[043] Pine window chess strike
The haze of natural disasters has not yet dissipated, and the pace of summer vacation has quietly approached.
As the college entrance examination approaches, the motherland is surrounded by the north and south of the country. The city and county middle schools have a holiday in advance to prepare for the college entrance examination. Fang Chang'an also took this opportunity to take Shen Mo and Wang Ke back to his hometown again.
The two of them came here this time, or to be precise, Shen Mo came here this time to catch "Tang Monk's flesh", that is, Jin Cicada.
As early as the beginning of school after the Spring Festival, Shen Mo asked about this because of some frozen cicadas sent by Fang Chang'an. He learned that he had missed so many times. It was a pity that Fang Chang'an took the opportunity to "bewitch" it.
Now that the college entrance examination is on holiday and the weather is getting warmer, she finds an excuse to live at her grandparents' house and makes an appointment with Shen Mo to go there together.
On the afternoon of the 4th, we went home after holiday. Fang Lujun and Shen Chengyan were both at home, busy opening a store.
Fang Lujun no longer cared about the stuffed buns in the town because he was too busy at all.
In the past six months, three new stores have been opened in the city, including the Normal University store, and two others are located in Nancheng and Xicheng. They are both old town areas, near the school, and those with no household registration are not allowed, and they have not opened yet.
In addition, there is also a store in the county town, located at the exit of the Commercial City. It is the best location among the four new stores and the most expensive one. It is more expensive than the rent of the two stores in the city. It has opened before the May Day holiday.
Several stores hire store managers, whose salary is directly linked to performance, and at the same time sign a contract, plus cash registers and monitoring, there is no problem with safety, and you are only worried about business.
Nowadays, the trend is all about foreign big brands. Fortunately, the positioning of "Qingyun" is the low-end market. Foreign big brands look down on this little cake, and their main competitors are domestic manufacturers.
Fang Changan still continued the strategy of the first Qingyun Shoe Store, blocking pricing and after-sales service, and adding a certain "pin Xixi" spirit. Whether you buy it yourself or pull someone else, you can get one free of five.
In order to leave profit margins, the county and city shoe stores cut off 9.9 shoes, and only two stores in the town sold them. However, the city and county shoe stores also retain a certain amount of such shoes as gifts.
Fang Chang'an was originally worried that the factory had just started to do it, but the quality was not up to standard. Later, he found that this thing had little to do with proficiency, or it had nothing to do with the boss's proficiency, because most of the workers recruited were skilled workers. Even if it was not, this assembly line division of labor could be quickly used except for very few technical positions.
The quality of shoes is more often determined by whether the boss is willing to improve the quality.
Shen Chengyan has been in business for several years and is no longer as naive as before, but he has no doubt still not become a capitalist. Fang Lujun is even an amateur. When it comes to shoes produced in the factory, he has no sense of being a boss at all. Most of the time he still has the perspective of "I want to buy such shoes" consumers, and the standards are naturally strict.
During this period, the factory only opened an assembly line and was still in overcapacity, so there was no such thing as rushing to ship the goods. There was enough time and energy to make a living.
Of course, the most important thing is that you have made plans to lose money in the early stage - anyway, you can make money by buying stocks for nothing.
In short, in terms of quality and after-sales service, Fang Changan can guarantee that looking around the world, at least among shoes of the same price, "Qingyun" is definitely awesome.
He even gave Shen Mo and Wang Ke and others a pair.
During dinner, Chen Chengyan and Fang Lujun talked about these things, and they couldn't help but complain about Fang Chang'an first, and then talked about some troubles in the factory that they had not considered before. For example, shoes of different prices had to use different materials, but there was only one production line, fabric, soles, etc., and they all followed the assembly line. Others, such as glue, lasts, standards, etc., were more troublesome, so they had to go from "good" to everything, expensive and tiring...
Fang Lujun spent more time with Chen Chengyan than his wife in the past six months. He relied on his son to maintain a relationship more closely than before, and his attitude became much more casual, so more bad habits were exposed.
He drank some wine, patted Fang Chang'an's shoulder and began to sing high-profile habitually, such as "Your dad is not capable, this factory is built by your Uncle Chen", "Uncle Chen is our family's great benefactor", "You brother and sister must remember, be grateful", etc.
Chen Chengyan was a little funny and quickly refused. Fang Chang'an took the opportunity to serve a glass of wine and said to Chen Chengyan: "Uncle Chen, although my father has drunk some wine, these words are indeed true. If I didn't meet you, I don't know what I am now..."
Chen Chengyan waved his hand and signaled that he didn't need to say this.
Fang Changan smiled and said, "If you don't dislike me, when I start a business in the future, I will definitely leave you three points of shares."
Fang Lujun was stunned for a moment, wondering if he had heard it wrong, and asked vaguely: "How many? How many? What are the three points?"
Fang Chang'an and Chen Chengyan clinked their glasses, drank the beer inside, sat down and smiled, "Three percent."
"How many three percent?"
Fang Lujun slapped the table, "Thirty is not enough, are you still three o'clock?"
Fang Changan smiled and said, "Three points don't sound much, but it depends on who it is. One percent of Apple's shares are about 10 billion, one percent of Microsoft's shares are worth more than 20 billion, and one percent of China Mobile's shares are 30 billion..."
Fang Lujun glared and said, "Why don't you say that the whole of China belongs to you?"
Fang Changan smiled and said, "I dare not."
Chen Chengyan talked to Chen Chengli about Fang Changan and knew that this little guy had an extraordinary situation, but naturally he didn't think Fang Changan could build a company that was comparable to Apple and Microsoft.
To put it more realistically, in his opinion, Fang Changan will most likely rely on the buns and shoe stores that have laid the foundation in the future.
But this does not prevent Fang Chang'an from working hard before failing. Anyway, with these two things to base, you will not lose all at once.
The next morning, Shen Mo came to the town. Chen Chengli and Shu Mei had to leave for the evening flight. She sent her parents away in the afternoon, and then quietly touched Fang Chang'an's house.
"Fang Chang'an?"
"Fang Chang'an!"
"Are you at home?"
The sun was still hot, and Fang Chang'an was sitting in the cooler first-floor living room reading a book. When he heard the first sound outside, he thought he had heard it wrong, so he stood up and opened the living room door. He saw Shen Mo holding a lilac parasol and standing in the gap in the unclosed door, looking here with a little shy and joy.
She was wearing a white printed T-shirt and a black skirt hanging above her knees. Her hair was not tied up like in school and draped behind her shoulders. Her black and soft face was still immature, but her whole body no longer looked very young and tender. She only stunned her beauty at first glance, and no longer wondered whether she was in junior high school or high school.
"Come on sneaking?"
Fang Chang'an's eyes lit up, then he walked out, smiled and said, "Come in quickly."
"Um."
Shen Mo noticed his stunning eyes when he saw him, and was a little shy, and responded with a pursed corner of his lips.
Fang Changan had already walked up to her, took the parasol to block the sunlight, walked up to the small stone platform in front of the living room, put the umbrella together, and led her into the room.
"My mother is sleeping, and Changming and Yanran are playing with computers."
Fang Chang'an placed the umbrella on the shelf behind the door and explained to Shen Mo briefly.
"oh."
Shen Mo responded softly, his eyes shining at him, looking a little shy, "Then do I want to say hello now?"
Fang Chang'an smiled and said, "Don't worry, sit for a while, what do you want to drink? There is milk, cold white, Wanglaoji, and Coke...or can I make tea for you?"
Shen Mo thought for a while and said, "Tea."
"good."
Fang Chang'an found the "Biluochun" that came from Chen Chengyan some time ago, and then took out the teapot, tea sea and two tea cups from the cabinet. Shen Mo also helped him get the things and put them on the tea table.
Fang Chang'an sat down next to her and took her hand.
Shen Mo seemed to be on guard. As soon as his claws came out, he held his hand on his legs and blushed and whispered: "No, you will be seen."
"No, there will definitely be a sound when someone goes downstairs."
Fang Changan then put his claws into her thigh-profile skirt that was faintly revealed. Shen Mo was so embarrassed that he clenched his fist and seemed to want to smash it on his head, but he was reluctant. He was afraid that he would really touch his legs. He would still hand him his hand obediently.
It's a little better than touching your legs.
Fang Changan held her tender little hand and said with a timid look: "Can I hug you, okay?"
Shen Mo opened his eyes wide and shook his head like a rattle.
"Just hug me, and then I'll let you go. Let's play chess, okay?"
Shen Mo continued to shake his head.
Fang Changan curled his lips, pinched her weak and boneless little hand, then let go, and took the chessboard, put it on the coffee table, and sat opposite Shen Mo to play chess.
While pouring the tea into the sea of tea, Shen Mo looked at him suspiciously, as if he was very suspicious that he was so honest. Fang Changan rolled his eyes. In order to prevent her from being too nervous, he didn't say that his mother should be about to wake up at this time.
Fang Chang'an's family is now in good living conditions and can be called a well-off society, but after all, it is not a wealthy family. The living room decoration is not elegant, but fortunately it is still quite clean.
The first floor has always been relatively cool. The windows are open and the fan is not stuffy. Instead, it feels cool. The two of them sit opposite each other across the coffee table, occasionally taking a sip of tea, looking up at each other, and listening to the chess pieces hitting the chessboard, which makes them feel leisurely and beautiful.
After she made a move, Fang Changan did not rush to deal with it. He continued to stare at her and smiled: "I just thought of a couplet in "Dream of Red Mansions". Guess which one is it?"
Shen Mo glanced at him and said, "Don't guess."
Fang Chang'an smiled and said, "The tea in Baoding is still green, and the chess in the dark window is still cold."
Shen Mo turned his head and pouted at him, saying, "Where is the treasure ding? Where is the ghost window?"
Fang Changan smiled and said, "If you want it, you will have it in the future."
"I don't care."
Shen Mo glanced at him again, then thrust his mouth and signaled him to play chess, "It's your turn."
The two sentences "Baoding tea is still green in leisure, and the chess in the secluded window is still cool after the fingers are cold" come from Jia Baoyu's mouth. They are the couplets he wrote about Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and Xiaoxiang Pavilion is Lin Daiyu's residence.
Shen Mo didn't want to live in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, nor did he want to be Lin Daiyu. Even if Fang Chang'an clarified many common misunderstandings about Lin Daiyu, she didn't like Lin Daiyu, and she didn't like "Dream of Red Mansions" because the ending was not good.
Of course, you have to look at the ending when reading novels. What’s the point of not having a good ending?
