Reborn since 2005

Chapter 282 The feeling of home
I had a meal in the service area of ​​the expressway, and then took a rest. At two o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Xin drove off again.

What was playing in the car was still the same record, just the songs by the singers of his own company.

All the way to the north, passing through several cities, I don't know how many mountains and waters there are.

Finally drove to the city when it was dark.

At this time, Feng Xi called Yan Xin, told him that the meal was ready, and asked him how long it would take to arrive.

Yan Xin said that he had arrived in the city and would arrive in the county in about an hour.

It is more than 60 kilometers from the city to the county seat. Although it is not a highway, it is still no problem to get there in an hour.

Feng Xi mentioned a place and told him that she would wait for him there.

That place can be regarded as a landmark in the county, Yan Xin knows.

Yan Xin drove this Mercedes-Benz out of the urban area and headed west.

The night is getting heavier and heavier.

This is Yan Xin's second life, driving home for the first time.

He was already used to seeing the scenery along the way, but they were all passing by during the day, and this was the first time passing by this area at night.

Along the way, there are still some strange feelings.

This day is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, a small eve in the north.

Tomorrow is the Southern New Year's Eve.

It's already the Chinese New Year time, even at night, there are more vehicles on the road, most of them are people going home for the New Year.

There are many forks along the way, and those forks are connected to the way some people go home, and some cars drive on the fork, and they are almost home.

This night, I don't know how many families will be illuminated by the lights on this road, and it will become warmer.

With the diversion of those forked roads, the number of cars in front gradually decreased.

But still more cars than usual.

Along the way, Yan Xin is not alone in this car.

After finally reaching the county seat, Yan Xin slowed down the speed of the car.

When I arrived at the supermarket Feng Xi mentioned, I saw a man in a red down jacket waiting there from a distance, watching every passing car seriously.

Looking at that figure, it was Feng Xi.

It was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and it was night again, and it was still quite cold outside, so I stamped my feet a few times while standing.

I don't know how long I've been waiting here.

Although he has already made a decision that he will not have any ambiguous relationship with Feng Xi in this life, but the moment he saw Feng Xi, Yan Xin had a feeling of going home in his heart.

After driving for a day, you are all travelers and foreign lands along the way.

At this moment, seeing that familiar person under the street lamp in the county town of his hometown gave him a feeling of finally going home, and an inexplicable warm feeling in his heart.

For so many years in his previous life, Feng Xi was his family, and even in a sense, his home.

With Ai Lili, he can feel the feeling of being in love, but only with Feng Xi can he feel the feeling of home.

This is a feeling brought over from the previous life, not something that can be erased if you want to.

The car slowed down and the horn honked a few times.

Feng Xi looked at the car, then raised one hand and waved it tentatively.

Yan Xin drove the car to a stop in front of her, rolled down the window, and said, "Get in the car."

Feng Xi opened the car door and sat in the co-pilot seat, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "You are so warm in this car, it's almost freezing to death outside."

Yan Xin saw that her nose was turning red, presumably from the cold, and felt distressed for no reason, and asked, "How long have you been waiting?"

Feng Xi said: "Almost half an hour."

"It's such a cold day, why did you come here for so long? Didn't I say I'll be there in an hour?" Yan Xin said unhappily.

Feng Xi said: "I'm afraid you will come early and not find me."

From the moment she saw Yan Xin, she had a smile on her face, and she always smiled when she said this, and her eyes were on Yan Xin.

At this moment, in her eyes, in her heart, and in her world, there is only this one person.

Yan Xin accidentally touched her eyes, and suddenly felt inexplicably guilty, and didn't dare to look at her anymore.

Looking forward, he asked, "Where are we going next?"

"A few days ago I recruited a few more employees, and I rented a three-bedroom apartment nearby as their dormitory. I have already prepared a meal there, let's go there for a meal first." Feng Xi said.

When he said this, he still looked at Yan Xin, his eyes were filled with the joy of seeing his beloved.

Yan Xin coughed, "Which way should I go?"

Feng Xi came to his senses and pointed in one direction: "Turn right at the intersection, two intersections past, just enter a community."

Yan Xin glanced at her again: "Fasten your seat belt."

Feng Xi buckled up the safety belt obediently, and asked again:

"Did you buy this car? How much?"

"It's not expensive, around 60 to [-]." Yan Xin said.

After finishing speaking, he explained another sentence: "Payment in installments."

Feng Xi snorted, and said, "It's quite amazing that you can drive here alone from such a distance."

Yan Xin couldn't help feeling a little proud: "That's right, I'm still a bit talented in driving."

Feng Xidao: "After the college entrance examination, I also want to learn to drive."

Her online store dividends in the past few months have been several million. It is no problem to buy a car. Having a car will be much more convenient for herself. Learning to drive is also necessary.

However, Yan Xin still has some worries: "Can you do it? Driving is still quite dangerous sometimes."

"I'm also a little worried about this. I'm a little timid, and I won't know what to do when I encounter danger." Feng Xi smiled embarrassedly, then looked at Yan Xin, and said with a smile, "It would be great if someone could help me drive. "

Yan Xin didn't know if there was any other meaning in what she said, so he just said, "Then you can hire an experienced old driver."

Feng Xi lived not far from here, less than a mile away.

Yan Xin drove very slowly, and drove into a community under her guidance.

This is a relatively new community with property management.

There are only two or three such communities in the entire county this year.

The car was parked in the community, and I took a parking card, and I had to pay after I went out.

The community is not big, there are only a few buildings in total, only about ten floors high, but there are elevators installed.

There are only a few buildings in the county with elevators installed, and most of them are step ladders.

The house Feng Xi rented was on the fifth floor of one of the buildings. When two people went in, Yan Xin sighed with emotion: "The house here is not bad, and you are not short of money, why are you still renting a house? Why don't you just buy a house?" Woolen cloth?"

Houses in the county town are still very cheap, unbelievably cheap.

Even if the price of this kind of elevator room is more expensive, it is not much more expensive.

With Feng Xi's current financial resources, it's no problem at all.

Feng Xi glanced at him: "The houses in this place don't have much room for appreciation, and it's meaningless to sell them. I'm going to take the college entrance examination in three or four months, and I have to live in school most of the time when I'm studying, so I don't have much time. Living here, after the college entrance examination, I will not live here, and it is meaningless to buy."

The houses here really don't have much room for appreciation.

According to Yan Xin's memory, more than ten years later, the house prices in this county are generally still at three to four thousand one square meters.

For a while, it rose to five or six thousand and one square meters, but later masks became popular, and the house price fell to three or four thousand, and it was still difficult to sell at that price.

It is a bit funny to want to invest in real estate here.

He said: "But it can be used as a dormitory for employees."

Feng Xi shook her head: "Wherever I go to study, the online store will also be transferred, and there is no way to give them a dormitory."

"What if the employees here don't want to follow you?" Yan Xin asked.

"As long as the money is enough, they will be willing." Feng Xi is very confident. "I can offer a price if it is worth the price. If it is not worth the price, it means that it is not an irreplaceable person and can be recruited at any time." arrive."

"Okay, as long as you are prepared." Yan Xin said.

The elevator quickly went up to the fifth floor and entered the room that Feng Xi rented.

Yan Xin heard that this was the dormitory for the employees of the online store, and thought that some employees were waiting for his arrival inside.

Unexpectedly, the door was opened, the lights were not turned on, and there was no one inside.

Yan Xin was a little strange and asked, "Didn't you say that this is the dormitory for employees? Why is there no one there?"

Feng Xi said with a smile: "Tomorrow Xiaonian, they will all go home to celebrate Xiaonian, and they will not come back to work until the day after tomorrow."

Yan Xin couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, thinking to himself: "This means that there are only me and her here? Could it be that something like the last time happened?"

This house is relatively large. After Feng Xi came back, he turned on the lights in the living room and the dining room, then went to the kitchen, and said to him:
"I have already prepared all the meals. I don't know when you will come. It may be a little cold in there. I will heat it up now. You can just eat it. It doesn't matter if it doesn't suit your appetite. Then we will Just go out and eat."

Both of them have money in their hands now, wasting a meal is not a big deal, and the little money lost can be ignored.

However, Yan Xin still couldn't do it when someone had worked so hard to cook the food, but he thought the food was not to his taste and wanted to go out to eat.

I ate food cooked by Feng Xi for several years in my previous life, and I ate it once in this life. There is no such thing as unsuitable taste.

Naturally, he couldn't say anything about going out to eat, and said with a smile: "I remember that your craftsmanship is good, how could it not suit my appetite? What have you done?"

"I stewed a native chicken, steamed a sea bass, and a plate of fried pork with green peppers, and a plate of shredded lettuce." Feng Xi said.

"So much, can the two of us eat enough?" Yan Xin couldn't help but asked.

"If you can't eat it, leave it." Feng Xi laughed.

With their current conditions, they really don't need to care too much about these.

The native chicken is stewed in a crock pot, and it is still hot now, so there is no need to heat it at all.

But the other dishes were cold after more than half an hour in such a cold day, and they couldn't be eaten without heating.

But if it is heated, the color and fragrance will be affected to some extent.

After Feng Xi brought out the crock pot chicken, he went to the kitchen to heat up several other dishes.

It wasn't fun for Yan Xin to sit outside, so he also went into the kitchen, consciously filling the meals.

Having been a couple for several years in his previous life, cooperation in the kitchen has become a habit, and doing these things now is a natural behavior for him.

The rice is inside the rice cooker, and when the lid is opened, steam is still bubbling outside.

There are two bowls of rice, one for each person.

The spoon was also taken.

You don't have to eat the rice, but you have to drink a bowl of chicken soup first.

The taste of the native chicken is the same, but the soup is really delicious.

Especially in the winter, drinking such a bowl will warm up the whole person.

There is no heating or air conditioning in such a big house, and it is still a bit cold for two people in this empty house.

But after drinking a bowl of chicken soup, it's not cold anymore.

A bowl of chicken soup has not been finished yet, several dishes have been reheated and served on the table.

Yan Xin scooped up a bowl of chicken soup for Feng Xi, and said to her, "You went out to freeze just now, so drink a bowl of soup first."

"After being in your car for a while, it's not cold anymore." Feng Xi said.

But she still picked up the chicken soup and drank it slowly.

At this time, the chicken soup is still hot, so I can only drink it slowly.

While she was drinking chicken soup, Yan Xin started to eat.

I had a meal at the service area of ​​the expressway at around [-] noon, but the taste of the meal was quite ordinary, and I didn't eat much.

It was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and I was really hungry. Although I drank a bowl of chicken soup to fill my stomach, I still felt hungry.

This meal was delicious.

And the taste of those few dishes is also very familiar, it is the memory from the previous life.

Eating and eating, my mind was a little dazed, as if I went back to the time when the two were husband and wife in the previous life, they just sat face to face and ate together.

People are still those two people, time and space have changed.

In my previous life, the dining table at home was not so big. Many times, two people ate on a small foldable table, and there were not enough bowls to place it. It would seem that there was not enough room for one more person.

At that time, they were working in Pengcheng, and the house they rented was not big, and there was no room for a table that was too big.

It's just two people living together, and there is no need to put a too big table.

Later, Yan Xin's father became ill, so he had to take over to live in him. The house he rented became bigger, with two bedrooms and one living room. The dining table was also bigger, but not as big as the current dining table.

After cooking a bowl of rice, Yan Xin packed another bowl of rice. Only at this time did he have the mood to ask Feng Xi: "You asked me to come here and said that there are some things that need to be discussed in person. What is it?"

Feng Xidao: "It's about the future development of our online store. I mean to make it more formal. In the future, we will set up such an e-commerce company. The shares will still be the same as before. We are half of each person, but the system needs to be improved. , I think this will help future development.”

"Okay, you can do this whenever it's convenient for you, and I will cooperate when you need my cooperation." Yan Xin said.

But he felt a little strange, just such a matter, there is no need to call him here for an interview, just chat online.

Feng Xi said again: "I don't have time to register the company now, I have time to do it after my college entrance examination."

Yan Xin nodded: "It doesn't matter. Postponing for half a year will not delay the development. It doesn't matter how it develops or how it develops. It doesn't matter whether it is a company or not."

"There is also the matter of acquiring several factories..." Feng Xi said again.

Hearing Feng Xi mention this topic, Yan Xin felt a little embarrassed.

Because the factory they said they want to buy is a factory that produces sex toys, in order to enrich the content of the online store Chungui Youmeng.

Anyway, we are already developing in this direction, so we can go deeper in this industry and grasp the production channels, so that we can make better use of traffic.

But this topic is a bit too ambiguous. It is embarrassing for two people who are alone and widow to discuss this matter this night.

However, Feng Xi herself did not feel this awkward feeling. While eating, she chatted with Yan Xin about the manufacturers she liked.

The categories produced by several manufacturers are different, but they are all important categories in this market, such as cups, toy figures that need to be pumped up, and offensive products such as guns, sticks, and eggs.

Compared with similar competing products, their products are not very competitive, and they do not have their own brands—in this industry, not to mention that they have not yet formed a brand, even after more than ten years, they still have not formed a brand.

On the contrary, the brand of the online store is bigger than the brand of the product.

Those manufacturers all produce this kind of products for other online stores, and the ones they chose are all the ones with poor performance and the boss wants to sell them.

In this case, the acquisition of their factory does not need to spend too much money, which can save some costs.

If the product is not selling well, sometimes it is a quality problem, but sometimes it is not necessarily a quality problem.

At least the products produced by those factories have been inspected by the supervisor of the Chungui Youmeng online store, and they are no worse than others among similar products.

This thing does not have any core technology, as long as it is not particularly conscientious and made of some low-quality materials, the quality is basically the same.

They also have online stores themselves, but they don't know how to operate online stores. Their products are lost to the public and there is no market, so they can't do it.

Feng Xi's confidence in purchasing such a factory comes from the fact that Chunguiyoumeng, an online store, already has a certain amount of traffic, and even has a certain reputation in this industry because it was the first to propose the concept of sexy Hanfu.

Moreover, they have in-depth cooperation with Xingguang. As long as Xingguang has new traffic, they can also have new traffic.

Being able to deliver products to more people is an advantage that those few manufacturers do not have.

Winning these factories can give them a more competitive advantage in terms of price.

It is not impossible to create your own brand with a little bit of care and design some more interesting products.

The director of Chungui Youmeng has gone to the store many times, and eliminated more than ten targets in the process. The three manufacturers that were finally targeted, if they can be settled, the product catalog of this online store will add a lot of new products .

The progress is relatively smooth. If there are no accidents, the matter can be settled within a month.

Of course, some funds are needed to acquire a factory, and it is also possible to design some new products and introduce new production lines, which require more funds.

So Feng Xi and Yan Xin mentioned that in the next few months, the online store should not pay dividends, and use the profits on development, expand the scale of the factory, develop new products, introduce new production lines, and increase product competition. Power and so on.

To just make a little money, you don't need to make a lot of improvements.

But if you want to make a lot of money and become a leader in this market, you still need more investment.

In addition to this type of product, serious Hanfu and fashion also need to be expanded.

Golden Dawn sells fashion, some of the clothes are produced by their own garment factory, and some of the clothes are sold by others.

For example, the down jackets that are very popular in winter are not produced by themselves, but sold by others.

Feng Xi also has an idea to expand the garment factory, introduce new production lines, recruit more workers, and produce more of his own products, so as to be more competitive in price.

At present, products are made around these three online stores, but Feng Xi has great ambitions for the future. He wants to get involved in more industries, open more online stores, invest in or acquire more factories, and have a complete e-commerce industry. chain.

If you can have your own e-commerce platform, it will be even stronger.

Of course, she also knew that she couldn't do that now, and she didn't have that much money to burn.

But you can take your time.

The future is still very long, she is only now, not in a hurry.

Yan Xin didn't object to her vision for the future, he thought it might succeed.

It's just a request to her: "It's good to have ideas, but we can't rush for success. You have to promise me that we can only use the money we earn to expand the scale, and we can't do such things with loans."

Normal business development is basically carried out by loans. Few people have to use the money they earn to expand their business territory. It is too slow and many opportunities will be missed.

Yan Xin also understands this truth. He himself takes out a loan whenever he can, whether buying a house or a car.

It's just that he has a deep psychological shadow of Feng Xi's many investment failures in his previous life, and he is afraid that she will bring the bad luck of her previous life, so she is eager for success, borrows money to expand her business territory, and then enters.

Things like this happen a lot in the business world.

So he wants to advance Feng Xi.

Use the money earned to continue to develop, even if you lose, you won't have nothing.

Although some good business opportunities will be lost in this way, it is safe and will not fall into the pit.

Feng Xi didn't object to his proposal: "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of aggressive investor, and I won't take risks."

Yan Xin thought to himself: "That's not necessarily true, I'm too familiar with you."

The two chatted while eating, and more than half an hour passed without knowing it.

The few dishes Feng Xi made were almost eaten.

More than two-thirds of it was eaten by Yan Xin.

In the end, my stomach was full.

I didn't want to eat so much at first, but when I thought that Feng Xi cooked these dishes specially for him in this winter, I felt so sorry for wasting them.

Of course, the taste is also to his liking.

The most important thing is that this smell awakens the memory of his home in his previous life, and there is a feeling in it.

Feng Xi was quite happy to see him eating so vigorously.

After eating, Feng Xi pointed to a bedroom and said:
"You can sleep in this room tonight. It used to be occupied by other employees. I tidied it up and put on new sheets and quilts."

Yan Xin was stunned for a moment: "Do you just live here?"

There is some apprehension in my heart.

It's not a good thing for a lonely man and a widow to live in the same room.

Especially now that he already has a girlfriend, he really doesn't want to make any more troubles.

He originally thought of opening a room in the hotel to live in, which would be good for everyone.

Feng Xi was also stunned for a moment: "There are vacant rooms here, of course I live here. Do you think the living environment here is not good? If so, there is a hotel more than two miles away in the past. I will take you there Open the room."

When she said this, Yan Xin was ashamed to say that he went to the hotel to open a room - it seemed that he was rich and drifted away, and he didn't like such an accommodation environment anymore.

After hesitating for a while, he could only smile and said, "Then live here, I'm not that picky, but I just think it's not suitable to live with a girl like you."

Feng Xi glanced at him, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "It's not like living in a bedroom, what's wrong with it? You won't spread the word all over the world, will you?"

Yan Xin shook his head quickly: "Of course not!"
