The world of film and television begins from childhood

"If you really want to listen, then I can talk to you, but in the end it's up to you to make the decision."

"Brother, you speak, and I listen."

Zhou Chen cleared his throat and said, "Whether you make a decision or not depends on your goal. If you just want to be content with a small fortune, then I think you can open a larger wholesale market in the trade city. With your intelligence, means and connections, you will definitely make money. But to be honest, making money is no problem, but if you want to develop too much, it will not be so easy, because if you only do wholesale and get goods from others, it is easy for others to control your lifeline. If there is a slight mistake in the middle, it may cause problems."

"If you want to develop well and make more money, you have to control both production and sales. To put it simply, you can't just buy goods from others. You have to have your own factory so that others won't control your lifeline. You also have to have your own characteristics and brand. Only when others know your brand and recognize your brand, you will have the opportunity to grow and develop."

“Production and branding?”

After listening to Zhou Chen's words, Chen Jianghe fell into deep thought. He had never thought about these two points before. After being reminded by Zhou Chen, he felt as if he had suddenly realized something.

"Second brother, is there anything else?"

"I just gave you some general ideas. The details cannot be explained in a few words. So, let's have dinner together tonight and I will tell you more about it."

Chen Jianghe said happily: "That's great, by the way, let's invite Brother Qiu as well. I haven't seen him for a long time. I heard that Brother Qiu seems to have a daughter too?"

Zhou Chen said: "Well, Yingjie's daughter was born not long ago. He joked with me before that he wanted to arrange a baby marriage with me."

Qiu Yingjie's daughter was born. Just like in the TV series, she was named Qiu Yan. She was a very cute little girl.

Chapter 791 Helping Chen Jianghe, the shameless Luo father

"Haha, Jiang He, you finally decided to come back."

Qiu Yingjie was very happy to see Chen Jianghe and gave him a big hug.

Because of Zhou Chen's help, Qiu Yingjie's performance was very good, so his career was much smoother than in the TV series.

It would not be an exaggeration to describe Qiu Yingjie at this time as being in high spirits.

"Brother Qiu."

Chen Jianghe was also very happy to see Qiu Yingjie. Since he met Qiu Yingjie, they had a very good relationship. Qiu Yingjie also taught him a lot, so he respected Qiu Yingjie very much and truly regarded him as his brother.

The three of them came to the restaurant, and they chatted while drinking. Chen Jianghe began to ask Zhou Chen for advice again. Zhou Chen did not hide anything and shared all his knowledge about the small commodity market.

Chen Jianghe listened very seriously, and Qiu Yingjie also pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Both of them knew Zhou Chen's abilities, and what Zhou Chen said would definitely benefit them a lot.

The meal took a long time, during which Zhou Chen was talking most of the time, while Chen Jianghe and Qiu Yingjie listened.

"Jiang He, I think what Brother Zhou said makes a lot of sense. If you can understand the production process, or master the production ability yourself, you won't be easily controlled by others. If you want to become bigger and stronger, it is very important to have your own brand. Just like now in foreign countries, many people recognize brands, and those big brand products are easier to sell than those small brands or no brand products."

Qiu Yingjie also expressed his own opinion. Although he has been working all these years, he has also been paying attention to various news at home and abroad. In particular, his wife has always been longing for life abroad and often talks about things abroad. He has learned a lot from her.

Chen Jianghe said in embarrassment: "I also think what my second brother said makes sense, but I don't know how to do it. It's not easy to control production, and it's not that easy to control the brand."

Zhou Chen said: "In fact, it is very simple to establish a brand. The difficulty lies in how to make your own brand famous. As for production, I do have a suggestion. It depends on whether you are interested."

Chen Jianghe's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Second brother, you must help me. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

Zhou Chen said: "You may not know much about your sister-in-law. Before, many people called her the socks king. Because at that time, she was the only one in Yiwu who knew where to buy good and cheap socks. So she was the only one who had the source of goods, and naturally no one could sell better than her in this regard."

"The reason I say this is because Yuzhu has a special feeling for that sock factory. I sent someone to investigate before. The performance of that sock factory has been getting worse and worse in the past two years. If nothing unexpected happens, if no one takes over within one or two years, it is very likely to declare bankruptcy."

"If the sock factory really can't hold on, I plan to use my connections to buy it over, but I was in a difficult situation before because I'm just one person after all, and I can't be there to manage it anytime and anywhere. It just so happens that you're back, Jiang He, and you've brought up this matter again, so I have an idea. If you're interested, you can go to the sock factory to check it out and learn about its production. Once I buy it, I'll let you manage it and give you shares."

"Jiang He, what do you think of my proposal? Please think about it carefully."

Chen Jianghe was shocked, and Qiu Yingjie was also very surprised. He knew that Zhou Chen had made a lot of money, but he didn't expect that Zhou Chen would actually buy the state-owned factory as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Brother, are you telling the truth?"

"Do you think I'm making fun of you? I've had this idea for a long time, but the time hasn't come yet, and I haven't found a suitable candidate. You just happened to show up, and I trust you completely, so I told you so much."

Chen Jianghe looked embarrassed and hesitant.

Zhou Chen added: "I didn't ask you to make a decision right away. You can think about it first, or take some time to go to the sock factory and take a look. If you are interested, I will give it to you. If you are not interested, forget it."

Chen Jianghe said solemnly: "Second brother, please give me some time to think about it. I do want to know more about the situation of that sock factory. But to be honest, I am really interested in it after you mentioned it, haha."

"I'm glad you're interested. Anyway, the sock factory hasn't reached the final stage yet. There's still plenty of time. You can think about it carefully. Come on, cheers."

"Cheers." "Cheers."

…………

Chen Jianghe is a practical man. Not long after he finished chatting with Zhou Chen, he went to the sock factory that Zhou Chen mentioned to investigate. Later, because of Chen Jinshui's forced marriage, he finally agreed to Zhou Chen's proposal and decided to go to the sock factory first to understand the situation.

Relying on his diligence and intelligence, Chen Jianghe successfully entered the declining sock factory and became a small employee there.

Not long after, Chen Jianghe called Zhou Chen and said that the situation of the sock factory was indeed as he expected, with very poor performance. It was originally a medium-sized sock factory, but now it has fewer and fewer employees and is almost becoming a small sock factory.

In addition to the reasons mentioned before, Zhou Chen actually had another plan for letting Chen Jianghe go to the sock factory, which was to complete the side quest and Yang Xue's happy life.

In the TV series, Chen Jianghe and Yang Xue can be said to have met at the wrong time. Coupled with Chen Jianghe's personality, it was destined that they would not have a result.

Zhou Chen felt that if he wanted to complete the task, if he let Chen Jianghe and Yang Xue be together, there might be a great chance of completing the task.

If Chen Jianghe, who still has no one in his heart, meets the young and charming Yang Xue in the near future, it is possible that he will fall in love with Yang Xue.

If you want Chen Jianghe and Yang Xue to meet, the sock factory is a good starting point, because Chen Jianghe in the plot met Yang Xue because of the sock factory.

As for now, whether Chen Jianghe can meet Yang Xue again or not, that's all up to fate.

In fact, if Zhou Chen was really determined to bring Chen Jianghe and Yang Xue together, there was another way, which was to use the skills of the god-level matchmaker.

But it hasn't reached that level yet, and he has never liked to use this skill.

In recent days, the area around Yiwu Small Commodities Trade City has been busier than ever before, because just a few days ago, the residential areas surrounding the trade city started selling houses.

Before the construction of the commercial city, although this area of ​​land could not be said to be barren, it was definitely sparsely populated.

However, with the rise of the commercial city, this large area has become bustling. Even the surrounding Chenjia Town is much more lively than in previous years, and the flow of people has increased dramatically.

As soon as the community here was launched, it attracted the attention of most people in Yiwu, because this community was invested and built by Hong Kong people and is a fully modern community.

There are four-story buildings, six-story buildings, low-rise buildings with more than ten floors, and even several villas.

This is definitely a dimensionality reduction blow to the current Yiwu real estate market. Not to mention Yiwu, even in the whole Zhejiang Province, it is impossible to find a community that meets the standards of this community at this time.

The commercial city is already very famous, and with the vigorous promotion by Zhou Chen and the county, Yiwu and many surrounding cities have known about this community. In addition to Yiwu locals who come to see the houses, there are also many people from other places who want to come and see it for themselves.

In more than two years, the residential community was built later than the commercial city, but during such a long time, three buildings have been completed. It’s just that it’s not time for handover yet. However, it’s still okay to use them as model houses for people to see, and Zhou Chen also had someone build several model houses.

In the past few years, houses in China were not allowed to be traded, and this policy is still implemented in some places today.

Therefore, there are very few people like Zhou Chen who put their houses on sale before they are completed, and there are not many even in big cities.

After the launch, the sales office in the community was really crowded. The few sales ladies and managers who were hired had to squeeze in even to drink tea or go to the toilet during work.

Zhou Chen was actually quite tired these days, because those sales people were basically trained by him personally. Mainly because his sales plan was too advanced, and it was not easy for people nowadays to accept it. He needed to explain and teach it over and over again.

Although more than 90% of the people who come to see the house are just for fun, there are also many people who really want to buy a house. However, due to price constraints, not many people can afford it, so the transaction volume can only be described as average.

The reason for this situation is that there are no mortgages yet. If there were mortgages, the number of people buying houses would definitely increase several times.

Zhou Chen had actually discussed the mortgage issue with the local bank, but unfortunately, due to the current environment, he did not reach an agreement. So if he wanted to buy a house, he could only pay the full amount. As a result, naturally fewer people would buy the house.

Nowadays, especially in a small place like Yiwu, there are very few people who can afford to spend several thousand or tens of thousands of yuan to buy a house.

However, Zhou Chen was not in a hurry. Although many people could not afford to buy houses and the housing prices were not high, manpower and material resources were also very cheap. Therefore, it was not a loss for him to develop real estate in the commercial city at this time.

Whether it is the various preferential policies offered by the county or the ability to delay payment of goods, it is a win-win situation for him.

In the community, Zhou Chen also reserved a villa for himself. It is in the best location, but it has not been built yet because he has high requirements. Anyway, he is not in a hurry to move in now. He plans to move in only after all the facilities in the community are complete.

Zhou Chen drove towards home. More than a year had passed, and his son Zhou Tao was already over one year old. He had already started calling "Dad" unconsciously. Now he could call "Dad" accurately and consciously, and could recognize his mother and other people, but he could only say a few simple words.

For example, dad, hug, etc., but I don’t know more than that.

With only a few minutes to go before they get home, Zhou Chen's mood became particularly relaxed.

For a man, having a wife and children waiting for him at home is a very happy thing in itself.

Although Zhou Chen has lived for many lifetimes, he still cannot change this mundane sense of happiness.

While driving, a man suddenly rushed out on the road about ten meters ahead and blocked Zhou Chen's car. Zhou Chen slammed on the brakes and stopped the car three or four meters away from the man.

Zhou Chen was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and his heart was filled with rage. Damn it, it was only because he was looking straight ahead. If he had been distracted for a moment, he would have definitely crashed into it.

"Fuck, you must be sick in the brain."

Seeing the man with his hands open as if he was trying to stop him, Zhou Chen couldn't help but curse, then stopped the car, opened the door and walked out.

"Who are you? Why did you stop my car? If I had accidentally hit you just now, you might not even be alive, you know that?"

Seeing that the other person was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, hunched over and looking sloppy, Zhou Chen directly scolded him coldly.

The middle-aged man didn't care about Zhou Chen's scolding at all. When he saw Zhou Chen coming over, he immediately took two steps forward happily.

"Son-in-law, this is the first time we meet. I am Yuzhu's father and Yuzhu is my daughter."

Zhou Chen, who was furious, froze when he heard this. Then he frowned and looked up and down at the middle-aged man who claimed to be his wife's father.

"You said you are Yuzhu's father, Luo Yuzhu?"

"Yes, yes, it's Luo Yuzhu. I'm her father and she's my biological daughter. Although we've never met, I know you."

Zhou Chen's face suddenly turned cold, and his voice also turned cold: "Luo Yuzhu is my wife now, and you are the one who almost sold my wife. You really have the guts and the nerve to appear in front of me?"

Father Luo quickly explained: "Son-in-law, I really didn't know about that matter. Our family was so poor and miserable at the time, and I had no choice but to let Yuzhu live a good life, so I thought of marrying her off. I negotiated with them about the betrothal money, and Yuzhu was marrying off. I didn't know they were human traffickers. If I knew they were human traffickers, how could I sell Yuzhu to them? She is my biological daughter, how could I bear to let her go?"

As he spoke, he actually squeezed out a few tears, his face full of regret.

But who is Zhou Chen? How could he not see through his disguise? He looked at him expressionlessly.

"Daughter? You are such a fool to say such a thing. You are not worthy of having a daughter, let alone a daughter like Yuzhu. I don't know why you are trying to stop me today, but I can tell you that no matter what your purpose is, you will never get through me."

"I advise you to get out of my sight as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to help but hit you with my car."

After saying that, Zhou Chen ignored him, turned around, got into the car and started the car.

Luo's father, who was pretending to be regretful, ran after him with a nervous look on his face and grabbed Zhou Chen's car door with both hands when he saw Zhou Chen was about to leave.

"Son-in-law, good son-in-law, please don't leave. Please don't leave yet. I really have no other choice, so I came to you. Yuzhu doesn't know that I came to you, and I dare not let her know. Good son-in-law, please listen to me first, please listen to me first."

Hearing Luo's father calling him "good son-in-law" over and over again, Zhou Chen felt his scalp tingling and he felt extremely nauseous.

Pushing Father Luo away, Zhou Chen said coldly: "I don't want to listen to your nonsense, get out of here."

Then he stepped on the accelerator and disappeared in front of Luo's father.

Father Luo watched the car leave and spat on the ground in dissatisfaction.

"Bah, what kind of person is this? How could Yuzhu find such a man? He has no respect for me, his father-in-law, at all. He is so uneducated."

He cursed a few words, and then his face fell again. He came to Zhou Chen to ask for money, but Zhou Chen did not even give him a chance to speak. Such indifference directly disrupted his wishful thinking.

Before Zhou Chen drove into the yard, he calmed down and a smile appeared on his face again.

As soon as his car entered the yard, he saw a little kid staggering out of the house, babbling and waving his hands, trying to rush over.

Behind Xiaobudian was a beautiful woman, who was Zhou Chen’s wife Luo Yuzhu, and Xiaobudian was Zhou Chen’s son Zhou Tao.

Zhou Chen quickly got out of the car, walked quickly towards his son, then grabbed him with both hands, picked him up and held him above his head.

"My dear son, do you miss your daddy?"

"Dad, dad, dad..."

Zhou Tao kept cheering with a smile on his face. His favorite game was the lift-up game. He was very happy every time he was lifted up.

Chapter 792 Angry Yuzhu, two years later

Luo Yuzhu looked at the harmonious scene between father and son, and a happy smile spread across her face.

Her childhood experiences made her want to have a home of her own. Since she married Zhou Chen, her wish has come true.

The appearance of her son Zhou Tao made the family even more perfect, and she felt extremely happy.

In the past, she would blame God for letting her meet such a father. Fortunately, she has a mother who treats her very well, otherwise, she might not have lived that long.

But now, she is very grateful to God for letting her meet Zhou Chen, giving her such a smart and lovely son, and this happy and happy family.

Zhou Chen held his son high, played with him for a while, then walked towards Luo Yuzhu with him in his arms.

"Is the little one well behaved at home today?"
