Chapter 66: Let My Cousin Do Business
The two came up from the ground, and Shen Wangshui asked, "Red Star, why are you here at this time?" Don't go to school? Have you eaten? β
Ding Hongxing said: "Not yet, I came by bicycle after school, and I was hungry." β
Aunt Zhang Guiju smiled simply: "Then hurry up and eat at home!" β
Ding Hongxing nodded, and then pushed the bicycle to his uncle's house, and the uncle followed him.
Ding Hongxing is very relaxed every time he goes to his uncle's house, because his uncle and aunt treat him very well, almost treating him as his own children, and he is never polite when he comes here.
Coming to the uncle's house, the uncle's house has no cooking smoke at all, in fact, there are not many cooking smoke in the entire Nanwu Village, Ding Hongxing is ********, he knows the customs here, generally the family eats two meals a day, one is at more than ten o'clock in the morning, and one is at about four o'clock in the afternoon, which may be because the living conditions were too poor before the nineties, in order to save some expenses, and later it became a custom.
As soon as he entered the hall, Ding Hongxing saw his cousin Shen Fucai sitting on a chair reading a book, but the two cousins were not at home, they were eating at school at noon and did not go home.
Ding Hongxing called "cousin", Shen Fucai raised his head to look, answered, stood up and pulled a chair for Ding Hongxing to sit down.
Shen Wangshui shouted: "Guiju, go and make a bowl of noodles for the child, lie down two eggs, remember to wash your hands!" β
Aunt Zhang Guiju responded, Ding Hongxing hurriedly said: "Aunt, it's enough to order some clear soup noodles, and eggs are free, my mother has boiled eggs for me every day in the past two days, and I have eaten nausea, and the burps are all egg-flavored." β
Ding Hongxing knows that the chickens raised in the countryside in this era are known as the "chicken butt bank", because there is no source of cash income in the countryside, so the daily expenses are from the eggs laid by the hens, he came here when he was a child and was not sensible, every time he made a fuss about eating eggs, he ate a lot of eggs from his uncle's family, and now he is sensible, but he can't add a burden to his uncle's family.
My aunt replied vaguely and went into the kitchen.
Shen Wangshui asked Ding Hongxing: "Hongxing, you haven't been to your uncle's house for a long time, do you have anything to do today?" β
Ding Hongxing didn't go around the bend, he said to Shen Wangshui: "Uncle, that's the case, my uncle and their unit have made a batch of faΓ§ade houses, the location is good, he asked our family to buy one, and our family plans to buy it too." Didn't you say last time that I asked my dad to help Brother Fucai find something to do? Now my father's factory is in a recession, not to mention that the salary is not high, and there will be no future in the future, so we want to buy this faΓ§ade house and let Brother Fucai do some business in this storefront, and the money we make should be more than the money we earn at work. β
Shen Wangshui didn't expect that this nephew would come today for this matter, he couldn't turn around for a while, he thought for a long time before saying, "Do business?" How can Fucai do business like this, it's not convenient to walk! β
At this time, Shen Fu spoke: "Dad, I want to go!" β
Shen Fucai looked at his father, his eyes were very firm, Shen Wangshui had never seen this son with low self-esteem and low profile, who was usually submissive in front of him, had such firm eyes.
Shen Wangshui's spirit couldn't help but be in a trance, and after calming down, he asked his son, "Do you want to go?" Have you ever done business? What should I do if I lose? I think it's better to get you a job. β
Shen Fucai said: "Looking for a job? What kind of job can I find? I can't be a worker, and I don't even think about working in the office, so ah, Dad, don't mention the job search. I've been in high school, I like to read, I'm educated, I've never done business, can't I study? β
Ding Hongxing also said: "Yes, uncle, I think Brother Fucai is okay, now the national policy is good, many people in big cities who have only studied elementary school have made a fortune in business, not to mention Brother Fucai, who has studied in high school, Brother Fucai's mind is absolutely fine, it depends on whether you give him this opportunity." β
Shen Wangshui said: "Then what if he loses money?" β
Ding Hongxing said: "Now that the economy is in good shape, there should be no loss in business, even if it loses, it is nothing, and now to open a shop and do some small business, you will have to invest hundreds or thousands of yuan, and if you lose, you should pay tuition." β
"Hundreds, thousands!" Shen Wangshui's brows furrowed: "Then this matter has to be summed up again, I think it's a bit hanging." β
Ding Hongxing didn't expect that his lenient uncle's words would have the opposite effect, but think about it, in the current countryside, there is no side business, and it is quite good to have a cash income of 100 yuan a year, and he has to pay all kinds of retention and co-ordination, and there are very few who can stay in his hands, and hundreds of thousands of yuan are already astronomical for the uncle.
Ding Hongxing hurriedly said: "Uncle, this money is nothing, I came out, I earned 3,000 yuan last time I helped the Agricultural Bank of China play football!" β
"How much?" Shen Wangshui's eyes widened.
"Three thousand." Ding Hongxing said affirmatively.
Shen Wangshui gasped, this number was something he had never earned in his life, but his nephew earned it after playing a game, he shook his head and said, "Now the money in the city is so easy to earn?" β
Ding Hongxing saw that his uncle was a little moved, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Uncle, yes, now the economy is good, if Brother Fucai is in business, he can at least earn so much in a year, even if it is 10,000, it is also my money, it doesn't matter, anyway, this money is easy to come by." β
At this time, my aunt Zhang Guiju came in with a bowl of noodles, the noodles were hand-rolled noodles, wide, thin and tendonous, and sprinkled with green onions, dripping sesame oil, steaming, fragrant, making people have a great appetite at first sight, Ding Hongxing hurriedly took it and said, "Thank you, aunt!" β
Ding Hongxing picked up the chopsticks and said to Shen Wangshui: "Uncle, you discuss first, I'll eat noodles first, I'm hungry." β
Ding Hongxing picked up the noodles and ate them in a big gulp, after a few bites, he found that there was another mystery under the noodles, it turned out that his aunt still lay two poached eggs for him, he could only shake his head helplessly, and continued to eat, no way, his uncle and aunt were too good to him.
The uncle told his aunt what Ding Hongxing just said, and their family discussed, Zhang Guiju is a typical rural woman, and she has no opinion on this kind of thing, she only said that her husband is in charge, and Shen Wangshui has been tempted just now, and he also knows the actual situation of his son, it is difficult to find a suitable job, and it seems that he can only let his son give it a try, in case he breaks out of a way.
Ding Hongxing quickly ate a bowl of noodles cleanly, after eating the noodles, he was already sweating profusely, he put down the bowl, and saw that his uncle and cousin were looking at him, he asked, "How is it?" Have you discussed it? β
Shen Wangshui nodded and said, "After discussing, let Fucai give it a try." β
Ding Hongxing said happily: "That's great! In this way, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, let Brother Fucai go to Guicheng with me today. β
Shen Wangshui exclaimed: "So anxious? β
Ding Hongxing nodded and said: "That batch of stores will be done next month, and our business will also be opened as much as possible, and during this time, Brother Fucai can learn how to do business." β
Shen Wangshui thought about it, so he nodded, but he asked again, "Then what business are you going to do?" β
Ding Hongxing said: "I have already thought about this, so I will do the stamp business." β
"Gas stamps?" Shen Wangshui said: "Is it the kind of oil ticket used when oiling?" β
Ding Hongxing said with a smile: "Uncle, it's not the kind of oil stamp, it's the kind of stamp used when sending letters." β
Shen Wangshui said suspiciously: "This stamp can also do business?" β
Ding Hongxing said: "Of course you can, many people in the city like to collect stamps, and some stamps can be sold for dozens or hundreds of dollars." β
Shen Wangshui shook his head incredulously: "I don't understand this, since you think this business can be done, you can go." β
Shen Wangshui said to his wife again: "Then you go and help Fucai pack some clothes and let him go to Guicheng." β
Zhang Guiju quickly packed up some changes of clothes, made a baggage, and handed it to his son, while Shen Wangshui searched for some change tickets, added up to five yuan, and handed it to his son as his pocket money.
Shen Fucai didn't shirk either, he put those zero tickets into his personal pocket, picked up the baggage, bowed to his parents and said, "Dad, Mom, then I'll go." β
Shen Wangshui waved his hand, and Zhang Guiju said: "Son, you must work hard when you get to the city, but don't be too tired!" β
Ding Hongxing said with a smile: "Auntie, just let Brother Fucai take a look at the store, and he won't be tired." β
Shen Wangshui and his wife sent their son and nephew out of the door, and watched his son sit in the back seat of Ding Hongxing's bicycle.
Ding Hongxing rode back home, his parents had already gone to work, Ding Hongxing opened the door of the house, let Shen Fucai enter his room, and then took out a stack of philatelic magazines and handed it to Shen Fucai: "Brother Fucai, you read these books first, try to figure out the doorway in this philately these days, at least know which stamps are of high value, why they are of high value, and you have to distinguish between halal and fake stamps." If you don't understand something, I'll tell you about it when I get back in the afternoon. β
Shen Fucai nodded, of course, his IQ and culture are no problem, he also had classmates collecting stamps when he was in high school, so he is not completely unfamiliar with stamp collecting, and his tenacity is no problem, due to physical defects and difficult family circumstances, he has suffered a lot over the years, and now with such an opportunity, he will definitely not let go.
