Chapter 313 Father and Son
"Director, are you off work?"
"It's time to get off work, Director..."
"Director, I heard you're getting married soon, please remember to treat us to wedding candy!"
Lin Yuhang pushed his bicycle towards the factory gate and met some employees who were also off work along the way. These employees greeted Lin Yuhang enthusiastically, and everyone had a happy smile on their face.
Compared with last year, the current Factory Eight is no longer the lifeless one it was back then. After Lin Yuhang took over as the factory director, Factory Eight was rejuvenated in less than a year. First, it turned around the loss situation of Factory Eight with its products in warm cup packaging. Then, a month ago, Factory Eight’s new product - ginseng royal jelly was officially launched on the market. Once launched quickly spread across the national market. With the promotion of advertising, ginseng royal jelly sold extremely well and the product was in short supply.
The current Factory Eight has grown from being the last in the Yanjing Chinese medicine industry to a rising star.
As the Eighth Factory became more prosperous, the factory's performance improved day by day. Employees no longer had to worry about not getting their wages or medical expenses reimbursed. Now, the monthly benefits and bonuses alone made everyone smile. All these changes were caused by Lin Yuhang. Without Lin Yuhang, the factory director, how could the Eighth Factory be so prosperous now?
Now everyone in Factory 8 is completely convinced of Lin Yuhang, even some old comrades who initially had some opinions about Lin Yuhang.
As the current situation of Factory No. 8 gets better and better, Lin Yuhang's prestige in the factory is getting higher and higher. Everyone admires and is grateful to this young factory director.
Lin Yuhang was in a very good mood as he greeted the employees one by one with a smile.
Firstly, the current situation of Factory 8 is very good, not just good but extremely good!
Lin Yuhang himself did not expect that the sales of ginseng royal jelly would be so popular, and the sales model of this product was completely different from the original sales of warm cup packaging. From the very beginning, Factory 8 made a lot of preparations on how to promote product channels and sales methods.
The Supply and Marketing Department was specially separated and a sales team was set up within the department. The sales team was led by Mr. Lu, the head of the Supply and Marketing Department, and consisted of the best and brightest members of the department.
In addition, Lin Yuhang was also very concerned about the advertising that Song Yuanchao reminded him of. He specially used his connections to contact CCTV and spent a lot of money to advertise on the TV station.
Although current TV commercials are still very simple, they are nothing more than a few ordinary factory scenes, followed by a close-up of the product, with the product name, factory name, address, contact number, etc. printed on the screen, followed by a narration voice repeating in a fast tone like Song Shixiong: "The ginseng royal jelly produced by the Eighth Yanjing Traditional Chinese Medicine Factory has XXXX efficacy, the product is three-guaranteed, and the effect is significant. The contact address of the Eighth Yanjing Traditional Chinese Medicine Factory is: XXXXXX, and the contact number is XXXXXX..."
Fortunately, the ginseng royal jelly product is a new product and has not won any honors, otherwise they would definitely add a sentence like : "The product won the city ( provincial) and ministerial awards."
Of course, this kind of narration must be repeated again and again, and if it is important, it must be repeated at least three times! From the perspective of later generations, such advertisements are extremely crude, but in this era, they are very trendy . Coupled with the influence of CCTV across the country, within a few days of the advertisement being put into operation, customers from all over the country who were inquiring about the product directly called the supply and marketing department.
In addition to television advertisements, newspaper advertisements were also placed. A large number of merchants lined up in front of the gate of the Eighth Factory. These buyers waved banknotes as if money was not money, and rushed to purchase their ginseng royal jelly products from the Eighth Factory.
Such popularity caught Lin Yuhang off guard. Even though Factory Eight had stockpiled a batch of inventory before officially launching the product, the inventory was sold out in less than half a month.
Now the eighth factory is working overtime, and the ginseng royal jelly production line runs 24 hours a day but still cannot meet the demand of the booming market.
After leaving the factory and riding his bicycle, Lin Yuhang first went to the song and dance troupe to pick up Luo Lin.
He and Rowling's wedding date is approaching, and they officially obtained their marriage certificate a week ago, so from this point of view they are already an official couple.
After waiting in the dance troupe for a while, Rowling came out.
"Have you been waiting for a long time? Something suddenly happened before getting off work, so I came out a little late." Seeing Lin Yuhang, Luo Lin ran up happily.
"It's okay, I just got here too." Lin Yuhang said with a smile. Looking at the smiling Rowling, his heart was filled with happiness. This was his little wife. In the past, Lin Yuhang never dared to imagine this day, but now with the continuous development of Factory 8, he has also established a family and will soon live with Rowling.
"Let's go. Don't let mom wait anxiously at home." Luo Lin sat on Lin Yuhang's bicycle and magazine rack. Lin Yuhang responded, pushed his left leg on the ground, stepped on the bike with his right leg and rode out steadily. Luo Lin reached out from behind and put her arm around Lin Yuhang's waist. The two of them walked towards home while talking.
The place they went to today was not Lin Yuhang’s original home, but Song Yuanchao’s earliest courtyard house.
As Lin Yuhang's wedding date is approaching, Song Yuanchao proposed to give this courtyard house to the Lin family. Anyway, Song Yuanchao already has a larger villa in Mu Zhang'a's villa, which has been renovated. It would be a pity if no one lives in it. But once people move in, no one will live here. The decoration here is also very good, and it would be a waste to leave it alone.
Although the living conditions of the Lin family were not bad, the house became a bit crowded after Lin Yuhang got married. In addition to Song Yuanchao's suggestion, Lin Yan finally persuaded Lin Daoyuan to accept this courtyard. Chen Yuqin made a great contribution to this.
When Lin Yan brought Chen Yuqin to this courtyard, Chen Yuqin liked it very much. Although this courtyard was not as good as Mu Zhang'a's other courtyard, it was also a neat courtyard. Although it was only a second courtyard, the area of this second courtyard was not small. In addition, Song Yuanchao had carefully renovated it after he took over the courtyard. Such a good courtyard could be counted as one of the best in the whole of Yanjing.
This second courtyard has a main house, east and west wing rooms, an ear room, a garden and a corridor. The entire courtyard is large enough to accommodate not only Lin Yan's family, but also a few relatives.
In addition, Song Yuanchao not only gave the yard to the Lin family, but also kept all the antique furniture in the yard and the old furniture that Song Yuanchao collected and refurbished later.
Now the main house of this courtyard is occupied by Lin Daoyuan and Chen Yuqin. Their bedroom is on the east side, the room reserved for Lin Yan is on the west side, and the main room in the middle is used for receiving guests. It is clean and tidy. There are famous paintings and calligraphy obtained by Song Yuanchao hanging on the walls of the room, and the beautiful Ming and Qing furniture that has been refurbished makes it look very grand.
Lin Yuhang and Luo Lin lived in the east wing, which was the room where Song Yuanchao previously displayed his calligraphy and paintings.
The calligraphy and paintings and other collections in the house had been moved to the other courtyard by Song Yuanchao, and the house was redecorated and renovated. After the house was renovated, considering the habits of young people like Lin Yuhang and Luo Lin, there were not many Ming and Qing furniture, but more modern solid wood furniture, which seemed a bit trendy.
Song Yuanchao originally used the west wing as a large study and reception room. The structure remains intact and most of the furniture and utensils have been preserved. Lin Daoyuan likes this west wing very much. Due to this, Lin Daoyuan rarely works in the small study in the main house and often stays here for a long time.
In addition, Song Yuanchao converted several other rooms, such as the ear rooms, into guest rooms for guests to stay in.
Lin Yan is still living here temporarily, but she is busy with an internship and sometimes still lives in the dormitory. Even though she won’t live here for too long, because in a few months, her wedding date with Song Yuanchao will be here soon. After they get married, Lin Yan will live in the villa with Song Yuanchao, and this will be her parents’ home in the future.
The kitchen and toilet in the courtyard were specially taken into consideration during the renovation. The living conditions are much better than those of the Lin family before. Even if Lin Daoyuan doesn't say it, he is very satisfied living here.
"Mom! I'm back to pick up Linlin!" When they got home and opened the door, Lin Yuhang picked up the bicycle and took Luo Lin over the stairs. His voice was heard before he could even see them.
After passing the screen wall, I parked the car in the front yard. At this time, Chen Yuqin just came out of the kitchen in the east corner of the front yard.
"You're back, Linlin. Come on, come on. It's just right. I went shopping in Wangfujing today and bought you a piece of woolen fabric. Come with me and see if you like it."
"Mom, I have clothes, why should I spend that money?" The young couple had already obtained their marriage certificate. Although they had not yet done the wedding, their mind had already changed. Hearing that Chen Yuqin had bought fabric for her, Luo Lin was moved but embarrassed at the same time and said this.
"You have it and it's yours. You'll be getting married in a month or so. How will the bride be without some new clothes? Listen to mom on this matter. Come with me and have a look. We'll have some designs made in a few days and find a skilled tailor. They'll be just what you need when the time comes."
Chen Yuqin took Luo Lin's hand and walked towards the main house in the backyard. Lin Yuhang watched them walking and talking with a smile. Just when Lin Yuhang was about to go back to his room to wash his face and change clothes, Chen Yuqin seemed to remember something and turned her head to Lin Yuhang and said, "Second son, your father is in the west wing . Go find him when you come back."
"My dad is back?" Lin Yuhang was stunned. What time is it? Lin Daoyuan is usually the last one to come back. How come he got off work on time today? This is really strange.
After answering, Lin Yuhang turned around and walked towards the west wing. When he arrived at the door, he knocked twice, and Lin Daoyuan's voice came from inside.
"Come in!"
"Dad, are you looking for me?" As soon as I walked in, I saw Lin Daoyuan sitting in an armchair looking at documents, with a pot of tea next to him and a half-lit cigarette in his hand.
"You're back?"
"Just got back."
Lin Daoyuan nodded to his son and motioned him to sit down. Lin Yuhang sat down in front of Lin Daoyuan without saying a word, waiting for Lin Daoyuan to speak.
