Chapter 38213823【Part-time job】
From then on, Li Er would come to Xiang Nan's house for dinner every now and then, and Xiang Nan was naturally happy for her to come and play.
The relationship between the two of them is also heating up rapidly. It can be said that there is a lot of love between you and me.
Comparatively, both black people and Libara live a bit miserable life.
The black people no longer want to stay in Hujiang. He has changed jobs seven or eight times in the past six months, with an average of less than half a month, and the longest one lasted only a month.
The reason why he changed jobs frequently was because he really couldn't find any good job. Because he only has a technical secondary school degree, the jobs he can find are basically low-level jobs.
Either a waiter, a salesman, or a security guard. These jobs have low wages, poor remuneration, and no prospects. He really doesn't want to do them.
Moreover, he was used to being the eldest brother before, and now he was asked to serve others, and he really couldn't bear it. Besides, there has been no progress between him and Li Bala.
Even though the two of them live in the same house, Li Bala sleeps on the bed and he sleeps on the ground, but he can tolerate it. He thought that with sincerity, gold and stone would open.
But half a year later, Li Bala still dismissed him. Black people are also human beings, not wood carvings and clay sculptures. Seeing that he stayed in Hujiang and suffered, but did not get any benefits, he gradually became a little discouraged.
…
January 6, 2006, Fudan University started its winter vacation.
Two days later, Tongji University, where Li Er was studying, also had winter vacation.
“Are you going home?” Xiang Nan asked Li Er.
“Otherwise?” Li Er asked doubtfully.
“Just stay a few more days, and you’ll be free to go home.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"But the school is about to close. Where can I go if I don't go home?" Li Er said worriedly. She wanted to stay in Hujiang for a few more days. Anyway, there was nothing to do when she went home.
After all, college is not high school, and there is no winter vacation homework to do. So when she went home, she would probably stay home and watch TV, which would be boring.
"Just stay here." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"I don't want it." Li Er immediately refused, "I want to stay, and you must have bad intentions."
"It's a given that I have bad thoughts, because of my appetite and sex. If I don't have bad thoughts, then there's something wrong with me." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "But after all, I'm a human being, not an animal. I live with two bedrooms and two living rooms. House, you can live in the second bedroom.
Furthermore, these days, I will definitely go home to stay at night, that is, I will come here during the day. You don't have to worry about anything. "
“Really?” Li Er asked worriedly.
"Why are you lying to me?" Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "I can usually live outside the school, and my parents don't know about it anyway. But now that the school is on winter vacation, I naturally have to go home, otherwise my parents will know that I live outside the school. You have to control me.”
"Okay." Li Er thought for a while and said, "Then what should I do in Hujiang? Do I work part-time?"
"Aren't you studying literature? Have you ever thought about writing something during the winter vacation?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Isn't online literature very popular now? I see there are several literary websites, and some people Then I made money by writing novels. You might as well consider it."
Le Er nodded.
Li Er then stayed at Xiang Nan's house, and Xiang Nan kept his promise and went home after the holiday. After returning home, he noticed that his mother, Zhuang Meijuan, and father, Xu Ruiyang, were not in a very high mood. They could not say that they were looking sad all day long, but they were not happy either.
"Mom, what happened at home?" Xiang Nan saw this and asked with concern, "Is the business at the factory not good recently?"
"Xiao Yi, just take care of your studies. Don't worry about family matters." Zhuang Meijuan waved her hand and said, "You are still young, so don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
"Mom, I'm already an adult. After the Chinese New Year, I'll be twenty years old. You can't treat me like a child anymore." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "And sooner or later, the family business will have to be passed on to me. Of course I have to care about its operating conditions."
"You kid, don't ask around about things you shouldn't ask about." Zhuang Meijuan scolded, "Your father and I take care of things in the factory, so don't worry about it."
“Mom, just tell me.” Xiang Nan advised, “I am a finance major, and my major is investment and business. Tell me, and I will help you with the details, and I can also train myself by the way.
Several of my classmates did not go home during the winter vacation and stayed in Shanghai to work part-time. And Koi Ji is our family's own business, shouldn't I be able to work part-time even if I want to? "
Seeing her son say this, Zhuang Meijuan thought about it and nodded.
Actually, she didn’t want to tell her son about the factory.
First of all, in her opinion, her son is still young and she doesn’t want him to worry about it; secondly, they have been busy with the factory for half their lives and they still don’t have any good ideas, so she doesn’t believe that her son will have any good ideas.
However, her son was pressing her so hard and she really wanted to share the worries of her parents, so she just spoke out.
…
It turns out that the Spring Festival is the peak season for the production and sales of traditional pastries, so Koi Ji has prepared a large amount of goods in advance, preparing to sell well during the Spring Festival.
After all, the sales volume of Koiji has not been good for more than a year, and it has been losing money for several months in a row. So they wanted to take advantage of the Spring Festival to make back the money they lost.
Unexpectedly, after entering the Spring Festival period, the sales of Koi Ji still did not increase. Seeing poor sales, many dealers canceled orders directly, causing Koi Ji to lose more than 2 million yuan in goods.
Not only did they not make money, but there were signs of huge losses, so Zhuang Meijuan and Xu Ruiyang were naturally anxious.
Xiang Nan nodded, not surprised at all by the current situation of Koi Ji.
Firstly, with the improvement of people's living standards, traditional pastries are becoming less and less popular; secondly, Koi Ji also lacks marketing and innovation, and is still stuck in the sales status of word of mouth and the support of old customers. It's strange that it's good.
After all, the marketing industry knows that every five years, the consumption habits of each generation will change significantly.
For example, at the beginning of the century, domestic products were not favored by consumers at all and were labeled as "copycat", "inferior quality" and "cheap".
Nowadays, domestically produced home appliances, mobile phones, cars, clothing, shoes and hats, and cosmetics are more popular among consumers.
Koi Ji has remained unchanged for decades. If it hadn’t been for a group of old customers, it would have been eliminated from the market long ago. In Xiang Nan's view, if we don't transform, we may be close to bankruptcy.
…
“Mom, the most direct way to save the factory now is to get a large order.” Xiang Nan said.
The most important thing now is to digest the millions of inventory in the warehouse. As for factory transformation, product improvement, and increased marketing, it will be a matter of later days.
"Of course I understand this, but where can I find large orders?" Zhuang Meijuan frowned and said, "Unless there are large enterprises and government agencies ordering New Year's goods, I'm afraid they will be able to digest so much inventory."
“Large enterprises or government agencies?” Xiang Nan was thoughtful after hearing this.
