The success of the Liaocheng store made Wei Wei even more ambitious. The next day after returning to Guhe, he asked Xiao Yuanhang to talk about continuing to open a chain store. According to her idea, he prepared three stores in Beijing, Donghai and Lingnan to work together. This time, Xiao Yuanhang did not agree. He believed that the rapid development was not conducive to the development of Moxiang Stationery.

Because the ink-flavor stationery was only one year after its birth, and it basically developed from a school-run factory. Its foundation is too thin and its foundation will not be even more abundant. If it is fully deployed, funds will also be a big problem. He cannot invest all the money earned by Guoren Company here. In addition to the development of Guoren Company, the more important thing is that he has to invest the money in Japan's economic crisis in 1989.

Wei Wei's enthusiasm was hit and he was a little dissatisfied with Xiao Yuanhang, so he broke up with him: "Look, the new factory of the stationery factory is about to be handed over, the machinery and equipment have been bought back, and the workers have also recruited a batch. During the training, once the new factory is built, it can be produced in large quantities immediately. In addition, Director Liu has developed more than 20 varieties of stationery. It is far from enough to rely on a wholesale department and a joint store. If you don't seize this opportunity to promote it comprehensively, you may lose the best opportunity."

Xiao Yuanhang said: "But I think it is not the best opportunity for promotion now. It is okay to open a few stores with the funds we have. But do you have management talents? Jin Hui and Minghao went to Liaocheng and the other was about to go to Japan. Even they were both rushing to put them on the shelves. They were so big that they could barely maintain the situation. If the three stores in Beijing, Donghai and Lingnan were opened together, who would you send to manage? You may say that you can hire external management talents, but can you trust external recruits? This is a business and is related to a large amount of funds. Have you ever thought about it?"

Wei Wei didn't say anything after hearing Xiao Yuanhang's words. She had never thought about these issues. She just thought about the new factory manager having built it, and her production capacity had improved. She was eager to sell the products to make money. She never thought about the management of the store. If even the person in charge of the store wanted to make money, even a store as big as Liaocheng would be able to see it even if it was a store that was as big as Liaocheng, it would be impossible to see it if it was a flagship store that was pledged by tens of thousands of yuan a month, let alone the flagship store that Beijing, Donghai and Lingnan wanted to build!

Seeing Wei Wei’s voice, Xiao Yuanhang sighed and slowed down and said, “Besides, Beijing, Donghai and Lingnan are not as good as Liaocheng, they are both economic and cultural centers across the country. It is not easy to open a store in such a city and gain a foothold. It is not easy to have good products alone. All aspects of interpersonal relationships must be considered. These places are so far away from us, so we can’t care about anything. Therefore, the person in charge of these three stores is very important. And what we lack is such a person!”

Although Wei Wei's enthusiasm was hit, she was inspired by the Liaocheng store. She believed that opening a Lianying store was a good way to promote the ink-flavor stationery. She looked at Xiao Yuanhang and asked, "What should I do? You can't give up the plan to leave the Lianying store, right?"

Xiao Yuanhang said: "I didn't say I wanted to give up this plan. I also think this plan is correct, but we can't eat fat people in one bite. We should pay attention to the local control and benefit when doing business. Step by step, we can choose to open a continuous store in Beijing, Donghai and Lingnan, which means choosing a city with the most mature conditions to open one. When this continuous store is opened and has a certain impact, we will decide to open the next one."

When Wei Wei heard that Xiao Yuanhang did not denied the plan to open a Lianying store, he just didn't want the three Lianying stores to open together, but came one by one, and suddenly became excited: "Then what city do we think we should open a Lianying store first?"

Xiao Yuanhang said without hesitation: "Of course it's the capital!"

Wei Wei asked: "Why is it the capital instead of the East China Sea?"

Xiao Yuanhang said: "There is no doubt that the capital is the national political, economic and cultural center, and its influence is incomparable to other cities. It has a natural advantage in promoting our Moxiangwen. Although the East China Sea is also very prosperous, its influence is only in the East China region, while the capital radiates across the country. The most important thing is that I have a few influential friends in the capital. They can solve all the official matters, and the East China Sea is just an unknown city for us!"

Wei Wei said excitedly: "It would be great if you have friends in Beijing. We can start to do this immediately."

Xiao Yuanhang shook his head and said, "The time is not yet ripe. With the current production capacity of the Moxiang Stationery Factory, the supply of the wholesale market and Liaocheng store is very barely enough. It is impossible to supply the supply in Beijing. You may be able to say that the new factory will be built soon. Now you are ready to start the production of the new production house and can be put into production. However, new equipment needs to be debugged. Whether mature products can be produced at that time is unknown. Once a problem occurs, it is impossible to provide sufficient supply to the Jingcheng store. Then, even if our Beijing fails, the Jingcheng store is our most important store. Whether the Moxiang Stationery can gain popularity across the country depends on the performance of the Jingcheng store. There is no need to make any mistakes. So, what I mean is that after the new factory and new equipment are put into use, when production is stable and mature products can be produced, consider the problem of opening a store in Beijing. Moreover, this time will not be too long, at most one or two months!"

Xiao Yuanhang analyzed it very well, and Wei Wei was also following the good side and nodded, "Okay, let's do as you said. After the new factory is put into use, we will talk about this issue."

On September 12, 1987, the Tongshui Railway Branch announced a major decision, deciding that from today, the Guhe Locomotive Section and Guhe Station will be officially upgraded to deputy division-level units!

The grassroots units of Tongshui Railway Branch are all in the department level, and there have never been any grassroots units at the deputy department level. This is the biggest change since the history of the New China Railway. The unit upgrades, and the railway insiders are called "flips". This means that the section chief and party secretary of the Guhe Locomotive Section were suddenly upgraded from the department level to the deputy department level, and the same is true for the stationmaster and party secretary of the Guhe Station. The level of the main position has been improved, and the level of the deputy and middle-level cadres has also risen. The deputy stationmaster has been upgraded from the deputy section level to the department level, and the middle-level cadres have been upgraded from the department level to the deputy section level!

Because Guhe Railway Branch is responsible for more than 70% of the train traction tasks of Tongshui Railway Branch, it is the large section with the most personnel and the most traction tasks, and it deserves to be upgraded to a deputy division-level unit. Although Guhe Railway Station is not as large as the locomotive section, it is one of the 38 major marshalling stations in the country, with a daily operation capacity of 2,300 vehicles. It is the only station in the Tongshui Railway Branch that enters the 38 major marshalling stations in the country. Therefore, these two units have become the first batch of upgraded units to Tongshui Railway Branch, and other units can only be envious! (To be continued...)
