On the first day of the new year, Zhou Ming woke up to the sound of firecrackers throughout the factory. This is a traditional habit of Chinese people. In later generations, firecrackers were banned in urban areas, so Zhou Ming did not open the door for a long time on the morning of the first day of the new year.

Shot.

After getting up and having breakfast at home, his parents were busy preparing gifts and going out to pay New Year greetings. This was also the family's habit in previous years, but this year the situation was completely different. At eight o'clock in the morning, when Zhou Ming's parents were preparing to go out, they saw

Sales director Yuan Zhigang brought his family over to pay New Year greetings.

Happy New Year to old Zhou, happy New Year to Boss Zhou.

As soon as Yuan Zhigang entered the door, he greeted Zhou Ming and his parents attentively. Zhou Ming and his parents said thank you while also saying hello to Yuan Zhigang and his family. His father also went to the door and set off a small firecracker to show his appreciation for the New Year greetings.

respect.

Yuan Zhigang is a very smart man. When he came, he saw that Zhou Ming and his parents were preparing to go out, so he did not plan to stay at Zhou Ming's house for too long. However, Yuan Zhigang had not been sitting for twenty minutes. The director of the factory's production department

Li Hua's family came to visit us again to pay New Year greetings.

Seeing Li Hua coming, Yuan Zhigang got the idea and left. Zhou Ming's father went out again and set off a firecracker.

Like Yuan Zhigang before him, Li Hua didn't originally plan to stay at Zhou Ming's house for long, but before he had time to leave, the next wave of New Year greetings arrived.

In this way, on the first day, all the cadres in the factory, including the most prestigious old factory director Wang Chunhua, took turns coming to Zhou Ming's house to pay New Year's greetings. Zhou Ming could not remember exactly how many people there were, but what Zhou Ming could remember was that in the morning

Before eleven o'clock, all the firecrackers at home were set off, so I had to borrow a lot of firecrackers from my neighbor.

After almost all the acquaintances came here in the afternoon, you could see a bright red carpet at the door, as if it was covered with firecrackers.

In fact, if he were a factory leader, he would not set off so many firecrackers even if there were so many guests at home. But after all, Zhou Ming's parents were just ordinary workers in the factory with very simple personalities, even if they suddenly became

The owners of the factory still couldn't change their mind, and they didn't know what to do. When they saw so many factory officials coming to pay New Year's greetings, the first reaction of the two elders was naturally to entertain them.

The rules in the factory are that you cannot sweep in front of the door in the early years of the new year, otherwise it will be unlucky. At night, Wang Fengqin looked at the red at the door and said with emotion: "Zhou Ming, you are really promising. In previous years, your father and I would go out."

When we go to relatives to pay New Year greetings, we are not qualified to enter the homes of these leaders. Unexpectedly, such big changes have occurred this year. In previous years, leaders who were not qualified to visit their homes actually took the initiative to pay us New Year greetings.

Mom, in fact, our family is no worse than anyone else. Aren't you and my dad usually very respected by the people in the factory? I was able to buy the 760 factory so smoothly. You and my dad are also great, Zhou Ming said.

Just coax me, Wang Fengqin said. If your father and I had been factory directors long ago, as you said, it would be your turn to spend money to buy this factory.

At this point, Wang Fengqin suddenly remembered and asked: Zhou Ming Today, everyone is saying that our sponsorship of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala is very good, but it will cost a lot of money to sponsor this for an organization like CCTV.

Mom, you don’t have to worry about this. Your son is known as a big capitalist outside. I will definitely not do business at a loss, but some sacrifices are necessary. Otherwise, why is there a saying that you can’t bear to leave your children?

If you are not looking for a wolf, Zhou Ming explained.

That's true. I hope your rice-treasure porridge product is really popular. I heard that the rice-treasure porridge production workshop worked overtime to make a lot of it. If it were distributed to all factory workers, it would take a long time.

Wang Fengqin said.

No, mom, didn't you and Xiaohan go to worship the Bodhisattva before? I believe the Bodhisattva will definitely bless me and make money, said Zhou Ming.

These words made Wang Fengqin dumbfounded: I wish you and your father to be safe and sound. You will live a safe and healthy life. And how can you worship Bodhisattva by making money? Stop saying that. If Bodhisattva knows that you say this, he will definitely

I'm going to come down and teach you a lesson

But I don’t know if the Bodhisattva in heaven really heard it or something. After Zhou Ming and his mother had finished talking for a while, a thin worker hurriedly ran towards Zhou Ming’s house. This man Zhou Ming

I know that he was Zhang Jianguo, the worker who first stood up and believed in Zhou Ming when he was engaged in wage reform.

Zhou Ming said Happy New Year to him, and then asked: What happened in the factory?

Every Spring Festival, the factory has to arrange someone on duty. This year, Zhang Jianguo was assigned to be on duty during the Spring Festival, so Zhou Ming asked him this question. Zhang Jianguo also said Happy New Year to Zhou Ming and Wang Fengqin, and then replied: Boss Zhou, I just took the call.

I got a call from Yanjing and said that the first batch of eight-treasure porridge we shipped there had been sold out, and now we were asked to send the second batch there urgently.

That's great. Zhou Ming said, "Mom, let's just say we don't need all the workers in the factory to destroy the eight-treasure porridge. The Bodhisattva will bless us."

At this time, Wang Fengqin could only say that she was right. Although Zhou Ming's words still felt disrespectful to the Bodhisattva, Wang Fengqin was even more happy that the eight-treasure porridge in the factory was selling well and that her son could make more money.

Then please first inform Director Yuan Zhigang of the Sales Department, Director Li Hua of the Production Department and Director Sun Jie of the office, and ask them to come to the factory for a meeting immediately.

Zhou Ming told Zhang Jianguo, Zhang Jianguo nodded and said yes, and immediately ran in the direction of the cadres' homes. At this time, the pager on Zhou Ming's waist suddenly rang. It was a pager from Du Peng. For convenience, Zhou Ming

When he bought a TV and a refrigerator two years ago, he also installed a phone at home. Therefore, after receiving Du Peng's page, Zhou Ming immediately went home and dialed the phone back for him.

As soon as the call was connected, Du Peng's excited voice came over immediately: "Zhou Ming, you don't have to be too evil, you can do this to you with a piece of eight-treasure porridge."

Zhou Ming put the receiver slightly away from his ear: Du Peng, can you please stop being startled? As a third-generation red man, you must learn to be calm.

Du Peng laughed and said: I don't have as good a mental quality as you. I can be so calm in front of Mr. Yang, and I can still present facts and reason to Mr. Yang. You know your eight-treasure porridge is now in Yanjing.

How hot is Bian?

The popular eight-treasure porridge should be sold in the capital today, Zhou Ming said.

What happened to the sales the next day? Just blame the exclusive title you made for the CCTV Spring Festival Gala yesterday. It was enough to make rice pudding extremely popular, Du Peng said.

Later, Du Peng briefly explained the situation of eight-treasure porridge to Zhou Ming in Yanjing. In fact, today is the first day of the New Year, most people are paying New Year greetings, and many shops on the street are not open. Du Peng

Peng didn't pay much attention to the rice-treasure porridge, but what happened next made it difficult for him not to pay attention.

The history is almost exactly the same as in the previous life. After Dong Zhen was dismissed, Du Peng's grandfather was elected as the president of the country.

Du Zhong originally had a high status in the Central Committee, and he made great contributions in the last large-scale spy incident. Now that he was elected Chairman, his prestige in the Central Committee has surpassed that of Mr. Yang.

It is precisely because of this that today, the first day of the Lunar New Year, many people came to his home to pay New Year's greetings. Those who paid New Year's greetings also brought many gifts. This is a normal thing. But what surprised Du Peng was that some people came to pay New Year's greetings in previous years.

, most of the things he brought were tobacco and alcohol. This year, a lot of people brought gift boxes of rice-treasure porridge, which made him take notice.

Later, after Du Peng asked, he found out that they were all influenced by the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. In less than a day, all the eight-treasure porridge in the capital was sold out.

No, it's so popular. Zhou Ming asked in surprise. Although Zhou Ming already knew that the CCTV Spring Festival Gala was very influential before being the exclusive sponsor, this situation was too explosive. Straightforward people couldn't believe it. But what happened next?

Du Peng's words are even more surprising.

That must be very popular. Du Peng said, Zhou Ming, you don't know, now your advertising slogan has become a jingle that people talk about. Why does lotus seed bring health? Longan brings nutrition. Longan, lotus seed and eight-treasure porridge is delicious and nutritious.

I don’t know how many times I’ve heard this saying that I won’t accept gifts during the Chinese New Year this year, but only eight-treasure porridge. I really don’t know how Zhou Ming, your guy, has such a long head, you can come up with something so nice and easy to remember.

Advertising, I met several producers from the movie city today, and they all praised you for being very creative.

This answer made Zhou Ming have no choice but to smile bitterly. In fact, he originally came up with these advertising slogans just because of a whim. After all, advertising in this era was not as developed as later generations. Advertisements in this era looked more like incomprehensible documentaries, so Zhou Ming

Ming added a few advertising slogans that he would still remember in later generations, but he did not expect such an effect.

So this is why Du Peng, your family received a bunch of eight-treasure porridge on the first day of New Year greetings. Zhou Ming asked.

Why don't you go out to pay New Year greetings now, especially to the leaders? If you can't lift a bag of rice-treasure porridge in your hand, you will be embarrassed to come. I asked, and now even if the rice-treasure porridge sells for 20 yuan a can, there are still people buying it. Du Peng said

.

Well, this eight-treasure porridge will one day become a luxury product. Zhou Ming said with a smile.

I regret it now. If I had known that I would have got Shaqima out before the Spring Festival and put it on the market together with Zhou Ming's eight-treasure porridge, I might have made a lot of money during the Spring Festival. Now I regret it so much.

Du Peng said sadly.

Zhou Ming laughed. Zhou Ming knew about this. Zhou Ming did mention it in front of Du Peng, and Du Peng was indeed interested. However, it is not that simple to really pull up a company, and years ago

There were also some things in his family that he couldn't get rid of, so he put this matter aside. Now that Du Peng thinks about it, he really regrets it.
