52. Obstruction of the opening of the business
52
Xiao Zhen's new company is called the People's Life Service Company, Xiao Zhen didn't plan to give it any name, he wanted to write a little business scope, people just know what to do, what to name!
I have to say that the people don't have any brand concept now, and there are few people doing business in recent years.
But since discussing this matter with Xiao Yan, he has learned the importance of signboards, yes, in his understanding that this is a signboard.
So, he racked his brains and didn't know how many brain cells died, and finally came up with such a good name, which is both down-to-earth and lets people know what it does, how good.
Xiao Yan also thinks it's good, it's good at a glance.
On the opening day, the whole family went out, Xiao Zhen didn't think about any ceremony, just open the door and do business! But in order to let people know, I still bought a few firecrackers, and Xiaohui likes to do firecrackers.
The firecrackers were laid at the door, and Xiaohui covered his ears and ran away after ordering the introduction, and there was a crackling sound, and many people immediately surrounded him.
After all, there were few shops to do business in these years, so everyone came to see the excitement, which was different from the situation in later generations where almost all the streets were full of storefronts.
The signboard is a large wooden sign, one side is the words 'People's Life Service Company', and the other side is written the business scope, moving, sewers, electrical appliances, gas, breakfast milk and so on.
When the onlookers saw the business scope, they began to ask, "Life service?" There's so much to do! Hey? This is also considered to be a gas delivery, I can just pull a can directly at the gas station, and I also need to spend money to ask someone to send it! β
Xiao Zhen explained with a smile, "This big brother, we only charge money for gas, not for delivery, and the price is the same as that of the gas station." β
"That's a good feeling, is your gas the same as the gas station?" After receiving a positive answer, the person immediately decided that in the future, his gas would be delivered by someone from the life service company, and this person lived quite close, so when he would come to sue him.
Others asked, "What is this breakfast milk?" β
"It's milk! Ha ha! This time, before Xiao Zhen explained, someone answered for him.
The crowd laughed along with 'haha', and they didn't know it.
The person who asked also knew that his question was a little stupid, and he blushed and continued, "What are you laughing at, I asked clearly, if you send me to order some for my son, he is going to take the high school entrance exam recently, and he needs nutrition!" β
"Tube delivery, tube delivery, all our business here can be β‘β‘, now there are only these kinds, and we will increase the corresponding services according to people's needs in the future."
Xiao Zhen introduced the head of the road, not stage fright at all, although he used to do wood work when he was immersed in work, but he also often dealt with people, and these days he walked the streets and alleys every day, and he still knew a lot.
The crowd asked for a while, and Tang Ping and a few people who worked together also explained.
The person who asked about the breakfast milk just now was satisfied, and ordered a month's breakfast milk on the spot, saying that it was to see the effect first, after all, the newly opened store, people should inspect the service and products.
As he was talking, he heard a heavy cough, Xiao Zhen looked up and saw that his face sank, and the old man Xiao on the other side was looking at him with a dry tobacco pouch in his mouth! Next to him and Grandma Xiao followed by Xiao's second uncle's family, Xiao Cong was also led by Grandma Xiao, so it can be said that the whole family went out.
Xiao Zhen would never be self-righteous and think that the other party was here to congratulate him, and sure enough, before he could speak, Lin Su'e was there with a sharp voice and a smirk, "Uncle He, why don't you talk to your family when you start a company, if we hadn't heard Zhang Dali say that you opened a company in the county, we wouldn't know it!" You said that this is all a family, what is there to hide. β
"That's it, big brother, you're not too inauthentic, your nephew doesn't have the money to marry a daughter-in-law, you have the money to start a company, why don't you have the money to borrow from us, are you afraid that we won't pay it back?" Xiao Da also said that he was not afraid of death, but now that his father was in front, he was not afraid of what his eldest brother would do to him.
Some of the onlookers felt that it made sense, although the economy has developed now, and the standard of living has improved slightly, but it is not easy to live in the past, people have long been accustomed to a family or a family group life, the eldest brother has a chance to take care of the younger brother, and even take care of the whole family should be, if you don't care about the family, you will be poked in the back.
Xiao Zhen hadn't spoken yet, Tang Ping couldn't see it first, "Xiao Er, are you sick or not, it's easy for my eldest brother to make some money!" If your son can't marry a daughter-in-law, that's because you don't have the ability, why should I let my eldest brother pay for it. β
Everyone thinks that what Tang Ping said also has some truth, but they also think that it is not wrong to help the family.
Xiao Zhen looked at them with a calm face, the last time he went home for the Chinese New Year, he had already torn his face with his family, and he didn't have any scruples about saying anything at this time, but she just wanted to speak, but Xiao Yan took the lead, "Second uncle, don't be unreasonable, my dad didn't help your family less, which year he didn't send some food to your family, and he didn't buy less things during the New Year's holiday, they went out to work, and even pulled a cart of things to you, and even gave you a large part of the salary, not that you all talk about eating and drinking." β
The people around looked at it, "Oh" turned out to be like this, this will not live, Huohuo things will not work, and it is a bottomless pit no matter how many times you help.
"Hmph, boss, don't worry about that yet, why don't you sue the family when you open a company." Old man Xiao saw that he hadn't spoken yet, and the old face of the second son was ripped off, so he quickly glared at Xiao Da, told him to shut up, and said by himself.
"What kind of company is this, it's just a place to continue working." Xiao Zhen didn't answer directly, he didn't want to sue SΓΉ's family, but the village is so big, everyone has to know that there is a little trouble, so he was also prepared, but he didn't expect Old Man Xiao to come so quickly.
"Why is it not a company, your brand has been hung out, I asked you to give your brother some money to build a house, you pushed three and four times, and now the company is up, you still want to hide it from your family, I sue you, don't think about it, if you don't say one, two, three today, I will make your company unsuccessful." Old man Xiao said for a long time that Xiao Er and the others said just now, but these words came out of his mouth, as if accusing Xiao Zhen of not listening to his father and being unfilial.
Zhao Guoying has been listening, the more she listens, the more wrong it is, how it has become her family's fault, she looked at her husband's dark face, obviously didn't know how to answer for a while, saying that if she didn't want to pay money, she didn't care about her brother and was not filial to her father.
But if this matter is not solved today, they will think about opening this company, and what kind of store will they open if their reputation is bad.
So, she thought for a while and said, "Dad, my family didn't say that it couldn't afford it." β
Xiao Zhen looked at his daughter-in-law in surprise, and Zhao Guoying gave him a reassuring look.
Lin Su'e thought that they were being compromised by their own family, so she said proudly, "Okay, don't talk about it, and tell me when you pay how much!" When you get it, you don't admit it. β
Zhao Guoying continued, "Her second aunt, what are you anxious about, we didn't say no, but the family's money is not blown by the wind, his father moves and carries with others every day, and he does all the hard, dirty and tiring work, so he can make some money, I am also busy washing vegetables and chopping vegetables from morning to night, and we also have three children to raise, you can't let us give it to you for nothing!" β
Everyone nodded when they heard this, it was not easy for anyone to live, and they all dedicated their own family only to drink the northwest wind.
"And what do you want?" Lin Su'e hesitated.
"In this way, let's come in and say, we can lend you money, but we have to make an IOU, write the return date, and our children will also need money to go to school!" Zhao Guoying said.
When Xiao Yan heard this, her mother had a good idea, looking at Lin Su'e's virtue, she must want to borrow or not to repay, to borrow money? And an IOU? She's going to do it.
Sure enough, Xiao Er's family turned pale when they heard this, and Old Man Xiao said angrily, "What? Brothers also have to make IOUs, isn't this a joke! β
"Our family is not blowing in the wind, so it's good not to have an IOU?" Xiao Zhen airway. He said this, which can be regarded as supporting Zhao Guoying's words.
Old man Xiao said angrily, "Not bad? He threw the cigarette pouch into Grandma Xiao's arms, walked directly to the vertical signboard, and then grabbed it hard, and the wooden signboard was not too heavy, and was directly taken to the ground.
Xiao Zhen saw that he was in a hurry, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and was about to speak, when he heard the sound of a car.
A pickup truck pulled up at the door, and everyone looked back to see a man in his thirties wearing the most fashionable leather jacket and jeans getting out of the driver's seat.
The man said, "There are so many people! Brother Xiao, I'm sorry, it's a little late in the store, congratulations! β
Xiao Zhen let go of his hand and hurriedly continued, "It's not too late, it's not too late, it's just opened." β
"Junzi, take down the flower basket." The man said to a young man who had just said from the passenger seat.
Junzi agreed, took the two large flower baskets from the car bucket, and placed them at the door of the store.
There is also a streamer hanging on the flower basket, the left side is written to open the business, the right side is written to be rich and prosperous, and the payment is Chen Jiang to congratulate.
Chen Jiang is also a member of Chengnan Village, and he is still a well-known wealthy family in Chengnan Village, and he was the first to start trading to make money, and he also contracted a large piece of land in their village to build a factory.
So generally people in Chengnan Village know him more or less, but he has been opening a store in the county for the past two years, so he has seen less, at the beginning Lin Su'e and Xiao Da looked at this person and felt familiar, but as soon as this flower blue was put on the table, they were a little dumbfounded when they saw the words on it, how could this Xiao Zhen know someone like Chen Jiang, and it seemed that he was very familiar with him.
Old man Xiao obviously knew Chen Jiang as well, and he didn't look incredulous, "Xiao Chen, why are you here?" In fact, he also relied on his age, and asked a few words with the old seller, his family and the Chen family are not familiar at all, and it can be said that they can hardly talk, that is, Chen Jiang is used to running outside, and he says hello when he sees people.
Chen Jiang smiled, "Oh, it turned out to be Uncle Xiao, I am good friends with Brother Xiao, I came to congratulate him!" As he spoke, he saw the fallen signboard, as well as the action of Old Man Xiao, and smiled, "Uncle Xiao, what's going on?" The tone was indescribably detached and indifferent.
Xiao Yan in the back was familiar with him, so he couldn't remember where he had seen it, but as soon as his indifferent expression came out, he immediately remembered that this was not the 'bicycle man' she met with her son when she carried Xiaohui to the county health center to see a doctor? actually became good friends with his father, this county is really small!
Old man Xiao was asked, his old face turned red, and he felt that it was difficult to ride a tiger, Chen Jiang was a well-known and promising figure in their village, and the Chen family had such a character, all of whom followed the chicken and dog to ascend to heaven, Chen Jiang's unproductive eldest brother, who couldn't do anything every day, could find him a job in the county supply and marketing cooperative, and watched TV and chatted there every day and didn't do anything.
So he didn't want to offend Chen Jiang, and since the boss knew Chen Jiang, and the other party came to congratulate him in person, he would definitely not be wrong in the future, he originally came here to make trouble, on the one hand, he was angry that Xiao Zhen had the money to open a store and didn't sue him, it was simply disrespectful to him, and on the other hand, he was encouraged by his second son's family to come.
He wants the boss to be filial piety, although these days because of the second child has a lot of spleen, but there are a lot of things for the New Year's holiday, and it is a lot richer than in previous years, he will really have a chance in the future, he does not help the second child, and the third child will definitely have to help when he comes back.
But now it's a bit difficult to ride a tiger, just now he was angry and rushed to the crown, and it didn't take long for him to greet him with a smile, he really didn't know what to do, and then listening to Chen Jiang's cold words, he was obviously very dissatisfied with him, and it made him panic for a while.
As he was stalemate, he heard a familiar voice behind him.
"Dad! Eldest brother! β
He was excited when he heard this voice, and quickly looked back, who is the immortal Xiao Xing?
"The third?" Old man Xiao said in a trembling voice.
Grandma Xiao also spoke excitedly and began to shed tears, "Why did you come back?" She was holding her little grandson Xiao Cong, that is, Xiao Xing's son, and when she saw his father coming back, her eyes were full of warm desire, but she didn't dare to step forward.
"Dad, it's me!" Xiao Xing is now wearing a dark coat and carrying a big bag on his shoulder, looking dusty all the way.
Old man Xiao saw that the most painful old son was back, and now he didn't care about anything, ran over with a slight trembling, and choked up, "Son! You're back! β
Xiao Xing left home to work in the south, and he wrote a few letters to report his safety at the beginning, and then there has been no letter, it is good to have a letter a year, and he has never come back during the New Year, but Xiao's parents still hold him every day.
Xiao Laosan appeared, and Old Man Xiao naturally didn't make a fuss, holding his old son's hand and going home, Xiao Xing also greeted the eldest brother and the second brother warmly before leaving.
Xiao Er followed behind depressedly and kept muttering, "If you really have a third child, you don't want a second child, and I don't know if I'm biological." β
Lin Su'e answered, "It's hard for you to say, but your eldest brother probably isn't." She meant to persuade her husband to be content. That's what I said, without any speculation or suspicion.
It was not easy to support a child in those years, who would be stupid enough to raise it if it was not biological.
Xiao Er also nodded depressedly, compared to the boss, the old man still favored him, but he couldn't compare with the third one.
Xiao Zhen looked at his father pulling the third child with a look of admiration, although he had long been used to it, he still unconsciously felt cold in his heart.
When Chen Jiang saw this, he also felt very ironic, the honest, credible and capable eldest son didn't care about it, but he liked the younger son who didn't go home for a few years and didn't even bring back a letter, and then thought about himself on the opposite. For a while, I felt a little sympathetic for Xiao Zhen.
There is no trouble, Xiao Zhen's company officially opened, although it is a new store, but Xiao Zhen has been working in the county for more than half a year, and many people have asked him to work, so he still trusts him.
He works hard, and he works with him and knows everything, a little technical work, such as repairing a household appliance or repairing a water pipe, so slowly everyone loves to find him.
I have to say that he has built a small reputation in the hearts of people in the county in the past six months, and his ability to make friends with Chen Jiang also stems from his integrity.
