Since the end of the banquet, Fang Yi has basically entered the New Year's state, because he is about to go to Ma Rui's hometown in Ning Province for the New Year, so he needs to prepare all the work in advance before this, such as the New Year's goods that need to be brought home to his parents, Gifts, new clothes purchased for grandma, all the leaders in the city who are familiar with it need to pay New Year's greetings to the above, in the gifts for the leaders of the city, Fang Yi is particularly concerned, because he knows that ten years later, the entire Shudu officialdom will usher in a 12-level earthquake, he chose some significant but low economic value gifts, such as eggs, fresh river fish in the river, etc., fully carry forward the fine tradition of courtesy and friendship.

Starting from January 9th, Fang Yi took Zheng Rongjun and Zhou Jin to start issuing gift lists for each brother unit, cooperative unit and competent department, which will be transferred to Mishi by their trading company to purchase from suppliers through the supply chain after the summary of these gift lists, in order to maintain the status of the supply chain, Fang Yi will not miss any opportunity to promote it.

On January 15th, Mi Shi personally came to hand over the gifts and reported the recent work to Fang Yi, Mi Shi said, "Mr. Fang, I am ready for the gifts, and I will hand over with the Invalids in a while, some time ago you said that we are going to open up the supply chain, C shopping network, and Century Pass membership card this year, I have set up a project with Zhao Li, they are working overtime recently, I think that when we come back after the New Year, we can start to actually operate this work"

Fang Yi nodded, because Mi Shi is the older of the entire management team in terms of age, so Fang Yi still recognizes her work ability and execution very much, and her peers have not disappointed Fang Yi after entering the company from Mi Shi, and said, "Mr. Mi, your entire trading company, supply chain, and Century Pass membership card are all for C shopping network services, and I will fine-tune after the New Year, Century Pass membership card will be renamed Century Pay, trading company, Before July 1 this year, our C shopping network needs to open a full range of marketing, and the entire product line will include people's clothing, food, housing and transportation, do you have this confidence?"

Mi Shi asked with some hesitation: "Mr. Fang, if you want to do all categories, I think we can rely on our own management, I think we can't do it, if we insist on doing it, it will lead to a single product brand due to various restrictions, and it is impossible to form a feeling of having everything and choosing at will."

Fang Yi smiled and said, "I think you still haven't understood what I said earlier, we want to open up the supply chain with the C shopping network after the New Year, so that the merchants in our supply chain can directly publish their goods on the C shopping network, we only need to provide a trading platform, and they can trade by themselves."

Mi Shi nodded and said, "Mr. Fang, I have the bottom when you say this, and I will fully encourage suppliers to go to our C purchase to sell goods to make up for our lack of SKUs."

Fang Yi was a little worried after hearing this, afraid that Mi Shi would give up the grasp of the brand and brand authorization in order to expand the SKU, so as to embark on the old path of the Malaysian boss, and added, "Mr. Mi, although we allow our cooperative suppliers to directly sell goods to Cgou.com, we still need to improve various procedures, such as industry and commerce, Tax and other information, the most important of which is the brand authorization of the goods sold, only with the authorization of the holder of the brand trademark, the merchant can sell on the C shopping network, we must ensure that the goods sold are absolutely genuine"

Mi Shi carefully recorded what Xia Yi had just said in his notebook, and replied, "Okay, I will come down and establish a set of relevant management measures mainly for product quality."

Fang Yi looked at the full load of various New Year's goods and gifts, interspersed with two women and Zhu Chun, and the efficiency of the five people sorting together was also very slow.

Greeting a few people from afar, Fang Yi said, "Brother Zhu, I'm sorry for you, let you follow these chores, Rui Rui, have you prepared New Year's goods for Brother Zhu and the three of them?"

Ma Rui raised his head, wiped the sweat on his head and said, "You still need to say this, we are all ready, prepare these gifts today, and we can start sending them tomorrow, I think it should be able to be delivered in two days."

Fang Yi glanced at the gifts piled up like a hill, and said with a sigh, "Forget it, I'll send those leaders in the city tomorrow, and the rest of the relevant units and departments will let Brother Zhao and Brother Chun send them, Rui Rui, have we bought the gifts back to Ning Province?"

Ma Rui stretched out his finger and pointed to a bunch of things next to him and said, "That's all, this is a specialty of our Shudu, which cannot be bought in our Ning Province, and some other New Year's products will be purchased in Yincheng when the time comes, lest we bring them over from here."

Fang Yi felt that Ma Rui's arrangement was also very appropriate, nodded and said, "Okay, then arrange it like this, Du Jiang, when the time comes, you will go to Yincheng one day in advance, rent two cars locally, and then purchase all kinds of New Year's goods according to the list prepared by Rui Rui."

For this New Year, Fang Yi, Ma Rui and Cao Xia can be said to be very busy, Chinese people advocate etiquette, especially in this most important traditional festival, all kinds of etiquette need to be done thoughtfully, and there will be all kinds of accusations behind the slightest carelessness.

After entertaining all kinds of relationships and etiquette, on January 23, Fang Yi took Ma Rui back to Yincheng three times in advance, and Du Jiang took two cars full of New Year's goods to pick up at the airport, and then drove to Ma Rui's home on the outskirts of the city.

In a urban-rural junction called Xigang Town in Yincheng, under the guidance of Ma Rui, two cars stopped in front of a small courtyard door, Ma Rui opened the courtyard door with ease, and shouted inside, "Mom, Dad, are you here? I'm back?"

About half a minute later, two people with obvious Uygur blood walked out, grabbed Ma Rui is to look up and down, and after checking that Ma Rui was all right, he looked at Fang Yi who was carrying a gift next to him, as a person whose actual age was more than 36 years old, Fang Yi no longer had that kind of young nervousness in this situation, and shouted with a comfortable expression, "Happy New Year, uncle, aunt"

Ma Rui's father, Ma Zhihua, nodded and shook Fang Yi's hand, and said, "You are Xiao Fang, go and sit in the back room" For this kind of formal etiquette, it made Fang Yi a little unnatural, and beckoned to Zhu Chun, asking them to move all the things in the car.

Entering the back room, Ma Rui took Fang Yi to visit his home like a cheerful bird, where is the kitchen, where is his bedroom, where is the place where he reads and learns, and also introduced Fang Yi to a little bear that he grew up with since he was a child, Fang Yi saw Ma Rui's happy appearance, and also felt heartfelt joy, making him feel a little at home in this strange city.

After Du Jiang and Yu Hua moved their things into the house, they quit the house, they have their own jobs and positions to do, although Fang Yi is not in danger at all now, but as a person who has been engaged in a special task, they will always be nervous about the strings, and they are suspicious of every strangeness around them, if there is a little sign of danger, they need to be eliminated in the bud.

Ma Rui's father Ma Zhihua opened a small supermarket next to his home to maintain the consumption of the whole family, opening a supermarket at this time in 2001 is also a relatively advanced idea, Fang Yi looked at a small supermarket of only about 60 square meters, which is about the same size as the community convenience store in later generations, perhaps because of the Chinese New Year, it has always been crowded with people, and there are constantly customers coming in to buy goods.

In the evening, Ma Rui's mother prepared a large table of sumptuous dinner, and Ma Zhihua said, "Xiaofang, I saw two other people when I came just now, why don't you ask them to eat together?"

Fang Yi glanced at Zhu Chun, the latter nodded slightly, Fang Yi said, "Uncle Ma, those two are employees of my company, they have other things to do, and they have already left."

Ma Zhihua shook his head and said, "I thought they were also eating together at home, you see I asked her mother to cook so many dishes."

When Ma Rui heard this, she hurriedly stepped forward to help Fang Yi out of the siege, she hugged Ma Zhihua's neck and shook it and said coquettishly, "It's okay Dad, Fang Yi is very good at eating, he can wipe out all the food made by his mother."

Fang Yi was thundered by this way of breaking the siege, and felt that cold sweat was about to flow down, and then Ma Rui's father began to tell interesting stories about Ma Rui when he was a child, every child is the treasure of his parents, especially the little padded jacket of his daughter's father, he can remember every important moment of Ma Rui from childhood to adulthood, here Fang Yi felt a strong father-daughter relationship.

In the end, Ma Rui's father talked about the small supermarket he opened, he was very confident, he said that he was the first to open a supermarket in this town, and it was also the best business, Fang Yi asked, "Uncle Ma, have you ever thought about opening a store in Yincheng?"

Hearing Fang Yi's words, Ma Rui's mother said, "I also persuaded him to open a store in the city some time ago, so that the scale can be expanded a little more, but he is reluctant to this small shop, he is more emotional, and he is reluctant to the neighbors here, but" Ma Rui's mother was continuing to speak, Ma Zhihua reached out and patted him on the arm to stop her from continuing.

Fang Yi looked at Ma Rui's mother's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and was embarrassed to ask, so he changed the topic and said, "Uncle, you can open another store in the city, and you can hire professional personnel to manage it, and it won't delay things."

Ma Zhihua shook his head and smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I also had this kind of idea of Rui Rui's mother, but we are all older, and this store is enough for us to live and use Rui Rui's school, so I don't want to open a new store", from his words, Fang Yi found that it was not that Ma Zhihua didn't want to open a new store, he was too emotional, and he was reluctant to leave this place where he was born and raised.
