Siheyuan: I am the God of Cooking, and all the birds are crying with envy!

In that slightly cramped office brimming with business opportunities, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e sat opposite each other. The desks in front of them seemed to carry their infinite visions and plans for the future, with all kinds of information and drawings piled up on them.

These papers are like the mysterious codes leading to the door of wealth. Each page records in detail various information about BB machines, pagers, rice cookers and other electrical appliances.

——From the basic structure and performance parameters of the product, to the market price and sales trend in Hong Kong, to the analysis of potential consumer groups in Beijing and the estimation of market gaps, everything is covered.

He Yuzhu's fingers eagerly and forcefully poked at a pager with detailed information. The fingertips seemed to carry an electric current, instantly igniting the spark of excitement in his eyes, making them as bright as the bright stars in the night sky.

"Xiao'e, look at this! This little thing has already set off a craze in Hong Kong, and it's gaining momentum.

I took great pains to inquire about it, and found out that the supply there is not only relatively stable, but also has considerable room for maneuver in terms of price.

If we can successfully introduce it to Beijing, it will be like dropping a bombshell on a calm lake, causing a huge uproar and becoming the focus of heated discussion on the streets!"

Lou Xiao'e nodded slightly, and her carefully groomed long hair swayed gently, like black silk flowing in the sun.

Her eyes revealed a hint of the shrewdness and competence unique to businessmen, just like the cold stars twinkling in the night sky: "I admit that this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, just like a piece of unpolished jade emitting an attractive luster, right in front of us.

However, Pillar, we must also be aware that the hidden risks are like thorns hidden in the dark. If we are not careful, we may be covered in wounds.

Take transportation for example, these electronic products are delicate "ladies of gold". If there is any mistake during the long journey, even a small bump or collision, it may cause serious damage, and the loss will be far from insignificant.

Furthermore, we have to consider the two huge mountains of customs tariffs and policies and regulations.

If you get stuck while passing the level, it will be like being stuck in a quagmire, unable to move. All your initial investment may go to waste, and the consequences are simply unimaginable."

He Yuzhu's brows instantly twisted into a deep "川" shape, as if they could pinch a mosquito to death.

He raised his hand and rubbed his temple, falling into a brief moment of contemplation.

After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had found a ray of light in the darkness: "As for transportation, I do have a close friend in the transportation team. He promised me that he could help me find a few experienced, skilled and steady drivers.

As long as they are careful on the road and always keep an eye on the condition of the goods, I don't think the problem should be too big.

As for tariffs and policies, Xiao'e, you have extensive connections in Hong Kong and make friends with all kinds of people.

Could you ask someone to find out the details?

See if you can find some clever ways to avoid unnecessary troubles and obstacles, just like clearing a safe path through the thorns. "

Lou Xiao'e bit her lips gently, leaving a row of shallow teeth marks on her pink lips, as if they were the external mark of her inner entanglement and thinking.

Her voice was hesitant and uncertain: "I can go and ask, but this matter involves many complicated factors and links, and I dare not guarantee that it will work.

Moreover, even if we are lucky and successfully solve the two major problems of transportation and policy, there is still a more critical problem that stands before us like a mountain, that is, market acceptance.

After all, these new things are still extremely rare in Beijing, like a sweet rain in the desert, and ordinary people’s knowledge and understanding of them is almost zero.

It remains to be seen whether they are willing to spend their hard-earned money to buy these expensive electrical appliances.

Therefore, before we take formal action, we must work hard to conduct a comprehensive, in-depth and detailed market research to understand the thoughts and needs of the people, so that we can be targeted and increase the chances of success. "

He Yuzhu seemed to have been injected with a shot of cardiotonic. He suddenly straightened his chest and confidently patted his chest vigorously, making a "bang bang" sound, as if announcing his determination to the world:

"I firmly believe that this is absolutely not a problem! Look at the current situation. Beijing's economy is like a seedling growing vigorously in the spring, changing every day. Everyone's living standards are steadily improving, just like sesame flowers blooming higher and higher.

People are becoming more receptive and tolerant of new things, and are no longer as conservative and closed as they were in the past.

The emergence of these electrical appliances is not just a simple commodity, but a magical thing that can bring earth-shaking changes to people's lives.

Take this rice cooker for example. The rice cooked by it is plump, fragrant, and has a soft and glutinous texture. It also has a timing function. It is simply a great helper for housewives, freeing them from tedious kitchen work and allowing them to enjoy more leisure time.

I can guarantee that it won’t be long before these appliances become an indispensable part of every household’s life, just like daily necessities.”

Lou Xiao'e's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, that smile is like the first peach blossom blooming in spring, bright and moving: "What you said does make some sense, Zhuzi, but we can't be blindly optimistic.

Publicity and promotion require a lot of real money, which is undoubtedly a considerable expense. It is like a bottomless pit that will continue to devour our funds.

Therefore, we must rack our brains to come up with a publicity strategy that saves money and achieves twice the result with half the effort, just like using the least amount of fuel to make a rocket fly the highest and farthest. "

The two of them were discussing enthusiastically, with the atmosphere so heated that it seemed to ignite the air around them.

They were so engrossed in the grand plans for the future electrical appliance store that they had no idea Xu Xinyue had been standing silently behind the office door, like a ghost hidden in the darkness.

Xu Xinyue stood there quietly, like a solidified statue. Only the slight rise and fall of her chest's breathing proved that she was still alive.

Her eyes were fixed on the two figures in the room who were talking freely. The light in her eyes was complex and dim, like a disturbed lake, mixed with various emotions such as pain, loss, confusion and inferiority.

Looking at He Yuzhu's passionate and energetic appearance, his face was filled with excitement and concentration that he had never shown in front of him before, as if he had become a different person.

Look at Lou Xiao'e again. Her charming appearance, fashionable and appropriate clothes, and the confidence and elegance she exudes in her every move all demonstrate her charm and style. She is like a dazzling pearl, shining with charming luster under the light.

In comparison, Xu Xinyue suddenly felt like a dusty stone, so dull and insignificant in front of them, as if she was a person from a different world and incompatible with them.

Xu Xinyue's throat seemed to be tightly strangled by an invisible hand, and she couldn't make a sound.

Her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move at all.

After a long time, she seemed to wake up from a terrible nightmare, and turned away slowly and silently.

Her back looked so lonely, desolate and helpless, as if she was carrying all the sadness in the world.

After returning home, Xu Xinyue sat in front of the mirror in a daze, staring at herself in the mirror with empty eyes.

The face in the mirror no longer has the youthful beauty and radiance of its youth.

The wrinkles at the corners of the eyes are like marks left by time, one after another, clearly and deeply imprinted there, as if telling the hardships and difficulties of life in the past ten years.

Her hair became dry, rough and lifeless, like a bunch of dead grass shivering in the cold wind. There were many dazzling silver threads mixed in it, flashing coldly under the dim light, as if it was a ruthless mockery given to her by life.

Over the past ten years, for the sake of this family, she has gotten up early and gone to bed late, taking care of all the household affairs, from washing clothes and cooking to cleaning, from taking care of the elderly to raising children. She does everything herself and is as busy as a spinning top, but she has inadvertently neglected her own dressing and maintenance.

Lou Xiao'e travels back and forth between bustling cities all day long, coming into contact with new things and upper-class people. She is fashionable, beautiful, and full of energy. She exudes the calmness and composure of someone who has seen the world, and her every move reveals an irresistible charm.

"Am I really not worthy of the pillar?"

Xu Xinyue's lips trembled slightly as she muttered to herself.

Her voice was as soft as the breeze blowing across the strings of a harp, weak and trembling.

The scene she had just seen in the office emerged involuntarily in her mind. The undisguised admiration and worship in Lou Xiao'e's eyes when she looked at He Yuzhu was like a poisonous snake gnawing at her heart.

"Does she like the pillars?"

Once this horrible idea took root in her mind, it grew and spread wildly like weeds, and could never be shaken off. It took root deeply in her heart and tormented every nerve in her body.

Xu Xinyue's heart was filled with anxiety and inferiority. This emotion was like a surging tide, surrounding her tightly and making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Her hands were tightly clutching the corners of her clothes, and her knuckles turned white from the force.

She wanted to have a good talk with He Yuzhu and pour out all her doubts and pain, but she was afraid to hear the answer she least wanted to hear. She was afraid that this family would be shattered and fall into an abyss of no return.

At this time, He Yuzhu was still immersed in the beautiful idea of ​​opening an electrical appliance store, as if he was in a dream world full of hope and light. He was completely unaware that his wife's heart was already in turmoil and a family storm was quietly brewing.

Time flies, and a few days pass in a flash.

He Yuzhu returned home as usual, dragging his exhausted body.

As soon as he entered the door, he keenly noticed that Xu Xinyue was in a low mood, as if shrouded in a thick haze.

"Xinyue, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

A trace of concern flashed in He Yuzhu's eyes. He put down what he was holding, walked quickly to his wife, reached out and gently touched her forehead, trying to see if she had a fever.

Xu Xinyue shook her head gently, the movement was slow and weak, as if she had used up all her strength: "Nothing, just a little tired."

Her voice was low and hoarse, as if it was squeezed out from the depths of her throat, without a trace of life.

He Yuzhu didn't think much about it and said casually: "There are too many things to do in the restaurant and the electrical appliance store these days. It's like two mountains pressing on me, and I'm so busy that I'm dizzy.

When this busy period is over, I will definitely take you and the children out for a walk, relax, go to the park, and go to the department store to buy new clothes for you and the children, how about that? "

His eyes revealed a hint of guilt and fatigue, but more of it was anticipation for the future.

Xu Xinyue glanced at him indifferently, with a hint of indifference and disappointment in her eyes: "If you have this idea, you might as well spend more time in the restaurant.
