Zhou Jianhua was thinking about pulling business while walking back, in fact, when Zhou Jianhua was encouraging Min Guibao and Zuo Qianghua to repair the motor, he had already considered the candidate for pulling the business, that is, his big brother Zhong Min.

In the eyes of the older generation of the seed farm, Zhong Min can be regarded as an alternative.

Zhong Min is 4 years older than Zhou Jianhua, and as early as 1980, when Zhou Jianhua graduated from primary school, Zhong Min had already graduated from junior high school. After graduating from junior high school, he did not go to high school, nor did he go to work in the seed farm like the children of other seed farms, but got a three-wheeled bicycle to go to the surrounding farmers to buy sugarcane, vegetables or chickens and ducks to sell in the county seat.

At that time, there was no industrial and commercial bureau, only an "office to crack down on speculation", and private trading was strictly prohibited. Zhong Min wanders around the streets of the county every day to hide and sell, and it is inevitable that he will be caught from time to time, and every time he is caught, all the cars and goods are confiscated. But Zhong Min was not tired of it, and every time he was confiscated, he would get a car and start his sales career again within a few days, repeating it many times, so that the security department of the good seed farm would call him to admonish him from time to time.

After a few years, although Zhong Min earned some money, he had a bad reputation, and he couldn't even talk about a girlfriend, and his relatives and elders at home were anxious and came to dissuade him, so he was unwilling to give up his speculative livelihood, returned to the seed farm as a worker, and lived a life that could only be regarded as a hard life in his opinion.

Now, although Zhong Min has talked about his girlfriend, he can no longer smoke and drink good wine like he did at the beginning, and he is depressed all day long. Whenever he occasionally talked to people about his previous sales career, his various experiences and observations, and the chic way he spent money, he would immediately dance with his eyebrows, and he seemed to be a different person.

Now Zhou Jianhua can certainly understand what this big brother next door is doing, in Zhou Jianhua's opinion, Zhong Min was born to do business, but he was unlucky, and he encountered a little obstacle for the time being, if he is given a suitable opportunity now, he will definitely be willing to return to his business kingdom.

When Zhou Jianhua came back, he went directly to knock on Zhong Min's door next door. Zhong Min lives alone in this room of Zhong Min's house, although it is already ten o'clock in the evening, Zhou Jianhua has no scruples, they are all young people of the same generation who are familiar with each other, and they are usually used to laughing and laughing together.

It was Zhong Min who opened the door.

Zhong Min, who was thin and tall, was only wearing ** underwear, a pair of cotton shoes on his feet, and a novel in his hand, seeing that it was Zhou Jianhua visiting late at night, he asked in surprise: "Something?"

"Hmm!" Zhou Jianhua nodded.

"Come in!" Zhong Min turned back and got on the bed and got into the quilt, put the novel on the bedside, lit a cigarette casually, looked at Zhou Jianhua and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhou Jianhua sat down on a chair opposite the bed, looked at Zhong Min, and said with a smile: "Good thing!" ”

Zhong Min raised his eyebrows: "What's a good thing?" ”

"Earn money!" Zhou Jianhua looked at Zhong Min with a smile and said.

"Earn money?!" Zhong Min's eyes flashed, then dimmed again, sighed, and said with a look of despair: "What good things can you do to make money...... Alas...... Don't think about it, there's not much money to make right now. ”

"Hehe, Brother Zhong Min, didn't you have a good time in the city?" Zhou Jianhua said with a smile.

"When I was selling goods in the city, the money came quickly, but it was also very hard! Every day is like fighting a guerrilla war...... You can't do this, listen to my brother's words, and die of this heart as soon as possible! Zhong Min said disdainfully, and casually picked up the novel on the bedside again.

"How much were you going to earn a month then?" Zhou Jianhua continued to ask: "Can you earn 50?" ”

"What do you want? You think it's a bank robbery?! It's good to be able to earn more than forty, and it's more than twice as strong as in the seed farm! Zhong Min glanced at Zhou Jianhua and said strangely, shook his head, and swept his eyes to the novel in his hand again.

"I have a thing here that can earn 80 a month, but it's harder, alas! If you don't have confidence, I guess no one can do it......" Zhou Jianhua said quietly, and then stood up and prepared to leave.

"Hey! What do you say? 80？！ Zhong Min looked up sharply and exclaimed.

"Alas...... Yes......" Zhou Jianhua sighed, turned around and walked out.

"You wait!" Zhong Min threw the book on the bed, lifted the quilt and jumped off the bed, rushed forward and hugged Zhou Jianhua's shoulder: "Let's go after you make it clear!" ”

Zhong Min put his arm around Zhou Jianhua's shoulders, pushed him back into the chair, leaned over and couldn't wait to ask, "What can you sell to make so much money?" ”

"What's not for sale...... Zhou Jianhua smiled secretly in his heart, and replied unhurriedly: "Do you know that the pump motor of the seed farm is broken?" ”

"Zhilu Dao!" Zhong Min looked at Zhou Jianhua inexplicably.

"I heard that there are a lot of motors that are broken and can't be repaired for a while, so I plan to collect some and repair them. If you are willing to help me collect, the labor fee will be 3 yuan for each motor over 2 kilowatts, 5 yuan for each motor over 5,000 watts, and 8 yuan for each motor over 10 kilowatts, or a commission of 15% of the gross profit for maintenance. But it's a hard thing, and you have to go around outside every day. Zhou Jianhua simply and clearly stated his plan.

Zhong Min's mind immediately spun rapidly:

Only a few nearby communes also have 100 high-power motors for pumping, of which according to the annual maintenance of 20 units, each commission is at least 10 yuan, a year just to collect the pump motor of the nearby commune can earn at least 200 yuan, not to mention that there are so many state-owned enterprises and social enterprises in the county There are countless large and small motors, as long as you can get a small part of the motor maintenance business, an average of 80 a month should not be a problem. The most important thing is that you don't have to fight guerrillas anymore in the future, and you can make money in a down-to-earth manner.

Zhong Min suddenly felt a bright light in front of him, this world is so beautiful, God really cares for himself, this kind of thing is simply tailor-made for himself!

Zhong Min tried his best to suppress the wild jump, slowly turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, lowered his head and took a few puffs of cigarette to calm himself down for a while, and soon raised his head again and stared at Zhou Jianhua opposite and asked:

"Will you fix an electric motor? You're alone? Where are you going to fix it? What if I find a machine and you can't fix it? ”

"It's not a problem to fix the motor! At present, I and Min Guibao, Zuo Qianghua three people to do this maintenance work, tomorrow, Min Changchang will give us a room to do the maintenance room, the maintenance work will start tomorrow, we want to repair the first motor is our seed farm. Zhou Jianhua smiled and looked at Zhong Min and replied, and said in his heart As expected, Zhong Min entered the role so quickly.

"If you take the motor and come back and can't repair it, I will also pay you the minimum of 3 yuan, 5 yuan or 8 yuan I just said, and I won't let you suffer. Your money is paid monthly. Zhou Jianhua continued: "However, you are not only responsible for pulling business, including the transportation of motors back and forth, but also your business. ”

"Of course!" Zhong Min nodded and agreed, even if Zhou Jianhua didn't say it, Zhong Min wanted to get it, and the work of transporting the motor back and forth must be borne by him.

"Well, there are two more points: first, I will draw up a list of motor maintenance prices tonight, as a reference when receiving maintenance business, and you cannot be lower than the reference price on the list when you talk about repair costs; Second, whether it is to send the motor or take the motor back, the customer must come at least once in person, and we must register the customer information and track the maintenance effect. These two things must be done. ”

"That's not a problem either!" Zhong Min agreed again.

Zhou Jianhua nodded: "You can think about the motor." If you've thought about it and plan to do it, come to me tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. to get the list. At that time, Min Guibao and Zuo Qianghua will also come over, you can just talk to them, and by the way, learn about the motor maintenance. ”

Zhou Jianhua knew that just because he opened his mouth tonight, it was impossible to make Zhong Min act immediately, and he had to let him see the progress of repairing the motor, so that he could really believe in himself.

After Zhou Jianhua finished speaking, he said goodbye, leaving Zhong Min alone to slowly imagine what kind of changes this job would bring to his life.

Zhou Jianhua returned to his house along the corridor, and saw that the bedroom where his sister and mother lived were still lit, so he pushed the door in. Zhou Lihua was really studying seriously with her textbook for the first semester of junior high school, while her mother was already asleep in bed.

Seeing her brother come back, Zhou Lihua hurriedly asked Zhou Jianhua to teach her a few math and English problems.

Zhou Jianhua sat down at his sister's table and began to guide his sister's study. When Zhou Lihua had a problem, Zhou Jianhua helped to take a look at the explanation, and when Zhou Lihua practiced by himself, Zhou Jianhua considered his next step, and by the way, he also drew up a list of preparations for Min Guibao and a list of maintenance price estimates for Zhong Min the next day. It wasn't until late that Zhou Lihua finally rubbed her eyes and yawned constantly.

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep. You've learned a lot today, and you'll have to review and digest it tomorrow. Zhou Jianhua looked at his thin and delicate sister with pity and said: "To learn this kind of thing, you can't fight fatigue, you must pay attention to learning methods and efficiency." ”

Zhou Lihua nodded, closed the textbook, turned her head to look at her brother, and said emotionally: "Brother, thank you...... I can finally study again......"

"What are you talking about, eldest brother is a father! Since my brother can make money, of course, you have to take responsibility, as long as you are willing to learn, my brother will also provide you with high school and college. However, learning this kind of thing mainly depends on your own efforts, and you will gain from your efforts. Zhou Jianhua looked at his sister with a smile and said.

"Hmmm! I'll try! Zhou Lihua grimaced happily, her face full of happiness.
