For Li Yang, if he can settle this matter in one go, it will save him a lot of trouble later.
In Wang Cuiping’s view, if Xue Ning doesn’t get married, she will feel very sad when she grows older.
It’s not just about money, it’s more about the spiritual aspect.
Li Yang not only has work, but also a family. They might also put more emotion into Li Yang’s children, or when they grow older, they won’t be able to provide any emotional value to Xue Ning.
Besides, they’re bound to die before Xue Ning, and when they’re gone?
How lonely would Xue Ning be then? Looking around, there’s no one to accompany her for the rest of her life.
As for the kids, by that ti they will have their own families, possibly busy with their lives, the care they can provide will be limited.
If she has a daughter, it might be a bit better; a daughter marries into a good family and has spare ti to accompany her.
If she has a son, and he has headaches or colds, or gets hospitalized, can she count on the son to serve? The daughter-in-law? Even less hope.
Li Yang said: "Mom, I think Ning is right. Of course, I also agree with your thoughts. But feelings can’t be forced. If Ning wants to find soone, she should go ahead, if she doesn’t want to..."
"Even if she doesn’t want to, she has to find soone..." Wang Cuiping added.
Li Yang asked: "Mom, if she doesn’t want to find soone, why force her into it? If the man really impresses Ning, she wouldn’t need you to say anything, she’d go herself. We can’t just accept anyone for the sake of marriage, right? A forced marriage would definitely be a ss, Ning’s personality wouldn’t let her tell the family her grievances, it’s better for her to stay ho with you, at least she won’t be wronged."
"What about later? When we’re old..."
"Then Ning should stay by your side. I have a ton of work and don’t know how many days I can spend at ho each year. With Ning taking care of you, I’ll be at ease."
Wang Cuiping: "You’re saying it nicely, but who will take care of her later?"
Li Yang: "I will, when Ning gets older, I’ll be retired as well. Even if I can’t take care of people well, I have sons and daughters, they should take care of her, right? Moreover, can’t I afford a caregiver? When I retire, I’ll move in with Ning, talk to her, find soone to serve her, and ensure she won’t be wronged at any ti."
"What if you go bankrupt?"
Li Yang: "..."
Such a mother indeed.
He said helplessly: "Then, while I still have money, I’ll set aside an amount every year for you, with Ning also having a share, ensuring you’ll have enough for the rest of your lives after three to five years, will that work?"
"That’s what you said, not ."
Wang Cuiping wouldn’t dare to suggest letting her son support a foster daughter, she already reached her limit by asking him to prepare a dowry.
No matter how rich Li Yang becos, they can’t use Li Yang’s money on Xue Ning, Li Yang must offer it voluntarily.
"Yes, yes, I said it."
Li Yang just needed this excuse.
At this point, the emotional value Xue Ning provided to his parents was already beyond extraordinary, he was happy to do it.
He and Jiang Banxia were bound not to stay ho often, can’t pull Bai Qing back to accompany them now, right? That would be more troubleso.
For Wang Cuiping, this outco wasn’t unacceptable because her son was willing, she didn’t bear the pressure and could live happily.
"But let be clear, if Ningning ets soone she likes, she can marry anyti."
"No problem, as long as Ning wants to, I’ll keep my promise until I’m bankrupt."
Wang Cuiping: "Then delay your bankruptcy for a few years..."
Li Yang: "..."
...
In the afternoon, Li Yang had nothing to do, and didn’t have a chance to find Xue Ning, so he simply started contacting headhunting firms directly, Green Water Heaven and Earth needed a professional general manager to help build the entire supermarket system.
He still had to go to Fuguang Group, where he had ordered a batch of products over the past two days, all of which would be trendy items in the future, requiring Fuguang Group to prepare for production.
Of course, a portion would definitely be assigned to Green Water Group, after all, Green Water Group was originally in food processing, able to open several factories in the nearby counties, providing a lot of employnt for the locals.
Food is evolving every year, recent years’ trendy food is at floss buns, but at floss buns are gradually starting to lose their popularity.
The era of trendy food will comnce in the coming years, and once it starts, many food processing plants will beco manufacturers for trendy brands.
Are trendy products better? No, they’re more expensive!
For example, a certain brand of snail noodles currently priced at four yuan will gradually increase to seven yuan, ten yuan, twelve yuan, and fifteen yuan in the coming years...
Trendy products lack cost-effectiveness, but due to mass marketing and various behind-the-scenes price cap agreents, causing all market product prices to rise wildly.
Even many major brands have started collaborating with influencers, signing cap price agreents with platform rchants, significantly raising the factory prices.
The reason is the massive profits brought by influencers!
Retailing on the market, selling one million packs of snail noodles a year, with influencer promotion, selling three million packs a year.
Previously, to sell products both offline and online, profits had to be lowered, using low prices to attract people. A factory price of three yuan might get an average selling price of just three and a half.
Yet after influencer promotion, even with a factory price of three yuan, the average price can reach seven or ten yuan.
Even after giving influencers a 20% commission, it’s more profitable than before, since it’s ultimately the consur’s expense.
Consurs, aren’t they just ant to be taken advantage of?
Li Yang has no particular thoughts on this phenonon, one is willing to hit, one is willing to get hit.
What he’s more concerned about is what happens after this...
There are more and more influencer products, and for consurs, the desire to purchase becos stronger.
In the past, many people didn’t even know those snacks existed in the world.
Maybe everyone has had pickled chicken feet, but at that ti, spicy boneless chicken feet were relatively niche.
Spicy boneless chicken feet will beco a leading influencer product in the future, with a single product achieving annual national sales of 6.5 billion yuan.
With the update in storage thods, more and more small snacks are being turned into influencer products.
Many things that could only be eaten at small stalls can now be stored in the refrigerator at ho.
These influencer products are needed by consurs because they better align with their eating habits.
Influencer marketing is really no different from investnt.
So people invest only for the huge short-term profits. They don’t care about how the market will be in the future, as long as they can sell products and make money in the short term.
Price agreents can package an eyebrow pencil worth a few yuan into one costing seventy or eighty yuan, and you can’t find a single price lower than those celebrities on the entire internet.
It’s easier to recognize brand value with costics and skincare products, and Li Yang is not interested, but when it cos to food, brand effects weaken a lot.
In the future, influencers will expand the popularity of those products; he prepares in advance to capture those markets, killing two birds with one stone.
The influencer model will severely undermine the market’s consur credibility; so without bottom lines will make consurs "once bitten, twice shy".
Li Yang is one of them.
No matter what he buys on Douyin, he always gets the short end of the stick, so he decisively gave up on that stuff later.
Even so well-known big teams sell things with no cost-effectiveness.
They say it’s the lowest price on the internet, and indeed, a search shows it is.
But damn it, before you entered the market, that product cost less than it does now.
Once or twice doesn’t matter, but many tis later, you either can’t afford to keep up, or find the prices outrageous, with incredibly poor value for money.
Psychologically, it’s no different from being robbed.
The healthy competition in the market is broken, too much attention is drawn to influencer products, leading to bad money driving out good, hitting consur confidence after fernting.
Li Yang went through those dark years when goods in the market wouldn’t sell, and countless companies went bankrupt.
To survive, influencer products had to cut down on quality, and major platforms, for the sake of turnover, would turn a blind eye, with zero regulation.
This fueled the popularity of Pang Donglai, even though its things weren’t cheap either.
It relied on service and quality, forcibly turning its supermarket into a tourist attraction. This shows consurs aren’t fools, they’re willing to pay for service and quality.
This is what’s called: Awakening!
Li Yang definitely wants to capture the traffic of these ’awakened ones’, providing them with better products and more cost-effective services.
Layout influencer products, crafting flavors more suited to Chinese young people.
...
He didn’t get to go to Extre Shadow Cars, by the ti he finished everything else, it was already very late.
After six o’clock, when he ca back, he saw his mom preparing a sumptuous dinner.
The morning al, due to ti constraints, was a bit simpler, and many good things didn’t get a chance to be made.
Li Yang leaned over to take a look and complained, "Mom, you don’t make this much at ho, I haven’t even tasted so of this seafood."
"We don’t sell those at ho, Jiangbei is a big city, and there’s more fresh seafood sold here, all these are what Ningning likes to eat."
"I like to eat them too."
After saying that, Li Yang reached out to taste a piece.
Wang Cuiping didn’t really say anything, after all, her son is loved just the sa.
It’s just that...
"At least wash your hands..."
"I’ll wash them after eating, otherwise they’d get dirty again. By the way, where’s dad?"
Li Yang didn’t see Li Likun, he only saw Xue Ning sitting on the sofa watching TV, holding a bowl of so kind of soup in her hand.
"He went downstairs, not sure for what."
Li Yang wiped his hands and opened the door to head down.
He took a glance at the entrance of the apartnt building but didn’t see his dad.
Then, he strolled around the surroundings, finally spotting a sneaky figure in a corner.
Seeing Li Yang approaching, Li Likun quickly threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, stomping on it a few tis, awkwardly saying, "Why did you co down?"
"I’m calling you back for dinner, Dad... if you want to smoke, you don’t have to co here, just find a bedroom, close the door and open the window, isn’t that how we used to do it at ho?"
"Well, it doesn’t work now, pregnant won can’t sll any smoke... I was just holding back too much today, this is still the first one..."
