Zhou Jinghai looked at his son whom he had not seen for half a year, looked at him lovingly and said with a smile: "Thanks to my son, the smooth development of Fuyuan Company now even surprises me. In just one year, semicolons have opened all over Shanxi." Counties, including Beiping, Tianjin, Zhengzhou, Luoyang and Xi'an, also have our semicolon, and they will prepare to develop to the south next year."
Zhou Wen was surprised when he heard that the expansion speed was too amazing. He said, "Is it too fast? After all, stores are easy to find, and it is not easy for shopkeepers and clerks to find suitable ones."
Zhou Jinghai laughed, pointed at Zhou Wen and said, "Haha, don't you understand this? In recent years, your father, I, and your Uncle Lin have also expanded a lot of sales outside the province and made acquaintance with many business people from various places. Friends. The establishment of a semicolon is very simple. Just find a local business that you are familiar with before. Once the plaque is changed, the share sharing agreement is signed, and it is reported to the local government, it will become our semicolon."
"Does that guarantee that I will earn more than I did before?"
"Hey! Don't you know how scarce your purple red medicine is now? As long as there is a stable purchase channel, it will be a cornucopia.
Son, you don’t know, those merchants are all trying to join in, but we have to divide the good ones and take them all in. Besides, our annual quota of purple clear red medicine is only so much, so Unlimited expansion is not possible. So your Uncle Lin has set some rules, including the amount of capital, store size, previous reputation, etc. Only those who meet these regulations can become our semicolon.
No, in less than a year, our branches have basically spread all over the north. "
After Zhou Wen listened, he admired his father and Uncle Lin so much. Isn't this the model of franchise stores in later generations? Now it's been thought up by business wizards like father and Uncle Lin. Aren't those rules just standardization? Awesome, really awesome.
The franchise store model is indeed the fastest-expanding, most economical and labor-saving business model. You don’t have to invest much financial resources and manpower. As long as you have business ideas or products that can bring profits to others, a branch store can They sprung up like mushrooms after a rain and spread all over the place in a short time.
Zhou Jinghai saw the admiration in his son's eyes, and before he could speak, he opened his mouth and smiled contentedly: "Hehehe... How about it? Your father and I are not old yet, are we? This shopping mall matter is not yours yet. Dad, I can’t do it, but next year you have to find a way to increase the quota of purple clear and red medicine for our store. There will be too much food for the monks."
Zhou Wen gave his father a thumbs up and praised: "Dad, you are so awesome. My son is proud of you. The production of Ziqinghong medicine will definitely increase next year, and the quota will naturally increase by then. Let's semicolon There are so many, there will definitely be no shortage of raw materials. But when you sell, you still have to remind everyone, don't let Little Japan take advantage of it, we can sell it to anyone, just not to Little Japan."
Zhou Jinghai took a sip of tea and said, "We're all keeping an eye on it. It's hard to say about the retail ones, but don't even think about buying them in bulk."
Then Zhou Jinghai asked calmly: "Are you preparing for war recently?"
After hearing this, Zhou Wen reached out to hold the tea cup and said with a smile: "What's the matter? My son, doesn't he miss you? I just came back to see you, and brought Hongxiu with me. Their school also Now that you are on vacation, let her stay with you for a while."
Zhou Jinghai didn't say anything, but gestured with his eyes to Huang Ma, who was waiting nearby. Huang Ma bowed and walked out, closing the door behind her.
When only the father and son were left in the room, Zhou Jinghai smiled slightly and said: "There has been news from Semicolon that all your soldiers have gone home for the holidays. They have a holiday when the Chinese New Year is only more than a month away. That’s what it means to not have a holiday during the Spring Festival. If we don’t have a holiday for such a major festival, wouldn’t that mean we’re going to have a war or something like that?
Although your father and I have never been in the army or fought in the past few years, we have never eaten pork and have seen pigs running away, right? In the past, the commander-in-chief would not let the soldiers go home for the New Year only during wars.
Another one, son, dad taught you to be a good boy. You have never lied since you were a child, but occasionally you laugh when you tell lies, and when you smile, one eye is big and the other is small. That is what your dad and I can do. Discover this feature.
Haha, your smile just now...hahaha! "
Zhou Wen was shocked when he heard this. Even his father noticed what he had done. There was no guarantee that someone with a heart would also notice. This was really a bit careless. What the hell is it that one has big eyes and one has small eyes when he tells a lie? Is it that obvious? Besides, we just had a holiday today, how come dad knew about it?
Zhou Jinghai looked at his confused son, laughed again, and said: "Don't think blindly, most people are not as sensitive as your father and I, and think so deeply. As for the news, hehe, you don't know Are all the counties along the Taijun Highway now connected with telephones? Thanks to Chenghao, we now have a telephone at home. Early in the morning, the branch office in Qingyuan County called to report the situation. I guessed you Might want to come back too.”
Only then did Zhou Wen realize that no matter how fast the car was, could it be faster with a phone? It is convenient for one of you to be the county magistrate. There is even a telephone installed at home, so it will be even more convenient to contact you in the future. This is a great joy.
However, in the face of his father's worries and speculations hidden behind his eyes, Zhou Wen had no choice but to tell the truth about his judgment. He didn't want his father to worry too much. In the end, he said easily: "My child, this is just a conjecture. Prepare for a rainy day. When the time comes, No one knows whether it will really happen, maybe it was a false alarm by the son himself."
Zhou Jinghai knew what his son was capable of. Since he was so prepared, it meant that there was probably going to be a war. But Zhou Jinghai also supported Zhou Wen's ambition, and didn't want to hold him back, nor did he want him to see his worries, so he pretended to be relaxed and said: "Just be prepared. If something really happens, just go and don't worry about it at home." You are worried, your father has arranged everything for you, even for the families of your subordinates, so that you will have no worries."
But although the words were said lightly, Zhou Jinghai knew in his heart that if there was a real war, it would not be the civil war with some bottom line like the former commander-in-chief and the others, but a duel with the ferocious Japanese soldiers. It would be a national war. Who knows what it will be like How tragic it is, how cruel it will be, but this is my son.
When Zhou Jinghai said the last sentence, he couldn't hold it back and his voice was a little choked.
Zhou Wen knew that it would be redundant to say anything now. Whose parents would remain indifferent to their children who were about to embark on the battlefield? He just walked to his father, knelt down on the ground, just like he did when he was a child, and gently placed his head on the ground. On his father's lap, he put his hands around his waist and whispered, "I will be back."
Zhou Jinghai couldn't control it anymore. He held his son's head and burst into tears instantly...
