After Ran Qiuye knew the way Silly Zhu dealt with fat people, he was quite surprised, and at the same time, he sincerely agreed with Silly Zhu's changes.

A few days later, when the two of them went back to the old house of the Ran family to visit Ran Qiuye's mother, Ran Qiuye told Ran's mother about it, but after the old lady heard it, she gave a very high praise to the stupid pillar.

"It seems that I used to underestimate the pillar!" Mother Ran, who was in a wheelchair, said with some emotion.

Although Ran's mother is not very old, but her body is not very good because of what happened in previous years, and when the old man Ran left, he was even more seriously ill, and he took a trip to the ghost gate, and almost lost people, although he was rescued, but the small half of his body was paralyzed, and he could only sit in a wheelchair, and he had to be served even by pooping and peeing.

Ran Qiuye nodded approvingly: "He has indeed changed a lot over the years, if this is put on hold, with his temper at that time, this matter will definitely not be so easy to solve." ”

Mother Ran looked at Ran Qiuye and said with some emotion: "The world makes people, speaking of which, when you first talked to him before, your father and I were still a little unhappy, that is, the two of you got married, and your father and I were also worried that you would be wronged when you got married."

Now it seems that it is the heart of our villain, the belly of a gentleman.

Zhuzi this person, honest and kind-hearted, can have such a change now, may not be able to do a career in the future, you can marry him, it is your blessing, to cherish it. ”

Ran's mother said this seriously, and in her voice, her demeanor was full of expectations for her daughter's bright future.

Ran Qiuye was massaging the acupuncture points on her mother's legs, hoping to awaken the consciousness of the little half of her mother's paralyzed body through stimulation, but unfortunately there was no substantial effect.

"Mom, don't worry, I know what you said, and I don't plan for him to do anything, I just hope that our family is healthy and safe."

Ran's mother said: "I didn't say anything about the craftsmanship of the pillar, the difference is in that temper, too upright, too hot, I can't rub sand in my eyes, but that's all in the past, just look at his handling of the fat man's affairs this time, I know that he is a person who does big things." ”

"Can you see that, too?" Ran Qiuye asked.

Ran's mother said with a smile: "From ancient times to the present, those who have achieved great things, which one is not stoic in temperament, and can bear what ordinary people can't bear." ”

Ran's family is a scholarly family, Ran's mother was also a beautiful lady when she was young, she read poetry and books, and studied Western studies, and followed Ran's father to work hard in Nanyang for many years, and she has a set of skills to know people.

The Ran family has a family history, although Ran Qiuye's knowledge is not very knowledgeable, but he also has some insight, so he naturally knows the examples that Ran's mother said.

"He's just a cook, and he can't do anything but cook!" Although Ran Qiuye was modest on her lips, the smile on her face revealed what she really wanted in her heart at this moment.

If you want to say that the character of a stupid pillar is really not changed in a day or two, a year or two.

Time passed day by day, the business of the Peony Building was still hot, every day was full, and the stupid pillar led the apprentices to be busy every day, and they couldn't wait to sleep in the Peony Building at night.

In a flash, it was the midsummer of '84.

Xu Damao's errand to show movies has long been gone, and now he has been arranged to be a ticket inspector in the front, and his salary has naturally dropped, and there is no extra money, Lou Xiao'e has already left the gold jewelry at home in the early years, although Xu Damao found that the thing was missing, but he didn't dare to say anything at all, so he could only swallow the knocked out teeth into his stomach.

In addition to work, the daughter-in-law's stomach has not moved for many years, which has also become a heart disease for Xu Damao, and if he only marries a daughter-in-law from beginning to end, Xu Damao can still throw the pot on his daughter-in-law's head.

But after experiencing Lou Xiao'e, Yu Haitang, and the current one, it is impossible that every one of them has not happened, rumors about Xu Damao's physical problems and his inability to have children have long been spread in the hospital.

Especially a few years ago, Xu Damao offended all the people in the courtyard, and he was almost like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouted and beat him, and people were naturally happy to expose his scars and poke his sore spots.

But Xu Damao is not the person who sits back and waits, the job in the movie theater is not good, the salary is low, and the family's originally prosperous life suddenly becomes poor, which is how Xu Damao can stand it.

It is in response to the old saying: from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift.

Although Xu Damao has a bad stomach, I have to say that this kid has strong action, his brain is also fast, seeing that the policy is good, self-employed people are scrambling to take the lead, and people's living standards are gradually improving, Xu Damao also started to think, and he cleaned up all day long, his hair was still smeared with hair wax, and he went out early and returned late with a leather briefcase, and he didn't know what he was doing.

With the passage of time, the business of Peony House has already entered the stage of steady development, but in just over a year, not only has the capital invested by the three of them come back, but there is also a lot left.

Wang Chong suggested that He Yushui buy the property rights of the restaurant.

He Yushui has always attached great importance to Wang Chong's suggestions, and he should take action.

On the other hand, Wang Chong's work in the rolling mill has encountered bottlenecks, with scarce talents, insufficient financial support, and his own technical limitations, and various problems emerge one after another.

On this day, just after getting off work, Wang Chong was not in a hurry to go home, but rode to a café.

"Here, sit down, what do you want to drink?" Lou Xiao'e had been waiting in the café for a long time, and when she saw Wang Zhong coming in, she took the initiative to say hello.

Wang Chong smiled slightly and said, "I'm not used to drinking coffee, just bring me a cup of boiled water." ”

"I'm sorry, I don't know." Lou Xiao'e obviously didn't expect this.

"It's okay." Wang Zhong said straight to the point: "Is there something wrong with you suddenly looking for me?" ”

"You're still so direct." Lou Xiao'e said.

Wang Chongdao: "Order directly, so as not to waste time." ”

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said, "I heard that the two projects you brought have encountered bottlenecks?" ”

Wang Zhong looked at Lou Xiao'e: "Well-informed enough!" ”

Lou Xiao'e grinned: "Businessmen, rely on poor information. ”

"If you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Palace, just say anything straight!" Wang Chongdao.

Lou Xiao'e smiled again: "I plan to build a range hood factory in Shencheng, produce and sell it myself, and no longer cooperate with the rolling mill." ”

Wang Zhong asked curiously: "Why do you suddenly have such thoughts?" ”

Lou Xiao'e said: "I won't hide it from you, the profit of cooperating with the rolling mill is too low, and the technical content of the range hood is not high, isn't it?" ”

Since the last time she met Wang Chong, Lou Xiao'e signed an order with the rolling mill through the relationship between the Lou family and became one of the dealers of range hoods.

"And now the policy on the Shencheng side is much better than that on the Beiping side!"

"Then you're looking for me?" Wang Zhong asked.

Lou Xiao'e said: "I want to cooperate with you!" ”

"Cooperation?" Wang Chong is not surprised, the range hood project of the rolling mill has always been in charge of himself, and it is not surprising that Lou Xiao'e is eyeing herself.

"What kind of cooperation is it?"

Lou Xiao'e said: "What is the situation of the rolling mill, you and I both know in our hearts, if it weren't for the two projects of range hood and agricultural machinery under your hands, it would have been impossible to make ends meet." ”

"At least not to make ends meet now, are you?" Wang Zhong said with a smile.

"That being said, how long can it last?" Lou Xiao'e said.

Wang Zhong looked at Lou Xiao'e and said, "Why do you think that the rolling mill can't last long?" ”

Lou Xiao'e said: "Isn't it? ”

"Whether it is a range hood or an agricultural machinery, it is just an incidental project, the real function of the rolling mill, or steel processing, Director Liu is upright, and he wants to run the rolling mill well, which is indeed worthy of admiration, but the rolling mill has been in the hands of Li Huaide and his group of people for too long, and it is rotten from the root."

Although the middle and upper-level leaders of Li Huaide and his family have been purged, in the past ten years, with the retirement of the older generation of workers, the new workers have been busy participating in this kind of activity, and there is not much time really spent on work, and the technology naturally cannot catch up with those experienced masters.

If it weren't for the profit support brought by the two projects of agricultural machinery and range hood, the rolling mill would have been unable to make ends meet, as Lou Xiao'e said.

The problem faced by the rolling mill now is that if it only relies on processing steel, it will not be able to feed so many people, but if most of the energy and recent energy are invested in the research and development of agricultural machinery and range hoods, it will be far from the function of the rolling mill.

And although the profits of agricultural machinery and range hoods are not low, but relying on this profit alone to feed the factory, it is not a long-term solution at all, the research and development of new products, the upgrading of machines, all aspects need to spend a lot of money, and the most lacking in the rolling mill is the capital.

Moreover, the rolling mill is a state-owned unit, and when some major decisions are made, they need to be reported and agreed by the directly subordinate departments at the top.

It can be said that today's rolling mills have reached a fork in the road, either reborn from the ashes or gradually declining.

Even Lou Xiao'e can see things, how can Wang Chong not see them.

But Wang Chong still politely rejected Lou Xiao'e: "The deep city is too far away, and I have no plans to leave Beiping at present." ”

Lou Xiao'e didn't want to give up easily, because she knew in her heart that a talent like Wang Zhong could bring value: "Don't think about it anymore? I can give you shares. ”

Wang Chong said: "Okay, don't waste your efforts!" ”

"Then let's do it another way!" Lou Xiao'e said again.

Wang Zhong said: "Let's talk about it." ”

Lou Xiao'e said: "How about you help me design a range hood?" ”

Wang Zhong smiled dumbly: "I said Lou Xiao'e, should I say that you are too shrewd or too stupid, now the rolling mill is pointing to the range hood and agricultural machinery to make money, do you want me to design a range hood for you and fight with our factory?" ”

"And what are you going to do to help me?" Lou Xiao'e said.

Wang Chongdao: "Actually, I don't think you have to squeeze into the range hood market, it's better to change your thinking and do something else." ”

"Something else?" Lou Xiao'e frowned and said suspiciously.

Wang Chongdao: "You just want to make money, like range hoods, agricultural machinery, which require a certain technical content, talent reserves and a large amount of original capital investment, I advise you not to touch it first." ”

"What else can we do without making a range hood?" Lou Xiao'e asked again.

The Lou family now has a processing plant in Shencheng, which is also engaged in steel processing, after all, the rolling mill itself belongs to the Lou family, and it is familiar to the Lou family to go back to their old business.

Wang Chongdao: "Food, clothing, housing and transportation, our ancestors have long told us that those industries are easy to make money." ”

Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up: "You mean to open a garment factory?" ”

Wang Chongdao: "Food, clothing, housing and transportation, 'clothing' first, now the policy is getting better and better, people's lives will definitely get better and better, and there is more and more money in their hands, after satisfying food and clothing, they will begin to pursue the quality of life." ”

"But I've never been in this business, and I don't know the doorway." Lou Xiao'e said.

Wang Chongdao: "You don't understand, I understand, the two of us cooperate, the capital is half of one person, and the shares are half of one person, you are responsible for management, I am responsible for making suggestions, providing business ideas, design concepts, and sales methods." ”

"Wait!" Lou Xiao'e suddenly reacted: "Didn't I come to ask you to cooperate with me to open a factory?" Why is it that the situation is reversed now? ”

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Is there a difference?" ”

"Of course there is a difference!" Lou Xiao'e said with a serious face.

Wang Zhong picked up the water cup, drank the boiled water that had been cooled, got up and said, "My wife and children are still waiting for me to eat at home, you think about it slowly, and call me when you think about it." ”

With that, he left the café, leaving Lou Xiao'e alone to sit at the table and fall into deep thought.

The next day, Wang Zhong received a call from Lou Xiao'e to make an appointment.

Taking advantage of the lunch break, Wang Chong took time out of the factory to meet Lou Xiao'e in a small restaurant.

"Tell me more about what you plan to do about the garment factory?" Lou Xiao'e also figured it out, Wang Chong must have thought about it early in the morning, and he had already made up his mind, but he was too anxious yesterday and fell into passivity.

"Didn't you make it clear yesterday, you and I each contribute half of the funds, you are responsible for operation and management, I am responsible for making suggestions, and the shares are also divided in half."

"Then why should I cooperate with you, can't I do it alone?" Lou Xiao'e said bluntly.

Wang Chongdao: "If you want to fight alone, you can do it with you, I just suggest it." ”

"I just think that compared with the high investment in making range hoods, clothes and shoes and other relatively low-cost things, it is more suitable for the initial stage of capital accumulation."

Seeing that Wang Chong was so calm, Lou Xiao'e lowered her head and muttered for a moment before she raised her head again, looked at Wang Chong, and stretched out her hand: "Happy cooperation!" ”

Wang Chong also stretched out his hand: "Happy cooperation." ”

Lou Xiao'e is also a resolute and resolute person now, and after discussing it with Wang Chong, she immediately took the money and went to Shencheng.

And Wang Zhong also waited for a paper order.

Lao Xu over the machinery branch has reached the age of retirement, Lao Xu is not ambiguous, before retirement recommended Wang Chong to the above, suggesting that Wang Chong take his place, for which Lao Xu also wrote a letter to the direct leaders above, Yan Ming compared with the main factory, Wang Chong is more suitable to stay in the machinery factory.
