Chapter 423: The Apple That Was Bitten
However, the truth is more serious than He Wei guessed.
"Lao Lin came to your father to quit his job last week, saying that there are other places to go at the beginning of the year, for the sake of our family treating him well, he specially said a few years ago, so as not to find someone to do at the beginning of the year and affect the business. It was useless for me and your father to keep it, so I sealed him a big red envelope and allowed it. Who knows, two days ago, I went to the Pearl Shopping Mall to settle the payment, and found that most of the woodware consigned on the counter was replaced by the goods of 'Lin Ji'......"
Speaking of this, Hemu's good mood disappeared forever.
I wanted to hide it from the two children. It's rare to go home for the New Year, and you have to go back to Beijing to go to school after the New Year, but don't be depressed and have a bad year because of business matters at home. So before going out, the two made an appointment, and no one said anything about it. How do you know that the two children are so smart, they are obviously talking about going back to their hometown for the New Year, so they can know that the business at home is not good?
Mother He couldn't hide her face, she was aggrieved by her son's words, and just after sighing, tears fell down.
In the past few days, I have been like this, and when I talk about it, I can't help but wipe my tears. was also angry, first the unkind practices of the Lao Lin family, and then the businesses that were robbed. Seeing that the children were coming back soon, they couldn't bear to cry yesterday, and it was not good for the children to come back and see the problem.
But even if I didn't wipe my tears for a day, my eyelids were still badly swollen. I got up this morning and looked in the mirror again and again. I always feel that I can't get over. What to do, I remembered that I had heard a clever trick from the proprietress of the fruit shop earlier, that is, to put a scalded egg on my eyes. Storage can reduce swelling. He also said that foreigners do this, and the effect is old.
Mother He didn't care whether she believed it or not, opened the refrigerator door, left six of the free-range eggs stored at home for the children to eat, and the rest were all cooked, wrapped in gauze and rolled eyelids one by one. I put more than a dozen eggs on the front and back, changed them for one after another, and threw them to Lao He for breakfast. Choked so much that Father He couldn't stop burping. I put it on until noon, and finally I couldn't see any traces of crying, so I went out with confidence.
Who knew that his son blew up the things that the two of them were going to hide with a single word.
Now that it has been said, He Mu is no longer hidden. Crackling and talking. After speaking, he wiped the corners of his reddish eyes and scolded the unkind Lin Shuigen family: "...... Think about how good our family was to them when they were in trouble? Not to mention helping his daughter get rid of the rotten man who cheated on the marriage, he also arranged work for the two of them, and the wages they were paid were much higher than when they were in the furniture factory. Especially Lao Lin, in addition to the basic salary that has been negotiated, there is also a commission for doing one thing and one thing. Even he himself said with a golden mouth: Our family's salary is the highest in the industry. But what did their family, his daughter-in-law, and his daughter-in-law do to us? It's really kind and not rewarded! ”
He Mu said. His eyes were red again, and Father He sighed on the side: "Okay." How many days have you been talking about this? The children have just come back, and they keep talking about what they are doing with these unpleasant things. ”
Mother He glared with tears in her eyes: "Their family has done such a shameless thing, why don't you want me to scold a few words?" ”
"Hey! But it's rare for the children to go home, so they can't be worried, isn't this a New Year, let's say something happy, ah? When the New Year begins, the children go back to school, and you continue to scold, I definitely have no opinion. ”
"Get out!" Mother He was happy.
Father He, who has always been silent, has been relieved these days, and people have been relieved to come out of the routine. As the object of comfort, He's mother is used to it, and the brother and sister who are not used to it laugh when they hear it.
After laughing, we got back to business.
He Xidong frowned and said, "Mom, isn't it a long-term agreement signed with us at the counter, how can you say that the contract will be terminated?" Then we can take the agreement to sue him for breach of contract, and we can compensate him for not wanting to escape. ”
He Wei and Yuan Yuan nodded in unison.
Mother He knew that they would react like this, because she and Lao He also thought the same way before, but they took the agreement and ran to the counter to theorize, and the result was that people were more justified than them.
“…… If they find a supply channel with better quality and lower price, they have the right to unilaterally terminate the contract...... I was so angry that my lungs were about to explode, and our price was still high? I don't have a weak heart when I change the carpenter to appraise the price, our work is not as rough as the machine, and it is sandpaper sanded many times before varnishing. At the beginning, we thought the price was low, if we didn't think about small profits and quick turnover, we could give them such a low price? I want good wood, fine workmanship, and low price, but he found one for me......
As a result, guess what's the price offered by Lao Lin's family? Each piece of wood is two dollars less than our house. As for the excellent quality, I was just babbling, something! Referring to the drawings of our house, using the same wood as our home, it is estimated that it is to prevent us from this trick, the first batch of goods supplied to the counter, the one that is made is called meticulously crafted, and the quality is excellent, I have to give Lin Shuigen a thumbs up. But he dares to pack the ticket, and the next batch is like this? Does he dare? Of course not! I don't know what his idea is, it's just to grab business, grab it and then raise the price, mention the same price as our family, as long as it's not lower than our house, the counter can't do anything about him. The quality will not be as fine as the first batch......"
The more He Mu spoke, the more angry she became, her chest rose and fell, her face flushed, He Wei was afraid that she would be dizzy, so she hurriedly smoothed her hair: "Mom, don't be angry, don't you suffer when you are angry?" Isn't it just the business of the counter, and Dad can be easier with less work. Hasn't our online store business been made yet? In the future, maintain the online store more, and the orders will only be more, not less. ”
"You know what." When it came to the online store, He's mother was even more angry, "Lin Shuigen's daughter, found someone to make an online store that is almost the same as ours, and the store name is all learned from us, called 'Lin Kum Kee', and what did you add to it?" ”
Mother He turned around and asked Father He, who was driving.
He's father didn't know much to read, but he had a good memory, and the fruit shop owner's son remembered it once he said it. Listening to He's mother's question, he replied casually: "'Authentic woodworking family'......"
"That's right! Do you say you want to be shameless? He Lao Lin and your father entered the furniture factory as an apprentice in the same year, and I remember the name of the master I worshipped. actually called the woodworking family, but he gave me several generations. Oh, don't he's the first generation, and use what will be passed down in advance, right? If this is going to be done, our family can also be called a woodworking family, no! It is the ancestor of the woodworking family! Your dad's craft can't match his? ”
The child couldn't help but laugh and endure so much pain. But He Mu was really angry, and continued to complain: "There is more. The day before yesterday, several master carvers came to say that Lao Lin hired them to work on his side, and the basic salary was the same as that of our family. The commission is more than half a point, this is good, and the three ...... will be gone."
Because of this incident, the two of them didn't have time to rush to the Lin family to ask for an explanation.
The carver master walked three times. The work that was originally assigned to them was divided among the masters who were left behind. I have to appease the masters who stayed. Father He's hand is not much work, but wood carving is not his forte, after apportioning part of the work, the rest has to be moved to the New Year. Fortunately, when I received the order, the delivery date was quite generous, otherwise it would be really messy.
The children couldn't laugh now, especially He Xidong.
It's a numb egg! Grab business, grab workers. After finishing and even snatching the design of the online store, do you want to be more shameless?
I want to be at the beginning. How much effort did he put into designing his online store? I stayed up until half past three in the morning for several nights before I went to bed. The Lin family is good, waving his sleeves to take away the fruits of his He family's hard work.
But on the other hand, the business has been robbed, why do you leave so many carvers for? It's okay to raise a day worker! And the person who can be pulled away by a small profit must not be a faithful Lord. It's better to go before it's too late.
So he persuaded his parents: "Parents, since this thing has happened, you can only think about it." When it is a lesson, recruit and hire people in the future, don't be emotional. There are many white-eyed wolves in this world who can't be fed. Over at the counter, it is a small profit and quick turnover, and the Lin family will give it to them if they want it, see how they will go down, automatically and spontaneously reduce the price, and also carefully crafted, this business will not be long. As for the online store, I will ask the website if a practice like the Lin family is considered infringement. If the website is the best, if not, I will ask my classmates to design a better and better storefront, and keep it to attract customers. ”
Father and Mother He nodded when they heard this. The children are different when they get older, and it feels like they have found their backbone.
He Xidong naturally didn't know the emotion in his parents' hearts, and said with a smile: "Parents, Weiwei and I have good news to report, do you want to hear it?" ”
"What's the good news? The final exam results are out? Got a scholarship? He Mu asked with her head sideways. The righteous indignation just now was carried away by the topic of his son.
"Not this." He Xidong cleared his throat, and in the smiling eyes of his baby sister and Yuanyuan, he announced: "I, I made 130,000 yuan by trading stocks last year, and I was the first to break through the 100,000 mark, isn't it good news?" Something to be happy about, right? ”
"Happy, happy!" He Mu smiled happily.
"Weiwei, cough, you two calm down, don't faint after hearing it, especially Dad, you are taking the lives of the five of us safely. Forget it and go home, I'm afraid you two will be stimulated by listening. ”
If you don't say it, it's all about this, He's mother can still bear to go home, and urged her son to speak: "Just say what the hell, don't you say good news?" Since it's good news, I'm afraid that my dad and I will faint, so say it quickly! ”
"Hey, hey, hey......" He Xidong couldn't help but laugh first. One hundred and eighty thousand, he didn't believe that his parents didn't faint. I think he was dizzy at the time, and he went back to the dormitory and had a whole night, and he was treated as a madman by his roommates.
Mother He slapped him in the head funny, turned her head and asked her daughter: "Weiwei, your brother is stupid, let's ignore him, what is the good news?" Say it to your parents Lele. ”
"Auntie, I'll tell you." Yuan Yuan announced the answer with a smile: "Sister, she once went to the antique street, and she didn't spend money to pick a piece of jade rough, and opened a chanterelle yellow high-ice jadeite, and made a net profit of eight million!" ”
He Mu didn't understand the professional terms such as rough stone, chanterelle yellow, and high ice species, but she understood the three words "eight million", but she was afraid that she would hear it wrong, and eight hundred yuan would become eight million, so she asked again: "How much do you earn?" ”
"Eight million!" Yuan Yuan and He Xidong spoke in unison.
He Mu heard it clearly this time, and it was no longer clear. As soon as he twisted his thigh, there was a "hiss" throbbing pain, which proved that it was not a dream.
Father He twitched his lips as he put his finger on the steering wheel. Fortunately, it was in the car, and there was a handbrake disc in the middle, otherwise I am afraid that I would have suffered this twist again. But when it comes to the good luck of the girl, there is the earliest two million lottery jackpot as the foundation, this time the eight million, there are surprises, and the scare is gone. The pride in my heart: Such a blessed girl is our daughter!
There are He Xidong and Yuanyuan, one is to witness the luck of the baby sister throughout the whole process; Although the other is something I heard, I can't help but embellish the story that will be told flat and straightforward. He Wei didn't need to speak, her father and her mother knew the origin of the eight million.
"Good! Hahaha! Our daughter is simply a lucky star! He Mu couldn't stop smiling.
Father He also smiled, and the corners of his mouth on both sides grinned to the root of his ears.
“…… Anyway, I was stunned at the time, the piece of wool that Brother Xu and I picked was so domineering, and it didn't give me face so much, let alone jade, I didn't see the patina. Weiwei is such a small stone, but it has opened eight million treasures......" He Xidong continued to play treasure to make his parents happy: "Later, I heard that the people in the whole antique street picked up vegetables and fruits and bought wool, laughing to death......"
Yuan Yuan said on the side: "Not to mention the Kyoto Antique Street, I read in the newspaper that the whole gambling stone industry has been popular since the beginning of the year, and many famous jewelry companies have sent buyers to pick up the rough stones in the form of vegetables and fruits, and the suppliers are all dumbfounded." In my opinion, maybe other fields will be blown with a wave of vegetables and fruits......"
"No wonder!" He Mu slapped her thigh: "I went to sweep the New Year's goods a few days at the beginning of the month, and there were apple patterns everywhere in the mall, but I was bitten, and the surrounding three layers were full of people, and I didn't know what I was robbing." When I came out, I heard a song again, what 'apple, apple, tomato, tomato, bitter gourd, bitter gourd'...... Ouch, hey, daring is also related to my daughter...... "Mother He is honored."
The children were happy.
"Mom, the bitten apple you said is a mobile phone brand, and it has nothing to do with vegetable and fruit wind."
"Auntie, that song must be sung like this, right?"
Yuanyuan children's shoes hummed a few of the lyrics, and He Mu nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes!" That's it! ”
The three of them burst into laughter.
"Mom, this song has been there for a long time, and it has nothing to do with vegetables and fruits."
Seeing that the children were so happy, He Mu smiled and said, "Yes! It's me who is lonely and unheard. ”
No matter what kind of wind it is, it is always his daughter who has made money, and it is a lot of money. The thought of this mother is refreshed. was temporarily amnesiac by Lin Shuigen's family robbing business, and he laughed almost all the way home with his children. (To be continued.) )
