Chapter 1153: Difficulty
What a coincidence.
Chen Xiangdong and his friends were afraid that if they arrived late, they would have to wait even longer after dinner.
Then it will disturb the whole family's rest.
I deliberately took a half-hour break from work to come here early.
When they arrived at the door, they bumped into Fu Jingyou.
Nodding his chin as a greeting, Fu Jingyou waited for Dandan to get off the bicycle before getting off.
Seeing that only Chen Xiangdong, Mei Zi, Lin Xian and Xie Fei were there, Fu Jingyou asked:
"Why didn't Gu Ying come?"
Xie Fei said, "There's no room in the car, and it's inconvenient to bring the child along, so she said she couldn't come. Xiaobao had something to say, so she asked me to come over and listen to the situation."
Fu Jingyou nodded in understanding, patted Chen Xiangdong and Xie Fei, and while chatting and laughing, he pushed his bicycle in front and led the group into the house.
"Miaomiao, Miaomiao? Is the meal ready? They are all here."
On the small sofa on the second floor, Lu Miao had just finished threading the wrist of a cotton glove and hadn't crocheted a few stitches when he heard someone arrive and quickly packed up his things.
"We've already started preparing, so it should be almost done by now. I'll go take a look. You guys go upstairs and sit down first!"
I said early in the morning that someone would be coming to our house today, so there would definitely be enough food.
However, Lu Miao invited people here this time because he had something to say.
Fu Jingyou bringing Dandan back was beyond her expectations.
It was inconvenient to ask Dandan to come upstairs for the banquet, so Lu Miao set up a small table in Shi An's study in the main courtyard on the first floor.
To prevent Dandan from feeling uncomfortable in front of the elders, Lu Miao arranged for him to eat alone with several other children.
Dandan probably didn't expect that he, a grown-up boy, would be assigned to the kids' table...
But it's not a big deal.
His craft was originally taught by Fu Jingyou.
Fu Jingyou is the master, and Lu Miao is the master's wife.
If you visit at this time, you will naturally follow the arrangements of the master and his wife.
Besides, when a group of people sat down around the table on the second floor and started eating, Lu Miao also asked why Gu Ying didn't come.
After hearing Xie Fei's explanation, she thought for a moment and nodded, then stood up and said:
"You guys eat first. I'll go downstairs and talk to Wang Xiu and the others to pack it up and order it. You can take it back later so that Gu Ying doesn't have to cook it again."
"No, no, Xiaobao, don't bother..."
Xie Fei stood up and tried to stop him, but Fu Jingyou, who was sitting next to him, put his hand on his shoulder and pushed him back.
Xie Fei looked at Fu Jingyou embarrassedly and said:
"There's really no need to go to all that trouble. She might have already eaten by the time we get back."
Fu Jingyou shook his head jokingly and said:
"Just listen to her, so she doesn't nag me again when you guys leave later."
Xie Fei was stunned.
After a while, Chen Xiangdong and the others at the table reacted and all laughed out loud.
Chen Xiangdong said, "Sister-in-law also nags people from time to time? I didn't notice it at all!"
Fu Jingyou raised the corners of his lips gently, raised his glass and took a sip of rice wine without saying a word.
Silence is better than words at this time.
It was inconvenient for Chen Xiangdong and the others to drink since they drove here, so they just raised their glasses and took a sip of soda with a smile.
They were having a good time when Lu Miao came up from the terrace with a clatter. When he sat down at the table again, he slowly started talking about the serious business:
"I'm not calling you here for anything else, it's mainly about the development of the factory. Wasn't I on a business trip a while ago?"
During the more than one month he spent on a business trip in Guangzhou, in addition to his daily work, Lu Miao also had some fragmented rest time every week.
Led by Matou, she traveled around Guangzhou.
During this period, I also met and chatted with Cheng Yingjie.
In short, Lu Miao came to a conclusion.
Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, at this time, look to Shanghai for industry and look to the capital for science and technology and education.
Relying on the policy advantages of being a coastal open city, Guangzhou has also achieved good performance in driving GDP in recent years.
Moreover, because of the Canton Fair held twice a year, the public acceptance there is higher than in other cities.
Now I have a factory and a store, but it’s boring to just guard a small piece of land.
If you want to do something, do it on a big scale.
Lu Miao directly expressed her thoughts, and as soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xian and Mei Zi spoke at the same time:
"Branch?"
"Opening in Guangzhou?"
Chen Xiangdong rubbed his head, thought for a moment and said:
"Business will definitely grow, but if we open a store in Guangzhou, how will we manage it in the future? It's so far away, can we manage it?"
Lu Miao said, "I've considered this. Matou has existing connections. He has a cousin who bought goods from us when we first started doing hair band business there... I met her on this business trip, and she's a pretty good person."
Lu Miao poured some soda and sipped it:
"We'll take care of Beijing North, and Guangzhou can be handed over to Matou. I discussed this with you guys before I came back. If it works, I'll arrange for his cousin to come to Beijing North soon."
Chen Xiangdong and the others pondered over what she said and remained silent for a while.
Lu Miao looked at Lin Xian and continued:
"Xiangdong and Meizi will be primarily responsible for the factory, so you'll be in charge of the store... Right now, we're only considering opening the first branch. There will definitely be a second and a third in the future. When that happens, you'll have to train the new hires in product knowledge and reception services. You need to be mentally prepared."
For example, if Matou's cousin came over, Lin Xian would definitely take over.
Lin Xian was still thinking about opening a branch. When she heard Lu Miao say this, she was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and nodded carefully.
What to say?
It would definitely be good if the factory grew bigger and bigger.
Lin Xian felt a little pressured as such an important task was suddenly assigned to her.
But if it's going to be more difficult, Lu Miao will definitely not let Lin Xian do it alone.
While eating the food on the table and talking, Lu Miao turned to look at Chen Xiangdong again:
"Besides this, there is another thing I want you to do this year."
Chen Xiangdong shook his head slightly, waiting for her next words in confusion.
Lu Miao asked:
"You did the ingredient test on the lipstick I got you last time, right?"
Chen Xiangdong nodded: "Yes, I have done it. I have obtained the qualification report."
As he spoke, he stood up and was about to get it.
The qualification report came out in the first month of the year. At that time, it was said that it would be sent to Lu Miao for review, but Lu Miao was in a hurry to go on a business trip and missed it.
"Don't worry about that. It will be the same in retrospect. Just make sure it's done."
Lu Miao waved his hand, and continued after careful consideration:
"Once we've confirmed the ingredients are correct, we can continue adjusting the mix according to this ratio... Now, besides putting the mold issue on the agenda, we also need to rent another piece of land."
"Renting land?"
Chen Xiangdong and the others looked at her again and asked:
"Is it used for expanding the factory?"
Lu Miao shook his head and explained with a smile:
"It's just ordinary farmland, or wasteland will do. It's mainly used to build greenhouses for growing cacti."
