When Xiaohua went to school, she saw He Yu, whom she hadn't seen for many days. He Yu was engrossed in using a calculator, seemingly calculating something.

"Knock knock knock," Xiao Hua tapped her fingers a few times in front of He Yu.

"What are you so busy with? You're so focused. I've been here for a while and you haven't even looked up."

He Yu looked up at Xiao Hua.

He Yu shrugged, annoyed: "What are you busy with? Don't you have eyes to see?"

"Tsk tsk, you've got quite a temper. What, are you still angry with me?"

He Yu snorted coldly: "I wouldn't dare!"

Xiao Hua pulled up a chair and sat down next to her: "These classes have been going very well lately, and the enrollment has been going smoothly too. Let's call Jiali, and the three of us go out for a drink!"

He Yu threw the calculator aside and sighed, "Why drink alcohol? What's so good about alcohol? There's a drunkard in the house every day, it's infuriating just looking at him."

Xiaohua should have guessed who that drunkard was.

However, she didn't want to ask, fearing that if she did, He Yu would catch her again and talk about these things that bothered her.

"If you don't want to drink, then don't drink. Why get so angry? Women should get angry less often. As the saying goes, anger can cause breast hyperplasia. Getting angry less is bad for the breasts and thyroid."

Xiao Hua looked quite carefree.

Why couldn't He Yu bear to see her so carefree? Her carefree attitude seemed to be built on the suffering of others.

"Now that we have some money in the account, what do you plan to do with it? Or should we just leave it in the account? We've also set aside funds for the teachers' salaries for the second half of the year."

In the past two months, they have added about ten more classes. There are all kinds of classes, and the enrollment is going fairly well. Recently, they have collected a lot of tuition fees, which has been used to pay part of the teachers' salaries and the school's facility maintenance, water and electricity fees, etc., leaving some money behind.

"We have two initial ideas, and we're planning to discuss them with you. The first is that we're building several large teaching buildings to conduct technical training. We can separate the TOEFL and IELTS exam preparation for studying abroad, the middle and high school entrance exam preparation, and all these technical training programs, and not put them together."

He Yu nodded in agreement: "These should be separated. It's inappropriate to mix them all together, and it makes us seem unprofessional."

Xiaohua meant the same thing: if you're going to do something, you have to do it professionally and systematically, so that you look like an expert, instead of just pretending and doing things haphazardly.

"You just said you wanted to do some technical stuff, what kind of stuff are you looking for?"

Xiaohua thought for a moment and said, "For example, some CNC machine tools. I think the factory will need this kind of talent in the future. There are also some auto repair, beauty and cosmetics for women, and some Western food and baking skills."

Many large companies are now using computers for office work, but the number of people in China who know how to use computers is extremely limited. Therefore, we could offer classes on this topic.

"Ye Xiaohua, I've discovered that you're really something. How come you have such a keen market sense? How are you able to spot these potential business opportunities?"

This is also what He Yu admires about her; she can always see things that He Yu cannot.

"It's a secret, I won't tell you!" Xiao Hua said mysteriously.

“Then we need to do some more market research. It’s not easy to have some money on hand, and we can’t just start doing things on a whim. Besides, this amount of money isn’t enough to do what you’re talking about; it might not even be enough to build a teaching building.”

Although we have some money now, it's really not enough to do what Xiaohua mentioned.

"I know, don't worry about the money, leave it to me. Just do some market research on what I've told you, and also research how much the artificial cement, sand, and other essential items for building the teaching building will cost. Calculate it and give me a number!"

When everyone is running a business together, there needs to be a clear division of labor. Xiaohua is in charge of the overall direction, Heyu handles the details, and Jiali takes care of the smaller tasks, such as student recruitment and teacher recruitment.

Jiali is still a young college student who is inexperienced in the ways of the world. There is no way to teach her important matters. She still needs to gain more experience.

"Okay, I'll calculate the amount as soon as possible and let you know then."

Xiao Hua was very satisfied with He Yu's enthusiasm for her work.

"I just said you had two ideas, and that was the first one. What's the second idea?"

He Yu thought of what Xiao Hua had told her earlier about having two initial ideas.

"Oh, so you've already agreed to the first one, right? Then there's no need to talk about the second one."

But He Yu was curious and couldn't resist.

"No, you have to tell me. I want to know what other brilliant ideas you have."

Xiaohua couldn't resist her insistence on hearing it, so she told her.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to use this money to buy some houses, and then resell them to make a profit when the prices go up. But real estate is hard to liquidate quickly."

Since it's the 1990s now, it will be at least 20 years before housing prices surge, and Xiaohua can't wait that long. Besides, she's not very interested in real estate.

However, if you have the money, you can buy a hundred or so houses in the capital and Shanghai, which will definitely cost money.

But that's all in the future. She'll definitely buy Kang An dozens of houses in the capital and Shanghai in the future, and Kang An won't have to do anything but be a happy landlady.

What does "monetization" mean?

He Yu didn't quite understand and wondered if it was a professional term used in their business circle. After all, she had only been learning to do business for a short time, so she didn't know it.

"Cashing out means being able to quickly earn back several times your investment, that's basically it!"

After Xiaohua finished explaining, He Yu said "oh" and then understood.

"Xiaohua, now that your training company is growing bigger and bigger, have you ever thought about investing in other areas?"

Xiaohua replied, "Yes, that's the second idea I just mentioned: buy a lot of houses, wait ten or twenty years, and then sell them. You'll definitely make a fortune. But for now, I'll just focus on this training business. Once I've made some money, I'll move on to something else."

"So what are you planning to do?" He Yu was eager to know how many more ideas she had up her sleeve.

Xiaohua: "The reason why a company can grow big and strong is mostly due to the support and help from the country, society and people. So when you have money, you should have a certain sense of responsibility to society, the country and the people."

The saying goes, "What is taken from the people should be used for the people." We should do what the country needs and what the people need. We'll talk about specifics when we have more money. Right now, without money, anything we say is just empty talk and boasting.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to have such a strong sense of national righteousness!"

He Yu really didn't expect Xiao Hua to have such a high level of political awareness.
