Chapter 12: Turning Fake into Reality
On the first night of their new home, when Xu Dong and his wife lay down in bed, it was almost early in the morning.
Yang Lina was about to turn off the light and go to bed, when she saw Xu Dong take out a small gift box out of nowhere and stuff it nervously into the palm of her hand.
"What's so mysterious?"
Xu Dong didn't speak, and motioned for the other party to open the gift box with his own hands.
Yang Lina carefully opened the wrapping paper, revealing a small square box the size of a fist, and couldn't help but think about it.
"Open it up." Xu Dong urged.
"Click... Smack..."
There was a sparkling diamond ring lying in the box, which was the pink diamond ring that Xu Dong had bought for 300 before.
Yang Lina covered her mouth in surprise and whispered, "Husband, is this a real diamond ring?" ”
"Of course it's true." Xu Dong stretched out three fingers, "It's worth this number!" ”
"Thirty thousand?"
Xu Dong shook his head and reminded: "This is a two-carat pink diamond, how can it be worth a mere 30,000 yuan." ”
When Yang Lina heard this, she hurriedly took her mobile phone from the bedside and searched for it quickly.
In less than a minute, she raised her head sharply and asked tentatively in a trembling voice, "It can't be three million, right?" ”
"Bingo ......" Xu Dong snapped his fingers.
"Husband, you're crazy, how can you buy such an expensive thing?" Yang Lina couldn't understand Xu Dong's thinking for a while.
Xu Dong joked: "Wife, didn't I tell you a long time ago, our family will not be short of money in the future, you have to adapt to the life of a rich person as soon as possible." ”
"Shit rich man, you just took shit luck this time, but people won't be lucky for a lifetime, according to your spending speed, our family will lose sooner or later." Yang Lina said coquettishly.
Xu Dong was speechless when he was refuted, it is such a reason, but he is a reborn person after all!
He has already reserved the strongest foundation for this family, which is enough to cope with the great changes in the next few decades, and besides, he only loses the family once in a while, so it doesn't hurt at all.
Yang Lina saw that her husband seemed to be suppressed, so she hit the railway while it was hot:
"You can take the diamond ring and return it, and the returned money will be used to open a supermarket, as long as the supermarket is run well, our family will have a firm foothold in Yanjing."
Xu Dong couldn't resist his wife, so he had to retreat and persuade again: "Anyway, I bought it back, even if I want to return, I can't return it in a while, it's better for you to wear it first, and then ...... when I find a good buyer."
Yang Lina hurriedly interrupted: "No, I can't get used to wearing such an expensive diamond ring, if it is broken, then I will regret it to death, you should take it!" ”
After saying that, close the diamond ring box and gently place it on the bedside table.
As a woman, how can you not love jewelry?
It's just that as a mother of five children, Yang Lina has her own considerations, and her family has been lucky to have the dignity she has today, and she doesn't want to leave any hidden dangers for this family.
Xu Dong had no choice but to hug his wife and punish her severely.
As for the ownership of the diamond ring, it seems that it can't be kept, but I just hope that it won't depreciate too quickly, after all, the water in it is very deep, and he is extremely satisfied with the fact that he can recover 2.5 million.
……
Early the next morning, the first thing Xu Dong had to do was to get his household registration right, and in a few days it would be the day when the school would start, so he could not delay the children from going to school.
The matter of household registration is more troublesome, but fortunately, Xu Dong's materials are very well prepared, and it only took one morning to get things done.
The new household registration book will take about a week to wait, just in time for the start of school, so there should be no major problems.
After getting the hukou thing done, Xu Dong had to face a big trouble next, that is, opening a supermarket.
Originally, opening a supermarket was just a pretense, but I didn't expect my family to attach so much importance to it, so that Xu Dong had no room for maneuver.
Since it is irretrievable, then it can only be done in a fake way.
The next morning, Xu Dong drove a car and Xu's father appeared at the door of the small supermarket.
The supermarket is almost a kilometer away from the quadrangle, just a few minutes away.
Looking at the store in front of him, which was less than 80 square meters, Xu's father's disappointment was beyond words.
"That's it?"
"Yes, online shopping is very common now, and big supermarkets are risky and not cost-effective." Xu Dong's mouth was full of words.
Dad Xu is not easy to bluff, "Then why are you hoarding so many goods, you can't sell them for decades, why are you waiting for them to expire?" ”
Generally, the turnover of small supermarkets is between a few thousand and 10,000 yuan per day.
There are 60 million worth of goods hoarded in the basement, and maybe they can be sold for thirty or forty years.
Xu Dong quickly used his brain and quickly found a new explanation.
"Well, this is only the first one, and dozens of them will be opened in a row, otherwise with just one supermarket, you won't even be able to earn back the tuition fees of Coco and Lele."
"With so many supermarkets open at once, can you take care of it?" Xu's father questioned again.
"I opened this one before the Chinese New Year, mainly to train employees, after all, they are all small supermarkets, the threshold is low, and when you have experience, it will be much easier to expand later."
Xu Dong forcibly explained based on his many years of work experience in a logistics company.
Dad Xu finally nodded with satisfaction, at least his son's head didn't harden as soon as he got hot, so he could still clearly recognize the difficulties.
Next, the father and son started cleaning, and the supermarket was full of dust, which had not been opened for more than two months.
After cleaning, the father and son discussed the purchase of goods.
When I first took over the supermarket, everything else was ready-made except for the lack of merchandise in the supermarket, but now I can reopen as soon as I put the merchandise on the shelves.
According to Xu Dong's meaning, supermarkets will focus on fresh food and food in the future, and the prices of goods will be between large supermarkets and vegetable markets, and the customers will mainly be young office workers.
If you do this, you may lose a little bit before the year, but after the Spring Festival, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
Either you don't do it, or you have to do it your best, this is Xu Dong's life creed.
Dad Xu disagreed, thinking that the loss rate of fresh goods was not easy to control and could easily cause losses, so it was better to be safe and buy more daily necessities.
In the end, Xu Dong successfully persuaded his father for the simple reason that most of the goods hoarded in the basement of the family were mainly food, and there was a lot of pressure to destock.
On the way home, Xu's father was still complaining that Xu Dong didn't know how to do business and had too many backlogs.
Xu Dong said that risks and opportunities coexist, and at the beginning, it was also to take over other people's inventory, the price was very low, as long as the operation is good, the profit prospects are very impressive.
The more Xu Dong talked, the more hilarious he became, and with a lot of insider information he had heard in the logistics company before, he was simply running a train with his mouth full.
"All the goods, I have done vacuum sealing, the shelf life is not a problem, the big deal is to open it in bulk in the future, and when the time comes, everyone will rush to buy it."
Dad Xu saw the ugly face of a capitalist this time, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
In the end, he only replied with a dry sentence: "Do business with integrity." ”
