20. Chapter XX
"Huizhen, why don't you look so happy, we have earned so much money." Lin Hui looked at the ocean on the table with shining. "These oceans, do you put them away, or save them at home, I think it's good to store them, and it's not safe to put them at home."
"This money has to be kept as capital, and I don't save it." Ruan Huizhen was a little absent-minded.
More than 50 oceans, after giving Lin Hui 20%, there are only about 40 oceans in hand. Think about other people's business, thousands of oceans a month, compared to yourself, it is too weak.
As a once successful woman, the achievement at this time really made it difficult for her to be excited. But come to think of it, it's a good thing to have progress.
Ruan Huizhen feels that her business has to continue to grow, in addition to the provincial capital, but also to find opportunities to sell to other cities, for this kind of product with low profits, small profits and quick sales is the best way. Of course, before that, you still have to eat the meat of the provincial capital thoroughly.
Because she made money, Lin Hui cooked a few good dishes at home. Her craftsmanship is good, and the dishes she makes are not worse than those in the restaurant. Xiaohui was very happy to eat, "Sister Huizhen, Mom, I'm fine at school now." The teacher said I was smart. ”
Lin Hui was pleasantly surprised, "Really, can you keep up with your studies?" ”
"Well, I did better than them in this exam. The teacher said that I had made a lot of progress. Xiaohui said with some pride.
Ruan Huizhen gave him a dish, "Then reward you for eating more and continue to work hard in the future." When you get in the top three in the class in the final exam, I'll buy you a gift. ”
Xiaohui's eyes lit up, and he said confidently, "I will definitely be able to take the first place." He looked at Lin Hui again, "Mom said, my dad studied very well and stayed in school, so I want to be as capable as my father." ”
Hearing the child talk about his father, Lin Hui felt a pain in her heart. The eyes of joy also dimmed.
The man had been gone for a few years and had not been heard from at all. She didn't even know if he was dead or alive.
Ruan Huizhen saw Lin Hui like this and asked, "You didn't think about going over to find Xiaohui's father?" ”
Lin Hui sighed, "I have been in poor health before, and I can't go far away. And Shanghai is so big, I don't know if he's still in Shanghai. When Xiaohui's father left, he told me and asked me to wait at home for him to come back. I'm also worried that we'll leave here and miss out with him. ”
For Xiaohui's father, Ruan Huizhen felt that it should be unreliable. Unless this man is dead, he must have changed his mind. Otherwise, a large number of living people have not shown up for six years, which is definitely a problem.
However, there has been no news from the private investigator before, and I don't know what the details are.
Xiaohui saw that his mother was sad because he mentioned his father, so he hurriedly hugged Lin Hui, "Mom, I'm sorry, I won't mention my father again in the future." I'll study hard. ”
Lin Hui's eyes were red, and she hugged her child tightly, "Xiaohui, Xiaohui." ”
Seeing Lin Hui holding the child, Ruan Huizhen also lowered her head and sighed slightly.
Speaking of which, Lin Hui still has a blood relative, and she has nothing. As for the younger brother who doesn't know life and death, there is no hope.
Although it affected the mood, several people quickly cheered up and prepared for next month's sales.
This month's sales are very good, so those agents are happy to help sell the goods, and even offer to increase the volume. Ruan Huizhen and Lin Hui naturally readily agreed. The vinegar stuff was handed over to Lin Hui, and Ruan Huizhen began to advertise for her own vinegar.
At this time, there was no advertising popular, so Ruan Huizhen found a newspaper in the provincial city and asked someone to write a manuscript. The content is mainly to praise the century-old history of auspicious vinegar, and praise the skills of today's vinegar workshop to improve. The vinegar is stored in various containers to ensure the purity of the taste. And I also took a few beautiful photos of my own goods and covered them in the newspaper.
In these days, newspapers are the only way for ordinary people to be entertained, and Nguyen Hoi Tri believes that soon this report will spread throughout the provincial capital.
"Imperial vinegar? More than a hundred years of history? There is such a brand in our provincial capital, why don't I know. ”
A certain director of the Jiangnan provincial government looked at the newspaper and laughed.
"That's just nonsense."
A beautiful secretary said, "Do you need to stop it?" ”
"No, these are the people's small means, there is no need." The director threw the newspaper on the table and said with a smile, "It's just that the common people are quite smart now, and a small vinegar shop knows that the newspaper is used to promote it." This also gives us a warning that in the future, all newspapers should keep an eye on it and avoid some reactionary public opinion. ”
However, these are high-level people who can use guò propaganda to generate other ideas. Ordinary people began to know the brand of Jixiang Vinegar Fang.
Some people who have eaten it even saw that the vinegar used at home was in the newspaper, and they were a little proud, "Our vinegar is the royal vinegar, and I heard that it used to be tribute, so it was all in the newspaper." Although it is a little expensive, it is really worth it. This tastes much better than ordinary vinegar. ”
"The vinegar we also use at home is still the most expensive kind of porcelain bottle. After the vinegar is used up, it can be used as a vase, which is good. ”
With comparison, it naturally attracts more and more people's attention. Often one or two people around you pay attention, which will arouse the attention of more than a dozen people.
There are many middle-income families in the provincial capital, and they don't care about the copper dollar when they buy things. And I bought a bottle of vinegar that can be used for a long time, so I slowly began to try this kind of old vinegar that was praised at length in the newspaper.
At this time, the brand effect is also slowly coming out. There was also a reaction in the heart. After many people use vinegar, they subconsciously feel that this vinegar is indeed better than others. I also accepted this auspicious old vinegar.
The newspaper campaign had an effect beyond Nguyen's budget.
In the first week, more than 3,000 bottles of vinegar have already been sold. Starting in the second week, another 5,000 bottles of vinegar were sold. And sales continue to increase.
The hot sales made Lin Hui too busy to keep her feet on the ground. As soon as the two of them were combined, three more people were invited. But the home is so big, in order to meet the future supply. Ruan Huizhen began to discuss opening a vinegar factory.
"It costs a lot of money to open a factory."
Lin Hui was settling accounts with an abacus. Although I have made a lot of money recently, it is not the same as before. But if you really want to open a factory, it will cost a lot of money.
"It doesn't take much money, and I recently heard that many factories have closed down under the blow of foreign goods. Some of the factories are not big, so we can rent or buy them. You see that the vinegar in the vinegar factory is selling so fast now, and this is only in the provincial capital, what if it is in the future? We must prepare in advance, and if we want to develop abroad in the future, we will also have the confidence. ”
Lin Hui is not very proficient in doing business. Listening to what Ruan Huizhen said, he no longer objected, "You are in charge of these things, and I will do what you say." Anyway, I can grasp the vinegar stuff. ”
Ruan Huizhen nodded, "Okay, after the goods are delivered this week, I will go to see the factory." ”
Although there are many factories, there are too few options for Ruan Huizhen's current strength.
The large factory buildings cannot afford to rent, and the small factories directly want to sell. Ruan Huizhen has some money in her hand, and it may be enough to buy a small factory, but she doesn't want to invest so much at once. It would be unwise to put all the capital in one basket.
And the point is that she can't even find those who are in charge now. She is the owner of a small vinegar factory, and people are bankrupt, and they don't look down on a little person like her.
After a few days of fruitlessness, Ruan Huizhen remembered someone.
Speaking of which, I haven't met Huo Cheng again for a long time. She didn't want to get help so soon. But now is the turning point of his career, and he can only be cheeky and open. Anyway, he just inquired and didn't let him help directly.
Ruan Huizhen comforted herself, and went directly to the provincial capital to patrol the house.
At this time, it is already the height of summer love, and the sun is big outside. Ruan Huizhen's hair is ear-length short, and it looks very refreshing. The short-sleeved cheongsam sets off the slender figure.
Although she is not as beautiful as Lin Hui's facial features, her delicate face and fair skin add a lot of color to her. Coupled with his own quiet temperament, walking on the road has also begun to attract people.
Ruan Huizhen didn't pay attention to the rate of turning back now, she walked with an umbrella, thinking about how to talk to Huo Cheng about it when the time came.
Although the relationship between the two was vague last time, they could be regarded as friends. But I haven't seen her for a long time, maybe people don't remember her as a friend anymore.
Ruan Huizhen touched her face, and secretly said that she was good enough to be thick-skinned. At that time, if Huo Cheng doesn't remember her, she can just say some good things by herself.
In the patrol room, in a dark cell. A man dressed in sackcloth was tied to a pillar. Because there are too many wounds on the body, I can't tell the color of the clothes.
A fat man took the whip and whipped it a few times, and the man snorted a few times and begged for mercy.
"To say or not to say, where have all those people gone?"
"I really don't know." The man who was tied cried.
The fat man said, "I don't know? Hmph, then let's practice again. He was about to whip, Huo Cheng, who had been sitting next to him, stood up, he was half-open at the moment, and his face was full of uninhibited expression, "Okay three fat, don't play people to death, it's still useful." ”
"Boss, he doesn't say anything." The fat man has a simple personality, and he only wants to use torture to extract a confession, and he is a little powerless at the moment.
Huo Cheng hooked his lips, squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the half-dead man who was beaten, "Hard mouth, then don't want this mouth." Anyway, the news that he is not dead will always get out, and then he can attract a few more comrades to come. ”
As he spoke, he picked up a dagger in his hand and walked over to the man.
The tied one's eyes widened suddenly, "What do you want to do, I, I really don't know anything." I'm just an unimportant person, and it's useless for you to kill me. ”
"If I don't kill you, it's still useful to keep your life." Huo Cheng walked over and pinched his chin, and the man's mouth was forced to open.
"Where to start, cut off the skin of the mouth first, or just stab it with a knife."
The man was sweating with fright. He could see that this man was not joking. He can really do it.
Even the three fats next to him swallowed their saliva.
Although I did this business, I didn't do a lot of murder or beating, but ...... He really rarely used such a bloody thing. It's really affecting my appetite.
"Boss, shall I go out first?" Sanfat asked.
Huo Cheng smiled, "Okay, let Xiao Hei come in, get the big yellow dog in the yard, there will be meat to eat today." It's still hot. ”
The third fat was a little disgusted when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll go right away." After saying that, he hurried outside.
When I opened the door, I bumped into the person who was about to enter the door.
"Ouch, what's the hurry?" Chen Xiaohei wiped his head and scolded.
The third fat said angrily, "I also asked you, what are you doing here?" ”
Chen Xiaohei didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly pushed him away, "Go away, go away, I'm here to find the leader." He hurriedly ran to Huo Cheng with his waist and fart.
"Boss, someone is looking for you."
Huo Cheng was studying how to use the knife, and when he heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Who, didn't you see that I was doing something?" ”
"Head, it's what you ordered last time, it's the Ruan shopkeeper."
When Huo Cheng heard this, his eyes lit up, his hand was closed, and the dagger was also put away. He let go of the man who was already scared to pee, "You're in luck today." ”
He turned around and smiled, reached out and buttoned his clothes, then straightened out the epaulettes, and put his hat back on in a proper manner. The whole image of an upright patrol captain.
