Chapter 63: Zhuang Chaoying: What did I do wrong?
"There is justice in the world, and efforts will always be rewarded. It is better to do it than to say it. If you want to do it, do it best..."
As an advertising song for the "BBK" recorder, this song has gained a high popularity as it continues to be broadcast on CCTV.
What followed was the big sale of "BBK" tape recorders. The factory in Fujian was already working at full capacity and still could not meet the rising sales demand. There were often large trucks queuing up at the factory gate. Before the products produced were entered the warehouse, these truck drivers rushed to ship the goods.
The production capacity will definitely not be able to increase so quickly in a short period of time. Uncle Lin was so anxious that he was afraid that he would not be able to sell it if he produced too much, but now he is worried that he will sell too well.
In response, after listening to Uncle Lin Er's report, Qin Hao gave a plan, that is, "supply chain management".
"After talking for a long time, wasn't it just handing over the order to another factory for making?" Uncle Lin Er said disrespectfully.
Qin Hao said in a serious tone: "This is a completely different matter. If you hand over the product to the OEM factory as a hand-off owner, there will be problems sooner or later. The product quality cannot be tracked, and there is no way to talk about after-sales service. This supply chain management requires you to control the situation of the OEM factory throughout the process and even participate in their daily management."
"I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate, and the boss may not agree."
"If you don't agree, then hand over the order to others. What we are looking for is a long-term partner, not a one- or two orders that will be overturned. Uncle Er, you have to remember that the large number of orders in your hands are our bargaining chips. We must make good use of this bargaining chip, not just OEM factories, but also control upstream component factories and downstream dealers in the future. As long as we can do a good job in the supply chain, even if we don't have a factory in our hands, we can still sell our products to the whole world."
Uncle Lin swallowed: "You are a college student and your vision must be higher than me. I listen to you. Then that's it. I asked the third sister and the others to stay in the OEM factory throughout the journey, staring at them to work, and ensuring the quality of our products."
"Not just that, you must mark the source factory for every batch of products to facilitate after-sales traceability in the future. At the same time, you must also cultivate a group of skilled and active backbone members. Don't always think about doing everything by yourself. In addition to exhausting yourself, employees will not be able to exercise. Over time, all capable employees will also run away, and the company will gradually lose its vitality."
"Okay, I've written down everything you said, I'll make arrangements afterwards."
Uncle Lin Er has the biggest priority, that is, his strong execution ability.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Hao quickly walked towards the classroom.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the classroom, I heard some classmates making excuses.
"There is justice in the world, and there will always be rewards for your efforts..."
Qin Hao laughed and scolded: "I just sang one by one, but I didn't see you buying one to support me."
"Then you have to give us the lowest discount, otherwise we can't afford a recorder for hundreds of dollars."
After everyone laughed and made a fuss, a classmate asked curiously: "Qin Hao, how much does it cost to shoot this advertisement?"
"This is a commercial secret, how can I tell you casually?" Qin Hao said mysteriously.
The students booed and made another noise.
Li Jia smiled and looked at Qin Hao as she "stolen in a siege". She had no intention of rescue. In fact, she was also very curious about how much money Qin Hao could make for a commercial. She heard from her cousin that the appearance fees of Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities were as high as hundreds of thousands or even millions.
"Or why, whoever helps me do this month's duty will tell you." Qin Hao cleared his throat.
A male classmate volunteered: "Isn't it just a month's duty? I'll do it."
"Tell me quickly, don't cheat!"
Amid the excited eyes of everyone, Qin Hao spread his hands: "I confiscate the money when shooting this advertisement."
"impossible."
"That's right, can you still suffer this loss?"
Qin Hao pretended to be helpless and said, "I don't want it either, but who made this boss of BBK a relative?"
“Ah~~~”
The students were disappointed and dispersed.
"Don't forget to be on duty for me, thank you." Qin Hao patted the male classmate's shoulder, and walked over him and sat next to Li Jia naturally.
I don’t know when it started, but the students had already agreed that the seats beside Li Jia belonged to Qin Hao. Even the female students who usually had a good relationship with Li Jia would sit aside very consciously.
"Are you lied to them?"
Qin Hao looked helpless: "Am I such a dishonest person in your mind?"
"Hmph, you don't have a few truths in your mouth anyway." Li Jia frowned and said pretty.
Qin Hao made a very sad expression: "Oh, what made you misunderstand me like this..."
"Stop doing this, I won't be as easy to cheat as I was in high school."
Well, this girl has learned a lot, so Qin Hao had to lower his voice and confess: "I didn't lie to them this time. I did confiscate the money for this advertisement, and I will shoot more advertisements for 'BBK' in the future."
"However, I have some shares in this company."
Li Jia suddenly realized: This is the Qin Hao I know.
However, Li Jia felt that it was just a commercial, and even if she had shares, there would definitely not be too many.
After class, Zhuang Tunan suddenly pulled Qin Hao aside, rubbed his hands and hesitated for a long time. Before Qin Hao was about to lose his patience, he asked carefully: "Is there any way to make money without delaying his studies?"
Qin Hao looked at Zhuang Tunan with some confusion: "Didn't Aunt Huang give you a living expenses after school starts this time?"
"My mother gave us living expenses, but I heard from Xiaoting that she went to ask her father for money, but she didn't get it. Grandpa also said that we would not give us living expenses in the future. In this way, the burden of the family fell on my mother. I wanted to help her reduce the burden."
Zhuang Tunan came back from Pingyao Ancient City this time and encountered the biggest blow in his life. He never thought that his grandfather would treat them like that. Grandma's sarcasm, second uncle and second aunt's encouragement, and father's indifference made him disgusted with the big family of "Bankmaker" for the first time in his life.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Are you serious?"
Zhuang Tunan nodded seriously.
Qin Hao thought for a while: "The part-time job that suits you, let me think about it..."
"Is the tutor okay?"
Zhuang Tunan hesitated a little: "But I don't know how to teach students."
"Just like I usually teach Lin Dongzhe, don't you often teach Xiaoting at home? The signboard of Tongji University is still very useful."
After hearing this, Zhuang Tunan's eyes lit up, and then he was a little worried: "How should I find such a tutor?"
"It's very simple. When you don't have classes, you can set up a stall at the gates of middle schools or print some flyers to promote yourself to parents. If they need it, they will naturally talk to you. Don't forget to bring your student ID."
Zhuang Tunan went to prepare in a hurry. Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh at his back, reform and opening up are different, and even wood like Zhuang Tunan began to think about making money.
The sophomore courses are relatively less arduous than freshman year. The main reason is that you have a foundation for freshman year. Although the difficulty of continuing to learn is increased, there are traces to follow. Unlike when you first started to study professional courses in the freshman year, you are completely blind and going from zero to one is often the most difficult.
Qin Hao found that his classmates around him had a lot of spare time, and Li Jia and Zhuang Tunan were busy making money on Sundays. Some other students either participated in club activities or completed group homework, but he was a little idle.
Until later, Tongji University established a Go club. Qin Hao had to take the title of vice president under the repeated bombardment of the class teacher and counselor, and occasionally used his spare time to teach chess.
With Qin Hao's reputation as the foundation, the Go Club quickly became the second largest club in Tongji University besides the Poetry Club.
After getting busy, time passes quickly and the end of the period is coming in a blink of an eye.
After the final exam, the students went their separate ways and prepared to go home for the New Year.
"Zhuang Tunan, do you really plan to go back the day before New Year's Eve?"
In the dormitory, Zhuang Tunan nodded firmly: "Well, I took on a few tutors and made more money while the winter vacation is over. I don't have to ask my mother for living expenses next semester."
After trying to make money, Zhuang Tunan was out of control. He found that he would feel very down-to-earth when spending his own money without reaching out to others.
Li Jia is going back to Northeast China this year for the New Year. This time she was very domineering and told her parents on the phone that they would not have to pay for the tickets, and she would bring back a lot of gifts from Shanghai.
Regarding Li Jia's money making, their parents who were far away in Northeast China just heard her mention it on the phone, and they didn't know how much money she made and how she made it. They subconsciously thought that Li Jia had just done some tutoring and earned some living expenses.
For this reason, he also said on the phone that Li Jia didn't know how to save and was blinded after making some money.
Li Jia didn't care, she just smiled and said she wanted to give them a surprise.
Facing the cold wind of 1985, Qin Hao returned to Suzhou.
Song Ying and Lin Dongzhe were naturally very happy, but Huang Ling kept looking behind Qin Hao.
"Aunt Huang, Zhuang Tunan asked me to tell you that he still has a few students who have not finished teaching and will not come back later."
Huang Ling couldn't hide her loss in her eyes. Logically speaking, when the child grew up, she could help her family share the pressure. She should be happy, but she would rather her son not be sensible so early. At this moment, she hated Zhuang Chaoying for the first time in her life.
If it weren't for his weakness, his son wouldn't have been unable to go home. He would have to go to make up for other people's children during the winter vacation.
For this reason, Huang Ling ran to the banker and had a big fight, and even wanted to drag Zhuang Chaoying to the Civil Affairs Bureau to divorce. Zhuang’s grandparents, who had previously said that they wanted Zhuang Chaoying to divorce, were timid and began to get along with the poor.
After Huang Ling made a big fuss, Zhuang Chaoying called Zhuang Tunan with guilt and asked him to come back quickly.
"Dad, when I come back, my grandparents will definitely ask me to give Zhendong Zhenbei a lesson. I might as well stay in Shanghai, at least to reduce the burden on my family."
Zhuang Tunan's tone was very cold, making Zhuang Chaoying feel like falling into an ice cave.
"Tunan, is it good for the family? It's good for everyone. Zhendong Zhenbei is your cousin. Is their future not more important than that little money?"
Zhuang Tunan sneered: "I thought so before, but since last time at my grandfather's house, you didn't say a word to Xiaoting for me from beginning to end, I realized that in your heart, grandparents, second uncle and second aunt, and even Zhendong Zhenbei are all ahead of me and Xiaoting, and only my mother will put us first."
"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. The long-distance phone bill is expensive, so I'll hang up."
Listening to the busy voice coming from the other end of the phone, Zhuang Chaoying felt a sense of anger in his chest, which made him unable to breathe.
He used to think that his wife Huang Ling was ignorant and did not take their family seriously, but his son's words made him frightened. At some point, there was no one around him who could "understand" him.
On New Year's Eve, the day before, Zhuang Tunan finally came back, but he has obviously lost a lot these days. On the one hand, it is a very brain-intensive job to give tutors. After all, when it comes to asking tutors to make up lessons, there must be problems with children's learning ability. To improve their academic performance and let parents see the value, they need to formulate targeted learning plans. This is also the experience summarized by Zhuang Tunan in the past semester as a tutor.
On the other hand, because Shanghai is relatively large, he has been tutoring almost all over the Puxi area. If he exercises a lot and cannot keep up with his food, he will naturally lose weight.
Huang Ling was so distressed that she was about to shed tears. She took out all the meat tickets at home and stewed soup for Zhuang Tunan every day to nourish his body.
For the New Year’s Eve dinner, Lin and Huang families still closed the yard gate and had it together.
On the dining table, Song Ying kept picking up food for Zhuang Tunan. Seeing Zhuang Tunan ate and no longer had the same kindness as before, Song Ying couldn't help but look at Lin Wufeng. The two sighed silently, saying that they would not persuade him to make peace, but in this case, she really wanted to persuade Huang Ling to divorce Zhuang Chaoying.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, the two families sat together to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and started chatting while watching.
"Lin Dongzhe, you will be in the third grade of junior high school in the second half of next year. You will be facing the high school entrance examination soon. Should you review after the New Year?" Lin Wufeng reminded.
Lin Dongzhe was rare this time without being upset. The high school entrance examination was a watershed. He still remembers what Qin Hao said to him in the library, and he didn't want to be separated from Zhuang Xiaoting.
"Xiaoting, you don't know anything. You can also ask me during this time. I'm going to go to Shanghai early this year."
Zhuang Tunan's words made Huang Ling froze: "Tunnan, even without your father, I can afford you..."
"Mom, no matter what, I made an appointment with my parents. You have to be trustworthy, right?"
Just when Huang Ling almost couldn't help crying, Lin Dongzhe suddenly pointed at the TV: "Brother Hao, your advertisements have been posted until the Spring Festival Gala."
Sure enough, a billboard with the "BBK" inclusion machine appeared at the Spring Festival Gala. With the accumulation of half a year, the "BBK" production capacity has climbed very quickly. Qin Hao felt that the time had come, so he asked Uncle Lin Er to place advertisements on the Spring Festival Gala. Now it seems that the effect is pretty good.
