The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 334 Confession in the RV

Mayor JJ, Jiang Daqiao welcomes you.

Jiang Daqiao, the original surname of the Jiang family.

With the development of the times, the country began to carry out construction everywhere, such as highways and bridges.

The JJ Yangtze River Bridge was completed in 1993, and there were several expressways in China. Many drivers started to buy their own cars and run transportation.

In the 1980s, many drivers started their own transport business. After all, people who drove in the 1970s and 1980s were mostly wild and bold. In addition, it was a high-income industry, so they could still scrape together the money to buy a car.

But in the early 1980s, you couldn’t buy a car even if you had money. Many companies and units had to queue up to buy a car, and it was difficult for individuals to buy a used car.

The first batch of individual drivers actually came in the late 1980s. Many companies had triangular debts, and after factories and enterprises were contracted out to individuals, some trucks in the units began to flow out.

The 1990s was truly a golden age for self-employed transport operators. Costs were low and freight rates were high, and it didn’t take long to earn back the money earned from a vehicle.

In an era when everyone's income is gradually increasing, many industries are also thriving.

1993 was a very ordinary year for everyone, but in Zhou Lingying's eyes, it was the year when something was wrong with her man.

When Jiang Cheng was paying his public taxes, he always mentioned something about having three wives and four concubines. The key point is that the three wives and four concubines he mentioned were not just an ancient system, but a direct and in-depth discussion of whether a man with three wives and four concubines should turn over a card every day or take them all at once.

To put it bluntly, when Jiang Cheng wanted to confess the matter between Shen Li and Zheng Ke to Zhou Lingying, it wouldn't feel so sudden.

In September 1993, the twins Jiang Ping and Jiang Meng were already in the third year of junior high school. Jiang Cheng had over-promised Shen Li and the others that when they graduated from the third year of junior high school, that is, when they would be high school students, Jiang Cheng would confess to Zhou Lingying.

Also in this month, Jiang Cheng did not take Zhou Lingying on a trip. During the summer vacation, he went to Yunnan. Jiang Cheng had the space, so he was not afraid of mosquitoes when he went to Yunnan. He just had to use the space ability from time to time.

In September, VCD was developed in Hefei by two Chinese scholars studying in the United States.

Jiang Cheng didn't know the history of VCD at all. He had always thought that this thing was developed in Hong Kong. He didn't expect that it was developed by people in China. After they developed it, they produced a thousand units for release. One VCD player actually sold for four or five thousand yuan.

But this batch of VCDs was bought by many electronic manufacturers, who used them as samples and prepared to copy them. This is the case in China. In this era, if you see something that can make money, you just copy it. Many people don't have the awareness of patents.

Jiang Ben originally only wanted to make pirated discs, but he saw that others even bought machines and copied them. In order to market VCD machines as soon as possible, he bought two when he heard that VCD machines were coming out. Then he took them to Hong Kong to copy them. However, it cannot be called a complete copy, it can only be called a reference, because the developer did not patent the VCD machine, which means that anyone can produce it.

Jiang Cheng could not only produce, but also register the brand. So he took his good girl Jiang Niannian to register a VCD brand, and planned to directly advertise it in China after it was produced.

At present, the cost of advertising on CCTV in China is still hundreds of thousands of yuan each, which is very affordable compared to the advertising effect.

The name of the first VCD player was "Wanyan". Jiang Cheng used his daughter Jiang Niannian's identity to register the company and brand. The name was 10,000 times better than others and was called "Yinian" VCD.

As a product of the new era, Jiang Cheng's strong financial support and the low technical content of VCD made it possible for the "Yinian" VCD to start spending millions of dollars on TV advertising at the end of 1993. In this era when advertising was not expensive, a million dollars was a lot of money.

With the help of the Jiangdonglai supermarket, they had sales channels from the beginning. A VCD was sold directly for 3,800 yuan, and then they worked hard to earn more than 3,600 yuan.

That's it. Jiang Cheng didn't want to disrupt the market too much. After all, it wasn't easy for Wanyan. They sold it for more than 4,000 yuan, which was a real R&D expense. It wouldn't cost Jiang Cheng much money or time to find someone in Hong Kong to analyze and copy it.

But in 1994, the price started to drop. There was nothing we could do. This was the way it was in China. When an industry made money, people would flock to it. Panasonic's VCD entered the market, selling for more than 2,000 yuan.

Even at this price, the profit margin is still huge and the price war has not really started yet.

However, Jiang Cheng's goal was not to make a quick buck with the VCD player. He had only made a quick buck with it in the past two years. When he was working as a copycat in Hong Kong, he knew that the VCD player only had some simple functions such as reading, fast forward and fast rewind.

To be honest, it is much easier than making a TV, and a black and white TV only costs a few hundred yuan. This thing will be very profitable even if it is sold for a few hundred yuan later.

The real money-maker is the discs. Jiang Cheng makes VCDs in Hong Kong, so the "Yinian" VCDs are still Hong Kong products. When the prices are the same, people will think that foreign products are more attractive.

From the second half of 1993 to the beginning of 1994, Jiang Niannian was the most confused. She was originally a logistics manager in the soy sauce factory managed by her elder sister, and she was very happy with her salary of thousands of yuan every month.

After all, Jiang Niannian is just a high school student. High school students can find jobs in this era, but they can never be better than college students. With a salary of thousands of yuan, she can become a wealthy woman with a salary of ten thousand yuan a year.

Of course, Jiang Niannian was just studying but had no talent, she was not stupid. Salary was salary, the soy sauce factory was doing well now, and she was also Dad's daughter. Dad had said that everyone in the family would have a share in the soy sauce factory.

Jiang Niannian didn't expect that in just half a year, she would become the boss of a new era electronic products company. She didn't have to do anything in the company, just lead people to ship goods according to orders.

In addition to VCD players, the "Yinian" company also sells discs. The genuine discs cost dozens of yuan each, while the defective ones cost around ten yuan.

Defective products are actually so-called pirated discs. The cost is the price of a blank disc. Now they can be sold for more than ten yuan because they have the first move. In a few years, some people will set up stalls on the street and sell three discs for ten yuan.

Anyway, Jiang Niannian was confused. The company opened an account using her identity, and every day when she woke up, there would be a considerable amount of money in the bank.

But she was a little afraid to use it, because she felt that her father was just borrowing her identity. The money was still earned by her father, but after her father was done with these things, he left the entire company to her, and her father took her mother to travel again.

During this year, a lot of things happened to the Jiang family's children.

The second son, Jiang Panpan, also graduated from university. After graduation, he went to Jiang Niannian's "Yinian" company and asked for some money to go to Hong Kong for an internship.

Jiang Panpan was going to work in the tourism industry according to her father's plan. She studied English seriously, but the English teaching in China was that oral English was not as good as the results on paper.

English needs to be practiced in real life, to communicate with people. Jiang Panpan went to Hong Kong for tourism, and Hong Kong was her first stop. She wanted to record what places in Hong Kong are worth visiting, and then Thailand, South Korea, Japan and other places.

The key to developing an Asian travel route first is to establish a cooperative relationship with the local tourism bureau.

Jiang Panpan went traveling after graduation. Jiang Zhaozhao's "Jiang Niang Fang" soy sauce is competing with Haitian soy sauce for the market. The production has increased many times in the past two years. From the initial "Jiang Donglai" supermarket, this brand of soy sauce can now be seen in small shops in rural areas.

Another thing is mineral water. The price of "Jiang Xixi" pure water is one yuan, and it sells very well. This is pure water, not mineral water, and the packaging uses ordinary plastic bottles. The price of mineral water is three yuan, and the packaging still uses the previous exquisite design.

While Jiang Zhaozhao was leading his classmates to success in their careers, love also came.

Jiang Niang Fang now has several soy sauce factories under its umbrella, and the bottled water factory is also managed together. The annual income has long been tens of millions. Those who first followed Jiang Zhaozhao to the soy sauce factory have also become independent managers. There are marketing managers, regional managers, and planning managers. The salary has increased from 1,500 yuan at the beginning to about 10,000 yuan now, and they are all famous among their classmates.

And because Jiang Zhaozhao graduated from National Tsinghua University, the school also helped to promote talents.

Now Jiang Niang Fang is already very famous, after all, it has been advertised on TV. In addition, the market for bottled water is also growing year by year due to the rapid development of the domestic economy.

It is no longer a waste of talent for students from Tsinghua University to come here, and the starting salary here has risen to more than 2,000 yuan. People who are capable and good can earn tens of thousands a month.

Tens of thousands of yuan a month, and that’s just the salary, not including bonuses and year-end bonuses.

Then, a junior of Jiang Zhaozhao from the previous year came here because of his reputation. This guy was very ambitious and wanted to find a girlfriend and also make money. In the end, he succeeded and got the girlfriend's money directly.

Jiang Cheng had also seen a handsome young man named Hu Wenjie. He was quite handsome, had great horse skills, and was also very eloquent.

The key is that he is thick-skinned and has real talent. From the beginning, he shamelessly pursued senior Jiang Zhaozhao every day. First he called her Jiang senior, and later Zhaozhao.

Hu Wenjie's family conditions are also good, and he comes from a red family.

At present, Hu Wenjie wants to spend Jiang Zhaozhao's money, but he has not yet reached this stage. He wants to hand over all his salary to Jiang Zhaozhao and ask Jiang Zhaozhao for money when he needs it, but they are not married yet. Jiang Zhaozhao is the eldest sister in the family and is not so easy to deceive.

Jiang Zhaozhao is not easy to deceive, but Jiang Fei in Hong Kong is different.

When I was a freshman in college, I found a date. It's not that he was not good. After all, he was a good match. Jiang Fei appreciated his insights into jewelry and could talk about jewelry design.

In addition, the other party was good-looking, and Jiang Fei agreed to his pursuit because of her interests.

Jiang Cheng did not object at that time because the two were a good match in terms of external conditions, unless he told Jiang Fei directly that she was not allowed to have a boyfriend before graduating from college.

Jiang Cheng's only request was that Jiang Fei should not lose her virginity before she was sure she wanted to marry him.

But such warnings mean nothing in the face of love between young boys and girls.

Jiang Cheng couldn't stay in Hong Kong forever, so Shen Li told him about Jiang Fei's loss of virginity. In the end, Jiang Fei and her boyfriend still didn't get together.

The values ​​and personalities may really be incompatible. He is not an only child, and his family wealth is not as strong as the Jiang family's. Moreover, he is just a student, and his parents are generous and it is impossible for them to give their children too much money to spend.

In this day and age, if you spend tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars on your children every month, you are considered a wealthy person in Hong Kong.

But the things Jiang Fei occasionally wants are basically expensive, because she buys cheap things casually. This puts a lot of pressure on her partner, and jewelry design is just one of Jiang Fei's hobbies, and they can't always talk about it when they are together.

So, it is really hard to chase a rich lady. Either you are better than her, or at least your spending level is the same as hers. Or the man himself is really attractive and outstanding, and the rich lady is willing to pay for him.

Anyway, the two broke up after dating for more than a year, and Jiang Fei also experienced sex.

After graduating from university, Jiang Cheng and Shen Li gave Jiang Fei three options: one was to continue her studies, such as studying abroad in other countries, and the other was to intern at Hang Seng Bank, where someone would take care of Jiang Fei.

Being an ordinary clerk in a bank is not like being a bank employee. Banks are actually financial industry, not service industry. Asking Jiang Fei to do internship is not like sitting at the counter and learning how to count money.

In fact, large banks have access to a lot of cutting-edge information, cooperate with many industries, and analyze the profitability of various industries.

The last option is to work as a manager in your own hotel and start by learning how to manage a hotel.

If she wants to do something based on her own interests and hobbies, that is something she can do after she earns money. If the hotel is well managed, Jiang Fei will get dividends. Only then will she be qualified to invest in something on her own.

Jiang Cheng did say that the hotels and some properties in Hong Kong would be divided among his children, but there are four children there now, including Zheng Shuang, so how to divide them depends on their abilities.

As Jiang Cheng's son, Jiang An might get more shares. But if he has no ability, it is normal for him to only get dividends and not be allowed to manage the company.

At night, in Anhui Province, in a small RV in the wild.

"Lingying, do you think I can satisfy three women at once?"

"Okay, okay, you're awesome. Ten women at once is fine."

"Then I can try it. Just three. I don't want more."

Jiang Cheng said shamelessly that this topic has been raised many times in the past one or two years. And most of the time when he said this, it was when something was going on.

Zhou Lingying was scared when Jiang Cheng said he wanted to experience different women. How could her man have such a shameless idea?

In fact, women are the same, they also have messy thoughts. But under traditional concepts and morals, they will immediately stop the thoughts and strangle them in the cradle.

Later, Jiang Cheng said this so many times that Zhou Lingying gradually stopped taking it seriously.

"Okay, then three. How powerful will you be with three women at once?" Zhou Lingying said cooperatively. They had gotten used to such conversations after so many times.

Thirty is like a wolf and forty is like a tiger. ~ Zhou Lingying enjoyed Jiang Cheng's hard work.

After a long time~
"Lingying, I really have another woman outside."

At this time, Jiang Cheng hugged Zhou Lingying tightly, and then confessed something in her ear.

This time it was no joke, Zhou Lingying also heard that her man didn't seem to be joking. At this time, Zhou Lingying's mind was a little blank, and in a short while, Zhou Lingying pushed Jiang Cheng away violently.

"Jiang Cheng, are you telling the truth~?"

Zhou Lingying stared at the man in front of her and asked seriously, she hoped that it was just a joke. But when she asked this question, Jiang Cheng's expression actually gave her the answer.
