My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 186: Convincing Adults is Harder Than Moving Mountains
It seemed as if Weidong was creating a new version of himself.

Then watch what Big Brother will encounter when he goes to fight.

Of course, to say that he is so sophisticated and deliberately planning things is really overestimating him.

Just like his interpretation of You Qili's intentions, some of them might not even have been thought of by You Qili himself.

To become a super star, one must not only have something in himself, but also understand that heroes are made by the times.

He explained the milestones of his year very clearly: "Cameras were selling well, and I realized it wasn't rational to only import film. One roll of film was almost as expensive as a camera, and all the money went to foreigners, which wasn't conducive to the widespread adoption of cameras. So, following the film factory information provided by the camera factory, I found the Jibei Film Factory before leaving for Beijing. They happened to be tinkering with Triumph brand domestically produced color film."

Even You Qili was impressed by Weidong's seemingly lucky precision: "Great! This is a good idea, and this product collaboration is also great!"

At that time, there were seven photosensitive material factories scattered across the country, and the Jibei Factory was even the least prominent among them, with basically no ready-made black and white film products.

Let Weidong go directly to the door, and the remaining detour will make him ahead of everyone else.

Not to mention that he had 100% confidence that the other party would be able to develop the lottery ticket, and signed a cooperation agreement when the other party didn't even have a product!
This is the real cheating.

But you wouldn't be able to perceive these details just by listening to him, so this whole success theory thing is a lie. "I was also wondering, why would the First Film Factory under the Ministry of Chemical Industry pay any attention to me, a lowly salesman with nothing? So I called the reporters in the provincial capital and asked if they could help to come to discuss this cooperation. It was indeed my suggestion. It just so happened that they were holding this photography exhibition before National Day. Their big backer named it the Triumph Cup, and Sunshine Daily facilitated this, so I just reaped the benefits."

You Qili understood immediately, "Right, right, right. With the help of two strong men, I can instantly pull myself up to their level. At this point, ranking and income are not the most important. Then what? I see you have an inscription from your leader."

He really loves to pay attention to this.

What Weidong cared about was the university students. "As part of the reform effort to save the Third Front factories, the newspaper arranged some seminars. Old You, I sincerely remind you that these official meetings and seminars are just formalities. If you get caught up in them, you'll suffer greatly. I'll discuss this later. Anyway, what I gained in Pingjing was a group of university students promoting cameras in universities, which was the key to the subsequent popularity of Olympians with cameras."

You Qili wouldn't put it down to luck. He pondered, "Well, the normal approach is to look for department stores or shops, but you chose to look for college students who are articulate and proactive. Not bad, that's a better idea."

Weidong kept reminding him, "Many people who arrive in Pingjing are mesmerized by the idea that a single word from their superiors can save them ten years of hard work. But I only brought back a few tons of oil. Selling 3,000 cameras a week is nothing in Pingjing. So we still have to work hard to expand our business. Of course, we also need to confirm that the oil business in the north is unreliable. Unless you have a stable source of train cars, it's difficult to guarantee large-scale transportation."

This is a typical Youshi-style business, with ideas that are made on the spur of the moment without much consideration for practical operations.

Weidong was puzzled. How many train cars full of canned food could be exchanged for an airplane? This was even more difficult to do in practice. Who was responsible for this? Anyway, he didn't believe that Lao You would do it himself.

"I conveniently handed the oil to the Guozhou Daily Chemical Factory. A local retired artist, whom the reporter introduced, coordinated the matter. He's a capable person. Despite being based in a prefecture-level city, where the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe is based, he's experienced both the battlefields of southern Xinjiang and the film and television industry in Beijing and Beijing. After hearing my description, his first reaction was that this photo exhibition should have a leader write an inscription. That would make a big difference."

You Qili was also in awe: "Of course, this guy has great vision and strategy."

Let Weidong laugh: "But he asked me for 10,000 yuan for the event funds, how are you going to handle it?"

You Qili really thought about it: "It's a bit risky. He might be a charlatan, but the benefits are too considerable. So I'll give him less and hold on to him step by step."

Let Weidong nod: "So I gave five hundred."

You Qili laughed: "It was a little too little, but he still managed it?"

Rang Weidong hummed, "I came back to Shangzhou to explain the situation to the city government. Reforms are surging everywhere, and it's really pointless to hold you back like this. But the city government wants me to produce some results to prove it. So I had to figure out that among all the industries surrounding the slaughter business on West Second Street, the only thing left is pig offal. It's cheap, plentiful, and no one wants it. I can make it into vacuum-packed cooked food with a variety of flavors and sell it nationwide."

This is where You Qili’s expression becomes so wonderful.

It's very complicated.

It's impossible not to be moved.

Weidong was a little obsessed with how to get him out, so he forced himself to set up this food factory which currently only provides investment but no return.

He also criticized me for using the money to buy low and sell high, which would be more efficient.

So I looked a little guilty and embarrassed.

But this seemed to have really neutralized his real intention of wanting to gain fame, and made his year in jail go to waste!

He wants to gain attention from above and return as the king admired by everyone under heavy pressure!

Now, he was silently being rescued and exchanged by Weidong. Respect is respect, so why is there something wrong?

Rang Weidong said it was a difficult task: "We couldn't just make any random flavor, so we contacted the famous Queen's Restaurant in Jiangzhou. They have branches in Hong Kong and Washington. We spent a lot of money to get a few recipes, and also learned that there was a master chef in Yuezhou who had researched the shelf life of vacuum packaging. We rushed there immediately, and it happened to be the last day of the Guangdong Trade Fair, and I saw a machine at the exhibition..."

The gears of fate changed.

The research and development of vacuum machines, the production of sanitary napkin machines, various supports from Jiangzhou City, the confidence to produce tens of thousands of packages a day, and the opportunity to seek advertising in Pingjing, coincided with the Olympic Games that attracted national attention.

By the time we were telling the story, it was already dinner time.

You Qili didn't care about eating臊子面 or twice-cooked pork with cabbage stalks. He just took a few bites and kept urging for more updates.

The two of them simply sat on the stern deck and communicated as night fell.

In order to expand sales across the country, he applied for cooperation with the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, but in return Feiyan Factory dumped the burden, allowing Weidong to take over the other party and tinker with it according to his own ideas:
"Yes, this leader's inscription has indeed brought about such great achievements, but shouldn't the prerequisite be that I have the ability to bear this inscription? Otherwise, why would I take over this fully automated imported production line that no one else can turn a profit?"

You Qili seemed to have heard it.

But it was obvious that he was more interested in the fact that Jin Zhuoqun actually got the inscription for the photography exhibition, which instantly elevated the exhibition to a higher level. Now he continues to advertise the film and camera every day, and it’s free!
Just based on this, Weidong gave Jin Zhuoqun only 10,000 yuan at the time, which was really stingy.

But think about it, a millionaire at that time was also very valuable.

When Wei Dong talked about building a front-line command center with Sunshine Daily, You Qili's saliva was about to flow out.

Especially when I heard that they got the advertising space on Zhuanertai, but did not further cooperate with Sunshine Daily, and did not have any substantial connection with any leaders or ministries in Pingjing, I was really regretful!
Wei Dong's expression became complicated. "Old You, after all I've said, aren't you still a little moved? Let me give you another clear example. This business section chief at Jibei Paper Mill, the first director in the country to contract a state-owned mill, a model who immediately changed the situation, is visited and interviewed every day, surrounded by lectures and meetings. How can he still do his job?"

Obviously, the main reason why this incident touched him was that Weidong knew that the fates of both Qiao Feng in the north and Murong in the south were not good.

This is simply because the foundation is too poor. Any brave and capable person can come and tinker with it and the performance will increase significantly.

Even if the tallest among the short ones work hard to promote and incite, they will often lose miserably when the confrontation really starts on a large scale.

I can’t tell You Qili this.

Old You nodded sincerely, but his eyes were still full of envy.

I'm not even that envious of the production scale that allowed Weidong to work so hard to build up several factories.

Speechless.

We arrived in Jiangzhou early the next morning. It was a bit surprising that neither Shen Laosan nor Dong Xueqing showed up at the dock. Didn’t I call them in advance yesterday? Sister Wolong also said that my sister would be in the city on Sunday.

I feel like this is the main reason why she held Erfeng back and didn't go back to Jiangzhou together.

Goudan drove the red van over and immediately went to the passenger and freight yard next door to work with the trucks after handing over the car. Now, 500 kilograms of cooked food are packaged and sent to Jiangzhou every day via the city-owned passenger ship, which is the small motorboat that Weidong took when he first sold bacon. It sells very well!
Weidong also arranged for a large amount of goods to be shipped back from Jiangzhou.

Very busy.

Let Weidong drive You Qili and the others around from the dock. "This is the Jiangzhou Industrial Products Trade Center. It's considered an official economic and trade exploration by Jiangzhou. I personally don't think it's very meaningful, but it has already boosted the prosperity of the surrounding wholesale markets."

The three people sitting in the back must have been dazzled by the sight and certainly didn't say a word.

Besides the two or three office locations that Weidong had already picked out for Old You, there was also the Shen Family Compound that Shen Cuiyue had marked on her list: "The fourth floor is the most suitable for the office, about 300 square meters, and the rent is 120 square meters. The storefront is a ground floor with a shop downstairs and a warehouse upstairs for living, so it's around 500 square meters. We need to apply for this compound with the neighborhood committee. I'm proposing some plans, but the specific solution depends on your opinion."

You Qili sat in the passenger seat, looking out intently: "What a big change."

Rang Weidong said: "I think the harvest from working hard on specific things is more important than engaging in ideological struggle."

You Qili did not hide it: "Weidong, only ideological struggle is the top-level thinking."

He still wanted to climb higher.
