Chapter 163 Chapter 163 Let's make money together
Jiang Xi is not like other candidates. After the exam, he takes a holiday, rests, and plays like crazy.
Jiang Xi had too much to do, and the college entrance examination was just one of her to-do items. After the exam, Jiang Xi did not rest, but followed Professor Wang and Qi Yu'an to study the vacuum tumbling machine.
Qi Yu'an also took the exam. For him, the college entrance examination was very easy. He had a good foundation and had prepared for the exam for so long. For him, the result of the college entrance examination was just a choice among a few top universities.
Under the guidance of Professor Wang, the research on the vacuum tumbling machine has taken shape, and the speed is faster than Jiang Xi imagined.
After several failures, the experiment started again with the humming sound of the machine. As the aroma of the marinade wafted out of the tumbler, it also announced that the experiment was a success. They really created a vacuum tumbler!
Although the vacuum kneading machine made by Professor Wang looks very simple compared to the vacuum kneading machines made abroad, it doesn’t matter what it looks like as long as it is easy to use.
Professor Wang calmly observed the operation of the vacuum tumbling machine, then said solemnly, "It's done."
Although it was a very small sound, it sounded like a huge thunder to the people around.
Liu Daqiang and Wu Yaoguo cheered, "Oh my god, we really made this machine! Oh my god, we can actually make so much braised food at once! We don't have to worry about production anymore!"
Even Zhou Jiangang got the news and rushed over from the Wu Ji Zao Lu branch at the train station. He was much more shocked than others.
Because among the people present, only he and Jiang Xi went to the Shanghai Stock Exchange and were shocked by the price of the vacuum tumbling machine.
Zhou Jiangang understood very well that the high price it could sell for was enough to prove how precious the vacuum tumbling machine was. When Jiang Xi proposed to build the machine himself, Zhou Jiangang supported it but did not hold out much hope. In his opinion, if such an expensive machine could be easily built, why didn't others build it, and would rather be fools for nothing?
But now Zhou Jiangang was slapped in the face. Although his face hurt, Zhou Jiangang was proud and excited. It turned out that working with Jiang Xi was right. Every day was magnificent, full of new changes and new gains.
They actually built such an expensive machine! A group of people almost danced around the newly-made vacuum tumbler, the joy on their faces more genuine than Chinese New Year.
Professor Wang was a little dissatisfied: "There are still some places that need to be adjusted. I will adjust them again."
Jiang Xi also supported Professor Wang's pursuit of excellence. After all, Professor Wang was very efficient. She had already waited for several days, so she could afford to wait another day or two. "Thank you, Professor Wang."
Professor Wang waved his hand and said, "I've been here these days. Please take good care of me. I have food and drink. I can also see old friends and feel good. You don't need to thank me."
Wang Yu still had a wrinkled face. In his opinion, the machines were already made. His father said he wanted to adjust it again. Isn't it just that he wanted to stay in Changfeng County for a longer time? Who is there in Changfeng County?
Well, in Changfeng County there are his father's old friends, and also Comrade Qi Yu'an, whom his father admires very much and wants to treat him as his own son. Although he does not understand these, he also respects them. However, he really cannot take leave anymore, otherwise he will lose his job in the factory.
Wang Yu frowned: "Dad, when will the machine be adjusted? When can we return to Shanghai?"
Professor Wang blew his beard and glared: "Why go back to Shanghai? If I don't go back to Shanghai, I will stay here."
"I don't like living in an apartment building, and I can't even go fishing in Shanghai. I want to stay here. I've made an appointment with Lao Xie to go fishing together, and I also want to raise chickens."
"Once the machine is built, I'll go to the chicken farm and see if hens can really turn into roosters."
Professor Wang hasn't forgotten this yet. The gate of the chicken farm is open and the chickens are right in front of him. Wouldn't it be a big disadvantage if he doesn't do some research?
Wang Yu's heart skipped a beat. Okay, he guessed it right. He advised, "Dad, I have to go back to Shanghai to work. I can't take care of you here. I'm worried about you staying here. Just come back with me."
Professor Wang's temper flared up: "Why would I ask you to take care of me? There are so many people here who can take care of me. Besides, the plaster on my leg will be removed soon. After that, I'll be more skilled than you. Please leave now."
Wang Yu…his image as the unlucky son remains unchanged today.
Everyone was smiling except Wang Yu, who was frowning.
Jiang Xi asked: "Comrade Wang, what do you do in the factory?"
Wang Yu replied: "I am the workshop director of the factory, mainly responsible for production."
Jiang Xi's eyes lit up and he asked, "So you are familiar with the machine production line?"
Wang Yu answered honestly, "Yes, although I'm not as good as my dad, I've been exposed to it since I was a child and I'm very familiar with machines. I can even repair simple machines."
Jiang Xi said, "Comrade Wang, why don't you come to work in my factory? I'll make you the workshop director and double your salary."
Wang Yu...his job is still there. Besides, he was doing well in Shanghai. It was too big of a difference for him to suddenly move to Changfeng County. Besides, suddenly changing cities to live is not something that can be decided in an instant. Wang Yu didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Jiang Xi said without any hesitation: "Comrade Wang, you can think about it again. Give me an answer after you have thought it through."
Wang Yu had something on his mind because of Jiang Xi's suggestion, and he didn't bother to persuade Professor Wang. He wrinkled his face and started thinking. Professor Wang glanced at his son and let him do what he wanted.
His son has grown up and has his own ideas. Even if he selfishly wants to stay in Changfeng County, he cannot force his son to stay here with him.
Because the vacuum tumbling machine was completed, the factory was filled with joy. Jiang Xi waved his hand and said, "Okay, ask the chef to prepare a few more dishes today. Let's have a meal together to celebrate!"
Xiufen smiled and said, "Okay, Director Jiang, I wanted to help you celebrate after the college entrance examination. Today we can celebrate together."
Jiang Xi smiled and said, "Okay, let's celebrate!"
There are indeed many things worth celebrating recently, and it can be said that there are many happy events.
However, it was absolutely happy news for Jiang Xi, but mixed news for Qi Yu'an. Jiang Xi received a notice from the Shanghai Industry and Commerce Bureau that the Wu Ji Zao Lu branch in Shanghai had been selected as a reliable store, and Jiang Xi was required to attend the award ceremony.
So Jiang Xi had to go to Shanghai first before he could go to Beijing with Qi Yu'an. But before going to Shanghai, Jiang Xi had to go to Wu Ji Zao Lu at the train station to check it out and talk to Li Bin.
Li Bin ordered several thousand servings of Wu Ji Zao Lu last time, and they sold better than he expected, so Li Bin placed a second order. Currently, Li Bin is Wu Ji Zao Lu's largest customer besides those in Shanghai.
Zhou Jiangang brought a message to Jiang Xi: "Director Jiang, Li Bin said he would bring a few people with him."
Jiang Xi asked: "Who is it?"
Zhou Jiangang said: "He hasn't said anything specific yet, but I guess he's probably a businessman."
Jiang Xi naturally welcomed Li Bin's introduction to more wholesalers. "Okay, get all the ingredients ready, and bring our vacuum-packed marinated vegetables with you. But before we go, let's have a meal and celebrate together."
Zhou Jiangang nodded: "We have to eat this meal. After all, it is a big happy event for our factory."
There were many happy events, and the chef prepared several large pots full of delicious dishes, including braised chicken, braised fish, a pot of spicy boiled pork slices, and a few vegetarian dishes. The dishes were placed in an iron pot, piled full, making people drool at the sight.
The workers all looked beaming. Jiang Xi said to them, "We are all here today to thank Professor Wang, Qi Yu'an, and Comrade Wang Yu."
"Thanks to them, we were able to build the vacuum tumbler. With this machine, our factory will take a huge leap forward, our production capacity will increase, our sales will increase, and everyone's wallets will get fatter!"
As soon as Jiang Xi finished speaking, the workers applauded enthusiastically, and some people in the crowd cheered, "Well said! Director Jiang!"
Jiang Xi's words were always brief but powerful, touching everyone's hearts. He was down-to-earth and unassuming. Someone took the lead, but everyone started shouting in unison: "My wallet is getting fatter, my wallet is getting fatter!"
This is a very simple wish and also a very practical wish. Isn't the purpose of doing business to make money?
Zhao Xiaofen, as a representative of the chicken farm, also came to the canteen of the brine factory, and Ma Xiaomei also came.
She had been the driver who brought Professor Wang back, and she and another driver took turns delivering goods. Today was her day off, and she didn't want to go back to the village, so Zhao Xiaofen dragged her to the canteen of the Zaolu Factory to celebrate together.
Ma Xiaomei looked calm, but she was actually very panicked. There were too many people here and she was having difficulty breathing.
Zhao Xiaofen was completely different from her. Her entire facial features were moving, and her voice was loud. "It's so lively, so amazing. You're worthy of being a professor from Shanghai. You're just different. How can such a big piece of metal be assembled into such a magical machine?"
Ma Xiaomei just nodded lightly. Wang Yu saw Ma Xiaomei in the crowd at a glance. He couldn't help but observe Ma Xiaomei's expression. Comrade Ma Xiaomei was still as calm as ever. Wang Yu couldn't help but sigh.
Ma Xiaomei noticed Wang Yu's gaze and glanced at him in confusion. She remembered this person; he was Professor Wang's son.
He doesn't talk much, looks harmless, and has a soft personality. Although he is from Shanghai, he doesn't put on airs or look down on others. Occasionally, workers in the factory discuss him and they all say good things about him.
Wang Yu noticed Ma Xiaomei's gaze, and their eyes met. Wang Yu suddenly felt embarrassed and nervous for some reason.
He first withdrew his gaze. Ma Xiaomei didn't understand why and just looked at him. Why was he so flustered? Forget it. Ma Xiaomei's attention was soon attracted by Zhao Xiaofen.
To be more precise, I was attracted by Zhao Xiaofen's words: "There are so many dishes, they look so delicious. I have never eaten the dishes the chef made today before. They smell so delicious. When will we start eating?"
Jiang Xi also noticed everyone's eager eyes and said with a smile, "Okay, I won't say any more nonsense. Everyone, enjoy your meal!"
After Jiang Xi finished speaking, the people who were together quickly dispersed. At first, everyone was a little reserved, after all, the factory director was there, but after Jiang Xi and Qi Yu'an each served themselves some food and sat down, the other workers were no longer reserved and rushed forward to eat.
"Hey, leave me a piece of meat."
"Hey, leave me a piece of fish, it smells so good."
"Our chef has invested a lot of money today. What do you say? The chef also listens to the factory director. The factory director is generous. Coming to this factory is a blessing. There is meat to eat every other day, and it is such delicious meat."
"Don't be greedy, just scoop two pieces. There are so many people waiting."
"I know, I know how much. I'm not stealing. I'm helping others."
…
The crowd was huddled together, and Liu Daqiang wanted to go up and stop the pushing and shoving.
Jiang Xi shook his head: "Today is a good day. As long as they don't go too far, don't stop them. Let's have a good meal."
Liu Daqiang finally gave up and rushed to eat the delicious food. Because of the workers' enthusiasm, their appetites were greatly whetted and they all ate an extra bowl of rice.
After dinner, Jiang Xi and Zhou Jiangang went to the Wu Ji Zao Lu branch at the train station.
At the Wu Ji Zao Lu branch at the train station, Li Bin and two wholesalers were already waiting outside, and Wu Youli was responsible for receiving them.
Li Bin said politely, "Manager Wu, please go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about us. I've been here several times and am familiar with all the procedures. I'll explain them to my two friends. You can take care of the store first."
Li Bin seemed to regard himself as half of the store's staff, and he took on the work for himself without Wu Youli's request.
The store is indeed short of staff now. The business of the branch at the railway station is particularly good now. In addition to serving wholesalers, it also does some retail business.
The train station is already crowded, and now Wu Ji Zao Lu has launched vacuum packaging. Travelers who can afford it will buy a few packs of braised chicken to eat on the train. Whether it is paired with steamed buns or homemade sesame cakes, they can have a good meal.
Besides braised chicken, there are also braised peanuts, braised kelp, braised lotus root and other vegetarian dishes, which are much cheaper than braised chicken.
Chinese people say that a poor family can be rich on the road, so even the poorest people on the road will buy one or two bags of Wu Ji Zao Lu to try when they see it. The total amount is quite considerable, which makes the store very busy.
He is busy almost from morning to night every day. The two salesmen he recruited are too busy to handle the work, and the new salesman is still on the way. As the store manager, Wu Youli has to help with inventory and sales, and he is very busy all day long.
Wu Youli was not polite after hearing Li Bin's words. Although he was not as eloquent as Wu Yaoguo, he had been in business for so long that he had a way of judging people.
Although Li Bin also has some business aspirations, he is a good person overall. "Then I'll be busy now. If you need anything outside, just call me."
Li Bin said: "Okay, don't worry."
After Wu Youli left, Li Bin invited his two friends to sit down like a host, and took out a booklet with familiarity. Li Bin's movements were very cautious, as if he was afraid of damaging the booklet, which made the other two people a little nervous.
Chen Dongliang and Ma Chao had not been doing business for long, but they had known Li Bin for a long time. So when they heard that Li Bin had imported Wu Ji's braised pork products and that they were selling very well and making a lot of money, they asked Li Bin to be their lobbyist to discuss business.
Seeing Li Bin like this, Chen Dongliang couldn't help but ask: "Brother Li, what is this? Why are you so careful?"
Ma Chao couldn't help but ask, "Brother Li, this isn't some kind of manual like the Sunflower Manual, right?"
Ma Chao stutters when he is nervous, and he especially likes to repeat meaningless words. He says several things in one sentence, but the meaning is very clear. Ma Chao can't understand why Li Bin is so cautious.
Li Bin was a little annoyed that the two men didn't know what they were talking about. However, considering they had been friends for many years, he patiently explained, "Although this isn't the Sunflower Manual, it's also a secret to making money."
"I wouldn't show it to ordinary people, but Director Jiang isn't here, so I'm letting you take a good look. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again."
"I heard this brochure is for big clients. You crooked fellows are not worthy of Director Jiang handing it out."
Chen Dongliang and Ma Chao both admired Li Bin, and they followed Li Bin here today because they had something to ask of him.
He was not angry when Li Bin said that. Instead, he smiled and said, "Brother Li, it's us brothers who are blind. The things you showed us so carefully must be good. We will definitely take a good look at them carefully."
Even if you don't understand it, pretend to do so. Even if you don't recognize the words on it, find an angle to praise it.
Li Bin was satisfied then. What he wanted to show Chen Dongliang and Ma Chao was the Wu Ji Zao Lu brand brochure made by Jiang Xi and Yang Xuerong.
Holding the brochure in his hand, Li Bin once again exclaimed that the brochure was well made and wonderfully done. It seemed that it had been upgraded to an even better version, with the cover becoming even more beautiful. It was a hand-painted painting that looked delicate and high-end.
Exquisite and high-end are new words that Li Bin learned after a trip to Shanghai. The salesperson at the high-end watch counter in the big shopping mall told him that their watches are both exquisite and high-end.
Li Bin didn't take it seriously at the time. He thought that a watch costing several thousand dollars must be high-end.
However, Li Bin kept these two words in mind. Nowadays, when people sell goods, they just talk about cheapness and affordability, which has nothing to do with sophistication and high-end.
However, Li Bin has been in business for many years, so when he heard these two words, he felt that they were good words. As long as something is exquisite and high-end, the price will definitely be high.
This booklet is a bit exquisite and high-end, but it is a bit of a waste to use it to promote braised pork.
If other high-priced items were promoted in this way, it might be more useful.
But Li Bin was just thinking about this. He could copy the form, but every sentence in this booklet had been carefully considered and supported by data. If someone found out that it was fake, it would be a waste of time.
Besides, although Li Bin had attended school for a few years and knew some words, he believed that his writing skills were not as good as those of those who made booklets.
All in all, the Wu Ji Zao Lu brochure opened Li Bin's eyes and made him think a lot. However, ideas are just ideas, and Li Bin is sure to continue doing business with Wu Ji Zao Lu.
He even mentioned this matter to his good friends Chen Dongliang and Ma Chao, so that everyone can make money together.
Handing the Wu Ji Zao Lu brochure to the two men, Li Bin said, "Dongliang, Ma Chao, this is the brochure I told you about. Take a look, it's incredible."
"If you can't see the trick, I can only say that you are not suitable for business and have no business sense."
Chen Dongliang, Ma Chao and Li Bin are of similar age. Chen Dongliang is thinner, with small eyes narrowed into a line, while Ma Chao has a big face and a fleshy nose. They both took the brochure from Li Bin and started to look through it.
At first, both of them were a little unimpressed, but the more they read, the more they felt that there was something to this booklet. As they flipped through it, they exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, Lao Li, I thought you were exaggerating. I didn't expect this manual to be so well done."
Ma Chao used to be in the seafood business, dealing with smelly fish all day long. Things like refinement and high-end were far away from him.
But even so, Ma Chao felt that this booklet was something that only a factory doing serious business had, and was completely different from their small-scale business.
At least with this thing, the first impression it gives people will be that this factory is real and has a plan. To put it bluntly, this partner will not go bankrupt so easily, nor will he lose money.
And the pattern on it is really well drawn. Although Ma Chao is a rough man, he also has a hobby, which is reading comic books.
When he had no money before, he always borrowed comic books from his classmates. Now that he has money, he will go to the bookstall from time to time to buy some. Although he draws it himself and his drawings are ugly, he has a heart that loves beauty.
Ma Chao stared intently at the illustrations in the album, while Chen Dongliang was looking at the sales data of Wu Ji Zao Lu. Wow, this is incredible. If one can only make a dime for a serving of Zao Lu, how much money would he make if he sold so many.
The sales data of the product manual is updated regularly. Compared with the first edition of the product manual, the current sales have quadrupled.
Chen Dongliang's determination to make money is much stronger than Ma Chao's. His family is burdened with five children. When he opens his eyes, he sees a bunch of children crying for food.
His mother was also sick, so Chen Dongliang decided to do business with Li Bin. Seeing the sales data of Wu Ji Zao Lu, Chen Dongliang couldn't help but imagine whether he could also make so much money if he cooperated with Wu Ji Zao Lu in the future.
Oh, no, even if I can't earn that much, even if I can earn one percent or one ten-thousandth, I won't have to worry about food and clothing.
Chen Dongliang and Ma Chao have different focuses, but their final ideas are very consistent. The owner of Wu Ji Zao Lu is amazing, and you can make money by following him. He has a bright future.
Seeing that his two friends finally knew what was going on, Li Bin felt a little proud. "I told you, I wasn't lying. I've traveled a lot over the years and have seen everything and met countless people. The owner of this store is incredible, don't underestimate him."
"In addition to this store, they have several other stores. They even opened a store in Shanghai, and they also opened two factories in Changfeng County."
Chen Dongliang said as he looked through the brochure, "He's opened two factories. I thought Boss Jiang only had one store."
