The leisurely life of a reborn dad

"That's right, it costs 48 yuan per catty. Why don't you price it at 50 yuan per catty? The ordinary kiwi fruit we sell here only costs 6 yuan per catty. The price difference is 8 times. What a sinister boss."

"Sure enough, you can't do business if you don't have a bad heart."

But there are also positive comments. Someone posted a comment: "I have bought their kiwi fruit. It is really delicious. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

"That's right, sister Linlin's kiwi fruit is very nutritious, and supplementing with vitamins is more effective than taking vitamin tablets."

"Those who say it's expensive, I'm afraid you've never bought anything really expensive. I bought a kiwi fruit for 10 yuan a while ago, did you know?"

"Exported kiwis are more expensive. It is normal for some varieties to sell for tens of yuan per pound. They are rare and strange. You will not be able to eat four dishes in a lifetime."

The comment area suddenly became lively.

On the other hand, Cheng Xiaolin, who was doing a live broadcast, didn't care at all.

When the broadcast first started, she couldn't stand it when she saw these people calling her family evil, and threw her cell phone angrily. However, after changing to her fifth cell phone, Cheng Xiaolin was able to maintain a rational and indifferent attitude.

Just say what you want, I will broadcast it anyway.

Just as he was talking, a floating screen suddenly appeared on the mobile phone screen: "Why can't you reward me in this live broadcast room of yours? I also want to give you a rocket?"

Cheng Xiaolin saw a netizen with the online name "I am a fish that can't swim" floating on the screen. One of them cost ten cents. This netizen had more than a dozen floating screens. It was hard for Cheng Xiaolin not to see it.

The rocket mentioned by this netizen costs 1,000 yuan. If it is sold out, Cheng Xiaolin can get 500 yuan.

She smiled and said: "Thanks to the netizen 'I am a fish that can't swim'. Even if I give a reward, I don't need the money. I just want to chat with everyone through this platform and promote our family's products." In the orchard, the kiwi fruit will be ripe soon. If you like it, you can come and play, pick some and take them back to taste."

"By the way, in addition to the 100 acres of orchard, our home also has a sika deer park and a children's park. Those with children at home can also come and play. There is also a 15-hectare park where admission is free."

"If you want to taste specialties, our family also has our own factory, which produces and sells the 'Aimeng Preserved Fruit'. There are countless fun and delicious ones..."

"If you want to eat beef, there is a good one. Our family raises more than 2,000 cows!" Cheng Xiaolin said proudly.

"Damn it, is this showing off your wealth?" a netizen posted.

After Cheng Xiaolin saw it, she explained seriously: "No, I just told this netizen that there is really no need to tip me. If anyone wants to come over to play with us, my husband and I will also warmly welcome you. When the time comes, we will broadcast in the live broadcast room If my brothers and sisters come over, my husband and I will treat them all to dinner."

"Sister Linlin is domineering!" Someone who knew Cheng Xiaolin also posted a message.

"Sister Linlin, I'll go."

She was a fan who Cheng Xiaolin had followed when she posted original videos from other platforms. When she learned that the owner of the account 'Mengmeng Orchard' was going to start a live broadcast and have an online meeting with fans, she was very happy and kept following her.

After Cheng Xiaolin saw it, she also expressed her gratitude.

When Cao Shujie came up from the mountain, he saw that his wife was wearing a special belt. The end of the selfie stick in her hand was inserted into the belt buckle, and she held the selfie stick with her hand. This was very stable and could save energy.

"Shujie, what are you doing here?" Cheng Xiaolin was quite puzzled when she saw him.

Cao Shujie said: "I just got home, and I happened to have some free time to come up and walk around to see how the kiwi fruits are ripe. Are you still live broadcasting?"

Cheng Xiaolin pointed to her mobile phone and said to her husband excitedly: "Shujie, come and watch. More than 9,000 people are watching my live broadcast. I am very harmful."

The netizens who were watching the live broadcast were stunned by her arrogant look waiting for Cao Shujie to praise her.

Some netizens made a sour comment: "I know you have a husband, so why don't you show off your affection in front of more than 9,000 people like this? Have you ever heard that showing affection will make you die quickly?"

"How can this make me, a single person, embarrassed?"

"Hey, is my brother-in-law here? Get out of the way. Why does my brother-in-law Kangkang look like a bear?"

All kinds of comments from enthusiastic netizens sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, so that the comment area was like a white curtain. Cheng Xiaolin couldn't see clearly what was written. She directly locked the comment content on the floating screen: "Shujie, you Come here quickly, someone wants to see you."

"Let me take a look." Cao Shujie came to his wife's side, put one hand on his wife's shoulder naturally, and helped his wife to get the selfie stick with the other hand. Looking at the intimate appearance of the couple on the phone screen, Cao Shujie He also used the phone screen as a mirror and shook his head back and forth, which seemed pretty cool.

This move made many people in the live broadcast room start to complain about him without reason, but they refused to leave the live broadcast room.

In the upper right corner, there are more than 9,000 people online. I don’t know if it is because of his appearance on the scene, but his popularity has soared. The number of online people in the upper right corner has exceeded 10,000 in a while, and it is still increasing.

It's just that not many people know Cao Shujie in the live broadcast room. Even if a small number of people recognize him and call him "Director Cao" in comments, there are more people complaining about him now, and individual comments are drowned. A lot of screens are being refreshed.

Cao Shujie came to call his wife to go out for dinner. After the two of them appeared in the live broadcast room together, even though their popularity soared, the number of people online also tripled. But Cheng Xiaolin heard her husband say that her mother-in-law had already done it. After a good meal, they were waiting for them to go down the mountain to eat, but they still turned off the live broadcast. The couple came down from the mountain together and walked towards home.

"Shujie, the method you mentioned is really useful." Cheng Xiaolin told him about the effect of the live broadcast in the past few days.

“When I first started my live broadcast, there were only a few hundred people, all of whom were fans watching my videos. Later, the number of people watching my live broadcast increased, but I also spent money to buy a wave of traffic, and in the past two days, I have attracted thousands of people. ”

"I see you had over 10,000 people online just now." Cao Shujie said.

He also thinks his wife is quite talented in this area.

But Cheng Xiaolin said to him: "That was the number of people online at the same time just now. All the number of viewers are counted in the background, and they have exceeded hundreds of thousands."

Cao Shujie helped his wife hold the selfie stick and mobile phone. Cheng Xiaolin flicked her wrist and muttered: "I've been live broadcasting for a long time and I'm exhausted."

"Are you stupid? You can't take a break?" Cao Shujie said to his wife.

Cheng Xiaolin curled her lips and said: "I don't think that my popularity will be easily lost if I broadcast it for a while. I can gain some popularity through live broadcasting for a while, so as to promote our orchards and parks."

When Cao Shujie heard his wife say this, he really didn't know what to say to her.

Finally, I persuaded her: "Honey, you don't have to work so hard. If it's really not possible, just hire two people to live broadcast."

"I haven't found a suitable one yet. If there is a suitable one, I will definitely not do this job." Cheng Xiaolin also knows that she is definitely not as strong as a team alone.

The couple talked and walked down the mountain road. When they returned home, Mengmeng had finished her homework and was playing with her younger brother in the yard.

Wang Yuelan simmered the cooked rice in the pot, and then came to the yard to look at her granddaughter and grandson, fearing that Mengmeng would be careless and throw her brother again.

Seeing her son and daughter-in-law come in, Wang Yuelan picked up her grandson and told them to go inside to have dinner.

"Grandma, sister, let's play." Cao Yirui didn't want to eat yet. He wanted to continue playing with his sister.

But his sister ignored him.

Grandpa Cao Zhenghu is sitting on his official hat chair, drinking frangipani flowers boiled in boiling water.

His appetite is very small now, and he can't eat anything slightly harder. No matter how badly stewed beef or ribs are, he can't eat much, and he digests very slowly after eating.

Instead, it’s better to eat something simple.

He was very happy to see his grandson and granddaughter-in-law coming in, and asked them to sit down and eat quickly.

What Cao Shujie didn't expect was that his mother mentioned something during the meal: "Shujie, I saw that our Caojiazhuang group was talking about your factory making 2 billion in half a year. Is it true?"

When she first saw this number, Wang Yuelan felt that someone was talking nonsense.

She remembered her son saying that Xuemeng Food Factory made less than 2.5 billion last year. How come it almost caught up with last year in half a year?

This was beyond her knowledge and she couldn't understand it at all.

Cao Shujie told his family that Xuemeng Food Factory benefited from the opened market in the first half of this year, and its sales increased by more than 110% year-on-year, but the growth rate in the second half of the year will not be that great.

When Wang Yuelan heard what her son said, she seemed to understand, but Cao Jianguo said, "Shujie, are you saying that the market in the first half of last year was not as big as it is now?"

"Yes, at that time our factory did not have as many customers as it does now, and the sales volume of its products was low. It was normal." Cao Shujie said.

"However, the factory's current market has basically become saturated. Next, we can only delve into a few markets and develop as many customers as possible." Cao Shujie explained the reason.

One of the biggest reasons is market saturation.

After seeing Xuemeng Food Factory's Aimeng Preserved Fruits setting records again and again, smart people in the market saw the profits in this area and began to follow suit.

Although the products they make are not as good as Xuemeng Food Factory's products in terms of quality, taste, and market reputation, the price is much cheaper than Xuemeng Food Factory's products.

This cheap product is selling well online.

There are always some people who buy it. These people also think that the prices of Xuemeng Food Factory's products are too high. They think the products are similar and are more willing to buy cheaper products.

When the number of such inferior products increases, it directly squeezes the market space of Xuemeng Food Factory.

If Wang Shouzhi and the others had not established six regional offices and developed vertically around the regional offices, their sales in the first half of this year would have been at least 10% lower than the current sales of 2 billion.

Cao Shujie knows better than anyone that in the coming years, as the economic environment continues to deteriorate, they will face many problems in the future.

Especially if their product market share shrinks further, it is difficult to say that sales can still be as high as they are now.

This is another reason why he held a separate meeting with department managers this morning.

He can share the best aspects at the all-staff company meeting to keep all employees excited, but he must keep the leaders of each department clear-headed at all times and cannot let them be immersed in the so-called on the list of achievements.

In that case, as the market shrinks further, when many people see that sales continue to shrink and market share drops further, it may also be the beginning of the collapse of Xuemeng Food Factory.

Cao Shujie definitely didn't want this scene to happen, so he vaccinated all the company's managers in advance and told them the worst outcome.

This operation can be described as well-intentioned.

But he didn't say these things during meals at home, and there was no need to create pressure on his parents.

Cheng Xiaolin looked at her husband with some suspicion, always feeling that there was something he hadn't said, but Cheng Xiaolin didn't force her to ask about things that Cao Shujie didn't take the initiative to say.

After dinner, Cao Shujie held his son Cao Yirui in his arms and took his daughter Mengmeng for a walk outside.

His wife Cheng Xiaolin also followed behind.

Perhaps because of the hot weather, many people couldn't stay at home and stood outside talking on the street.

When they saw Cao Shujie and his family coming, they all raised their hands to say hello from a distance.

At this time, many people were chatting about Cao Hongzhao, Cao Jiancheng's son, and Cao Yuting, Cao Shujin's daughter, enrolling in college.

"I heard that the Huazhong Agricultural University that the guy from Jiancheng's family applied to is really awesome. It's also some kind of 211 university."

"Looking at what you said, his daughter is even better at studying in the National University of Defense Technology. Do you understand?"

Just after I filled out my application form, someone I chatted with in the past found out the information.

After Cao Shujie heard this, he also wondered whether the two of them could get into the school they signed up for with a score of 99%.

So how should we celebrate them and set an example to other children in the village?

Let them know that as long as they study hard, they can get a lot of things.

Cheng Xiaolin was also surprised when she heard what these folks said.

"Shujie, it would be great if Yuting could be admitted to the National University of Defense Technology." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Cao Shujie also admitted this.

Cao Shujie was also happy for her final choice to apply for the National University of Defense Technology.

"This is a good thing. The village will definitely reward them heavily." Cao Shujie said to his wife.

Cheng Xiaolin was not interested in that. She told her husband: "I think Xuemeng Food Factory should also give them some rewards."

This really reminded Cao Shujie.

He thought seriously for a while and felt that his wife was right.

"It should be a big reward." Cao Shujie said.

We were not even halfway around Caojiazhuang. We stopped to chat along the way. Before we knew it, our son Cao Yirui fell asleep in Cao Shujie’s arms.

Mengmeng also started to feel sleepy, so they headed home. (End of chapter)
