Chapter 402: Too Careful

"Bingkun, is this your factory?"

"Is it so big? It doesn't match what you said?"

In a simple factory building in Pengcheng that can be protected from wind and rain, and the air is filled with the aroma of medicinal herbs, Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao opened their mouths wide, watching the machines in front of them running, and they were busy working in full swing. The crowd was stunned.

Zhou Bingkun nodded with a smile: "Okay?"

Xiao Guoqing said: "It's not just okay, it's serious."

"Bingkun, if you had told me about this situation earlier, there would be so many things. I won't quarrel with Yu Hong, and I can't beat Wu Qian to a bloody head on National Day. Maybe Debao will come too. ”

Zhou Bingkun glanced at Sun Qianchao and stepped into the factory: "Let's go, I will show you both the situation in our factory, and then arrange work for you two."

Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao looked at each other, shook their heads, and then happily followed in Zhou Bingkun's footsteps...

…

Zhou Bingkun's business is going very smoothly. After all, he is one of the first to do it and has the first opportunity. Coupled with the formula and guidance given by my good brother, it is really unreasonable to fail.

From tea bags at the beginning, to canned herbal tea, and then to beverages, beer and other businesses, this is the mature model that Wang Yan used in his last world. Even if there are competitors, they will inevitably have their own preconceptions. And because the operation is good and small profits are made but quick turnover, business loans are also very convenient.

This is a snowballing process. As long as the foundation is laid well, the scale will only grow day by day. In a few years, Zhou Bingkun has become a famous herbal tea king.

Of course, his fame was only here in the South. For the North, which is several steps behind, no one knows who Zhou Bingkun is except for Zhou Bingkun's relatives who are paying attention. Even Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao, who worked with him, didn't say much when they returned to Jichun.

When someone asked how the south was, it was good. When asked how they were doing with Zhou Bingkun, it was okay. Of course, people are not stupid. After going to the south for two months in 1981, the smell of meat in the homes of Xiao Guoqing and Sun Chanchao increased, and the clothes they wore became newer and more fashionable. Later, they also had color TVs. If you don’t make money, you definitely won’t spend it like that.

Of course, Cao Debao and Qiao Chunyan were also very concerned about it. During the Spring Festival gathering in 1982, they started asking questions. At this time, there is no need to hide it, and there is no way to hide it. Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao only talked about what they saw, because they were not high-ranking people. One was a quality inspector and the other was out for business, so they didn't know too much detail.

But that was enough to shock Cao Debao and Qiao Chunyan, because what they heard was that there were more than 300 factories, imported and modified machinery and equipment, and sold in Guangdong and Guangxi, Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia.

All of this has been sold abroad, so how can it be any worse? And the size of the factory is also there. The soy sauce factory only has more than a thousand people. Zhou Bingkun has been working for more than two years and has reached this point?

Cao Debao drank a lot of wine and said in a daze that the soy sauce factory was not easy to work now, the business was difficult, no one bought the products produced, and how difficult it was in the factory, etc. Finally, he jokingly asked, "Bingkun, I am a workshop director, so I am in the leadership, otherwise I would go to your place and take care of production for you."

Zhou Bingkun did not answer, but just smiled bitterly and said that just because the stall was so big, he actually owed hundreds of thousands in bank loans, but it was not as prosperous as Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao said. In bad times, he may have nothing left and be burdened with debts.

You talk about your demands, and I talk about my difficulties. Even though we are still good friends, we are still good friends.

Cao Debao and the others were not stupid. After Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao went to see the situation, they understood that when Zhou Bingkun said that, he might not mean to see if his friend was a friend. After being invited twice, Xiao Guoqing and Sun Qianchao went, but Cao Debao didn't go, so he shouldn't speak again. This is the most basic human nature, and anyone with a bit of pride can understand it.

In fact, at this point, Zhou Bingkun no longer felt that this gathering of friends was interesting. Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao worked under him, so naturally they praised him both implicitly and externally. Of course, their wives would not say anything else. As for Cao Debao and Qiao Chunyan, they are even more embarrassed. After all, Zhou Bingkun's previous conditions were there, and now that he has become the big boss, of course he must maintain them well.

And because I used to sell goods and now open a factory, my mind has broadened, my knowledge has become far-sighted, and my status has risen, there is nothing to talk about with these people. Just listen to them praise him and exalt him both implicitly and externally.

Therefore, this once-a-year gathering of friends lacks a lot of the sincere friendship between friends and is more worldly and boring.

It's not that he doesn't look down on his friends, it's the measurable gap revealed in them that makes his friends feel alienated from him. It's natural for them to drift away if he doesn't speak the truth anymore.

Normally, although there are many things in the south and it is a good time for rapid development, Zhou Bingkun still goes home quite frequently. It's basically the same as before, staying in the south for more than a month and coming back to rest for half a month, which can be regarded as a combination of work and rest. This is what Wang Yan constantly instills in him. The day when he never makes enough money, his children grow up day by day, his parents get older day by day, and his wife loses her youth day by day. He should not and cannot ignore it. .

As for the others, Li Suhua was still like that, watching her youngest granddaughter happily every day, and Zheng Juan doing daily cooking and serving the old woman and children, very peaceful.

Several people who graduated from the university also returned to Jichun. Chen Jing still went to the original library to hang out, but this university could not be in vain. She began to study literary creation. She read and wrote books in the library every day, and maybe It was also because in the capital, Cai Xiaoguang and the others got together whenever they had nothing to do, and even studied the script. Moreover, the children are older and have developed good study habits, so they don’t need to worry too much. She studied when her children were young. When they are older, she doesn't need to control them by giving instructions. She is a pretty cool mother.

As mentioned before, Zhou Bingyi went to Jiangda to work. At the end of 1982, I was transferred to work in a government department. After all, I have a good father-in-law. When I worked at Jiang University before, I just wanted to see the quality of my son-in-law and test him.

In fact, in 1981, Hao Jinlong should have died. However, Wang Yan had taken care of himself before, and his asthma was relieved a little, and he lived for two more years. It disappeared at the end of 1983.

Hao Jinlong lived two more years, which would have a great impact on Zhou Bingyi's career. This time he did not work in the leisure department as before, but worked at the grassroots level of the government in Jichun, which was pretty good.

In 1981, Hao Dongmei gave birth to a son as she wished, and Hao Jinlong named her Zhou Jirong. Having a son would be considered complete. After taking care of the child for another half a year, she continued to study at Jichun Medical College. Jin Yueji was very willing to take care of the child, and she was happy every day.

Of course Zhou Rong's family also came back. They were not assigned a house in the capital as they wished. Feng Yue also grew up day by day, so she also returned to Jichun in 1982. As Zhou Rong said before, she went to Jiangnan University to be a teacher, Feng Huacheng joined the Writers' Association, and lived in a united household. Nothing changed because she came back early. Should there be no house, there is still no house.

In fact, after graduation, the house that Wang Yan bought for Chen Jing became vacant. If Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng opened their mouths, they would not look at them but also at Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua. Wang Yan borrowed It's no problem to accommodate them. But it's a pity that maybe I didn't like it, or maybe I was embarrassed to speak, so I never mentioned it anyway.

Of course, Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng's life was not very good. They were not assigned a house and their lives were unsatisfactory. They had to work as they should. Of course, the two of them had been quarreling since they brought Feng Yue to live together in the capital in 1978. After so many years of quarreling, the house has become a secondary conflict. The main contradiction is the gap in Zhou Rong's tall image. Once a famous poet who was suave and talented, he wasted several years and was unable to provide a spacious home for his wife and children.

This is how people are, once they have some opinions about a thing or a person, the more they look at it, the more displeased they become, and the more they look at it, the more upset they become, let alone the person next to them who spends their time together day and night. In Zhou Rong's eyes, his unshaven face was so disgusting, and the way he ran to give gifts to others was so shameless...

Cai Xiaoguang said that she was a typical person who suffered material hardships but could not suffer spiritual sins. Perhaps Zhou Rong has been living in the mountains of Qian Province all his life. They live in the school in the cave, and it can be said that they can suffer material hardships. But now, it comes down to material things.

Because for Feng Huacheng to remain the same as before, in this city, he needs to have a house, food and clothing, and a reputation. When these are in place, what they discuss every day is not when to divide rooms, nor why they should give gifts to others. It is a new poem written by Feng Huacheng and a good book that Zhou Rong has recently read. At that time, it was Zhou Rong who once secretly left home and traveled thousands of miles, making her mother cry so hard that she didn't return to her hometown for nine years, in pursuit of that charming and talented poet.

So Feng Huacheng was never wrong when he said Zhou Rong was hypocritical. She only had wishful thinking that she was a transcendent literary young woman who did not eat the fireworks of the world.

Although Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong both returned to Jichun, they all had families and things to do, so they did not go home frequently. Basically on the first Saturday night of every month, they would go to Guangzi Pian to have a meal together. There are so many people and so many mouths, Zheng Juan has enough work to do...

For the rest, they didn't come back very often. Counting the time they had dinner together, they only came back once, a total of two times.

Unlike Wang Yan, who takes his wife and children there for dinner every Saturday...

In mid-August of 1984, there was a cool drizzle in the midsummer evening. In the yard of Lao Zhou's house, under the awning erected in the back, Wang Yan, who had just come home from work with his wife and children, hid together with Zhou Bingkun, who happened to be at home. Xiaoyu, smoking a cigarette and drinking tea.

"The rain doesn't show any sign of stopping. Are you staying here tonight?"

"Let's talk after dinner."

The rain was quite coincidental. There was nothing wrong with it when Wang Yan came, but it started to rain not long after it arrived.

"Shui Ziliu, Luo Shibin and the others arrived in Pengcheng and opened a wire drawing factory." Zhou Bingkun crossed his legs and dusted off the soot with a smile: "This business has no technical content, it is just the preliminary processing of raw materials. I don't think they can do it. long."

Speaking of Luo Shibin, Wang Yan has not paid attention to her for a long time. In the original drama, it seems that at the beginning of this year, Luo Shibin came to Zheng Juan secretly to ask for a child. But he didn't show up this time, maybe because he was scared. After all, Zheng Juan had no need to hide this matter. They were the only ones who knew the truth. If Luo Shibin came to see her, she would definitely tell him. If he didn’t say it, he didn’t come.

Then the only possibility is that Wang is too famous as the best doctor in Northeast China, and the beating he received back then left such a deep impression that Luo Shibin dared not show up.

However, Zhou Bingkun's level is indeed good enough now. In such a barbaric era, he can say like a big boss, "If you don't have the technical content, you won't be able to work for long." He has made great progress.

"It depends on Mr. Zhou's mood." Wang Yan smiled and said, "Although the wire drawing factory has no future, you know what it is like now. In the south, a factory can make money. They must have made a lot of money. Who knows what will happen in the future? You still have to pay attention. You have a big name over there. Didn't they look for you?"

Zhou Bingkun snorted coldly, "If they dare to look for me, I will definitely beat them up."

With the relationship between them, it is absolutely impossible to get close to him and borrow his power. So they can only find him because of the child, and as long as it is because of the child, no matter what, those two bastards should be beaten.

"Hey brother, didn't you build a factory near our home? I haven't asked you how it's going?"

Wang Yan smiled and said, "I was just about to tell you that my product is too expensive and people in our country can't afford it. Let your salesmen go to Hong Kong Island to promote it."

"What is it? People in our country can't afford it?"

"It's the kind of pills you usually take, but the efficacy is relatively poor. In Hong Kong Island, I plan to sell a bottle for 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. How can we afford it when we work hard to earn a hundred or eighty dollars a month?"

"Two Hong Kong dollars and fifty cents is equivalent to one dollar, so ten thousand Hong Kong dollars is... four thousand?" Zhou Bingkun widened his eyes. He was stunned: "Brother, you give us Is the medicine so expensive? No wonder it works so well. I feel like I haven't been sick in these years. "

"Of course it's not that exaggerated. Counting all the miscellaneous expenses, I make a lot of money from one bottle. As long as your salesperson can sell one bottle, I will give him 100 and give you 100, which is the cost of renting a salesperson. I have already asked the delivery person to go out, you can go back and make arrangements." Wang Yan waved his hand: "Hey, come back to your senses. You have been taking it for so many years, you know how good my medicine is, right? Rich people value health. As long as the effect is verified and it is confirmed that it can really be bought from me, it is not expensive no matter how much it is sold. There are many people willing to buy it."

He didn't plan to sell it in China at first, because he couldn't maximize the profit. The current salary in China is 100 to 80 yuan. Of course, according to the year-on-year price, the cost of one bottle is actually about a few dozen yuan. But if you sell it in China, you can make 100 yuan, and if you sell it abroad, you can make more than 3,000 yuan. If you can calculate the accounts, it is obvious that the money earned from abroad is the main thing.

"Brother, you are still the best."

"I am still learning."

"By the way, brother, now that everything is fully open, how about I move the factory back? Or build a new factory, Pengcheng is too far away, not as convenient as home."

Wang Yan thought for a while and said: "Build another one, and you can go to Changbai Mountain to see if you can get a water source. Isn't mineral water also a good business? When the market is opened, it will make a lot of money."

"Okay, I will study it later. The main thing is that our factory's herbal tea, beverages, and beer are selling well now, and the supply is in short supply. If you want to open a new business, you still have to wait."

Zhou Bingkun responded, and then said: "Brother, what do you think about us building a building? I tell you, brother, when I first went to Sister Dongmei's house, that guy made me envious, really Yes, I was thinking, if I could live in such a place, wouldn't it be so comfortable? Would my parents be so proud? Those two old men and women, how dare they think that we can live there. Now someone is building a building in Pengcheng, I thought we should build it in Jichun, right by the river, building a high-rise building and a villa, and live wherever we want, how nice it would be. "

"I don't care if you want to go to heaven, the money is earned by you, you can spend it however you want." Wang Yan pinched the cigarette butt and said, "Come on, stop talking, if you continue, you may want to do something else. Okay, you earn more, and your heart is getting bigger and bigger, which is a good thing. Let's go, it's time to eat, no matter how big your heart is, you have to fill your stomach. "

The two of them walked into the house with laughter, accompanied by the sound of rain outside the window, and soon, a burst of laughter and laughter sounded.

The topic at the dinner table now is not how much money Zhou Bingkun makes. In fact, the family members don't ask about these things, because no matter how much money he makes, it doesn't have much impact on their lives. They still eat the same things as before. Although the clothes are a little new, it's no big deal. They don't feel the great changes in life. This is of course Wang Yan's credit. After all, the Zhou family has never been short of food and drink over the years.

Now the main topic is Zheng Guangming's marriage problem. Since his eyes were cured, he has been learning with Wang Yan. Zheng Guangming is talented, and he is a hard-working person who knows how to cherish. After so many years, he has reached a certain level. Wang Yan arranged for him to be an outpatient doctor who handles general diseases and symptoms. He is also on the payroll, and the conditions are still sufficient.

Zheng Guangming is 21 this year. The young boy back then has grown up and reached the age of marriage. It's just that he has been busy studying these years and has not found a job for himself. Zheng Juan, the elder sister, was quite worried. Of course, Li Suhua, who had long regarded Zheng Guangming as a member of her family, was also worried. She was recently trying to introduce a date to him. She was always worried and kept talking about it. Just like Li Suhua talked about Wang Yan and Zhou Bingkun back then...

Just as the family was having a warm meal, smoke filled a house far away in Pengcheng.

Shui Ziliu got up and opened the window a little wider. Looking at Luo Shibin, who was sitting on the sofa with long curly hair, he couldn't help but sighed: "Binzi, let's forget it..."

Luo Shibin stared at the newspaper on the coffee table, which was a photo of Zhou Bingkun smiling confidently. He rolled up the newspaper and threw it on the ground. He raised his head with a firm look in his eyes: "Brother Shui, I am not like you. I must get my child back. Even if Zhou Bingkun is now the king of herbal tea, he has an official and two brothers who are miracle doctors in the Northeast, so what? Brother Shui, the two of us can definitely achieve something. I want Jianhua to be a hero. I know who his real father is. I want to build a big business empire for him..."

"Binzi, it was our fault back then. And I have already told Wang Yan that the child has nothing to do with us."

"No, it is related. If I say it is related, then it is related." Luo Shibin stood up angrily, took a long breath and said: "Brother Shui, you know me, I am a useless person now. I am not like you. I want to have a son, a son of my own. Otherwise, what do you think we have been doing for all these years? Then what is the meaning of my living?"

Shui Ziliu looked at him helplessly: "Binzi, what are you doing? Playing rogue. You know, Wang Yan really dares to kill us. We are so weak, no different from ants." "Brother Shui, you don't need to persuade me, I know what I am doing, I will definitely not seek death. Wang Yan is powerful, but so what? Jianhua is my son, this is an ironclad fact, no one can do anything about it, I will let him know who is his real father." Luo Shibin took two steps forward and looked at Shui Ziliu sincerely: "Brother Shui, help me, let's grow bigger and stronger together, I believe that if we join forces, sooner or later we will be able to achieve some results, and no one will dare to touch us. When we arrived That day, I can stand in front of Jianhua and tell him in person that I am his father. "

"Now that you have said that, what else can I say? We are brothers in this life, I will definitely help you. But you have to promise me first that if we don't do what you said, then you don't appear in front of them, and we will live and die peacefully."

"Don't worry, Brother Shui. I will die by myself, and I will definitely not drag you down with me."

"Well, it's up to you..."
