Some of you know that there is a Laizhou City in Yantai, Shandong, and some don't know that we are here.

People often ask me, what specialties do you have in Laizhou? I would like to talk about the story of how many friendships our Laizhou specialties have brought me.

There are many specialties in Laizhou, the most famous is Maqu sugar.

Ten years ago, I remember that there were old grandfathers and grandmothers selling Maqu candy on the street every Chinese New Year. Therefore, there are few old craftsmen who can still make the old taste of this craft, but Maqu big sugar has been passed down with the help of Laifeng.com

In 2019, the time when the Chinese New Year was approaching, that is, when the cold first began. Because there is an award ceremony in Shenzhen that requires me to be present in person, basically I don't care about three meals a day, and I don't know what snacks there are in Shenzhen, so I bought a few boxes of Maqu candy from Laifeng and went to Shenzhen by myself. (At that time, I didn't know Mr. Lin)

After arriving in Shenzhen, I stayed in the hotel prepared for me by the organizer, which was not very luxurious, it was a small standard room like my own home. However, the hotel is occupied by the owners of the various cities that will attend the awards ceremony tomorrow, celebrities, investors, the staff of the organizers, and some photographers.

When I arrived in Shenzhen, it was already night, and it was the first time I experienced the biting cold of the south. On the first night, the organizer didn't prepare a meal, so I thought about nibbling on Maqu candy in my room, but after I was full, I went out to see the night view of Shenzhen, and I met several southern bosses who went to KFC to eat together in the corridor.

What is the characteristic of the southern boss, enthusiasm! Moreover, they really haven't seen snow in the north. Therefore, as soon as these buddies greeted me, they immediately became interested when they heard me speak Shandongfang dialect. Invited me to KFC for dinner, I said I ate, they asked me what I ate, I shared the big sugar with them, and asked them if they had never seen the big sugar? As a result, they really said that they had never seen this thing, and said that it was the first time they had seen this kind of food with sesame seeds, sugar, and a particularly crispy bite and sticky teeth. Then, they ate it together, and the more they ate, the more fragrant it became, and then they wanted to eat one more.

Because I didn't know what snacks there were in Shenzhen, I only brought some Maqu sugar, thinking that I could survive three days. After all, I still have to think about going home for the New Year. On the train back to Laizhou, I can't go hungry, right? Good guys, as soon as they shared the big sugar I brought, they ate it all in one night, and kept asking me, "How the hell is this made?" There is sugar, and there are sesame seeds, and it makes people eat one and think about the other."

Of course, I can't directly say the practice of Maqu Big Sugar, and the key is that I really won't do it, so I can only find a way to let them take me to solve the problem of eating in the next few days.

I said, "You have eaten all the food I was going to eat for three days." You can't eat me, and you don't care about what I'll eat for the next few days. When these southern bosses heard this, they readily agreed to my request for dinner, "Okay, Mr. Qu, we have all covered your meals in the next few days, but you have to send me a link, I still want to continue to eat this Maqu big sugar, I can still receive it before the New Year, right?" I said, "That's for sure, when I return to Laizhou, I'll ship it to you on WeChat immediately." When the time comes, just give me the consignee's information and money! ”

Then, I actually went to eat KFC with them that night. When they heard that I was from Laizhou, they wanted to see what the snow looked like, and even the "snow" courier wanted me to send it to them. I agreed, and I also promoted a lot of cooperation later, just for the product of Maqu Big Sugar, I earned at least tens of thousands of errands from them. This thing is not sold online, and Laifeng has not opened to Shenzhen, so I go to Laifeng to buy it first, and then take this thing to the express station to ship, and earn errand fees, and after running for almost a week, the money is earned back. Snow didn't make any money for their errands, because it was really unnecessary, and the things that could be found everywhere were sent to them.

Later, the story of me bringing Maqu Sugar to Shenzhen spread in their circle, some people in their circle are very successful in business, and there are also small bosses who have just started a business, everyone always asks me to bring Maqu Sugar, and then do you know all the book friends? The most interesting thing is that from then on, everyone thought that I had no food money, only Maqu Sugar, and I was about to become the propaganda ambassador of Maqu Sugar.

Everyone who saw me asked me, "Mr. Qu, have you eaten?" Didn't you eat it together and eat some, with Maqu big sugar? Let's go, let's eat a piece together. I said, "Eat, and don't bother." Ouch, I was careless when I went out, I didn't bring Maqu sugar, let's make an appointment next time. "There are very enthusiastic bosses or investors who will say to me, "I have to eat another meal after dinner, let's go." I haven't eaten yet, so you should stay with me. ”

I am very happy when I think about this experience now, and I earned a lot of errands by relying on Maqu Sugar, which helped me to feel a lot easier in the three years when I had a cold. I became the best person in the group of guests at the awards ceremony, and sometimes I could eat with three waves of people for dinner. I also got to know a lot of people from these award ceremony guests, including TV stations, enterprises, self-media, market research, trade, software and hardware. My friends from other places are very close friends.

Before this incident, I may not have been very famous, nor was I too famous, and I wasn't even a person. Then, I took the trophy I got from the award ceremony, and after returning to the company, Mr. Pan and Mr. Lu thought that I had a girlfriend in Shenzhen, and they had a smile on their faces all day long. Actually, didn't you really get a girlfriend, in exchange for you earned a lot of money because of Maqu Big Sugar, can you be unhappy all day long?

Come out and mix, which of these three words is the most important? Book lovers may think that it is "mixed", neither nor not, mixing is not important, "coming out" is the most important!

What is the essence of making money? The essence is to cooperate with others, not to compete with yourself, to cooperate with teachers, to cooperate with partners, to cooperate with colleagues, to cooperate with customers, to cooperate with strangers, this is the real essence.

During that time, I really felt like a successful person in a TV series, with a fast-paced and fulfilling life. After returning from Shenzhen, my work has become more energetic, and the cooperation between me and the bosses in the south has become smoother and smoother. Our team is getting more and more united, and the company is getting bigger and bigger.

I also learned a lot in the process. I learned that the meaning of life is not only the pursuit of success and wealth, but more importantly, the pursuit of inner peace and contentment.

I also learned that no matter what difficulties we encounter, as long as we maintain a positive attitude and persevere, we will definitely be able to overcome them and achieve our dreams.

Now, our products are becoming more and more popular in the market, and our team is getting stronger and stronger. So, what I want to tell you is that no matter where you are, no matter what difficulties you are facing, as long as you maintain a positive mindset and persevere, you can achieve your dreams. Because in this world, nothing can stop us from moving forward.
