"You can take this money first, how long can it last, and then figure out how to do it. Ji Ran also gave Huo Wuxian the money he was going to pay for the next semester's tuition.

"No, this is the money you pay for tuition, you can't touch it. Huo Wuxian decisively refused.

"Oh, take it, let's give you emergency help first, maybe after surviving this hurdle, someone will invest in you." Ji Ran stuffed the money into Huo Wuxian's pocket.

"But what if no one comes to invest?" Huo Wuxian asked worriedly.

"If no one comes to invest, sell my pair of gold earrings and jade bracelets. Huo's mother said, took off the jade bracelet in her hand, and put it on the table.

"Mom, no, this is what your grandmother passed on to you, not to mention that you didn't have any good jewelry, now that's all there is to it, how can I ask for it?" Huo Wuxian refused.

"If you go bankrupt, what's the use of me keeping these jewelry? take it, the jewelry is dead, keep it as if it weren't there, if I can help you save you at a critical time, it can be considered a little useful." Huo's mother said, put the jewelry on the table, and turned back to the back room.

Huo Wuxian never thought that this business would be so difficult.

After all, the times are different, and it is no longer the era when you can start a business with a few dollars, and now there is fierce competition in all walks of life.

The reason why Huo Wuxian was able to succeed more than ten years ago was not only his hard work, but also a rare luck.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and luck is also crucial, just like those entrepreneurs who emerged in the reform and opening up, without exception, grew up by the spring breeze of reform.

In that environment, you can make money even with your eyes closed.

Before the reform and opening up, the country did not have a complete industrial system, most of the products and means of production and living could not be produced, at that time, if you opened a factory casually, no matter what you processed and manufactured, it would be in short supply.

I remember in the early 80s, there was an aluminum products factory, and the sales department was crowded with people every day, and many people who came to buy goods had to queue up several days in advance, and they had to pay cash to get the goods.

In those days, even if you were illiterate, you could make a lot of money by opening a factory.

Actually, it's luck.

However, 90 percent of the entrepreneurs who grew up on the spring breeze of reform and opening up quickly fell into decline in the following ten years.

Because they mistake luck for strength, do not want to forge ahead, do not think of innovation, always take the old experience to face the ever-changing market environment, in the end, the higher they fly, the worse they fall, only a very small number of enterprises that keep pace with the times, only really survived.

When Huo Wuxian started his business, he competed with those old entrepreneurs who were backward and conservative, so at that time, Huo Wuxian's competitive pressure was not very large, as long as the idea was right, coupled with hard work, he could slowly defeat those decadent and backward old opponents.

However, now that the times have changed, the current Chinese people are unprecedentedly strong in terms of cognition and innovation ability, and if you have a good idea, maybe others think better than you.

You've worked hard to finally come up with a good story, maybe someone else has already written it badly.

In short, no matter what you do, the competition is extremely strong, and only those who are really talented and learn can withstand the screening of the big waves and sand, and gradually precipitate into real money.

Huo Wuxian can't say that he is unlucky now, he can only say that the times have changed, and the pressure of competition can no longer be the same as more than ten years ago.

Huo Wuxian looked at the four thousand yuan on the table, as well as the gold earrings and jade bracelets donated by his mother, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

"How could I, Huo Wuxian, be so downtrodden? I even bet on my wife and mother's capital. Huo Wuxian shook his head bitterly and said.

"Isn't that great? Then you don't have to worry about anything else, just go ahead, whether you succeed or fail, I will support you and accompany you." Ji Ran smiled and encouraged.

Hearing Ji Ran's encouragement, Huo Wuxian's heart suddenly warmed, this was the most heartwarming word he had ever heard in his life.

"Well, wife, don't worry, I will definitely do my best. Huo Wuxian hugged Ji Ran tightly in his arms, and two lines of excited tears rolled down his eyes.

"Come on, I'm sure my husband won't fail. Ji Ran gently encouraged.

With the encouragement of Ji Ran and Huo's mother, Huo Wuxian finally made up his mind and gave it a go.

Sometimes, it seems that there is no road ahead, as long as you grit your teeth and hold on, you may see the willows and flowers.

Finally, with Huo Wuxian's persistent efforts, he finally ushered in a turning point in his career.

At noon that day, Huo Wuxian was immersed in revising the plan, and suddenly, a young and beautiful woman came to the studio.

The woman was wearing a brand-name women's dress, carrying a Hermes brand-name bag, and the smell of elegant and fragrant French perfume on her body, whether it was from the decoration or the dress, she was definitely a woman with good taste.

As the saying goes, temperament is smashed with money, and this is not false at all.

If a wild child who grew up in the countryside, no matter how much he pretends to be, he can't pretend to be a gentleman.

If you want a person to have a temperament, in fact, it is very simple, just throw her a lot of money, let her spend it casually, as long as the basic needs are met, she will go to a higher level of quality of life, high-end cosmetics, exquisite clothing, and a variety of exquisite food, and gradually the temperament will be developed.

The better a person's temperament, the greater the amount of money invested behind him, so behind every temperamental woman, there is a rich man behind her, either her father or her husband.

"Hello, is there anything I can do to help you?" Huo Wuxian took the initiative to greet him and asked with a smile.

He felt that the opportunity had come, and maybe the woman would be interested in his project.

The woman smiled slightly, looking back and forth in Huo Wuxian's studio, she seemed to be very interested in Huo Wuxian's project, every plan would be carefully read, even the draft would be carefully read, of course, her beautiful apricot eyes would also glance in the direction of Huo Wuxian from time to time.

If Huo Wuxian didn't look at her, she would stare at Huo Wuxian for a while, and if Huo Wuxian happened to be looking at her here, she would smile casually, and then continue to check the other content.

In short, this atmosphere is a little subtle, serious, but a little ambiguous.

Huo Wuxian tried his best to avoid eye contact with this young and beautiful woman, because there was always a hint of provocation in her eyes, which was the kind of look that only a very scheming woman would have.
