(Bow and thank you for the monthly pass support of "Don't cheat Dad"!)
On February 7, Zhou Ming took the train back to Linyang, Yuan Zhigang followed Zhou Ming off the train, Zhou Ming stretched his waist and said that he was finally back, Yuan Zhigang followed Zhou Ming, although he had returned to Linyang, he still felt a little living in a dream.

However, it is normal for Yuan Zhigang to have such feelings, you must know that he was only the director of the sales office of a small county factory ten days ago, and there was no administrative sequence at all, and for this small cadre position, he was brought up by a mutation in the factory, in fact, he was not much taller than ordinary people.
However, this time he followed Zhou Ming out, first met the executive vice governor of Lingnan in Nanjiang City, then met Cao Shuai's son in Baiyun City, and finally met the secretary of the chairman of the Military Commission in Binhai.
This every leader is as far away as the stars in the sky in his heart, but now he is sitting at the same table with him to eat, which is simply unbelievable.
Walking out of the station, Su Han picked up Zhou Ming at the door, and there was another car from the factory on the other side to pick up Yuan Zhigang, Zhou Ming first told him to digest the results of his business trip, keep in touch with that side, and then let him go back first.
And Zhou Ming and Su Han came to the department store in the city, because their parents are now buying New Year's goods here.
Coming to the gate of the mall, looking at the crowded flow of people coming and going at the door, Zhou Ming sighed: "There are really too many people who come to the market to catch up with the market during the New Year's Festival. ”
In this era, because the business is not as developed as in later generations, many things can not be bought in the towns and towns below, and can only be bought in the city and county, so there will be many people in the county and the market in the city during the New Year's Festival, especially during the New Year, everyone is in a hurry to buy New Year's goods during this time, and the scale of the market in this era is very small, so the population density of the market at this time is basically about the same as the tourism Golden Week in later generations.
It is impossible for so many people to find their parents, but fortunately, Zhou Ming equipped his parents with a pager, and Zhou Ming looked for a phone at the door to page, and waited at the door.
"Zhou Ming, didn't you plan that it would take about three or four days to get things done, and now it's all arranged?" Su Han asked.
Zhou Ming nodded and said: "Originally, when I came back from Binhai, I was still going to go to Tanzhou, the capital of our Jingchu Province, but later I heard Du Peng say that Governor Xiong was going back to the Central Committee to report on his work, and he directly asked his secretary to handle my affairs in advance, so I bought a ticket and came back." ”
After Zhou Ming finished speaking, he asked Su Han: "During the time I left, nothing happened in the factory, right?"
Su Han shook his head and said no, this is normal, the 760 factory may not be large, but it is also a factory with all kinds of rules, plus through a series of things in Cai Zhongxian and the Xiling Canning Factory behind, the prestige he has established in the factory, there is generally no accident and nothing can happen.
Then Zhou Ming asked again: "What about the production of eight-treasure porridge?"
"Uncle Wang's employees at the Xiling Canning Factory worked very hard, so the production of Babao porridge was overfulfilled. Su Han said and said with some concern, "But if we produce so much at once, will there be a problem?"
"Xiaohan, are you afraid that the eight-treasure porridge we produce now will not be sold, and it will be wasted?" Zhou Ming said.
"After all, Zhou Ming, the communication between you and the supply and marketing cooperatives in the county was not smooth, the road in other provinces was too far, the traffic was very inconvenient, and we couldn't grasp many things, so we couldn't think about one more step!" Su Han said.
"Xiaohan, your worries are very correct, but you forgot what I told you, my communication in other provinces and over there is very smooth?
Su Han wanted to say something, but Zhou Ming suddenly asked her: "Is it that after I leave, that Yan fat man from Weihui Supply and Marketing Cooperatives will be difficult for you again?"
Su Han replied, "Yes, he paged me yesterday and said that our eight-treasure porridge was selling badly at their place, and asked us to give him a little more discount and rebate. ”
"It's really not enough to swallow elephants," Zhou Ming said, "Let him go, as long as we can pass this Spring Festival, our eight-treasure porridge will not be sold." ”
Zhou Ming said this, and saw his parents squeezing out of the mall with big bags and small bags, Zhou Ming saw his parents come out and immediately went up with Su Han to take over the New Year's goods in his parents' hands, looking at his sweaty parents, Zhou Ming said with concern: "Mom, Dad, why don't you wait for me to come back and buy it together?"
Mother Wang Fengqin said with a smile: "Isn't that boring waiting at the station, and your father and I rarely come to the city once, and it's almost the New Year, so take this opportunity to buy a little more and go back, so you don't have to come to the city again!"
In the face of his parents' explanation, Zhou Ming had no choice, so he had to help his parents throw the New Year's goods back to the car first, Zhou Ming drove his parents to the electrical store, Wang Fengqin didn't know why: "Zhou Ming, do you want to buy any electrical appliances?"
"Buy a big color TV and a big refrigerator to go home. Zhou Ming said, "It just so happens that our factory's eight-treasure porridge has made an exclusive title for the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and you can watch the Spring Festival Gala at home with a color TV." ”
As soon as she heard that Zhou Ming wanted to buy a color TV, Wang Fengqin hurriedly shook her head: "I heard that this color TV is expensive, it costs thousands of yuan, right?
It is said that parents understand their children, but how can children not understand their parents?
Zhou Ming also understands why Wang Fengqin said this, it is undoubtedly a thrifty habit, in Zhou Ming's memory, even after more than 20 years, as long as she spends an extra dollar, her mother will feel distressed for a long time, not to mention that the conditions are very bad now. Even if he is now a multimillionaire, his parents' first instinct is to save and not spend a penny.
So Zhou Ming said to Wang Fengqin: "Mom, it's different from before, I'm rich, and we're still the boss of Factory 760, we want to watch the Spring Festival Gala, it's not good to go with other ordinary workers to grab TV to watch, right?
After Zhou Ming said this, Wang Fengqin reacted and reluctantly agreed: "Okay, but just buy a cheap one, I and your father don't watch it at home." ”
Zhou Ming nodded and said yes, but Zhou Ming was giving his mother a white lie this time, because in the end, Zhou Ming still bought the best and most expensive big color TV for his family.
After returning to the factory after shopping, Zhou Ming moved the color TV to his home and watched TV with his parents for a day.
At this time, the most popular TV has nothing else but Journey to the West, after all, this era is still an era of extreme lack of entertainment, Journey to the West is not only special effects but also the kind of fairy and demon plot, which is very attractive, so this TV series has been immediately popular all over the land of China since its release during the Spring Festival in 86, so much so that CCTV has to broadcast it once a year during the Spring Festival, and this habit has continued for more than ten years.
The next day, Zhou Ming went to the factory to hold a meeting of all cadres, first conveyed the results of his business trip for half a month, and asked the Babao porridge workshop to work overtime to produce Babao porridge, ready to supply all parts of the country. This was followed by the processing of metal parts, which was an additional surprise for Zhou Ming and Cao Jianning in Baiyun City.
Zhou Ming knew that a German factory was going to be relocated to Baiyun City, which was run by Cao Jianning, and Cao Jianning said that he could contract part of the production tasks to Factory 760.
This news made Zhou Ming overjoyed, because after all, the 760 factory is a gold factory, and all the factory employees are mechanical workers, and the workers of the Xiling canning factory are the same, they have no other skills except for driving the lathe, although the production of eight-treasure porridge is a good transformation, but can not give up the original workers, now with the surprise from Cao Jianning, then this problem can be solved very well.
At the end of the meeting, Zhou Ming also discussed with everyone the Spring Festival holiday and duty issues.
At the end of the meeting, Zhou Ming called Yan Fuping, the boss of Weihui Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and Yan Fuping quickly called back, and Zhou Ming had time to say hello to him on the phone, and Yan Fuping complained: " Boss Zhou, you can be counted as back, I can tell you, your eight-treasure porridge is very difficult to sell in the stores below, no one comes to buy this thing at all, and now those stores have to return it, I have to persuade them to calm down, you see if you want to pay more money, I have to talk to the person in charge of these stores, otherwise it will be difficult to do!"
Facing Yan Fuping's complaints, Zhou Ming sneered in his heart: What is not good to sell, I'm afraid you want to take the opportunity to extort more money!
Thinking so, Zhou Ming said to him: "Boss Yan, please believe me, no matter what difficulties there are now, they must be temporary, as long as this Spring Festival is over, the eight-treasure porridge will definitely sell well!"
"I'm afraid that there won't even be a place to sell it. Yan Fuping said.
If Zhou Ming was still thinking about the local market in the past, then now after going around the country, Zhou Ming will see it, he only threw Yan Fuping a sentence of "please believe me", and then hung up the phone.
Nine days passed in a hurry, and soon the time came to the Chinese New Year's Eve, this night, Zhou Ming and his parents sat around the table at home to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, originally Su Han also wanted to spend the New Year at Zhou Ming's house, but Wang Fengqin thought that Su Han was not married now, and it was not good to stay in their house for the New Year, so he persuaded Su Han to go away and let her go back to her home for the New Year.
The Spring Festival Gala began at eight o'clock in the evening for more than 20 years, after an opening dance, several hosts came out, when they heard the host say Linyang Eight Treasure Porridge Spring Festival Gala, the parents' faces were a little surprised, and the mother Wang Fengqin said: "Zhou Ming, did you really hit the advertisement on CCTV?"
Zhou Ming nodded and said, "Yes, Mom and Dad, you forgot? Didn't I say it a long time ago?"
Wang Fengqin shook her head and said: "It's not that I forgot, it's just that after watching TV for so many years, I suddenly saw things in my own factory on TV, which felt very unreal." ”
"In fact, there is nothing special about the things on TV, they are all produced by small factories like us, you see those beer and health products before, maybe the factory is not as big as us! But they just dare to advertise on CCTV, their factory can become bigger, we just want to be like them, bigger and stronger!" Zhou Ming said, "As long as tonight is over, I believe there will be a boom in eight-treasure porridge in the future!"
