Xia Xiang rode his bicycle to the scenic spot early in the morning. Chen Ning's affairs have basically been settled now. There is still some time before the wedding date is set, and he should go work on his career.
"Brother Xia, you are here."
In the scenic area, Lu Gang was distributing goods to the villagers. When he saw Xia Xiang appearing, he immediately came up to say hello honestly.
"I've been busy with family matters these days. There won't be any problems here at the scenic spot."
After this period of training, Lu Gang has become much more stable. At least in front of Xia Xiang, he has never complained.
"No, business is good."
Lu Gang grinned.
As the news spread that the first batch of villagers made money, the number of villagers who want to do business in the scenic area has nearly doubled compared to some time ago.
In the mid-1980s, most villagers were still digging food on the land, but they could not make much money at the end of the year.
But the first batch of villagers selling handicrafts in the scenic area can earn dozens of yuan a day, and some can even earn hundreds of yuan, as long as they are willing to work hard.
With the free publicity provided by these villagers, the nearby villagers are now vying with each other to squeeze into the scenic spot.
Xia Xiang firmly controls the supply of goods upstream through the processing factory. The more villagers come in, the more handicrafts they wholesale.
After looking at the accounts during this period, Xia Xiang was shocked. Sales during this period were soaring.
With a revenue of nearly 500 yuan a day, no wonder Lu Gang could hardly close his mouth when he saw him.
"Brother Xia, you are right, there is strength in numbers."
Lu Gang scratched his head. Only now did he realize how stupid his previous idea was. He had always thought that letting the villagers enter would take away his business.
But now, he hopes that the more villagers who come to the scenic spot, the better. The more the villagers sell, the more they can earn.
"Haha, I wish you could understand this."
Xia Xiang smiled. Lu Gang had begun to grow up now and could at least think about problems through his head.
Seeing the satisfied smile on Lu Gang's face, Xia Xiang couldn't help but shook his head.
Perhaps in Lu Gang's eyes, earning a few hundred yuan a day is already a huge miracle.
But for the reborn Xia Xiang, he will never be satisfied with this achievement.
In Xia Xiang's eyes, selling handicrafts in the scenic spot is just his first step. There is still a lot of room to explore the potential of the scenic spot market.
"As the weather gets hotter and hotter, the passenger flow in the scenic area will definitely increase in the near future, and we cannot waste such a large market."
In 1986, reform and opening up entered its seventh year, and the domestic economy also entered the fast lane.
Domestic people are no longer so strapped for money. At this time, many people have gradually become accustomed to consuming everywhere. The most noteworthy thing during this period is the domestic beverage market.
In 1983, there were already "eight major soda factories" in China.
These eight major soda fountains came into being during this period of time.
From 1983 to 1986, the domestic beverage market was considered to be the first stage of the Huashan Debate.
During this period, the largest market for the beverage industry was not hotels, but major domestic tourist attractions.
Because most people who have money and time to travel at this time are relatively well-off, and only these people are willing to spend money to buy drinks.
Now that Xia Xiang has established a firm foothold in the scenic area, of course he will not just sell handicrafts in the scenic area.
"Brother Xia, what are you muttering about?"
His thoughts were interrupted by Lu Gang. Xia Xiang smiled at him, which made Lu Gang couldn't help but scratch his head. He thought for a long time but still couldn't understand the meaning of Xia Xiang's smile.
"It's nothing, go and do your business."
Xia Xiang sent Lu Gang away and walked alone to the shade of a big tree in the yard.
Scenic spots are definitely a battleground in the beverage industry. Since he has mastered the scenic spot market, it also means that he has the initiative when negotiating with the beverage giants.
Xia Xiang had already made plans for the scenic spot market in his mind before coming to the scenic spot.
Handicrafts are just a key for him to open the scenic spot market, and the beverage market is Xia Xiang's first springboard, and he has already prepared the preparations.
Deep in the Sichuan-Chongqing region of Wangjiang County, among the eight major domestic soda factories, the only one located in the Sichuan-Chongqing region is Tianfu Cola.
This is also the only soda manufacturer that Xia Xiang can contact currently. With his current strength, if he wants to contact the soda manufacturer directly, he probably won't even be able to knock on the door.
Therefore, he can only save the country through curveballs and seek to become the agent of Tianfu Cola in Sichuan and Chongqing.
However, even if he is an agent, Xia Xiang cannot reach out and get it, but fortunately, Xia Xiang still has a trump card in his hand.
Just do whatever comes to mind. Xia Xiang has always been a resolute person. Since he believes that the current scenic spot market has matured, he doesn't want to waste any more time.
"Gangzi, I have something to do and have to go back to the county first. I'll leave the scenic spot to you."
The National Day is coming soon, and the passenger flow in the scenic spot will reach its peak period of the year. Xia wants to take advantage of this period to completely open up the beverage market in the scenic spot.
"Okay, I'm here at the scenic spot, so don't worry!"
…
Chongqing City.
General Manager Office of Tianfu Coke.
Jiang Xin sat in the office rubbing her brow. Every time after a meeting, she would sit alone in the office for a while. Only in this way could she relax for a moment.
Since taking over the position of general manager of Tianfu Coke last year, she considers herself to be diligent and conscientious, but the company's development has still not improved this year, and she has to withstand the pressure from within the company.
At this moment, the phone in the office suddenly rang.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang!"
Jiang Xin frowned when she heard the unfamiliar voice on the phone. She didn't seem to have such a voice in her memory.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Xia Xiang. Maybe Mr. Jiang hasn't heard my name yet, but that doesn't matter, because I happened to know that Mr. Jiang seems to have encountered some troubles, and I happen to be able to solve this trouble."
Hearing the unfamiliar voice on the phone, Jiang Xin almost hung up the phone, but after thinking about it, she somehow managed not to hang up, and coldly snorted: "Oh, really?"
"certainly!"
Xia Xiang also breathed a sigh of relief on the phone. As long as the other party didn't hang up the phone immediately, he believed that his sharp tongue would be able to convince the other party.
