Chapter 39: the reason for anger

 

The leisurely days passed very quickly, and the Lantern Festival is coming soon. Wang Licheng will go to Jiangchengmen to open the door in person.

Chen Derong came to the store the day before the Lantern Festival. A person who was already very thin has lost weight after not seeing him for more than a month. He has no energy at all, and his eyes are all black.

"De Rong, what's wrong with you?" He looked like this, it seemed that something big happened at home.

"It's okay."

Ma Hongying gave him a son last month. For more than a month, he was tortured by Ma Hongying's mother and son and couldn't even sleep.

"Would you like to take a few more days off; the store is not busy at the beginning of the New Year."

"No need to rest, I can work now."

At home, his mother always asks him to take care of their mother and son, and finally waited until Ma Hongying gave birth to confinement. He didn't hurry back to work in the shop.

Both Wang Licheng and Mazi asked Chen Derong several times. When something went wrong at home, they were friends and would definitely help if they could, but Chen Derong didn't say anything.

Wang Licheng left on the day of the Lantern Festival, and Xiao Hongyan held onto his sleeve and did not let go.

"I'll be back the day after tomorrow at the most." He gently touched Xiao Hongyan's face and kissed her slightly pouty mouth.

"Well, you go! Hurry up!" Otherwise, she would be reluctant.

She was so happy these few days that she was about to forget the fact that Wang Licheng was going to Jiangcheng.

The first thing to do when I went to Jiangcheng was to install a phone. Luo Zhongyong contacted in advance, and Wang Licheng came to install it directly. For the rest of the time, Wang Licheng and Luo Zhongyong discussed the strategic deployment for the first half of this year.

"The production of candy can be reduced in the first half of the year." A few months ago, their main product was candy. After the New Year, there is no festival, and the weather is slowly getting warmer, and the sales of candy will definitely decrease a lot.

"Well, I think so too. Candy has the limitations of festivals and seasons. This year, I plan to focus on biscuits. Biscuits can be used as dry food, and there are no seasonal restrictions." Candy is not easy to store in summer, and there are fewer people who eat candy in summer. .

"This year is still in accordance with last year's model; don't you take the initiative to sell?" Last year they also borrowed the wind of the Spring Festival. As long as someone buys it, the product is launched.

During the Spring Festival, Liang Lixue came back to celebrate the New Year. After eating their Xinglong candies and biscuits, they said they tasted good and asked him for a lot; saying that they would take them to school. A few days ago, he deliberately came to the store and brought back some biscuits and candies.

"You also know my situation." He never ran sales, he was completely smeared, and he didn't know where to sell, not to mention there was a seven- or eight-month-old pregnant woman at home.

"The food you make tastes good, and there should be repeat customers. We should try the previous model for another month, and we can't say it again." His father knew that Wang Licheng gave him 10%, and his father asked him to work hard, and he also I think this is a good opportunity to practice.

When it comes to sales, Wang Licheng doesn't have experience and neither does Luo Zhongyong. They all have serious financial backgrounds and all they have learned is theoretical knowledge.

Wang Licheng may be a little better than Luo Zhongyong. He has done sales in Pucheng, and he is familiar with Pucheng. Throwing him in an unfamiliar place will do nothing.

He returned to Pucheng the day after the store opened, which was also the day Wang Licheng promised Xiao Hongyan to come back.

The workers in the factory also need to rearrange their jobs. There are now ten workers in the factory. When he was too busy in Jiangcheng, he asked his eldest brother-in-law to help him hire four more workers. They were laid-off workers from the eldest brother-in-law's food factory. They had all worked in the biscuit production line or the candy production line and were considered skilled workers.

Of the ten workers, two produce candy and the other eight produce biscuits. There was still a small amount of candy in stock last year, and the biscuit stock was basically gone.

In fact, the machine is fast in producing candy and biscuits, and the slowest is packaging. Biscuits and candies need to be manually packaged and sealed by a sealing machine.

As a friend of Chen Derong, Mazi had long felt that something was wrong with Chen Derong. He didn't tell Wang Licheng, but went to Chen Derong's house himself to see what happened in his house.

He heard the baby's cry outside Chen Derong's house, and he was sure he heard it right.

"Mazi, why are you here? Come in and sit!" Chen Derong's mother just came out of her son's daughter-in-law's room and was going to the well to fetch water to boil, when she saw Mazi standing outside her house.

Mazi was his son's good friend. She didn't come here once last year. She thought the two were in conflict.

"Auntie, you are in good health!" Mazi handed the non-staple food brought over to Chen Derong's mother.

In the past, they were idle and not doing their jobs; they didn't have this courtesy and they came empty-handed every time.

"Why are you being more polite? Mazi is in the room, I asked him to come out." Before the son married his wife, it was fine to let Mazi go in directly. Just now, her grandson cried, and her daughter-in-law was breastfeeding her grandson. She must not be like before.

Mazi stood at the door waiting for Chen Derong, without thinking much.

"Why are you here?" Could it be found? Impossible, he deliberately didn't tell Mazi, because he was afraid that after he found out, Wang Licheng and Xiao Hongyan would also know.

"My boss and I are both worried about you." He didn't say anything, and was still mysterious. He was curious and worried.

"Derong, I'm fine, let your friend come in and sit!" Chen's mother told Chen Derong that Mazi was coming and avoid Ma Hongying in the room. Knowing that it was her husband's friend, Ma Hongying had fed her son, tidied up her clothes, and invited Mazi to come in and sit down.

She thought that it would be bad for the guests to stand outside the door, but she didn't know how displeased Chen Derong was with her words.

"Who is she?" The young woman's voice came from Chen Derong's room, and Mazi was a little puzzled. How could there be a woman in Chen Derong's room, and invited him in as a master.

"Go ahead!" It seemed that he couldn't hide it. Find a way to coax him and tell him not to tell anyone, especially Wang Licheng and Xiao Hongyan.

Recently, Xiao Hongyan felt fetal movement, and sometimes it was quite violent. After Wang Licheng found out, she liked to put her hand on her belly to feel the movement of the child, and sometimes chatted with the child.    

"Little darling, I can hear you. It's your father who is talking to you."

The child speaks.

"Licheng, can he really hear us?"

"Yes, of course she can. The child has the same heart with her parents, especially with her mother. If you are in a bad mood, she will be unhappy."

In fact, he didn't know what to do. How to explain, everyone said that prenatal education is useful. Some expectant mothers will listen to piano music to their baby during pregnancy, and she should be able to hear the outside world.

"Whoever is in a bad mood, don't make me angry, I'm in a good mood every day." He even said that she was in a bad mood. If she was in a bad mood, it was Wang Licheng who made her angry.

"Yes, yes, you are in a good mood every day." She lost her temper yesterday and said that she was in a good mood every day.

Spring is here, and the weather is getting warmer. After dinner, Wang Licheng took Xiao Hongyan out for a walk to digest food.

On the side of the road, when they passed a big tree, Wang Licheng vaguely saw a man and woman kissing under the shadow of the tree.

He just glanced at the kissing man and woman. When Xiao Hongyan pulled him away, he paused for a second and didn't leave immediately. Just like that, Xiao Hongyan suddenly lost his temper and said that he would go back immediately.

He was just a little curious and sighed at the courage of the man and woman. They were standing on the side of the road, and there were pedestrians on the road.

On the way back, he talked to Xiao Hongyan, but Xiao Hongyan ignored him.

Wang Licheng really didn't know what he had done wrong, and what was worth Xiao Hongyan's anger and ignoring him.

When he went to bed at night, he put his hand on Xiao Hongyan's waist that no longer had a waist shape; Xiao Hongyan shook off his hand, and then got up and sat down.

Wang Licheng thought that Xiao Hongyan was going to get up and beat him. Although Xiao Hongyan had never beat him, she had not shaken off his hand either.

The psychology of pregnant women is too complicated for him to understand.

Xiao Hongyan sat up and didn't move. Wang Licheng was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he got up and helped her wrap the quilt.

Happiness came so suddenly, Xiao Hongyan actually kissed him, and rubbed her hands around him. After touching and kissing enough, she lay down and fell asleep happily. Wang Licheng was miserable, so he got up and went to the bathroom to comfort himself.

After learning that Xiao Hongyan was pregnant, he had not eaten meat. It was busy before. Later, I got used to not thinking about it and there is no desire.

Even in the few days of the New Year, he only dared to kiss, not even to touch, for fear of touching fire.

Last night, he only thought Xiao Hongyan was angry, and doing that was his punishment.

It rained last year, and the muddy road in Liu Wan was still fresh in Wang Licheng's memory. Everyone was not busy at the beginning of the year. He wanted to repair the road in Liu Wan, and told his uncle about this idea.

The village Chief Liu Wan also wanted to build the road, but the village had no money to do it. When Wang Licheng set up a factory in Liuwan, he didn't agree, but he couldn't hold back that the place belonged to his uncle. It didn't count. They even got the approval from the city. What could he do?

This time, I heard that Wang Licheng would pay for the road construction. He offered to pay for it in the artificial village, and Wang Licheng only provided the materials for the road construction.

What Wang Licheng wants to build is the road leading to the city, a mud road about four meters wide and fifty meters long.

People in Wanli use this road to go to the city every time, and once the road is repaired, it is convenient for all people in Wanzi.

Even though the road is not long, it cost Wang Licheng 6,000 Yuan just to buy the materials, and he also bought some more materials on purpose. Thinking that the road was repaired, there would be extra materials to repair the road between the back door of the uncle's house and the factory building.

There is no way to drive into the warehouse directly. The entrance is a path about two meters wide. Even if it is repaired, cars cannot enter.

He has repaired the path and can use a small trailer or tricycle to transport goods, and he no longer has to be afraid of the muddy road when it rains.

After the beginning of the New Year, the telephone was installed first and then the road was repaired. Last year, the food factory used almost all the money it made.

Since the establishment of the factory, Wang Licheng has often felt that he has no money. He has not bought a small truck to transport the goods. There is no working capital in the factory. Fortunately, a lot of raw materials have been imported before.

The sales of Jiangcheng Biscuits are not bad. The store has only been open for half a month. Luo Zhongyong has already signed two prefecture-level general distributors. He also asked for 60,000 items, 50,000 biscuits, and 10,000 candies in one go.

This also caused Wang Licheng to buy a lot of goods at one time.

Biscuits are much more profitable than candies. Although biscuits sold a lot less than candies a last year, they actually made more money than candies.

The prices of biscuits and candies are based on the prevailing prices on the market, not based on cost. If it is based on cost, the loss of the machine should also be added, which is not easy to calculate. And he also thinks that it is best to make more money and sell less.

Therefore, he did not calculate the cost of some products in great detail, and the pricing was more arbitrary.

Now the factory is small, and everything is under his control. He has a lot of things to do, and he has to do everything himself. No amount of time is enough, and there are many things that he can't take care of.

He wants to be bigger and find a few more people to help him manage and share his work.

The store in Jiangcheng can be handed over to Luo Zhongyong. In terms of transportation, he prefers his eldest brother-in-law.

But I have to wait for a car, and my brother-in-law still has a job.
