The three former classmates got together, especially Lu Hui and Fang Hanmin, who had not heard from each other since they graduated from high school, and finally got together today, they had mixed feelings, sighed that time had passed, and asked each other about their past and current situation.

Although Lu Hui also walked into the college entrance examination room with other classmates back then, he was purely to cope with errands, because his academic performance was very poor, and he never had the luxury of going to college entrance examination.

Lu Hui's hometown is located on the street of a township, although his parents are not farmers, but they do not have a regular job, they have been relying on the township street as a temporary worker to make a living, after the policy was liberalized, they relied on their house on the street to open a shop on the street to do groceries.

In addition to a state-run store on the street, Lu Hui's parents' shop is the second store in the town, with the advantages of more varieties and good service attitude, coupled with the long business hours, business was very good in the first few years. Knowing that their son's academic performance was poor, his parents had no unrealistic requirements for Lu Hui, and they planned to let him go home and do business with them after Lu Hui graduated from high school.

Knowing the news of the failure of the college entrance examination, Lu Hui and his parents were very calm, because they didn't have any hope in the first place. Back at home, Lu Hui only rested for two days, and then came to the store to help his parents take care of business, but at this time, there were already three or four individual merchants on the street, and the consumption capacity of the township was very limited, and there were more merchants, and competition appeared all of a sudden, and Lu Hui's shop, both in terms of turnover and profit, fell by more than half compared with the first few years.

More than a month later, Lu Hui went to the county to buy goods, he took the opportunity to make an investigation of the business environment in the county, through analysis, he believes that his parents' shop is located in the township street, facing consumers not only not strong purchasing power, but also the consumer market is too small, once there is competition, business will be difficult.

Lu Hui believes that he can't limit himself to a township street, he has to go out, otherwise, his future survival is a problem, from the perspective of development, I don't know how long his parents' shop can operate.

After knowing Lu Hui's thoughts, his mother did not speak, and his father disagreed with his point of view, "The market in our township street is indeed not big, but the operating cost is low. ”

"Of course, there is a lot of booth rental, but you can't imagine the shipment volume of each booth! I did my research and calculated that even after deducting the rent, the daily profit is several times more than the shops on the streets of your township! ”

Lu Hui's words stimulated his father's sensitive nerves, and Old Lu said angrily, "What's wrong with the shops on the township streets? You kid looks down on this shop, but at least it's stable and won't lose money! If the business in the county is messed up, you won't even be able to earn the rent of the stall, and you will have no money to go home with you, and you won't have time to cry! ”

"This only shows that you are cowardly! In the face of the county's market and huge consumer groups, how can it lose money? I think as soon as you take the first step, you will have confidence. ”

As the only child in the family, Lu Hui usually talks casually in front of his parents, but Lao Lu can't accept his arrogant tone, "I'm timid? You kid go and inquire, our store is the first individual industrial and commercial household in the town! ”

"I admit you had the guts then, but what now? There are more shops in town, do you still have a way? ”

"Don't say it's useless! If you want us to open a store in the county, I will definitely not go! "Lao Lu has his own determination.

Seeing that he couldn't convince his father, Lu Hui simply had a showdown, "Whether you go or not, I don't count, but I must leave here!" ”

"You kid have stiff wings, you want to get out of here? All right! Be my guest. ”

"However, I went to the county seat to do business, you have to give me funds!" Only in this matter, Lu Hui has no confidence.

Lao Lu smiled contemptuously, "Hahaha, give you funds?" It's you yourself who are willing to go out, and you can't persuade you, and we haven't forced you, so why should we give you funds? ”

"This ......" Lu Hui was speechless for a while, "Dad, can you be reasonable?" ”

"I think you kid is just messing around! If you don't listen to advice, you have become unreasonable, and you talk like this? ”

The views of father and son were diametrically opposed, and Lu Hui's mother didn't seem to approve of him going out, and the atmosphere in the house became suffocating, but Lu Hui had already made up his mind, and he thought of a plan to break the boat, "Mom and Dad, I heard that you have prepared a sum of money for me to get married and start a family, is there such a thing?" ”

"Yes, yes, why are you asking this?" Parents find it inexplicable.

"I have a request, I want you to give me this money in advance."

"You don't even have a girlfriend, why should you give this money in advance?"

"Sooner or later, this money will not be mine, I want to use this money to start a business."

Lao Lu slapped the table, "Use this money to start a business?" Think beautifully! If you lose money, you will need money to get married and start a family in the future, where can we get it for you? As you all know, business is getting harder and harder to do now, and it's getting harder and harder to make money. ”

"You give me this money now, and I will get married and start a family in the future, I will never have to worry about you, and I will never ask you for money in the future."

"That's a nice thing to say, if you lose the money, you will get married and start a family in the future, if we really don't care, what will relatives and friends say?" Lao Lu glanced at his son angrily.

"What do you care about them? If you don't talk about our family, I won't talk about it, can outsiders know? If you don't feel at ease, I can give you a handprint. ”

When Lu Hui said this, his mother was moved with compassion, "Old Lu, why don't you give the money to the child and let him go out." ”

"How can you agree to his request ......? Are you responsible for breaking into trouble? For his wife's attitude, Lao Lu felt incredible.

"Can you please recite some good mantras? One bite at a time, one bite at a time, in your mind, is our son so incompetent? Although Lu Hui's academic performance is not good, he has a flexible mind and is better than you! And I'm also a high school graduate, why are you looking down on me so lowly? ”

This number of things fell down, so that Lao Lu was speechless, and after holding it for a long time, he said innocently: "I'm also for his good, I'm afraid that he will take risks, you still don't understand me!" ”

"You're almost there, for his good? You have to leave him on our street, what can you do in such a small place with a lot of nooks? My son told you that he would rather sign and draw the note and bear the risk himself, what do you want him to do? ”

After tasting it carefully, Lao Lu felt that his wife's words made some sense, but he was unwilling to admit defeat, "Good people let you be, okay, I don't care, you can do whatever you want." ”

"Don't say that, don't care about it, the child uses the money to do the right thing, not to eat, drink and have fun." ......

Lu Hui took a sum of money given to him by his parents, first went to Shuangling City and the provincial capital of this province to inspect the purchase channels and prices, and then returned to the county seat and rented a shop in the largest wholesale market in the county to engage in the wholesale of hardware, household appliances and plumbing equipment.

In the first few months, because of his lack of experience, Lu Hui suffered a lot of losses, except for paying rent and paying wages to the two workers he hired, he barely earned much money. But Lu Hui was born to be a businessman, and in less than half a year, he was not only proficient in various ways, but also opened up important joints. At that time, home appliances such as TVs, refrigerators and washing machines were in great demand, and Lu Hui could always get a supply of goods through his connections, which made his peers envious.

In just a few years, Lu Hui has tripled the size of his stores in the wholesale market, employing more than 10 employees, and is one of the top five merchants in the wholesale market in terms of turnover.

Lu Hui's experience made Fang Hanmin and Yu Dongmei very interested, and they both raised their glasses at the same time, "Lu Hui, cheers to your aggressiveness and success!" ”

After putting down the cup, Yu Dongmei couldn't get enough of Lu Hui's story, "Now, your father's attitude towards you has changed, right?" ”

"Except for the Chinese New Year, I usually don't see him, but when I got married last year, I really didn't ask my parents for a penny, I did what I said, I don't know what he thinks."

"You're all married? You didn't tell me, you're not interesting enough! Fang Hanmin said in surprise.

"I didn't know where you were last year, how can I tell you?"

"You didn't tell me, you didn't say you didn't know where I was, did you?" Yu Dongmei and Lu Hui have contact information with each other.

"At that time, I really wanted to inform you, but I considered that you are a teacher, and I was afraid that it would delay your work, and it was not convenient to go back and forth dozens of kilometers away, so I finally decided that it would be better not to disturb you." Lu Hui explained.

"Lu Hui, you have finally realized your dream of doing business, and we are happy for you! I wish you a bigger and bigger business! The trio raised their glasses again.

"Hanmin, my story is finished, in fact, I think your experience is even more legendary, now you have achieved so much and become a celebrity among our classmates, after graduating from high school, how did you come to work as a worker in the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory?" Lu Hui has been holding back this question for a long time.

"First of all, I want to correct your statement that I went to the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory not as a worker, but as a temporary worker. Also, I'm not a celebrity now, I'm just an ordinary employee of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory. ”

"Hanmin, you are always so low-key, and you are on the news of newspapers, radio stations and TV stations at the same time, this is not famous, what is a celebrity? Wait, maybe there will be many more classmates calling you these days. ”

As soon as he heard this, Fang Hanmin hurriedly got vaccinated, "Lu Hui, don't spread this matter among your classmates, the news has passed, if you don't know, it's best to let them never know!" ”

Lu Hui was very witty, "Yes, it's better not to spread it, because many of our classmates are still in their hometowns in the countryside, and they want to go to the city to find something to do, but they don't have a way." If you know that the old squad leader is a celebrity from the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory and comes to ask you for help, can you arrange for them to enter the factory as temporary workers? ”

As soon as the words fell, Fang Hanmin hurriedly declared: "You stop!" I'm the deputy head of the technical section, how can I have such a big ability? My own brother is still farming in his hometown. ”

"Don't worry, I understand your difficulties and won't cause you trouble. Hanmin, you are our class president, I thought that you were very serious in your work, and you could do your job well wherever you go, but where did you learn your modern scientific and technological knowledge? That's not easy! "Lu Hui's question is of interest to all those who care about Fang Hanmin.

Fang Hanmin has faced this problem countless times, even Director Yuan, the leader of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, is very curious about Fang Hanmin's mastery of so many modern pharmaceutical technologies, although every explanation is far-fetched, but no one is embarrassed to get to the bottom of this kind of thing.
