The Era of Hard Work

Leaving the development zone and returning to the local county seat, the sky has already darkened. I have to wait for Boss Xing's reply, and I have to go to another county's factory to visit. It is unrealistic to return to Quannan, and I must stay here for one night.

Lv Jianren drove Santana all the way along the main road of the county town. Lao Song could see some signs for parking and accommodation through the car window.

Let's find a small hotel for one night. Lao Song's generation naturally saves as much as they can: There seems to be a lot on this street.

Song Na said, Dad, the small hotel is not safe.

Lao Song pointed to the entrance of the alley in front: Why don't you go and see this place?

Lu Jianren didn't speak, the car came to the entrance of the alley, the sky was getting darker, many places inside were lit with pink lights, and there were women standing at the door of some.

Lao Song has been in the university city for a year, and he is not unfamiliar. He took a look and said quickly: Lao Qi, let's find a big hotel.

Lu Dong also glanced over there, he had already seen the strange things these days, out of respect for the elders, he asked, Uncle Song, why don't we go directly to the county guest house?

Nowadays, most of the county guest houses in various places belong to public institutions, Lao Song nodded: Okay, go to the county guest house.

Passing by the entrance of the next alley, the pink lights inside made Lu Dong and Song Na turn their heads to look there again, which was exactly the same as the previous alley.

If there were only Lu Dong and Lu Jianren, all kinds of jokes would be thrown around.

But Song Na and her father are here, and they can't talk nonsense.

The atmosphere in the car was a bit dull, so Lu Jianren simply turned on the radio.

Liu Ruoying's new song released last year sounded: Later, I finally understood through tears that some people will not be there once they miss it.

The county guest house here is on the same street as the county government compound. Not far forward, you can see a three-story building. Just this way, the county guest house is also one of the most magnificent buildings.

After all, most of the county guest houses have to take on the important task of receiving various units at the higher level these years.

When I came to the lobby of the guest house, when I opened the room, the waiter saw Lu Dong and Song Na talking next to each other, and reminded, Are you married? You need a marriage certificate to live in the same room!

Lu Dong knew that it was normal to ask for a marriage certificate these days, so he simply said, Open four rooms.

Song Na was about to take out the money, but Lu Dong had already handed over the money, and the two of them were not so polite, so she immediately took back the wallet.

The four of them put their luggage in the room and went to the restaurant of the hostel for dinner. The fried chicken here is very famous. Lu Dong ordered one and talked while eating.

Lao Song asked: If it doesn't work here, shall we go to another place?

Song Na thought for a while and said, If it's not possible, we will cooperate with factories in the south. Their prices are not expensive, but the freight needs to wait for time.

The speed of logistics is incomparable with the future, and the timeliness is much worse. This is also an important factor for choosing the nearest one.

Lu Dong opened a bottle of wine and poured it for Uncle Qi and Dad Song: After a long day in the car, drink something to relieve fatigue.

People were outside, Song Na reminded: Drink less, just this bottle.

Lu Dong didn't drink, and said, I won't drink any more.

There's nothing like home outside, and it doesn't hurt to be careful.

Don't look at it as a county guest house, if you drink too much and sleep too much, things can still be stolen by people.

The four chatted while eating, and the topic was jewelry. In fact, Quannan also has a small workshop, but it is a single type. It can only produce a certain type of product, which does not meet the needs of warm business.

Going back after dinner, Song Na and Lu Dong walked behind.

Now I can only follow others, and I have been in the copycat imitation stage for a long time. Song Na saw it very clearly, and whispered to Lu Dong while walking: Fashion accessories belong to fast fashion, and it takes a lot of money to keep up with the trend. The time to travel to the market is to see more and learn more. In the future, if you can grasp the market trends, and even design to lead the market trend, the following products will not worry about not being sold.”

Lu Dong told the truth: Hei Dan, I don't know much about this business, so I can't give you much advice. I just thought, if you want to be bigger and stronger, you must pay attention to high-quality goods.

Based on his observations in Song Na's store, the unit price of small accessories differed by one or two yuan, and the difference in quality could be seen at a glance.

Song Na agreed, and said: I am also constantly making adjustments. After the company was formally established, I found out the grade distribution that is most suitable for college students and young professionals in the workplace. Basically, the middle grade is 50%, and the low grade is 50%. Thirty, high-end 20%, this distribution may not be the best, but it is relatively stable.

She continued to tell Lv Dong: If the quality is too bad, I basically don't want it. Building a brand is completely different from setting up a street stall. Ensuring quality is very important, and it can attract more repeat customers for the store.

From these words, Lu Dong could see Song Na's growth in business. After more than a year, Heidan was no longer a Heidan who just came out of the mountains to work hard.

Lu Dong really wanted to give Song Na a hug, but the old Song in front of her suddenly turned around, and Lu Dong's unstretched hand was put into his pocket again.

Turning from the stairwell to the second floor where he lived, Lu Dong's cell phone rang, but it was Yu Zhanlong calling.

Not in the university town? Yu Zhanlong asked

Lu Dong walked a few steps towards the deserted side of the corridor: No, Uncle Yu, I'm in County X, Mengcheng, and I'm here with Song Na to find a processor, and I'll be back tomorrow night at the earliest.

Yu Zhanlong said: I just passed by the Innovation Port of the Provincial University, so it's fine if I'm not here. He remembered the place name Lu Dong said: Mengcheng County X, what a coincidence. Lu Dong, just in time, I entrust you with something, This guy Ma Ming is in County X following his new mentor for archaeology. He doesn’t even make a phone call when he’s busy. Pull back.

Lu Dong had no choice but to say, Uncle Yu, Ma Ming is also doing business.

Yu Zhanlong also knew that it would be difficult for a strong man to pull him back. After thinking for a while, he said on the phone: You go and see what's going on first. You young people are easy to communicate with. Let Ma Ming come back early. His mother hasn't seen him for half a year. gone.

Lu Dong will definitely go over this trivial matter, and said: Okay, Uncle Ma, I must go over here to have a look after I finish my work, I will call Ma Ming first.

Lu Dong had seen Ma Ming's enthusiasm and spirit of inquiry for archeology before. If he came across a project he was interested in, it would not be uncommon for him to wait until the end of the year to go back.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Dong looked for Ma Ming's number and called it. The signal over there was not good, and the conversation was intermittent. Most of the time, he couldn't hear what people said at all.

Lu Dong understood why Ma Ming didn't call home anymore. With this kind of signal quality, making a call is really bad.

As for what he said here and what Ma Ming replied, neither of them probably heard clearly.

Just when he was about to go back, Lu Dong's cell phone rang again, this time it was a call from a landline. Seeing that the cell phone signal was not working, Ma Ming simply borrowed someone else's landline.

Now that he could finally hear clearly, Lu Dong told Ma Ming that he was here to discuss business. He heard that Ma Ming and his mentor were here to inspect the ancient sites, and he planned to go and have a look.

What Yu Zhanlong said about Lama Ming's return to Quannan will be discussed later when we meet, and it is definitely inappropriate to mention it now.

Ma Ming was very happy when he heard that Lu Dong was coming, and told Lu Dong: My mentor and I have discovered something here, and we have found something. You can come and have a look if you have time. The place I am in is under Gaoguan Town. It’s not hard to find a village in this village, if you inquire carefully on the way.”

Lu Dong said, Okay, I'll go there the day after tomorrow if not tomorrow.

Gaoguan town? Lu Dong had the impression that he took the wrong road in the afternoon, as if he had been there before.

Uncle Qi is very good at remembering the way, and he probably can find it without asking.

Lu Dong put away his phone and went back to his room. Song Na came out from the door diagonally across from him and asked, What's the matter?

She was worried that there was an urgent matter at Lu Dong's company, so she asked Lu Dong to go back first if it didn't work.

A little thing. Lu Dong said simply: Uncle Ma's son Ma Ming is studying archeology at the provincial university. I'm free to go and have a look.

He pondered for a while: If tomorrow is too late, let's go there the day after tomorrow and return to Quannan one day later.

Song Na was not in a hurry, and said, Okay, people take care of us so much, we can't even shirk such a small matter.

Lu Dong said: You wash and rest early, and you have been driving all day. He pointed to the door opposite: I will tell Uncle Song and Uncle Qi.

It's not a big deal, and the two of them naturally have no objections.

Probably because of the county guest house, there was nothing messy, and I slept soundly that night. Just after breakfast the next day, Song Na received a call from Boss Xing, who asked where they were. He simply went to the county directly.

With the temptation of doubling the operating income in front of him, Boss Xing finally decided to go on the ship of Wenxin Trading, which seemed to have great potential.

Of course, it is impossible to exchange shares. This is obviously impractical. Zhengjia Processing Factory is just a factory that has just opened limited sales channels in the wholesale market, and it does not even have a brand.

In fact, Song Na didn't ask much. She only asked Boss Xing to give Wenxin Trading a normal ex-factory wholesale price, and then add Wenxin Trading's cross WX LOGO on the large goods, and small pieces on the packaging or background paper. A more obvious embodiment of the trademark of warm business.

At this stage, Wenxin Trading has no design ability and can only adopt the method of copycat imitation, which is not difficult for the processing factory.

Designing this area can only be done slowly, there is no use in haste.

To put it bluntly, except for the trademark of Wenxin Business, the processing factory is not much different from the wholesale factory in other aspects.

In line with the principle of negotiating a little bit, the two sides had a seesaw-style talk all morning before they reached an agreement.

With the income doubled, coupled with the information he obtained, Boss Xing became more realistic.

Wenxin Trading signed an exclusive OEM supply agreement with Zhengjia Processing Factory at a price nearly 30% lower than the wholesale price of the goods purchased from the West Market. Costs related to door-to-door delivery or entrusted logistics freight.

The formal agreement will have to wait for Boss Xing to go to Quannan to sign it, and both parties will find professional lawyers to handle it.

At noon, Boss Xing held a banquet at the county guest house to welcome Lu Dong and his party.

Because I had to drive to find Ma Ming in the afternoon, except for Lao Song, Lu Dong and Lu Jianren didn't drink alcohol.
