A year later, Wang Gang's Bingfeng Soda Water Factory was completed and officially put into operation. Wang Gang invited many city leaders to attend the opening ceremony.
As the largest investment project in Bianhe, the city attaches great importance to it. All approval documents will be given the green light as long as there are no problems with the procedures, which saves Wang Gang a lot of time.
The first product produced by the soda factory was orange-flavored soda. This was the flagship product that Wang Gang and his subordinates decided on after several days of discussion.
It’s not that Wang Gang has never thought of imitating Coke and Sprite. After all, the recipe of that thing is no longer a secret, and it is also more popular.
But considering that the two American companies are too powerful, it would be extremely unwise for a new brand to go head-to-head with two giant companies.
I chose orange-flavored soda because it tastes sour and sweet, which is more appetizing and relieves fatigue.
Wang Gang plans to combine the first wave of soda promotion with Gujia Braised Meat, offering soda for free when buying braised pork.
Gujia braised food has now been opened in various cities in the Northeast and has a certain degree of popularity. Wang Gang can definitely use the reputation of the braised food store to promote his own soda products.
To this end, Wang Gang also deliberately bought all the orange sodas on the market and asked the R&D department to compare them one by one to improve the taste of his own products.
Wang Gang has only one requirement for the R&D department, that is, the soda should be as acidic and appetizing as possible, so as to be more in line with the taste habits of Chinese people.
Facts also proved that Wang Gang's choice was correct. Once the Bingfeng brand orange soda was launched, it immediately received a lot of praise. With the help of Gujia braised food store to promote it, the strategy was very successful.
Next, Wang Gang formed a sales team to specialize in the Northeast market. He did not hesitate to invest heavily in ordering a large number of freezers and selling Bingfeng brand soda to the canteens of major supermarkets. As long as the order exceeded a certain amount, the freezers would be given away for free.
Sure enough, the strategy of giving away freezers was successful again. Many merchants were willing to order large quantities of Bifeng brand soda, and sales immediately increased significantly.
In order to prevent other brands of soda from occupying the freezer space, Wang Gang also asked the salesperson to go to the store regularly to tidy up the freezer.
After soda sales continued to rise, Wang Gang quickly launched a new lemon-flavored soda to supplement the product line in the shortest possible time.
Wang Gang is also investing a lot of advertising money on provincial-level TV stations to make the Bingfeng brand a household name.
After being busy for a period of time, Wang Gang felt that the soda plant was on track, so he started the next step of planning to build a drinking water base and make full use of the water resources in the forest farm.
Just as Wang Gang and his father-in-law, Director Lin, were discussing the construction site of the water base, they suddenly received a call from Gu Changshan, saying that Chen Xingjie and Liang Fengxia were divorcing and hoped that he could go home and give Chen Xingjie some advice.
When Wang Gang received the call, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then rejected Gu Changshan.
"Dad, divorce is Xingjie's private matter. It's not for me, the eldest brother, to interfere."
"Then you can't ignore it. Xingjie and Fengxia have only been married for a few years. They are about to get divorced. As family members, we should try to persuade them if we can." Gu Changshan said self-righteously.
"Dad, if you ask me, you don't understand the situation, so it's best not to interfere. Only the couple themselves know whether their marriage is happy or not. Too much interference from outsiders will be counterproductive." Wang Gang in turn advised Gu Changshan.
"What do you mean by this? Do you still agree with your brother's divorce?" Gu Changshan blamed:
"I know Xingjie is not your biological brother, but he has always regarded you as his biological elder brother. At this time, we don't care about him, who cares about him!"
Wang Gang was silent again. Of course he knew that Gu Changshan cared about Chen Xingjie, but in Wang Gang's view, it was only a matter of time before Chen Xingjie and Liang Fengxia's marriage went into trouble.
Wang Gang is not optimistic about the marriage of Chen Xingjie and Liang Fengxia. The main reason is that the gap between the two is too big. One is a graduate student and the other is a technical secondary school student. It is difficult to have common topics in daily life.
More importantly, there are also big problems with the characters of Chen Xingjie and Liang Fengxia.
Liang Fengxia has a strong personality and wants to make money and prove her success.
However, Chen Xingjie attaches more importance to family ties and cares less about money. In their lives, conflicts will definitely break out because of money issues.
Although Wang Gang regards Chen Xingjie as his younger brother, he doesn't want to worry about everything for him. He is already an adult, has received higher education, and has his own judgment.
As the eldest brother, all Wang Gang can do is to help Chen Xingjie when he is in trouble.
After rejecting Gu Changshan, not long after Wang hung up the phone, Lin Xiaoqing called.
"Did Dad call you too?" Wang Gang said helplessly.
"Well, my parents asked us to go home for dinner at night." Lin Xiaoqing said.
Wang Gang sighed and warned: "Don't interfere in Xingjie's divorce tonight."
"I know." Lin Xiaoqing asked, "Do you want me to call Fengxia?"
"No, if you look for Liang Fengxia, the problem will be even worse." Wang Gang said firmly:
"I guess even if we don't look for Liang Fengxia, the Liang family will come."
Sure enough, as Wang Gang expected, when he picked up his wife Lin Xiaoqing and returned to Gu Changshan's house in the evening, Liang Fukuan and Ma Xiaoyun were both there.
"Lao Gu, the children are ignorant. We parents cannot be confused. We firmly do not agree to divorce in this marriage."
Liang Fukuan and Ma Xiaoyun had serious faces, and there was even a hint of uneasiness in their eyes.
"Lao Liang, don't worry, of course I don't agree with Xingjie's divorce. It's common for couples to quarrel, and it's not uncommon to get into fights. Why can't they divorce so easily?" Gu Changshan said seriously.
Lin Xiaoqing heard this and said in surprise: "Did Xingjie hit Fengxia?"
Ma Xiaoyun glanced at Lin Xiaoqing and said disdainfully: "If I borrow Chen Xingjie's courage, he wouldn't dare to hit my daughter."
Lin Xiaoqing breathed a sigh of relief, and Wang Gang took his wife's hand and signaled her not to speak again, so as not to make the situation worse.
"Dad, where is the Xingjie man?" Wang Gang asked when he saw that Chen Xingjie was not at home.
"He took Fengqin, Zhaoxi and the others out and will come back later." Na Cunhua said:
"Zhaocheng, Xiaoqing, have you been very busy at work recently and your face has become thinner?"
Lin Xiaoqing smiled shyly and said, "I haven't had a good appetite recently, so I eat less."
Na Cunhua was stunned, suddenly remembered something, and said in surprise: "Xiaoqing, are you pregnant?"
Wang Gang laughed and said, "Mom, you are so smart."
While talking, Wang Gang took out a laboratory test sheet.
Gu Changshan also stood up at this time and grabbed the test form, but unfortunately he couldn't understand anything.
"What are you grabbing!" Na Cunhua took the list angrily, looked at the word "masculine" written on it, and almost smiled.
"Xiaoqing, you are pregnant now. Don't be tired. Sit down quickly." Na Cunhua seemed to be protecting the national treasure and asked Lin Xiaoqing to sit on the sofa.?
Gu Changshan was also very excited and didn't care about Liang Fukuan and Ma Xiaoyun at all.
"Xiaoqing, have you told your parents about your pregnancy?"
"Not yet, I just got the test results this afternoon." Lin Xiaoqing shook her head.
Hearing this, Gu Changshan and Na Cunhua became more and more satisfied with their eldest daughter-in-law.
Compare this to Liang Fengxia, who has been married to Chen Xingjie for almost two years and has not even received a single phone call. The couple suddenly felt a thorn in their hearts.
Liang Fukuan and Ma Xiaoyun felt a little unhappy when they saw Gu Changshan and the others leaving themselves alone.
Weren't we still talking about Chen Xingjie and Liang Fengxia's divorce just now? Why did no one care about them in the blink of an eye?
I saw Gu Changshan saying to Na Cunhua: "Let's make dumplings for dinner tonight, stuffed with pickled cabbage and pork. Xiaoqing likes to eat them."
"Okay, I'm going to make pickled vegetables right away." Na Cunhua said excitedly.
"Mom, don't be busy, just have something to eat tonight." Lin Xiaoqing grabbed Na Cunhua and said.
"You are pregnant now, so you can't take it easy. I remember when I was pregnant with Zhaocheng, I would talk about pickled cabbage and pork dumplings every day, and I would be greedy even in my dreams at night." Na Cunhua said cheerfully.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Mom, don't be busy, let me do it! Uncle Liang and Aunt Ma are still here!"
Only then did Gu Changshan and Na Cunhua think of their in-laws.
"Fu Kuan, Xiaoyun, I'm sorry, I won't greet you today. Later, you can also try to persuade Feng Xia. How can a couple live without conflicts? Divorce is not an option." Gu Changshan began to issue an eviction order.
Ma Xiaoyun was still a little reluctant, but when Wang Gang glanced over, they immediately shuddered and stood up to leave.
Not long after the two of them left, Chen Xingjie took Gu Zhaoxi and the others home. When they heard that Lin Xiaoqing was pregnant, they were overjoyed and no one mentioned the divorce again.
After eating dumplings in the evening, Wang Gang pulled Chen Xingjie to the balcony and chatted alone.
"When you come back this time, will you go back to Guangzhou and Shenzhen?" Wang Gang deliberately avoided the topic of divorce.
"I'm not going back, I'm going to start a business in a border town." Chen Xingjie said solemnly.
"Have you decided on what industry to choose? Do you need my help?" Wang Gang asked.
"I want to build my hometown." Chen Xingjie said gratefully: "If I need help, I will talk to my eldest brother."
Wang Gang patted Chen Xingjie on the shoulder, nodded, and prepared to enter the house.
"Brother, thank you for not asking about Fengxia and I." Chen Xingjie suddenly said.
?"It's not convenient for me to get involved in your private affairs."
?Chen Xingjie lowered his head sadly and said, "Liang Fengxia is also pregnant, and the child is not mine!"
?Wang Gang's eyes widened and he almost said "I am Cao".
