At the beginning of the new year in 2001, Zuo Jianshe was busy with two things.

The first thing is to find a way to get his baby daughter Zuo to go to BJ No. 4 Middle School to study junior high school. There is no clue about this matter at the moment.

But Zuo Jianshe is a little stubborn, just like the unexplainable complex between the dragon and phoenix candles when they got married, he also had a special complex for BJ. So, even though it was more difficult, he still studied BJ's good middle school first.

After inquiring, he found out that BJ No. 4 Middle School is the best, and there is also a junior high school. So he thought about getting his daughter to BJ No. 4 Middle School to celebrate the first year of junior high school.

It is definitely impossible for a child who is only in his early 10 years old to study alone in another place. He is accompanied by his parents or one party, but the other is different. She is extremely independent and self-disciplined by her parents' money education method.

Zuo Jianshe and Zuo Zai said they wanted to send her to BJ or Shi to junior high school. Zuo Zai disagreed at first, but her mother said that if she was willing to study in a big city, she would give her 10,000 yuan per semester. In 2001, 10,000 yuan was definitely a huge sum for an eleven-year-old child, and it was 10,000 yuan per semester. Zuo Zai finished listening, thought for two seconds and agreed.

Although Zuo Zai's money earned was basically spent on Zuo Yi, her heart that loved to make money since childhood had never changed until she was 11 years old.

Although Zuo Jianshe had some money at that time, he made a net profit of more than two million in 2000. By 2001, his deposit was almost tens of millions.

This money is enough for him to buy a very good house for her baby daughter at BJ at that time. I bought the house, but BJ's household registration is not so easy to solve. Moreover, even if you have a BJ household registration, it is not easy to enter No. 4 Middle School.

The Zuo family is rich, but after all, he started by selling candles and did not know any high-ranking officials or people who can solve these problems.

The second thing is to try every means to increase the annual candle production of Yinuan Candle Company. After 2000 sales, Yinuan Candle Company's "Ynuan Candle" has become well-known in 2001. Zuo Jianshe is actually doing business, so it did not raise the annual candle price.

If you want to say, the candles are now on fire this year, and they don’t seem to have high technical content. Someone has already copied them in 2000. They also invited people to write the Great Compassion Mantra, which is not the monks they invited, but the ones who wrote pretty well. Each one sold is four or five hundred yuan cheaper than the annual candle of Yihuo Candle Company.

Until the end of 2000, Zuo Jianshe did not receive explosive annual candle orders.

However, just after New Year's Day in 2001, orders floated like snowflakes. At the beginning, Zuo Jianshe thought that the New Year was about to be celebrated at the end of the month, so the orders increased, but more and more orders made Zuo Jianshe feel that things might not be that simple.

This time, Zuo Jianshe’s intuition is correct.

Because those temples that bought imitation New Year candles, they found that the candles they bought were extinguished one after another around New Year's Day, and they could not last the New Year at all. It was even more indifferent to the theory that they were as accurate as the legendary New Year candles.

During the Chinese New Year, people who go to the Buddhist temple to invite New Year candles will at least be 10,000 yuan per can. What people care about is not money, but for the good fortune of the coming year and the peace in their hearts. Those Buddhist temples do not deliberately try to cheat believers, but really don’t know that there is another patent in it.

Now most of them know, who would buy other candles? So Zuo Jianshe was almost knocked out by these orders flying in.

The two renovated and expanded factories of Yinuan Candle Company have started construction 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and all workers work in three shifts and four shifts. Zuo Jianshe himself also works in person, but he still can't be busy.

Zuo Jianshe was helpless and wanted to say that he would not like to buy it if he raised the price. He told those buyers that you should buy it again next year, otherwise I would have a price increase of one thousand. As a result, the buyers became even more crazy and unanimously stated that as long as you can ship it to me before New Year's Eve, it would be fine to increase it by two thousand.

So, just after New Year's Day in 2001, Zuo Jianshe was busy with the second thing he was really worried. If this order continues like this, even if Zuo Jianshe can do it, his transportation village will not be able to digest it and transport it. Moreover, this is the New Year's Day, not everyone is willing to go to this transportation village.

On January 10, 2001, Zuo Jianshe made a decision, which was to no longer accept the orders before New Year's Eve.

If the person who comes to place an order is really unwilling to go back like this, then you can book the New Year candle for 2002. Zuo Jianshe will give you a pair of New Year candles. In addition, all orders that have been accepted will be sold at the original price without increasing the price.

Zuo Jianshe is a real businessman after all, and he has no intention of starting a price.

Zuo Jianshe’s decision to not raise prices surprised those who had already placed an order, thought that the price needed to increase in order to get the goods, and those who had not placed an order, thought that they could get the goods by adding more money.

In fact, Zuo Jianshe didn't think that he could not raise the price when selling things. He just felt that Nian Zhu was doing a business of faith. He didn't want to sell it too expensively, and he thought that it was a blasphemy of faith.

Although Zuo Jianshe’s decision cannot be said to be a happy ending, at least no one returned empty-handed.

It is said that the transportation village has no capacity anymore. How did these people who placed the order in 2002 bring the pair of New Year candles back?

The answer is very simple, it is to take the train.

In this way, Zuo Zai and her father were so stupid. At that time in 1998, they found two trucks to transport them out.

Here we will talk about the history of the small city of Wenzhou.

The traffic in Wenzhou was extremely blocked. 90 years ago, there was no railway, no airport, and no airport (yes, it was Zuo's 1990, not 1890).

Before the reform and opening up, Wenzhou was a place where poverty was jingling. Wenzhou people could do business, but they were afraid of poverty.

In the 1980s, those in Wenzhou who went out to make some money to make money by rushing to the spring breeze of reform and opening up were very eager to improve transportation in their hometowns.

Wenzhou is surrounded by mountains and railways cannot be built for a while, so Wenzhou people want an airport.

However, in that era, the state had to build airports for the state, which had to be provincial capitals and other small cities like Wenzhou, and it was impossible for the state to build money for small cities like Wenzhou.

What should I do if the country doesn’t pay? Then I will pay for it. In the 1980s, people from Wenzhou paid for it to build an airport for themselves. In July 1990, Wenzhou Airport was officially launched.

In July 1997, the train was opened in Wenzhou.

Therefore, there are historical reasons why Wenzhou can create a famous transportation village.

Therefore, it was not difficult to understand when using trucks to transport candles. Not to mention the train that just opened, there was no capacity, and there was no spare truck.

This situation changed in a few years.

Although there are still many people in Zhutu Village who are traveling for transportation, they are no longer as grand as before 1997. Many of the first people who do transportation have made enough money, then switched their careers and moved to the city to live, and Zuo Jianshe's brother-in-law are among them.

By 2001, most of Zuo Jianshe's goods had been transferred to railway transportation. The reason why he still needed many trucks was because buyers had to concentrate on getting New Year candles before the New Year.

There was no New Year's Eve in 2001, and it was the New Year's Eve on the 29th. So I placed an order on New Year's Day and delivered it before January 23. It was impossible to handle the train alone.

Because "New Year Candles" are a shortage of goods, all buyers paid the whole payment early, fearing that they would not be able to get the goods, and even those who booked the New Year Candles in 2002 were busy paying deposits.

People who have already bought the 2001 annual candle are not willing to fall behind because they have paid the 2002 money and can now bring a pair of annual candles back. That is the "sample" that can be shown to everyone.

The buyer was so active in paying money that Zuo Jianshe was really scared. It turned out that when people asked him to buy candles, they would get the goods first, and they would only pay the bill when they had to find him after they sold it.

In 2000, Zuojian's income alone sold annual candles was 2 million. At that time, his annual candles were not well-known. So what was going on in 2001?

The order volume this year is no longer the same as in 2000, but most of the orders are concentrated after New Year's Day, and Zuo Jianshe had never thought of it before.

No matter how many orders are, the output is limited. Before January 2001, he earned about the same money as in the previous year. He started to drive at full speed in January, and all other candles were stopped, and the volume of the previous year was produced.

Logically speaking, the income from selling annual candles in 2001 should be several times that of 2002. However, Zuo Construction did not increase the price and did not produce. The profit of selling annual candles this year was about 4 million.

However, Zuo Jianshe was already very satisfied. Moreover, the situation in 2002 was completely different from this year. He received so many orders one year in advance. Even if he didn't have enough power, it would be no problem to earn 10 million yuan in 2002.

Zuo Jianshe, who was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, was thinking about how all this came about when it was time to eat.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to, but then he thinks about it and then something happens.

Zuo Jianshe felt that he had all this, and that was all inspired by the great monk Putuo Mountain. Thinking of this, he wanted to thank the great monk from the bottom of his heart.

How to thank you?

Of course, it is to add incense and oil to Putuo Temple.

But how much is appropriate to add? Zuo Jianshe thinks it should be added with the value of the New Year candle that the monk blessed. What is the value of the New Year candle?

Logically speaking, such things are priceless, but Zuo Jianshe is not stubborn, so he has to come up with something.

Finally, he made a decision that made his wife Xiang Min speechless. He wanted to sell it to them with no choice but to light the New Year candles and use all the money he got to add in sesame oil.

This is to accurately add the value of the temple to the New Year candle.

In fact, Zuo Jianshe also thought that something was wrong in his heart. He also called the monk to ask whether his approach was appropriate. Unexpectedly, the monk did not object and said that it was a good thing that he had the intention to be kind.

In this way, the pair of lay disciples who saved the monk in 1998 were sold.

If you sell the New Year candle, it does sound like something is wrong, but if it is understood as a charity auction, it will be different.

This pair of New Year candles was photographed by Cheng Fengchun, who was in the United States.

Guess what the transaction price is? One million! Or US dollars!

Zuo Jianshe has never seen so much money at once. Logically speaking, most people are moved when they see it. But Zuo Jianshe didn't even think about it, and donated it to Putuo Temple without thinking.

On New Year's Eve, Zuo Jianshe took his wife and children and transported the New Year candles consecrated by the monks who had transported them to Wenzhou back. He really had no choice but to eat or sleep to get the order.

When Zuo Zai's family transported the New Year candles, Cheng Fengchun, a lay disciple of the monk, was also there. This was the first time he met Zuo Jianshe. Cheng Fengchun was also worried that Zuo Jianshe would not fulfill his promise after taking the money. He heard that Zuo Jianshe did not leave all the money to Putuo Temple for a day, and Cheng Fengchun also looked up to this Wenzhou small businessman.

But when Cheng Fengchun saw Zuo Jianshe who came to send New Year's candles to him on New Year's Eve, he really didn't know what to say.

When Cheng Fengchun came to the auction, he was still in the United States, so he didn't tell Zuo Jianshe when he wanted it or where to lit it. Zuo Jianshe took it for granted that Cheng Fengchun would still light New Year candles at Putuo Temple on New Year's Eve, just like before.

But Cheng Fengchun didn't mean that. It was almost the New Year when he took pictures of the New Year candles. The reason why he didn't mention the time and place was because he wanted to transport the New Year candles to Zhuangyan Temple in New York and lit them again in 2002.

Cheng Fengchun was not in a hurry at all. He just waited for when he needed to charter a flight to transport precious spices from China to the United States, and then transported the pair of New Year candles.

This is a mess, Zuo Zai's family has not had a good time in their New Year.

The procurement process of rare and precious spices, such as ambergris, is extremely complicated. Cheng Fengchun doesn’t know when he can buy all the things he wants, so he doesn’t know when he will transport this pair of New Year candles.

In this way, Zuo Jianshe made useless work during the New Year. Cheng Fengchun had to trouble Zuo Jianshe to transport it back and keep it temporarily.

After a while, Cheng Fengchun and Zuo Jianshe had time to chat for a while. When Cheng Fengchun heard that Zuo Yi did not go to college, he said that he could be responsible for guarantees and let Zuo Yi go to the United States to go to college.

Finally, Cheng Fengchun and Zuo Jianshe left each other with contact information.

Zuo Zai's family stayed at Putuo Temple because Cheng Fengchun said he could guarantee that Zuo Yi would go to the United States to study in college, Zuo Jianshe felt that his son's delayed studies would have a turnaround.

Zuo Jianshe was very moved and discussed with Zuo Yi.

Zuo Yi stopped doing it after listening to the beginning. Not to mention that his grades were not good, he could barely pass the English. Even if he was good at high school English, he has been graduating for three years now, and he knows him, but he doesn’t know words.

In addition, Zuo Yiyu does not have Zuo Zai's language talent, and the pronunciation of English is even more painful in his heart. Occasionally, the teacher asked him to answer questions in class, but when he spoke, the whole class burst into laughter. He did not get into college, and English was definitely a "meanor".

Zuo Yi hated English and even more math. If you want to say what he hates the most, then just two words - study. So as soon as he graduated from high school, he did not get into a decent university, and he refused to study in a private university. Then, he went to Yi Nuan Candle Company to help.

Zuo Yi has been away from the cage of studying for three years, and Zuo Jianshe wants him to study in the place where "birds are singing", but Zuo Yi 10,000 people are unwilling to do so. Moreover, at this moment, even if Zuo Yi is a bird-singing expert, he cannot go because Zuo Yi was in love with Zuo Zai's future sister-in-law Zeng Mengyao.

It hasn't been a long time since we were in love, so I went to the United States. Will there be a future? Zuo Zai's future sister-in-law is Zuo Yi's junior high school deskmate, Zuo Yi's junior high school fell in love with him. He has worked hard for almost ten years. Finally, his sister-in-law came back from college. Zuo Yi also went from a short and fat boy in junior high school to a handsome guy in Yushu now, and barely got the guy.
