Chapter Twelve: New Product
Back from the appointment, Wang Licheng ate early, took a
bath, and went to bed. Tomorrow he will get up early to go to Jiangcheng. This
time he went to Jiangcheng to solve the problem of ordering and delivery.
Wang Licheng's brother-in-law is the team leader of the
truck driver team of the food factory. After knowing that his brother-in-law
needs to contact the truck in advance to bring the goods back every time he
buys goods, he contacted several drivers in the factory who ran the Jiangcheng
special line.
"Licheng, our factory travels to Jiangcheng several times
a week. The goods shipped to other provinces are all shipped out through
Jiangcheng. Every time we go there with a full truck and return empty."
"Brother-in-law, what do you mean?" Want them to
help him bring the goods back. He knew that his brother-in-law was the leader
of the driver group.
"You can call to order the goods, give me an order
form, and I will ask the driver in the factory to help you bring the goods back
by the way." Then give them some money as appropriate. They are also
willing to do it.
"How much does it cost to pull one time?"
"You look at it. Their monthly salary is 120."
"Then 50 per time!" He always called 100 cars in
Jiangcheng.
"That’s too many, 30 at most." He thought his
brother-in-law would go to 20 at most, but he told the transporters 15. Now the
number is doubled, happy to bad for them.
This was brought up to him by his daughter-in-law, who knew
the nature of his work and asked him if he could help his brother-in-law. It
became that those people in their group would be more obedient.
Wang Licheng first went to a few shops with regular
purchases. I told several shopkeepers the intention of ordering by phone and
picking up the goods with the receipt.
This time, he has another important task. Just buy clothes.
He is in love, so he should pay attention to his personal image. Besides, the
clothes at home are old, and I don't like them either and those underwear.
The underpants are made of thicker knitted cotton. The hem
is folded in three layers, the waistband is folded in two layers, and there is
an elastic band in the middle, which is not thick.
In this weather, my underwear is sweaty every day. I
wandered around the department store, but I didn't see any suitable ones, so I
could only choose the ones with thinner fabrics and buy a few.
I bought three straight jeans and a few round neck T-shirts.
Finally went to the famous watch shop in Pucheng to see the
watch.
He is wearing the watch that his father wore before his
death. The watch is still very new, and his father should cherish it, but it is
too ugly, and it needs to be wound every day.
In this era, there is no mobile phone, and it is very
inconvenient to check the time without a watch. Xiao Hongyan also has a watch,
which is golden yellow and looks old.
Wang Licheng chose two watches, both from Nantiecheng, one
for men and one for women; 180 for men and 240 for women. He didn't go to see
Xiao Hongyan today. I brought some small items and carried it back to the store
by manpower.
The meat that was loose in the second half of last year has
been firmed up again through the delivery of goods in the past few months. He
did not deliberately add more protein to build muscle, so it is more natural
and not obvious.
As for Xiao Hongyan's performance yesterday, he attributed
it to the fact that she hadn't seen much of the bodies of young men. Although
it is normal to go shirtless in the summer of this era, most of them are
married adult men or children.
He felt that the half-eldest son was still a little ashamed,
and the original body was like that.
Xue Lili's sales are getting better and better. He has
returned the money for the warehouse to his mother. He now has more than 8,000 Yuan
on hand. When the weather gets cold, he will sell almost 20,000 Yuan of Xue
Lili's inventory. He plans to take advantage of it. When the weather is cold
and the sales of Xili Li decline, the warehouse and the old house of the family
will be rebuilt.
He already had a preliminary idea, and briefly drew the
requirements and internal structure on paper.
He doesn't understand design, but he has seen so many houses
of later generations. Know how to live comfortably and conveniently.
Another Saturday, the two made an appointment to meet at the
park gazebo.
When he was about to go out, the phone at the door of the
store rang. It was only 8:00 in the morning, and it was too early to order.
"Hello" two hellos sounded at the same time.
"Is it Brother Licheng? I'm sorry I can't go out
today."
"Is there something wrong?"
"It's okay." There was another cramp, and the
answer was a little weak.
"What's wrong? Are you sick?" It looked fine
yesterday, but the voice on the phone was so weak.
"No, don't ask anymore, I'm hanging up!" "
She hung up the phone and trotted home.
What's the matter with her? Could this be the one who came here?
He doesn't seem to have seen sanitary pads here, isn't there any sanitary pads
yet? It's annoying, it's early. Their second date is gone.
Her menarche came at the age of 13, and it happened that the
object of my eldest brother came to the house that day. Anyway, it was embarrassing
to talk about it. My mother died, my second sister went out to play, and
menstruation was still the first time. The woman she met once told her. In the end,
the woman didn't become her sister-in-law.
Since this annoying thing came, she learned that the pain
can be so painful. Every time she came on the first day, she would be in pain,
the second sister said she also hurts, and I heard that it won't hurt after
giving birth.
Sometimes the pain is unbearable, and she thinks to give
birth to a child.
He thought about it all morning, and after having lunch at
noon, he called his mother upstairs.
“Mom, have you ever used a sanitary napkin?" My mother
is 51 years old this year, and maybe she hasn't had menopause yet.
"What is a sanitary napkin?" Is there really not any
napkins now.
"It's not important, what do you guys use every month
for your period?" Embarrassed, embarrassed.
"Licheng, are you in a relationship?"
"Mom, no, I want to sell women's products, I don't
understand."
"Why are you a big man thinking about selling these things?"
A man sells things for women, no matter what he thinks feeling a little
awkward.
"I'm not sure yet. If you want to know more, Mom just
tell me first!"
"We all use menstrual strips. Your sister and the others
seem to use menstrual strips with menstrual pants. Men don't always sell these
women's products and women won't be willing to buy from men." If he wants
to sell, he also sells wholesale, and besides, isn't mom a woman?
"Well, I see, I'll understand first." In the afternoon,
he went to several stores that sold daily necessities. Two or three of them
were selling sanitary napkins, but there was only one type, Heng'an Le brand.
He had the idea of buying a pack, thinking that there is
no plastic bag, it is not good for him to be a big man walking on the street
with a sanitary napkin.
Jiang Cheng is already using plastic bags. If he wants to
sell sanitary napkins, he needs to bring in plastic bags.
He returned to the store and asked Liu Fengzhen to buy a pack
of sanitary napkins.
He secretly hid in the upstairs room to remove sanitary
napkins. It's so thick, it doesn't have any wings yet.
This pack is 2 Yuan, there are 16 tablets in it, and two
packs a month are enough. The cost of using it on sanitary napkins is only 4 Yuan,
how come no one uses this thing?
He felt that there were only three companies selling
sanitary napkins in Pucheng, which meant that there was no market for sanitary
napkins in Pucheng. He guessed that the market might not have opened yet.
At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, there was no one
in the store. He moved a chair and sat in front of the telephone to call the
manufacturer of Heng'anle sanitary napkins.
"Hello, we are Heng’Anle Industrial Company."
"Hello, I would like to know about this product from
your company, Heng'anle."
"Do you need to place an order?"
"Well, to place an order, but I want to know
first."
"Okay, may I ask your surname and leave a contact
number, I'll notify our company's salesperson to contact you."
No one contacted him until Monday, when he went to work and
wasn't there.
Fortunately, the other party has left a phone number.
When he called after get off work, the phone was picked up
immediately, and the other party should be waiting for his call.
The two exchanged for a few minutes. The other party said
that Jiangcheng had a branch, and someone would contact him for an interview.
The company Heng’Anle is a relatively large paper product
company in later generations. I only know that the handkerchief paper they make
is relatively famous, and I have never heard of it selling sanitary napkins.
On Wednesday, Wang Licheng took leave to go to the bus
station to pick up the sales staff sent by the Anle Jiangcheng branch for
inspection.
The salesman stayed in Pucheng for two days, and Wang
Licheng stayed with him on leave.
I haven't had time to meet Xiao Hongyan these days.
"To tell you the truth, you don't meet our requirements
for recruiting dealers at all. You originally sold non-staple food here, and
you sold less daily necessities. The most important point is that you are
already a dealer of Xueli." He also wants to be the general distributor of
two stores in one store.
However, he still has an advantage. I heard that Xue Lili
only entered Pucheng in May this year. In two months, you can see that almost
every store in Pucheng has Xue Lili. This shows that the man in front of him
has done a good job in marketing.
"I understand what you're talking about. When it comes
to autumn, there will be a lot fewer people drinking beverages. At that time,
my store will become Heng'anle's specialty store.
And a whole wall of my store can be used as Heng'anle's
store. As you have seen these two days, the sales of Heng'anle in Pucheng are
very bleak. I think it still needs the placement of advertisements if you want
to promote it.
“The particularity of this product makes it more difficult
to open up the market and requires more time. "
"Okay, I'm also a cheerful person, let you try it
first!" I'll go back today and come back when I'm ready for the contract.
After seeing off the salesperson, Wang Licheng immediately called Xiao Hongyan.
Xiao Hongyan's house did not have a phone number, and the
phone number was in the non-staple food shop in front of her house. When a
phone call came, they would go to the house and call someone to answer the
phone. If you want to collect money, answer the phone for 50 cents, and make a
call for one minute.
"Hongyan, can you come out today?"
"Can." Since she didn't show up on the date last
week, they haven't seen each other for many days. She was inconvenient in the
first few days, but Licheng said he was busy and didn't have time these days.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the intersection at 6:30."
Just after eating, they can walk for a walk to digest food.
Wang Licheng packed a few sanitary napkins brought by the
salesman in a cloth bag, and took a bag of brown sugar.
"You are busy at the non-staple food shop these days.
Is it something?
She thought that her repeated shirk made him angry. She was
embarrassed to say that it was not convenient for her to come out. People come
to investigate. I stayed with him for a few days. "The women's market is
better opened up by women. He is going to use a few sisters to see if he can
open a whole first. It would be even better if Xiao Hongyan could also help
him, so he didn't mind telling her.
"What product?”
"Is it still necessary to inspect the other party to
sell things?"
Xiao Hongyan returned home and opened the cloth bag, a
packet of brown sugar and several packets of something called sanitary napkins.
She read the instructions for using the sanitary napkins and blushed.
Brother Licheng said that a good product would not be this
package of sanitary napkins! Brown sugar is sold everywhere, just think of the
role of brown sugar and sanitary napkins. Ashamed.
How could he have thought of selling things for women?
A Future Sneak Peek
"Hongyan, you'll be fine tomorrow! Why don't we go to see your daughter?"
"Wang Licheng, can you not be like a daughter?"
They only went there half a month ago. My daughter is not studying in
Jiangcheng. That is the capital. It takes five hours by high-speed rail and two
hours by plane, not including check-in time.
Every time I go, it takes a day just by car.
It's not that she doesn't want to see her daughter, she's
really tired. After finally waiting until the weekend, she wanted to rest at
home.
But Wang Licheng, seeing that she had nothing to do at home,
urged her to go to the capital to see her daughter.
My daughter needs to learn to be independent. That's why she
encourages her daughter to take a postgraduate entrance exam at Capital
University.
There is another point she does not deny, she is jealous and
eats her daughter's jealousy.
When she was born, Wang Licheng didn't come to see her for
the first time, but went to hug their daughter first.
If Wang Licheng and his family prioritized sons over
daughters, and when they heard that they had given birth to a son, they went to
see them, so she might understand it a little easier. But she gave birth to a
daughter.
She kept this matter in her mind and felt very aggrieved.
Back then, she confessed to Wang Licheng first because she
liked Wang Licheng.
When she was studying, the junior high school and high
school were together. The third brother likes to play basketball. She saw Wang
Licheng for the first time when she secretly watched the third brother play
basketball.
Wang Licheng was already 175 cm old at that time. He played
basketball well, and he was handsome and good-looking. At that time, she was
attracted to him.
Later, she often secretly watched them play basketball.
During that time, when I got home, I would pester my third brother and ask him
to tell her about their senior year.
At that time, she knew that his name was Wang Licheng, and
he was a good friend of the third brother.
Since his daughter was born, Wang Licheng has done almost
all of his daughter's affairs himself, except for breastfeeding, he has never
fought.
Wang Licheng is not a domineering person, but when he treats
his daughter, he will appear very domineering and tough.
When his daughter was just born, he directly called her
daughter "XiXi" and said that his daughter was called Wang Xi. He
didn't ask anyone, and he didn't even tell her in advance. That's how his
daughter's name was set.
It hurts.
Wang Licheng is busy with business, and so is her work. The
daughter is usually brought by the mother-in-law. But no matter how busy or
tired he came back late, the first thing he did when he got home would be to
see his daughter.
He started with his daughter going to kindergarten. The
kindergarten was chosen by him. There was no need to choose elementary school,
middle school, or high school. There was only one best school.
In the parent-teacher meeting from childhood to adulthood,
unless he can't come back from other places, it must be him.
When the daughter of the college entrance examination filled
out the volunteer application, she thought that Wang Licheng would definitely
intervene this time, but he asked her to fill in the application herself without
giving her any advice.
Later, her daughter was admitted to Jiangda University in
Jiangcheng, and she saw Wang Licheng secretly wipe away her tears.
She thought that Wang Licheng didn't interfere with her
daughter's application for university because he had changed, and wanted her
daughter to learn to be independent and have the ability to distinguish
herself.
On the first Saturday of school, Wang Licheng got up early
in the morning and drove her to Jiangcheng. She thought Wang Licheng took her
to Jiangcheng for shopping. The fact is that he drove the car directly into
Jiangda, although after leaving Jiangda, Wang Licheng did take her shopping,
and bought her a bunch of clothes and cosmetics.
His daughter studied in Jiangcheng for four years. During
these four years, Wang Licheng went to the school to see his daughter almost
twice a month. Every time I bring a bunch of food and drink to wear and use.
When his daughter was a freshman to a junior, he would buy a
bunch of skin care products for his daughter. When he is a senior, he will buy
a lot of cosmetics.
Fortunately, my daughter asked for her opinion when she was
studying. She feels the capital has the best universities and the best majors
in the country.
Sometimes she would wonder if Wang Licheng was kind to her
because she gave Wang Licheng this daughter.
"Okay, don't go if you don't go, don't be angry."
"Well, you are not allowed to go secretly either."
Wang Licheng had a precedent, and she was still a little worried.
"If we don't go, we won't go, or we will go to Hongshi
for two days. There is a new hot spring project developed there. Let's go and
play."
He found that Hong Yan had a bit of a temper recently, and
he hadn't heard of any problems at work. Maybe it was because he was in a bad
mood. It would be nice to take her out for fun.
"I don't want to go; I don't want to take the
car." I've been feeling a little tired and irritable recently. There was
nothing wrong with her work, and Wang Licheng didn't make her angry. She didn't
know what was wrong with herself.
"I drove that off-road vehicle, put the passenger seat
down, you lie down and sleep, I drive steadily, and I can be there in an
hour."
He sat behind her and massaged her shoulders and neck.
"Well."
She was packing upstairs while Wang Licheng drove to the
store.
They now live in the old house of Wang Licheng's family. A
few years ago, he bought the old house and land of the uncle and uncle's
family. I built a villa myself, my mother-in-law and nanny live downstairs, and
they live on the second floor.
Xiao Hongyan is now working in Jiangcheng. They live in
Jiangcheng from Monday to Friday, and they return to Pucheng on Friday night or
Saturday morning. The mother-in-law is old, and they don't want to regret it in
the future. Pucheng's home is their real home.
The store that I bought the first time in the past is now a
parking lot. The toilet and kitchen at the back of the store were knocked out,
and the former turnstile was replaced with an electric door.
The store is not far from home, and it is convenient to pick
up a car in the past.
When Xiao Hongyan came out with her bag and bag, Wang
Licheng had already adjusted the seat to the lowest position and put a blanket
on the seat.
They have been arguing all these years together.
Fortunately, she loves Wang Licheng, and Wang Licheng is also very kind to her.
She used to have the idea of not going. Fortunately, they persevered.
Isn't that what life is like? How can there be so many
smooth sailings.
When Xiao Hongyan woke up, the car was parked.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" She's really been
wrong recently. She didn't have her period last month. Could it be that she's
entering menopause so soon?
He still looks so young, and his current hairstyle was done
just last week, which is the favorite hairstyle of Xiao Xianrou nowadays.
Wang Licheng has been catching up with her in changing
hairstyles in recent years. Clothes also follow fashion trends.
"Seeing how fast you are sleeping, I can't bear it.
We'll get off the bus when we wake up!"
"Are you busy recently?" She didn't work overtime
recently, didn't sleep late, and didn't listen to her mentioning her work. Why
is it so abnormal.
"No, it's just that I didn't sleep well." She had
just given birth to her mother in a hotel room, and her current condition is
very similar to menopausal syndrome.
"Can't sleep?" He didn't know, and he slept later
than her every day.
"What kind of eyes do you have? You sleep like a pig at
night, and you can't wake up when you cry." In fact, she slept well at
night, but she couldn't see his suspicious eyes. Besides, she said this to make
him care more about her. Don't be a daughter all day long. Is it his fault for
good sleep quality? After that incident, he seldom dreamed, he slept better,
and his mental pressure was even greater, if it wasn't for his daughter...
"Well, it's all my fault, if you can't sleep at night,
just push me to wake up, and I'll accompany you."
He had done wrong before and imposed what he thought on her.
Fortunately, it's still too late, but for his daughter, he
can't let it, and he doesn't want it.
"Come on! You still use this kind of words to coax me,
and don't look at how old we are." She is 46 this year, and time flies by
so fast.
"What's wrong with getting old, so people are not
allowed to tell the truth?" Besides, he was not yet 50 and in his prime.
"You're telling the truth? You haven't told anyone for
a long time, so ask me to practice yes!" She had never seen a man who was
nearly 50 years old and liked to dress up so much, except for celebrities, of
course.
Over the years, he has never been out late, she is not busy
at work now, and she has not given him the opportunity to go out and steal at
home alone.
She also asked her daughter, and his father was not unusual.
The few times he went to see his daughter alone, their father and daughter
lived in their Jiangcheng home.
She did not alienate her daughter because of her jealousy.
Their relationship has always been good, especially in recent years. In any
case, Xixi is a piece of meat that fell from her body.
If Wang Licheng cares most about her daughter's life, she
cares about her daughter's psychology the most.
She had always been afraid that Wang Licheng's favor would
harm her daughter, but fortunately her daughter did not grow crooked.
When I was a child, my daughter was quite afraid of her,
which may have something to do with her job and her image of a strict mother.
She also wanted to be a loving mother. Wang Licheng was so unreliable;
she could only take on the role of strict mother.
My daughter began to get close to her from the time she
filled out the application for the college entrance examination.
He didn't know what Wang Licheng was thinking. Usually he
would ask about the big things, but he really didn't care about such a big
thing as his daughter reported her volunteer.
Speaking of which, her daughter was pushed to her by Wang
Licheng. After that time, the contact between them became more and more
frequent, and her daughter would tell her about everything. In order to avoid
Wang Licheng's jealousy, they all contacted when Wang Licheng was away.
"Why did you bring that up again? It's all a
misunderstanding. Wife, why don't you believe me? I have only one woman in my
life. I only love you, both physically and mentally." Why does she always
like to hold He didn't dare to touch women alone all these years.
She would say to him, why she didn’t say that she had so
many suitors, every time he pretended to be extra generous and didn't care.
It's not that she is afraid that she will say that she is like a woman with a
small heart.
He thinks he is not bad! A successful businessman, handsome
and handsome, why would someone say that he is not worthy of her?
Besides, after so many years, even if he is really unworthy,
she, Xiao Hongyan, is also his wife and the mother of his children.
"Then tell me, you don't usually do anything, why do
you dress up like a star every day." She was really fed up, and she felt
uncomfortable if she didn't ask.
"Isn't this to be a good match for you? I don't want
the two of us to go out together and be told that we are father and
daughter."
His hair was white a few years before she knew it, and he
has been using black hair products for so many years. You also need to dye your
hair from time to time.
She just took office at that time, she was busy with work,
and they had few opportunities to meet, so she didn't notice her abnormality.
In fact, his hair turned white overnight.
She knew that he used to dye his hair because he had more
gray hair. In recent years, he not only dyed his hair, but also had his hair
done frequently.
"It's not good for your body to keep your hair going.
Don't do it anymore. It's white when it's white. I don't mind. Besides, we're
not young anymore, so why do we care so much!"
WAIT A MINUTE! Sorry I'm a bit confused here......
