"Apprentices only get 5 yuan a month, but they include room and board. After graduation, they have to work with me for three years." Seeing Song Jining in a daze, thinking that he thought the apprentice's salary was low, Uncle Peng kindly said: "After learning this craft, you will be able to learn it. In the future, if I have a chance, I can work as a technician in an electrical factory or a department store in the city, and I can also open a maintenance department like me, how about it?" He was very optimistic about Song Jining, and he specially introduced his future way out.

"Uh..." Song Jining only felt that the kindness was hard to turn down. After all, he was here to steal a teacher, and the uncle didn't chase him away, and even kindly wanted to accept him as an apprentice. I always feel sorry for the uncle for refusing.After groaning for a long time, he could only say: "I... I will go to high school in the future, and I will take the college entrance examination. I'm sorry, Uncle Peng, I can't be your apprentice."

"That's it..." Entrance to university is a big deal, so Uncle Peng can only let him go regretfully.

After that, Song Jining never felt ashamed to go to the maintenance department, and only concentrated on studying with Ji Chen.Later, when the two of them talked about it, Ji Chen heard that Song Jining wanted to learn some knowledge outside of books, so after thinking about it, he simply recommended him to Ji Jianguo.Although the supply and marketing cooperative has no technical content, being able to contact all kinds of people is also a way to broaden your horizons.But there is no salary to take.

Song Jining doesn't mind the salary, and working in a supply and marketing cooperative is very new to him.Ji Jianguo heard that he wanted to come to increase his social knowledge, so he taught him how to sell, and let him take care of the counter.Song Jining has a good memory, and he clearly remembers the locations and prices of nearly a hundred tools and accessories in the counter. He easily took over the position of salesperson, and he still has time to help Ji Jianguo tidy up the warehouse.

Ji Jianguo was very satisfied with him. When there were no customers, the two would lie on the counter together. Then Ji Jianguo pointed to the tools and accessories in the counter and told him one by one where these things were usually used.

This is all knowledge that is not in the book. Ji Chen came over and heard it occasionally, so he quickly moved a small stool and sat down to study together, looking at Ji Jianguo with admiration in his eyes.

Ji Jianguo didn't understand what he knew, and he didn't understand what Ji Jianguo knew either.

He has a specialization in art, but he is still too arrogant to ask his father for advice.

Ji Jianguo was a senior engineer in a machinery factory back then, and he knew how to use various tools and accessories.It’s just that there aren’t many special things to talk about on the counter, so he talked excitedly, and with his son’s admiring eyes, he simply mentioned to them his work in the machinery factory and drew a few circuit diagrams of large machinery for them to know. , Seeing the surprised expressions on their faces holding the blueprints he drew, I was very happy.

Song Jining considered that if he wanted to be the factory manager in the future, he would have to understand how the machinery factory works, so he listened carefully and asked detailed questions.Ji Rafter asked very detailed questions in order to refer to the mechanical properties of this era.Not only the performance and production capacity of the machinery, but also the factory's benefits and marketing model, both of them asked clearly.

Ji Jianguo has been away from the machinery factory for many years, and there is not much to brag about. He was sweating when he was asked. When he got home at night, he quickly found out the local newspapers collected by Li Shulan to learn about the latest local policy news, and combined with some of the news he had heard. According to the gossip, it is speculated that the once huge machinery factory is currently in a state of poor management.I was also worried that if my son asked him how to solve it, so I started flipping through the book again.

When he came back from his grandfather's house for New Year's greetings, Li Run gave him a few books on marketing and economics. Ji Jianguo didn't like to read books, and he only worked in a small supply and marketing cooperative. He felt that there was nothing to improve. Those few books The book has never been turned.In order to save face in front of his sons, he rarely looked, and tried to simulate the situation in the machinery factory.

Talking about the situation of the machinery factory the next day, Ji Jianguo talked eloquently, analyzing the various pros and cons of the machinery factory based on the actual situation and current policies.Although it was a bit of talking on paper, he finally coaxed the two children, and they looked at him with admiration.

Ji Yu actually knew that his father secretly read the book after he came home last night, but he didn't expect that he could say something in line with the free market after only reading it for one night.

Song Jining simply admired it, and asked, "Uncle Ji, the glass factory where my mother works is often on holiday now, and the glass produced is said to be difficult to sell. What do you think should be done?"

"Uh..." Ji Jianguo didn't have any idea. He grew up eating a big pot of rice and never had to consider the issue of interests. If he hadn't read "The Autobiography of Iacocca", he would not know that the capitalist people used to have money every day. To increase the sales volume of the factory.

He recalled a few books he had read for a while, and remembered how to stimulate customer demand mentioned in the book, so he said: "I heard that the glass in big cities is all colored. Although it will be more expensive, it is still a lot of money." People like it. There is also frosted glass. People in the city pay attention to * and other things. They don’t like others to see their homes, so they like to install frosted glass. The glass crafts are also very good. I saw a giraffe made of glass in Laijiang Department Store. It was very beautiful. Yes, like crystal. If you try to make a glass factory, maybe you can enter a department store!"

Song Jining thought it was a good idea, so he mentioned it to Huang Yan after returning home.Huang Yan was also worried that the factory would always have holidays, and with the mentality of being a dead horse as a living horse doctor, she took the initiative to mention it to the factory manager when she went to work.The factory manager knows a little bit more about the market than she does. Frosted glass is no longer rare. Other factories produce it, but glass handicrafts are rare.Although the glass factory has never made handicrafts, fortunately there are many old skilled workers, and more than a dozen people were asked to try to make some glass animals. After a few days, they finally made something decent.

Because mice are easier, there are more successful glass mice.Huang Yan looked interesting, so she discussed with the workers and made a set of twelve zodiac products for the factory manager: "Anyway, they are made of animals, and I think it is more complete to make a set of twelve zodiac signs."

The factory manager looked at the Chinese zodiac in a daze, and nodded abruptly: "Yes, the Chinese zodiac is not bad. Director Zou, come here, let's go to the department store!"

The factory manager got a batch of orders for the twelve zodiac signs from the department store, and set up a special group to produce glass handicrafts. As a reward, he also made Huang Yan the team leader, and his salary was increased by several yuan.

Although he is only a team leader, his influence on Song Jining and Ji Jianguo is huge—it turns out that this is the marketing mentioned in the book.

The two finally had a more specific concept of "marketing" and looked at each other with a sense of sympathy.Ji Jianguo gave Song Jining the "Autobiography of Iacocca" and "The Weakness of Human Nature" that he had read. In return, Song Jining spent almost all his spare time doing chores for Ji Jianguo. Of course, he also took more care of Ji Rafter.

In the old society, he might have been willing to call Ji Chen "Master".

As an outsider, Song Jining often came to the supply and marketing cooperative, but because he didn't get paid and was willing to work, the other two salesmen of the supply and marketing cooperative had no objection.Sister Li at the grocery cabinet next to him saw that he was easy to handle, so she called him: "Hey, Song Jining, come and help Auntie tidy up the warehouse here too!" , you can pick a few and take them home."

Only then did Song Jining help.

He is not such a good boy who is hardworking and loves to work. It is one thing to help Ji's family. Others want to order him, and they want to be beautiful without giving benefits.

The warehouse of the grocery cabinet was in a mess, and there were a lot of old things that could not be sold. Ji Zhuan also came to help, but it was a pity that he was small and weak, and he was too tired to move a few iron basins.Seeing this, Ji Jianguo also came to participate in the sorting, only to find that there were a lot of things piled up in the grocery cabinets, especially the enamel urinals that are rarely used now, there were actually hundreds of them, and they were already full of dust.There are also toy playing cards that are almost moldy. The pictures on them are still the black and white pictures from the early years. There are two big boxes. Now they are sold out and children will not buy them.

"Sister Li, why don't you take out these things in the warehouse and sell them?"

Sister Li poked her head over and waved her hand: "Hey, no one buys these things, they can't be sold, and they still take up space on the counter, just pile them up in a corner, don't worry about them."

"Then why buy so much?"

"You think I'm happy, and we'll sell whatever is purchased from above, and if we can't sell it, we'll put it in the warehouse!"

"This...it's too wasteful to leave it like this..."

"Then there is no way, anyway, it's all done by the procurement office."

Ji Jianguo thought of the books he had read again. According to the working methods of capital enterprises in the books, from the purchasing department to the sales department, they should all be fired collectively.Fortunately, they don't need to worry about this, but there is nothing to be thankful for, all this waste is the country's money.

After tidying up the warehouse of the grocery cabinet, Ji Jianguo took an inventory of the warehouse of the agricultural product counter by the way.Fortunately, the agricultural product counters are full of seeds, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, etc., and it doesn't matter if they are kept for a long time. However, some chemical fertilizers that have long been withdrawn from the market are piled up in the corner of the warehouse because they have no effect.Of course, this kind of thing can't be sold, it's good to just pile it up like this.

Song Jining has been following behind Ji Jianguo to help, without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something.When Ji Jianguo returned to the counter to rest, he asked in a low voice, "Uncle Ji, can I sell those second-hand goods in the warehouse?"
