Chapter 22: Dad's Private Money
Sun Tao hesitated again and again, but finally agreed to Li Dong's invitation.
Not only because of the incentive of shares, but more importantly, Li Dong has ambitions.
If Li Dong was only satisfied with the small place of Dongping, to be honest, even if he had shares, Sun Tao would not agree.
A county-level supermarket, no matter how high the profit is, he Sun Tao is not very old, but he doesn't want to retire in Dongping for the rest of his life.
Even if he earns three or five million a year, he Sun Tao only gets three or five hundred thousand, so it is better to go to other places to fight.
The key is the prospect that Li Dong described to him, first gaining a foothold in Dongping, then infiltrating the surrounding counties and cities, raising the banner, expanding fame, and finally marching into the provincial capital, surrounding the city with the countryside......
It sounds like a fool, but when he heard that Li Dong was still a senior in high school, and Dongping's supermarket funds were all earned by himself, Sun Tao immediately believed Li Dong.
There's no way, he doesn't understand the world of cattle.
He was a good student when he was eighteen years old, but when he was eighteen years old, he had a supermarket with millions of assets, and this was the gap.
Although the arrogant Sun Tao was not convinced by Li Dong, he felt that it was not an insult to him to give Li Dong a hand.
……
When Li Dong returned to Dongping, he was relaxed.
Sun Tao has already agreed, give him some time to deal with Pingchuan's affairs, and he will go to Dongping to take charge of the overall situation in a week or so.
Li Dong believes in Sun Tao's ability, if he can't even get a supermarket of no more than 3,000 square meters, then he had better leave obediently, and even the reputation of Carrefour will be ruined.
There are dividend incentives, and Sun Tao still owes 800,000 foreign debts, Li Dong is not worried that the guy will not care.
got rid of the biggest trouble, and the next big trouble for Li Dong is the college entrance examination.
Today is May 8th, there is only one month before the college entrance examination, the time is very urgent, Li Dong has asked for leave again in the past two days, and Lao Chen almost didn't spray him to death.
If it weren't for Li Dong's good performance in the mock exam, and his ranking rose eight or nine places, Chen Guohua would never have allowed this guy to take a leave of absence.
Even so, Chen Guohua's face is not very good-looking.
When he got home, it was already half past three in the afternoon, and Li Dong hastily made two bites of food and prepared to go to the vegetable market.
Before I could go out, my phone rang urgently.
Glancing at the number, Li Dong frowned slightly, answered the phone and laughed softly: "Brother Xu, hello!"
“……”
After seven or eight minutes of talking, Li Dong put down the phone.
His brow was always furrowed, and the call brought down his previously high mood.
The call was from one of the three lobster suppliers in Dongping, and nothing else, that is, in May, the purchase price of lobster rose.
The weather has gradually warmed up in May, more people are eating lobster than before, and the price of lobster has also risen.
In the past, they supplied Li Dong with two yuan a catty, but just now they said on the phone that it has risen to three yuan, and asked Li Dong if he still wants it.
Although he had long expected such a day, seeing that Bai Huahua's income had shrunk in an instant, Li Dong still felt painful.
Li Dong knows that the price increase has just begun, and when it enters June, the price difference between Pingchuan and Dongping will gradually flatten, and there will be no room for him to live at that time.
In the next hour, Li Dong received calls from several donors, all of whom said that the price would be raised, and the market in several surrounding counties would be similar, so the price increase would naturally not be one.
One by one, he told those suppliers to continue to supply, and Li Dong also made a few phone calls to Pingchuan.
The results are not too good, although the lobster market in Pyongcheon is also hot, but the price has not changed much, and the wholesale price has not yet risen for the time being.
Sitting on the sofa and pondering for a while, Li Dong finally adjusted his mentality.
"After all, it's not a serious business, and I've made more than two million until now, so what's not to be satisfied with. Li Dong muttered in a low voice, which can be regarded as self-comfort.
And it's not that the business has to be done all of a sudden, it's just that it makes less money, and according to the current profit, there are still fifty or sixty thousand a day.
Now there are about 20 days before the end of the month, and the price should not change much during this time, that is, there is at least more than one million dollars in the account.
With the addition of six or seven hundred thousand in his card, it should be no problem to make up two million.
With 2 million, throw away the 1.1 million for decoration, the remaining money is enough for the supermarket's later capital needs.
When the supermarket is officially opened, there will be income, and the repayment of loans and employees' salaries should be more than enough.
Breathing a sigh of relief, looking up at the time again, it was already half past seven, Li Dong didn't expect that he would think about it for so long.
Mom and Dad will be back soon, Qin Yuhan can't come out at night, and after thinking about it, he has nothing to do, so he should read the book and review his homework.
……
When Li Chengyuan and Cao Fang went home, they saw Li Dong reading carefully in the room, and both of them had smiles on their faces.
After calling Li Dong out to eat, Cao Fang said with concern: "Son, this is about to take the exam, are you sure?"
Li Chengyuan glared at her, pretending not to care: "Don't listen to your mother, just take the test hard, no matter which school you go to, we have no opinion." ”
Li Dong didn't see the eye interaction between the two, and said nonchalantly: "It shouldn't be a big problem, anyway, the undergraduate is nine out of ten." ”
"So sure?
Cao Fang continued to ask, there is a gap between the first and second books.
"One copy, it should be about the same. After drinking the soup in the bowl, Li Dong touched his belly to eat.
Cao Fang was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Good son, go to the market at noon tomorrow to eat, and my mother will buy you something delicious to replenish your brain." ”
"Don't!"
Li Dong's face turned green, and he smiled bitterly: "Mom, who told you what to eat and what to supplement, is the pig's brain for people to eat?"
Last time, my mother said that she would make up for his brain, but it turned out that there was a stewed pig's brain with gastrodia, and Li Dong almost vomited.
"Who said that you can't make up your brain, what do children know, but I asked a lot of people to say so. ”
Cao Fang muttered a few words, and saw that her son's face was not good-looking, so she had to dispel this idea.
Li Chengyuan listened to the conversation between the mother and son silently, although he didn't say it, his heart was tight.
If his son can really take the undergraduate exam, it will still be a book, then it will really be smoke on the ancestral grave of the Li family.
The first three generations of the Li family were born poor peasants, and it was not until Li Chengyuan's generation began to work in the city, and the two brothers in the family were both old and rough people with little education.
If you train a college student for Lao Li's family, then you will have to save face when you go back to the grave in the future.
Li Chengyuan was overjoyed in his heart, he was tired all day and now he didn't even have the heart to sleep, he just wanted to chat with his son.
Seeing Cao Fang pack up the dishes and chopsticks and go to the kitchen, Li Chengyuan lowered his voice and said, "Dongzi, when you are admitted to university, Dad will buy you a computer!"
Li Dong was startled, looked back at the kitchen, and asked in a low voice, "Dad, have you hidden private money?"
Computers are not cheap these days, and Li Dong used to like to play games on the Internet, Cao Fang would never approve of buying a computer for Li Dong.
Then Li Chengyuan said that he was definitely not using his family's money, but only his own private money.
Li Chengyuan smiled, a little proud, squeezed his eyebrows and said: "I have saved it for several years, and I originally thought that one day I would make money to make up for some larger houses, so that you can marry your daughter-in-law in the future." ”
"But if you can get into a good university, you will definitely have to go to a big city in the future, and Dad's money will be useless when the time comes, so it is better to buy you a computer." ”
Li Chengyuan said it simply, but Li Dong felt uncomfortable listening to it.
Dad has been suffering all his life, and he finally has some private money, and he still thinks about himself, so he has never thought about himself.
In his previous life, my father didn't buy a computer for himself, he must have thought that the university he was admitted to was not very good, and when he could use the money in the future, he must have wanted to save it to buy a house for himself.
It's a pity that in the end, the money should have been used for treatment, and after saving a lifetime, it was finally given to the hospital.
Seeing that Li Dong was silent, Li Chengyuan thought that he was happy, and said happily: "Boy, don't tell your mother, when you finish the college entrance examination, I will secretly buy it for you." ”
"Well, I don't say. Dad, you better keep this money for yourself, I have money......"
"You have a lot of money, don't save your pocket money, and if you buy a computer, you will definitely buy it, but I don't usually need it anyway. Li Chengyuan interrupted Li Dong's words and said with a final word.
Li Dong couldn't cry or laugh, he wanted to say something, but he paused and still didn't speak.
