When Geng Wenyang came to Min Hui's house, she had just served her parents-in-law and mother-in-law for dinner, and was sitting in the hall of her room drinking tea and resting. Seeing Geng Wenyang coming to the door, Min Hui hurriedly got up to greet him, and said with a smile on his face: "Wenyang, you let me find it!" ”

After the completion of Geng Wenyang's new book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", in addition to handing over 30,000 sets to Zhuang Fujin for printing, he also handed over the agency of the city to Min Hui.

After discussing with Tao Zhengyong, Min Hui ordered 10,000 copies of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in one go, which was very popular with readers after it was put on the market, and more than 4,000 sets were sold in less than two weeks.

Of the 10,000 sets of novels that Min Hui's family got in their hands, in addition to selling them to other booksellers for 5,000 sets, half of them are estimated to earn more than 10,000 yuan. Coupled with the money earned from wholesale, relying on this set of books can bring them close to 20,000 yuan in income.

In the late eighties, 20,000 dollars was definitely a lot of money. For ordinary salaried people with an annual income of only one or two thousand yuan, 20,000 yuan can be described as Mount Everest looking up from afar, and many people are afraid that they will not be able to save such a large sum of money in their lifetime.

made a lot of money again, only to make Tao Zhengyong and Min Hui happily unable to sleep for several days. Excited, the two of them decided to ask Geng Wenyang to order another 6,000 sets of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", so Min Hui went to the factory to discuss with him.

Tonight, Shao Zhengyong is still outside, and the sports car is not at home. After a few simple pleasantries, Min Hui let Geng Wenyang to the right side of the Eight Immortals table, took out a passbook from the back room and said, "Xiao Geng, we want a total of 10,000 sets of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". This is the 10,000 dollars that should be given to you, and you take it. ”

Geng Wenyang stretched out his hand to take the passbook, opened it and looked at the amount on it, smiled and said politely: "Thank you, Sister Xiaohui." ”

"We owe you a debt of gratitude." Min Hui took the opportunity to say: "I am thinking of ordering another 6,000 sets of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Do you think so? ”

For Geng Wenyang, the more novels he writes, the more profitable he becomes, and naturally there is no reason to refuse Min Hui to buy more books.

"Okay!" Geng Wenyang nodded and said, "You can go directly to the printing house to find Director Zhuang, and I will say hello to him in advance when the time comes." ”

Seeing that he really readily agreed, Min Hui was immediately overjoyed, and got up and went to the back room to take out a bulging cloth bag and handed it to him: "Xiao Geng, these are a few tapes and videotapes that your Brother Shao brought back from Pengcheng, you can take them back and listen to them." ”

Geng Wenyang curiously took it and opened it to take a look, obediently! Inside are seven or eight albums of famous pop stars on Hong Kong Island, as well as two popular action movie tapes starring famous martial arts movie stars.

"Sister, this thing is good!" Geng Wenyang sighed: "These tapes are very popular here, and if they are sold out, they will definitely sell at a good price." ”

Seeing that he liked it, Min Hui smiled and said, "If you like it, you can come to the store to get it in the future." ”

Geng Wenyang's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "What?" Are you going to open a video store? ”

"Video store?" Seeing that he misunderstood, Min Hui only laughed and said, "Where do we have that money?" It's your Brother Shao who bought some goods from Pengcheng by the way, and it's not worth a few dollars anyway, so it can be regarded as an increase in the bookstore. ”

"Oh?" Geng Wenyang secretly said: "The eighties and nineties were the hottest era of tapes. Shao Zhengyong just ran the line of Pengcheng, which can ensure the source of purchase of audio and video products. In the future, if you partner with the two of them to open an audio-visual wholesale store, it is estimated that you will be able to make a lot of money. ”

Although the idea is very good, Geng Wenyang's strength is not strong at present, and he can only wait until he earns enough money to buy and sell treasury bills before negotiating.

Thinking of this, he showed a harmless smile and said, "Thank you, Sister Xiaohui!" I love these tapes, especially them. ”

It's best to give someone a gift that you like, Min Hui saw that she had sent the right thing, and couldn't help but happily say, "If you like it, it's fine." The goods purchased from Pengcheng are very cheap, and if you buy new goods in the future, you can pick them. ”

Both sides of the cooperation have sincerity to each other in order to achieve long-term results. Geng Wenyang reciprocated: "Sister, I plan to write a new martial arts novel in the style of Gu Long, and after I finish writing, I will leave it to you to act as an agent for sales in the city." ”

"Oops, that's a good feeling!" Min Huixi said with a smile: "Don't worry, at least 20,000 sets of new novels will be printed, and you will definitely earn more than this time." ”

The guests and hosts took what they needed and talked happily, and when they left, Min Hui sent him to the gate and said: "I chose those tapes for you, who do you like in the future, tell me earlier, and I will let you Brother Shao buy it for you." ”

Geng Wenyang said gratefully: "Thank you, sister!" ”

After saying goodbye to Min Hui and returning home, Geng Wenyang took out a pen and paper and spread it on the table, and with the design skills of a senior engineer in his previous life, he preliminarily outlined the renovation plan of the small courtyard.

A new three-storey building is built on the street, and the first floor is designed as a transparent hall for the opening of the game hall. The second floor is designed as a restaurant and meeting room, and the third floor is mainly used for staff dormitories and bosses' offices.

The kitchen and toilets in the courtyard were demolished and rebuilt, and the toilets were replaced by dry toilets and flushed public toilets. The street has already been laid with a municipal sewage pipe network, and only a new septic tank needs to be built in the yard and the two can be connected by buried pipes.

The kitchen was converted into a warehouse for storing spare parts and miscellaneous items. The courtyard walls and gates were all torn down and redesigned and built, and the water and electricity lines also needed to be replanned and laid.

The construction area of the three-story building is about 480 square meters, and the construction area of the warehouse and toilet is about 80 square meters, adding up to a total of more than 560 square meters, and the total cost is about 56,000 yuan according to the estimated cost of 100 yuan per square meter.

If you add the cost of running the gate of the walled courtyard, the renovation of the old courtyard needs to invest about 60,000 yuan in total.

The cost of buying a house and renovating it is as high as more than 70,000 yuan, and civil engineering is really a huge investment project.

At present, Geng Wenyang only has more than 40,000 yuan in his hand, even if he adds the 10,000 yuan he just got from Min Hui, it is only a little over 50,000 yuan, and there is still a gap of 10,000 yuan to cover the cost of renovating the small courtyard, not to mention that he has to prepare for some additional project expenses that have not been taken into account.

In addition, the money in his hand will also be used as the capital for reversing treasury bills, and if all of it is diverted to housing investment, it is tantamount to killing chickens and eggs to quench his thirst.

What to do? Geng Wenyang looked at the figure of more than 60,000 yuan listed on the paper and was secretly worried.

He was a little hesitant between the trade-offs, should he use the existing old house to make do with it first, and wait until the game hall earned money before renovating it?

"No way!" He shook his head and said to himself, "Those three adobe houses need to be renovated before they can be used as game halls." If you wait until you earn money to renovate, you have to close down, and second, all the renovation costs in the early stage have been wasted, which is equivalent to spending money twice, which is really inappropriate. ”

Unable to make up his mind, Geng Wenyang stood up and paced in place and thought hard. He suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "You can use the 10,000 yuan that Min Hui gave me as the start-up capital first, and during this period, I will strive to make a few more trips to Shencheng, and the profits I earn can fully cope with the follow-up capital investment." ”

"That's right! That's it! After figuring out the reason, he breathed a sigh of relief and said in his heart: "Although the cost of infrastructure is huge, the money earned is spent, and the value of the house will definitely appreciate in the future after it is built." Even in the event of demolition, you can get a lot of compensation for the demolition. ”

What's more, after the new house on Caojia Street is built, he can live in it permanently, so that he can break away from the shackles of his family and parents and freely implement his grand entrepreneurial plan.
