Shen Huanxi tilted his neck back and shook his head.
"Shanhe, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be doing these. You are a person who has no interest in business. If it weren't for me, you would be designing and experimenting with train power instead of doing these business plans." She lowered her head and looked at him again, feeling extremely apologetic and grateful.
"Hmm?" Xiao Shanhe curled his lips, "Did you break my legs?"
"ah?"
"I am not designing and experimenting with train power because my physical condition does not allow it, not you. My legs are injured, and it has nothing to do with you."
"That's not what I meant." Shen Huanxi shook his head. "What I meant was that if it weren't for me, you would never have been able to do these business plans in your life. Even if you couldn't go to work due to health reasons, you should have been drawing blueprints at home..."
"Okay, this is an approximate initial investment cost. I have also given you an estimate for every aspect. See if there is anything that is unreasonable or needs to be supplemented." Xiao Shanhe did not continue the previous topic with Shen Huanxi, but handed over a new form.
His behavior showed that he wanted to help her.
Shen Huanxi saw his attitude, and the man just insisted on helping her.
The other person meant well, and she couldn't keep telling him not to do it, so she took out the form.
In this new form, Xiao Shanhe supplemented the plan he had just made.
The plan I just made includes things like factories, equipment, warehouses, and labor.
In his supplement, he also wrote about the most important thing that we must consider, which is cost.
"Here is the current land price. You can choose a suitable place for the factory. You have to consider the location, transportation, and environmental protection. The country currently has no environmental protection policy, but you must deal with the pomace when making juice, which can easily cause a bad smell. If you do it in a busy city, it is likely to cause dissatisfaction among the people around. You can separate the factory and the warehouse, but this will increase the transportation cost between the two locations, and there is also..."
Xiao Shanhe explained each item to Shen Huanxi one by one.
Shen Huanxi listened at the side like a primary school student, nodding from time to time.
If she had done what Xiao Shanhe did for her, she could definitely do it herself, but Xiao Shanhe was more familiar with the area, so it might take her longer and she might not be able to do it as thoroughly as Xiao Shanhe.
Shen Huanxi knew that Xiao Shanhe had never been involved in the business world.
She is different. She has been a businesswoman for decades in her previous life.
However, at this moment she discovered that Xiao Shanhe was no worse than her in business planning.
He challenged her professionalism with his own amateurism, and succeeded.
Just now she was thinking that if Xiao Shanhe went into business, there would be no place for Su Liming.
Now she thought that Xiao Shanhe was such a smart man, no matter what field he was in, he would definitely be the most outstanding one, and it could be said that there would be no room for others to succeed.
"That's it. If you really want to build a factory instead of a small family workshop, the initial investment cost will be about 30,000 yuan. Do you have enough money now? If not, we can start with a small workshop and build a factory after earning enough money. But what I suggest is to take out a loan to do it better and get it done in one go."
"That's enough!" Shen Huanxi nodded. "I've made more than 30,000 yuan from speculating in stamps recently."
"Okay, I'll go with you to see the land tomorrow." Xiao Shanhe said calmly.
This surprised Shen Huanxi a little.
"I made more than 30,000 yuan in such a short time, why aren't you surprised at all?" she asked.
Nowadays, the annual expenses of an average family are only 300-400 yuan, and if you save some, 100-200 yuan is enough. The monthly salary of a regular employee in an ordinary state-owned enterprise is only 30-40 yuan.
And she was able to earn 30,000 or 40,000 yuan in such a short time, but Xiao Shanhe didn't question her at all, nor was he the slightest bit surprised. He was a little too calm.
When he heard her ask this, he smiled at her.
"It's normal to make 30,000 or 40,000 yuan by speculating in stamps in this amount of time."
"That's true." Shen Huanxi knew that he had caught up with a good era for stamp speculation.
"No..." She suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Xiao Shanhe.
"What's wrong?"
"You know you can make money speculating in stamps! You know that, right? So you could have speculated in stamps..."
"Yeah." Xiao Shanhe nodded.
"Didn't you always feel guilty about me going to the machinery factory to make extra money? Yes, I went to the machinery factory to make extra money to give you money, but I could have chosen to make money for you by speculating in stamps, but I didn't. Because designing machinery for the machinery factory is the closest way to make money to my profession, and I can make money for you without giving up my profession. So Huanxi, you don't have to feel guilty anymore in the future, you can spend the money I give you with confidence and boldness."
"Yeah!" Shen Huanxi nodded heavily. Xiao Shanhe's words really made her let go of all the psychological pressure.
It's great that this man has never given up his profession and passion because of her.
In the past, when she saw him earning extra money for her at major machinery factories, she felt touched, happy, and guilty. Now, she was left with only touching and happiness.
Shen Huanxi looked at his handsome face, and for a moment, he had an idea to hug him and kiss him.
After living for two lifetimes, this was the first time she felt that she was so much like a woman and could even think of such a coquettish action.
Thinking of that scene, her face turned red and she felt that she was too crazy. Although he and Xiao Shanhe were husband and wife, they had communicated before they got married. Their marriage was more like a partnership of getting what they needed.
In this case, how could she really hug him, kiss him, and act coquettishly with him?
…
Shen Huanxi is about to start her juice factory, so someone has to look after Huanxi Shop.
Shen Huanxi went to find Deng Runmei and Wei Zhenzhen.
When Shen Huanxi was working as a waitress in a state-owned hotel, she made many friends and had a good relationship with many of them. But later on, her colleagues and friends all expanded their businesses and became stronger. Now the only ones most suitable to help her are Deng Runmei and Wei Zhenzhen.
Shen Huanxi did not waste time and directly explained her purpose when she met the two people. She wanted them to come to her store to help.
"The weather is getting colder and colder, and it's almost snowing. When it snows in a while, it will be inconvenient for you two to carry your goods on your shoulders and walk around the streets to sell things. Why don't you come to my shop to help me? We can also put the things you want to sell in my shop, which is worse than you running around outside with your shoulders on your shoulders.
Runmei, Zhenzhen, I have no other choice but to ask you two for help. I am worried about recruiting people I don’t know. Can you two help me with this?”
Deng Runmei and Wei Zhenzhen's eyes widened as they listened to Shen Huanxi's words.
After a while, the two of them came to their senses.
"Huanxi, what can I do to help you? I think you came to me to talk about this matter. I was just worried about having no place to set up my stall when it rained or snowed. Now I feel sleepy and you are giving me a pillow, right?"
"Yes, Huanxi! Don't ask me whether you will help or not. Since you are busy with your new factory, you can just hand over your store to me. I don't want any salary. If you let me set up a stall in your store, I will feel bad if I don't pay you the rent. Why should I ask for salary?"
"Yes, yes, I don't want a salary either. I was thinking about renting a shop to sell things, but the rent is getting higher and higher now, I can't afford it. Now you give me your shop for free to sell things, I am so happy that I can't wait to ask you for a salary."
…
Wei Zhenzhen and Deng Runmei were talking back and forth, both of them feeling like they had taken advantage.
Shen Huanxi shook his head.
"No, I still have to pay you. I originally planned to recruit employees, and I have to pay them. How come the people I recruited are my two friends, and I don't want to pay them? I won't feel comfortable with that.
If you two don’t want the salary, I won’t want you two anymore. I will go out to find those people I don’t know, and then I will be worried that they will steal things from my store, and I won’t be able to run my factory properly…”
"Don't be happy, don't say that. We want our wages, don't we? We want our wages, we want our wages."
"I want wages, I want wages."
Deng Runmei and Wei Zhenzhen became a little anxious after hearing what Shen Huanxi said.
Shen Huanxi felt relieved when he heard them say that.
"Okay, let's make this deal. I'll pay you both thirty dollars a month, and you'll help me take care of the store. I'll later spell out the recycling and selling prices of various stamps, as well as the commission for consignment stamps."
…
Shen Huanxi spent a day with Deng Runmei and Wei Zhenzhen to familiarize them with stamp-related business.
Early the next morning, she went with Xiao Shanhe to look at and buy land.
The location Shen Huanxi chose was in the suburbs. Firstly, the land price in the suburbs was cheaper, and secondly, it was an environmental issue.
What Xiao Shanhe said is correct. The current government still does not care about the environmental protection of various types of factories. There are many factories in urban areas that discharge sewage and odor, but no one cares.
But this is only for now. When these problems become issues that affect other people's lives, the government will definitely intervene.
Moreover, Shen Huanxi had a conscience, and she didn't want her business to have any negative impact on other people's lives. And if it really brought trouble to others, she was afraid of retaliation, or affecting the reputation of her business.
The biggest cost for her to run this factory was the purchase of land. The land price in the suburbs is much cheaper than that in the city. Shen Huanxi spent 12,000 yuan to buy two acres of land.
In this era, selling land is still a revenue-generating project for the government. Buying land from the government is a very simple matter and the relevant procedures can be completed quickly.
Xiao Shanhe then immediately helped Shen Huanxi find a contractor to build a factory. He went to complete the relevant procedures for opening the factory for her, while Shen Huanxi went to the glass bottle factory to order bottles. After placing the order, she went to the home appliance city to reserve a freezer.
Nowadays, commercial invoices are no longer required to buy freezers, but Shen Huanxi needs to buy a lot of freezers, at least twenty. Small cities may not have so many freezers, so she has to ask in advance.
When I asked, there really wasn't one.
And it’s not that there aren’t that many goods, it’s that there are no goods at all.
Shen Huanxi knew that the current state-owned home appliance malls were not as well run as some private ones. Not only did the service attitudes not seem good, but the goods were also not very new. She even went to one of the most famous private appliance malls in Yunnan Province, but she didn't expect that they were still out of stock.
Fortunately, the salesperson at the private home appliance store was very enthusiastic about business and very patient with Shen Huanxi.
Nowadays, the cheapest domestically produced refrigerator costs more than 100 yuan, and the most expensive one costs 500 or 600 yuan. Not to mention the better imported ones, some cost thousands of yuan. If you can sell one, it means a huge sales amount.
When the salesperson heard that Shen Huanxi wanted to buy a freezer, he was very happy, thinking that he could make a big deal. However, he didn't expect that Shen Huanxi insisted on having a freezer instead of a refrigerator.
"Who uses a freezer at home nowadays? A freezer is not convenient. You have to bend down to get something, and it only has a freezing function, not a refrigeration function.
Refrigerators are different. They are upright, take up little space, and are divided into compartments, making it convenient to put things in and take things out. Nowadays, no family uses a freezer." The salesperson persuaded Shen Xihuan.
Shen Huanxi shook his head.
"I don't use it at home, I use it in the factory that my family runs."
"For factory use?" The salesperson was disappointed to see Shen Huanxi shaking her head and saying she didn't want the refrigerator. But when he heard that she wanted it for factory use, his eyes lit up again.
"Comrade, if it is for the factory, then you should want more than one, right? If you want more than one, don't tell us that we have them. We won't have them even if you go to another home appliance mall. If you want so many, you can place a deposit with us and we will help you get the goods from the factory.
You may have to wait for a few days for this process, but you have to wait no matter where you go. If you order such a large quantity from us, we will give you a big discount. Do you think this is suitable?" asked an older salesperson who looked like a store manager.
Shen Huanxi nodded.
"I want 20 units. Give me a quote now and I'll take a look."
"Okay, wait for me. I'll call our leader to ask about the price. Xiao Li, pour this comrade a cup of tea and take her to sit and rest for a while." The older salesperson instructed the younger one.
"Okay. Comrade, come, have a cup of tea first and wait for our Sister Zhou. Our Sister Zhou will ask the leader and give you the most favorable price." Xiao Li said as he handed the teacup to Shen Huanxi.
Several sales assistants also came over to Shen Huanxi curiously and asked for 20 freezers at once. This was the largest order they had received since the store opened. Everyone was curious about what kind of factory Shen Huanxi was going to open.
"A juice factory? I know Mr. Luo's canning factory, but I've never heard of a juice factory."
"I haven't heard of it either. The main reason is that there aren't many fruits here in Yunnan City. The most abundant fruit is apples, and apple juice isn't very abundant, so no one has built a juice factory."
"That's right. We just don't have much fruit here. If we have to ship fruit from other places, the cost would be lower than opening a juice factory in a fruit producing area. Comrade, why did you open a juice factory in a place like Yunnan?"
As we chatted, we all became curious.
Shen Huanxi smiled.
"I make sea buckthorn juice. There are not only apples in Yunnan City, but also sea buckthorns all over the mountains."
"Sea buckthorn? Are they those small orange-red fruits?" Xiao Li frowned as he spoke, and the other young sales clerks also frowned.
"Comrade, don't you think sea buckthorn fruit is very sour? It also has a strange smell."
"That's right. When I was a kid, there were sea buckthorn berries all over our house. We never ate them because they tasted too sour and weird."
"How do you all know that fruit is sour?" Shen Huanxi asked.
"Hey, who in Yunnan City doesn't know about it? It grows everywhere in the mountains and it's not poisonous. Which curious kid hasn't tried it?" Xiao Li said.
Shen Huanxi nodded.
"That's true. Sea buckthorn fruit tastes quite sour when eaten directly, but it tastes really good when made into juice. How about this? When the juice I make starts to be sold in a while, you can come to the Happy Shop on Taiping Street to find me. We're pretty familiar with each other here today, so I'll give you a free taste. You'll know after you try it that the sea buckthorn juice I make is really not sour."
"Oh, how can I say that?"
"I'm not being polite, Comrade Shen. Let's make a deal. When I go to your shop to try the juice you make, you can't charge me."
"Xiao Li is so rude, so I want to go too."
"Okay." Shen Huanxi smiled at them.
This privately owned appliance mall is indeed different from the state-owned one. The income of the people there is linked to performance, and their attitude towards customers is very good, unlike the state-owned appliance mall where the employees receive a fixed salary.
Shen Huanxi also wanted to raise the profile of her sea buckthorn juice through various means. If more people could help her taste it, it would help her build her reputation.
The young salespeople here were chatting with her, while the older salespeople were already calling their leaders to inquire about orders and discounts.
Jiang Shufen and Su Chaoyang accompanied Lanlingxiang to the home appliance city to order exhaust fans for the production room for painting furniture. The order was a large quantity. Lan Linxiang went to negotiate the price, and Su Chaoyang and Jiang Shufen were waiting.
Su Chaoyang went to the bathroom and suddenly looked sullen when he came back. Jiang Shufen became worried when she saw this.
"Why do you look so bad? Didn't I tell you to behave better? In the past, your sister-in-law didn't let you get involved in the factory's affairs. Now that I've finally brought you out to buy factory supplies, why can't you behave better?"
"Mom, I saw Shen Huanxi there. When I passed by the director's office of this home appliance store just now, I seemed to hear someone inside making a phone call saying that Shen Huanxi wanted to order a lot of refrigerators from them?" Su Chaoyang explained.
"Then don't worry about it. Have you forgotten that we both got into trouble twice when we provoked Shen Huanxi? Don't provoke her again now."
"I don't want to provoke her, but I get angry when I see her. Mom, I want to find her." Su Chaoyang just couldn't swallow the anger in his heart.
He had to see Shen Huanxi regret, because only Shen Huanxi regretted it could prove that he was not a waste, and that it was Shen Huanxi's problem that he and Shen Huanxi didn't succeed, and that Shen Huanxi was blind.
"Why are you going to see her?!" Jiang Shufen held Su Chaoyang at the door. "Haven't you suffered enough from her? I know she's pretty, and you're thinking about her. Now they've got a marriage certificate, so don't make such a fuss."
"Mom, haven't you always been on my side? Why are you on that woman's side now? Have you forgotten how she humiliated me? Have you forgotten why I can't find a partner now? It's all because of that woman!"
"Why would I side with her? Everyone knows that she is the one who caused all this trouble. I hate her more than you do! I wish I could peel off the skin of Shen Huanxi. Your sister-in-law just agreed to take you out shopping, can't you be patient for now? Impatience leads to big plans.
When you have established yourself in your brother's factory and have your own business, it won't be too late for you to go back and look for Shen Huanxi. By then, you won't have to humiliate her, she will regret it to death." Jiang Shufen held Su Chaoyang, fearing that he would go to look for Shen Huanxi on impulse.
But how could she hold it back?
"Mom, I have a job in my factory now, so I'm not eating for free. I just want to go see Shen Huanxi. Don't worry, I won't quarrel with her, and I won't suffer any loss." Su Chaoyang pushed Jiang Shufen away and went to find Shen Huanxi.
The two previous times he clashed with Shen Huanxi, he was an unemployed vagrant. But now it is different. He is more confident now.
"Hey, Comrade Xiao Shen, what a coincidence, you are here too." Su Chaoyang saw Shen Huanxi in the home appliance area and went over to say hello.
Xiao Li and the others looked over and immediately recognized Su Chaoyang.
"Comrade Su, what are you buying today? It turns out you know Comrade Shen. What a coincidence! Comrade Shen also came to our store to buy something today." Xiao Li said.
Su Chaoyang just nodded at him, without saying anything more, and looked at Shen Huanxi.
He had also heard some things about Shen Huanxi recently. He knew that she opened a shop to resell stamps and also worked in the Sanbei Command.
I thought she would be tired and old doing so many things at the same time, but I didn't expect that she looks more radiant now than before.
Su Chaoyang's eyes were glued to Shen Huanxi and he couldn't move them away. He wanted to see more but was also surprised.
"What do you want?" Shen Huanxi asked with a frown.
"It's nothing, we are old acquaintances, and I wanted to chat with you. I'm working as a warehouse manager at the Liming Furniture Factory. I can earn a lot of money a month, and I'll be able to be promoted to a deputy factory manager within two years. I wonder how you're doing now." Su Chaoyang was showing off his current job to Shen Huanxi.
Shen Huanxi lowered his head, took a sip of tea and ignored him.
Su Chaoyang thought that she was afraid to speak after hearing about her future, so he took a few steps closer to her.
"I heard that you are going to open a factory too? You came to order refrigerators? Tell me, why do you, a woman, have to work so hard? If you had married me, you would have been the wife of the deputy director in two years. Why do you have to work so hard like you do now?
Some people who are not as good-looking as you can find a long-term meal ticket and live a life of luxury, but you insisted on following Xiao Shanhe. Now you are a woman wandering around outside. I feel sorry for you. I don’t know if the people around you who are close to you blame Xiao Shanhe. You could have been the wife of a deputy director, but now he makes your life so difficult." Su Chaoyang shook his head and sighed.
Xiao Li and the others couldn't help but look at Shen Huanxi in surprise.
When Shen Huanxi came to order so many refrigerators next time, they thought she was rich and generous, but they never thought that she almost got together with Su Chaoyang.
Su Chaoyang often came to their electrical appliance store with Lanling Xiangxiang to buy things recently. They were all familiar with him and knew that he was the younger brother of the owner of the Liming Furniture Factory.
Liming Furniture Factory is the largest and most popular furniture factory in Yunnan City. Its products are sold throughout the province and even outside the province. How many people want to marry the younger brother of Liming Furniture Factory.
The sales clerks who just thought Shen Huanxi was rich and powerful now felt sorry for him.
Su Chaoyang was right. As long as she married him, she would be living a life of luxury. Why would a woman have to come out and do business in the public eye?
Shen Huanxi put down the cup in his hand and looked at Su Chaoyang.
"You feel sorry for me. You think that I didn't succeed with you, but succeeded with Xiao Shanhe instead. I am asking for trouble, right?"
