After Yao Rong left the timber market, he did not go home immediately, but went straight to a nearby newsstand, where he bought a bottle of water and chatted with the newsstand staff.

On the recommendation of the staff, she bought a few newspapers, as well as some stamps and envelopes.

Back at home, Jiang Fanyue was immersed in writing.

Yao Rong didn't bother her, she sat alone in the courtyard and flipped through the newspapers, and roughly understood the positioning and plates of each newspaper.

After flipping through the newspaper in his hand, Yao Rong went into the house again and found the fairy tale books borrowed by Sun Taotao.

In recent years, many publishing houses have published books with a call for papers on the last page of the book.

Yao Rong looked through it, and sure enough, he found the information of the two publishing houses.

Jiang Fanyue was tired of writing, and when she looked up, she noticed that Yao Rong was copying the information of the publishing house: "Mom, what are you doing?" ”

Yao Rong maintained the writing habits of his original body, and his handwriting was very jerky: "Didn't you say that you want to make money, I'm helping you collect news from the publishing house." ”

Jiang Fanyue put down the pen and moved her wrist: "Will it be too early, maybe you won't need it in a short time." ”

Although she has built up her confidence in writing, she is still in awe of publishing, believing that her current level is far behind.

"Why can't you use it?"

Yao Rong disagreed.

"Have you forgotten what Taotao's mother said, she said that the story of "Grandpa Big Tree" can already be used for submission. Taotao's mother graduated from a prestigious university and is well-informed, so what she said must be right. ”

"Besides, just give it a try. If we succeed, we will be happy, and if not, we will continue to work hard. Anyway, all that's wasted is a few cents of stamps. ”

Jiang Fanyue thought about it.

You can't just quit without even trying.

She came to Yao Rong's side and picked up a publishing house with Yao Rong.

The two picked for a long time, and chose the Changjin Publishing House, which belongs to the city.

Changjin Publishing House is the largest publishing house in the province, and in addition to books and magazines, it also publishes newspapers.

Its Weekly Ontario Weekly is the best-selling newspaper in the province.

And in the "Ontario Weekly", there happens to be a column about family affection.

As a native of this province, Jiang Fanyue definitely hopes that her article can be published in the newspapers of this province so that more people in her hometown can see it.

Coincidentally, in the original plot, when Jiang Fanyue was desperate, she sent letters and manuscripts to this publishing house. It's a pity that at that time, she died of illness before she could get a reply from the publishing house.

Now that I have chosen this publishing house, it can be regarded as a renewal of this fate.

"That's it?" Yao Rong asked.

Jiang Fanyue nodded: "I will re-copy and revise the story according to the requirements of the call for papers." ”

A few days later, Jiang Fanyue delivered the submission letter to the mailbox and set up a stall with Yao Rong in the old place.

Zhao Brown squatted in front of the stall, looked left and right, full of rarity.

Yao Rong was receiving other guests, and he couldn't spare time to greet Zhao Brown for the time being, Zhao Palm sat beside Jiang Fanyue with a small bench and took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket.

"Yueyue, eat some?"

Jiang Fanyue saw that he wanted to ask himself some questions, and this chocolate was similar to a bribe, pulling into the relationship between the two, so he pursed his lips and smiled, and took it: "Thank you, Uncle Zhao, if there is anything you want to know, just ask me directly." ”

Zhao Brown coughed, but he didn't expect to be seen through by a little girl.

However, Jiang Fanyue said this, and it was indeed in Zhao Brown's arms.

He began to ask for details.

Jiang Fanyue answered very carefully, and occasionally added some points that Zhao Brown did not ask.

"Do you make toys too?" Zhao Brown asked.

"I'm just helping to do it, and I'm not very good at it."

"Didn't your mother teach you carpentry?" Zhao Brown said rarely.

In these years, people with crafts in the family are very particular about inheriting their father's business.

Just like his father, he never forgot to let him learn carpentry, but he is really a rotten wood in this regard, and even his father, an old carpenter who has been immersed in decades can't carve well.

Jiang Fanyue's smile was full of pride: "I also wanted to learn a little at the beginning, and I helped her in the future, but she asked me to choose what I really love to learn, and I don't have to waste time on this matter." ”

Zhao Brown: "......"

Zhao Brown almost soured into a lemon essence.

Why wasn't his dad so enlightened?

"But you're so young, do you have something you love?"

Jiang Fanyue's chick nodded like a peck of rice: "There is." ”

Zhao Brown was swept up by a child: "I haven't yet." ”

Jiang Fanyue patted his arm for comfort: "I can see that Uncle Zhao likes to do some challenging things and is very good at socializing. You're just not looking for a direction to work on right now. ”

When Yao Rong sent the guests away and turned his head to look over, he heard Zhao Brown grabbing Jiang Fanyue's arm and shouting that he had met his bosom friend.

Yao Rong: "......"

Zhao Brown noticed Yao Rong's eyes, and hurriedly let go of Jiang Fanyue's arm, and put on a serious and serious appearance again: "Sister Yao, are you done?" ”

"I'm done. Yueyue has just introduced the basic situation to you, is there anything else you want to ask? ”

In the past few days, Zhao Brown has seriously inquired about Old Man Zhao and got a lot of opinions from Old Man Zhao.

He made detailed communication with Yao Rong in advance on some issues that might cause contradictions.

After the two sides reached an agreement, Zhao Brown said: "There is another very important thing, which is about the trademark and brand name. ”

If Yao Rong sets up his own stall to do a small business, it is no problem whether he has a registered trademark or a famous brand name.

However, if you want to expand production and build the toy business into a brand business, you must implement various formal processes so that repeat customers will recognize the brand in the future.

Zhao Brown was worried that Yao Rong didn't know the importance of it, and was about to explain it in detail, when Yao Rong took out a page from his pocket, and after unfolding it, a circular icon was drawn on it.

Inside is a baby elephant with a long trunk.

"It's an icon I designed. You see how it goes. ”

Zhao Brown and Jiang Fanyue looked at each other, showing surprise on their faces.

Zhao Brown was surprised because he didn't expect Yao Rong to think so comprehensively.

Jiang Fanyue was surprised because she guessed Yao Rong's intention of using the image of a baby elephant as a trademark.

"As for the brand name, it's called Fairy Tale World, how about it?"

Zhao Brown was stunned, repeated the brand name twice in his mouth, and gave a thumbs up: "This name is vivid enough." ”

Isn't the world of toys a fairy tale?

"I've got sixty toys ready. In the next few days, I will ask you to consign them and sell them, and I will be responsible for registering trademarks and recruiting people to expand production, do you think it's okay? ”

The autumn wind was howling and the temperature was cold, but Zhao Brown was so excited that his face turned red.

He clearly realized that the opportunity he was waiting for had really come.

Such a big guy who has both professional ability and management ability, and can see three steps when he takes one step, was actually hugged by him to his thigh.

Oh my God, he's Zhao Brown, he's finally going to come out!

So at this time, how can you say no, he will definitely do his best to do everything within his ability.

Zhao Palmxiong left in high spirits.

I have to say that although his temperament is a little babbling, his brain is really bright.

The group with the greatest demand for toys must be children.

Zhao Brown took his toys and went to several elementary schools in the city.

Originally, he wanted to work with a convenience store.

Elementary school students often buy snacks at convenience stores after school, and if they like toys, they may buy them with their own pocket money.

But standing in front of the convenience store and observing for a long time, Zhao Brown still gave up.

The convenience store is too small, selling only a few cents of things, and very few of the last dollar, even if he can convince the boss to agree to consignment, it is impossible to consign too much at one time.

In this way, the toys are too scattered, which is not conducive to subsequent management.

And how much pocket money is for elementary school students.

In the toy business, what you really need to target is not the pocket money of elementary school students at all, but the money in the pockets of adults.

Thinking of this, Zhao Brown's eyes rolled, and he drove his tricycle to a famous kindergarten in the city, and went straight to a supermarket not far from the kindergarten.

Half an hour later, the boss and Zhao Brown moved the toys together.

The tricycle was half empty in an instant.

The remaining half of the toys were not sent to other kindergartens, but to a bookstore and a coffee shop.

As a parent, it is normal to take your child to the bookstore on the weekend and see a new style of toy, so I can buy one for my child.

In recent years, those who like to go to coffee shops are some people who live a relatively petty bourgeoisie, and these people have basically become married, and when they see a fashionable toy, they can buy one for their children, or even buy one for themselves, which is also a normal operation.

Of course, this is just a shallow idea of Zhao Brown, and the toys may not be sold in the end.

But it doesn't matter.

These attempts will not cause any losses. Through these attempts, he can slowly locate consumer groups and deliver toys more accurately in the future.

At the same time, Yao Rong came to the Trademark Office.

Changjin City encourages entrepreneurship, so the relevant process was given the green light all the way, and Yao Rong completed the trademark registration after only some delay.

She returned to the village and went to the village chief's house with the pastries she had bought.

The village chief's family sat around the charcoal basin and roasted the fire.

"Boss, eldest daughter-in-law, have you found odd jobs?" The village chief asked his eldest son.

Now that the work in the fields is done, and there is still some time before the Chinese New Year, Rui Rui's parents must not stay at home all the time, but have to go to the town to find some odd jobs.

Rui Rui's father said: "It's not easy to find odd jobs these days, so I plan to go to the city tomorrow to ask." ”

The village chief's wife sighed: "If you don't stay in the village......"

Rui Rui's mother shook her head: "Mom, what did you say?" We live in the village, and we earn less, but we don't have as hard work as our brothers-in-law. ”

If it weren't for the hard times, who would be willing to leave their hometown and work hard.

Like the third and third daughter-in-law, after giving birth to Miao Miao, they sent Miao Miao back to their hometown, and they were reluctant to buy tickets to go home and reunite with their children during the New Year.

The village chief's wife shook her head, with a sad look on her face: "When will we be able to get rid of poverty in this place?" ”

The village chief didn't speak, just smoked homemade cigarettes.

Even more terrible than poverty is the intergenerational transmission of poverty.

They were poor all their lives, their children were poor all their lives, and their grandchildren were ......

It is also difficult to isolate the fate of poverty.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside the hospital.

Seeing Yao Rong coming, Rui Rui's mother got up and wanted to give her the place: "You sit, I'll pour you a bowl of water." ”

Yao Rong handed the pastry in his hand to the village chief's wife, looked at the village chief, and said straight to the point: "Uncle, I want to ask you for a favor." ”

The trademarks are all registered, and the small workshop can be opened.

Yao Rong plans to rent an abandoned warehouse in the village and open a small workshop there when the time comes.

As for the employees, they are recruited directly from the village.

Many of the old people in the village can do carpentry, maybe not as well as the professionals, but some simple ones can be used.

The hired staff was responsible for the machining of the components, and she was responsible for designing the toy drawings and final assembly.

Wages are not fixed and are charged per piece.

It's all about getting more for more work.

Hearing Yao Rong's words, the village chief, Rui Rui's father and others were shocked.

It was the village chief who came back to his senses first.

"Are you really going to recruit people from the village to work?"

"The village is basically full of elderly people, their eyes are spent, and their health is not very good, will this delay your affairs."

When he said this, he was really thinking about Yao Rong completely, and he didn't mix it with other selfish motives.

Yao Rong nodded and said with a smile: "I've thought it all through." I'm not worried that my uncles and aunts won't be able to do their work, but I'm worried that they are too capable and don't take care of their bodies in order to make more parts. ”

According to her estimates, as long as you are diligent, at the end of the day, employees can basically earn a piece of five.

That's forty-five dollars a month.

You must know that the teacher of Jixiang Middle School has a salary of only 90 yuan a month.

The village chief smiled, so happy that even the wrinkles on his face were relaxed: "If you are willing to open a factory in the village, and you are willing to recruit people from the village to work, I will help you do other things properly." ”

Yao Rong hurriedly thanked the village chief.

"As for the rent of the warehouse......" the village chief considered.

"Don't give me a discount, just as much as you want." Yao Rong is not short of this money, and most importantly, "although this income is not much, it can be used to repair roads and engage in construction in the village." ”

There are some things that are invisible and can be ignored.

Now that he has seen it and has this ability, Yao Rong will not stand idly by.

She said that she wanted to create a fairy tale world for Yueyue.

This fairy tale world naturally includes the place where Yueyue lives.

The village chief knew the people in the village by heart, and soon reported to Yao Rong a list of people who knew how to carpenter.

No more, no less, exactly four.

It's the same as the number of people Yao Rong wants to recruit.

Rui Rui's mother sat next to her, and she looked at Rui Rui's father, feeling a little pity.

If they had learned carpentry and could help in a small workshop, they wouldn't have to do odd jobs outside.

But it won't just won't.

With their temperament, they can't do anything to ask Yao Rong to open a back door.

Just when the couple was giving up, Yao Rong turned his head and looked over and asked Rui Rui's father if he believed her.

"If you believe me, you should go and get a truck license. Come and deliver it to me then. ”

Rui Rui's father was stunned, and subconsciously pondered Yao Rong's proposal.

After a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I won't go to odd jobs in the future, I'll apply for a driver's license." ”

It's not just out of trust in Yao Rong.

Either way, what you learn is your own.

Rui Rui's mother was not pulled down by Yao Rong.

Yao Rong wanted to ask her to clean the warehouse, pack toys, and cook a meal for several employees at noon every day.

"Now there are fewer people in the factory, so you have to do more things, and when there are more people in the factory later, you only need to be responsible for procurement, you see if it's okay."

Rui Rui's mother said excitedly: "Okay, this is too good." ”

The village is not big, Yao Rong has just left the village chief's house on the front foot, and the news of the back foot has spread throughout the village.

Many people ran to the village chief's house, or Yao Rong's house, and asked if this was true.

After repeated confirmation, many people choked their hearts and hated that they had not learned carpentry well before.

However, Yao Rong assured them that if the business is better in the future, they will definitely expand their recruitment.

"The people in the village have helped my mother and daughter a lot, and it is difficult to recruit anyone, so it is better to recruit whomever according to who has the ability, so that everyone is convinced, you say yes."

Yao Rong's words are very open, and people can't find mistakes.

To be honest, at the beginning, I saw that Yao Rong's business was so prosperous, and some people were unbalanced and had pink eye.

But at this time, seeing that Yao Rong was developed, I still remember pulling a handful of people in the village, and those with pink eye have also stopped, for fear that the whining words he said will be heard by Yao Rong, and Yao Rong will not choose him when he recruits people again in the future.

In short, with the help of the village chief, Yao Rong quickly went through the formalities and rented the right to use the warehouse.

In order to start work immediately, the four employees and Rui Rui's parents all ran to help clean the warehouse.

Yao Rong called Zhao Brown and asked Zhao Palm to help her buy tools, wood and some raw materials, and then let the bus bring it to the town for her.

"Remember the money first, and I'll settle it with you next time we meet."

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Palmle: "This is big business, my dad has to die of happiness." ”

Three hours later, Yao Rong got everything.

She drove a borrowed tricycle and ran back and forth several times before she finished transporting the things she needed to run the factory.

It is rare for the village to be so lively, and many elderly people come with their children to join in the fun, and finally they all rolled up their sleeves to join the queue to help.

For a while, this daunting village seemed to be revitalized by a small workshop with only six employees.

Jiang Fanyue took Yao Ruirui and Yao Miaomiao to sit on the ridge and watch this scene from afar.

"Sister Yueyue, why are you so happy?" Yao Miaomiao said curiously.

Obviously, the matter of opening a workshop has nothing to do with the vast majority of people.

"Because they see hope." Jiang Fanyue bent her eyes and said with a smile.

She understands how it feels.

When she went to set up a stall with her mother for the first time and earned two hundred and fifty-six yuan, she behaved like this.

Two hundred and fifty-six dollars does not make a family's life better.

What if there are two hundred and fifty-six dollars for every market day?

The days began to have hope.

Yao Miaomiao couldn't quite understand the meaning behind this, she sat in place for a while, and suddenly turned her head and bit Yao Ruirui's ear: "If Aunt Rong recruits people again, won't my father and mother have to go outside to work anymore?" ”

Yao Ruirui said: "It should be." ”

Yao Miaomiao clasped her hands together, learning the story that Jiang Fanyue had told her, and repeatedly chanted in her mouth: "Wishing mirror, wishing mirror, I want to use the snacks and toys in my life to change Aunt Rong's factory to get bigger and bigger." ”

Before the warehouse was cleaned up, Jiang Fanyue ushered in a farewell first.

Her first best friend, Sun Taotao, is going back to the imperial capital with her parents.

Hearing the news, Yao Rong deliberately took time to accompany Jiang Fanyue to the train station to see Sun Taotao's family.

Sun Taotao dragged Jiang Fanyue's hand, his eyes were red, and his little face was full of reluctance: "Sister Yueyue must not forget me." ”

"I will. Don't forget me. ”

Jiang Fanyue didn't cry, she smiled and stuffed the parting gift, the notebook with "Grandpa Big Tree Left in Winter", into Sun Taotao's hand.

Sun Taotao opened it and saw that there were still tears in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth had already raised: "When I go back, I will share this story with the children in the kindergarten, so that they all envy me." ”

Jiang Fanyue told him about the submission again.

Sun Taotao sighed slightly: "Then I will buy a lot of newspapers, and send one to the kindergarten children and teachers at that time." ”

Yao Rong smiled: "Do you have so much pocket money?" Sun Taotao had an idea: "For the next period of time, I don't buy toys and fairy tale books, just save money." ”

Mu Shulan stepped forward and hugged Sun Taotao and handed out a letter: "Yueyue, this is the address and phone number of Auntie's house, our two families will contact more in the future, I will bring Taotao back to play with you every Chinese New Year." ”

She has lost one of the most important people and cannot repeat the mistakes of the past, feeling that her mother still has a lot of time.

Jiang Fanyue solemnly put it away: "I will often write to Taotao in the future." ”

Mu Shulan smiled and said, "Taotao's storybooks are too heavy, we don't plan to take them back, and his cousin doesn't like to read them, if it's convenient, can you go to his grandmother's house with your mother and take those storybooks." ”

Jiang Fanyue was stunned, subconsciously raised her head, and crashed into Mu Shulan's gentle and smiling eyes.

"Thank you, Aunt Mu." She whispered.

"Thanks for what." Mu Shulan touched Jiang Fanyue's soft hair, and sighed in her heart, although her son was obedient, it was really her daughter who was more fragrant and soft.

The train entered the station, many passengers picked up their luggage and squeezed onto the car, and Sun Taotao's family was about to leave.

Sun Taotao was led by his parents on the train.

The whistle sounded, and the train moved away slowly.

Sun Taotao was lying on the window, and suddenly shouted to Jiang Fanyue, who was still watching him:

"Sister Yueyue, you must insist on creating a fairy tale world!"

The wind choked into his throat, and he didn't know if Jiang Fanyue had heard what he said.

Soon, his eyes were bent as if they were reflecting a clear spring.

He saw that Jiang Fanyue, who was standing in place, raised his arms above his head, bent his elbows, and made a motion similar to nodding.
