The three of them went to the city center and found a small restaurant to eat.

In recent years, there were not many people eating out at the restaurant, so after ordering a few meals, they were quickly served one by one.

"Eat it hot." Chen Jixing greeted his sister and said with a smile: "This meal is specially invited for you to eat, eat more, if it is not enough, call more, you must eat enough!" ”

Chen Xingling grinned, and the fox asked, "What's wrong?" What do you do all of a sudden? ”

"Thank you for coming!" Chen Jixing looked at his lover with gentle eyes, and then explained: "Your fourth sister-in-law's overseas Chinese certificate has finally been completed, and we have also taken a fancy to suitable shops and places nearby, and everything seems to be on the right track." ”

Chen Xingling was overjoyed: "Really? ”

Before, she accompanied her fourth brother to visit the entire Yucheng and locked a few good locations, but buying and selling land and property is a big deal, so she didn't dare to make a decision easily, she had to think about it carefully, and she had to discuss it carefully with her parents and brothers.

I didn't expect to make a decision so quickly!

"Hmm." Zhu Siya smiled gratefully: "After the overseas Chinese permit is issued, I can buy land and real estate here." The land that you and your fourth brother fancied before was very good, and after consulting two places, the leader of the sub-district office said that they could buy it, but it would take some time for the land procedures to be approved. ”

Chen Jixing patted his sister on the shoulder and said, "We decided to listen to you, don't rush to buy a house or build a house first, and use all the money on hand to start a business." ”

Since he bought the motorcycle, all the money he has saved around him is gone. Fortunately, my lover still has a large amount of savings by his side, and he originally planned to buy a place to build a house in the city, but his sister stopped them.

Xiaomei said that neither of them has a job now, and even if they have savings, they can't sit on the empty side. It's better to find a way to start a business in the city first, and live in the city for the time being, and don't worry about not having a good property to live in after making money.

"Yes." Zhu Siya echoed: "Find opportunities to make money first, and when you have money, you will think about other things later." ”

Chen Xingling laughed and said, "That's great! What do you think? Do you have any good plans at the moment? ”

"Not yet." Chen Jixing explained: "Buy the place first, then simply build it, and then figure out how to get what to do. ”

Chen Xingling couldn't help but ask, "How big is the place?" What did we like before? Which piece? ”

"It's also on the east side of the city." Chen Jixing explained: "The piece that is very close to the wharf, about 30 acres. The place is relatively deserted, and there are not many residents nearby, so I didn't plan to ask for it. However, your fourth sister-in-law said that since you want to buy it, you should simply buy a large piece, and if you want to expand and expand it in the future, you don't have to worry about finding other places to buy it. ”

Chen Xingling nodded in agreement: "Sister-in-law is right, since it is to be made into a construction site or factory, it is more appropriate to choose a large place." In addition, although it is a bit deserted over there, it is cheap. ”

"Yes." Chen Jixing lowered his voice: "One mu is at most one or two hundred yuan, which is indeed not expensive." We went and asked, if there is an overseas Chinese certificate, there can be a certain discount. ”

Chen Xingling couldn't help but ask: "Once the place is chosen, hurry up and buy it." Fourth brother, do you plan to do business or set up a small factory? If you are running a factory, you have to build it more spacious. ”

"I haven't made up my mind yet." Chen Jixing whispered: "Last time you said that you were doing foreign trade business, I was quite excited. First, your sister-in-law can speak a foreign language, and your siblings can also answer outside; Second, I am familiar with the foreign trade group, and I have some connections. ”

Chen Xingling approvingly: "I also think it's good." ”

"But you don't know what to buy?" Chen Jixing smiled bitterly: "What we have here, most of them over there." And people's industry is significantly more developed than ours. Our products don't have any advantages. ”

Chen Xingling shook his head: "There is no need to get any industrial products. We should choose something that has our local characteristics, the gimmick is big enough, and the attraction is big enough. ”

"For example...... What? Chen Jixing asked.

Chen Xingling couldn't think of it for a while.

"Uh-yes! There is always one! ”

Chen Jixing scolded with a smile: "Fooling your fourth brother? Marie give me a look! Otherwise, screw you! ”

Zhu Siya picked up the chopsticks and beckoned, "Don't talk about it." Little sister, come on, let's talk while eating. ”

"Hey." Chen Xingling picked up the bowl, caught a glimpse of the tablecloth on the table out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Sister-in-law, do you want to get some traditional embroidery works to sell?" ”

Zhu Siya couldn't understand why she asked, "What work?" Traditional what? ”

Chen Xingling pointed to the delicate embroidery in the corner of the tablecloth and explained: "These are hand-embroidered works. Everyday items at home, such as tablecloths, pillowcases, handkerchiefs, door curtains, etc., will be embroidered with some exquisite patterns. These are currently selling hot in the northern region. If you can find a way to sell it overseas, I believe it will sell well. ”

Zhu Siya's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she turned to look at her lover beside her.

"Y-what do you think?"

Chen Jixing hesitated a little, frowned and thought about it.

"It's popular on our side, but it's not necessarily popular abroad. Besides, the things of our traditional culture may not be popular abroad. There are some things that people don't even understand, and it's not so easy to make people accept them to buy them with their wallets. ”

"That makes sense." Chen Xingling gave a thumbs up and proposed: "Don't worry, we can transform and renovate first, and get some common foreign patterns to embroider, such as Christmas trees, snowmen, Santa Claus and other patterns." Tradition and innovation cater to the needs of foreign consumers! ”

Chen Jixing and his fiancée glanced at each other and nodded slowly.

"Not bad!"

"Great idea!"

Zhu Siya grinned: "Little sister, I was thinking about whether to set up a factory at first. That fried noodle you made was delicious, and many people liked it. I'm still wondering if I can make it go big — it's to be produced on a large scale, and then packaged and sold. ”

Forehead?

Chen Xingling was slightly stunned, and then turned to laugh.

"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, you have to mechanize for mass production, rely on huge quantities to open up the market, but for now...... It should be hard. ”

She also thinks about making a few more big bucks from instant noodles in the supermarket space. If it is produced on a large scale, her profit opportunities will be gone.

In addition, the cost of making instant noodles at the current level of production will be very high, and the selling price will have to be higher. With the current standard of living, most ordinary people cannot afford to spend.

Zhu Siya asked curiously: "Is mechanization bad?" We can hire someone to design the machine, like your handsome husband. I've heard that he's the one who designs machines, right? After the machine is made, we buy raw materials to produce, and we can quickly make products. ”

"It's that simple!" Chen Jixing laughed when he heard this, and teased: "You think about the production process too simply." Don't think about any mechanical manufacturing, think carefully about the whole production process, how many processes are required before and after - how can it be so simple! ”

Zhu Siya was obviously not an insider, so she couldn't help but look at Chen Xingling for confirmation.

Chen Xingling nodded hurriedly: "It's really not simple. Not to mention the mechanical problem, the cost problem alone is enough. When I make it myself, I don't make much money when I don't make it myself. Moreover, the fourth brother's colleagues also felt that it was a little expensive, but fortunately, their company paid for it, so they could eat enough. If large-scale production, machinery costs, electricity costs, plus wages and packaging, etc., may get three or four cents at the cost price, and sell at least five cents. Ordinary people have to weigh carefully if they want to pay two cents to buy something, let alone five cents. ”

In this era when the daily wage of ordinary workers is only more than one dollar, a meal is full of one or two cents, and everyone can barely accept it.

For those who do manual work, one pack of noodles is far from enough, at least two or three packs. If calculated at the current cost, a pack is sold for at least four or five cents, and a meal will cost more than one piece, and a day's salary may not be enough for a meal.

In a word, it is too expensive!

After listening to his sister's analysis, Chen Jixing echoed: "It's really too expensive...... Even if it can be produced smoothly, the product is too expensive to sell, and the factory will have to close down sooner or later. ”
