this day.
Yang Chen and Gu Jia set off for Xiangxi.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Xu Huanshan drove them to the airport.
Yang Chen looked at Gu Jia.
Today she wore a new ultra-gray jacket and a pair of tight jeans, with a pure white base layer underneath. She was refreshing and capable, and her long hair was tied into a bun, which gave her a girlish look.
Terminal, lobby.
"Honey, you have to be careful when you get there. Ask the driver not to drive too fast on the road. The mountain road is not easy to walk. We are not in a hurry. Also, it is cooler in the village at night. Remember to wear more clothes to avoid catching a cold... ..." Xu Huanshan took Gu Jia's hand and told her.
"Okay, I got it." Gu Jia responded with a smile, his expression was natural and there was nothing unusual about it.
"Mr. Yang, I'm really bothering you this time. I'm really worried about Jiajia going there alone, and I have to ask you to take more care of her." Xu Huanshan shook hands with Yang Chen again and said politely.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Sister Jia." Yang Chen smiled. "Mr. Xu and Sister Jia have been married for so many years, and they are still as loving as ever. They really envy others!"
"Being able to marry such a good woman as Jiajia is the greatest luck in my life. I must cherish it. Not only now, but also in the future. I must cherish it for the rest of my life." Xu Huanshan looked at Gu Jia and said He had a fond smile on his face and said the same love words as before.
Seeing Xu Huanshan's appearance, Gu Jia felt a little uncomfortable and had very complicated emotions.
If she had heard Xu Huanshan say this before, it would have been very helpful.
But now, she already knew that Xu Huanshan was having an affair with another woman outside. When she heard what he said again, she felt that he was very hypocritical.
Is this still the same person I know?
If I hadn't known the truth this time, I would have been deceived by him.
How many things is he hiding from himself?
In addition, she was also a little guilty about the decision she made, but there was also a bit of pleasure in the guilt, and for a while, mixed feelings surged in her heart.
"Okay, don't be numb. It's almost time and we should pull into the station." Gu Jia looked at his watch and said to Xu Huanshan.
"Okay, be careful on the road, and remember to call me when you get there." Xu Huanshan waved to her.
"I got it, go back quickly!" Gu Jia also waved, then bowed and entered the security check.
Soon, the two of them boarded the plane smoothly.
"Give it to me and I'll help you."
Yang Chen took the suitcase from Gu Jia and put it on the luggage rack.
"Thank you." Gu Jia thanked him gently.
"You're welcome, this is what a man should do. And I promised Mr. Xu that I would take good care of you. Of course I can't break my promise." Yang Chen chuckled.
"No need, I can take care of myself." Seeing Yang Chen's meaningful smile, Gu Jia felt ashamed and annoyed, but she said calmly and expressionlessly.
"Really? Then why did you ask me to come over?" Yang Chen said with a pun.
"I invited Mr. Yang to come, of course, to inspect the tea factory. The tea factory also has your share, right?" Gu Jia said calmly, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Yang Chen's words, barely maintaining this fig leaf. .
"Haha, just take it as such."
Yang Chen smiled and stopped teasing her, so as not to make her angry and break up.
…
afternoon.
The two arrived at the mountain village.
"Let me introduce to you, this is the director of the tea factory and the head of this village. This Mr. Yang is the largest investor in our tea factory. We are here to inspect and invest in the tea factory. , let the tea factory resume production as soon as possible." Gu Jia introduced both parties.
"Hello, village chief." Yang Chen nodded.
"Boss Yang, Boss Gu, it's great that you are here. We are all looking forward to your coming soon." The village chief said enthusiastically. It can be seen that he cares about this tea factory very much.
"Don't worry, village chief. Since we are here, we will not let the tea factory go bankrupt. Not only that, we will also increase investment, expand the tea factory, improve the productivity of the tea factory, and let the villagers live a good life as soon as possible." After all, Yang Chen has also been a boss, so he speaks very smoothly in these situations.
"Great, great! Come, I will take you to the tea factory to have a look." The village chief said excitedly.
"Okay." Yang Chen nodded.
The village chief led the way, followed by Yang Chen and Gu Jia.
The three of them walked on the wet stone path in the village.
"I came here just for an inspection, but I haven't said I want to invest yet. Why did you make the decision for me?" Yang Chen glanced at Gu Jia and joked in a low voice.
"Didn't you also say that you want to expand the tea factory?" Gu Jia asked.
"I said that just for your sake. As for whether it can be implemented, it depends on your performance." Yang Chen said with a smile.
"Huh." Gu Jia snorted lightly and said no more.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the tea factory.
This place is more like an old-fashioned workshop than a tea factory. Many villagers are drying, frying, sorting, and rolling tea in the yard, making it a busy scene.
Yang Chen scanned around and found that most of the workers in the workshop were women and children, old and young. There were almost no young and strong labor force. They probably all went to work outside.
"Everyone, please stop, Boss Gu and Boss Yang are here to visit you!" the village chief said loudly.
"Hello, Boss Gu, Hello, Boss Yang."
The villagers stopped what they were doing and greeted them loudly.
"There is no boss here. My name is Gu Jia. You can just call me Gu Jia." Gu Jia's tone was very easy-going, and her simple words brought her closer to the villagers.
"Hello Gu Jia!"
The villagers changed their words and shouted.
Seeing the smiles on the faces of the villagers, Gu Jia's mood became cheerful.
Yang Chen stood aside and said nothing, giving all the opportunities to express himself to Gu Jia. After all, Gu Jia would still be in charge of the tea factory in the future, and he was too lazy to worry about this small business.
"Okay, everyone, let's continue working." The village chief waved his hand.
The villagers continued to be busy.
Then, Gu Jia asked the factory director for instructions on the tea making process.
As a tea factory owner, although you may not necessarily be proficient in making tea, you must at least know how tea is produced, what each process does, what kind of tea is high-quality, and what kind of tea is defective.
If something goes wrong with the product, you know what went wrong and how to fix it.
Time passed by unconsciously, and by the time Gu Jia briefly understood the steps of making tea, it was already dark.
night.
Yang Chen came outside Gu Jia's house and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Gu Jia's voice came from the room.
"Me." Yang Chen said.
"What's the matter?" Gu Jia asked knowingly.
"I'm here to discuss investment with you." Yang Chen said.
"It's too late today, how about tomorrow." Gu Jia said.
"Boss Gu, is this how you treat investors? As a professional investor, I have to consider not only the potential of the company, but also the ability of the person in charge. Because of your attitude, I think I need to re- Think about it and whether you should change your mind." Yang Chen said.
There was silence in the room for a moment, then footsteps sounded, and then the door slowly opened a crack.
"Come in!" Gu Jia said.
Like a nimble swimming fish, Yang Chen slipped in through the crack in the door, then hugged Gu Jia into his arms, closed the door with his backhand, and lowered the latch.
"Well……"
Gu Jia looked a little panicked, and just opened her mouth, but before the words came out, she was blocked by Yang Chen.
She is not a child. Now that she has spoken, she must have been mentally prepared.
How could Yang Chen be polite to her and go straight to the point.
The more entangled this kind of thing becomes, the more troublesome it becomes.
Just like what is said in a song, be as simple as you want. This is the philosophy my mother told me...
Gu Jia struggled a little and then slowly responded.
In a daze, the two of them fell on the bed.
Just when Yang Chen was about to open the blind box, Gu Jia suddenly held his hand and said with a little pleading in his tone: "Just this time, okay?"
"good."
Yang Chen said without thinking.
After listening to his words, Gu Jia seemed to have given herself an explanation to let down her guard, so she no longer resisted...

…
The next day, before dawn, Yang Chen slipped out of Gu Jia's house.
During the meal, the two met again. Gu Jia greeted him as if nothing had happened, and then said, "You also visited it yesterday. What do you think of the situation of this tea factory?"
"I already know the situation in the tea factory. The equipment is old, the workers are scattered, the working methods are outdated, the production efficiency is low, and the production capacity is extremely unstable. Except for the good skills of the tea-making masters, there is basically nothing to do. Think about it. It is easy for a tea factory to resume production, but it is not easy to achieve large-scale production," Yang Chen said.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Gu Jia said immediately.
"Updated production equipment, formulated an effective assessment system, and improved the enthusiasm of workers." Yang Chen briefly stated three points.
"Updating equipment and formulating new systems will cost a lot of money." Gu Jia looked at him.
"I knew you were waiting for me here. If I don't give you an answer today, I'm afraid I won't have anywhere to sleep at night. Don't worry, what I said means it. How much does it cost to purchase a batch of the latest production equipment? "Yang Chen laughed.
Gu Jia thought for a moment and stretched out five fingers.
"It's almost five million. In addition to purchasing equipment, we also have to pay fines for organic labeling and handle prosecution cases..." she explained.
"I will invest 10 million for you, and the other 5 million will be used for marketing." Yang Chen interrupted her directly, "In the tea business, the biggest cost is not the tea itself, but the sales. You use these If you have enough money, find a reliable product public relations company to promote the Kongshan Tea brand and open up sales channels."
"Ten million. In this case, the total investment will reach 13 million. The shares will be redivided according to the investment ratio..." Gu Jia's face was filled with joy, and then he began to calculate silently.
"Don't forget it, you can take 20%, and the extra part will be regarded as equity incentives. Anyway, you are mainly responsible for running this tea factory. It's not that I am stingy and I can't bear to give you a little more, but if you get divorced, the tea factory will As a common asset, you will get half of your share. If you are the only one, it doesn't matter if the tea factory is all given to you." Yang Chen explained seriously.
"Um."
Gu Jia glanced at him and nodded gently, without dwelling on this issue.
…
In the afternoon, the village chief took them to visit the tea garden again.
The terrain of this village is mountainous, and it is surrounded by rolling mountains. It cannot grow food, but can only grow tea.
Yang Chen looked around and saw that the hillside was covered with circles of low tea trees, with distinct layers, as if the mountain was covered with a green... grass skirt.
"No matter how highly mechanized it is, we still have to rely on manual picking. You have to identify the best and tenderest tea leaves, and then pinch the tips with your fingers. This step cannot be completely replaced by machines." The village chief explained while showing them around. road.
"It seems that I want to learn more from you." Gu Jia said humbly.
"How can you city people do this? You are quite handy." The village chief said with a smile.
"Can our tea really meet the organic standards for inspection?" Gu Jia asked again.
"Our tea can even meet the international standards for export, but those big tea gardens cannot." The village chief said.
"Why? I always believe that mechanization and standardization can achieve quality control." Gu Jiadao.
"People are too superstitious about mechanization now. The big tea gardens are highly mechanized. Why? Because they are close to the city, there are many people, many cars, and there is a lot of pollution. The real organic and pollution-free tea mountains must be ours in the deep mountains." The village chief With a long sigh, "We are poor just because the Chaxiang Mountain is too deep..."
"We are here this time to solve this problem and find a way to spread the fragrance of tea here." Gu Jia said.
"Is it really possible?" The village chief was full of expectations.
"It must be possible!" Gu Jia said confidently.
…
After returning, Gu Jia and Yang Chen discussed again.
"What do you think of the tea gardens here?"
"Not bad. I took a quick look. Although this tea garden is not as good as the village chief said, it is not bad. Even if it is not as good as the top ten famous teas, it is better than most teas on the market... ...This is the biggest advantage of this tea factory!" Yang Chen said.
"Ordinary tea on the market costs about 200 to 300 yuan per catty. When Mrs. Li was running the business, the tea produced here sold for more than 200 yuan. After one year, we can barely break even and make no money at all. If we want to , it must be made into a brand, so as to maximize the value of tea. I have already thought about it, the tea here is called Kongshan tea, what do you think?" Gu Jia expressed his thoughts.
"Your idea is right, and the name is okay." Yang Chen nodded, agreed with her idea, and said, "In addition to building a brand, we can also divide Kongshan Tea into ordinary tea and fine tea. For each grade, ordinary tea is just a little more expensive than the tea on the market, and high-quality tea directly sells for more than a thousand yuan. When new equipment is purchased, the production capacity of the tea factory will be greatly improved, with an annual production of 30,000 to 50,000 kilograms of tea. It shouldn’t be a problem. If we can sell all the tea leaves, we can make back the investment in almost a year.”
"If we can recoup our investment in the first year, we can expand production and buy a few more production lines in the second year, and we may be able to earn tens of millions in one year." Gu Jia also fell into fantasy.
"Haha, if you think about it this way, we won't have to sell tea in the third year. We will directly promote the brand concept and IPO. When the little clock strikes, the money will come in like running water." Yang Chen laughed.
"That's right, we can go public in three years, and we will be the founders of the listed company by then." Gu Jia became more and more excited as he spoke, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly, with a look of longing on his face.
"Haha, didn't you hear that I was being sarcastic? If it were really that easy to do, someone would have done it long ago." Yang Chen poured a basin of cold water on her.
"I can't even think about it? It all depends on people. If others can't do it, it doesn't mean we can't do it either." Gu Jia rolled her eyes at him charmingly.
I have to say that what Zhang Ailing said is indeed very reasonable.
Since the two had a deep spiritual communication, Gu Jia's attitude towards him has undergone a 180-degree change. From being indifferent to him before, he suddenly became close to him.
And this transformation happened very naturally, without any deliberateness or reluctance.
At night.
Yang Chen knocked on Gu Jia's door again.
"What's the matter?" Gu Jia asked in the room.
"I have some new ideas about the Kongshan Tea brand. Let's discuss it." Yang Chen said.
"Can't we tell tomorrow?" Gu Jia said.
"No, I just had an idea. I'm afraid I'll forget it tomorrow." Yang Chen gave a reason that no one would believe.
As a result, after a few seconds of silence in the room, the door slowly opened.
Yang Chen stepped in, closed the door with his backhand, then picked up Gu Jia and walked to the bed.
"What are you doing? Didn't you promise me, just once?"
Gu Jia put on a very resistant look and struggled hard, but kept her voice low.
"I promised you, but you also said that you can come again."
"When did I say that?"
"Just last night, I asked you if you were feeling well and if you wanted to come again? You said you wanted to..."
Hearing Yang Chen's words, Gu Jia couldn't help but think of the scene where he spoke, and his face suddenly turned red.
"I was... I just said it casually, it can't be counted!"
"Haha, actually I just said it casually, it doesn't count."
After saying that, Yang Chen blocked her mouth.
Since words don’t count, then stop talking.
…
In the afternoon of the next day, the plane landed at Hongqiao Airport.
After getting off the plane, Gu Jia returned to his cold demeanor and said to Yang Chen: "Our deal is over. No one should mention it again, and don't come to me again."
"good."
Yang Chen agreed immediately, but his appearance was very perfunctory.
"I mean it seriously." Gu Jia said seriously.
"I know, didn't I agree too?" Yang Chen shrugged nonchalantly, making it clear that he was just perfunctory.
"You...hum!"
Gu Jia glared at him, but could do nothing about him. She snorted and walked quickly towards the exit of the plane.
As soon as the two of them came out of the station, they saw Xu Huanshan coming to pick them up.
"Honey, thank you for your hard work. You look good. Are you tired?"
Xu Huanshan took the suitcase from Gu Jia with genuine concern.
"fine."
Gu Jia smiled, and when Xu Huanshan said that she looked good, she couldn't help but glance at Yang Chen.
"Mr. Yang, thank you very much for your hard work this time. I heard from Jiajia that I have asked you to help me a lot in the past two days."
Xu Huanshan shook hands with Yang Chen again, politely.
"Really? Why don't I remember? When it comes to taking care of me, it's Sister Jia who takes care of me."
Yang Chen glanced at Gu Jia and said with a smile.
"Haha, Mr. Yang is too polite. Friends should take care of each other. Let's go, the car is over there."
Xu Huanshan led the two of them to the parking lot and said as they walked.
"Honey, how do you feel about taking the exam this time?"
"It's not bad, the harvest is good. In the past two days, we have carefully inspected all the production links of the tea factory. Although there are many problems in the factory, such as old equipment, scattered workers, and insufficient production capacity, there are also many advantages. First of all, , the mountains have not been over-exploited, the environment is fresh, and the tea grown is of good quality. Secondly, the people in the village make a living from tea, and their skills and experience in picking and making tea are very good. As long as new production equipment is introduced, the production capacity I will be promoted soon. Moreover, Mr. Yang has promised me that he will increase the amount of investment. As long as the sales process is done well, the tea factory will soon be able to generate profits," Gu Jia said.
"Really? Mr. Yang, you are a great benefactor to our family. You don't know that Jiajia hasn't slept well for several days because of the tea factory." Xu Huanshan said.
"Mr. Xu is too polite. I only invest when I see a profit. And I believe that even without me, Jia Jia's ability can still attract investment. I have to thank Jia Jia for giving me this opportunity to make money." Yeah." Yang Chen laughed.
"No, we are grateful for Mr. Yang's trust. Mr. Yang can rest assured that we will run the tea factory conscientiously and never let down Mr. Yang's trust in us." Xu Huanshan said.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to help me make money." Yang Chen smiled.
The two talked for a while and then drove back amidst peaceful laughter.
…
After returning home, Yang Chen immediately transferred the investment promised to Gu Jia to her.

After closing the properties panel, Yang Chen picked up his phone and looked at the text messages. The balance in the card had reached 250 million. It was a waste to put so much money in the card. It was time to travel again.
Apart from time travel, he couldn't think of anything else to spend his time on.
However, before traveling through time, he still went to meet Zhong Xiaoqin, Wang Manni, Xu Li and others, and had a warm relationship with them.
