Chapter 60: Closing the Grocery Store

Seeing that Yang Yong had doubts in his heart, of course the mother had to give the greatest support and answers, so the old lady asked Yang Yong with a smile. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Son, don't worry about the processing of oil paintings, I want to ask you, are you short of money?" ”

was asked by his mother like this, and Yang Yong was really asked, and Yang Yong couldn't help but recall his harvest in the past month. Although he didn't make a lot of money, he had more than $600,000 in hand, and his business could still turn around, plus the family's grocery store earned a lot of money.

Since his career, family, and life are no longer within the scope of lack of money, since his mother asked, of course Yang Yong had to answer truthfully, and said with a bright smile. "Mom, I'm really not short of money, not to mention our family's family background and the income from the grocery store. As far as my own business is concerned, I am not short of money, although I have been running outside for more than a month. I'm a little mentally and physically tired, but my income is really good, and now I have more than $600,000 in working capital to support my career development, so I'm really not short of money. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Lan smiled and asked, "Since you are not short of money, why are you in a hurry to deal with that priceless oil painting?" You have to know that the value of a work of art cannot be measured in terms of money, and if you auction a painting today, the price of the painting will increase by 10% in a month. The price can rise by an average of 5% per year, such a good investment direction investment product, it's too late to grab it, how could you think of selling it! ”

Yang Yong was asked, scratched his head vigorously, and couldn't help but reply with a wry smile. "Mom, my business scope is to buy those ownerless abandoned warehouses, find out some treasures in the warehouses to cash in and make money. Since you don't agree with me selling Monet's famous paintings, then collect these oil paintings and treat them as family heirlooms, what do you think? ”

Hearing this, the old lady nodded with a smile and said very approvingly, "This is like a word, since our Yang family is not short of money, why take these priceless works of art and sell them." Wouldn't it be better to collect it? What's more, you get these four paintings? It is one of Monet's rare series of works, and the scenery is divided into four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Two days ago, I also checked on the Internet, and those four oil paintings of yours are Monet's rare masterpieces, or the most important thing to collect. It can't be said to be a family heirloom, but if you collect it in your own hands, you can also auction it for cash in case of any emergency, and you can also do it, just our Yang family is in fire and water, so it is most important to keep them. ”

Yang Yong agreed with this, filled the tea for his mother, and then lit a cigar himself, and then said to his mother with a smirk. "There's one more thing I'd like to discuss with you," the old lady asked with a smile after taking a sip of tea, then putting down the teacup and looking at Yang Yong. "Say whatever you want! What else do you have to be polite to your mother? Mom, although she hasn't seen anything in the world? But it is still possible to give you ideas. ”

Yang Yong shook his head and said, "Mom, what I want to tell you, is it a problem in my career?" It's about our grocery store. The old lady was stunned by Yang Yong's question, and then said puzzledly, "Grocery store, our grocery store business is very good!" Profitable every day. And the work is not tired, just enough to maintain the survival needs of our family, so as not to eat the old book. ”

Seeing that his mother's eyes lit up when he mentioned the grocery store, Yang Yong was really speechless, his own grocery store has been in business for more than 20 years. It can be regarded as a survival industry of your own family, and it was raised by the grocery store, and it is also a helpless move to close the grocery store. Yang Yong wants his mother to be idle and enjoy life, don't stare at the position of the grocery store manager every day, and sell some pots and pans every day.

Although the work is not very tiring, compared with enjoying life, it is no longer important to earn 1,800 dollars a day, so Yang Yong persuaded very seriously. "Mom, I mean close our grocery store and dispose of all the bottom goods, so you can take time out to enjoy life. After working all his life, it's time to rest, not to mention that your son is now grown up and has the ability to earn money to support his family, there is no need for you to work so hard. ”

Only then did Zhang Lan understand what Yang Yong meant, it turned out that Yang Yong wanted to support his retirement, so he remembered to close his grocery store. The old lady still understands Yang Yong's mood very well, but the old lady has her own plans, and she doesn't want to retire in her 50s to cook at home. She didn't want to be a burden to her son Yang Yong, so the old lady insisted on shaking her head and refusing to close her grocery store.

"No, our grocery store can't be closed, our grocery store has been in business for more than 20 years, and the income is very stable. The source of customers is also very stable, and you were raised by grocery stores? Now that you have hardened your wings and want to close the grocery store, I strongly disagree. Seeing that his mother was so resolute, Yang Yong had no choice but to move with emotion and reason, and persuade according to his own ideas.

"Mom, I just want you to live the rest of your life easily, now I can earn money to support my family, and I can make a lot of money. It's enough to live happily for the rest of your life, and after closing the grocery store, you can also go out and visit Hawaii. Or go back to China to have a look, why bother! Earning tens of thousands of dollars a month looks like a lot, but these dollars are worth it in exchange for your time. ”

In fact, what Yang Yong said is also true, but Zhang Lan has her own principles and reasons, and she insists on her own principles. "I understand what you're saying, but I have my own reasons!" At this time, Yang Yong sat up straight and asked seriously. "What are your reasons? Can you convince me? ”

Zhang Lan slowly said her reasons, "I have many reasons, but the following points are the most important. First, this grocery store is the only property left by your father, and it is also the foundation for our mother's survival, and the most important thing is that the grocery store is a commemorative store established by your father. ”

"The second point is that running the grocery store is a bit tiring, but I am very happy to see every customer who walks into the grocery store, selects items and returns satisfied, which is the source of my happiness. The most important point is the third point, although the grocery store does not make much money, it is better to have a stable income. You can earn more than $20,000 a month, and these incomes don't seem like much now, but $20,000 is enough for our entire Wang family, and the five of us don't have to worry about eating and drinking, which is also the last resort for our mothers. Keeping the grocery store and keeping a back road at the same time, so as not to completely fail, can't these 3 points convince you? ”

Yang Yong carefully tasted the reason that his mother said, and had to admit that his mother really convinced himself when she said this reason. But my desire to let my mother enjoy the happiness of her old age should not be erased! So Yang Rong came up with a compromise solution, and then said to his mother excitedly. "Mom, I agree with the grocery store to close, but I want you to enjoy the happiness and prosperity of the second half of your life, and you can't erase this wish! This is a right to be a son, and since the grocery store is not closed, then you have to promise me one condition. ”
