Generally speaking, Huaguang belongs to Liang Qinxuan, and Guan Baiyu is only one of the shareholders.
But he was already content. After all, without Liang Qinxuan and Liang's father, he would not be able to open a company at all.
Now that he can get dividends, he has the opportunity to watch a company grow from nothing and grow slowly... There are so many things to learn.
This week is a big week. After Guan Baiyu and Liang Qinxuan met the dealer, Liang Qinxuan planned to recruit people, while Guan Baiyu went to the small workshop that did the processing for them and let them produce new pencil cases.
Guan Baiyu had already thought about the style of the new pencil case. No, it cannot be said that he thought of it. In fact, he and Liang Qinxuan made some ideas, and then asked Shi Zhen to help improve it.
When Liang Qinxuan was in junior high school, he learned many calligraphy and painting, but all of them were half-baked, and his painting was not as good as his brother's.
And after his brother drew the style of the pencil case, he had already purchased the fabric and was now waiting to do it.
When Guan Baiyu arrived at the small workshop, there were not many people in it—the proprietress had not received much work recently.
Therefore, seeing Guan Baiyu, the proprietress was very enthusiastic.
Guan Baiyu talked about the new order, thought about it, and started making pencil cases by himself.
The proprietress looks very reliable, but if they don't look at it, the quality of the final product will definitely not be as good as the product they look at.
So after the winter vacation, Guan Baiyu watched here every day. After watching a lot, he even tried it out, and then he learned to step on the sewing machine.
It's not hard, the hard part is getting the job done fast and well.
Guan Baiyu was sitting in front of the sewing machine and was making a pencil case when he suddenly heard a startled voice: "Guan Baiyu?"
Guan Baiyu turned his head to look at each other, but didn't recognize him: "Who are you?"
"I'm from Class One and Five of Senior High." The one who called Guan Baiyu's name was a girl about the same age as Guan Baiyu, smiling shyly.
"Hello." Guan Baiyu greeted her.
This girl is here to share things. They get married, have children, and even when they are 30 years old, they have to give something to their neighbors or relatives, usually eggs, cakes and so on.
The girl put down her things and left. Guan Baiyu didn't care, and sewed two other styles of pencil cases with a sewing machine.
"This pencil case, I will process it for you here. One is two cents, this pencil case is four cents, and this..." The proprietress said the processing fee one by one.
After the worker is familiar with it, the speed of making a pencil case is still very fast, and she calculates the processing fee and sees how long it takes to make a pencil case.
Generally speaking, after she earns some money herself, she makes sure that the workers can earn two yuan an hour, so that the workers will have the motivation to do it.
Guan Baiyu talked to the proprietress about the price, and after confirming it, he placed the order.
There are four styles of pencil cases this time. After he made four, the proprietress followed suit.
Compared with the craftsmanship of the proprietress, what Guan Baiyu does... looks not exquisite enough.
Before leaving, Guan Baiyu kicked the pencil bags he made and took them away.
Today is the big week, he is going home, this bag... can be given to Shi Ting and the others.
After the last order was completed, Guan Baiyu and Liang Qinxuan each took a sample, which contained a schoolbag and two styles of pencil cases.
Liang Qinxuan took it to the school and used it himself, while Guan Baiyu gave Shi Ting both the schoolbag and the pencil case.
Shi Ting liked it so much, even Zhao Qiujuan, Zhao Meiyun and the others liked it. Guan Baiyu took it this time and planned to give it to them, as well as Shi Zhen.
Shi Zhen and the others no longer need a bag for pens, but they can be used to put money or other gadgets.
It was Liang Qinxuan's cousin who sent Guan Baiyu to the house. When Guan Baiyu got home, he saw that his door was open, and Shi Zhen was taking a shower in the small room with a plastic sheet at the door.
Guan Baiyu couldn't look away, and felt that he looked a little... sullen.
He sighed secretly, hiding all his emotions.
Shi Zhen came out after taking a shower and getting dressed.
For convenience, his hair is cut short, and he has been on the construction site for a while these days, and he has been tanned a little, and his whole body is full of masculinity.
"Brother!" Guan Baiyu laughed and told Shi Zhen about his company.
"You're doing a good job." Shi Zhen laughed, and suddenly thought of something: "You still have few products and a small company... When your company grows bigger in the future, you can make a signboard for the stationery shop at the school gate for free. If you are the signboard of 'Huaguang Stationery Store' at that time, you can also start the name of Huaguang." What Shi Zhen said was the publicity strategy of some later brands.
Guan Baiyu took it down seriously.
Shi Zhen said at this time, "By the way, do you have a source for all kinds of stationery?"
Guan Baiyu sold stationery in the school before, and there really is!
"Brother?" Guan Baiyu looked at Shi Zhen curiously.
Shi Zhen said: "I want my parents to open a small shop to sell stationery and snacks, so it's easier."
Shi Dalin set up a stall to sell fried skewers.
Shi Dalin planned to do this for the rest of his life, but Shi Zhen felt that it would be better to rent a storefront and open a store for him.
Shi Dalin definitely can't do a clothing store or something. If he opened a store to sell fried skewers, he wouldn't be able to make a lot of money. In contrast, opening a small shop selling stationery and snacks at the entrance of the elementary school was the best choice.
In this way, Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun will not be exposed to the wind and rain, and their income should not be bad.
"Brother, I know the purchase channels, but the types of stationery that can be purchased may not be as complete as stationery stores."
"It's okay if it's not complete." Shi Zhen smiled, "At that time, it mainly sells all kinds of snacks and stationery. It's enough to have some commonly used ones."
The primary and junior high schools in the town are not far away, and there are many people living around... Even if the students are on winter and summer vacations, the store will not be out of business.
Shi Zhen planned to tell Shi Dalin about this the next morning, but he was having dinner with Guan Baiyu when Zhao Qiujuan suddenly pushed the door and came in: "Azhen, it's not good, something happened..."
Zhao Qiujuan's face was full of panic, and Shi Zhen immediately asked, "What happened?"
Zhao Qiujuan "sobs": "Dongjuan ran back and said she was going to divorce, and then the family followed and refused to leave."
Shi Zhen: "…"
"What happened to her?" Guan Baiyu was also a little speechless.
After Zhao Dongjuan got married, she didn't go back to her parents' home very often.
Wang Zugen's family is actually not that wealthy, but in the end the whole family is a worker with formal jobs, and the family conditions are still good.
Black and white TVs, gas stoves, electric fans, washing machines, rice cookers... These things are not lacking in the Wang family.
Moreover, although the Wang family was very dissatisfied with Zhao Dongjuan's change of face as soon as she got married and did nothing, but they spent a lot of money in order to marry Zhao Dongjuan, lest the chickens be beaten, so they are actually very good to Zhao Dongjuan.
Zhao Dongjuan eats and drinks spicy food over there, and she also has dowry money to spend... She occasionally returns to the Shi family to show off to the Shi family, otherwise the Shi family will not be able to see her.
By the way, she came back twice, and she wanted to tell Zhao Qiujuan to an old bachelor in the town. Fortunately, Zhao Qiujuan, no matter how stupid, knew that it couldn't be like this, so she gritted her teeth and didn't let go.
As for her clamoring for a divorce this time... the reason is simple.
Wang Zugen was laid off.
The factory where Wang Zugen works was not very profitable last year. After the end of the year, it will not be completed this year. Wang Zugen has not gone to work after the New Year this year.
Zhao Dongjuan didn't know at first, but when she found out, she asked Wang Zugen to find a job.
But the wave of layoffs in the 1990s, how many people were laid off
Here, it’s okay for women to be laid off. They can always find jobs in small workshops or private enterprises. Although there are no social insurance and housing fund in those places, and they often have to work three shifts, they still have income.
Men can't find jobs.
Especially Wang Zugen, who has no ability, can't bear the hardship, can't bear the fatigue, and doesn't want to lose face.
In short... Wang Zugen is unemployed.
He stayed at home every day, and the more Zhao Dongjuan looked at him, the less pleasing to the eye, so she clamored for a divorce and went back to her parents' home.
The Wang family would definitely disagree with this matter, so wouldn't that just follow the Shi family
After Shi Zhen heard Zhao Qiujuan tell the whole story, he figured out one thing.
He was actually quite puzzled and did not understand why the Wang family would be willing to marry Zhao Dongjuan.
You know, in this era, because of the low population flow, foreigners are very conspicuous and easily looked down upon.
Especially the Wang family... let alone outsiders, they even look down on rural people.
It's a bit strange that such a family is suddenly willing to spend so much money to marry Zhao Dongjuan.
Now it seems... The Wang family probably knew that Wang Zugen was going to be laid off, so they rushed to marry him a daughter-in-law before he was laid off.
They took a fancy to Zhao Dongjuan, and they probably thought that Zhao Dongjuan came from a small place, so it was easy to fool them, and they could be cattle and horses for them when they married.
As a result, Zhao Dongjuan is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
In this way... Zhao Dongjuan and Wang Zugen are quite a match.
Shi Zhendao: "Zhao Dongjuan didn't get a certificate with Wang Zugen, and there is no divorce. She sent the dowry and three golds back to her, and she could cut off the relationship with them."
He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.
Zhao Qiujuan looked embarrassed: "Dongjuan, she refuses to return the dowry."
Shi Zhen said: "Then there is nothing I can do."
In this matter, there is something wrong with the Wang family. Zhao Dongjuan withdrew the dowry, and was unwilling to be with Wang Zugen, and no one else could say anything.
But she wants to get the dowry again, and she doesn't want to be with people, which makes it impossible to justify it.
In fact, in addition to the bride price, the Wang family also hosted a banquet and bought a lot of things for Zhao Dongjuan... Their family spent a lot of money.
"Azhen, what can I do now..." Zhao Qiujuan was very anxious.
"Nothing to do, just let her go." Shi Dalin's voice sounded, and the door was pushed open again.
Shi Dalin was standing outside the door with his fried skewer stall and Shi Ting carrying a schoolbag. When he saw Shi Zhen, he said, "Ah Zhen, do me a favor and help me bring the stall into the house."
At the bottom of this fried skewer stall, there are wheels made by Shi Zhen, which is easy to push on the flat ground, but Guan Baiyu's house has a threshold, so it can't be pushed in.
Shi Zhen went over and moved in the kushikatsu stall with ease.
Shi Dalin said: "I've lost all face today, she is trying to take advantage of others, she took the betrothal money, and she also took the total of more than 1,000 gifts, and she also paid three gold for change. She has more than 8,000 cash in her possessions, and all her belongings add up to tens of thousands. She wants to take it all down... There's no reason for that."
Shi Dalin added some more.
On the Wang family's side, there are also excessive demands, probably because they want Zhao Dongjuan to pay back the bride price, three gold, etc., and then compensate them for the banquet... Only in this way, they agree to "divorce".
What about Zhao Dongjuan? She didn't want to pay back a penny. She felt that everyone married her and gave her all the money, so why should she be asked to pay it back? This is two different things from her getting a divorce now.
There was a lot of quarrel at home, and Shi Dalin simply took his daughter out to find his son.
His daughter could go and huddle with Shi Xingchao's sister all night, and he would huddle at Shi Zhen's place.
As for Zhao Dongjuan... It's impossible for him to beat her like Shi Zhen before, he can't control it.
"Dad, my mom..."
"She's at home, go see her, Azhen, don't go there, it's too noisy there." Shi Dalin said to Zhao Qiujuan.
Shi Zhen really didn't plan to go.
He thinks that it is best for Zhao Dongjuan to refund the money and break up the marriage, but if he really wants to say so, Zhao Dongjuan may think that he is trying to harm her... He will not go.
Shi Ting was carrying two schoolbags, her hair was messed up, she looked a little pitiful and a little silly, and when she saw Guan Baiyu, she showed an expression of help: "Brother Bai Yu, I have a few math problems that I won't change..."
Shi Zhen was particularly pleased that his sister knew that she had to study.
Well, his sister probably didn't know that she was going to study, but they asked her to study, she would study, and she didn't think about anything else.
Guan Baiyu laughed: "I'll tell you... By the way, I still have something for you."
"What is it?" Shi Ting was full of curiosity.
Guan Baiyu immediately took out the four pencil cases he brought back, two of which were darker in color and were for boys, so he gave it to Shi Zhen and Shi Fu, and asked them to carry money and stuff.
The remaining two were for girls, and he gave it to Shi Ting: "You and your sister each one."
Shi Ting went to Zhao Qiujuan with the pencil case: "Sister, which of these two pencil cases do you want?" She wanted both...
"I don't need it." Zhao Qiujuan said.
"Sister, take one, it's good to put some small things." Shi Zhen said.
Zhao Qiujuan really liked this beautiful pencil case. She picked one and looked at Shi Zhen for help: "Azhen, what should I do?"
Shi Zhen said: "Sister, you go back and accompany Aunt Zhao, you two go to sleep in your parents' house, lock the door, don't be afraid."
Although the Wang family is of the highest quality, they only dare to make trouble, and they do not dare to hurt others.
Especially... It's so noisy over there now, it's estimated that all the neighbors are here to watch.
If Zhao Qiujuan listened to him, she would hide with Zhao Meiyun... When it was later, the Wang family would leave.
As for how to solve this matter, it depends on whether Zhao Meiyun can be ruthless and ignore Zhao Dongjuan.
Zhao Qiujuan still left.
Shi Dalin was a man who didn't like to talk, so he sat silently and watched Guan Baiyu give Shi Ting a speech.
Seeing him like this, Shi Zhen told him about Guan Baiyu and his classmates' company, which earned 10,000 yuan not long after it opened.
Shi Dalin was shocked: "This... so much?"
"Not much... Dad, do you want to open a small shop?"
"What store?" Shi Dalin was puzzled.
Shi Zhen told him.
Shi Zhen was very patient and detailed when talking to Shi Dalin, even though Shi Dalin was still used to speaking their local dialect, so Shi Zhen also spoke to Shi Dalin in dialect.
Guan Baiyu lectured Shi Ting on the topic, and from time to time, he went to see Shi Zhen.
Shi Ting said, "Brother Bai Yu, why do you keep looking at my brother!"
Your brother is beautiful! No, it's not just your brother, it's my brother! Guan Baiyu said calmly, "I've already read your questions, otherwise what would you read?"
