Zhu Jiahua stayed in Tian (Tianjin) for a few days, and then went back to Beijing (Beijing), Lu Li sent him on the train and accompanied Zhu Guohua back to the old Zhu family's house on Zhang Zizhong Road, "Hey, Guohua, tell you something?" ”

"Say, what's the matter?"

"You know, I'm very busy at the booth on Binjiang Road right now, my aunt is there, and I always want to talk to me, and I don't have time to accompany her old man, so I think, if it's convenient, go back to my house with me, what should you do during the day, at night, let's be together, talk after eating, it's so lively."

“…………”

Lu Li thought that he disagreed, and persuaded him with a relentless tongue: "You don't know, my aunt is about a little old, and she likes to be the most sexual, if the family is lively, she will be very happy, but not now, just me, and my sister are at home, it seems quite lonely." ”

Zhu Guohua really felt moved, he was not a fool, of course he understood what Lu Li's invitation meant, no wonder the eldest brother valued him so much, he was really good at talking and doing things! "Okay! That ......, Xiaoxiao, don't play with me, I understand your thoughts, buddy, thank you! ”

"Then pack your things and leave today."

So, Zhu Guohua moved to Lu Li's house, as he said, there is one more person in the family, he is still a college student, Yu Fang is very happy, now the family is not short of money, but is in a state of lack of people, every day there is such a young man, with himself to talk and laugh, life could not be more comfortable. After the initial strangeness, he was more considerate to Zhu Guohua than to Lu Li, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Why don't you eat meat, you kid? Come, I'll clip it for you. Yu Fang picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Zhu Guohua's bowl. I picked up an ingots egg (that is, the braised egg in the braised pork) and put it in, "Eat more, look at Xiaoxiao, he is a few months older than you, it looks like you are older than him, you know why." It's just that you don't eat meat! Eat more and be obedient. That, Xiao Xin, Xiao Cao, a few of you, don't let me do it, eat it yourself? ”

Lu Li looked at his bowl full of rice, and then looked at Zhu Guohua's bowl with sharp food, and said sneeringly: "Auntie, what are you doing?" These things. You gave it all to me. As he spoke, he stretched out his chopsticks and brought the ingots back from his bowl.

Yu Fang, Zhu Guohua and Liang Xin were dumbfounded, "Lack of morality!" You ......"

Look at Lu Li again, he has already laughed with Wu Ting!

"Auntie, don't clip it to me," Zhu Guohua felt the warmth from the woman. The young man's eyes were hot, and he lowered his head and pulled up the food.

"That's right. Boy, you have to eat and work more so that you can make a big difference! When you go to college and don't live at home anymore, that's okay, you come here once a week. Auntie gives you stew to eat. And Xiao Xin, how long have you been in Tian (Tianjin)? ”

"I got the end of August. It's a pity that I'm in Beijing (Beijing), and I can't eat my aunt's dishes every day like Brother Hua. ”

"It's fine. When I came back in the solar calendar year, I wanted to eat it and told my aunt, and I will make it for you. ”

"Okay." Liang Xin immediately became happy, smirked, and said without raising his head.

After the family had dinner, the five Luli each moved a bench, sat in the alley, drank hot tea, felt the wind of the hall, and the comfort was really not too much to describe! “…… I heard my aunt say, are you having a partner? It's still Xiao Xin's sister, right, why have you never seen her? ”

"I've gone to Beijing."

Zhu Guohua could see that he didn't want to continue the topic, and said, "I heard Cao Xun and them talk about your business, how is it going now?" ”

"I was thinking about doing a wholesale business, but now it seems that this idea is a bit of a no-brainer. According to the news that Shan Zhencheng fed back, other merchants on Binjiang Road are not very interested in this practice, they seem to prefer to go to Guangzhou to load the goods themselves, rather than take it from us, hey, you are a high school graduate, more than us people, you help me think, what is going on? ”

"I pondered, it's still because of the problem of human feelings. Suppose it was me, and I took ten pieces of clothing from you, and when I went back, I saw that four of them were flawed, whether they were jumped, broken, or stained, they were not easy to sell. I spent money, but the one I bought back was a defective product, if I look back to you to change, it is easy to cause disputes, and then I will suffer a loss, and it is not good to open my mouth to tell you on the surface, you think about it, can I have no idea about you in my heart? ”

"Aren't you just thinking about what you're talking about?"

"Yes, I know, but the thought alone is enough to hold me back. Instead of losing money and hurting the feelings between each other, it is not enough to go to Guangzhou, where the two parties have their own hearts and eyes, and no one will hurt the pursuit of money for the sake of human relations. Even if it's a little more, it's worth it. ”

"I agree with Brother Hua's words, if it weren't for the fact that I have known my brother for so many years and knew each other, if I had set up a stall on Binjiang Road, I would have to think about it if there was such a good thing."

Liang Xin and Zhu Guohua's words seem to have suddenly opened a door for Lu Li! The world behind the door made him feel colorful and dangerous, and some content flashed through his mind, carefully distinguished, sorted it out, and said slowly: "I understand a little, this kind of ...... The pursuit of money is also the most primitive motivation for doing business, isn't it? ”

Cao Xun looked at each other a few times, "Huh? Why did you suddenly remember such a sentence? ”

"I now seem to know a little bit about why I wanted to go to Hong Kong. I originally thought that it was the bustle and bustle that attracted me, but now that I think about it, it is not like that. I'm here in Tian (Tianjin), with Cao Xun, Xu Yunjian and their brothers, of course, they also make money, but more often, the starting point is not how much money they can make, but to make the lives of buddies like Liang Xin, Zhang Qing, Li Tiehan and the like more comfortable! ”

"What are you talking about? We don't understand it at all? ”

Lu Li smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, not only do you not understand, but I also found a little clue about what Guohua said just now. Let me explain to you this, I also used to make money selling clothes, but in general. I am still thinking more about Xu Yunjian and others, of course, including Liang Xin, Brother Hua and Guohua, the lives of you people have always been on my mind, of course. I'm not saying that I'm going to change my old ways and ignore you in the future. It's about fundamentally changing the way we think about business. I no longer see it as a way to make money, but I look at my business with a broader perspective. ”

"So, what about the specifics?"

"Still make money!"

Everyone scoffed at the same time, "Nonsense! ”

"It's not nonsense, you don't understand yet, as I said earlier, the pursuit of money is the supreme pursuit of all those who live with economic operation as the goal of life. I asked myself that I was not short of hands and feet compared to those people, and my mind was not dull, and to be honest, I had a little experience in the past year or so, so why couldn't I make more and more money like those people? ”

"No one said they wouldn't let you make money, besides. As far as I know, you're making a lot of money now, right? Among these stall people in Tian (Tianjin) City. You're number one, aren't you? ”

"Far from it! In the sky (Tianjin) a fingernail-sized environment to dominate the king, what kind of ability is that? It's like a country of the blind, and even though I'm a one-eyed dragon, I'm pretty remarkable. But compared to the people in the wider world out there, who are in the business, I can't do it yet. Far from it! ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"I haven't made a concrete decision yet, but I can't go on like this. Not to mention anything else, we have to continue to strengthen the business on Binjiang Road now! That's what I think, you see. On Binjiang Road, there are many, many passenger flows, and our clothing and mutton skewer business all rely on these people to carry out, but as for clothing, many people have begun to do it, and our profit margins are getting smaller and smaller, so I proposed a few days ago to change this way of retail sales and wholesale business. Now, isn't that ...... that smart? It seems that I was thinking too simply. ”

"Xiaoxiao, don't think so, seriously, our brothers have followed you, and until today, we will charge wherever you point. Since it is a charge, can there be any immortals? If this is not done correctly, let's turn to other mountains, nothing remarkable? This is not only my own opinion, but also the common idea of my brothers. Zhang Qing is sitting here, don't believe you ask him? That's what he said in the first place, right? ”

Lu Li smiled movingly and said: "Since this method doesn't work, let's change it, don't say that we haven't lost money yet, it's really lost, we are still young, and we have time to start over, right?" ”

"Yes!" Xu Yunjian clapped like thunder, and shouted loudly, "Xiaoxiao, we all listen to you anyway, whatever you say, our brothers will do whatever they want." ”

"I'm still thinking about what to do. Now there are two preliminary solutions, and you can help me discuss them. I noticed that in addition to the clothing business, the mutton business is particularly good, according to the situation that Zhang Qing and Er Danzi sell every day, they can earn more than 1,000 yuan a day, right? I thought, can we follow the example of other people and officially make this business bigger? ”

"How do you do Dafa?"

"Start your own shop! Specializing in selling shabu mutton, get good mutton, good materials, let's do it ourselves! ”

How many shocked Cao Xun was? Start your own store? That's too fast, right? It's 1980, and although the Cultural Revolution has ended, there is still a strong residual view of society where ideology determines everything. "Lu Li, you are a party member, think about it carefully, in this way, you will become an exploiting class, this is not a joke."

"I knew that this step was really difficult, and to be honest, I thought that if it went well, I would go to Hong Kong one day and be in Hong Kong, and start my first step in this way. I'm sure I'll be able to earn my first pot of gold there. ”

"Nonsense, this is Tianwei (Tianjin), not Hong Kong!"

Lu Li smiled bitterly and nodded, "I know, I know completely, so I would like to ask your brothers for their opinions here?" ”

"I don't agree." Zhu Guohua was the first to say: "Mutton skewers can be used as a street food, or as a helpless choice for our educated youth to return to the city and not find a job. And if you really want to open a store, that's a different situation -- Cao Xun also said just now, you are a transmutation of the class position, you have changed from the proletariat to the exploiting class. Really, Xiaoxiao, I'm not scaring you, don't say it, as long as you mention it, someone will come to talk to you. ”

"I agree with Guohua's words, and I don't agree with you doing this." Cao Xun said: "Seriously, Xiaoxiao, our buddies have earned more money this year than ordinary workers have earned in ten or eight years, isn't it enough for you to spend?" What's the use of making more? ”

"Xu Yunjian, what do you say?"

"I can do anything, if you want to talk about money, no one has too much stuff, right? But Cao Xun also has a point. But I just say a word, whatever I want to do, I will follow. Anyway, I don't use my brain, just follow him. ”

Lu Li was secretly satisfied in his heart, and looked at Liang Xin again, "What about you?" Bai went to college, say something? ”

"I think, the little brother just said that if this kind of thing is brought to Hong Kong, it will definitely succeed, in this case, why not try it?"

Lu Li suddenly felt enlightened, and couldn't help laughing, "That's right! Xiao Xin is so right! Let's sit here, why don't we get up and go! I went back and discussed with my aunt, if it doesn't work in Hong Kong, I'll give it a try, if it works, our buddies will fight the world in the south, if not, I'll turn around and come back, and I'll be a tourist. ”

"The south is fighting the world, Xiaoxiao, what should I do on this side of Tian (Tianjin)? What about your aunt, you don't want it anymore? ”

"Who said no, my aunt can take over and live with me, and the business here in Tian (Tianjin) can also be taken care of at both ends."

"Fart! What about your day (Tianjin) and North (Beijing), are you still taking care of both ends? Thousands of miles away, can you take care of it? ”

"So you don't understand, these two places are indeed far away, but that's only a temporary situation, you, never read books or newspapers, for the development of the country is not at all understood, now our country has put forward four major policies for modernization, in the next ten or twenty years, there will be a big change! You'll see when the time comes,......"

"What am I looking at?"

"I don't know."

Everyone laughed!

Lu Li scratched his head with a wry smile and said, "But although I can't say it, I can imagine that our China at that time must be different from when we were children." Products are piled up, flooding the market, people can buy whatever they want, the melons and fruits of the four seasons can be seen at any time, and there is no need to worry about the money and tickets in their hands. When the time comes, you will know what so-called communism looks like. ”

Zhu Guohua was enthusiastic about his words, not to mention Cao Xun and Xu Yunjian, he only felt that his arms were numb, and he actually gave birth to goosebumps, everyone looked at each other, and a thought passed through their hearts at the same time, "Although Lu Li's words have a feeling of being in the air, according to the current situation, they may not be all false!" How happy would it be if there was such a day? (To be continued......)
