When the uncle and sister-in-law returned home, the nanny and aunt had already prepared dinner, and Fang Zhuoran was also back.
The whole family was waiting for Lin Mai and Fang Zhuoyue to come back and have dinner.
Today, we have Fang Zhuoyue, who is not a guest. The nanny aunt cooks all good dishes, but compared with the dishes in Jiangcheng before, the variety is still a bit inferior.
In the past, in Jiangcheng, all kinds of meat were free, and even if the weather got cold, all kinds of vegetables were free.
But in Beijing, you don’t have so much freedom when you want to eat beef. When the weather gets cold, it’s even harder to eat all kinds of vegetables.
This made foodie Fang Zhuoyue very dissatisfied, and said to Lin Mai: "Sister-in-law, are you also opening a market in the capital to sell off-season vegetables, beef and mutton, as well as meat products from the Su country? Otherwise, what is on the table?
The food is too boring.”
Lin Mai also had this plan, but she is no better than before.
Going to college requires more courses than high school, so it’s not easy at all.
Lin Mai spends six days a week in school studying hard, and the only private time left for her is one day on Sunday.
During this day, she had to deal with some company issues and take care of her family, so she didn't have much energy to open a vegetable market.
However, she had already spoken to Zhao Liang on the phone and asked him to send someone to be responsible for opening up the market in the capital.
After all she also wants beef, mutton and vegetables to be free.
Now Lin Mai tries her best to leave all the work that can be given to her subordinates, and she only has to manage it.
She has completed the first wave of accumulation of wealth and talents, and has put the company on the right track. There is no need for her to live as tiredly as before.
Lin Mai ate his meal and said, "If you want freedom of vegetables and freedom of beef, let's see if it can be realized during New Year's Day."
Grandpa Fang said: "Do you want me to come forward and find you a market?"
Opening a vegetable market benefits farmers and the people, and is beneficial to the country and the family. Grandpa Fang is willing to open this back door.
Lin Mai nodded in agreement and asked Grandpa Fang to find a large market for her.
The living conditions of the people in the capital are much better than those in Jiangcheng. The demand for off-season vegetables, beef and mutton, as well as various meat and dairy products from Su country is definitely much greater. The vegetable market is small, so the supply will definitely exceed the demand.
After dinner, Fang Zhuoran quietly told Fang Zhuoran that Su Yuying's distant cousin Su Yujie had just caused trouble for her sister-in-law in the mall.
After Fang Zhuoran heard this, he drove the jeep out.
Grandma Fang asked him where he was going, and he said the hospital had something to do with him.
When Fang Zhuoran went out, Lin Mai was taking a shower.
By the time she came out of the shower, Fang Zhuoran had long disappeared.
Lin Mai was sitting alone in the room reading books on electronic information engineering.
About an hour later, Fang Zhuoran came back with the chill of early winter.
Lin Mai turned to him and asked: "It's already night, and you still go out? Where have you been?"
Fang Zhuoran said bluntly: "Su Yujie's fiancé's house."
Lin Mai was a little surprised: "Why did you go to his house? Are you trying to steal a man from Su Yujie?"
Fang Zhuoran took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack.
He came over and rubbed her little head. How could his little wife have such a big imagination, she actually thought of herself and Su Yujie competing for a man!
He smiled helplessly and said: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
I went to tell Su Yujie’s fiancé and her future parents-in-law that Su Yujie had offended my wife, that is, the Fang family, and nothing else."
Fang Zhuoran's mouth curved: "If Su Yujie's father loses the support of her future father-in-law, he will definitely have no chance in this local cadre selection.
Not only Su Yujie's father, I think the entire Su family will be angry with Su Yujie, and her life in the Su family will not be easy."
Lin Mai looked at the man in front of him in shock.
Without losing one of your own soldiers, the other party will be routed.
Only fools use force, smart people use IQ.
This guy is really wasting his wealth if he doesn't go into business or politics.
Fang Zhuoran saw her looking at him blankly, and then rubbed her little head: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lin Mai said seriously: "I'm thinking, I can't let you have any leverage, otherwise it will be dangerous."
"Okay, stop acting." Fang Zhuoran pinched her delicate face, "You are my wife, how could I do that to you?"
The two of them read for a while, and it was ten o'clock in the evening.
Lin Mai returned to the room after taking a shower and saw Fang Zhuoran staring at her eagerly, just like a big tiger staring at a little white rabbit, and she couldn't help but shudder.
But it's useless to be afraid, he will still be bullied by Fang Zhuoran.
Fang Zhuoran was not as gentle as before tonight, which made Lin Mai a little unbearable.
After some lingering, Lin Mai gave Fang Zhuoran a small punch and complained: "I don't know how to show mercy to women."
Fang Zhuoran pressed on her, pinched her chin and said, "You dislike me for not knowing how to show mercy to women, and I'm still angry that you didn't tell me anything."
Lin Mai thought carefully: "I have nothing to hide from you!"
Fang Zhuoran kissed her heavily on the lips: "Why didn't you tell me that you were bullied by Su Yujie?"
Lin Mai blinked his big watery eyes: "Zhuo Zhuo has already taught her a lesson on the spot, is there any need to say anything else?"
"Yes! I didn't teach her a lesson!"
Fang Zhuoran asked her harshly: "Do you dare to hide this kind of thing from me in the future?"
Lin Mai's voice sounded intermittently: "I don't dare anymore..."
When he got up the next day, Lin Mai felt like his whole body was falling apart, and he even looked a little bad.
They were afraid that Grandpa Fang and his wife would see her look bad and ask questions.
After washing up, Lin Mai deliberately put a little rouge on his face, and his complexion immediately improved, as beautiful as a flower.
After breakfast, Lin Mai went to the Beijing office. First of all, he asked the cadres what the problem was when Jinxiu Clothing failed to join the franchise.
The sales manager in charge of Jinxiu Clothing in Beijing said that joining Jinxiu Clothing requires uniform standard decoration, and you also have to pay franchise fees and management fees. Many businessmen think it is not cost-effective.
They go to Hanzheng Street to buy goods and sell them themselves. They can save all these expenses and can sell them at whatever price they want. They are free and unrestrained.
The sales manager suggested that as long as Jinxiu Clothing only supplies goods to franchisees and no longer wholesales to self-employed individuals, stores can be forced to join.
Lin Mai denied it without hesitation.
Before the franchise store reaches a large scale, if we do this, the reputation of Jinxiu Clothing will collapse.
This is one of them.
Secondly, the current production volume of Jinxiu Clothing is very large. Stopping the wholesale business before the franchise store has established a scale will cause a large backlog of products.
After everyone listened to Lin Mai's analysis, they were all at a loss.
Lin Mai pondered for a moment and asked the general manager to rent ten stores in a prosperous area of the capital for at least a year, and they would open a chain store themselves.
The general manager asked: "Aren't you going to join the franchise?"
Lin Mai nodded: "Franchising is definitely a must. Opening a chain store by yourself would take up too much money.
Excessive occupation of funds will drag down the development of the entire enterprise, and this will not happen if you join the franchise."
The general manager murmured in his heart, since he wants to join the franchise, why should he open his own chain store?
Although there is a question mark in my mind, the boss’s orders must be implemented well.
In addition to asking the general manager to find a storefront to open a Jinxiu clothing chain store, Lin Mai also planned to hold a fashion show.
Although in 1979, Pierre Cardin had already held its first fashion show in China.
However, there were very few television sets at that time, and the fashion show did not cause much repercussions in society.
But even so, Pierre Cardin's reputation was still established.
Fast forward several years, and the penetration rate of TV sets in China has almost doubled compared to 1979.
Especially in cities, on average one of every two households has a TV.
In addition, urbanites at this time generally lived in houses assigned by their work units, and had good neighborly relations.
It is very common for people who do not have a TV to go to the homes of those who have a TV to watch TV.
If a Jinxiu clothing fashion show is held at this time, more than 80% of the city's viewing population should be able to play a very good publicity role.
However, Lin Mai does not intend to be just a fashion show like the first fashion show held by foreigners.
She plans to hold a fashion show in the form of a model competition, which will be more eye-catching and have greater influence.
For this fashion show of the model competition, all the clothes can only be provided by Jinxiu Clothing.
The competition mode refers to the selection mode of Super Girl on Mango Channel in the previous life, which is divided into audition, preliminary round, semi-finals and final round.
Lin Mai gave a rough outline of his ideas and handed it over to the general manager to let the head office's planning department and publicity department jointly complete the planning and publicity.
Finally, Lin Mai asked about the situation of finding a store to open a delicious chain store.
The general manager said that the storefronts have been decided, two will be bought out for four, one will be rented for ten years, and the renovation phase will begin next week.
Lin Mai nodded with satisfaction.
He said she would arrange the decoration.
Master Zhang's son started a decoration company at her suggestion. Whenever Lin Mai needed a decoration team, he always turned to Master Zhang's son.
Lin Mai, the decorator of the Jingcheng Baohaochi chain store, also plans to leave it to Master Zhang’s son to decorate.
Lin Mai's Baohaochi and Jinxiu clothing chain stores in Jiangcheng were all decorated by Master Zhang's son.
Let him decorate and build a delicious chain store, which is a familiar path for him.
After the meeting, Lin Mai spoke with Chen Feng, Tao Zhiyun and others from the head office to learn about the situation in Jiangcheng.
Zheng Xudong heard from Lin Mai that she was planning to open a chain store of delicious packages in Beijing, and he planned to personally bring his team to open the store.
Of course Lin Mai agreed.
He was originally in charge of food and catering, and his experience was more experienced than the cadres in the office. If he was in charge of opening a new store in the capital, everything would go smoothly.
After finishing the work matters, Lin Mai asked the general manager to arrange for people to transport all the mixers and dough mixers brought by Fang Zhuoyue to her bun shop in Qingda.
Although the equipment is overused, the machine has already been shipped. If it is not used, it would be a waste to leave it alone.
The general manager said: "I sent people to transport those two machines yesterday, and I even gave them tasks for the two stuffing mixers."
Lin Mai nodded with satisfaction and heard the general manager continue: "There is also a plastic bag production machine. Comrade Fang Zhuojue asked me to tell you that he wants to sell it to you."
Lin Mai's eyes suddenly widened.
That guy didn't mention that he had a plastic bag production machine yesterday. Was he trying to buy and sell her by force? He would kill her first and then sell it to her.
This guy!
Lin Mai asked: "What price does he want?"
The general manager stretched out a finger: "Ten thousand yuan."
The price is quite reasonable.
Lin Mai said: "You can ask the Finance Department to give him the money later.
You then arrange for someone to specialize in the production of plastic bags, and then arrange a few salesmen to sell plastic bags."
After explaining, Lin Mai drove home.
From afar, I saw two sisters, Su Yuying and Su Yujie, chatting with Fang Zhuoran at the back door.
Su Yuying's behavior is quite gentle, but Su Wangjie is like Shen Yuying two years ago, with a princess temperament, jumping up and down in front of Fang Zhuoran. She is very arrogant.
On the contrary, Su Yuying's personality improved a lot because she was married.
I heard that she married a second-generation official with a higher family status than hers.
That second-generation official was a man she had worked hard to get, and he didn't like her. Before marrying her, she had a very well-matched girlfriend.
A marriage without a love foundation leads to an unharmonious relationship between the couple.
In addition, Su Yuying studied abroad at public expense, which was just a formality and did not teach her true talents.
Her man's ex-girlfriend also studied abroad at public expense, but she returned to China after her studies were successful and worked as an engineer in a factory.
Comparing the two, Su Yuying's mother-in-law looked down on Su Yuying very much, saying that she was just an embroidered pillow, which was not useful but fancy.
Probably because the situation in her husband's family was not so good, Su Yuying was not as domineering as she was before she got married.
Lin Mai drove the car over and heard Fang Zhuoran say coldly to Su Yuying:
"If you dare to humiliate my wife, you will have to bear the consequences. I will not say a kind word to your cousin to win back the hearts of her fiancé's family!"
Lin Mai parked the car, got out of the car, and looked at the two sisters of the Su family coldly: "Don't harass my husband, get out of here!"
"You vixen, how dare you drive us away? I won't beat you to death!"
Su Yujie screamed and rushed towards Lin Mai, reaching out her hand to scratch her delicate little face.
Before her fingers touched Lin Mai, Fang Zhuoran grabbed her by the collar and threw her out.
He looked down upon Su Yujie condescendingly: "Don't even think about laying a finger on Maizi, she is not someone you can afford to fight!"
Su Yujie was so angry that she was just about to curse when Su Yuying forcibly dragged her away.
Su Yujie would offend the Fang family because of Su Yuying. She had to accompany Su Yujie to beg Fang Zhuoran to let Su Yujie go.
However, Su Yujie did not have the attitude of asking for help, which made the matter even more tense.
Su Yuying can only drag her away to avoid further offending the Fang family. By then, I am afraid that the entire Su family will be affected.
