Rebirth begins with losing the white moonlight

Chapter 348 New Year’s Gift Box Plan

"Uncle Wang, long time no see!"

"It's been a long time no see... Why do I feel like you guys have grown taller again?"

After the person in charge of the Changning base left, Lu Chen first asked Liu Sijun to drive Bian Zhixing and several other Songze base employees back, while he himself took several other people from 407 to Wang Yongjiang and Hu Xiaoyan.

"Look at what my Uncle Wang said... If we get older, wouldn't we become the third elder brother of the Manchu giant?"

Lin Yusheng smiled at him, and then took out the gift Lu Chen specially prepared for the couple from the trunk.

"Hey...why do you bring so many things again?"

Wang Yongjiang couldn't help but "tsk" and frowned unconsciously:

"Originally, I asked Xiao Shen earlier to see what you all wanted to eat today, but he said that you had all eaten at the hotel.

Today happens to coincide with the winter solstice. Logically speaking, my second aunt and I are going to have a reunion dinner. Even if it's not easy, we have to cook some glutinous rice balls and dumplings.

As a result, you see, not only did you not eat at home, you also brought a lot of things...

Xiao Shen, how can your second aunt and I afford this? "

Wang Yongjiang knew very well that the reason why he was able to call Lu Chen "Little Chen" and Lu Chen was able to politely call him "Second Uncle" was partly because of Lu Chen's upbringing, and partly because of the Lu family and the Li family. There is such a relationship at home.

But putting aside the relationship between the two families, in fact, he should call Lu Chen "boss".

There was no other reason. Although he provided a lot of help to Lu Chen in the early stages of starting his business, strictly speaking, that was far from being considered a "shareholding."

On the contrary, it was Lu Chen who gave him a chance after the business started slowly. Otherwise, his small snack shop would not have been able to come back to life so quickly.

"Uncle Wang, you're welcome. Today is the winter solstice. As juniors, we come to visit our elders, so naturally we can't go empty-handed."

While Lu Chen was talking to him, he motioned to several other people to take things to the store.

Yes, this place is no longer the previously neglected small shop. Instead, it has formed a small "market" that has begun to take shape after renovation and store expansion.

Not only has the area nearly tripled, but bright and clean windows have also been added;

Not only that, the interior of the store is also bustling with people.

"Is Uncle Wang still free to cook for us now? I'm afraid the store is too busy, right?"

Zhang Honglei joked cheerfully on the sidelines.

Wang Yongjiang waved his hand and said:

“There’s nothing I can’t do... Even if I’m not open today, I have to let the children eat first.

But you all had dinner in the hotel beforehand. Obviously you don't want to stay at home for a long time, and you are not willing to give us a chance. "

"Brother Shen is also worried that you and Second Aunt will be too busy..."

Since there were too many customers in the store, the group found a suitable place to put down their things, and then followed Lu Shen and Wang Yongjiang back to the door of the store.

"Uncle Wang, the store you're selling now should be quite expensive."

"Fortunately...it's about the same price as the warehouse I talked about with Xiao Qian before."

Before Lu Chen secured his first entrepreneurial base, Wang Yongjiang had intended to acquire a nearby warehouse.

At that time, he also talked about this matter with Qian Bin, and after reporting to Lu Chen, Qian Bin conveyed a message to him, that is, don't be anxious and wait.

After waiting, Lu Chen had a business base, which also helped him share a lot of inventory.

More importantly, this boy officially opened the sales of Shencheng snack products in university towns and short video platforms for him, so he no longer had to worry about making a living, and all the money he earned was spent wisely.

"Thankfully I listened to Xiao Shen's words... and thanks to your help, so I didn't spend a lot of money to buy that warehouse.

Now I have taken stock of the stores on the left and right sides, and also specially circled a special place behind the house to stack products...

In this way, not only will we not have to travel back and forth, but with the size of our current store, it will also help you and I attract customers better. "

In a physical goods market like theirs, the quality of the goods is of course very important, but the "style" of the store is also indispensable.

In particular, Shanghai is famous for its "exquisiteness", so the "emphasis" of a store is indispensable.

"Indeed, since we are focusing on Shencheng's specialty products, it must also fit the tone of this city!"

"What you said was very professional, and as soon as I heard it, I learned it from our little Chen."

"Isn't that right? We, Brother Shen, are standing in 407 like a giant Buddha. Is Uncle Wang still afraid that we can't learn to speak?"

"It's true...even that boy Han Bo is much more mature than before!"

Because he has such an uncle and aunt in Shanghai, whenever Li Hanbo doesn't go home during holidays, he will come over from Fenglin University Town for a meal, and sometimes he will stay here for a night or two.

The same is true this year. Hu Xiaoyan had already sent a message to Li Hanbo asking him to go home early, and the little fat man naturally agreed without hesitation.

It's just that he has been busy with the work assigned to him by Lu Chen recently, so he didn't rush here directly after class yesterday. It is said that he stayed up until 2 a.m. to make a report.

"Hey, Hanbo hasn't arrived yet?"

"I just asked, and I'm still on the way!"

Originally Wang Yongjiang said he would drive to pick him up, but Li Hanbo said he had grown up.

It's a pity that he hasn't learned to drive yet, otherwise Lu Chen would have asked Qian Bin to buy three cars last time, which would have spared him the pain of riding an electric bike to and from major universities to deliver goods.

"Okay, then I'll drive to the subway station to pick him up later."

"No need...he said he walked over in three to two steps."

From the fact that Li Hanbo is willing to brave the cold wind and take the lead in delivering goods in the university town, we can see that the little fat man is actually quite able to endure hardships.

So although it took more than ten minutes to walk here from the subway station, he didn't intend to trouble others, especially his good brother Lu Chen.

"Lao Zhang should pick him up later."

Boss Lu still felt sorry for him after all:

"Uncle Wang, don't worry about this. Let's go to the back of the house to look at the goods."

"That's...okay!"

Wang Yongjiang thought for a moment and decided to follow Lu Chen's arrangement.

Soon, Lin Yusheng and Cheng Kaiwen followed them to the back of the house, and all kinds of products were piled neatly on the shelves. It could be seen at a glance that Wang Yongjiang and Hu Xiaoyan were very particular people.

"These are the main products of our gift box...you have seen each one before."

Wang Yongjiang first pointed to the lower three floors of the shelves on the left and said:

"These are the goods that my uncle re-purchased two days ago according to what you said. They are divided into two flavors: sweet and savory... The top of the shelf on the right is the candies."

Although the last time they met was a few months ago, Lu Chen occasionally took the time to chat with him.

Especially after communicating with Li Hanbo last weekend about the packaging of the New Year's limited edition gift box, he believed that just making visual adjustments is a change of the soup without changing the medicine. Although the products inside do not need to be all iterated, some new products can be replaced to some extent. Come in.

"Then uncle, do you have any ideas for matching?"

"Have!"

This belongs to Wang Yongjiang's professional field, so he naturally explained it in front of Lu Chen without thinking.

"Because you are coming today, your second aunt and I have already sorted things out beforehand.

Look at this, this, and this..." He raised his right hand and pointed at the shelf:

"These three items can be used to replace the shortbread and osmanthus cakes in the previous 1.28kg gift box, and this one,"

He paused, then pointed to the other side and said:

"This can be used to replace the pork bun in the 1.36kg gift box...or you don't need to completely replace it, you can take out half of the pork bun from it."

"Did you remember it?"

"Write it down!"

Since Qian Bin had returned to the entrepreneurial base to take charge of the overall situation, Cheng Kaiwen temporarily took over the secretary's job.

Seeing his youngest son nodding solemnly, Lu Chen was naturally very relieved, so he took out another bag of crisp candies from the top of the shelf on the right and said:

"Is this originally unpackaged?"

"Yes."

Wang Yongjiang also nodded solemnly:

"We visited several local factories this week and tasted no less than 30 kinds of pastry candies. Although this pastry candy is not packaged, it definitely tastes the best. And although it cannot be made sugar-free, it can be made into sugar-free sugar. Reducing the sweetness to half...should satisfy the taste needs of more consumers.”

"Thank you for your hard work, uncle and aunt."

Lu Chen took out two candy canes and handed them to Cheng Kaiwen and Lin Yusheng who were standing aside to try them.

Professional things should really be left to professionals. Even if they are willing to spend money, they may not be able to find this type of factory, and even if they can find it, they may not be able to compare which one is the best.

"Mmm... delicious!"

"This one is really not very sweet, and it's crispier than what I usually eat."

Lin Yusheng represents the taste of eastern Guangdong Province, while Cheng Kaiwen is an authentic Shanghainese local.

After two people tasted it, they both spoke highly of it, indicating that this candy is indeed very marketable.

"There's nothing hard to do. This is what we should do."

Wang Yongjiang smiled at Lu Chen and said very frankly:

"And if it weren't for you, even if we wanted to do it, we probably wouldn't have such a good opportunity."

"Uncle Wang is so polite. The reason why we were able to accumulate the first batch of fans was because of the help of you and my second aunt. If we hadn't taken this step, all of this would be in vain now."

"No...even without us, you would most likely have been able to come up with other ways. But if it weren't for you, your second aunt and I really don't know how to keep this store going."

He said it so sincerely that the two young boys who had just finished eating candy couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Both Lu Chen and Wang Yongjiang regard each other as their own talents, rather than arrogantly believing that the other's success is brought about by themselves. This is probably the commonality of two magnanimous people, and it is definitely not something that mere mortals can empathize with.

“Now that we have come this far, Second Uncle doesn’t have to dwell too much on the past.

When I go back, I will ask someone to design a special package for this candy. Then I will name it 'New Year Candy' and sell it together with the New Year's limited edition gift box. I hope it can shine in this Lunar New Year. "

"Okay, my second uncle believes in your ability, so will you take this batch of goods together this time?"

"Take it away."

"Okay, when Hanbo and the others come back, we can load these goods into the car together."

As soon as Wang Yongjiang finished speaking, the voices of Li Hanbo and Zhang Honglei came from not far away.

After everyone met, they first used several small carts to complete the work at hand. After all the goods had been loaded, Lu Chen looked at Li Hanbo and said:

"How things went."

"almost."

Li Hanbo first answered this sentence reflexively, and then used the attributes of an engineering man to add in detail:

"Because we previously provided sponsorship for the school sports meeting, the process of applying for the entrepreneurial base was very smooth, but the venue is 29 square meters smaller than yours.

I have already been to the mall, and because I used the business card that Laoqian sent to my mailbox, the person in charge of the other party agreed immediately.

Now it can be said that everything is ready, except for our new year limited gift box, which is a common trend. "

"There is one more thing you need to do now."

"what's up?"

"Go to Nanhui University Town."

"Nanhui University Town?"

Li Hanbo repeated it, and then quickly responded:

"It seems that we can capture the entire Shanghai student market faster than I thought."

"How long do you imagine it will take."

"It should be at least...it will take another half year?"

Shanghai is different from other non-first-tier cities. Songze University Town alone had about 12 teachers and students at the same time.

With a size of hundreds of thousands, and an average student quality that is higher than most cities, it will not be easy to win it even if it takes a whole year, not to mention that Lu Chen shortened the time by half——

Only less than half a year.

"That's why I said your speed is too slow."

Lu Chen closed the trunk, then turned around and looked at him:

"I'll let Lao Zhang and the others tell you what to do specifically. I have something to do today, so I'll leave first."

"Eh……"

Li Hanbo stretched out his right hand, which was no longer as fleshy as before, as if to express a meaningless plea to Lu Chen to stay.

But Lu Chen just said hello to Wang Yongjiang, then turned around and left.

"Lu Chen, you just left like this?!"

"Otherwise, do you still want me to kiss you?"

Lu Chen rolled down the window and rolled his signature eye roll that he learned from Shen Wanning.

Shen Wanning has not been kissed by me yet. Can such a good thing come to your advantage?

"No...even if you don't plan to kiss me, don't you plan to say a few more words to me? We already have..."

Before Li Hanbo finished speaking, he saw Lu Chen had stepped on the accelerator and turned around to leave without looking back.

And he could only stand there, silently staring at the man's leaving figure.

"So many years of love and time have been wrongly paid after all..."

"But brother Hanbo, you still have me~"

"Get out!"
