Chapter 50: Chicken Soup for the Poor
More than 50,000 yuan is a huge amount of money for Wei Mingrang, who has more than ten years of experience, not to mention the other three freshmen who have just entered the university.
Although the other three have better family conditions than Wei Mingrang, and their parents are both working people, they are not a rich family.
Living together for two years, everyone knows very well how much living expenses each month the family has.
Wei Mingrang 400 yuan per month, Zhou Yi and Yu Yongqiang 600 yuan per month, and Chen Hongliang 800 yuan per month.
Chen Hongliang was the first to buy a mobile phone in the dormitory, and within two months of school, he asked his family for money to buy a flip phone of about 1,000 yuan, which made several other people envious for a while.
Zhou Yi and Yu Yongqiang also bought mobile phones in their sophomore year, and only Wei Mingrang kept using IC cards to call the public phone in the dormitory, until he dropped out of school and worked in the factory after dropping out, he had his first button mobile phone through an activity of charging phone bills and giving away mobile phones.
But now, the richest person in this bedroom is undoubtedly Wei Mingrang.
With more than 50,000 yuan in cash, Wei Mingrang can directly let his family no longer have to pay tuition and living expenses, and his tuition and living expenses for four years of college are basically enough.
Zhou Yi, Chen Hongliang, and Yu Yongqiang were shocked, but also very envious.
Zhou Yi and Yu Yongqiang didn't speak, but Chen Hongliang, who had the best conditions in the family, opened his mouth to put forward the idea of whether they could also do this business.
In their previous lives, Wei Mingrang and Yu Yongqiang were addicted to online novels, Zhou Yi practiced singing every day and played handsome girls, but Chen Hongliang, who had the best conditions in the family, worked hardest.
In four years of college, Chen Hongliang, who is 185 tall, is a member of the school's basketball team, vice president of the student union, and a first-class scholarship winner.
After graduating from university and working for a few years, Chen Hongliang was admitted to a graduate school and successfully graduated, obtaining a master's degree in business administration.
Before his rebirth, Wei Mingrang sometimes reflected that his parents or other villagers often encouraged their children with the phrase "no more than three generations of poor and no more than three generations of rich", or waited for the children of the rich to lose their families and watch jokes with hatred of the rich.
However, Chen Hongliang's example, as well as the education of many rich people he knew, made Wei Mingrang find that most of the children of the rich are more diligent, hard-working, and more understanding of human feelings, and they also develop better than the children of poor families after leaving society.
Children from poor families, with the dividends of reform and opening up, parents have a kind of compensation psychology after a little money, and they don't want their children to live a poor life like when they were young, but they are more spoiled, and finally become unreasonable, ignorant, not hardworking, impolite, and gnawing at the old "poor rich second generation".
The children of wealthy families have all kinds of elite education since kindergarten, coupled with the exposure of their parents to various people, so that they can see more broadly, understand more, aim higher, and finally achieve greater.
As for the stories of poor children counterattacking and rich children losing their families, although there are them, they do not occupy the mainstream, otherwise they would not have become news.
Wei Mingrang's final conclusion is that "no more than three generations of poor and no more than three generations of rich" is just a product of the fact that the concentration of information and resources in ancient times is not obvious.
In modern society, the rich know how to properly cultivate the next generation better than the poor, and the next generation of most rich people is getting better and better.
There were four people in the dormitory in the previous life, Chen Hongliang with the best family conditions worked the hardest, and Wei Ming, who had the worst family conditions, dropped out of school halfway, and he could only say that he was lucky to earn a bite to eat by writing novels, and he also had to thank his wife Yao Qiaolin for the correct encouragement and support.
Children of the poor may not lose in IQ, but in the quality of their parents, family education, growth environment, psychological quality, and emotional intelligence from the beginning of birth.
Children from poor families may study harder and take charge earlier, but their grasp of opportunities and initiative are just like the difference between Chen Hongliang and Zhou Yi and Yu Yongqiang.
Zhou Yi and Yu Yongqiang may not have the idea of doing this business and trying to make a profit. But maybe he didn't want to trouble, maybe he didn't have enough capital, or maybe he was afraid that he would feel embarrassed to compete with Wei Mingrang, etc., so he didn't take the lead in speaking.
And Chen Hongliang is much more bold and frank, and when he sees this opportunity, he speaks directly.
In fact, even if Chen Hongliang didn't speak, Wei Mingrang himself intended to take them to make a fortune.
Otherwise, no matter how good the character of the three of them is, just looking at Wei Mingrang to make money, and if they continue to help Wei Mingrang in vain the day after tomorrow, it will inevitably cause estrangement in the future.
In the previous life, when Wei Mingrang dropped out of school, the three of them did not dislike or look down on Wei Mingrang, and they still kept in touch more than ten years after graduation, Chen Hongliang also went all the way to attend his wedding in person, and this friendship alone is worth Wei Mingrang's cherishment.
What's more, Wei Ming's future career may not be without the help of three people.
Therefore, hearing Chen Hongliang speak, Wei Mingrang nodded and said: "Naturally, it is possible, this business is obviously profitable, as long as you invest, you will have to make money." In this way, I ordered 400 sets of bedding from the department store for tomorrow, and the other daily necessities were a little less. Each of you invests 1,000 yuan, and we will add more daily necessities, and set up at least two stalls tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, after the registration is over, and our things are sold out, in addition to their respective capital, each of you will account for 10% of the profit, how about it?"
Before Zhou Yi and Yu Yongqiang could react, Chen Hongliang suddenly waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's too much." Your capital of more than 50,000 yuan, and you have already contacted the source of goods, without us looking for goods, bargaining, looking for a car to delay time, we invest 1,000 yuan, plus a little help, at most 1/50, 2% only. ”
After listening to Chen Hongliang, Zhou Yi and Yu Yongqiang also reacted, shook their heads and said, "No, no, this is too advantageous for you." ”
Wei Mingrang said: "That's wrong, if you don't help me keep the stall and sell it alone, there are only 9 sets for 1,000 yuan, which is obviously much faster, and you can sell it several times in two days, and the profit will be several times." Therefore, it is reasonable to get a 10% share of the profit. ”
Chen Hongliang didn't expect this, after listening to Wei Mingrang say this reason, he suddenly felt reasonable, and he also felt that Wei Mingrang was more kind.
But with a capital of 1,000 yuan per person, 10% of the profit should be shared, plus Wei Mingrang gave them bedding and other daily necessities before, they really felt that they had taken too much advantage of Wei Mingrang.
Without Wei Mingrang, they might not even think of doing this business.
In the first month of school, naturally not everyone will only bring living expenses, as well as the cost of buying other daily necessities from the family.
In the end, the three of them decided to pay 2,000 yuan per person for the purchase of goods, and to share 10% of the profit at the end of the business.
Wei Mingrang also agreed to this plan.
