Chapter 4 Section 4 The old lady is not old and talks about business on the train
The old lady said to Meilian that she wanted to go to the bathroom and asked her to accompany her, Meilian was afraid that she would fall, so she helped her to go to the car to find the toilet, and when she arrived at the sink, the old lady said to Meilian: "Meilian, did you just hear Mr. Chen say that his goods are sold in major stores in Hengzhou, and they are in short supply?"
"I heard it, his cloth is of good quality, everyone likes it when they see it, it must be easy to sell!" Mei Lian really likes Mr. Chen's cloth, and if she has the money, she is willing to buy it to make clothes.
"Then didn't you think that we could also ask Mr. Chen to transfer some goods?" The old lady stared at Meilian and asked.
"What are we going to do here? Do you really want to buy his goods? Mei Lian was surprised by the old lady's thoughts, and she didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in the reluge.
"Yes, we can't go back to the countryside now, we can only find something to do in Hengzhou, I guess it's not easy to find, I did business in my early years, it's better for us to find a fixed place to settle down in the future, help Mr. Chen put the goods next, we ourselves are also in the store to sell, the store is expensive, we can sell cheaper, as long as the thing is good, we are not afraid that no one will buy it, if we really can't sell it, we can give it to the store to sell, they are not in short supply? I heard Mr. Chen say that it is always short-term. The old lady looked at Meilian, as if she already had an idea.
"I haven't done business before, you're so old, such a big heart will ruin your body." Meilian looked at the old lady timidly, she had never done business alone, and when she was a daughter in her mother's house, she only helped her parents clear the goods and collect money, she did not participate in the business at all, to be precise, she had not done business.
"You don't have to be afraid, I have me in the business calculations, I'm just older now, I don't get in the way, those business experiences are still there, I'm responsible for talking about business, you can do what I say first." The old lady seemed to be very sophisticated, and looking at Meilian's frightened appearance, she told her not to be nervous, just follow her first.
"The founding of the country, the separation of our mother and mother must be fully psychologically prepared, for a while and a half will definitely not be able to wait for him, Taiwan we can't get by, so we must first find a way to survive in Hengzhou, I will definitely not be able to find something to do at my age, no one hires, you have no unique job in the hands of a woman's family, it is estimated that it is difficult to find trouble, and we have no foundation in Hengzhou, there is no one to rely on, there is no place to take us in, we all have to rely on ourselves, we must find a way not to starve to death in Hengzhou, to live, Now maybe Mr. Chen is the noble person of our life, and we have to seize this rare opportunity!" The old lady said to Meilian that she knew very well what kind of situation she was in and what kind of way she needed to solve her worries.
"But......" Meilian wanted to speak and stopped, she couldn't say anything, every word of the old lady was a real fact, what could she say?
"I called you here to talk just to tell you that I have this idea, and when I talk about business with him, you have to know my idea, you just listen, I'm not sure he will agree now, but generally business people will be willing as long as it is beneficial to themselves and the business with low cost is generally willing." The old lady seemed to be confident, and she confidently told Meilian.
"Okay, you can just think about it, I'll just follow you and learn to do it." Meilian responded in a whisper, but she still didn't know the bottom in her heart.
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to their seats, they brought a bag of oranges to Mr. Chen, because they met a vendor selling oranges on the train, everyone happily chatted and ate oranges, which was a rare happiness on the train journey!
