My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 190: A long history is not just talk
Jean Weidong does have this advantage.

Once he realized he was wrong, he quickly stopped and didn't even indulge in imagining how much profit he would make from building this building.

If you have it, you have it. If you don’t, it doesn’t matter.

Even the construction of the Shangzhou Food Factory building and the industrial park across the river have led to a reduction in extravagance and waste.

Becoming more practical and compact: "Actually, the most important thing now is whether we can open a factory there to really drive the scale of production."

The girl from Shangzhou immediately followed her thinking: "Yeah, there aren't any local specialties."

Rang Weidong summarized his experience: "It doesn't have to be local specialties. For example, I recently thought of making microwave ovens and hair dryers. Shangzhou Machinery Factory could make these appliances, but it doesn't have the advantage. Once others start making them, it will become a dead end. The advantage of the Xishan Factory is that it has several supporting factories nearby, which can minimize the costs of plastics, glass lenses, etc. The Postal and Telecommunications Equipment Factory is also because the electronic components industry is relatively developed around Chengdu. This pig offal food factory is also because there is a large-scale pig bristle slaughtering and export business, which can ensure that the raw material costs are extremely low. We should think along this line of thought."

In theory, it is already very awesome to have this kind of idea at this time.

The girl from Jianghu, who was just casually eating some peanuts for fun, listened slowly to the end before saying anything.

Her thinking was to follow the old ways of her ancestors: "The elders in my family always said that since ancient times, there are only four ways to make money: brothels, dealing cards, lending money, and making panaceas. If our family can do the first three, there will be no problem."

Wei Dong laughed and cursed, slamming his head on the table: "Bullshit! Just now you told me not to show off, but in the end you got beaten. You're actively washing your neck and offering it to be chopped off. Look at what you're saying!"

Pornography, gambling, and usury, what the hell, oh, isn’t this last panacea just poison?

You got them all!
Dong Xueqing immediately turned sideways as if to draw a clear line between them, staring intently at this person, wondering if he was going to bring disaster to our family. Hey, this is delicious too.

A worldly-wise girl wouldn't care about the food, and continued leisurely: "I'm just saying this. As long as it can spark some ideas, it's all right. After all, the old saying only talks about the root, there are countless shells. Brothels are lustful, and so are honey traps. But do you think if we replaced all the girls in the spicy hot pot restaurant with good-looking girls, would the business be good? That's still lustful, but our business is already good enough, so we don't need to think of such tricks."

Let Weidong think about it: "That's the reason."

Then he laughed again: "You two are dressed very nicely. The girls in the office all wear work clothes like this. They go in and out... It's a bit ostentatious. Hey, Xiaoqing, you can dress like this in your company. You can go and suggest it. This trick is sure to please the boss."

It was clearly Shen Lao San who said it, but when Wei Dong came over, Feng Chu was overjoyed: "Yes! Brother is really amazing. I will go talk to the leader tomorrow and ask them to find a female leader."

She didn't see that when she said her brother was awesome, Shen Cuiyue twisted her mouth to imitate her accent, only letting Weidong see it, and then instantly changed back to being intimate: "No, it's not good for a female leader to wear this at her age. She will definitely not be happy. Find a man."

Alas, when it comes to these things that explore human nature, wandering around has become a subconscious instinct.

Wei Dong quickly thought about these four points and realized that it was impossible to engage in pornographic gambling and loan fraud. Even if the packaging and appearance could make money, it was not his goal in Shangzhou.

This brothel has never been banned in the next forty years, not to mention the famous Dongguan racetrack. I am afraid that from now on, for the next ten years or so, all the beauties in the country will go south to make money. I will not make this kind of money anyway.

There is no need to talk about gambling. No matter how it is packaged, there seems to be gimmicks like raffles and lotteries. Yes, Dong Xueying said that Lao You and others have tried this method. If you are not careful, you will be hit by this thing, so you must not touch it.

Lending money is what Weidong despises the most. If he uses the money he earns to compound interest, or even takes advantage of the poor, that would be utterly unscrupulous.

This is vividly reflected in the various loan companies in later generations.

Only this last panacea...

Just then, Dong Xueqing, who was sitting by the window, said, "It's so sunny, so the manager should come with someone to find us, right?"

sun?

This word really made Weidong's mind burn. He turned around and looked, and saw that Manager Zhang was indeed accompanying a middle-aged man crossing the road.

Their red minivan was still parked in the shade of the trees opposite, so it was most likely the general manager of the photo studio and everyone else had come.

Weidong, however, was no longer as excited about the building renovation as before. He even tried to be more grounded and not to be too ambitious or overconfident. He tried desperately to think about practical things: "The sun is really strong, it's blazing brightly... Shit!"

Oh, the sun!
When the sun rises, our love will last forever!

Anyone who has experienced the early 1990s will be familiar with this sentence.

When this line from the Sun God Oral Liquid commercial ignited this train of thought, all the subsequent thoughts flooded in: "Hahaha, a panacea! It really should be a panacea. Third brother, I'll leave you a share of this factory, just for your four words 'panacea'!"

Dong Xueqing was surprised for a moment, but immediately shared her surprise with Shen Cuiyue: "You figured it out?"

Wei Dong was extremely confident: "I figured it out, I'll give it as a gift, Old Platinum! Hahahaha!"

What our ancestors said really makes sense.

For a remote and poor place like Shangzhou, labor may be the cheapest resource, so they make nutritional health products, which are the panacea for health, longevity and intelligence that everyone hopes for.

It ranges from the Sun God Oral Liquid that should have been available in the late 1980s, to the Red Heart K whose advertisements were plastered on walls all over the country's cities and towns, to the Six Walnuts that all children had to drink, and to the Platinum that the elderly scrambled to buy.

Business on this line has never died down, it's a completely legal panacea!

It's simply a matter of course. Even that glass factory is now producing glass bottles. Isn't it a supporting factory? The hemp spinning factory, soap factory, and match factory should all go there and collect all the products to support the production of health products factories!
This thing can be produced anywhere without wasting raw materials!
I already have the sales channels and I also have advertising means. Now if I come up with a truly profitable product, can I boost the economy of Shangzhou?

Shangzhou was very poor, but it also had a key advantage: its location on the Yangtze River provided convenient large-scale transportation channels, and simply releasing goods along the Yangtze River could easily expand sales.

An influence that occupies half of the country.

Although the two girls didn't understand the meaning of giving old platinum as a gift, they were naturally very happy to see him singing with joy. They poured watermelon juice for each other and clinked glasses with their plastic flower sisters to celebrate.

Xiaodie was still sitting on Weidong's lap, and she also raised her head and stretched out her hands, crying out that she wanted to join in the fun.

Let Weidong apply some watermelon juice for the child to taste.

Just then, Manager Zhang walked in with the middle-aged man. Seeing the three people laughing and talking happily, they immediately came over here.

Before Weidong could raise his hand, Shen Laosan had already asked for new dishes on the table, more bowls and chopsticks, and the arrangement of chairs. Fengchu could also stand up to help take the child.

The middle-aged man was probably in his forties, about the same age as You Qili. He had a fair complexion and glasses, which made him look elegant. "Liu Taiyuan, the photo studio across the street is a family business passed down from our fathers. I'm grateful for your kindness and the opportunity to meet you today. I apologize for your disrespect."

To be honest, when it comes to this kind of handover skills, Wei Dong is not even as good as Shen Lao San, and is even worse than Dong Xueqing.

However, he was wealthy and generous, and he was sincere and easygoing. "Who would have thought that I was just a country kid taking pictures, and Brother Zhang took such good care of me? Isn't that how fate has developed? Come, let's have another table over here so we can eat and chat. This is my wife's sister, Xiao Dong, and this is Xiao Shen, the manager of my factory. We are all very busy, and it's a rare opportunity to get out and bask in the sun and take the kids for a walk."

Unexpectedly, the other party looked at the large round table in the restaurant and pointed to the small table by the window: "This is it, it's just right for us to watch and chat."

That's fine. Shen Cuiyue immediately asked the waiter to remove all the dishes, but when Weidong looked at her, he understood and arranged to pack them all up to avoid waste.

But you must show respect and courtesy to your guests.

Liu Taiyuan started with this: "I heard from Xiao Zhang that Miss Shen's family has a long history."

Shen Cuiyue took over the conversation: "That's all in the past. Now I'm leaving it to my family."

Maybe it sounds a bit pretentious to say this to other people.

It is precisely this time-honored brand that has been around since the Republic of China and has been supported by two or three generations to this day. It is extremely clear how many joys and sorrows are behind these words.

It has nothing to do with ZZ, it's just about the hard struggles of a small person with some achievements against the backdrop of great history.

On the contrary, it is not that difficult to just go with the flow when you have nothing.

He couldn't help but sighed deeply, and was very kind to Rang Weidong: "Excuse me, I'm a little emotional."

Let Weidong sigh: "Tell me, what are your requirements for this building? I will try my best to meet them, and I will also try my best to build the building bigger, but it will be done in two stages."

It was clearly he who asked what the other party said, but he brought out his own content first. Dong Xueqing was a little surprised. Didn’t he just say that he would not build high-rise buildings?

But she said nothing.

Liu Taiyuan immediately sat down and listened attentively: "You go ahead."

Let Weidong point and describe: "First, build a six or seven-story building. It's beautiful and spacious, but this is called the podium. Later, we can build dozens of stories on top of it. There are two reasons for this. First, there are many policy changes now, and I don't want to be the first to do so. Second, I have many businesses that need a lot of money. I'll build half of it first to set up the scene for you and me."

Private business owners were rare at that time. Even in a public-private partnership, Liu Taiyuan still had a private share.

If it weren’t for the cultural status of this historical photo studio, it probably wouldn’t have been able to survive in the past few years.

Therefore, I was deeply touched by the many policy changes: "You are so pragmatic, and I won't hide it. Regarding Xiao Zhang's talk about the future prospects of the photography industry, can you be more detailed? We have indeed been too closed in recent years and rarely received external information."

At this point, Weidong naturally had to throw out some concrete facts: "Suppose a country has a billion people. Originally, birth, aging, sickness, and death, as well as weddings and school enrollment, would all be photographed at a photo studio. But with the widespread use of cameras, there are only specific times for photos. You won't blame me for this historical shift, will you? For me, this is just a business deal. For the country, it's about allowing the people to enjoy recording every detail of their lives. Triumph Film Factory and I don't seek to produce masterpieces, we only aim to record life, so that everyone can afford a camera and color film. And then it's the photo studios that will be killed."

Manager Zhang was sitting at the back. Even when the waiter brought the dishes, he lost his professional reaction and just stood there in a daze with Liu Taiyuan.

From the moment he met Rang Weidong, he really didn't expect that it was this young man who would raise the guillotine and cut down this industry.

They even tried their best to cooperate actively and seriously to take so many beautiful cheap camera works, which was simply pulling a rope around their own necks.

How ironic!

But smart people will not curse and complain one-sidedly.

Liu Taiyuan was distracted for only a moment, but quickly recovered. "I've never thought about it so deeply. So, should we focus our main energy on shooting high-end works?"

Let Weidong look at the photo studio opposite, pause for a few seconds, and decide to completely destroy the other party.

This is the only way to get all the cards into your hand.
