Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1242 Defense War

Soon it was 1995. This year was a very turbulent year.

At the beginning of the year, the battle to defend national enterprises began!

With the development of reform and opening up, people in China have gradually become richer, and foreign brands have invaded in the name of cooperation or brand leasing.

Once the contract was signed, local domestic brands were no longer in charge. They were hidden, abandoned, and then finished. The most famous ones are Coca-Cola and Pepsi, whose record is the most brilliant, and they are known as the two colas that overwhelmed the seven armies. There are 8 large carbonated beverage brands in China, and they have defeated 7 of them.

As a person from later generations, Jiang Yan knew that these two brands could not be stopped. Their invasion was too aggressive. The taste, packaging and advertising were all very good. The key was that they were cheap and did not increase the price.

In later generations, Coke was 3 yuan a bottle, while the domestic brand Arctic Ocean was 6 yuan. Of course, no one supported it. Moreover, some domestic brands did not live up to their expectations and only cared about the immediate interests, so they were taken advantage of by others.

However, in this life, Jiang Yan had warned them early on, so there was no flooding or deceiving the emperor. In addition, with the development of new beverages, the fight with these two giants in the country was quite fierce.

The fighting was fierce, and the people who benefited were basically ordinary people, which is good.

Driven by beverages, all walks of life have also understood the wolfish ambitions of foreign brands and have joined forces to fight against foreign brands, and the fight was very effective.

However, there are so many fake goods in shopping malls now that people buy one fake item out of every three items. This is happening in all major shopping malls.

In Jiang Yan's memory, Jiang Yan helped people find the first person in China to fight against counterfeiting.

"Boss, we found the guy who's fighting the counterfeiting. His name is Wang Hai. He's from Qingdao and he's in Beijing now."

"Go contact him and see if we can cooperate. We can invest together and start a company."

"Boss, this person is very controversial right now, do you want to wait?"

"I know! But the battle to defend our national enterprises has already begun. There are fakes everywhere. Are people worshipping foreign things? Have they lost confidence in our own products?"

"Okay! I understand!"

"Well! Let those brands that have fallen die on their own, but we should try to help those brands that are able to resist. We will pay compensation if they are asked to. We are all Chinese, and we should lend a helping hand!"

"Ok!"

Despite the difference in size, domestic companies are also gritting their teeth and persevering, especially Changhong, TCL, and Haier. Those companies are struggling to make a breakthrough. Now basically every company is fighting with the idea of ​​dying if they don't win. Jiang Yan can't just stand by and watch. Although he can't contribute, he can contribute money.

Since the beginning of the year, Jiang Yan has instructed his Hang Seng Bank to launch ultra-low-interest loans. As long as it is a domestic enterprise and an excellent brand, it can get a loan. With the help of Jiang Yan's bullets, we are still holding our ground.

Starting from March this year, our country has implemented the system of long and short weeks, that is, long weeks work five days a week and have two days off, short weeks work six days a week and have one day off. Life is getting better and better.

Of course, it doesn't make much sense, and the wave of layoffs is still continuing. As the old saying goes, if you work for someone else, you have to be managed by them. Foreign and state-owned enterprises are fine, but our small bosses in the mainland really take the exploitation to the extreme.

At the end of March, Jiang Yan suddenly received a message that Aunt Yi was dying.

Jiang Yan came to the hospital and went to see this poor old man.

"Xiao Jiang! You're here!"

Yi Zhonghai greeted Jiang Yan after seeing him.

"Well, come on, Uncle Yi, what's going on? I came here right after I got a call from Zhuzi."

"Alas! People are born, grow old, get sick and die. This is the law of nature." Yi Zhonghai was very lonely.

Two days later, Aunt Yi passed away. The courtyard was bustling with activity. It was a funeral, and everyone who could come had to be there. Yi Zhonghai also had some apprentices and polite co-workers. All the younger generation in the courtyard who were supposed to come came.

Xinxin wore a white mourning ribbon on her forehead.

The two children they adopted were busy running around, wearing mourning clothes. The next day, they hired four suona bands and played "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix". Finally, they buried her outside the city, and then the yard became even quieter.

Aunt Yi’s death had no impact on anyone except Yi Zhonghai and their family. After all, life must go on.

Jiang Yan continued to run his breakfast shop and then started taking his granddaughter out to play.

Soon, Jiang Yan received another piece of news. After two years of research, the country had fully mastered the aircraft carrier and the "Varyag" was being improved.

No one knew who leaked the news that the Pipixia in Tianjin was a copy of the "Varyag". Many people were alarmed, and some even asked loudly at the gate of Jinghua and at the Pipixia in Tianjin whether the Pipixia could be equipped with weapons and dispatched.

The people from Jinghua and Pipixia were helpless and didn't know how to answer.

Then the topic became more and more intense, and everyone started to look for the national entrepreneur Jiang Yan.

Then Jiang Yan's photo appeared in the newspaper again, and the breakfast shop could no longer operate because parents of students recognized him.

"Boss, I've long felt that you are not an ordinary person, but I didn't expect you to be so amazing!"

"Alas! I'm retired, but I still can't live in peace."

"Then Boss, can the shrimp join the battle?"

"Why are you just like those people outside who are just joining in the fun? The mantis shrimp in Tianjin is just an empty shell. Can I personally own an aircraft carrier?"

"Oh!"

Jiang Yan repeats this question every day, and he is a little speechless.

"Oh! If this happens, my breakfast shop won't be able to continue!" Jiang Yan complained to Jiang Sirui when he got home.

"Indeed! Now people are running to the store to ask!"

"Ugh!"

Jiang Yan is now staying at home and not going anywhere. Every day he watches TV, cooks, listens to music, etc. Some things cannot be said carelessly, otherwise it will affect morale.

Finally, after Xinxin had her holiday, Mr. Liu came.

"I called you here today so that you can step onto the stage and tell the people of the whole country that mantis shrimp can move." After saying this, Mr. Liu couldn't help but complain.

"What a lousy name."

"What about the real aircraft carrier?" Jiang Yan didn't care about anything else and asked
"The other one will be completed before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month this year. Now the people are waiting, waiting for our own aircraft carrier, so I asked you to tell them in advance that the mantis shrimp can be moved. Now it is basically completed, and it still needs to be tested and let the naval soldiers get familiar with it!"

"it is good!"

"Well! If anything happens, I will find someone to inform you. Remember, keep your original intention. No matter what happens, the country will be behind you!"

"I see!"

"Ok!"

On January 20th, not long before the Chinese New Year, Jiang Yan accepted a media interview in Beijing and told the whole country this exciting good news.

All TV stations and newspapers were reprinting the news crazily, and all media began to report it extensively. Although the people who received the news were skeptical, they were still very excited, just like taking a shot of stimulant. However, they still believed that even if the mantis shrimp could be deployed, it would take several years, but at least there was hope, right?

Compared with the original history, it can be said that they are now truly happy, many years earlier than before.
