Rebirth of the Wild Age

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the daily sales of canned Qiqiao cups fell off a cliff, with a drop of 92%.

However, the popularity of gift cans has successfully launched the signboard of "Xifeng". While the sales volume of the Qiqiao Cup series has fallen, the sales volume of Xifeng brand water cup cans has begun to rise steadily, becoming the leader in the canned food industry in Xikang Province in one fell swoop.

Under such a good situation, not only follow-up products appeared in the market, but even counterfeit and counterfeit products appeared.

Some cans are directly labeled with Xifeng’s trademark, while others are “Xifeng”, “Xifeng”, “Xiwang”, “Xigui”... Anyway, they use very scribbled fonts, and they all look similar at first glance.

Song Weiyang had nothing to do about it.

In the 1990s when fakes were flying everywhere, not to mention domestic products, even Chinese canned food exported to the West had counterfeit products. Some companies have opened up relationships and exported them with labels of brand-name cans, or even mixed them with genuine products. Foreigners are hard to guard against this, and news of fake products will appear every now and then, which will have a bad impact on the international reputation of Chinese canned food.

Fortunately, those counterfeit products are small-scale, and can be easily identified from the cans - Xifeng's cans are thicker, more beautiful, and cost more, and small copycat factories are reluctant to spend money.

Song Weiyang hurriedly made amends and asked people to register all the high imitation trademarks. More than 30 kinds were registered in one go, including "Xi Le", "Like", and "Xi Tian" that had never appeared before. If any counterfeit factory can grow bigger, hehe, that would be fun. Ten years later, we will file a lawsuit, and we will hit one for sure.

Well, most of the current small private factories do not have registered trademarks, and they don’t even have production licenses, and they don’t even know what taxation is.

...

Monday, October 11.

It has been four days since the cold dew, the temperature has generally dropped, and the autumn rain has continued.

Yang Xin walked out of the railway station in the provincial capital with his bag on his back. His steps were heavy and he was confused about the way ahead. He graduated from Zhejiang University in 1986 and became a deputy county magistrate in less than half a year, which was commonplace in that era.

The neighbors and folks all think that he is very successful, but Yang Xin himself is very unhappy. Because the county he worked in had 16 deputy county magistrates, each with overlapping jurisdictions. Anyone can control the same thing, and no one can ignore it. Sometimes if you manage it, it means you don't care.

Yang Xin only served as the deputy county magistrate for three months before he applied for a transfer to a state-owned enterprise to serve as the secretary and director of a leather factory.

In four years, under Yang Xin's painstaking management, the debt-ridden leather factory prospered rapidly, with an annual net profit of up to 20 million yuan. Unwilling to work for the local government, Yang Xin repeatedly asked for the reform of the shareholding system, but the negotiations failed, so he took 100,000 yuan to Qiongdao to speculate in real estate.

In the past three years, 100,000 yuan has increased by more than 100 times.

Yang Xin had long felt that Qiongdao's real estate market was about to collapse, but he was a gambler by nature, and he always felt that he could go crazy for another year or so.

Just in June this year, the central government issued policies to curb the overheating of Qiongdao's property market.

The total value of the real estate in the hands of Yang Xin and a few friends is over 100 million, but they still owe the bank more than 60 million. As soon as the government regulates, the land and real estate cannot be sold, the bank is urging to repay the debt, and the capital chain is shattered.

The entire Qiongdao is in chaos. Countless bankrupt real estate speculators have left more than 600 unfinished buildings, 18,000 hectares of idle land, and a backlog of more than 80 billion yuan in funds. Some properties have not been revitalized for a long time, and no one bought them at bank auctions, so they can only be rented out at low prices as pig farms.

On National Day, Yang Xin and his friends stood in the unfinished building, drinking, singing, and crying.

"Brothers, let me go first, and I will be a good man again in eighteen years!" A friend jumped off, his brain burst and blood flowed all over the ground.

Yang Xin and the rest of the people looked at each other, cherished each other, and left separately.

At this moment, Yang Xin just wanted to go back to his hometown and visit his parents whom he hadn't seen for several years. But when he walked out of the train station, he suddenly couldn't move his legs, and he had no face to go back!

Back then, he was the first college student in the town, wearing a big red flower, and the commune leader personally drove him away. Back then, when he became a deputy county magistrate after graduation, his parents spent 200 yuan on firecrackers, and everyone from the left to the right came to congratulate him.

Just go back in such a despondent manner now?

A gust of autumn wind blew, Yang Xin couldn't help shivering, and suddenly found that he didn't know which alley he walked into.

There is a teahouse at the entrance of the alley, which is very lively.

Yang Xin's clothes were already wet by the drizzle, he went into the teahouse and ordered a pot of tea, and began to seriously think about his future.

"General!"

"Ouch, regret one step, regret one step!"

"No, don't play if you want to regret the game."

"You regretted a step yesterday, and today it's me."

"..."

The two old men at the leading table quarreled, and the quarrel became more and more fierce, and it reached the point of rolling up their sleeves and fighting.

Yang Xin suddenly felt a little funny, why he laughed, even he couldn't tell.

Most of the teahouses are old people, some are playing traditional cards, some are playing chess, poker and mahjong are rare. There are also some who drink tea, a few old guys sit at a table, brewing a bowl of tea, bragging about going to outer space.

An old man held the "Rongcheng Evening News" and sighed: "Young people these days are so fierce. They have come out to start businesses in their teens."

"Which company?" asked the old man at the same table.

"It's the Xifeng canned food. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, you received two boxes. Did you forget?"

"Don't forget, I still accept luxury clothes. Is that factory run by a teenager?"

"Seventeen years old, still in high school. Look, it's printed in the newspaper. His father used to be a big entrepreneur, and he's in prison. His family's factory owes millions, and his mother and brother have nothing to do This kid is amazing. During the summer vacation, he stole a few hundred dollars from his family and dared to go to Shenghai to inspect the canned food market in a big city. Why do you think he is so smart? He just found a way and took over the factory when he came back. Study while managing a business."

"Now that Xifeng canned food is so popular, the factory must have saved Sa?"

"It's more than just saving it. They sold several million last month."

"Mom, why isn't my baby so smart?"

"There are a lot of smart kids, but few are so bold. How dare you break into the beach at the age of seventeen?"

"Why don't I dare? I was a soldier when I was seventeen."

"Yes, you fought at the age of seventeen. You are a strong man, and you fight badly."

"My uprising is over anyway, I am the People's Liberation Army!"

"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it doesn't count anyway. Yours is called captive surrender."

"..."

The two old men had already gone to decades ago, but Yang Xin became interested after listening to it, so he ran to borrow the "Rongcheng Evening News" to read it carefully.

The nearly 5,000-word long newsletter explained Song Weiyang's basic operations in detail, including the state-owned factory's OEM production through a joint venture.

Yang Xin suddenly had an idea: this canning factory is very promising, but they lack scientific management and long-term planning. Anyway, I am desperate now, why not go to the cannery to try, maybe I can take this opportunity to make a comeback.

In the era of war and chaos, there are many kings of the mountain, and those who are capable also seek refuge in the Ming Lord.

The same was true in China in the 1980s and 1990s. Five of the future Vantone Six Gentlemen had defected to Mouzhong. They were Pan Shiyi, Feng Lun, Wang Gongquan, Liu Jun, and Wang Qifu.

With fame, let the ambitious people see hope, and they will naturally become stronger.

However, the talent has come, the lord must be able to hold back!

Feng Lun even became Mou Zhong's first arm, and two-thirds of the company's department managers are his people. Mou Zhongzhi was too wild, and Feng Lun could not dissuade him, so he pulled Wang Gongquan and others to study Zhang Xueliang, planning to play military advice, so that Mou Zhongzhong would only be the chairman of the board, and they would manage the company's affairs.

When Pan Shiyi joined the team, Feng Lun's remonstrance failed, so the group started from scratch and founded Wantong.

Yang Xin put the newspaper in his backpack, paid for the tea, and ran to the train station again. He is like a reckless hero in the rivers and lakes, down and out, and he plans to go to Liangshan when he hears a rumor.

At the same time, the deeds of "Xiao Song's factory manager" quickly spread in the provincial capital, and became a hot topic of discussion in the streets and alleys.

These days there are very few celebrity gossips, people are keen on social news, and especially like to read newspapers. A seventeen-year-old high school student turned around his family's difficulties and brought a factory back to life by himself, which is enough for people to discuss for a month or two.

There are even rumors that the reason why "Xiao Song Factory Manager" is so powerful is because he grew up eating canned yellow peaches...
