Chapter 13: You Can't Imagine and Predict: Different People's Different Lives

"She is also a graduate student from a prestigious university, and since she married me, she has been chasing dramas at home every day and doing nothing. We don't have children, it's not appropriate for her to be so wasted, wouldn't it be nice to do something with you? Deal with children and parents every day, accumulate some parenting experience, and use it when you have children in the future. The more he talked, the more excited he became about his idea.

"In this way, you invest half of the money you use to open the store, I invest half of it, and you bring my wife. So be it! Ping Yi felt that this lunch was the biggest gain.

"I suggest you discuss it with your wife, after all, first, this is your family investment, your money is also her money, what to invest in, let her know that it will be better; Second, if you let her open a store with me, she has to be willing. What if she doesn't like it? Can you still force her to come? "Ning Qian has seen Pingyi's wife, at that time they had just gotten married, the girl is tall and delicate, outstanding, highly educated, high starting point, Pingyi is very proud to find such an outstanding wife. Later, her wife almost didn't come out to meet his classmates and friends, and I heard Ping Yi say that she enjoyed life at home every day, rarely went out, and lived a very comfortable life.

"In this way, I still make a business plan, you and your wife come out together, I will make a formal introduction to you, and you both agree, we will open a store together again, do you think?" Ning Qian felt that after all, it was the husband who took out the family's money, and many full-time wives would have a lot of ideas and even turn the world upside down if they didn't know about it, and if they knew it in the future, it would be safer to be open and honest. What's more, two people open a store together, both of them contribute money and effort, whether they have the same temperament or not, will determine whether they can cooperate in the future, and basic communication is still necessary.

Ning Qian conscientiously made a business plan for investing in and opening a store, printed it, bound it into a book, and formally introduced it to Pingyi and his wife who were sitting opposite him in a business café in the evening after Pingyi's work. Ping Yi listened very attentively, discussing with Ning Qian from time to time, and the more he chatted, the happier he became, while his wife kept yawning the whole time, one after another. Yawning is contagious, and there seem to be countless sleepy insects flying around her, making Ning Qian, who was originally energetic, and even Ping Yi, yawn two or three times.

She didn't listen to a word at all, and apparently, she didn't even seem interested in participating in their conversation. Ning Qian tried to arouse her interest many times, but she only raised her eyelids, glanced blankly in their direction, and then fell into a state of distraction and dozing. Ning Qian had never seen such a sleepy person, so she hurriedly said to each other: "Let's talk about this here today." Ping Yi also felt embarrassed and patted his wife, she opened her eyes in fright and said in horror, "Is it over?" Then he couldn't stand up, so Ping Yi had to get his wife out with a pull, and said to Ning Qian as he walked, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

Not long after Ning Qian returned home, she received a call from Ping Yi: "It's really embarrassing today, my wife fell asleep as soon as she came home, and she was snoring at this moment." ”

"I asked her on the road just now, why is she so sleepy, she said that she chased the drama all night, and when I went home, she said that she was sleepy, and I pulled her out, thinking that it would be better to blow the wind outside, who knows, it's still like this."

"When I told you about this idea, I was actually quite confident in my heart, after all, she is a graduate student, and she has both talent and ability, and I think she will like the decision I made for her."

"I originally wanted to spend some money and let her open a store with you, something to do, don't be so wasted day by day, looking at her like this today, she will definitely not be able to do it, and following you is also your burden. I'm really sorry that you made the plan so seriously......" Ping Yi sighed.

"Where are you sorry? Your starting point is to find something to do for your wife, and if you can't achieve this goal, of course, you don't have to think about investment. You've helped me so much, and now you're still saying such kind things to me, how can I be embarrassed? ”

Originally, he didn't expect Pingyi's investment, so Ning Qian didn't have any disappointment, and hurriedly continued to calculate the money in his hand.

You can't use it all to open a store. List what you can take out to the greatest extent possible, and then calculate how much is missing. If you don't have enough money, you can only save cash by negotiating on business terms. For example, can the number of months of mortgage be shortened? Can you bargain for decoration? Cut some down, pay in several installments, or leave a quality deposit, and pay it after a certain period of time...... After the goal of the negotiation was determined, Ning Qian followed this direction. Finally, all cash expenditures were kept within the budget.

The store has begun to be renovated, where can the clerk find it?

Xiao Xiang, one of Aimee's aunts and responsible for taking care of the children, always talks about her family in front of Aimee. All of them work in Shanghai, especially the sister-in-law, who takes her niece, who has just turned 18 years old, to work part-time and earn money every day. Aimee thought that this niece was so young and had limited prospects for working as a part-time worker, so she asked Xiao Xiang to ask her niece if she was interested in working in their company and working as a salesperson in the store.

Xiao Xiang was so happy that she immediately called her sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law was so happy that she immediately asked the little girl to come to the company.

When Aimee took Penny at the door of the store under renovation and interviewed Xiang Qinqin, Xiang Qinqin dragged the corner of his clothes with a shy face, and he didn't even dare to look at them. Aimee patiently guided her, and finally, she was willing to raise her head and speak. The little girl is white and red, and her eyes are round, which is very cute. Aimee introduced her to the job and told her that she would work here in the future, and she looked around and couldn't believe it: "Can I work in such a high-class place?" "Yes, this is the first floor of a high-end office building that has just been completed, there is heating in winter, there is air conditioning in summer, and directly opposite is a Western restaurant that has just opened and foreigners gather.

When Penny told Xiang Qinqin that she had a base salary of 1,000 yuan a month, a performance commission, 12 hours a day, and two days off a month, she said shyly but firmly: "Impossible!" Aimee and Penny asked her what she meant by impossible, and she said, "It's impossible to give me so much money, how can I make so much money?" "Yes, live-in aunt, it's only five or six hundred and one month. When Aimee told her that she was indeed being paid so much, she was still a little skeptical.

"Then why do you have two days off a month?" It can be seen that when Xiang Qinqin asked this, he really mustered up courage.

"Are you too little?" Aimee found her reaction unusual.

(Author's note: Readers who asked Xiang Qinqin if he violated labor laws by taking only two days off a month, this was February 2003.) Although the Labour Code came into force on 1 January 1995, by this time the implementing rules had not been perfected. )
