Chapter 46: Chameleon
In the early morning, Zhang Wanru walked on the snow on the side of the road and jogged towards the park in the city.
The cold north wind ruffled her hair, and occasionally snowflakes from the trees on the side of the road fell on her face, making her feel cold all around.
Since the beginning of winter, the whole land has been swept over and over again by strong winds, and the leaves on the trees have been almost shaved clean, and even the shriveled grass on the roadside has been ravaged to the point that it is shivering under the white snowflakes.
Zhang Wanru exhaled a white mist-like haze from her mouth, her body gradually warmed, and sweat oozed from her forehead, she came to the park and saw Chen Lao and Lin Guozhong sparring moves.
didn't bother them in the past, and his eyes saw in Lin Guozhong's moves, his move Chen Lao had also taught himself, in fact, it was a grappling technique, which was a ruthless move to defeat the enemy.
I thought to myself, this guy is still very stubborn, and those who are close to Chen Lao in disguise are close to himself.
It's really going to be hard to do in the future. It seems that he not only has to learn to be flexible in martial arts, but also in human affairs. Since this is the case, then live in harmony with him as a friend.
There is a saying that as long as you don't feel embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.
Her gaze began to look at Chen Lao again, the old man's hair was sparse and white, the forehead was a little bald, and the corners of his eyes and mouth were evenly stretched out a few deep furrows, showing that he had gone through the vicissitudes of life. However, his face was full of red light and full of energy, especially the deep-set eyes under the thick eyebrows, which were deep and bottomless. It's like being able to see through people.
Whenever he plays Tai Chi, a set of boxing techniques is displayed, and the clouds flow smoothly, and the tiger is vigorous. There is a great style of immortal wind and bones, and the world is a master. This old man also fought in the ring with old foreign devils when he was young, which shows that he is a person with a patriotic heart and a sense of justice. I wonder how many stories he has in the past hundred years?
After Chen Lao saw Zhang Wanru, he suggested that Lin Guozhong should be allowed to fight against him.
Zhang Wanru is not hypocritical, and if she works hard now, she will increase her chances of self-protection when she encounters danger in the future.
Zhang Wanru and Lin Guozhong had a good exchange. Although it's all up to the point, it's still a chess opponent.
In fact, Zhang Wanru knew in her heart that Lin Guozhong always let herself intentionally or unintentionally. But what he didn't know was that he had the same thoughts. Many times, Zhang Wanru has long seen the flaws in his moves, and I am afraid that she has really defeated him and made him lose face. It's not an enemy of life and death, so you don't need to take it so seriously.
But Old Chen stood aside and shook his head. shouted loudly: "Girl, why are you always blind to painting, be serious!" ”
Zhang Wanru smiled a little embarrassed, standing in front of Lin Guozhong, first of all, he fell behind in height, even so, Zhang Wanru took advantage of his strength to beat him several times.
A smile finally appeared on Chen Lao's face, and he couldn't help but applaud her wit in his heart. Because he already knew that Lin Guozhong was in the criminal police team of the city bureau, according to his own words, during the training camp, he won the first place in two martial arts competitions. He is the first place, and in front of the apprentices he has taught for a short time, he still behaves normally.
If Zhang Wanru goes all out, he will be beaten all over the ground. This girl is simply a genius in martial arts, and her limbs and meridians are also stronger than ordinary people. Now that he has eighty percent of his strength, if he studies for another year and a half, maybe he will be willing to bow down in front of her.
This girl really doesn't want to fight with anyone, and she doesn't want to hurt each other. It's very boring to continue to learn like this. I had to let them stop.
He also gave some guidance to Zhang Wanru's dodging and maneuvering. He tells the two to dodge each other's moves and then retaliate. Dodge speed and position in the process are the key to the odds of winning a counterattack.
The old man asked Zhang Wanru to make a move at him, and then gradually demonstrated, the same move, standing in different positions after dodging, and the result was very different when he shot back.
In the morning, Zhang Wanru came to the wholesale store, and the more the year passed, the more goods came to the market. Merchants want to take advantage of this peak season to sell more goods. The whole market is crowded with people, so it's not lively.
She went to the shop next door and greeted the owner. The boss is busy packing products for the merchants. The couple was about the same age as Wanru, and although the wife talked a lot, she was a very diligent and shrewd person; Although the boss is not tall, he is a very calm, shrewd and wise businessman.
When the proprietress saw Zhang Wanru coming in, she hurriedly found a small bench and let Wanru sit at a small dining table.
Zhang Wanru looked at the people who were selecting goods in the store, smiled at the proprietress and said, "Your business has always been good, and you couple are very good at running it." ”
And the proprietress smiled and said sharply: "Hey, Boss Zhang, your business is the best." Your clothes are being shipped in and out every day, making a lot of money. These employees of yours are very capable, they never talk much, and you are very good at management. ”
Zhang Wanru looked at the various products in the store, and in her heart, after taking over, how to attract more customers on the basis of the original old customers is another problem. But I heard the proprietress talk endlessly.
She really didn't want to talk to about who was doing better? After dealing with it, once this woman opens the conversation box and talks for hours in one breath, it will not be the same.
Just got straight to the point and said, "Let you compliment." Manager Li told you. When I bought this store, I wanted to use it myself, and the two doors were opened up to become a store. I heard that you want to cooperate with me, so I came here and wanted to hear how to cooperate? ”
The proprietress curled her tongue, winked her triangular eyes, and said, "Okay." We're ready to go back to our hometown to manage the factory. ”
The boss came over after he was busy. Asked: "Boss Zhang, what business do you want to use this door for?" ”
"I have a home appliance store in the city, and I want to open a branch here."
The boss knew that he had also bought a mobile phone and a computer from the home appliance store.
He smiled and said, "I want to transfer the goods in the store to you, and while you sell these goods, it will not affect you to sell other goods." I will be responsible for continuing to supply you in the future. ”
Zhang Wanru thought the idea was good. But there is no profit and it is too early, there must be a request, and he asked casually: "What do you want to do this?" ”
The boss raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, feeling that talking to smart people was simple.
Looking at her and saying, "Most of the products here are produced in my uncle's factory, and a small part is wholesaled by me from other factories in the area. I sell the products from my uncle's factory on a commission. So, after handing it over to you, I only need you to sell 7% of the product. The commission is from the factory, and it has nothing to do with you, the only thing that has to do with it is that I bind your sales. ”
"It's kind of interesting. Is your product selling? ”
After hearing this, Zhang Wanru felt that it was very reliable, and she just wanted to cooperate with such a processing plant, and she had to have a chance. Nowadays, not only can we cooperate with the processing plant, but also many old customers, it is simply the icing on the cake, and I asked with satisfaction.
"My annual sales volume is about 20 million yuan, not to mention the commission, plus the profit of 15% of the wholesale price, you can understand it if you calculate it. I would have imagined you to find a competent manager to manage the store here. My uncle expanded the factory and gave me a 10% stake in it. However, if you don't rent me a house now, it would be bad for your business to choose another house, so I will transfer it to you. ”
Zhang Wanru calculated in her heart, 7%, plus 15%, calculated at 20 million, and after deducting some expenses, they can earn millions of dollars a year, it seems that these Southern Barbarians are quite flexible.
Seeing that Wanru didn't answer, the proprietress rolled her eyes in her heart and said, "Boss Zhang, don't you understand?" We're giving you a great gift. Not to mention how many goods you can sell in the future, even our old customers for so many years will make you rich. ”
The boss also hurriedly said: "If we reach an agreement, we will have equal interests, and only sharing can achieve a win-win situation." You can rest assured, I will organize the supply for you from the source, the greater your sales, we can make a fortune together. ”
Zhang Wanru chuckled and said, "Okay." We will cooperate as you suggest. Take time for you to do the handover with Manager Li. After that, we signed a contract and hoped that we would have a good time working together in the future. ”
Zhang Wanru returned to her shop and told Li Hua what she had just learned.
Li Hua said excitedly: "Sister Zhang, he said that the annual sales volume is about 20 million, and he is not lying. Those small appliances and kitchen supplies are beautifully packaged, and they are also a kind of welfare. You can also have a variety of options when it comes to marketing benefits later. ”
Zhang Wanru was very happy when she saw Li Hua say this. Tell her to hand them over at any time.
On the morning of the weekend, Zhang Wanru opened the door and saw a thick layer of snow in the yard, the sky was foggy, and the heavy snow was falling on the ground, and the north wind was carrying snowflakes to play in the air. The moment he opened the door, he entered the house.
It wasn't until after breakfast that the snow gradually lightened.
Zhang Wanru received a call from her father, "Wanru, you go and buy a six-point gift, and after returning to your hometown, we will go to visit the old people in the clan." ”
"It's already been bought. It's hard to walk on the road, can I go back? ”
"It's okay, I'm going to drive, it's the New Year soon, I have to go back today."
"Okay then."
Zhang Wanru went to the shoe and cloakroom on the first floor and put the gifts prepared in advance into the trunk of the car.
In the morning, Yulu and her nephew Zhang Wenjun and niece Zhang Wenjing were clearing snow in the yard together. They cooperated tacitly to sweep the snow into a pile, and their little hands and faces were not too cold when they were red from the cold.
Under the leadership of Zhang Wenjun and Zhang Wenjing, the four children began to build snowmen, and when the snowmen were built to a meter high, they also made a big head, making their facial features very realistic. The mouth and nose are lifelike, especially the two big black eyes that are attached to it.
Yulu also tied her red scarf to the snowman, and Yuchen also put a small hat on the snowman when she was a child.
Zhang Wenjun also had a whim, found a ten-centimeter branch, inserted it into the snowman's mouth, put the hat on his head crookedly, and took a few steps back, pinched his chin, and admired his masterpiece triumphantly.
also said to Zhang Wenjing: "Come and see, isn't it very handsome?" ”
After Zhang Wenjing turned his head to look at it, he went straight into a frenzy, yelled, and said disgustedly: "Handsome fart!" It's like a big badass. ”
After speaking, he glared at Zhang Wenjun fiercely, rushed to the snowman with an arrow step, pulled out the small stick from the snowman's mouth, threw it on the ground fiercely, and stepped on it a few times.
Zhang Wenjun was also anxious, and the two of them disagreed and smashed the snowman to pieces. The four children pushed and shoved and didn't fight.
Zhang Wanru stood at the window, watching them fight each other, still indifferent.
Just as the fight was raging, Zhang Fakui walked in from outside the gate and hurriedly scolded them. Seeing Zhang Wanru standing in front of the window watching the excitement, she rolled her eyes.
He looked at the four children again and shouted, "If you are so nonsense, I won't take you back to your hometown." ”
Zhang Wanru saw that her father was blaming her, and she didn't care, so she turned to her mother-in-law and said, "Mom." You go to my mother's, you two make dumplings at noon, and we'll come back for lunch. ”
After saying that, she put on her coat and walked out the door, and the five of them had already gotten into the car and were waiting for her.
Zhang Fakui drove slowly on the road, and when he reached the village, it took nearly an hour and a half to reach the village, which was originally a forty-minute journey.
The car stopped at the slope intersection at the head of the village, and the six of them walked into the village with the gifts they brought. Zhang Fakui took five people to visit several elders one by one, and finally came to a house with a somewhat dilapidated house.
Zhang Wanru knew about this family, and she had taken care of her father and second uncle before. When I walked in the door, I saw an old couple and a handsome girl about 1.7 meters.
After Zhang Fakui and the old couple said auspicious words for the New Year, they introduced to Zhang Wanru: "This is your uncle and aunt. ”
Zhang Wanru hurriedly shouted: "Uncle, Auntie has a good New Year!" ”
After the old couple responded, they hurriedly gave up their seats, poured tea and water, and began to get busy.
Zhang Fakui looked at the girl and said with a smile: "Xuemei, this girl has grown up." I really give you a long face, the college entrance examination is the first place in our city. What major? ”
Zhang Xuemei said with a smile: "Enterprise management. Thank you grandpa for giving me so much money. Otherwise, I really can't afford it. ”
Xuemei's grandfather looked at Zhang Wanru and asked, "My eldest niece has recruited so many workers from the village this year, and the people in the village are very grateful when they talk about you." Your aunt and I are planning to beg you to let Xuemei work in a hotel during the holidays to earn some tuition, is it okay? ”
Xuemei's grandmother was afraid that Zhang Wanru would not agree, so she hurriedly told Xuemei's life experience.
It turned out that the elderly couple of the family were more than ten years older than their father, and his son fell to his death when he fell off the mountain while going hunting. Soon, the daughter-in-law also left the four-year-old Xuemei and ran away with others.
Xuemei grew up with her grandparents. The couple took great care of their son's only bone and blood, and they have been supporting her to finish high school, but they didn't expect this girl to be very competitive and take the college entrance examination so well.
And because he couldn't make up the tuition fees, he borrowed money from everywhere, and after Zhang Fakui heard about it, he gave 3,000 yuan, and also borrowed some from his neighbors. It's only been the first semester this year.
Zhang Wanru smiled and said, "In the future, I will help her finish her studies." It is not easy for our village to produce such an outstanding talent. It's even better than what I did back then. Even if you work part-time, you can go to my house after the New Year and teach our four children to study. ”
The old couple immediately smiled after hearing this, and they have been worried about their granddaughter's tuition fees for the next semester during this time. With Zhang Wanru's promise, I was relieved.
Before the two old men could speak, Xuemei hurriedly said, "Thank you, aunt, I will definitely teach my younger brothers and sisters well." When will I pass? ”
Zhang Wanru said: "Accompany your grandparents at home, and you can go through the third year of junior high school. ”
Xuemei's grandmother hurriedly said, "Since the holiday, she has been at home with us, and she will go over after the first day of the new year." ”
Zhang Wanru understood their intentions and agreed.
They came to the second uncle's house together, but they didn't expect that there were already many people waiting for them.
Some of them sent eggs and gifts of dried dates, walnuts, peanuts, etc. All of them are flattering.
Zhang Wanru understands that most of the people here are not able to go to work in the city because of their children.
The fellows will not beat around the bush, nor will they hide it, and they will say it directly.
The second grandfather of a family asked: "I heard that the person who worked there came back and said that you will build a big hotel in the future, and when the big hotel is built, don't forget to bring the children of the family to work." They will definitely do a better job than others in the past. ”
Zhang Wanru glanced at her father and said with a smile: "Okay, I will work hard to save money, and I will start building when the time comes." At that time, we will also recruit people from our village. ”
Zhang Wanru saw Zhang Wangcai, the elder brother of the second uncle's family, and asked, "Brother, I heard that you are working in the south. What are you doing? ”
Zhang Wangcai said proudly: "I made doors and windows on the construction site there. ”
"Would you make the kind of cement hollow bricks that build buildings?"
"I've done it too, and it's so tiring that the people I go with are making that kind of brick."
After hearing this, Zhang Wanru had a feeling that her wish had come true, and hurriedly asked, "Can you call them over and I'll talk to them." Maybe you won't have to travel that far in the future, and you can still make money with us. ”
Zhang Wangcai also heard that the sister in front of him had made a fortune this year, and there would be no shortage of doors, windows and hollow bricks in the hotel, so he said happily: "Okay, there are four people in our village, and there are two more in Taohua Village." Let's just call the people from our village first, okay? ”
"Okay."
In Zhang Wangcai's house, three young and strong people came, and Zhang Wangcai introduced Zhang Wanru: "Zhang Biao, Zhang Yushan, Bai Qingyun. There are also Feng Hongwei from Peach Blossom Village, and Feng Hongliang's brothers. ”
Zhang Wanru smiled and asked, "Who makes doors and windows?" ”
Zhang Biao said with a smile: "I, Brother Wangcai and Feng Hongwei, the rest are made of cement hollow bricks." I'll make the doors, and the two of them will make the windows. The windows we can make are different from those here, they are all double glazed. Now Duxing this kind of window can not only keep warm, but also have a very good sound insulation effect. ”
Zhang Wanru asked: "I want to start a factory that makes doors and windows, specializing in making doors and windows for high-rise buildings." If you feel you can do it, follow me. If I feel like I can't do it, I can hire another professional to come over. ”
Zhang Biao hurriedly said: "Hehe, no, Feng Hongwei and Zhang Yushan have been working in the south for nearly ten years, they are both professionals, or squad leaders." ”
Zhang Wanru asked: "How much money do they earn every year?" ”
Zhang Wangcai replied: "Feng Hongwei and Zhang Yushan can earn about 100,000 yuan a year, and the four of us have only worked for four years in the past and can earn 60,000 or 70,000 yuan a year." ”
Zhang Wanru smiled and said, "That's it." Wait until you discuss it with the Feng family brothers. If Zhang Yushan and Feng Hongwei can provoke the beams, they will lead you. As for the commission, it will definitely not be less than before, as for how much, wait to see how capable you are. ”
Zhang Yushan felt that the sister in front of him was really looking down on people, and said slowly: "As long as you buy all the equipment you need and supply the raw materials in time, we will definitely make the doors and windows for you, and we will also be responsible for the installation." Absolute guarantee of quality. ”
Zhang Wanru is waiting for him, if he has a false name, he really can't hire him.
He smiled and said: "Okay, our Daxing real estate company has two real estate projects in the provincial capital, both of which are communities with more than 40 high-rise buildings. ”
Zhang Yushan hurriedly said: "Very good, we will all follow you next year." ”
"You put it together yourself, write down the equipment you need, followed by the raw materials, and the number of people you need. Make a planner and leave it to me. We'll talk about it in detail after the Spring Festival. ”
Bai Qingyun hurriedly said: "Your investment will not be less, we are very expensive to make special equipment, about 300,000 yuan." ”
"It's okay, we'll buy one first, and add another later if we need it. The next time we talk, we will discuss whether to let you contract or calculate the salary according to the output. Think about this first. ”
Zhang Yushan hurriedly said: "Okay, don't worry, we won't cheat you." We are recruiting new people, and we must have skills. When will we talk again? ”
"Call me when you're done, and we'll meet at the hotel then."
Back at the second uncle's house, the second uncle said to Zhang Wanru with a smile: "I am now elected as the village party secretary, if there is a good project to make a fortune, you can help us." ”
Zhang Wanru said with a smile: "There will be a good project for the villagers to make money in the spring of next year. Specifically, I'll explain it to you when I come back after the Spring Festival. This project can be done by young and old, adults and children. ”
After hearing this, the village party secretary's eyes were hot, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he hurriedly asked, "What is a good project?" ”
"Don't worry. Eat the rice one bite at a time. ”
Zhang Fakui refused to let them stay for lunch, and the family said goodbye to the villagers and left, and they followed behind and sent them to the entrance of the village, taking their gifts and stuffing them into the car.
Zhang Wanru had no choice but to accept their love, which could also make them have an expectation in their hearts and have a good year.
After getting in the car, Yuchen said to his grandfather: "My mother promised us to go to the cave to have a look, but this time we didn't make it." It's a pity. ”
Zhang Fakui said: "On this cold day, how can you want to come out like your mother." What is there to see in a cave. Girl, do you really want Zhang Xuemei to finish college? It costs a lot of money. ”
Zhang Wanru knew that the next generation in her previous life was looking for a job based on her diploma, and said lightly: "It's okay, didn't you say that his grandparents used to be very good to your brothers?" I'll pay for her to go to college, so you don't have to pay for it behind my mother's back. Let her come to the house every holiday to teach these four children. When we get good results in the college entrance examination, we will have a good future, so we will still make a profit and not lose money. ”
Zhang Fakui was deeply impressed by his daughter's words, but still pursed his lips and said, "Stinky girl, you haven't forgotten to calculate at any time." ”
"You are wrong this time, it's not my calculations, it's our fair trade, each gets what he needs. And you can get your wish. Kill three birds with one stone, and everyone is happy. Dad, I want to contract a battlefield, can you think of a way? ”
"The battlefield is not something that anyone can contract if they want to. Find your eldest brother for this, I can't do it. What do you want to do? ”
"After the New Year, I will find some strong laborers from the village to start a factory for making cement hollow clothes and a factory for making doors and windows. A lot of river sand will be needed. Ji Yuqing and I also bought a piece of land in the provincial capital, and after the provincial steel was built, we also built our own community. ”
Zhang Fakui listened and knew that this girl often ran to the provincial capital, and since she had opened a real estate company, she could only toss with her. It was also a good thing that he could help the people in the village, and he hurriedly said, "I'll ask you too." ”
"You've got to hurry, we'll have to start after the New Year."
Back home, the family ate a fragrant dumpling.
In the afternoon, Zhang Wanru received a call from Li Hua and had already begun to take stock of small household appliances, hoping that she would sign a contract with them in the past.
Zhang Wanru came to the store and saw the list of goods counted, there were more than 60 goods. In particular, soy milk machines, meat grinders, noodle machines, and humidifiers and so on. These products do sell well and are a good way to market them as benefits.
Zhang Wanru and the boss signed the contract according to the negotiated terms.
It can be seen that the proprietress is very reluctant, revealing the pain in her triangular eyes, and muttering to her husband from time to time.
Zhang Wanru is also a woman, and she can understand her heart. In the future, they can only get a 7% commission, and they can no longer get 15% of the profit of the goods, which is indeed a big loss.
After they handed over the shop, they had nowhere to live, so Zhang Wanru drove the family to the resort hotel and directly let them live in a high-end room for free.
After the proprietress learned that this hotel was Zhang Wanru's, a smile finally appeared on her face.
Zhang Wanru said to her: "Sister, I am a local, you don't have to worry. Besides, your little bit of goods is only more than 500,000 yuan, and I still paid half of the payment. We've been neighbors for almost a year, and I wouldn't be able to do business without integrity. ”
The small triangular eyes of the proprietress are quite big when they open this time, and although the hotel is not big, it is luxuriously decorated inside. Knowing that Zhang Wanru is a local, she is no longer entangled.
Hurriedly smiled and said, "Boss Zhang, I'm not worried about you, I'm reluctant to leave here." I love living here, and when I go back, I'm going to live a rainy life. I'm not used to it. Of course I'm very relieved of you. ”
Zhang Wanru smiled reluctantly, thinking to herself, this woman is really blind if she doesn't act, and she is an out-and-out chameleon.
