Chapter 28: Family Meeting
After school, Zhou Yi did not go home with the students of Zhuangshang, but deliberately stayed in school. After there were no familiar people around, Zhou Yi entered the office of the village committee of Hanzhao Village, not far from the elementary school. After the phone was connected, Zhou Yi didn't say much, just asked Liu Siyuan to come to Sizhen County this weekend, and asked him for help if he had something, Liu Siyuan didn't ask much, and agreed very happily.
Early on Saturday morning, Zhou Yi followed the car to the county seat, and not long after standing in the square in front of the TV station, Liu Siyuan's brand-new Ford car stopped beside Zhou Yi.
"Haven't you eaten yet?" asked Zhou Yi after getting into the car.
"Ate a little on the way. By the way, with this, every time you look for me, or I look for you, it's hard to die, I'll drag someone to get it for you. I bought you the phone card yesterday, you can call with confidence, there is enough money in it. After speaking, Liu Siyuan threw over a rectangular box, and Zhou Yi took it to see that it was a Nokia brand mobile phone, but the specific model was not indicated. After opening the box and seeing the slender mobile phone, Zhou Yi couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
"Why, can't you look at it?" Seeing Monday shaking his head, Liu Siyuan asked suspiciously.
"It's okay, it's okay. However, I still like to keep a low profile when I carry my phone to school. Zhou Yi really can't look down on the mobile phone at this time, but after thinking about it, he can't ask for anything, being able to call is Zhou Yi's biggest request now.
"You turn off the sound, you usually put it away, don't you just take it out. Liu Siyuan said with a smile.
"Yes, then I'll take it with me. Zhou Yi turned on the phone, and Nokia's unique boot screen flashed.
"The boss is urgently summoned this time, do you have any good ideas to make money?" Liu Siyuan continued jokingly.
"This time it has nothing to do with the company. That's how I came to you this time......" Next, Zhou Yi said in detail what he asked Liu Siyuan to do.
"It's a blessing to be your relative. After listening, Liu Siyuan said with emotion. "Well, I'll be the king of lies. ”
In the evening, Zhou Yi told his parents the fabricated identity of Liu Siyuan, and also said that Liu Siyuan came this time for a reason.
After dinner, Liu Siyuan opened the conversation: "Uncle, aunt, I came here this time because I was entrusted by my mother. You must also know that my mother recognized Xiao An as her godson, and her love for Xiao An is closer than my own son. My mother also knows that your family is not doing very well, so in order for Xiao'an to live a good life, my mother asked me to come over and fully support your family's business. My mom thinks so, now, your family is running a passenger transport business, so my mom is going to lend you some more money to expand the passenger transport business. To expand your business, you have to have someone, so uncle, you recruit some good relatives in your family to drive for your family, give them wages, and then give some dividends, and strive to expand the business in a short time. What do you see, uncle?"
Liu Siyuan estimated that it was the first time to speak as Xu Li's son or the first time to lie, so he said it a little messy, but he still made the meaning clear.
"This ......" After listening to Liu Siyuan's words, Zhou Ziyan and Zhou Xiaohua suddenly felt a little difficult to handle. Zhou Ziyan just wanted to refuse, but since he drove for a while, his ambition couldn't help but be much greater. What Liu Siyuan said to him made him very tempted, but he also knew that expanding his business required a lot of capital, and the capital was not small, so he was a little hesitant to always take land as his companion.
"Uncle, don't be afraid of no money, let me tell you the truth, money is not a difficult thing for my mother. My mom has prepared plenty of money. As for the repayment of the money, don't worry about it, my mother said, when your family earns the money, let's talk about the repayment. ”
"What do you say, Xiao'an's mother?" It seemed that Zhou Ziyan was moved, but he still didn't dare to make a decision.
"I don't know, you can make up your own mind. Zhou Xiaohua didn't know what to do, so he had to listen to her husband.
"Dad, what else are you thinking about, I'll tell you. You see, my second and third masters have learned to drive from my father, and my eldest aunt can also drive, so as long as they go to get a driver's license, they can drive. My fourth master and my little aunt need to go to school, and they can postpone the arrangement. As for my grandmother and my father and my sister-in-law, I want to open a small supermarket for them on the street and let them take care of the daily operations. As for my uncle, he is not in good health, so he should not drive a long-distance bus, just drive a bus from the county seat to the township of my grandmother's house. My grandmother and my grandfather took my aunt to open a bigger store, and my uncle was ...... because of that brain. That's a little ...... Han, so he followed my grandmother to open a shop and work as a porter. First of all, buy two buses, one to run to Donglu City, the provincial capital, and one to Jiangning City, Nansu Province. My grandmother's house and my grandmother's house are implemented at the same time in a supermarket and a store. How about it, Dad, I've got you covered. ”
"Look at my son, his father hasn't thought about it yet, but he's thought about everything. Okay, so decided, we'll do it. Zhou Ziyan clenched his fists and said in a firm tone. "Eh, by the way, how much does this cost?"
"No more, no more, spend it first, and when all the things are done at the end, then calculate the total amount of money spent. As for what messy formalities and buying a car, you don't need your dad to come forward, and my brother is OK in everything. Zhou Yi said instead of Liu Siyuan.
After convincing my father, the next thing to do was to call these relatives together to discuss. The next day, Zhou Yi began to inform relatives of which day to discuss things on Zhou Yi. At the end of the notice, only his aunt was left on Monday. There's no way, Zhou Yi's aunt and aunt are doing a small business in Jiangning. What kind of small business, Zhou Yi heard his grandmother say that he was setting up a stall in Jiangning to sell small things. Finally, under the vigorous rummaging of my grandmother, I finally found out the contact number left by my aunt. After Zhou Yi dialed the phone, an old voice came out of the phone: "Hey, who are you looking for?"
"Hey, hello uncle, I'm looking for Mao Zhenlin!" Zhou Yi said politely.
"Oh, come back in the evening, he's out to set up a stall. The old man heard Zhou Yi's polite voice, and his voice became kind.
"Well, okay. Thank you, uncle. Zhou Yi hung up the phone.
"Grandma, I'll go home first, remember to go to my house the day after tomorrow. Zhou Yi walked into his grandmother's house and said to his grandmother who was playing poker with the people in the village.
"What are you going to do when you go home, stay here tonight, I'll buy a chick for you to eat, I haven't been here for a long time, don't leave." Zhou Yi's grandmother said in a resolute tone.
"No, grandma, I have to go to school tomorrow, and I'll come back next time. ”
"School tomorrow?"
"Well, so be sure to go back tonight. ”
"Well, then you can go home, next time you come with your mother. ”
"Got it. Then I'm leaving, grandma. ”
"Ride slowly on the road, stay on the side of the road, don't rush, you know?" said my grandmother uneasy.
"Got it. Zhou Yi got on his bicycle and drove home. After returning home, seeing that it was getting dark, Zhou Yi went to the toilet and made another call to Nanjing. This time, his eldest aunt Mao Zhenlin finally answered the phone. Zhou Yi solemnly told his eldest aunt that after going home and discussing important matters, his eldest aunt Mao Zhenlin finally agreed to come back.
On Tuesday night, Zhou Yi's relatives gathered at Zhou Yi's house, and after eating the food cooked by the aunts and mothers in the evening, the first family meeting of Zhou Yi's family was officially held.
"Dad, I'll tell you for you!" Seeing that his father was a little hesitant, Zhou Yi took the initiative to stand up and say.
"Okay, Xiao'an, you have a sharp mouth, you come on. Father Zhou Ziyan said.
"My grandmother, my father, my grandmother, my grandfather's father......" Zhou Yi called one by one, and then said: "What about me, there is a rich godmother, in order to let me live a good life, the godmother decided to lend money to my family to expand my family's business, as for which aspect of the business to expand, I discussed it with my father and decided to divide it into different aspects." And to expand the business, there is another point that someone must help, which is why we are calling you here today. Let me first talk about the specific ideas, first of all, my grandmother, my father and my sister-in-law will open a small supermarket in the town, and no one will have a salary of 800 yuan per month plus 20% of the profit per person; The rest of the people are pulling to do passenger transport business, my uncle, because the health is not too good, he will not drive long-distance, just drive the bus from Xu He to Sizhen County, the salary is 1,000 a month plus 30% of the profit, and the ticket is sold by my aunt, and the salary is 1,000 plus 10% of the profit. When my uncle gets married in the future, I will let my aunt sell it with me, and the salary will be the same as my aunt's. As for my aunt, she will help the supermarket to help my grandmother, and the salary will remain unchanged for 1,000, and the profit will be divided into 20%. As for the money to buy a car and open a shop, my dad will pay for it. What do you think? My grandmother, my father, ......" After talking about the arrangements of the old people, Zhou Yi paused and asked.
"What does it mean to make a profit of 20 percent?" asked Grandma on Monday. He understands the salary, and he knows that it is quite high.
"Twenty percent profit means that if we make 100 yuan a month, we can get 20 yuan each in addition to our salary. If you earn 1,000 a month, you can get 200 more per person, which means that the more you earn, the more you get. "Zhou Yi's sister-in-law Yuan Mei, who went to junior high school, knows a little.
As soon as Zhou Yi's sister-in-law finished speaking, everyone muttered and discussed. Zhou Yi did not interject, but quietly waited for the two families to discuss. After about ten minutes, Grandma Zhou Yi took the lead in agreeing, but she asked suspiciously: "How much does it cost to borrow so much money?"
"Mom, don't worry, all this money was borrowed by Xiao'an's godmother on his own initiative, and his godmother said that when he will make money and when he will pay it back, he really can't pay it back, and they don't care about this money. Of course, you don't have to worry, you can take what you should take every month, and we will just worry about repaying the money. ”
"Well, since you've all decided, do it. Party committee, I don't want your father and me to share the profits, let's just get some salary. Grandma Zhou Yi sighed and said worriedly, but he still cared about his son's affairs and took the initiative to give up his share of profits.
"Yes, Xiaohua, what do I and your father come from, oh don't share any profits, we can just get some salary, save more money and pay back people quickly." Your uncle's health is not good, so it's just a short trip. However, although she is Xiao'an's godmother, after all, she is not familiar with us, and it is better to pay back the money as soon as possible. Zhou Yi's grandmother also took the initiative to give up the profit share.
"My grandmother, my grandmother, you don't have to think too much about this, don't mention the profit sharing, my dad and I have decided, and it's decided. Zhou Yi said categorically.
