Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1370 Reunion of Old Friends

Xiaowei's mother hung up the phone and snatched it from Xiaowei's hand: "Get out of here, I don't care about any of you anymore."

Xiao Wei stood there holding Lele, looking at Xiao Wei's mother, not daring to say anything back.

"Oh, oh, momo." Lele blew a bubble.

Xiao Hong took a shower, changed her clothes, and came downstairs: "You two, are you having cockfights?"

Xiaowei's mother turned and glared at Xiaohong: "You get out of here too." She took her phone and went to the kitchen.

Xiao Hong blinked: "What's wrong with this old lady?"

Xiao Wei said, "Let me call Xiao Bing to ask how he is. I told him he's all grown up now, what's there to worry about about him going to school? That's all."

Xiao Hong pouted, "Serves you right, you even dragged me into this. Auntie was already worried because Bei Bei didn't come back, and now you've pulled this stunt."

Xiao Wei looked at Xiao Hong, then at Lele: "Daughter, you need to grow up quickly, your task is very important."

Lele blew a bubble, kicked her little feet, and pouted. Xiaowei quickly started rocking her. Oh oh oh oh

I can't afford to offend anyone, what a miserable life.

……

In the evening, Xiaowei invited Changyuan, Liuliu, and the other six, or rather, the six couples, to get together.

All five of them are now married, and Lai Zi is also dating a local girl from Fengtian. She's not particularly pretty, but she's not ugly either; she's very energetic.

Zhao Di and Ke Xin Xiao Qin are both pregnant and came over with their big bellies.

None of the six people moved to the riverside; instead, they chose the high-rise buildings above the old food factory. Now the food factory has moved to Zhangshitun, and this area has been transformed into a large market, which suits them quite well.

Several years have passed, and everyone has changed and matured. With increased income and broadened horizons, their temperament has also changed, and they are no longer the same as before.

"Oh my, Changyuan, it's only been a few days, and your eyes are practically gone! Er Ya, are you treating Changyuan like a pig?"

Everyone laughed. Changyuan pinched his own face and said, "It's not that bad, is it? Xinghai is still all flesh and blood. As for us," he turned his head and looked everyone over, "except for Xiaowei and Liuliu, everyone seems to have gained weight, right? And Lina and Xiaohong too."

Xiao Hong glared at him: "Try being nine months pregnant and then having another month of confinement. I've only just finished my confinement period, okay?"

Lina threw the crumpled paper far away: "Go to hell."

Er Ya picked up her chopsticks and pointed them at Lina: "Are you trying to turn the world upside down? Believe me or not, I'll slice those two lumps off you!"

Lina is the most magnificent here, and Arya is a double A. I'm so envious!

After getting married, the shyness disappeared, and the fierce spirit of Northeastern women was revealed.

"So, anyone interested in coming to Beijing for a competition? The capital and Tianjing cities will be open for business next year," Xiao Wei asked with a smile as he poured drinks for everyone.

Chen Hui said, "Why are you even asking? Just go! Five plazas are opening at the same time, are you stupid not to go? The buildings are already ready."

Xiao Wei nodded: "That's true. I suggest you all move to Zhongguan Village. It's more convenient, and it'll be easier for the kids to go to school in the future."

Everyone is at Anji in Sanhao.

Xiao Wei and Chen Hui hadn't been to this restaurant, their first one, for a long time, so it was a chance to reminisce.

We didn't go up to the private room on the second floor; we just occupied a large table in the lobby on the first floor.

I've never met the store manager, Xiaowei, or Chen Hui before, and most of the staff have changed; it feels like things have changed beyond recognition.

As the dishes were served one by one, everyone ate and chatted, joking with each other. In the distance, a senior waiter showed off to the newcomers: "Those two are the bosses. When we came in, the bosses interviewed us directly and even came to watch the training."

Not everyone is suited to be a leader; being content with the status quo is also a kind of happiness.

"I suggest you transfer your household registration there. Your child will be a Kyoto resident from the moment they are born. At the very least, the education will be much better, and they will have a higher starting point in life."

At that time, there were no restrictions on entry to Beijing or Shanghai. Not only were there no restrictions, but the city also attracted talent from all over the country to settle there, and the household registration procedures were simple and quick.

Xinghai laughed and said, "Let's go, the three of us are just in time. The child can even be classmates with Xiaowei's family. It'll be perfect to leave him in their care, and it'll save us a lot of trouble."

Gazi nodded: "I'll listen to Xiaowei."

Xiao Wei said to Lai Zi's partner, "Ya Nan, don't be so polite. We grew up together and are used to messing around."

Yanan nodded: "Yes, I always hear them talking about you."

Xiao Wei asked, "What are you saying about me? Forget it, you don't need to say anything. Those bastards won't say anything nice, and I'm not listening to them."

Another burst of laughter filled the air, and a joyful atmosphere permeated the atmosphere.

Chen Hui took a sip of champagne, carefully choosing his words, and said, "I feel like, and I have a suggestion, but if you think it's useless, just pretend I didn't say anything. I feel you should all consider corporatizing."

You now have quite a lot of assets in several provinces, so being a sole proprietor is no longer suitable. Think about it yourselves.

"Corporate structure has many advantages: it makes purchasing, stocking, returns and exchanges, as well as marketing and other aspects much easier to manage."

Xiao Wei said, "The biggest advantage of corporatization is that you don't have to worry about everything. You can just leave it to the team. You only need to oversee things, and then you have more time. You can play, travel, or think about other things."

Siwei nodded: "I agree. I've been thinking about this too. Especially when it comes to purchasing goods, our purchasing costs are actually a bit high right now, and there's a lot of redundancy. We have to check the accounts of each store ourselves, so there are bound to be omissions."

Chen Hui said, "That's easy. You guys can take turns and help each other out."

Xiao Wei said, "There still needs to be differentiation. You can't make all six stores look the same. Besides, everyone has different perspectives and ideas."

Kexin said, "I want to create my own brand. Finding an OEM manufacturer won't be difficult, and the profit margin can be increased significantly."

Zhao Di said, "Go ahead and do it, I'll help you sell them."

Liu Liu, holding a wine glass, huddled on the sofa: "Actually, I think, why don't the six of us get together again and set up a big department store, run it as a company? Things are different now than before, and we can do other things too."

Several people looked at Xiaowei, who shook his head: "Don't look at me, you guys discuss it yourselves. This decision is yours to make. No matter what, corporatization is definitely going to happen."

My current perspective and thoughts differ from yours, and what I think may not be suitable for you.

Chen Hui laughed: "He doesn't even know how to decorate or set up our own shopping mall, yet we still ask him for advice."

Xiao Wei laughed and said, "Right now, we just focus on investing and don't get involved in the specifics anymore. We haven't paid attention to operations for quite some time."

Liu Liu said, "We could actually entrust the finances to Xiao Wei's finance company for unified management, which would be more efficient than if we managed it ourselves."

In the long run, it's a viable option. By then, we can handle all kinds of goods, both domestic and international, unlike now when we can't keep up.

Gazi asked, "How is the share capital divided?"

Lai Zi glanced at Ga Zi and said, "Let's split it evenly, and vote if necessary."

Xiao Wei thought for a moment and said, "I think Kexin is right. We should create a few of our own brands. Branding is a trend now, and people are increasingly recognizing brands. However, we need to plan our target audience carefully and not be too broad or we won't be able to grow big."

Siwei said, "How about we merge the sales into one company, and then each of us can develop our own brand?"

Chen Hui nodded: "That really works. You guys can discuss it and make sure there are no internal conflicts, then you can do it. It's promising. Not only can you sell it yourself, but you can also do large-scale wholesale."

Xiao Wei said with a smile, "I'll be in charge of sourcing the goods. Quality control is crucial; it's a big deal."

Lina asked, "What if there's a car accident? Our mall sells them too, and other stores also sell them."

Chen Hui said, "That's easy. We just need to control the area. We've only done business in a few provinces, there's still a lot of untapped territory, and there's also overseas. We're opening a store in London soon, and we'll set up a counter for you there."

Xiao Hong said, "We have to be careful with export products. It's best to go abroad and see what's going on. Otherwise, they might end up unsellable. There are still quite a few differences in various aspects."

Xiao Wei said, "There's no need to overthink it. We've been selling foreign products all along, and they weren't designed specifically for us. As long as it doesn't involve religion or anything like that, it's fine. Just make sure the body data is accurate."
