Our Rise Era

Chapter 23 The wind is blowing!
[Some people say that our satellites have gone up into space and our submarines have gone into the sea, but on earth we can no longer see those century-old domestic brands...]

[Indeed, some of the “big brands” from our childhood are rarely seen in supermarkets now, and have been replaced by new brands or foreign brands.]

[Over the years, I don’t know when it started, but the things I put on my face, applied to my body, and ate… all seemed to have gradually become foreign brands…]

[Do you still remember what the instant noodle packaging looked like? ]

【…】

Outside the window, the sunlight shines in through the window.

In the sunshine, Zheng Guodong was initially filled with passion.

That was the feeling of rebirth that [Hikvision Instant Noodles] survived, the company regained vitality, and gradually moved from a family workshop to an enterprise.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a complete transformation!

But when Zheng Guodong silently read the articles in these forums, his smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a feeling of heaviness.

Whether it is "The Last Stubbornness, [Haikang Instant Noodles]" or "From the 80s to the Present, What Else Do We Have to Lose...", the text content is very plain, but between the lines, it reveals the changes of the times. Under the impact of overseas brands, domestic brands are gradually withdrawing from big cities and shrinking in the corners.

It was a journey from glory to decline, from resistance to surrender, from the spotlight to obscurity...

That is the sadness of the times!

He clicked on the reply below.

There are all kinds of replies.

Those who abused the domestic brands said that they were not enterprising and were selling inferior products as good ones. It was normal for them to decline...

Some people also lament that the tastes of their childhood are becoming less and less, and more and more difficult to find...

There are also groundless accusations, saying that the market economy is all about survival of the fittest, and domestic brands are garbage. Why should we miss such garbage? They should be completely replaced. Overseas brands are much better...

There are even some who kowtow to foreign brands, saying that their whole family uses foreign brands and they will never use domestic brands in their lifetime, and that domestic products will never be as good as foreign brands...

……

After turning off the computer, Zheng Guodong looked out the window silently.

he knows……

These things were all written by the "writer behind" Zhang Yang, or even by Zhang Yang himself.

This is a talent!
Get three jobs for one dollar, and do them beautifully.

We must do everything we can to retain such talents!
But, how should we retain them and what base salary should we offer?

Now the whole company is in ruins. A large amount of money has been invested in the reform. It will take a long time to recover the investment. Running a business is not the Internet, let alone stock speculation. How much profit can be obtained in the short term...

It is difficult for the company to offer high salaries at the moment.

As for the business commission...

Zheng Guodong fell into deep thought. If he treated it according to ordinary business experience, his sincerity might not be enough.

To make it more important and show more sincerity, maybe we could split the stock, and then...

Just at this moment, Secretary Li's phone rang.

She stepped outside and answered the phone.

After answering the phone, Secretary Li opened the door and walked over excitedly: "Mr. Zheng, just now, someone contacted our [Zheng's Food Co., Ltd.] through these articles on the Internet... There is a brand supermarket owner named [Tiantianxin], he wants to come and talk to us, and asked when you are free..."

"【Tiantianxin】, why haven't I heard of it?"

"I just did some research. Although it's not a big chain supermarket that was established a few years ago, the other party seems to be very sincere and brought money with them!"

"Please help me make an appointment."

"it is good!"

....................................

11 Month 26 Day!
In a dark and damp old house.

The instant noodle bags of [Haikang Instant Noodles] were thrown everywhere.

That was brought from Zheng’s Food Co., Ltd.

To be honest, the old instant noodles really don’t taste that good…

But Lu Wei didn't care about these.

At this moment, he was staring at one computer after another, day and night.

In the computer, there are the plots of the first three episodes of "Popetta".

【Original painting, animation, art setting, art supervision, color designation, coloring】

These tasks should have been done by several people together, but at this moment, Lu Wei was doing it alone.

Fortunately, this time the modification is only a regional modification. Although the workload is still large and needs to be very meticulous, it is not complicated. After overwriting the script, restart and then make a new set of procedures. It has been a week since I left Taifeng County and arrived in Hangzhou on November 11.

During this week, he took a long vacation and locked himself in the rental house day and night.

When I am thirsty, I drink some water. When I am hungry, I eat some instant noodles to fill my stomach. When I am sleepy, I take a rest in front of the computer desk. Sometimes in my dreams, I am doing all kinds of art work...

After working so hard, he felt his body becoming more and more exhausted. Sometimes he felt so groggy that he couldn't tell the difference between day and night. Sometimes he even fell beside the toilet when he went to the bathroom...

However, there was a voice in his body that kept reminding him!
This time!
He must seize the opportunity!
He must seize this opportunity no matter what!
He won't let anyone down!
As long as the first three episodes can be broadcast on TV and he can get the subsequent production fees, he will have the confidence to call other people in the team and ask them to come back and fulfill this dream!
Certainly possible!

Early in the morning of June 11.

After the computer officially demonstrated the plot of the first three episodes of "Popetta"!

He excitedly took out his cell phone and called Zhang Yang!
"Mr. Zhang, I've finished the revision. I've finished it! I'll send it to you!"

"Okay! Good job!"

There was a calm voice on the other end of the line, and then the call was hung up.

Lu Wei quickly packed up the animations and sent them to Zhang Yang's mailbox via encrypted email. After sending it, he suddenly lost all strength in his body and just lay down on the smelly bed next to him and closed his eyes.

It seems like I slept for a long time.

But it seemed like he only rested for a moment.

The phone rang again.

He instinctively took out his cell phone and answered the call.

"Hey!"

"The subsequent payment has been transferred to your card. Please check. Popeye has already contacted the TV station. The TV station is scheduling the first three episodes. It is expected to be released in December..."

After hearing the news, Lu Wei quickly turned on his computer, plugged in the U-shield, and checked his bank card!

He saw a series of numbers!
His eyes widened!

..............................

The evening of June 11.

Starting from three o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Guodong had been waiting silently for Zhang Yang at the door of Zheng's Food Co., Ltd.

It has been more than a week since Zhang Yang left Zheng’s Food Co., Ltd.

During this period, several young people from the business department of Zheng's Food Co., Ltd. returned to the company, but Zhang Yang never came back.

Although Zhang Yang did not come back, business news came one after another.

At first, it was a contract with a small supermarket in a nearby town. A few days later, it was a contract with a small supermarket in the next town...

Until today, I heard that Zhang Yang signed contracts with several large supermarkets in the neighboring county...

……

Everything seems to be going in the right direction!
Six o'clock in the evening.

It was getting dark.

Car lights lit up in the distance.

That is the business car of Zheng’s Food Co., Ltd.!

After seeing the car, Zheng Guodong walked quickly forward.

The car stopped quickly.

"Mr. Zheng!"

"boss Zhang!"

Zheng Guodong looked at Zhang Yang.

In just over a week, Zhang Yang seemed to have lost a lot of weight and looked much more haggard.

But his eyes were always very bright.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Zheng Guodong patted Zhang Yang on the shoulder.

"It's not hard, I just signed a small contract..."

"Okay! This is..."

"This is my second uncle, Zhang Gui, the owner of Tianxin Toy Factory... These days, I went to Tianxin Toy Factory to inspect it and conducted a series of assessments. I think we can cooperate with each other..."

"Oh, hello, hello..."

"..."
