On the day the books were transported, Brother Jiu stared at the big bag of books for a long time before he said, "Fourth brother, are you going to take the college entrance examination?" ”

The term college entrance examination is also new to them, Julia subscribed to the newspaper, and recently the newspaper has been talking about the reform of the college entrance examination.

"I'm not going to go to university, I just want to figure things out, I don't want to be confused all the time." Yin Zhen said confidently, "Why should you be a fool for the rest of your life?" At the very least, we have to figure out why we left the Qing Dynasty. ”

Brother Nine shook his head, this was too difficult, why they left the Great Qing Dynasty, even Julia couldn't explain it.

Next, everyone watched Yinzhen "Goodong" fall into the pile of books, his posture was like sinking into the deep sea where no one was around, and no matter how noisy and prosperous outside, he couldn't pull him out.

Yinxiang said that the fourth brother is stubborn in doing things. Brother Nine said, this is called not crazy, the devil can't live. Brother Ten said that even if he understands it, what if he understands it? Even if the fourth brother becomes Einstein, they still can't go back to the Kangxi year. Julia said, otherwise, it's Dr. Crazy, it doesn't matter if you can't go back to Kangxinian, maybe you can win a Nobel Prize.

"The fourth brother is on the right path." Yinxiang said, "I want to be lazy, tell me to see, this world is full of opportunities to make money, it is better to think about how to get money......

Brother Ten glanced at him: "You have it, you can't even get on the Internet, how can you get rich?" ”

"Who says you have to be that to get rich? Besides, I'm still searching......"

The words of the thirteenth elder brother made the ninth elder brother ponder, and he touched his chin and said, "Thirteen is right. The key is money! Money Max! We'll have to find a way to get the money! In other words, Julia, how can someone like us get the fastest and most money? ”

"Like you guys?"

"That's right, as long as you can make more money and make a lot of money, no matter what means!"

Julia looked at him faintly: "Then I only think of one ......"

"What!"

"Be a duck."

Brother Jiu was surprised: "Why do you have to be a duck?" Isn't it okay to be a chicken? ”

Yin Zhen looked at him silently: "No." Because you don't have the 'equipment' to make chickens. ”

He had figured out the deeper meaning of "chicken and duck" in modern language from Julia a long time ago, but Brother Jiu was still confused, and he wanted to ask again. Julia was already laughing to the point of death.

Actually, when it comes to making money. These brothers really can't come up with any decent ideas, it turns out that none of their livelihood methods in the Qing Dynasty will work here, such as the bookkeeper, the criminal master, the housekeeper and even the coolie seller...... These professions are now today. It's not a makeover, so that they don't know each other. It's completely gone.

Yinzhen was holding a chemistry book next to him. While holding a mechanical pencil to solve problems, he scoffed at these discussions of his younger brothers.

"Your brains are still three hundred years old." He snorted, "Take the old ten." Take 10,000 steps back, even if it is still the Kangxi Dynasty, what else can you do except eat, drink and be a brother in the house? Have you ever been a master and hit that good idea? ”

In a word, the tenth elder brother was deflated.

Brother Jiu said: "This is the key, we are not familiar with this place, so we have to find out this place in all aspects first, find some channels that we can get into, and enter this ...... Well, in society, we don't understand anything here, but there are a lot of people here. ”

The word "society" was also newly learned by Brother Jiu, and he has not been able to use it very well recently.

Brother Ten asked, "What's wrong with the crowds?" ”

"When there are more people, there are more gaps." Brother Jiu grinned, "Old Ten, think about it, is it better to make a living in the capital, or is it better to make a living in a small village in Rehe?" ”

"Of course, it's a good way to make a living in the capital! Live a lot! And no one cares about your busyness. Brother Ten said, "If you are in a small village in Rehe, from the east of the village to the west of the village, all of you are relatives, and people hire their brother-in-law, they will not hire you." Who wants to let you, an outsider, plug in? ”

Yin Zhen nodded: "Lao Jiu is right, there are many more people here than in the Qing Dynasty, and it seems that no one cares about anyone's business, except for those errand soldiers, no one asks about your origin no matter what you do." In this way, there are not only many gaps, but also very large. ”

"The bigger the gap, the better people can survive." Yinxiang woke up and said, "We can be like loaches, see the needle, and get in!" ”

But since you want to become a loach, you can't sit at home all day. And Julia didn't want Yinzhen to keep her head buried in studying, so she always pulled them out to go shopping, in the name of contacting society.

Compared with the fuss on the first day, the reaction of these brothers when they enter this business world is much calmer. And depending on their personalities, everyone's focus is different.

Yinzhen is easy to pay attention to the price, and he soon discovers that the price of the same thing is surprisingly different because of different manufacturers, or different packaging, or even just placed in different stores, such as soap. He found that this kind of extremely simple thing would increase in price dozens of times because of different brands or different origins.

"Why is it so ridiculously expensive?" At that time, he was in an imported cosmetics store, holding a piece of L'Occitane and asking.

"Because it's L'Occitane!" Julia was surprised, "It's not the ones in ordinary supermarkets. ”

"Isn't it soap?"

"It's soap, but it's French soap." Julia said patiently, "Dear Lord Belle, don't compare L'Occitane with two pieces of six, it's not the same ......."

"What's different? Do you see that the water does not melt? It's not useful, isn't it still soap? ”

Julia pouted: "Isn't the French perfume used by your family Fujin expensive?" You can't figure this out? ”

Yin Zhen shook his head: "That is expensive because it is small, so small that it cannot be sold at all, and it is a tribute brought to the envoys, and it is a reward given by my emperor Ama, which is naturally different." These are not tributes. And so much. ”

“…… First, the one you take is of French origin, it is imported, and it is subject to customs duties. ”

"Well, the tax is heavy, I understand this. Just because of taxes? ”

"Second, it's not a low-grade product, and a large part of the money you give is paid to this brand."

Yin Zhen frowned: "It's a brand again!" Why is branding so important? ”

"The so-called brand. It is the most important hallmark of modern business. Julia said. A well-known trademark contains a profound contract spirit, which is by no means as simple as it seems - the spirit of contract is the cornerstone of business, a real contract. its sacredness. Not even the emperor's decree could take it away. So we have to talk about humanism again...... Alas. In short, there is a lot of knowledge. ”

Yin Zhen still looked at her in a daze, it seemed that he didn't understand much.

Julia smiled wryly. "What is this? I haven't asked you to buy that high-end Syrian handmade soap, you can't buy that. ”

"Where is Syria?"

"In the Middle East, because there is still a war and there is a shortage of raw materials, there is a shortage of supply at the moment, and the use of flower essential oil from West Asia is costly, so it is also very expensive." Julia picked up another piece next to her, "This Japanese Kampo moonshine soap isn't cheap either—you see, they're all soaps, but they're not the same." ”

"Julia, why do you know this? I haven't seen you pondering soap all day long, huh? ”

Julia pulled Yinzhen to the window and pointed to the pedestrians outside: "Lord Belle, you go outside and ask casually, as long as you are a person, it is impossible not to understand these - this is a business world, and these are the foundation of this world." This is the difference between ancient and modern times. ”

Yin Zhen stared at the soaps, although his thoughts were still a little vague, he felt as if he had touched some key points in this world.

Compared with Yinzhen, Brother Jiu is more concerned about those stores with recruitment notices, because he cares more about how to make money from this world.

But Julia says there's no need to pay too much attention to that.

"This is only a small part of the way, the requirements are relatively low and narrow, you see, this trick is all manual work." Julia explains, "Nowadays, the mainstream way is to apply for a job online, and that's okay, when the time comes, I'll help you make your resume." ”

Brother Jiu was happy: "How do you give us a resume?" I think each of these companies requires enough work experience - after being an elder brother for more than 20 years, does this kind of thing count as work experience? ”

Yin Zhen snorted: "Isn't it?" In a company called 'Daqing', I was an executive as soon as I was born, and I have been an executive for more than 20 years, and now I suddenly remember to change jobs. How? Do you think that my brother's money is too little? ”

Julia laughed, she patted Brother Jiu's shoulder: "Ninth Master, you don't know this, the same resume, but the words can be changed, after being a brother for more than 20 years, this kind of thing can be changed to 'inherit traditional education for decades, be familiar with the classics of Chinese culture, and have sufficient management experience, and ...... in human resources, finance, administration, and operations'"

Before she could finish speaking, Brother Jiu interrupted her: "Wait, where will I know that!" ”

"Huh? Aren't these things you doing in your brother's mansion? You are in charge of the money, food, and monthly salaries of the Elder Mansion, the population of the Elder Mansion, the daily operation of the Elder Mansion, the external friendships, and the up and down of the Elder Mansion, from Fujin to the horseman, what should they do and what they should not do......

Brother Jiu was stunned by her!

"So the key is to be able to pack." Julia said proudly, "Don't think that you are bad, as long as you learn the basics, your abilities will be strong!" ”

As for the Tenth Elder Brother and the Thirteenth Elder Brother, compared to the elder brothers, the two younger brothers are less serious about what they are concerned about, and they are more enthusiastic about the delicious (Ten Elder Brother) and fun (Yinxiang) in this world.

For the convenience of each of them, Julia gave them pocket money, although Yinzhen repeatedly told these younger brothers: don't spend money indiscriminately, you can buy food, and you can buy daily necessities, but in addition, things like the toy guns that Brother Ten likes are best eliminated.

"If you have the ability, you will earn money to buy it in the future." He said lightly, "What kind of man is he who spends the money Juilliard gives him for dinner?" ”

Because of the eldest brother's speech, the elder brothers have all restrained, and the ninth elder brother does not need to mention it, even Yinxiang, who has always been casual, no longer looks at what to take when he goes to the supermarket.

Only Brother Ten is not happy, he likes something novel and rare, he has never tasted or used, he always wants to buy it to try, once he even bought a box of colorful Durex, because the condom packaging is relatively obscure, there is no conclusive instructions for use, Brother Ten thought it was a toy, and actually took it and asked Julia how to make this thing, which made Julia embarrassed to death, after Yinzhen knew about it, he was furious and scolded him, "It's good not to learn!" Drill into the downstream! ”

After that, Yinxiang persuaded him to take it easy, spend less money, and don't make the fourth brother angry. But when he said this, Brother Ten was even more unhappy.

Julia didn't say anything, why is the fourth brother so nervous? Did he think it was a debt from the household? I see that he is addicted to debt collection! He snorted, "The Wei family has a lot of money, didn't Julia say last time that there are hundreds of thousands in the drawer?" ”

Yinxiang was very displeased.

"Hundreds of thousands, that's a lot? I can't even buy a house for Brother Ten. And you have to see how well we can spend money. Last time she made sweet and sour pork ribs, Brother Ten, you made it round by yourself - that package was thirty yuan, not counting the Coke chicken wings and other dishes that night. Thirty a day, three hundred in ten days, nearly a thousand in a month, and more than ten thousand in a year. This is still the money you pay for eating meat alone, and I haven't counted inflation! Oh, those hundreds of thousands of people are for you to eat meat for decades? ”

As soon as he said this, Brother Ten was also unhappy: "Is that what I ate alone?" I see that you don't stretch your chopsticks less! What inflation...... I don't understand! Less new words to squeeze me! Besides, didn't Julia say that Wei Mingyue's parents often send money from abroad? The money that my father and mother give to my daughter, can I still do less? ”

When Yinxiang heard him say this, he was really angry, and said hatefully: "The wall of dung cannot be built!" ”

When the tenth elder brother heard this, he pointed at Yinxiang and said, "What did you kid say!" I know what you're thinking, you want to save money for Julia, and the fourth brother will marry her in the future, and the dowry will be indispensable! ”

Yinxiang was so angry by his words that his face turned pale!

The two were in the bathroom of the restaurant.

"Brother Ten, you're going too far." He gritted his teeth and said word by word, "The fourth brother told us to save flowers, is that for Julia's dowry?!" Believe it or not, if you say this, the emperor will have to tear your mouth apart! ”

Brother Ten knew that he had said the wrong thing, but he stiffened his neck and refused to bow his head, he snorted: "It's hard to say. The Emperor has never wronged me! ”

Yinxiang nodded slightly: "Huang Ama has never wronged the tenth brother, the tenth brother has wanted whatever he has since he was a child, and he feels that no one in the world should stop you from spending money." But don't you open your eyes and see, is it still Qing here? Is it still your brother's mansion! ”

The tenth elder brother was even more angry: "Old thirteen! You're actually teaching me a lesson?! ”

"Yes, I shouldn't teach Brother Ten a lesson, I don't have that qualification. I grew up in the barracks since I was a child, and I suffered a lot, I only knew how to lead soldiers to fight, and I didn't know how to pamper myself! I don't know how to sit at home to eat, drink and have fun, and spend other women's money in vain! ”

After speaking, Yinxiang slammed the door and went out. (To be continued......)
