Chapter 182 Winter Habitat

After the White Dew, the Autumnal Equinox is approaching.

Although it is the beginning of autumn a long time ago, if you really want to be precise, autumn in the south often only truly begins on the day of the autumnal equinox.

Suddenly, Jiangchuan City, which had experienced a long and hot summer, became cold. There was no sudden cool autumn weather or clear moonlight and breeze, but at least the air was no longer hot, the days became shorter, and the shadows at dawn and dusk became more hazy. The grass, which had been green for a spring and summer, had turned a bleak yellow. The migratory birds returning south always flew in groups over the sky full of electric wires above their heads.

One day after school, Ji Ling was walking on the school's tree-lined path with her Nike backpack on her back. She saw a dense flock of migratory birds covering the entire sky. She pointed to the sky and asked Zhang Yunqi excitedly, "Where are their wintering grounds?"

“It’s right next to you.”

"why?"

"Because you have taken over the entire warm summer."

Ji Ling had her hands behind her back and looked dazed. Suddenly she smiled, then skipped and walked in front like a carefree little girl. After a while, she suddenly turned back, took Zhang Yunqi's arm and said, "Xiao Zhang, you're the one I mentioned in the opening ceremony, right? Wow, you're not bad, young man. You're secretly helping others. I'll treat you to rice dumplings tonight."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yunqi looked at her walking in front of him with big strides. Her steps were light and full of the agility and clarity unique to girls.

That's the girl.

She lived her youth in a protracted manner, a little carelessly, and especially neat and tidy. When next to her, Zhang Yunqi always had a feeling, relaxed, simple, happy, and not so complicated.

He was also very happy with Lianzhong's business performance.

After half a year of development, the distribution channels in the entire Xiangdong area have been built. Except for the headquarters in Jiangchuan City, there are offices of Lianzhong Trade in various regions. Once the salesmen who have been trained and have met the performance requirements at the headquarters are placed in the offices, the framework has been established. As for the source of customers, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is an endless supply. After all, in this era, the seller's market has never had to worry about selling goods, and for a ace product like Xiaobawang, as long as there is supply, it can be sold at a profit. However, for Wang Guibing, who is responsible for the distribution of goods, and the distributors below, purchasing is really a headache. The Xiaobawang manufacturer is out of stock every day, and during the holidays, the trucks waiting to transport goods can be lined up for miles. Naturally, Lianzhong Trade, the distributor, is also out of stock.

However, the rewards are also great. Working at Lianzhong Trade, Wang Guibing gets the salary of a deputy general manager and gets regular dividends. Although he doesn't hold a large stake, the money he gets in half a year is probably enough to buy five or six houses. But now Wang Guibing has a broader vision. He doesn't care about this little money. The boss has paid more than 3 million in dividends in the past six months! This little money he earns is really nothing.

In fact, Zhang Yunqi generally does not advocate dividends for start-ups. In the historical stage of rapid growth, on the one hand, the company itself is in a growth stage and needs a lot of funds. On the other hand, investing funds in the company's current high-growth business can maximize the return on shareholders' investment. This is especially evident in some technology companies. Development-oriented companies generally use all profits for further research and development expenses. Google, Dell, and Amazon have never paid dividends; Cisco and Apple have only paid dividends once in total, so these technology giants have a lot of cash in their hands. But Zhang Yunqi had to pay dividends. This Little Overlord computer learning machine was originally sold by a second-hand dealer. It does not require large funds to operate, and there is no so-called merger and acquisition and investment. There is no place to spend money. Why keep it if you don't pay dividends!

Wang Guibing is now becoming more and more ambitious.

This gambler hasn't touched mahjong for a long time. Apart from going to Xiangshan City, most of the time he takes Ma Shi to offices in various places to deal with cargo issues. Don't be fooled by him acting like an honest and obedient person like a loyal guard dog in front of Zhang Yunqi. He is very particular about his style in front of his employees and distributors. He is a boss who only seeks the vanity of being followed by everyone. What he admires most is the "style" of his boss Zhang Yunqi. When he has nothing to do, he is humorous and can make some profound jokes. When encountering problems, he is calm and composed without changing his expression even when a mountain collapses in front of him. He has a lot of aura.

But Wang Guibing found that he could not learn it. He would feel proud if the distributors below flattered him a few times, and he would be arrogant after a few drinks at the table. He could not hide it no matter what. When he felt lonely at night, he liked to go to brothels and look for girls for entertainment. He was full of blood. When he just made a little money with Zhang Yunqi, he did not know how to keep himself clean. But not now. Now he is attracted to the flower of Longjingyuan Canning Factory.

This may not be entirely accurate. He had been obsessed with her since he was in middle school, but he was too poor at the time. He had the desire but not the courage. Later, his family got into trouble and his father died, making his family even more destitute. He was a loser at the time, a well-known gambler and swindler in the factory, and was forced to be suspended from his job without pay. As a result, he gave up on her and watched her hook up with the deputy factory director's son.

Wang Guibing only talked about these things with Zhang Yunqi when they were having supper and drinking at night. He always felt that although his boss was very young, he was a capable person who understood people, the ways of the world, and women. His difficulties were not a problem at all to him, and he could give good advice. This was the reason why he was so obedient to Zhang Yunqi, of course, the factor of money had to be excluded.

In fact, in addition to the profitable business of Lianzhong Trading, he also has another business that can really make him a fortune, the VCD player project.

Wang Guibing was both looking forward to and a little proud of this project, because except for him, the boss of Lianzhong had not mentioned this project to anyone else, and the boss also said that the VCD player was a huge project worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions, and that a factory would be acquired to set up a new company to operate it. As the general contact person for this project, he was still looking forward to it. Although up to now, he still didn't know whether this thing would be popular or easy to sell after it was developed, but he knew at least one thing, that he would not go wrong if he followed his boss and was guaranteed to make a fortune.

Every time he went south to Xiangshan City to deal with the Subor learning machine, Wang Guibing would stop by the studio in Xiangshan to take a look and understand the situation.

After learning about it a few times, he roughly knew that Hu Zhibiao, Liu Qiang and Yang Jian, the three new brothers, were developing VCD players. It was the first time for a virgin to get married. He didn't know why the boss took a fancy to this group of guys who came from independent backgrounds, and offered them an annual salary of over 100,000 yuan. He was not in a hurry at all, never urged them, and never asked much. But it was useless to urge them, as the development of this thing took a relatively long time. The development of the decoder board control system alone would take several months, and there were also all those messy circuit boards and hardware development that he could not understand at all.

Now there are only two months left until the end of the year, and Wang Guibing wants Hu Zhibiao and his two brothers to work harder to produce the prototype before New Year's Day and then report to the boss, otherwise everyone will be in trouble.

Of course, there is still some time to move forward on these things. Now his boss Zhang Yunqi has given him a task that needs to be done as soon as possible. To be more precise, this task is to find a house for Chu Jian's family.
