Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 101 You don’t want to change your career, do you?
"What are you talking about? Third sister, this door is locked for you. I can't get out without climbing through the window."

Yao Weijun said, reaching out and opening the door, "Xiu Nan, get ready to eat!"

"Wash your face and brush your teeth!" Yu Xiunan in the room gave him an enamel basin with toothpaste, toothbrush, and towels in it.

Then he picked up the footbath with a red face and hurried out.

The third sister Yao Weifang saw this scene at the door of the side room, smiled and turned around to go into the house to work.

Yao Weijun brushed his teeth and washed his face before returning to the house. When Yu Xiunan also finished washing, he said with concern: "Don't go to school today. Let's take a day off. I will be going out later, so I can help you to go to school and say something."

"It's not good. It's not easy to arrange for temporary leave. I have three classes today. I can just come back early in the afternoon. I don't have to trouble the school leaders."

Yu Xiunan shook her head slightly. Although she knew that Yao Weijun was doing it for her own good, she didn't want to ask for leave. After all, she was still in the review period for full-time employment, so she tried not to give the school the impression of being lazy.

"Are you feeling better now?" Yao Weijun hugged her and asked warmly, stroking her back.

"You're still asking! It's all your fault, it's not serious or serious!"

Yu Xiunan frowned shyly, then lowered her head, "Well... much better."

"That's good. I'll give you a massage at night to help you recover faster."

Yao Weijun said, pecking her on her fair face.

"..."

After hearing this, Yu Xiunan's body tensed up, and she felt ashamed and embarrassed. She begged in a low voice with an expression of fear, "Let's take a rest for the night, okay?"

"It depends on the situation. It will be much better if you don't be too nervous. You have to learn to enjoy...life!"

"Come on, you're enjoying it, but I'm not used to it at all... I can't wait to bite you!"

"You bite whoever is mad at you, do you dare?"

"Ah! Stop talking nonsense!"

"..."

The two of them had a gentle fight in the house for a while. When they heard footsteps coming from the yard towards the door, they took the lead in leaving the house.

"I was planning to call you two to dinner, Xiu Nan. If Junzi bullies you from now on, come to Third Sister at any time if I don't deal with him!"

Third sister Yao Weifang stood at the foot of the steps outside the door, stretched out her hand to pull Yu Xiunan towards the side room, and said cheerfully.

"..." Yu Xiunan couldn't help but blush again as she thought of the previous situation.

After breakfast, Yao Weijun originally planned to take her to school, but Yu Xiunan insisted on riding a bicycle by herself, not wanting to waste her man's time by picking her up and dropping her off every day.

Yao Weijun didn't insist too much, and told Yu Xiunan to ride slower on the road, and asked the third sister to stay for one more day. After the latter nodded in agreement, he took the lead in riding his motorcycle out of the courtyard.

The village party secretary Li Qiming helped him last night. He had to smooth over the matter and let people pass by the village to let people know that he really went to the commune.

In fact, Yao Weijun really didn't go to the commune today. He had to go to the four joint-operation areas to collect money, and at the same time, he contacted the Dawangmiao joint-operation area about cans and bottles.

Dawangmiao Joint Area is not much smaller than Xiheba. There are nearly 6000 people commuting here all year round. There are many factories and workshops in the joint area, including a county-owned unit, Qianjin Glass Products Factory.

We are now planning to start canning sugar water. It is estimated that the citric acid that Professor Ling contacted us will arrive in the next two days. The iron pot is ready at home, and the cooperative will buy a few steamers and everything will be ready, so I will take advantage of my free time today. Yao Weijun planned to go to Qianjin Glass Factory to inquire about the purchasing situation of cans and bottles.

The bacteria in the greenhouse have just been cultivated and are still in the development stage. As long as you check the temperature and humidity inside every day, there is usually not much work.

Yao Weijun has arranged for several people to watch there almost around the clock, which will not take up much of his own time.

He rushed to Xiheba first, settled the bill with Lao Dai, and then went to Xiematai... He made his last stop at Dawang Temple.

After completing the tour of the other three joint areas, Yao Weijun rode his motorcycle to the streets of Dawang Temple.

"Brother Yao, this way!"

Soon he saw Lao Zhai, who was also waiting for him at the same place, waving his hand from a distance.

"How's it going? Are the sales going well these days?"

Yao Weijun came to the roadside, parked his motorcycle, sat on it and asked with a smile.

"It's okay. It's much better than repairing shoes before." Lao Zhai said as he took out 500 yuan and handed it to Yao Weijun.

"Lao Zhai, I want to ask you something."

Yao Weijun collected the money and handed out the cigarettes. "Tell me, what's bothering you, brother Yao?"

Lao Zhai drew a match and lit cigarettes for Yao Weijun and himself respectively, flicked out the flames and threw them at his feet, with a curious expression on his face.

"Do you know anyone in the glass products factory in our joint venture area?"

Yao Weijun asked.

"How should I put it? We know each other a little bit, but we just met and said hello. It's not a good relationship."

Lao Zhai smiled sheepishly, and then added: "This glass factory specializes in making all kinds of bottles, including wine bottles, soda bottles, and can bottles. If you want to buy it, Brother Yao, you can actually go to the county store. The prices are pretty much the same.”

"I'm here now. If possible, I still want to visit the factory. The price is one thing, and the other thing is that I want to find someone I can talk to and ask about customization."

Yao Weijun explained with a smile.

He had noticed the shape of the cans and bottles in the cooperative before. Except for some minor differences, they were almost the same.

Since we are going to make cans in the future, it is best to use bottles that can be distinguished from other people’s bottles. This will also help with subsequent sales.

Although Yao Weijun doesn't understand any profound marketing methods, his experience in his previous life is still far ahead of people's thinking and insight these days.

In my previous life, I saw many kinds of canned products through supermarket windows. In most cases, good packaging can indeed attract purchasing power. This has been tested by the market, and it is definitely correct!
"Brother Yao, you don't want to change your career, do you? Well, aren't we doing quite well in the speculation business? You..."

When Lao Zhai heard that Yao Weijun was going to the factory to customize bottles, the first thing that came to his mind was not that Yao Weijun didn't have the strength, but that he was worried that Yao Weijun would have a new way to make money and might not engage in speculator trading in the future!

"I didn't say you didn't do a good job!" Yao Weijun smiled, "Old Zhai, don't think about useless things. How should we cooperate in the speculation business? However, you should also mention your sales volume, which is more than 100 a day. Jin, you can’t earn much, and I have to work hard, right?”

"..." Lao Zhai pulled his hair and said with a dry smile: "It's not bad, I'm quite content. I've spent 80 and [-] yuan a month on it, and I'm just using this money. Now you can't find a formal job for me." !”

Obviously, he is very satisfied with his current income and does not have too many ambitions.

Yao Weijun didn't say any more about this.

I originally planned to try to guide Lao Zhai to become a distributor and let him follow You Damin's path. I could also make more profits to support him in making more money.

But now it seems that Lao Zhai has no plans to grow bigger, and is more willing to settle for the status quo. He feels that it is already good.

"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now. From now on, you can just sell goods with peace of mind. Let's go back to the glass factory in your joint venture area. Do you know anyone from the business team in their factory?"

Yao Weijun changed the subject and asked again.

"The business people in the factory... really don't have enough connections." Lao Zhai pondered and shook his head, but then changed the subject and raised his head and said: "I actually know one of the workshop directors. He came to my place to repair shoes before. The more times we do it, the more we become familiar with each other, which can be regarded as a bit of a friendship.”

"Do you know where he lives? Or can you take me to see him when you get off work at noon?"

Yao Weijun thought there was a way, so he first contacted the workshop director, believing that the latter should also know the general standard requirements for customization.

In fact, if you go directly to the glass factory to talk, you can also know the specific situation. However, if you encounter a problem first and then ask someone to do it, it is completely different from first asking someone to do the work.

After all, the person entrusting the job should also take into account the friendship between colleagues in the factory. Well, the original negotiation had collapsed, but you came forward to guarantee the agreement. Where does this leave the face of the person who originally refused?
Yao Weijun now considers things more comprehensively. Before he knew the specific requirements of the glass factory for customization, he hoped to inquire about it first, so that he could be well prepared and not make a mistake.

He is still in the initial stage of making cans, and he can't digest too many bottles. But once customization is involved, the glass factory has to design and open molds, so he must be very stuck with the quantity. If it is too small, They won't talk to you at all.

Nowadays, any product is still in a serious shortage of supply. In many cases, it does not mean that buyers can buy things if they have money. You have to have connections.

Yao Weijun has no acquaintances in the glass factory, so for the time being he has to manage it on his own.

"I know where he lives! Brother Yao, if you want to see him before get off work at noon, it's okay. The director of this workshop is named Feng. His home is on the street behind him. He usually rides his bicycle home for lunch at noon."

Lao Zhai finished speaking quickly, threw away the cigarette butt and looked at the sky, "Okay, I will go to each factory at the end of the day. If you want to go, you have to do it early. We can just wait downstairs at his house."

Yao Weijun nodded happily when he heard this, but pointed to the peanut and melon seed stall on the roadside in the distance and asked: "What about your stall? Find someone to watch it or take it with you?"

"Take it with you. I bought an old bicycle. After introducing you and Director Feng to each other later, I will go directly to the intersection to sell goods. Brother Yao, don't be surprised. The best business is at noon. time, so you guys talk about what I should do, okay?"

Lao Zhai said with an embarrassed smile.

"Don't worry, I won't delay your sales. Let's go now."

Yao Weijun started his motorcycle and signaled.

"Okay, wait a minute!" Lao Zhai quickly put away the stall, tied him in the back seat of the car, and took Yao Weijun to a street behind.
