Chapter 2410
Have you ever seen instant noodles?
"I don't care, I just want to do business." Yu Shui ignored her brother's sarcasm and clung to He Yuzhu's arm, acting coquettishly and refusing to let go.
The key is that the aesthetic values of that era hadn't become as extreme as those of later generations.
Her affluent appearance was seen by her colleagues and neighbors as a symbol of a comfortable life.
Why should she care if her own brother makes a couple of jokes? It's not like she'll lose a piece of her flesh.
He Yuzhu scratched his head, trying to pull his hand away, but Yushui just wouldn't let go.
He Yuzhu moved aside, and she pressed herself against him, not caring if people misunderstood her even though she was throwing herself onto her own brother.
He Yuzhu said helplessly, "The key question is, what can you do?"
You can't even manage the restaurant's accounts properly.
"I don't care, you figure out a way."
Otherwise, I'll have no way to survive when the steel mill goes bankrupt." Yu Shui lied through her teeth, acting as if she had become dependent on He Yuzhu.
Of course, the fact that Yushui had this idea is indeed related to the current stagnation in the development of the steel rolling mill.
The problem remains the same; it's deeply entrenched and difficult to resolve.
Even though Comrade Lei focused on developing the tertiary industry, it was difficult to reverse the decline of the steel rolling mill.
In the 1950s, after the end of the joint public-private ownership, this factory became a large-scale factory with 10,000 employees.
The vast majority of those 10,000 people are now at the point of retirement.
Therefore, it is conceivable that the retirement pensions and medical reimbursements for that group of people constitute a significant expense.
The production technology and machinery of the 1950s and 60s, the one-to-one ratio of retired workers, and the grassroots managers whose minds became more active and who gradually developed their own selfish motives.
These heavy burdens cannot be reversed by Lao Lei alone.
The steel rolling mill is now seeing record-breaking revenue, but the truth is that it has been operating at a loss for two years.
No matter how much you earn, it can't make up for that deficit.
Accountants like Yu Shui naturally know what the company's books should look like.
It can be said that if things continue like this, not counting the appreciation of the factory's land plots...
The steel mill will never be able to repay the money it owes Lou Xiao'e.
What can be done? It's a dead end.
Therefore, it's understandable that rainwater feels insecure inside.
What would they do if their company, which they've worked for most of their lives, went bankrupt and restructured one day, just like her brother said?
According to He Yuzhu, the bankruptcy and reorganization of collective enterprises will definitely be a high-incidence period in ten years.
So, in the end, it was He Yuzhu's foul mouth that caused all the trouble.
He Yuzhu rubbed his temples, feeling genuinely helpless.
He really wanted to advise the girl to just give up.
It's not like we don't have money, so why do we keep thinking about starting a business?
The key point is that he had really thought about it. With someone like Yu Shui, who was ambitious but lacked practical skills, she was unwilling to do small businesses, and He Yuzhu was afraid that she would ruin the Ren family's business if she did big businesses.
Therefore, finding a stable and profitable industry for her to settle down is what worries He Yuzhu.
In this world, what business is guaranteed to make money without ever losing money?
The key issue is that the Yu Shui family's financial resources and annual dividend income also limited her ability to start a business from a young age.
Rainwater will definitely not be able to keep up with the business of some small restaurants and shops.
He wants to do big business, but he doesn't have the brains to manage it. So how is He Yuzhu supposed to handle this?
He Yuzhu was so worried that he even had a few more gray hairs.
By noon, all three of them were hungry, and He Yuzhu couldn't come up with a good solution.
This thing is really too difficult.
It's even more difficult than He Yuzhu managing the CNC college.
Now, Yu Shui is thinking that even if she is just a lump of mud, He Yuzhu will still plaster her onto the wall.
Who told him to be her own brother?
"Are you guys having noodles for lunch?" He Yuzhu asked irritably.
These past two days, He Ping took Xiaochongzi on a trip during the break before school started.
Lovers always have a certain sour smell about them. Meanwhile, the fourth brother went to He Daqing's place, which was He Shouyi's paradise.
He Daqing would only call him "good grandson" and never ask him how his studies were going.
Those questions gave the unambitious fourth brother a real headache.
The key issue is that his eldest grandson, Song Fang, was taken away by Grandpa Song, and He Yuzhu doesn't tolerate these two relatives who cause him trouble.
"eat!"
I want a poached egg!
"I also want."
Both the young women and the older women made their requests.
He Yuzhu said irritably, "I think you two look like fried eggs."
Despite his words, He Yuzhu still used his skills to prepare food for his daughter and sister.
When the noodles were served, Yu Shui and He Yuan ate with relish, but He Yuzhu stared blankly at the noodles in his bowl.
He actually thought about what his sister could do.
Instant noodles!
Last year, a food factory in Shanghai introduced an instant noodle production line from Xiao Rizi.
The food factory produced "Happy" brand instant noodles, but the product did not make a splash in the market.
On the one hand, in the current market, people are still focused on filling their stomachs, and it's not a luxury to spend a few cents to buy a pack of bread.
Another success story of a certain chef in later generations also stemmed from innovation in flavor.
For example, Happy Brand instant noodles are just a combination of flour and salt, at most a packet of salty seasoning powder.
Xiao Lao Si bought it, and He Yuzhu tasted it. It tasted bland, almost like boiled noodles.
Unlike instant noodles of later generations, it doesn't create an addictive taste memory for customers.
But when it comes to seasoning, He Yuzhu is a natural.
In terms of advertising and promotion, he has Zhang Chaoyang.
He has readily available channels for importing equipment.
The only problem that needs to be solved in this business is the supply of flour.
He Yuzhu kept touching his nose, his mind preoccupied with how to arrange things.
Regarding the flour supply, his connections can resolve the issue.
Markets are not a problem either; the markets in major cities outside the city center are enough to support an instant noodle factory.
The only problem now is the management of rainwater. He Yuzhu needs to find a suitable manager for rainwater.
As long as the rainwater manages the finances and personnel well, this company can succeed.
Unlike He Yuzhu's earlier joke about rain, saying that she couldn't even figure out the bill at the restaurant.
In fact, He Yuzhu knew that the rain was intentional.
She simply didn't want to get too involved in the restaurant's affairs.
After all, when He Daqing started the restaurant, he had already said that it would definitely be passed down by He Yuzhu's children.
As a daughter, she would be very satisfied to receive tens of thousands of yuan in benefits every year.
If she gets too involved, it doesn't matter to her generation, but what if the Ren brothers get married?
Whether changes will occur and cause unpleasantness in the relationship with the He family is also a question.
Her surname is He, but she is a wife surnamed Ren.
The rainwater was quite clear on it.
"Rain, have you seen instant noodles at the supply and marketing cooperative?" He Yuzhu asked thoughtfully before speaking. (End of Chapter)
