Because the first three months are a dangerous period for easy miscarriage, Lin Zhuoyun is just 11 weeks pregnant, and this Spring Festival will be spent directly in Shenghai.

Song Weiyang naturally has to accompany her, and he may go back to his hometown alone on the first few days of the New Year, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner will be eaten at his grandfather's house. My cousin Li Tingting graduated from Fudan in half a year, and he has no career pursuits, he just wants to be stable, and he seems to be planning to take the civil service exam.

My cousin's son is about three years old, and he is a little afraid of life, so he hides behind the adults when he sees Song Weiyang.

My aunt is a big family, and now she can be regarded as a well-off family. Contracting the canteen of Shenzhou Technology for three years, removing various costs and taxes, it can have a net profit of nearly 100,000 yuan per year. This is because the quality and quantity of the meals are guaranteed, and they are more conscientious, and they can earn more by changing to other contractors.

Maybe it's because of the impact of the torrent of humanity, or maybe it's because my eldest cousin was disabled in a car accident that year. Anyway, from grandfather to aunt, uncle, to cousin and cousin, their whole family doesn't like tossing. His mentality of being rich and safe is very different from that of Song Weiyang's father and son.

On the 30th day of the Lunar New Year, my cousin-in-law was holding the child and teaching Lin Zhuoyun about her pregnancy experience.

Aunt Song Weihong finished the things in the kitchen, quietly called Song Weiyang to the back room, and said mysteriously: "Xiao Yang, my aunt asked you something." ”

"You say. Song Weiyang said.

Song Weihong said: "Shenghai's house prices are rising very quickly now, will they fall in the future?"

"It may go down a little bit cyclically every few years, but in the long run it will definitely go up, and it's going up. Does my aunt want to buy a house again?" said Song Weiyang.

Song Weihong said: "Thanks to you, my aunt has also saved some money in the canteen, about 200,000 yuan." Now the bank interest rate is much lower than before, and your grandfather said that it is not cost-effective to store it in the bank, so let your uncle and I take out a loan to buy a house. I really don't know the bottom in my heart, this loan to buy a house has to pay interest, how can it be properly put in the bank?"

"Buy it, grandpa is right. Song Weiyang said.

"Then I'll buy it, but I have to save another year, and I will buy it again when I have a deposit of 300,000 yuan, so that I can pay off the mortgage a little less every month. Song Weihong said carefully.

Song Weiyang said with a smile: "If you want to buy, buy it as soon as possible, you see how much the house price has risen last year? ”

Song Weihong hesitated for a few seconds, gritted his teeth and said: "That's okay, I'll buy a house after the New Year, you will definitely not be wrong if you are a capable person." It's better to buy a lot in the city, the area doesn't need to be too big, and you can rent it out if you don't live in it. ”

Replaced by Song Weiyang or Song Shumin's father and son, or even the eldest brother Song Qizhi, when he only has 200,000 deposits in hand, he will definitely take out all kinds of tosses. Either you lose all your money, or you become a rich man, and the possibility of choosing to buy a house for investment is zero.

I can't say which way of life is the right one, just suit you.

Speaking of which, grandpa's investment vision is really good, and he will definitely see through the real estate market at a glance. After all, before the liberation, my grandmother's family was a real estate developer in Shenghai, and more than half a century has passed, and the core operation of real estate has not changed much.

After lunch, Li Tingting wanted to buy a mobile phone, she was about to graduate from college, and it was more convenient to do anything with a mobile phone.

Uncle Li Chenggong said carefully: "Don't go outside to buy, our family opens a canteen in Shenzhou Technology, and you can get the internal employee price if you buy a Shenzhou mobile phone." ”

"Oh. "Li Tingting is very obedient.

Li Chenggong said: "Don't buy too expensive children, a mobile phone of a few hundred yuan is enough, no matter how good the mobile phone is, it is also used to make calls?"

Song Weiyang said with a smile: "Let's go, Tingting, I'll accompany you to the Spring Festival shopping and call my cousin and sister-in-law too." ”

My cousin and sister-in-law didn't go out in the end, especially after the riot operation that year, my cousin-in-law's family was extremely afraid of Song Weiyang, and even the little couple were estranged from Song Weiyang. It's not that he is resentful in his heart, but he is a little afraid of Song Weiyang, and he regards Song Weiyang as a big man on top, and it is inevitable that he will be angry and embarrassed when he gets along.

Lin Zhuoyun didn't go shopping with her, there were many people shopping during the Spring Festival, and she was afraid of squeezing the baby into her belly.

Even on the afternoon of the 30th day of the Lunar New Year, the mall is full of people, and if it is advanced or postponed by two days, there will only be more people shopping, and gifts and electrical appliances are the best-sellers.

Since the implementation of the May Day and National Day holidays, the tourism industry has also risen and fallen rapidly, and even the Chinese New Year is called the "Spring Festival Golden Week".

Especially Shenghai, during the Spring Festival, there are many tourists to explode, part of them come to Shenghai for tourism and shopping, mainly because the domestic economic development is unbalanced at this time, many commodities in the inland area can not be bought, Shenghai as an international metropolis, travel here and go to the port city has the same effect; part of it is to travel abroad, they need to come to Shenghai to transfer to the plane, from Shenghai to Southeast Asia and Australia the most tourists, to the port city and bend tourists will choose to take the special zone.

In 2002, there were already many people in China who got rich first, and the outbound tourism business began to become booming. Anyway, it's not bad money, during the Spring Festival, the price of a five-day tour for two people directly rose to 3,400 yuan, which is already a few months' salary for ordinary workers.

China's economy is suddenly better, but last year's Spring Festival was very difficult.

However, after China's accession to the WTO, the overall quality of goods in China has declined somewhat. Because everyone who has the ability to do exports, they sell high-quality products abroad, and the domestic market is discriminated against, and the impact of this change is very far-reaching.

Perhaps in another decade, "export to domestic sales" will become a funny meme, and it is somewhat ironic. But now it is synonymous with high-quality products, because in the public's impression, only the best products can be exported, and under the sign of export to domestic sales, it can be more recognized by consumers.

So the merchant's operation began, for example, a certain brand of mattresses, registered a leather bag company in Italy, shipped out of domestic production and branded, and then sold back to China can increase the price several times, and because of the foreign name is also sought after.

Song Weiyang took his cousin to wander around the major shopping malls, which can be regarded as looking for an opportunity to connect with the ground, and by the way, actually feel the terminal market.

Finally came to the mobile phone counter, Song Weiyang found that the mobile phone store had begun to be segmented.

At the beginning, Gome, Suning and other shopping malls sold mobile phones, and they all opened several large counters, and mobile phones of various brands were sold together. Nowadays, the counters are differentiated by brand, and many mobile phone store owners who have been crowded out of their doors have turned into single-brand terminal merchants and settled in shopping malls for professional sales.

"Just choose one, there's no need to look at my face and just buy a Shenzhou mobile phone, I'll pay for the style I pick, and I will treat it as a graduation gift I gave you in advance." Song Weiyang said.

Li Tingting didn't twist either, and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

The most conspicuous counter is still Nokia, but Song Weiyang was surprised to find that the most consumers buy Motorola!

In two months, the mobile phone market survey data for the first quarter of 2002 will be released, and the national mobile phone industry will be a sensation. Because after many years, Motorola has once again become the hegemon of China's mobile phone sales, and its market share is directly behind Nokia by a full 5 percentage points, which was unimaginable last year.

The main reason is that Motorola's localization strategy has worked, purchasing a large number of components produced in China and moving its core component factories to China. In this way, Motorola has a price advantage over Nokia. Moreover, in order to expand sales, Motorola is almost crazy, and announced on New Year's Day that it will launch 7 new products this year, and two have been launched in a row from New Year's Day to the Spring Festival.

The performance of domestic mobile phones has also made market observers look sideways.

Shenzhou mobile phones rushed to third place in one fell swoop, second only to Motorola and Nokia in terms of sales. Bird mobile phone is fourth, TCL mobile phone is fifth, followed by Siemens, Samsung, Alcatel and Sony Ericsson.

That is to say, in the first quarter of this year, among the top five mobile phone sales in China, domestic mobile phones accounted for three places. Suo Ai, a foreign brand that once ranked in the top three, fell directly to the ninth place this year, and has almost been surpassed by the domestic Xia Xin mobile phone.

As for Kejian, the domestic mobile phone overlord in the previous two years, it was directly listed as "other brands" in the market survey data this year. This is a brand that has entered the National Torch Program, and even during an international conference, foreign participants were given a Kejian mobile phone, and all kinds of meeting notices were contacted by Kejian mobile phone.

Perhaps it is the entry into the National Torch Program that has made Kejian mobile phones decline so quickly.

State-owned enterprises, or listed state-owned enterprises, all parties are blushing and running to get a piece of the pie. Even Zhang Hai, who wanted to acquire Jianlibao, was one of the shareholders of Kejian, and many shareholders made Kejian a miasma. They don't take the market seriously at all, but continue to release good news, such as reaching a strategic partnership with a multinational company, setting up a research and development center in South Korea, investing millions of pounds to sponsor a Premier League team, etc., just thinking about raising the stock price to get a vote and leaving.

As a result, in 2002, when it was reduced to "other brands", Kejian was actually the most well-known domestic mobile phone in the country, and it was possible to see the news in the newspaper every once in a while.

Li Tingting walked around several mobile phone counters, saying that this was not good and that he didn't like it, and finally came to the monopoly counter of Shenzhou Mobile Phone. She didn't pick the most expensive one, nor did she pick the cheapest one, she chose a Shenzhou mobile phone of more than 1,000 yuan and said: "Cousin, this is good!"

Song Weiyang smiled: "That's okay, just buy this one." ”

"Two handsome guys and beauties, you really chose the right one, this Shenzhou T310, the shipment has been very high. The price is very affordable, the quality is very good, you look at its appearance...... "After all, it is a clerk who specializes in selling Shenzhou mobile phones, and he feels wrong when he talks about it, and he looks at Song Weiyang in surprise and says, "You, you, you...... You won't be ...... Right?"

"Shhhhhh

The clerk suppressed her excitement and whispered, "Are you really Boss Song?" Oh, I adore you very much, and our store manager also admires you very much. Look at the wall behind the counter, it's a photo printed out by our store manager!"

On the wall is a photo of Song Weiyang.

As for the worship, I'm afraid it's fake, the store manager is good at business, and uses Song Weiyang's photos to promote it for free, so as to fool consumers into buying Shenzhou mobile phones.

Li Tingting was extremely excited to get the first mobile phone in his life, and he kept looking at it over and over again, and said sweetly: "Thank you, cousin, our mobile phone is really beautiful." ”

Song Weiyang asked, "Have you thought about what unit you will go to after graduation?"

Li Tingting said: "I don't know, waiting for the civil service examination, you can enter any unit if you can be admitted, but it is best to be able to match professionally." ”

Song Weiyang asked, "What major did you study?"

Li Tingting said: "International finance. ”

"Good professional," Song praised, "China has now joined the WTO, and the government is in urgent need of relevant talents." In this way, after the Spring Festival, you don't go back to school, I recommend you to go to the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade for an internship. When the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission recruits students, you will register for the exam. ”

Li Tingting asked quite seriously: "Is this the legendary back door?"

Song Weiyang said with a smile: "Recommending you to go to the CCPIT is a back door, but you have to rely on your ability in the public examination, at least you must pass the written exam." As long as you have a good internship at the CCPIT and master more practical situations and skills, I don't need to take special care of the public examination interview at all. Of course, in order to avoid being maliciously squeezed down, I will still help you say hello. ”

Li Tingting said happily: "It's good to have a cousin!"
