Chapter 207 The Dream Maker Attacks the Middle-aged Man
……

Kunshan, Bacheng Town.

Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs are a local specialty.

It turns out that Li Xiaoqin's parents were in the hairy crab business.

However, few people know that the grapes here are also a specialty.

Lu Feng’s grandmother’s family has been growing grapes in Bacheng Town for generations.

When Lu Feng was a child, his biggest impression of his grandmother's house was that there were endless grapes to eat every day during summer vacation.

The grapes from my grandma's house are super big and super sweet.

He loves to eat.

When he was a child, his mother often scared him that eating too many grapes would cause diabetes.

This led him to come up with the strange equation that eating grapes equals diabetes.

……

Lu Feng parked the car on the side of the road.

I don’t know what day it is today, but there was a bunch of people gathered in front of my grandma’s house, making a lot of noise, and it felt like they were about to fight.

In order to avoid harming innocent people, Lu Feng did not dare to get close. He turned around and slipped in through the back door.

There is no need for grandma to open the door.

He knew there was a key to the house, placed under a stone pier next to the back door.

My grandmother is old, and sometimes when she goes out for a walk, she forgets to bring her keys, so she puts a spare key here.

For more than ten years, this key has been lying there quietly.

It hasn't changed.

"It is indeed here."

Lu Feng lowered his head and quickly found a key, and immediately smiled knowingly.

He opened the door and went in, and found that there were many people in the living room of the house.

In addition to his grandmother, his two uncles were also at home, and his two aunts had also returned.

Li Xiaoqin and her parents were also there.

"what's the situation?"

Lu Feng thought about it and guessed that it must be related to the crab roe cake factory he set up.

If he showed up at this time, things would probably become more troublesome.

"Xiaoqin, come to the second floor."

Lu Feng didn't say hello to anyone. He entered the house from the back door, quietly went up to the second floor, and then sent a text message to Li Xiaoqin.

Li Xiaoqin glanced at her phone and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She had long been impatient to stay downstairs. This group of people kept arguing about share distribution, and she had no idea what they were talking about.

However, after listening for the whole morning, she roughly understood that this production capacity share was equivalent to dividing the money.

After all, crab roe cakes sell very well. They are basically sold out as soon as they are put on the shelves. There is a complete shortage of supply. Whoever can get the goods can make money without doing anything.

In this case, it is completely risk-free arbitrage and no one is a fool.

Such quarrels have happened frequently recently, and Li Xiaoqin is no longer surprised.

However, what was even more hateful today was that this group of people couldn't get a share from his father, so they actually ran to Lu Feng's grandmother's house to make trouble.

I guess they think that the factory belongs to Lu Feng after all, so grandma's words will have more effect.

"Dad, there are too many people here. I feel a little breathless. Let's go sit upstairs for a while."

Li Xiaoqin talked to her father and then went upstairs.

No one else thought much about it, as a little girl certainly couldn't make the decision.

The person who can make the decision on this matter is either Li Xiaoqin's father or Lu Feng's grandmother.

Both of Lu Feng's uncles are useless.

After all, the two uncles have been doing business outside and their relationship with Lu Feng is not very good.

……

After going upstairs, Li Xiaoqin saw Lu Feng leaning against the window, secretly taking a look outside, and then quickly pulling the curtains.

This guilty look made Li Xiaoqin couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.

"Xiao Qin, why are there so many people at home? What are they doing?"

Lu Feng was speechless.

He really didn't expect that things would turn out like this after he made an MV to promote the crab roe cakes.

"It's not you who's causing the trouble?"

Li Xiaoqin came over and held Lu Feng's hand. Although she was complaining, the smile on her face was as sweet as honey.

Lu Feng scratched Li Xiaoqin's nose and couldn't help but jokingly said, "Do you know how popular the brand [Qinqin] is right now? Do your classmates flatter you and call you the Queen of Crab Roe Pastries?"

"What's the Krabby Patty Queen? That sounds terrible."

Although what she said was unpleasant, Li Xiaoqin couldn't help but laugh.

Because, as Lu Feng guessed, someone really called her that in the group.

After laughing for a while, Li Xiaoqin's eyes sparkled as she whispered in Lu Feng's ear: "Lu Feng, thank you. Although it was quite noisy, I feel very happy."

Although there was a lot of noise below because of what Lu Feng did, Li Xiaoqin knew that her parents were actually very happy and proud.

It’s so respectable.

What does it mean to return home in glory?

This is.

In the living room downstairs, those who were clamoring for a share were all relatives of theirs.

Or maybe they were neighbors, all of whom had grown up together. Those with more distant relationships could only wait outside while a group of people sent a representative in to talk.

"You're still thanking me?"

Lu Feng smiled and hugged Li Xiaoqin.

As soon as he touched her, he felt something was wrong. Lu Feng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Xiao Qin, I was right just now. You have gained some weight. You look better than before. You need to gain some meat to look good. It's not good to be too thin."

Li Xiaoqin is the type who can eat a lot without gaining weight.

Almost the same as Yang Mi.

Staying slim is easy for her.

But getting some meat on it is harder than climbing to the sky.

"Hehe. This summer, I didn't go out to bask in the sun. Not only did I gain weight, but I'm also a lot whiter than before."

Li Xiaoqin used to have some dark reputations, and she knew it herself.

After being with Lu Feng, she learned a lot of whitening techniques, which did have some effect.

After not seeing her for two months, when Lu Feng saw her for the first time, his eyes seemed to be shining, and it was obvious that he liked her very much.

This made Li Xiaoqin very happy. She smiled with her eyes curved and felt that her two months were not wasted.

"Xiao Qin, when will we finish talking about this? I'm almost starving."

It was almost 12 o'clock, and the group of people downstairs were still arguing. Lu Feng was really speechless.

Arguing will not produce any result.

"It'll be over by 12 o'clock. They do this every time, I'm almost used to it."

Li Xiaoqin said with a smile.

Although these people were noisy, they were very punctual. At 12 o'clock, when it was time for lunch, they all dispersed.

Anyway, Li Xiaoqin's family can't run away.

We are all neighbors, and we can come and continue the conversation at any time.

The two of them whispered some more things, and when it was 12 o'clock, it was indeed much quieter and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Lu Fengcai went downstairs with Li Xiaoqin.

"Lu Feng, kid, when did you go upstairs?"

When grandma saw Lu Feng coming down from upstairs without anyone noticing, she immediately laughed.

This child is so smart, just like her.

"Grandma, I miss you."

Lu Feng went up and gave his grandmother a hug. It had been a long time since they last saw each other. The last time they met was during the summer vacation after the college entrance examination.

He stayed here for a month before going to Urumqi to find his father.

During that period, Lu Feng asked Li Xiaoqin to go out and play with him every now and then. After a month of ambiguity, Li Xiaoqin gradually became obsessed with him.

"Grandma, I brought you a lot of nourishing products for the elderly. I carefully selected them. They are nothing like those advertised on TV."

"When you're done eating, remember to call me and don't buy anything else on your own."

Lu Feng's favorite part of the show is the daily life stories on "1818 Golden Eyes." Most of the stories are about elderly people who lack care, buy health supplements on their own, and then get into trouble. "Grandma knows you're busy, and it's enough that you have this kind heart."

My grandmother is only in her early 60s now. She was still growing grapes a few years ago. She is still in good health, but what the elderly need is care.

If Lu Feng was really eighteen or nineteen years old, he probably wouldn't be able to understand.

But now, he instantly understood his grandmother's subtext and pulled Li Xiaoqin over: "Grandma, if I'm busy, I'll let Xiaoqin come back to see you on my behalf."

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Xiaoqin blushed instantly.

This is equivalent to Lu Feng making a promise directly to his grandmother.

Grandma laughed and patted Lu Feng on the shoulder: "You kid, you have been lazy since you were young, and now you start to order Xiao Qin around. From now on, remember to be nice to Xiao Qin."

"Ah."

Lu Feng nodded heavily.

Because it was so noisy at home, I didn’t have time to cook just now.

Fortunately, although this is a small town, the business is actually quite developed, and there is a fast food restaurant not far away.

Lu Feng and Li Xiaoqin went out and brought back some dishes.

The whole family had a great time and had lunch together.

Li Xiaoqin and her family were also there.

Although no one said anything, they actually thought of Lu Feng and Li Xiaoqin as a couple in their hearts.

After dinner, Li Xiaoqin took the initiative to help her two aunts clean up the dishes.

Her little face is red, just like a little wife.

While washing dishes, she would look back at Lu Feng from time to time, and the joy in her eyes was almost overflowing.

Lu Feng discussed the expansion of the crab roe cake factory with his two uncles and Li Xiaoqin's father.

"Lu Feng, I can't handle the crab roe cake factory by myself. Now that your two uncles are back, why not ask them to come and help?"

Li Xiaoqin's father had long known that once the factory was established, Lu Feng's two uncles would definitely come back to seize power.

After all, Lu Feng is the boss.

Although Lu Feng was very nice to Li Xiaoqin, he was an outsider after all.

Although he was unwilling at the moment, Li Xiaoqin's father had no choice.

"Uncle Li, you are the one who makes the decisions about this factory."

However, Lu Feng stopped his two uncles' thoughts without saying a word.

Seeing his two uncles' unhappy expressions, Lu Feng continued, "Uncle, uncle, the crab roe cake business is affected by the raw materials. The annual output value can reach 100 million, which is already the limit."

Because their crab roe pastry, as advertised, is made with authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs.

The annual production of Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs is fixed.

Therefore, in addition to being affected by the factory's production capacity, the production of crab roe cakes is also affected by the production of hairy crabs.

Due to this natural constraint, the crab roe cake business is destined to be a niche business.

A very unpopular track.

It is precisely because this track is relatively unpopular and no one is competing for it that Lu Feng made the crab roe crisps a hit.

Now that Lu Feng has proven that the crab roe cake business is viable, it probably won’t be long before other people in the town follow suit.

At that time, a lot of people will scramble for the raw materials, and the price of hairy crabs will rise.

If we continue to expand production capacity at this time, competition will inevitably intensify in the future.

But if we don’t expand production capacity, the market will be taken over by others.

in a dilemma.

After comprehensive consideration, Lu Feng decided that the factory still had to be expanded, but it could not be expanded blindly. It should be expanded to twice its original size at most, and the rest of the market would be left to others.

"Uncle, uncle, my dad is working on a pecan project and has received a subsidy from the province. If you are interested, you can go to my dad's place and start this business together."

"Don't worry, the pecan project is definitely more promising."

"The global market size of pecans is about 300 billion yuan, and our domestic market should have 100 billion yuan. If we can capture the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions, we will have a 20 billion yuan market."

"A 20 billion market is big enough for us to take the company public."

If there is a conflict between the two uncles and Li Xiaoqin's parents, the final result will most likely lead to a conflict between Li Xiaoqin and Lu Feng.

This completely goes against Lu Feng's original intention.

He could only trick his two uncles into going over to his father's side.

If Dad has a conflict with his two uncles, what does that have to do with Lu Feng?
Let his mother worry about it.

"Are you really aiming for a listing?"

If Lu Feng had said this a year ago, his two uncles would not have believed it at all.

But now, Lu Feng has single-handedly made a small crab roe cake factory flourish, and its products are in short supply.

This forced them to believe it.

Besides, my two uncles have some idea of ​​how big the market for crab roe cakes is.

It’s really not big.

But there is great potential in the nut business.

"You can talk to my dad about the details during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

The Mid-Autumn Festival is in half a month. According to the custom in previous years, Lu Feng and his family will definitely come to his grandmother's house to celebrate the festival.

"That's fine."

The two uncles weighed the pros and cons for a while and felt that it would be more reliable to do business with Lu Feng’s father.

Li Xiaoqin's father is indeed good at hairy crab farming, but he is a complete layman when it comes to doing business.

They originally wanted to intervene in the crab roe cake factory because they thought they could control Li Xiaoqin's father.

But now it seems that Lu Feng is unwilling to do so.

As long as Lu Feng doesn't let go, they won't get involved.

After all, this matter is too unpleasant to talk about. In the eyes of outsiders, it is like the two uncles are stealing their nephew's business.

After the matter was discussed, the atmosphere became a little more lively.

The two uncles joked with Li Xiaoqin's father for a while, talked about some interesting things from their childhood, and their relationship became much closer.

"Uncle Li, I bought you a massage chair online. It should be here soon. I'll go with you to check it out."

Lu Feng found an excuse and went home with Li Xiaoqin and her family.

Li Xiaoqin's father thought Lu Feng was just talking casually, but he didn't expect to see a big massage chair at the door.

Such a big massage chair must cost tens of thousands of dollars, right?

He himself wouldn't dare to be so extravagant.

Li Xiaoqin's father was too embarrassed to accept it and said in embarrassment: "Lu Feng, this massage chair is quite expensive. How about you take it back to your grandma?"

How could Lu Feng take it back?

This is how he saves face for Li Xiaoqin!

At this time, Lu Feng directly changed the subject and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, there is a scenic spot by the lake. They are currently developing a villa project. When the company distributes dividends at the end of the year, shall we go and have a look together?"

This……

When Li Xiaoqin's father heard this, he was stunned.

Good guy.

Their Li Xiaoqin hasn't even married yet, and Lu Feng is giving them massage chairs and shares, and now he's directly using villas to corrupt them?

But after careful calculation, Li Xiaoqin's father realized that if Lu Feng's Crab Roe Pastry Company continued to operate like this, by the end of the year, his own dividends alone might reach millions.

Maybe, you can really go and have a look!

"Uncle Li, let's set a small goal first. We want to make you one of the top ten township entrepreneurs in the city and a provincial People's Congress representative. What do you think?"

Who says middle-aged people don’t need to dream?

When Lu Feng mentioned this small goal, Li Xiaoqin's father's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was clearly very much looking forward to it.

He definitely can't do it on his own.

But Lu Feng has already proved his ability in this area to him through practical actions.

There's something going on!
"Come on, come in and have a drink with uncle."

Li Xiaoqin's father was very excited. He couldn't suppress his excitement without drinking a glass of wine.

"What are you drinking? Dad, Lu Feng still has to drive this afternoon."

Li Xiaoqin was unwilling.

Lu Feng will go back to school with her soon. The most important thing is that the villa on Wukang Road has been renovated.

Li Xiaoqin is waiting to move into the new house tonight and officially start living together.

Dad, isn't this ruining her life?
