Chapter 3596 Chapter 3598 [Finding a way to make a living]
In the Golden Week of the 11th, Xiang Nante took Wang Xiang and Luo Meisu to Yanjing City.
In the play, it was an agreement between Wang Xiang and his son Wang Yang to travel to the capital, but unfortunately the trip failed to take place due to Wang Yang's death. This became a big regret in Wang Xiang's heart.
So when Wang Bei went to the capital to take the Academy of Fine Arts exam, Wang Xiang decided to send his son to the capital, but he fell into a cornfield on the way.
So Xiang Nan planned to help him make up for this regret and take his parents to the capital to have a good sightseeing and relax.
Wang Xiang and Luo Meisu were born and grew up in the birch forest since they were young, and have almost never traveled far. Not to mention traveling, even business trips are not their turn.
So this is basically their first time hanging out. Xiang Nan also spared no expense for this purpose and specially bought sleepers so that they could have a good rest.
“Son, we can just sit on the hard seat, why should we buy a sleeper?” Luo Meisu said feeling sorry for Qian.
"Mom, don't think about saving money for your son. Now that your son has made money, just follow me and enjoy the blessings." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "It's easy to come out to play. Of course, you have to play well and play to your heart's content. You Don't feel bad about the money. When you look back, my son will make all the money back by writing a few more articles."
"Yes, my son has become promising now, so don't be so petty." Wang Xiang also advised.
“Yeah.” Luo Meisu relaxed.
After arriving in the capital, Xiang Nan took Wang Xiang and Luo Meisu to visit the Forbidden City, Jingshan, Summer Palace, Badaling, Tombs of the Thirteen Emperors and other places of interest.
“Son, Chongzhen hanged himself from this tree back then.” Wang Xiang also pointed to a crooked tree on Jingshan Mountain.
Xiang Nan nodded.
In addition to sightseeing, the three of them also tasted Yanjing's specialties, such as roast duck, fried liver, braised pork, bean juice, etc.
“Oh, this thing is rancid~” Luo Meisu almost vomited when she tasted the bean juice.
“Mom, this is the taste of bean juice.” Xiang Nan said with a smile, outsiders are not used to drinking it.
…
Enter the year 2000 and welcome the new century.
Hua Steel officially declared bankruptcy and liquidation due to insolvency.
Although the former factory director Song Yukun honestly confessed his crimes after being arrested, he also revealed all his gang members. Such as secretary Wang Wuqi, workshop director Wang Xiaoming, factory class teacher Zhao Guangzhou, security section chief Xing Jianchun, etc.
However, Hua Steel had already accumulated too much trouble and was unable to recover, so it finally chose bankruptcy and liquidation.
As a result, Wang Xiang had to leave the factory where he had worked hard for half his life.
When he walked out of Huagang that day, his eyes were red.
He entered the factory at the age of eighteen and worked hard for Hua Steel for most of his life. He even wanted his son to continue working in the factory.
Unexpectedly, it would end like this. How could he not be sad?
In fact, Wang Xiang was not the only one. On the day the factory closed, countless employees cried.
In order to comfort his father, Xiang Nan specially cooked a large table of dishes and prepared a bottle of Maotai, a good wine, to have a good meal with Wang Xiang.
“Dad, let’s eat food and drink~” Xiang Nan greeted him enthusiastically and filled a glass for Dad.
"Okay, drink." Wang Xiang nodded, took a sip of old wine, and soon blushed, and then choked and said, "The first shovel of soil in Huagang was dug by my father and your grandfather. When this factory was built, there were many not easy.
After Song Yukun and others were arrested, they confessed to their crimes of corruption and bribery. All together, more than 60 million. And just for these 60 million, they caused the loss of Hua Steel's assets worth more than 1 billion. Because of this, Huagang became insolvent in the end and had no choice but to choose bankruptcy liquidation. It can be said that Huagang fell into the hands of these silverfish.
"Yes, they deserve to die, deserve to die!" Xiang Nan agreed and poured another glass of wine for Wang Xiang.
His grievances need to be vented, which is good for his spirit and body.
…
Wang Xiang drank and scolded him all night long. When he had vented enough, Xiang Nan sent him back to his room to sleep, and at the same time used his power to force him to drink.
Wang Xiang is almost fifty years old after all, and his physique is far less agile than when he was young. Xiang Nan doesn't want anything to happen to him.
Wang Xiang slept all day. When he woke up, he looked at the clock and became anxious. He complained that Luo Meisu didn't wake him up, "It's already eight o'clock, and I can't make it in time to go to work."
“The factories have collapsed, how can we still have classes?” Luo Meisu said quickly after hearing this.
Wang Xiang was stunned on the spot, and just then he remembered that Huagang had closed its doors. He was no longer the driver of the locomotive depot, but an old man nearly fifty years old.
This made him feel suddenly empty.
"His dad, don't be like this. Our family is not short of money, and our son can make money. Just rest." Luo Meisu comforted him when she saw his lost look.
Wang Xiang was stunned for a while, and finally nodded helplessly.
He actually doesn’t want to rest, but where is his place now?
…
Wang Xiang then spent a few days relaxing at home, watching TV, chatting with Luo Meisu, and going downstairs to watch others play chess...
However, he has been busy all his life, and this kind of life of eating when he is full, going to bed, waking up to eat, and doing nothing is really not something he has ever imagined.
He was going to start a new business and find something to do for himself.
“Son, does that **** of yours still need anyone? How about I help you guard the stall?” Wang Xiang asked Xiang Nandao.
Xiang Nan waved his hand, "Dad, there is no shortage of people in my Internet cafe now, and you can't do much in my Internet cafe. Can you repair computers, can you help people recharge, can you help people turn on their computers?"
Wang Xiang was quite depressed when he heard this.
Even if you don’t want your own son, your life is such a failure.
"Dad, if you can't stay idle, why not do some business by yourself." Xiang Nan thought for a while and said.
“What kind of business are you doing?” Wang Xiang asked doubtfully.
He has only driven a locomotive all his life and has never done any business. He really doesn’t know what kind of business is suitable.
“Let’s open a food factory.” Xiang Nan thought about it and said, “It’s a good business to do dried fruits and roasted seeds and nuts.”
Although Hualin is a steel city, its agriculture is also very developed. This can be seen from the endless cornfields that often appear in the play.
And there are many mountains around the birch forest, so the variety and yield of mountain products are good. For example, the output of hazelnuts, pine nuts, walnuts, etc. is still very high.
The sales of peanuts, melon seeds, dried fruits, etc. are quite good. In 2022, the dried fruit market will reach 200 billion yuan. Well-known dried fruit brands such as Three Squirrels, Baicaowei, and Bestore also have sales of over 10 billion.
Therefore, it is a very good choice to rely on Hualin City's rich products to set up a food company specializing in selling dried fruits and roasted seeds and nuts.
Xiang Nan believes that as long as the goods are genuine and marketed, he will be able to make a lot of money. After all, the next twenty years will be the two decades when China's economy will develop rapidly. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely make money.
