~7 min read 1,317 words

"Come, come, come, time to eat."

Zhao Ping brought two plates of dumplings and placed them on the table. Jian Qiu held the garlic and soy sauce, and Jian Yue brought two plates of cold dishes.

"Eat, eat!"

Jian Zhengrong felt that if he didn't eat now, he really couldn't guarantee whether he would take a knife and chop this little brat up.

Zhou Andong blinked. He could endure this? Was Old Jian's temper that good? His face was dark with anger, yet he didn't flare up.

"Dongzi, come over and eat quickly."

Zhao Ping greeted Zhou Andong, turned around, and went back into the kitchen, then brought out a bottle of Yugong wine.

"I bought this specially. You and your Uncle have a drink."

"I'm not feeling very well, so I won't drink." Jian Zhengrong picked up a dumpling and took a fierce bite.

"Uncle!" Zhou Andong held the wine glass and poured a cup for Jian Zhengrong. "The wine from our factory is all brewed from pure grain. It doesn't go to your head after drinking, and it promotes blood circulation, removes blood stasis, dispels cold, and warms the stomach. As long as you don't overindulge, drinking a little every day is good for your health."

Zhou Andong chattered on and poured a cup for himself as well. "We won't drink too much, just this one cup."

Jian Zhengrong looked at the wine glass in front of him, then at Zhou Andong's sincere face, and suddenly became a bit confused. He didn't know whether he should be angry or not.

Jian Zhengrong ate this meal without any taste, and the wine went into his stomach without any feeling.

After finishing the meal, it was already nine o'clock. Zhou Andong said, "Uncle, Aunt, it's too late, we're going back."

"Alright!" Zhao Ping saw Zhou Andong to the door. "When you have time, come over with Qiuqiu. Whatever you want to eat, Aunt will make it for you."

Zhou Andong leaned against the doorway and waved at Jian Zhengrong, who was sitting on the sofa without moving. "Uncle, I'm leaving. In a while, I'll go to Dongguan."

Jian Zhengrong was holding the TV remote control. As soon as Zhou Andong spoke, the TV turned on. I don't know if Old Jian did it on purpose, but anyway, he acted as if he hadn't heard and didn't even look at Zhou Andong.

Zhou Andong didn't care. He left with Jian Qiu and Jian Yue, while Jian Mingfan sneaked back to his room, slowly closed the door, then patted his chest and threw himself onto the bed.

"Heh, finally I can lie on my own bed to sleep."

………………

"Xiaoyue, are you going home or to Grandpa's?"

After going downstairs, Jian Qiu opened the car door and asked Jian Yue.

Jian Yue asked, "Where are you staying?"

Jian Qiu said, "We are at the hotel opposite the Military Region General Hospital."

"Let's go!" Jian Yue opened the passenger door. "I'll go to the hotel to make do for the night too."

The three of them got into the car. Zhou Andong said with great emotion, "Uncle's temper is still quite good. I angered him so much and he didn't flare up."

"That's not a good temper, that's called self-restraint." Jian Qiu rolled her eyes at Zhou Andong. "Who's like you, with absolutely no quality."

"Fart on self-restraint." Zhou Andong curled his lip. "He's afraid of offending me and that I'll give up on investing in Dongguan. Believe it or not, if RT-Mart had already landed in Dongguan, not to mention anything else, just based on the fact that I'm his niece's husband, he would beat me up without hesitation."

"Pfft!" Jian Yue laughed in the front. "Brother-in-law, so you're relying on the investment to dare to offend Uncle to death?"

"What do you think?" Zhou Andong said. "If it weren't for the fact that he wants to pull me into investing and has concerns, just based on the identity of being his niece's husband, if he really beat me up, I could only endure it."

"Old and cunning!" Jian Yue scolded with a smile.

………………

August 22, 1993, the fifth day of the seventh lunar month, Sunday!

At RT-Mart, at ten in the morning, Zhou Andong and Yu Shiming signed a supply contract, clearly stipulating the supply prices for the Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year benefit activities.

And Zhou Andong had to provide an effective marketing plan to help Arowana open up the Chinese market. If the marketing plan was ineffective, RT-Mart would have to return the discounted portion of the money.

"Chairman Zhou!" Yu Shiming put away the contract and shook hands with Zhou Andong. "When can you give us the marketing plan?"

Zhou Andong shook his head. "There is no marketing plan."

Yu Shiming was stunned, and his face changed immediately, but he didn't speak.

Zhou Andong smiled. "You just need to report to the headquarters that our Chinese enterprises and public institutions have a tradition of distributing benefits to employees every Spring Festival."

At first, Yu Shiming didn't understand. "What do you mean?"

Zhou Andong patted him on the shoulder. "You just need to report my words to the headquarters."

Cooperating with domestic enterprises and public institutions to open up the domestic small-package oil market in the form of distributing benefits was originally a marketing plan implemented by Arowana after investigation and research.

Yesterday, Zhou Andong sold it to Jiusan and got considerable benefits. Today he sold it to Arowana again and got a discount for the Mid-Autumn and New Year promotions.

Anyway, even if he didn't sell it, Arowana would implement this plan next year. It wouldn't even take until next year; by the end of this year, Jiusan would have opened this Pandora's box in advance, and Arowana couldn't remain indifferent after seeing it.

At this time, Yu Shiming had gradually figured it out, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Andong became somewhat fanatical.

"Chairman Zhou, you are absolutely the most powerful marketing master, without one."

"You flatter me." Zhou Andong waved his hand modestly. "Marketing, to put it bluntly, is positioning the product's target audience, price, selling point, etc. As long as it is positioned accurately, product sales will be invincible."

"It sounds simple, but how easy is it to do?" Yu Shiming shook his head slightly. "The headquarters has great confidence in small-package oil, but it only sold 20,000 tons in two years, which already explains the problem."

"Are you interested in coming to work at RT-Mart?"

Zhou Andong's sudden poaching made Yu Shiming somewhat stunned, but he reacted immediately, and his heart did move.

"Chairman Zhou, are you not joking?"

Zhou Andong said very seriously, "I wouldn't joke about such things."

Yu Shiming could serve as the person in charge of the Beijing office; his ability was definitely beyond doubt.

RT-Mart was very short of people, so Zhou Andong poached him on the spur of the moment.

As for whether Yu Shiming would agree, it didn't matter to Zhou Andong.

Anyway, it was just taking a shot; if he could come, it would be better, and if he couldn't, nothing would be lost.

Yu Shiming was silent for a long while before saying, "Give me time to consider."

There's a chance. Zhou Andong shook hands with Yu Shiming.

"I can guarantee you that you won't regret coming to RT-Mart. In the future, you will definitely feel lucky and proud of choosing RT-Mart."

Yu Shiming nodded. "I will consider it carefully."

The two chatted for another sentence, and Yu Shiming left in a hurry. He had to report to the headquarters as soon as possible.

After all, he hadn't jumped ship to RT-Mart yet; he was still the person in charge of Arowana's Beijing office.

"Let's go too!" Zhou Andong stretched. "Let's go see the radiator factory."
