Chapter 194: We Aim to Marry in Our Junior Year (Part 1/3)

When Tang Feng woke up in the morning, he looked out the window, feeling somewhat lost.

Outside, light snow had begun to fall.

He had not seen snow during his time in the capital.

His phone started ringing.

He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was from Su Xiaoli.

“Brother Feng, are you up yet?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“Just woke up,” Tang Feng replied.

“Quick, look outside! It’s started to snow!” Su Xiaoli’s voice sounded a bit hurried.

“It’s a pity the snow isn’t falling heavily, or else we could build a snowman,” Tang Feng felt somewhat regretful.

“That’s hard to say. It’s light snow now, but it might turn into heavy snow later,” Su Xiaoli said.

“When are you guys leaving?” Tang Feng asked.

“In a little while! I just got up too!” Su Xiaoli replied.

“Then I’ll get up and eat something! See you at the company entrance later!” Tang Feng said.

“Okay,” Su Xiaoli nodded.

Shortly after, the call ended.

Tang Feng dressed himself, got up, and went to the bathroom for a quick wash.

His mother was already preparing breakfast.

His father also came out of his room.

“Dad, I’m going to Uncle Su’s company later. Do you guys have any plans for the morning?” Tang Feng asked.

“Your mom and I are going to the restaurant this morning to see about transferring it,” his father replied.

“Okay! In the afternoon, we’ll go to Emperor Square for a walk and talk to the boss,” Tang Feng said.

“Do you really plan to let us open a supermarket?” his father asked.

“Of course! If possible, I hope the scale of the supermarket can continue to expand and eventually become a listed company,” Tang Feng replied.

“A single supermarket might not be feasible, right?” his father asked.

“One certainly won’t be enough. At the very least, we need to open dozens, even hundreds. But let’s not worry about that for now. The most important thing is to run the first supermarket well,” Tang Feng responded.

“Have you two washed your hands? Get ready to eat!” their mother called them.

Tang Feng and his father sat down at the dining table.

After eating, Tang Feng drove to Lirui Winery.

The scale of the winery was not very large.

Su Xiaoli was already waiting for him at the entrance.

“Where’s Uncle Su?” Tang Feng got out of the car and asked with a smile.

“He’s holding a morning meeting for the staff! Let’s go to his office first!” Su Xiaoli replied.

Then, the two went to Su Gang’s office.

Su Gang’s office had a bookshelf.

Tang Feng picked out a book from the shelf and flipped through it.

After a while, Su Gang came in from outside.

Tang Feng put down the book.

“Xiaoli, didn’t you take Xiao Feng around the company?” Su Gang asked.

“No!” Su Xiaoli shook her head, saying, “We came straight to your office.”

“In that case, I’ll take you both for a tour,” Su Gang replied.

Then, under Su Gang’s lead, they came to the production workshop.

It was Tang Feng’s first time seeing how wine was produced.

Dozens of workers were surrounding a semi-automatic production line, filling bottles.

“Uncle Su, the efficiency of this production line is really too low. How many bottles can it produce in an hour?” Tang Feng asked.

“About 1000 bottles per hour,” Su Gang replied.

“Is this the only production line?” Tang Feng continued to ask.

“Yes,” Su Gang nodded, saying, “This line can produce about ten thousand bottles a day.”

“The efficiency of the production line is too low. It seems we need to find a way to introduce a new production line,” Tang Feng said.

“A new production line is too expensive! I once thought about buying a latest production line, which would cost about five million. Of course, the reason I didn’t buy it, besides the cost consideration, was also due to concerns about the reality. After all, even if such a good production line was bought, given the current sales situation of the company, the utilization rate would probably be very low,” Su Gang said.

“Uncle Su, how about this? I’ll give you a few wine formulas later, and then you produce them according to the formulas! Take the produced wine to the wine expo! If there’s no problem, you should be able to win a gold award! By that time, I believe the name Lirui Winery will be known to more consumers. Then, I’ll direct traffic to your company’s products on Jianbao Network. This way, we can increase sales in the shortest time,” Tang Feng negotiated.

“Sure! What’s not to be okay with that! Little Feng, don’t worry! Uncle won’t treat you badly! If you’re willing, this company can be yours and Xiaoli’s. I’ll transfer all the shares of the company to you,” Su Gang hurriedly offered.

“No need!” Tang Feng waved his hand, saying, “The company is yours! I’m just helping out! There’s no need to give the shares to Xiaoli, she’s now the chairman of an investment company, and already has her own career.”

“Xiaoli, did I hear wrong? You’re now the chairman of an investment company?” Su Gang appeared somewhat surprised.

“Yes,” Su Xiaoli nodded, saying, “I’ve established an investment company.”

“Investment is risky, you must be cautious,” Su Gang advised.

“I know. But now, China’s economy is growing rapidly, there’s much to be done in investment!” Su Xiaoli responded.

“I really didn’t expect, you guys are still in your freshman year and already have your own business. When I was your age, I was still working as an apprentice in a factory,” Su Gang couldn’t help but sigh.

“Uncle Su, times are different. Back then, whether it was a technical secondary school or a junior college, jobs were assigned. Now, let alone junior colleges, even university graduates have to find their own jobs. In the future, academic qualifications will become increasingly devalued, and there will be more and more university students. The number of young people willing to work in factories will definitely decrease,” Tang Feng said.

“Anyway, I’m very happy that you have your own business. Although I really want Xiaoli to take over and continue to run the winery, I’m clear in my heart that it’s impossible. Even if you hadn’t started a business, as talented students from the Jingcheng University, you could have found a very good job,” Su Gang said.

“Uncle Su, let’s not talk about that for now. Here are the formulas for three types of wine,” Tang Feng handed them over.

“How long do these wines need to be aged in oak barrels?” Su Gang asked as he took them.

“At least one year,” Tang Feng replied.

“That means it’ll be a year before we can participate in the wine expo?” Su Gang’s eyebrows furrowed.

“About that. Uncle Su, you’ve been in business for so many years, you should know some things can’t be rushed. And I think since you’ve worked in the wine industry for so many years, you can totally do the entire industry chain,” Tang Feng suggested.

“I get your point! Are you suggesting I start from grape cultivation?” Su Gang asked.
