Wang Changning's mother was right. For Feng Zhenchang and Mei Qiuping, although they were still young, they did care about what the villagers thought of them.
Although they don't know exactly how much money their son has, and although they all say vaguely when the villagers ask, don't look like it's a big scene, in fact, they've borrowed a lot of loans and so on, the impression they give outsiders is that it's a top-notch achievement, that is, tens of millions of dollars – this has already made everyone exclaim in amazement!
But they know clearly in their hearts, just look at that hotel, and then look at the fact that they don't have a penny in loans in the bank, and they have a rough idea in their hearts that their son, who is still at school, already has hundreds of millions of wealth, hundreds of millions!
Such a figure is beyond their wildest dreams. Even the people in the village who earn high incomes, such as those who run noodle shops, only make a hundred thousand yuan at most in a year. How many years would it take to earn a hundred million yuan? Nearly a thousand years!
Mei Qiuping sometimes quantifies things in concrete terms. For example, the most expensive electrical appliance in the house is the TV, which cost 2,300 yuan. How many would it take to buy a hundred million yuan worth? Over 40,000! You could give one to each family in the surrounding villages.
If we just take the most expensive item in the house, the Century car, we can also buy more than 300 of them! How long would it be if you lined up more than 300 cars? It would be for miles!
Besides, no matter how you look at it, your son is worth more than 100 million.
And then there are all those companies in the family, how many families here in the village have been given the opportunity to work?
With such wealth, of course they cherish their feathers even more. I proposed letting the people in the village join forces to open a noodle restaurant for free, and I mentioned that we should be on our guard against these guys who have a problem when they get a little money.
As the saying goes in the countryside, it's better to demolish ten temples than to break up one marriage. If they bring back ten couples but only eight and a half when they go back, they won't feel good about it.
Besides, nowadays, noodle shops are not what they used to be. There aren't as many people coming to ask to join the business every month. As the son said, they can just sit back and collect the money. If this good thing is ruined by those few troublesome people, who would be happy? Now, although there is a lot of money, who doesn't like a lot of money?
As soon as the two people with their hearts full of worries returned to the provincial capital, Feng Zhenchang was eager to find and read the contracts he had signed earlier. Mei Qiuping, on the other hand, told Feng Yuxuan about her experiences on the road while cooking.
Feng Yuxuan exploded at that moment!
She actually inherited her mother's hot temper a little. 'Now people come to our door every day with money to ask to join the franchise, and we're still being picky, not accepting a single penny. We teach them how to open a store, hand in hand. Now every family is making money, and this is how they repay us?'
She felt betrayed. 'Mom, don't worry, if you annoy me, I'll take back their franchise rights and we'll open our own! Let them be lazy, and see where they will find the money to gamble and keep mistresses. Don't worry, I'll be the villain,'
Feng Zhanchang, who had just walked to the kitchen door with the contract, was a little annoyed when he heard his daughter's words. 'You, you, the training courses you paid for were a waste of money, and you're still acting so recklessly. If acting recklessly could get things done, why would your mother and I be in such a hurry?'
He handed Mei Qiuping a contract. 'If we stick to the contract, it's simple. We can withdraw the franchise rights and make them pay compensation. But they are our neighbours, so it's not good to do that. Besides, they are just a bit lazy, not as dedicated as before,'
Feng Yuxuan had also been angry when she said those things earlier, but she had calmed down by now. 'It's not scary if they are a bit lazy and not dedicated for a while, but I'm afraid that they have already made it a habit,'
Feng Zhenchang nodded approvingly. This comment hit the nail on the head. Isn't this what they are worried about?
But what should be done about it? Relying on him to say a few words as an elder seems to have had little effect. After spending a few years in the city and making some money, many of these people have changed.
'Call Yiping,' said Mei Qiuping.
Feng Yiping, who had just pulled the car into the courtyard, listened to his father's words and smiled, "It's not as serious as you think. This is easy to deal with. I think this way, next month, let each family only leave their wives in the store, and the heads of the family return to the county for training. Tentatively, it will be half a month to a month. I will have the personnel department calculate how much training fees should be charged." Now that they are in this attitude, of course it is impossible to provide free training.
'After the training is over, give them a two-to-three-month rectification period. After that, don't go there, and let someone else from the company go in for surprise inspections and acceptance checks. If things are still the same, then do what the contract says. What do you think?'
'I think that's fine,' Feng Zhenchang thought it was pretty good. It gave these people in the village face and a chance, and it also solved the problems they had found. Not bad.
After being together for almost two years, Huang Jingping is now becoming more and more attached to him. Every time she hears his car pull into the driveway, she runs to the door to wait for him. Today is no exception. 'Is something wrong at home?' she asks, taking Feng Yiping's hand.
'Nothing,' Feng Yiping says, kissing her forehead. 'I just need to gather the people from the noodle shop for some training.'
To be honest, although he had long anticipated such a situation, he had not expected it to come so soon.
It seems that Jin Da Da was right in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. Advanced martial arts require advanced cultivation, otherwise problems will arise.
The same applies to money. Those folks at home who have just put down their hoes and shovels and are suddenly earning tens of thousands of yuan a month are living very comfortably and inevitably feeling a bit inflated and at a loss.
Plus, this opportunity to make money came easily, so they don't really cherish it. What's more, they think, isn't business pretty good now that they're doing this?
If this opportunity was something they had toiled to buy for tens of thousands of dollars, they would know how to cherish it! Just like spending nearly ten million to join those internationally renowned fast food restaurants, who would dare to slack off?
However, I believe that after training and reading the contract again, they should have a clearer understanding of what kind of attitude they should have.
I guess when they signed the contract, they were only thinking about being able to run a profitable business, and they also had great faith in Feng Zhenchang. They never imagined that one day they would not do a good job, so they didn't read the contract carefully, and so they didn't know that when they were withdrawing the franchise rights, they would also have to compensate for the losses!
As for the possibility that after withdrawing the franchise rights, they would use what they had learned to open another noodle restaurant of the same kind, just without the signboard, Feng Yiping is not worried at all.
If they really did that, Feng Yuxuan would have many ways to deal with them.
'What are we having for dinner?'
'Steamed glutinous rice with peas,'
'Great,' he loves this dish, but later on, when his stomach started acting up, he didn't dare eat it. Now, with his young stomach, he can eat as much as he likes.
'Then I have a request too,' Huang Jingping said with a smile.
'What is it?'
'Can you not play that instrument today? Just one song, back and forth, it's really noisy,'
'I can't do that. We're not leaving for the trip for a few days, and I haven't mastered that piece yet. Hang in there, honey. Why don't you and Jin go to the movies tonight?'
Feng Zhenchang and the others were also having dinner. With the solution to their constant worry, Feng Zhenchang was finally able to enjoy a few drinks again.
'Dad, Mom, you should stay a few more days. I'll show you around the neighborhood. The provincial capital has changed quite a bit. I'll even accompany you to buy some more clothes for the changing seasons,'
'We can't stay for long, the mulberry silk base is about to sign a contract with the county, and County Chief Zhao wants me to be there. Also, Yiping just said that next month we'll take Grandpa on a trip to the grasslands with the parents of those outstanding employees selected last year. We also need to arrange some things at home, so we'll wait until after the trip,'
