The leisurely life of a reborn dad

He stayed in the factory until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. With nothing else to do, Cao Shujie packed up his things and went home early.

At home, when Cao Shujie came back, his mother Wang Yuelan had already brought Mengmeng back, and the little guy was practicing boxing with an inflatable sandbag in the yard.

As soon as Cao Shujie entered the door, Mengmeng ran over happily: "Dad, I have a younger brother and sister, hehe."

"How do you know if he's a younger brother? Or a younger sister?" Cao Shujie asked her.

But Mengmeng said confidently: "I don't know, my mother said it."

Upon hearing his daughter's unreasonable answer, Cao Shujie picked her up and walked into the house together: "Mengmeng, tell me, is he a younger brother or a younger sister?"

It is said that when a child looks at an unborn child, the predictions are generally correct.

Cao Shujie didn't really care whether it was a boy or a girl, he was just curious.

But Mengmeng didn't follow the normal routine. She shook her head in confusion: "I don't know either."

Cao Shujie asked in vain.

When he came into the house, his wife was sitting in the living room. There was a fruit plate on the coffee table in front of her. In the fruit plate were cut fruits, peeled and cored.

There is also a glass of freshly squeezed juice on the side.

Wang Yuelan brought out another bowl of soup from the kitchen: "Linlin, the chicken soup has just been boiled. Drink it while it's hot. It's good for your body."

Cheng Xiaolin felt bitter: "Mom, you don't have to do this, I know it myself."

"ah……"

Wang Yuelan also wanted to talk about the truth she knew, but she stopped before she could say anything: "Okay, let me know when you want to drink, and I will make it for you again."

Seeing her son Cao Shujie back, Wang Yuelan called him: "Shujie, please turn on the heater. It's cold. Don't freeze Linlin."

Cao Shujie turned around and carried Mengmeng out again.

Mengmeng curled her lips in her father's arms: "Dad, I was lucky to have run fast just now, otherwise grandma would have asked me to drink chicken soup, which would have no taste at all, and I wouldn't be able to drink it."

Cao Shujie laughed.

Burning a heating boiler is a laborious job. Shovel after shovel of coal is shoveled into the furnace. After being ignited, you can watch the orange-red fireworks and the water in the boiler gradually heat up.

After the water reached a certain temperature, the water began to circulate. Cao Shujie set the temperature of the radiator to stabilize the fire, and then he and Mengmeng exited together.

When I returned to the house, the temperature in the room slowly rose.

Mengmeng felt hot and was about to take off her coat, but Wang Yuelan stopped her: "Mengmeng, you just came in from outside. You can't take off your clothes so quickly. You can take them off later."

"Oh." Mengmeng responded.

Cheng Xiaolin asked him: "Shujie, why did you come back so early today?"

Cao Shujie told him that there was nothing going on in the factory, so he came back early.

"No, tomorrow is the Taobao Double 11 promotion. I remember that your factory is also participating in the Double 11 promotion. Why don't you pay attention?" Cheng Xiaolin felt that her husband was a little distracted from business.

"You can't let me do everything myself. The Sales Department Manager Guan and Director Chen are responsible for Double 11."

"Besides, this is the first time this year. The preparations are a bit hasty, so don't have high expectations." Cao Shujie told his wife.

But Cheng Xiaolin disagreed: "Shujie, you are wrong to think so. We also placed a lot of advertisements on online social platforms in the early stage. You also sponsored advertisements on "Running Brothers". Now this variety show is broadcast on the Internet The volume is very high, and I think what we do in terms of promotion is no worse than other brands. You can’t belittle yourself just because we are a new product.”

Cao Shujie was lectured by his wife and didn't care: "Honey, you're right, I'll call Manager Guan and Director Chen and tell them to go all out and get good results for me. "

Cheng Xiaolin: "..."

Too lazy to talk to her husband, you can see with the naked eye how perfunctory her husband is at the moment.

"Shujie, you have the wrong mentality. Even if it really doesn't work, you still have to fight for it. To put it bluntly, the Taobao platform is a large traffic pool. There is only so much traffic in the pool. If you sell your things well, the platform will make more money. Only in the future can the platform Give you more traffic.”

"If you don't pay attention to it, your sales will remain the same, and the platform will not pay attention to you, let alone tilt the traffic to you. Am I right?" Cheng Xiaolin started uploading videos on Youku and now, as a big V in the original video section As a podcaster, her understanding of Internet traffic is far beyond that of Cao Shujie.

Cao Shujie didn't pay attention at first, but after hearing what his wife said, he was quiet for a while.

A few minutes later, Cao Shujie came back to his senses: "Okay, what you said makes sense. I'm going to call Manager Guan and Director Chen now. Even if I swipe orders, I have to increase sales."

"..."

Cheng Xiaolin didn't want to speak.

Sometimes I think about her husband’s really flexible mind, it just depends on whether he wants to do it or not.

As for the matter of swiping orders, Cheng Xiaolin never thought that this would be the fastest way to achieve results.

Of course, if Xuemeng Food Factory’s dozen or so online stores have already achieved high sales, it won’t matter whether they use them or not.

But if the sales volume is not surprising, there is no harm in brushing it up a little.

In his previous life, Cao Shujie didn't pay much attention to promotional activities on Internet platforms like Double 11, and he didn't know much about its operating mechanism, but he knew that some principles were interoperable in any field, just like what his wife just said, The strong always stay strong.

When the Taobao platform conducts Double 11 promotions, it will definitely find ways to express the traffic on this day in the form of transaction volume.

Therefore, at critical moments, Taobao platform will also play some tricks.

Cao Shujie thought about it in his mind, and didn't even bother to eat dinner. He went directly to the second floor to call Guan Boyong and Chen Hong respectively.

Guan Boyong received a call from Cao Shujie and listened to the boss personally instructing on the phone how to handle the Double 11 promotion that started tonight, striving to increase sales this time.

He sighed inwardly that the boss did not put more pressure on them during the day and even encouraged them. Sure enough, he did not really give up on Double 11.

On the contrary, from the various instructions just given, I can feel that the boss attaches great importance to it.

Chen Hong had the same thought after answering her boss Cao Shujie's phone number.

And because of Cao Shujie's attention, Chen Hong was full of passion for the Double 11 promotion festival and prepared to do a big job.

Everyone in the online sales department stayed here today and worked overtime all night, starting at 12 o'clock in the morning.

Food and drink had been prepared in advance, and sales manager Guan Boyong assured her that the logistics would be in place.

After putting down the phone, Chen Hong held a meeting with all employees in the online sales department and conveyed the boss's latest instructions.

"Everyone, the boss said that no matter what the means, we must achieve results." Chen Hong said.

This also represents Cao Shujie's attitude.

The employees in the online sales department are also very motivated. They feel that although the boss is not around, he has been paying attention to them, and they must achieve results.

"The decisive battle must be won!"

In the office area of ​​the online sales department, a very young employee made a declaration that he was a sophomore, which instantly destroyed the serious atmosphere in the office area, and everyone suddenly felt relaxed.

Everyone laughed and looked at each other, and then shouted in unison: "Come on!"

Guan Boyong passed by the door of the office area and heard the sounds coming from inside. The smile on his face became much lighter.

"Work hard!" Guan Boyong whispered.

…

At night, Cao Shujie lay on the bed, thinking about what his wife said, and couldn't sleep.

His competitive spirit is actually very strong. It can be seen from the overtime work, research and development, and work in his previous life. He is not just a student, he is forced by life.

The so-called high income is just to maintain life.

Cao Shujie is also very strong in this life.

But suddenly hearing the good news that his wife was pregnant again made Cao Shujie divert his attention.

But Cheng Xiaolin's words made him understand that some things still needed to be done.

Just as he was thinking about it, his wife's voice came from beside him: "If you can't sleep, go get busy. I'm fine now and I haven't reacted much."

"Then I'll go." Cao Shujie said to his wife.

Cheng Xiaolin wanted to laugh, but she could feel her husband's concern in her heart: "Go ahead, we have our mother at home. You don't have to come back in a hurry. We'll talk about it after you finish your work."

"Hey, that's okay. After I finish this work, I'll come back to accompany you." Cao Shujie got up and got dressed and prepared to go out.

Before leaving, he leaned down again and reached out to touch his wife's forehead: "You go to bed early, I'm leaving."

"Xiong Xiang, I've never seen you care so much about me." Cheng Xiaolin wanted to laugh.

Watching her husband gently close the door and go out, Cheng Xiaolin felt full of happiness.

Who doesn't want to have a happy marriage? She also wants to be a pampered princess in fairy tales. Obviously, she is now.

Although there is no gorgeous castle, no delicacies from the mountains and seas, and rich food and clothing every day, their living conditions are not bad.

Cheng Xiaolin felt that being in the countryside was more carefree and made her feel more relaxed.

"That's great!" Cheng Xiaolin closed her eyes and fell asleep soon.

…

Let's say that when Cao Shujie came out of home, a gust of cold wind blew. He subconsciously tightened his tight clothes, opened the door and got in the car. After heating the car, Cao Shujie drove towards the factory in the town.

By this time, it was already past 10 pm.

There was not much to do in the countryside, most people had turned off their lights and were asleep.

There are many families with dogs in the countryside, and the cars driving by caused a lot of barking.

Cao Shujie did not stop, but stepped on the accelerator until he reached the Xuemeng Food Factory in the town.

The security guard at the door didn't expect the boss to come to the factory so late.

He quickly opened the door and let the boss in. He was also wondering why the boss came so late.

Cao Shujie stopped the car and walked directly towards the office building.

At this time, the west area on the second floor of the office building was brightly lit.

Cao Shujie knew that that was the area where the sales department and online sales department worked.

Thinking that all the employees inside had not gone home at this time and were burning the midnight oil, he looked so indifferent during the day. He was really ashamed.

Arriving on the second floor, Cao Shujie stood outside the glass door of the west office area. Seeing people walking back and forth inside, he opened the door and went in.

The employees who were preparing inside did not expect that the boss would come at this time, and they were stunned for a while.

It wasn't until an employee greeted Cao Shujie and called him boss that the others came to their senses and started calling him boss.

Chen Hong, the director of the online sales department, also heard the noise and came out of the office. When she saw Cao Shujie standing at the door of their office area, Chen Hong thought she was being deceived.

"Boss, why did you come to this point?" Chen Hong asked subconsciously.

After she said the words, she regretted that she shouldn't have asked her boss like this.

Cao Shujie didn't care. He said, "I'll come over and see how everything is prepared. If you have any questions, tell me and I'll arrange for someone to solve them."

"Okay, thank you boss for your concern!" Chen Hong said.

Sales manager Guan Boyong also heard the noise and came out of the office. When he saw Cao Shujie coming, he followed and said hello.

He didn't expect that Cao Shujie could come here at this point.

And this just shows that Cao Shujie attaches great importance to this Double 11 promotion.

Cao Shujie called Guan Boyong and Chen Hong into Guan Boyong's office. He said, "How is it? Are you all ready?"

Seeing the two men nodding, Cao Shujie stopped asking them about their specific work arrangements. He just said: "Can you contact Shuijun, who is responsible for network traffic operations? If necessary, if the sales volume of our store is too poor, we can also You can spend some money to run it.”

He said it euphemistically, but Guan Boyong and Chen Hong both understood that the so-called online sales platform operation was just brushing orders.

Unexpectedly, the boss's attitude was so firm. Guan Boyong and Chen Hong both nodded. Chen Hong said: "Some online business operation studios have contacted me on weekdays. I can contact them if necessary."

"But for now, I think our company's sales are still okay. In addition, "Running Brothers" has brought a lot of help to our company's sales. I don't think the problem is big." Chen Hong said this of.

Cao Shujie believes in her professionalism.

"Okay, just watch and do special things when necessary. You don't need to report this to me anymore," Cao Shujie said.

Guan Boyong and Chen Hong nodded almost simultaneously.

Chen Hong went out to be busy again.

Cao Shujie and Guan Boyong were chatting in the office.

Guan Boyong could see the unconcealed joy on the boss's face. He was curious about what happy event had happened to the boss.

After repeated mental hesitation, Guan Boyong finally did not ask.

If it's the boss's personal matter again, it's not good for him to ask too many questions.

Time continues to move forward.

Since 2009, Taobao platform has started to carry out Double 11 promotion activities.

As of this year, it is already the fifth edition.

In the first four editions, the transaction volume ranged from 50 million yuan in a single day in 2009 to 35.2 billion yuan last year. The Taobao platform has also figured out a set of their platform operating rules.

Moreover, the parent company Alibaba has just been listed on Nasdaq this year. At this time, it is eager to make some achievements and revive the stock price that quickly fell below the issue price after listing.

Activities like Double 11 are particularly important.

The turnover in a single day is tens of billions. This number can greatly stimulate the market's hype.

But those things are too far away from Cao Shujie, and he has not thought about buying Alibaba stocks. In his opinion, the secondary capital market he is currently investing in is enough for him, and he does not have so much energy to pay attention to too many stocks. thing.

…

Before I knew it, it was already early morning.

Cao Shujie was a little sleepy at first, so he directly washed his face with the cold water he had just received. Stimulated by the cold and biting water, Cao Shujie woke up instantly.

here we go!
