Chapter 121: Doing Business Since I Was a Child
Zhicheng and Xuelian walked into a nearby restaurant with a smile, and the two of them pinched the recipe and looked at it, each dish was more than ten yuan, and they really didn't know what to order. In the end, the two ordered the cheapest vegetarian dish - cold cucumber, and then asked for two large bowls of noodles. That's exactly ten dollars together.
Xue Lian pressed the more than ten yuan earned by the two of them under the teapot and sighed: "I'm a little reluctant to spend it, I really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are...... Hmph, look at the big bag you picked up this morning, all of them are gadgets, none of them are valuable, and my big oil drum sold for five cents and five, which is so enjoyable! ”
Zhicheng reached out and pinched the tip of her nose and said, "Hmph, I'm embarrassed to say it, that one was originally mine, but my brother picked it up in his hand, and you snatched it again." Zhicheng pinched her fleshy face and said aggrievedly, "I'll pick up that big one in the morning." And let you run away. ”
Xue Lian bit her lip and smiled a little embarrassedly, and argued: "Hmph, this is called competition." Whoever makes you not optimistic about the fruits of your labor, there is no family affection in the market economy. "I don't know when the four legs under the table have been tightly twisted together......
"Brother, let's go to the pedestrian street to set up a stall in the future, and sell some girls' trinkets, couple clothes and the like. Not only can we practice our social skills, but we can also practice our escape skills, and maybe we can become a sprint champion in the future......"
"Hehe, okay, as long as I'm with you, I can do anything. But how can we have time to put it, and if we are caught by the chengguan, won't we lose all our money? ”
"Hmph, you have to earn it again when you have nothing to lose. By the way, brother, is this the first time you've made money? I'm not, I've been a little boss since I was a kid. Bite? I still don't believe it, really, I was selling popsicles in the countryside at that time. I was eight or nine years old. Just in the second grade, isn't there a wheat holiday for harvesting wheat in our countryside? When the wheat holiday came, many children came out to sell popsicles, and I asked my grandfather to get me a small wooden box and put it on the back seat of my bicycle to sell around. The other little boys were just yelling on the road. However, I changed my business philosophy, not only shouting but also delivering goods to my door, and personally went to the wheat field to ask one by one. As soon as people take the initiative to send it to the door, they will ask casually, how much is a piece? I immediately smiled and said a dime. At that time, the wholesale was four dollars a dime, and selling to others was two dollars a dime, half of the profits, but the competition was still quite fierce. The peasant woman said, 'Everyone else sells for a dime, why don't you sell a dime?' I rubbed the mud on my face and said, 'I'm a big guy, and they're all a little bit.' Do you want my mother (two) cents to give you five? I'm going to lose a dime......"
Zhicheng was amused by her bulging expression. I couldn't help but use the crook of my leg to grab the fleshy leg under her table.
"What are you laughing at? It's true. I've been a businessman since I was a kid. Many peasant women laughed and said, 'You little boy is so speculative.' After saying that, he handed me two cents and asked for five...... When I got home in the evening, I asked my grandfather, "Grandpa, what is speculation?" My grandfather pinched my pigtails a little confused and said, "Nier, what are you asking for?" I pouted and said unhappily: Hmph, the old ladies who bought sorbets scolded me for speculation. As a result, my grandfather's tears overflowed...... Later, in order to win the sympathy of everyone, I brought a bottle of water and sprinkled it on myself when I went to the field, pretending to be tired and sweating all over my body to earn some hard-earned money...... At that time, I could earn four or five yuan a day, and I could earn more than ten yuan when I was good. Later, I noticed that there were always some young boys of the same age fighting and playing on the side of the road. He looked at me with no money and just wanted to eat popsicles. My head was spinning at the time, so why not use them to help me. So I gave each of them a popsicle and asked them to push the ice cream box for me so I didn't have to get tired. Later, I gave them a piece of sorbet every day to be my employee, and I became a veritable little boss. I traded six or seven pieces of sorbet, or less than two cents, for the cheapest labor in the world. Then I expanded the scale, and instead of wholesale half a box, I wholesaled a large box full of sorbet, and asked each of them to help me shout loudly in the field, and I just collected the money and sat on the fish. This way my profits have increased dramatically, and I don't have to exert any effort at all. Then I started to monopolize the market, which meant that I didn't allow other children to sell it in the field, because I was followed by a large group of little boys, so if I yelled, the other children who sold sorbet were scared away. After running for a while, I waved my hand domineeringly and said to the soldier behind me, damn, beat him for me. Cluck...... After monopolizing the fields, I began to raise prices again. Because I eliminated my competitors, I went from two dollars a dime to a dime a piece. They can only buy mine if they want to eat. Isn't my little girl selling sorbet smarter than the little match girl in Hans Christian Andersen's pen? Later, I also increased the salary of their small employees, and paid two cents each. Don't look at the two cents, they can't find the north and obey me. When I told my third aunt about my business journey since I was a child, my third aunt smiled from ear to ear and immediately said that after I graduated from college, she was willing to hire me as her personal assistant with an annual salary of 60 million...... I'm not exaggerating at all, really, my third aunt is very rich, and she also likes me very much, and has asked me to work in her company after graduating from college more than once. She also gave me a nickname, Little Land King. This name has a history, in the second year of the 11th Golden Week, at the invitation of my third aunt, my grandmother, my mother, my fourth aunt and I went to Shenzhen for sightseeing. My third aunt took us to many scenic spots, such as Window of the World, Happy Valley, Lotus Mountain, and Diwang Building, a landmark building in Shenzhen at that time. After coming down from the top floor, my grandmother and my mother were amazed by this 'tall and thin man' (Diwang Building). Only I wriggled my little ass dismissively and said, 'What's so great about this, it doesn't move like a stake...... Hum! I am the king of Shenzhen Mobile! At that time, the crowd was amused. Since then, my third aunt has jokingly called me the king of the little land as soon as she saw me......"
Zhicheng pinched her face in admiration and said, "Hmph, your Xiaoni speaks in an unusual tone, worthy of being a dragon and phoenix among people!" No wonder the third aunt has taken a fancy to you. Whoever had an assistant like you would be a real embarrass......"
"Giggles, it's kind of boastful. My third aunt also praised me like this, in fact, my third aunt is most grateful to my parents. It can be said that without my parents, there would be no her today, when my third aunt came back from studying abroad and went directly to Shenzhen, but she never found the right job, she didn't want to enter the company to be bound by others, she always wanted to start a career by herself, but there was not much start-up capital. So I started to borrow money from a few brothers and sisters, but my grandmother is a very responsible person and doesn't want my third aunt to start a business, so I want her to find a good unit to work safely and securely, and get an iron job. So my grandmother said at that time that no one was allowed to lend money to my third aunt, and then my third aunt secretly found my mother, my mother was her second sister, and she told my mother some of her thoughts, wanting to prove her ability in Shenzhen or something. My mother couldn't stand my third aunt's hard work, so she had to agree to sponsor her. But at that time, my parents didn't have much money, and after discussing with my father, my mother gave my third aunt all their savings of 40,000 yuan without telling my grandmother, which was a big amount at that time. My third aunt got the money and went to Shenzhen with great ambition, just started to be a clothing agent, it was very smooth, and I earned forty or fifty thousand yuan a year, my third aunt was going to return the money to my mother, my mother said that your career has just started to do the capital first, anyway, we don't need it. My third aunt was not in a hurry to pay it back, but later, due to a mistake in the evaluation of the market, my third aunt blindly expanded the scale in a hurry for quick success, so that the products were unsalable, and a large amount of inventory could not be sold, resulting in the inability to turn over funds, the wages of workers could not be paid, and finally the company went bankrupt. This hit my third aunt across, the first felt that she was too incompetent, the second was that she felt sorry for my parents, and then her marriage failed, and this series of blows made her have no courage to live. Later, my third aunt committed suicide by cutting her wrists in her own factory, but fortunately she was saved by the workshop director at the time, and this workshop director later became my third aunt's husband. After my mother got the news, she and my father rushed to Shenzhen to visit my third aunt as soon as possible. My mother also hated it and mourned its misfortune. When the two sisters saw each other, they hugged their heads and cried, so my mother comforted my third aunt not to worry about anything, and to take care of her body first. On the day my third aunt was discharged from the hospital, my mother went up and slapped my third aunt in the face, asking her why she committed suicide, is it because of this frustration in front of her, is it just because of this little setback? My third aunt knelt in front of my mother and said that she was too incompetent, she lost all the hundreds of thousands of yuan, and she really didn't have the face to see her, and her live-in boyfriend also dumped her. My mother said, are all the men in the world dead, are they not alive without him, and said that money is important or life is important, I will hide from our mother to give you money, if you die, how can I explain to my mother, the two sisters are talking and crying. My dad also blamed my third aunt for not doing this. Later, my mother took care of my third aunt in Shenzhen for more than 20 days, and after my father returned to Hechang, he raised 50,000 yuan from his relatives and friends, and came to Shenzhen again to hand over to my third aunt to let her start all over again. At that moment, my mother and my third aunt burst into tears. My mother is glad that she has a good husband, and my third aunt is grateful that she has a good brother-in-law. This time, my third aunt can be said to be cautious and step-by-step in the business field, and when she encounters difficulties, she asks my mother for advice, in fact, my mother is very economical, but my mother is not interested in business, and she also looks at money very lightly. To put it bluntly, my mother is a person who has affection and love, but has no desires and no desires. Otherwise, my mom would definitely be a business elite. Although my third aunt has done a lot of business a few years ago, it has always been in the garment industry, very single, and it was my mother who saw the business opportunity for my third aunt to enter the Shenzhen real estate market. At first, my third aunt was a little worried, because the interlacing was like a mountain, and my mother was giving her advice behind the scenes. At the beginning, it was only to develop some small real estate in Longgang and Bao'an, outside the Guan. Later, it became bigger and bigger, from Shajing to Longhua, from Pinghu to Buji, and then to Nanshan Futian, Luohu. This one was out of control, and in 2014, all the assets of my third aunt exceeded 10 billion. Awesome! Now my third aunt is still grateful to my parents and bought the best house for my mother in Shenzhen and Beijing. Every time my mother goes to Shenzhen, my third aunt has to go to the airport to greet her in person, no matter how busy she is. My mother sometimes pinched my third aunt's face and jokingly asked, did the slap my sister hit hurt back then, so my third aunt hugged my mother and coquettishly. There is a Simei shopping center in Hechang City, which is opened by my third aunt with an investment of 180 million yuan, with five floors above ground and two floors underground, with a business area of more than 70,000 square meters and more than 1,800 employees. At present, it is the largest one-stop shopping place in our Hechang city. Originally, my third aunt was going to use my mother's name, but my mother thought it was too public, so she changed it to Simei Shopping Center. There is also the art building of our school, when this building was built, my third aunt donated 5 million as a well-known alumnus. In fact, the funds for this building were all donated by well-known alumni, and the government did not spend a penny. How? My third aunt is amazing. Brother, in the future, you can also go to work in my third aunt's company, give me 60 million, and at least give you 30 million ......"
Zhicheng listened to Xue Lian's habit about her third aunt's entrepreneurship, and couldn't help but respect Xue Lian's parents very much. How he wanted to join their family and be one of them in the future. Zhicheng smiled enviously and said, "Little sister, don't tease, I'll be satisfied if I can give me 30,000 a year...... Your parents are so nice. ”
Xue Lian said: "My mother's most discerning place is to find a good man like my father, when my mother wanted to marry my father, the whole family was against it, because my father was nothing at that time, he came from the countryside and was poor and white and 8 years older than my mother. At that time, my third aunt was studying in college in other places, my fourth aunt was still young, and my two younger sisters were not involved in this matter. This doesn't work, and that doesn't hit. Anyway, in her eyes, my dad is not good at all. In fact, my aunt is very snobbish, and she loves to take advantage, as a junior, I may be disrespectful to say this, but objectively speaking, she is such a person. My aunt was married at the time. My eldest sister-in-law is a serious state cadre in a government unit. The family conditions are definitely much better than my dad. So she looked down on my dad from the bottom of her heart...... It can be said that it took a lot of trouble for my parents to come together. It turned out that my mother's marriage was the happiest. My mother and her sisters have their own characteristics, if you want to say that the most beautiful is my fourth aunt, the richest is of course my third aunt, and the most untroubled is my aunt. The happiest person in the family is my mother. My aunt often divorced my aunt because of her bad temper, and the relationship between the two was good and bad. Although my third aunt is very rich, but the relationship has not been smooth, I experienced a failed marriage when I was young, and then I was accidentally cheated by a man of a lot of money, so my third aunt was very disappointed in the man, and later married herself to the workshop director who saved her life, and now the two have a seven-year-old daughter, and they are quite happy. My mom is different, my mom and my dad can be said to have fallen in love at first sight, the two are simply a natural pair. Of my mother's four sisters, my family was the poorest. But it is also the most fulfilling and happiest. Don't look at my dad as the director, so far my parents don't have a property in Hechang City, and they don't have a private car. Our family still lives in the Education Bureau Family Building. Which of my three aunts is not a hundred times stronger than our family. My third aunt won't talk about it, billionaire sister, I'm afraid there is no comparison with Hechang in the whole of it. My aunt originally didn't have much money, only relying on the salary of two people to have a few dollars, my aunt actually didn't have any economic acumen but always fantasized about getting rich overnight, just started playing stocks, was trapped a lot of money, and then my aunt invested in this and that, but didn't make any money. And both of them love to gamble, and my aunt now has nothing to do every day, so she knows that she plays mahjong with a cigarette in her mouth, and she doesn't play black or white. I really don't know what it's like to play every day, and I lose more and win less. My mother often talks about her, and she can't listen to her, after all, she is a sister, and she doesn't listen to what my mother says lightly, and she makes her angry when she says it is heavy. So now my mom is too lazy to care. Although my aunt's family property is currently tens of millions, these are basically my third aunt's assets. My third aunt built three high-end office buildings in Dongcheng District in 06, and I originally wanted my mother to manage it, but my mother, as a people's teacher, has time to take care of that. Later, my aunt took the initiative to find my third aunt and said that she would manage it. Who knew that after a few years, it slowly became hers. Now those three buildings are under my aunt's name, don't underestimate these three buildings, the rent alone is millions a year. Her family has two villas and four luxury cars. Porsche Cayenne, BMW X7, Land Rover, and an Audi A8 that I just bought. What do you say you're buying so many cars for? It's rusty every day. My mom always rides an electric bike to and from work. This spring, my third aunt bought my mother a red Mercedes-Benz and asked my mother to drive it to and from work, but my mother drove it for less than ten days and didn't want to drive it. One is because it is too flamboyant, the second is that you can't find a place to park, and the third is the morning rush hour traffic congestion, which is not as fast and convenient as an electric car. So my mom drove for ten days, and then she still rode an electric car to and from work. Later, my aunt said that you don't drive anyway, and it is better to park outside every day in her garage. My mom didn't take the car seriously at all, and said you should just drive away. It was taken away by my aunt. My mom didn't want it, and she didn't give it, so she left it there. I can't even look past it sometimes, your family has four luxury cars, why do you get our family this one. I'd rather give it to a stranger than give it to her. My dad laughed and said, just drive away. Otherwise, others will think that my father was corrupt and bribed. My dad is as reserved as you are. Be positive and low-key. The face is born from the heart, and it is very decent at first glance. As a bureau chief, my dad never went to entertainment venues, let alone night clubs. It's a rarity. It can be said that my mother is definitely his favorite, and my grandfather's words and deeds are also very important, because my grandmother died very early, and my grandfather spent the second half of his life with the thought of my grandmother, raising his children one by one, and he has never married. This spirit of loyalty must have had a profound impact on my dad. My third aunt once joked with my mother that if she could, she would use all her possessions in exchange for my father. Even my fourth aunt's criteria for finding a partner are like my father's. It shows how charismatic my dad is. My mother also often told me that the standard of a good man is not to see how handsome and handsome he is, nor how rich and talented he is, let alone how good he is to talk and how much he can make women happy. It depends on how decent he is, how dedicated he is, whether he can be reliable, whether he is responsible and responsible, whether he is full of kindness in his bones, and whether he loves you from the bottom of his heart. Brother, I hope you can be a person like my dad, who is consistent with the woman you love, and who admires and cares for her from the bottom of your heart. ”
Zhicheng smiled and said, "If I can meet a woman like your mother, I can definitely become a man like your father." ”
Xue Lian giggled and slapped him on the shoulder, and said shyly, "I hope we can perform their love legend." ”
