In the evening, the street vendors are constantly shouting and haggling.

Chen Li'an took a bite of an apple in his hand, the flesh was sweet and crisp, and the juice was overflowing.

At a newspaper stop on the side of the road, Arbor Grove and newsstand owners are rummaging through newspapers and magazines from the previous two months.

The newsstand master wearing reading glasses flipped through the pages for a while and took out a copy from a pile of magazines, took a closer look and said: "I found it, few people buy this magazine, and I sold three copies of five last time." ”

Qiao Linmu immediately leaned over and glanced at Chen Li'an, who was eating apples, and asked, "Is it called World Art?" ”

"Well, there's my report on it." Chen Li'an glanced at it, and then he didn't care, he hadn't read those magazines himself.

In contrast, Chen Li'an is more interested in the recent issues of Yangcheng Daily, which reported on the proliferation of pirated CDs.

What does this mean? It means business opportunities!

Last year, the sales of VCDs in the country were only more than 100,000, and the high price was one of the reasons for the poor sales, and the other was that there were too few CDs.

If you don't have a movie to watch at home, who will buy it, and it's not cost-effective to buy a genuine disc at such a high price.

VCD wants to enter thousands of households, and what is missing is such an opportunity.

Chen Li'an and Qiao Linmu were in front of the newsstand, one looking at the newspaper and the other at the magazine.

The newsstand owner looked at him and knocked on the table with dissatisfaction and said, "Give me the money first, and then look at it!" ”

Chen Li'an, who was fascinated, reacted and took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to the boss.

"It's not enough, it's two pieces of two, and that magazine is full color." The boss lifted his reading glasses and said.

Chen Li'an: "......" is so expensive, no wonder it can't be sold!

After making up two more pieces of two to the boss, Chen Li'an rolled up the newspaper, looked at Qiao Linmu and said, "Second uncle, let's go home and read it again." ”

Qiao Linmu glanced up at Chen Li'an, and nodded with a somewhat complicated expression.

There is really a report of Chen Li'an in the magazine, and this kid has really become an artist.

A child who was so naughty and mischievous when he was a child, why did he suddenly feel unrecognizable.

The artist sighs......

Does the old Chen family still have this gene? Qiao Linmu's chubby hand touched his round chin, and after thinking for a long time, he decided that it should be the genes of the old Qiao family!

When I was young, I was also an artistic youth!

Thinking of this, the suspicion in Qiao Linmu's eyes turned into relief, and his chubby palm patted Chen Li'an on the shoulder and said, "Yes, I inherited the talent of the old Qiao family." ”

Three question marks appeared in Chen Li'an's mind, if I remember correctly, none of the old Qiao family had artistic talent.

However, looking at the happy Qiao Linmu, Chen Li'an just smiled, shouldn't he make the elders happy.

After the two returned home, Qiao Linmu happily ran to the kitchen with a magazine.

"Linlin, your brother is in a magazine, he is really an artist." Qiao Linmu opened the magazine in his hand and handed it to Qiao Xiulin and said, "Look at it, they all say that Li'an is a cutting-edge artist." ”

Qiao Xiulin hummed calmly, and then poured the prawns into the hot water, she had already read these magazines, and Chen Li'an and she often talked on the phone.

After Qiao Linmu shared the good news, he said with some loss: "It was good that I also learned to paint at the beginning, but it's all your grandfather's fault, when I was in elementary school, the teacher praised me for being talented." ”

Qiao Xiulin, who was playing with the prawns, glanced at Qiao Linmu, who was happy and regretful, and moved her lips, but she still didn't say the words that leaked to hurt the old father's heart.

Chen Li'an leaned over and looked at the gradually reddening prawns in the pot and asked, "Sister, I'll help you do it." ”

"You don't have to wait, it's the last dish." Qiao Xiuling looked at one in the kitchen, and the other stood at the door of the two men urging, you go outside and wait, don't get in the way here.

Chen Li'an glanced in the kitchen and found that there were indeed no dishes that still needed to be cooked, so he took his second uncle out.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, he asked him, "Aunt is not at home, have a drink at night?" ”

Qiao Linmu nodded movingly, then picked up the newspaper that Chen Li'an had placed on the coffee table before, and asked, "What's the VCD you said before?" ”

Chen Li'an opened a box of wine from the side of the sofa and said: "Make money, you can read the newspaper yourself, what does it mean that pirated discs are so rampant now, you should know better than me, you have been in business for many years." ”

Qiao Linmu opened the newspaper and glanced at it, and after a few minutes, he raised his head to look at Chen Li'an, and said with some doubts: "I didn't expect you to know how to do business, this is indeed a good business opportunity, but now there are many VCD manufacturers." ”

Chen Li'an unscrewed it, sniffed the wine bottle cap, frowned and said: "Although there are many manufacturers, but there are not many really competitive opponents, as long as the price of the machine is low, the quality is good, and we are willing to spend money on advertising, we can take the opportunity to occupy a large market." ”

Qiao Linmu glanced at Chen Li'an angrily, snatched the wine bottle from his hand, sniffed it himself, and a smile suddenly rose on his chubby little face, and then swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "You said it easily, but which of these things can be done simply?" ”

Chen Li'an said with a hippie smile: "Second uncle, these things are not difficult for you, I believe in second uncle!" I'll pay for you, and we'll earn him seven or eight small goals! ”

"Small goals?"

Qiao Linmu didn't understand what the little target meant, but he heard Chen Li'an's intention to make himself a coolie, and couldn't help but scold: "Feelings, you are here to take me in, let me work for you!" ”

"How can it be considered a part-time job, partnership, you are the boss, I will just follow behind and drink some soup." Chen Li'an said with some distress: "You let me engage in art, but I am really not good at business." ”

Qiao Linmu thought about Chen Li'an's eloquent appearance just now, and said angrily: "I think you are quite good!" Now they're richer than me, and they're more talented than you in drawing. ”

"I really can't do it, I don't have time, and I still have to go to school." Chen Li'an knows that he has a few catties and taels, and it is estimated that he can find the wrong money when he opens a supermarket, so he should just think about it when doing business.

"I'll think about it, and I'll go back and investigate."

Qiao Linmu didn't expect Chen Li'an to do business, the artist said that he had a lot of face, and he could kill a bunch of small bosses by throwing a brick in Yangcheng these years.

Artists are scarce, and in Qiao Linmu's heart, the status of cultural people is much higher than that of businessmen.

After a while, Qiao Xiulin came out of the kitchen and shouted, "It's time to eat." ”

"It's coming!"

Chen Linan immediately ran to the kitchen to help serve the dishes, tonight's dishes were very good, boiled prawns, roast goose, steamed sea bass and a dish of white-cut chicken.

It's all meat dishes, Chen Li'an likes it very much!

After sitting at the dinner table, Qiao Xiulin sandwiched a piece of roast goose for Chen Li'an and said, "How about you taste it, I went to buy it on a detour." ”

"Delicious!" Chen Li'an put the roast goose in his mouth and took a bite and said.

"If it's delicious, eat more."

Qiao Xiulin smiled and changed the plate of roast goose to Chen Li'an, and the goose head that Qiao Linmu had just picked up fell into the plate again after such a move.

Qiao Linmu: "."

Chen Li'an ate this meal very happily in the evening, Qiao Linmu was not very happy at first, but after the wine was poured, he was also happy, and finally his wife was not at home, and his daughter also gave face to herself, but she drank him beautifully.

The drunken Qiao Linmu sat on the sofa, patted Chen Li'an's thigh and said with a big tongue: "Li'an, you have a chance now, my uncle is very happy!" ”

Chen Li'an, who was talking to his cousin, hummed perfunctorily, then looked at Qiao Xiulin and asked, "Sister, you have always planned to be a teacher in school in the future?" ”

Qiao Xiulin took a sip of tea and said, "Well, it's very leisurely for me." ”

"Then I didn't see you looking for one." Before Chen Li'an could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Qiao Linmu.

"Let me tell you, you must get married quickly and continue the incense for your old Chen family, otherwise I will be sorry for my brother-in-law." Qiao Linmu suddenly hugged Chen Li'an's shoulders and chattered: "Don't you know, when your mother married your father, I didn't agree to kill you." ”

Chen Li'an and Qiao Xiulin glanced at each other, and they both smiled helplessly, they can't drink and still like to be reckless, and when they drink too much, they become like Tang Seng.

Chen Li'an and Qiao Xiulin had no choice but to scrub this chattering drunkard and send him back to his room to sleep.

"Huh" Chen Li'an shook his hand and said, "Second uncle should lose weight, it's almost one hundred and eighteen." ”

"My mother asked him to lose weight every day, but he didn't listen." Qiao Xiulin put a glass of water on the bedside, then looked at Chen Li'an and said, "You're tired too, rest early tonight, and take you out for a walk tomorrow." ”

Chen Li'an drank a lot, nodded and said, "Okay, I'm really a little tired." ”

"You sleep in the second bedroom next to you, and I have changed the sheets and covers." Qiao Xiulin went to get a new towel and toothbrush, and said with some disgust: "Hurry up and wash it, it smells of wine, don't drink in the future." ”

Chen Li'an pursed his lips, knowing what it was like for his second uncle to be controlled by two women.

Fight to death and don't get married in the future!

The next morning, as soon as Chen Li'an got up, he heard the voice of his second uncle admitting his mistake and begging for mercy in the living room.

"I really drank a little bit, not too much, Li'an Fei pulled me to drink!"

The second aunt who had just gotten off the night shift in the living room said with a straight face: "How old is Li'an, I can pull you to drink!" I think you want to drink it yourself! ”

Chen Li'an, who originally wanted to go out to wash his face and brush his teeth to say hello, immediately shrunk his neck after hearing this, and lay back on the quilt to continue sleeping.

The second aunt's combat effectiveness is too strong, so she still doesn't go out to be a target, and when she sleeps and is in a good mood, she will go out to sell her belief.

After about half an hour, it was quiet outside again, and Chen Li'an got up from the bed and cautiously pushed open the door to take a look.

"Come out, your aunt is sleeping." Qiao Linmu sat on the sofa without love, regretting why he drank last night.

Qiao Xiulin, who was sitting at the dining table, saw Chen Li'an and shouted, "Go brush your teeth and wash your face, come over and eat." ”

Without the deterrence of his aunt, Chen Li'an felt a lot more comfortable, quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face, and then sat down at the dining table to eat breakfast.

"How many days are you going to stay this time?" Qiao Xiulin asked as she bit the custard bun.

"Two or three days." Chen Li paused for a moment and said, "There are still things in the capital, and the back is busy." ”

Qiao Linmu, who had already finished breakfast, came over and asked, "Two or three days?" I'm also going to take you to inspect the market, what do you think about VCD? ”

Chen Li'an swallowed the shrimp dumplings in his mouth and said: "I think it can really be made, but I really don't understand, I'll just drink the soup." ”

"How much are you going to invest?" Qiao Linmu pulled out a chair and sat down and asked.

"I don't know, how much does it cost to open a factory?" Chen Li'an really doesn't understand at all, he only knows that this VCD will be very popular in the next few years.

Qiao Linmu looked at his eldest nephew, he really couldn't scold if he wanted to, and he dared to fool himself into opening a factory to do business without understanding anything!

"I really don't know what to say about you!" Qiao Linmu sighed, and then said: "I'll investigate it myself first, and I'll tell you when I have a plan, don't think about how much money you invest, keeping the money to buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law is the right thing." ”

"Oh." Chen Li'an responded, he was going to buy a house, but he didn't plan to marry a daughter-in-law, he couldn't say this to his second uncle, otherwise he should educate himself again.

After breakfast, Chen Li'an followed his cousin out, there was nothing fun in Yangcheng, but there were a lot of delicious foods.

Chen Li'an ate all the way, Qiao Xiulin bought all the way, and he had to buy everything he saw for Chen Li'an, and he bought seven or eight T-shirts just for the summer.

Chen Li'an was carrying a large bag of things, feeling that his arm was about to lose his own.

"Sister, let's not buy it, I'll go back and buy it myself." Chen Li'an really couldn't take it, and looked at Qiao Xiulin begging for mercy.

Qiao Xiulin looked at the dozen bags in Chen Li'an's hand, hesitated for a moment and said, "I also plan to buy you a few pairs of shoes, you usually don't have anyone to take care of you alone in the capital." ”

"That's not going to be so much, I'll have enough clothes for a few years."

"Alright then, let's get here today."

Qiao Xiulin was a little lost, the desire to shop that had just been ignited was gone, how long had she been shopping, and her cousin couldn't do it, what if she found a girlfriend in the future.

Qiao Xiulin, who was a little unhappy, took Chen Li'an home and prepared to come out tomorrow to continue!

In the next two days, Qiao Linmu went out early and returned late every day to investigate the market, and Chen Li'an was dragged out by Qiao Xiulin to go shopping every day, as if he wanted to buy everything he had worn all his life.

was dragged out by Qiao Xiulin to go shopping for two days in a row, Chen Li'an really felt that he had to find a boyfriend for his cousin as soon as possible, and he couldn't harm his younger brother!

"Sister, find a boyfriend and let your boyfriend go shopping with you." Chen Li'an sat on the stone pier tiredly and prostrately, looked at Qiao Xiulin and said.

Qiao Xiulin frowned and said, "I don't plan to find a boyfriend, love is the most useless thing." ”

Chen Li'an: "." My cousin's values are very similar to my own, it's hard not to agree!

"Then you find a girlfriend, the kind that can accompany you shopping, it's really not okay for a male girlfriend, in case there is a spark." Chen Li'an suggested.

Qiao Xiulin pulled her hair and said, "No, I don't like shopping, this time it's to buy you something." ”

Chen Li'an: "Listen to me and thank you."

There's another chapter later.,I'll start going to work today.,It's so miserable!
