Chapter 8
To Fang Yan in his childhood, his adoptive father Fang Guofei was like a stranger or an enemy. When he was at home, he disliked Fang Yan in various ways. He either scolded him or squinted at him. That kind of contempt was naked. of.

Fang Yan knew since he was a child that he was adopted and that Fang Guofei was not his biological father. This caused him to have no emotional connection with Fang Guofei from the root, and he had always been relatively alienated.He may even think that the reason why his adoptive father scolds him and despises him for no reason is because he is not his biological son.

When Fang Guofei was at home, Fang Yan felt that his whole body was tight. He was a little afraid of him. When he spoke or walked, he would subconsciously lower his voice as much as possible to avoid attracting his attention.If he didn't have to, he wouldn't want to appear under his eyes and hide in his room to play games.

Fortunately, Fang Guofei's contempt for him was really thorough, so thorough that he was not even interested in knowing what he was doing.No matter how long Fang Yan played in the room, he would not open the door and come in to see what he was doing.

When Fang Guofei wanted to see him for something, it was Xu Ailian who opened the door and walked in, walked behind Fang Yan, touched his head, and then said to him:

"Go, your father has something to tell you."

Fang Yan said "oh" and suddenly felt his scalp getting cold. He stood up, turned around and looked at Xu Ailian helplessly. Xu Ailian always reminded her: "Speak carefully, do you understand?"

She had already warned Fang Guofei about the same thing outside, and Fang Guofei snorted.

Fang Guofei was sitting on the sofa with his head slightly tilted upward. Even though he was sitting there and he was not actually on a parallel line with Fang Yan, he still had to maintain a bird's eye view and stare at Fang Yan silently.Fang Yan timidly walked over, sat down halfway on the sofa on the side, and then looked up at Fang Guofei.

What Fang Guofei wanted to ask him was nothing more than what score he got in the exam. In fact, Xu Ailian had already told him.He felt that he was Fang Yan's father, the head of the family. Such things must be told to him by Fang Yan himself.

After telling him, he can take the opportunity to ridicule him in front of Fang Yan. Even if Fang Yan gets a perfect score of [-], he will still use "Ouch, God's eyes are open, you can still get a [-]? No" Was it copied?" He spoke to Fang Yan in this tone until Xu Ailian stopped her and told Fang Yan to go back to the room.

Fang Yan then fled back to his room with great humiliation.

When Fang Guofei was at home, Fang Yan occasionally thought of his biological parents. He thought, if Fang Guofei was his biological father, would he still be like this?But then, he thought that if he was with his biological father, Xu Ailian would no longer be his mother, and he immediately gave up.

He only hoped that Fang Guofei could be a little more busy, so busy that he didn't even have time to come back, or even if he had come back today, it would be best to leave tomorrow.

Fang Guofei has been away from home for a long time. Fang Yan and Xu Ailian have been together for a long time. Mother and son have a feeling of dependence on each other, although their actual situation is not as sad as the words "depend on each other" literally.

Fang Guofei was generous in some aspects. He left enough money for Xu Ailian and Fang Yan. Even if the company's funds were tight, he would arrange their living expenses and pocket money first.After the company got rich, he even gave Xu Ailian a card. Xu Ailian never had to worry about the time when the card would run out of money.

Xu Ailian didn't like cooking very much. She often took Fang Yan out to eat. After eating, she took him to the movies, shopping malls, and even accompanied him to the Provincial Gymnasium on Stadium Road to watch basketball games that she didn't understand at all. .

Of course, like many other mothers, she would accompany Fang Yan to learn piano, painting, and English.

When Fang Guofei came back, Xu Ailian showed off her treasures and asked Fang Yan to recite the English text he had just learned to Fang Guofei. After Fang Yan finished reciting it tremblingly, Fang Guofei glanced at him sideways:
"What are you carrying? The sounds of American birds sound more like English than what you speak!"

Fang Yan cried loudly, and Xu Ailian shouted: "Have you had enough, Fang Guofei!?"

Fang Guofei rolled his eyes at Fang Yan and said, "You'll cry if you say anything, get out of here, you're a coward."

Xu Ailian's eyes widened and she stared at him, and then Fang Guofei let Fang Yan go.From then on, Xu Ailian never asked Fang Yan to recite any English text in front of Fang Guofei.When Fang Guofei was not at home, not even him, not even his adoptive mother Xu Ailian, knew where he was.At that time, it was not like now. Everyone has a mobile phone and can be contacted at any time. When my adoptive father's BB phone left Hangzhou, he could not receive messages in many places. Even if he did, he would not bother to reply if it was not important.

What's more, Xu Ailian and Fang Guofei are already an old couple. They have long passed the time when they had to rely on the phone to show their affection to each other every day.For Xu Ailian, it was enough that she had a dialect. Fang Guofei accidentally made the house a mess when he was at home, but it was more worry-free when he was gone.

Fang Guofei didn't go home for ten and a half days, and he couldn't even talk to Xu Ailian on the phone. Long-distance phone calls were so expensive.Fang Guofei went to his factory. Although the factory fawned over him, he was also very sensible. He did not have the attitude of those salesmen of state-owned foreign trade companies who would eat as much as they could, take as much as they could, and take advantage of them as much as they could.

He wouldn't just hold someone's phone and make long distance calls, making people watch and feel pain.

Even if Fang Guofei was coming back today, he would not call Xu Ailian first to tell him.Xu Ailian often went out for dinner with Fang Yan, came home after watching a movie or shopping in the mall, opened the door, and saw Fang Guofei sitting on the sofa with his hands and legs crossed, watching TV.When I asked him, he said he had eaten at the small shop at the door.

When Fang Guofei went to the factory below, he was very considerate of others. Even the director of his factory, if he wanted to invite Mr. Fang to dinner, he would say:

"Why are you spending that money? Let the chef in the cafeteria cook two dishes for one of us and the other, and we'll eat them in your office."

After eating like this, we soon developed a sense of brotherhood. The factories below were all willing to take orders from him. When production was busy, they would pull orders from other companies and produce his products first.

It is very tiring for a factory to deal with foreign trade companies. After all, someone else's order can determine the life or death of your factory. The factory has to take care of everyone from the foreign trade company, from the boss to the QC who comes to inspect the goods. Not only does it have to treat people to food It’s fun, but also something for people to take away.

In order to maintain a long-term relationship, it is even more important to manage everything during the holidays. Even cashiers like Xu Ailian will receive benefits from the factory, so that when checking out, they will not be difficult and can go smoothly.

Also, according to the procedures of large foreign trade companies, the salesman and QC are two separate lines. When the salesman places an order with you, he will make at most two trips in between. When you start production, he will ignore it and wait for you to complete the order. When all the products are produced and ready to be packed, QC comes. If there is really a problem with your products, he will ask you to rework them all.

Some QCs just feel that they have been neglected, and they will find an excuse to make you rework everything.

Factories are most afraid of rework after production is completed. After going back and forth, everyone's income has not increased, waste has increased, shipment time has been delayed, and they have to pay money, ask for favors, and beg for mercy.

After Fang Guofei's order came out, others would follow and keep an eye on the assembly line. If there was any problem, he would point it out immediately and rework it immediately. When the finished product comes out, there is no need to check it anymore and just pack it into boxes.

Everyone says that making Mr. Fang’s order is straight forward, without so many twists and turns. As long as Mr. Fang is satisfied with your goods, there will be no problem and you can boldly ship. Even if something goes wrong later, Mr. Fang will take care of it. Don't worry, he will negotiate with customers.

Comparing the two, Fang Guofei's style and style are naturally very popular among factories. Everyone hopes to receive orders from him and sincerely hopes that his company can grow bigger.

The same is true for customers. For products made by the same factory, Fang Guofei gives them a price concession.In foreign trade at that time, because there was no competition, the profit margin was very large. Fang Guofei only gave up a small part, but for customers, this was a real benefit.

What makes the customer even more satisfied is that if there is any problem, he can communicate directly with Fang Guofei. Fang Guofei will not shirk the blame and can solve the problem quickly. If compensation is due, he will accept the compensation at that time.In this way, customers also like to deal with Fang Guofei. After trying small orders, big orders will come immediately.Fang Guofei's foreign trade company was up and running in no time.

In less than a year, he began to recruit more than [-] people. He also bought a Nissan van and did not hire a driver. He drove it himself. He either drove the car to the factories below or went there in person. Pick up and drop off guests from the airport.
