A famous anthropologist once said, "The secret of measuring destiny is immeasurable." Because we are always changing, we cannot accurately predict the direction of our fate. Think about it: if you can really accurately predict the future, what is the value of the future?

It's late autumn in the blink of an eye, and it should be the peak season, but this year, the whole mall is very deserted. During the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, Wang Yan also bought balloons and prepared giveaways, but the store did not accept any orders. This year, there are very few people in the store who even consult, and those who finally come to consult are just a simple comparison of the lower price. Wang Yan deeply realized: this is not only a year of small profits, but also a year of multi-channel consumption, and it is really difficult to rely on building materials to open stores to make money.

It's time to urge the annual store rent, nearly 300,000 yuan of store rent. Wang Yan calculated, plus the clerk's salary, electricity bills, taxes and miscellaneous items, and the cost of investing in the store would not be less than 400,000 yuan in a year. On average, the store receives less than 30,000 yuan of orders every month. This situation is unsustainable.

Wang Yan's father is almost seventy years old, old and thin. After two or three colds, the whole person was like a frosted eggplant, and the infusion was not good for several days. The doctor checked it and said it was thick blood. When my father was in good health, he still had some spirits, but after he was sick, his eyebrows and eyes were drooping, his face was sallow, he had no appetite, and he couldn't eat. Wang Yan felt distressed when she saw it, and Chen Xiang also felt that the old man was old and couldn't work anymore. They discussed that in the winter, they would let their parents go back, so that they could have a companion, and they would be quieter at home, so that they could not see the things in the factory, and "out of sight is clean". When they are old and have not been able to let the elderly live a good life, they should be relieved and live a clean life.

Chen Xiang and Wang Yan discussed: withdraw the store and move the factory. The store was not opened, and the factory was moved to Jiangsu. Beijing's furniture industry is completely saturated, and some of the solid wood furniture customization industries in second- and third-tier cities have just emerged.

Wang Yan asked Chen Xiang what if he couldn't open the factory in Jiangsu?

Chen Xiang said: "What can I do? Change careers and don't do it. “

Wang Yan said: "What should I do with the money I owe?"

Chen Xiang said: "Find a way and pay it back slowly." "Over the years, although the money has not been earned, Chen Xiang's ability to withstand pressure has been greatly enhanced, and many things have become more visible. Chen Xiang likes to sing, paint, read and calligraphy. Over the years, things have made him unable to calm down and make ink.

decided to withdraw the store and move the factory, and may even stop doing this business. Chen Xiang felt relaxed all of a sudden. Last Tuesday, there was a mahogany furniture market in Hebei, he drove Wang Yan to see it, bought a set of red sour branch tea sets, and went home Chen Xiang asked Wang Yan to take out the tea. In this way, as soon as he arrived home in the evening, he called Wang Yan to sit at the tea table with him, make tea and drink it by himself, and open the violin textbook to study the score while drinking. Rong Rong writes his homework, and Xiao Mu watches cartoons.

Seeing him like this, Wang Yan asked, "Are you going to learn the violin?" Chen Xiang said: "Yes, when I learn to teach Xiaomu." Xiaomu has a talent for music, and we don't have the money to send her to a tutoring class. I study and research, and I look at the bullets myself. I'll teach Xiaomu by myself. Last year, Wang Yan bought a violin for more than 400 yuan from Taobao, she wanted Chen Xiang to teach Xiaomu, but Chen Xiang has never been free and has no thoughts. Now that Chen Xiang has taken the initiative to study how to play the violin, Wang Yan feels that the family atmosphere is much warmer.

Chen Xiang was worried that he would not be able to take the children back to Jiangsu. Children studying in Beijing can't just go back all at once. Wang Yan plans to wait for the doctoral exam to see the situation, if she is admitted, she will rent a room near the school to see if she can transfer Rong Rong to a middle school near the university, as for Xiaomu, she is only in kindergarten, so it should be no problem. If she didn't get into the Ph.D., she would have found a class.

However, in Wang Yan's heart, she can be admitted to the doctorate, as long as she is not at the age of the restricted examination, she will always take the exam. It was one of her dreams. At the end of this dream, a middle-aged intellectual woman stands on the podium of a university and lectures to her students - that is her dream for many years. At the slightest possibility, she wants to make her dream come true!

Chen Xiang also agrees with Wang Yan Kaobo. He also feels that earning money to live is one thing, and life should have dreams. If you have a dream, you have to chase it with all your might.

These are two people who focus on material things and pursue a more spiritual life. They once hoped to earn a lot of money by opening a factory, so that the elderly in the family could live a comfortable life, so that the children could enjoy more good education, and they could also help their relatives live a good life. They even discussed: when you have money, you should do more public welfare activities. However, years have passed, and they have not even been able to take care of their own lives. Their original dream of opening a factory was not realized.

It has been said, "Marriage makes men philosophers and women economists."

Chen Xiang believes: "Entrepreneurship makes both men and women the real backbone of the family, and both are indispensable. Starting a business also allows men and women to fall in love again. “

In this way, it is not for nothing to open a factory. Chen Xiang and Wang Yan have deepened their understanding of each other, understood more, and loved each other more deeply in this common cause. In addition, they have also analyzed what kind of things are more suitable for their age: after all, when people reach middle age, they cannot rely on physical strength, but also rely on mental power.

There is a kind of money that can be earned by mental power, and it will be easier to earn than opening a factory. So what is the industry? They believe they have, but they haven't found out yet.

On this day, Chen Xiang drove to the plate dealer to find a foreign dealer to set the color of the plate, and Wang Yan accompanied him. The scenery all the way backwards, melodious music came from the car, Wang Yan listened to the music and slowly fell asleep. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the car had reached a crowded market. Wang Yan suddenly said to Chen Xiang: "There are really a lot of people in this market, there is nothing that cannot be sold here." Do you find that the industry that serves the public can do a good job? Ma Yun's Taobao has become bigger, and he serves the majority of merchants. Jingdong has also done it, and it also serves the majority of merchants. QQ has also done it to serve the majority of users. We should find something to do that serves the public. ”

Chen Xiang asked, "What then?"

Wang Yan smiled and said amusedly: "Let's open a 'Lei Feng network'." People have a spirit of dedication in their hearts. Whoever has something they don't want will give it to help those in need, and we will earn advertising money. “

Chen Xiang said: "Where did Lei Feng come from these years? The old lady fell and no one dared to help her. “

Wang Yan rolled her eyes, glanced at Chen Xiang and said, "That's for a reason." There are still a lot of good people, no, the country has also begun to control corruption! “

"There are also righteous people in this way. Evil does not prevail over good. Chen Xiang said. The two of them hadn't settled their own affairs yet, so they chatted and talked about their worries. I only heard that Wang Yan ask: "What do you think of those corrupt officials?" To be able to become an official, you have to study for many years, have the ability to do things for many years, and endure a lot of hardships to get through. Why are you greedy for money and sex, and if you are caught, you are not even as good as the common people. “

"When people get to that share, they have more money, more power, and some people stutter, maybe they are all like that." Chen Xiang said.

When Wang Yan heard this, he said: "What you said is not right, why are the current leaders of the country, who have so much power, and still advocate honesty and honesty and anti-corruption." “

"That's the difference between people. A leader with political ambitions always has a light in his heart to guide him to do things for the people. Such a person can be praised by history. However, more people still have low consciousness, and they only enjoy their own wealth when they become officials, and there are a few who are for the people. Chen Xiang sighed.

Wang Yan thought for a while and said, "I think it makes sense for you to say this. It's just that I didn't figure it out, you said that those officials are not stupid, and those juniors can't be dedicated to them, why are they willing to break the law for them? “

"They take money for themselves, and such people are selfish, and they take what they need." Chen Xiang expressed his opinion.

"That's right. These people are also smart, why don't they be good officials, in that way, it will be good for others and themselves, maybe they can make a difference! Wang Yan innocently sighed.

Chen Xiang replied: "Didn't you listen to Lao Mao?" The right path in the world is the vicissitudes of life', how many people have great ambitions? Everyone wants to take shortcuts. “

"As long as there is one out of 10,000 people, our China can also be rich and strong, and the environment is suitable for survival." After a pause, Wang Yan suddenly changed the topic and said: "By the way, you say, let's really make a Lei Feng network, can we do it?" “

When Chen Xiang heard this, he was amused and said: "That's good, you have to have the money to rent a big server first, there is a Lei Feng out of 10,000 people, our country has a population of more than one billion, and there are so many 'Lei Feng', a small server will not be able to put down the data of dedication." ”

Wang Yan put away a joking gesture and said: "I think it's not impossible to open a service-oriented website, the key is to think well, what kind of people to serve, and how to serve." Let's go back and study the national policy, and it will definitely work according to the national guidelines. We are now opening a furniture factory in Beijing, which is contrary to the national policy of controlling smog, and we will have to leave Beijing sooner or later.

Chen Xiang smiled and said: "Most of the national policies now revolve around the countryside, do you want to make a rural network?"

Wang Yan's eyes lit up: "It's not impossible to open a new rural network to serve more than a billion farmers." They just thought about it, and then went back to worrying about the matter at hand.

No one knows if Wang Yan can be admitted to the Ph.D. and whether she can go to the lecture hall that she longs for in her sleep. No one knows whether Chen Xiang can make a comeback and sell his furniture all over the country and even overseas. Someone may know, however, none of this matters. The important thing is that they still have hope.
