Chapter 218 Everything went smoothly

Xiao Ma went to work on this matter. As a result, before she could go to the People's Art Theatre to find her acquaintance who worked as a janitor there, she asked the descendants of the Eight Banners in the alley.

This kind of clothes is already available for sale. Their ancestors made this. Now they have opened a special tailor shop, and they also make dragon robes, phoenix robes, official robes, and imperial robes. You can tell at a glance that the craftsmanship is superb! People who go to make clothes heard that the tailor's ancestors used to make clothes for the palace and also accepted orders from officials' mansions, so they are willing to place orders there.

Xiao Ma couldn't help but say, "They are the regular army, and I am a guerrilla."

She came back and thought for a while, and told Fang's father everything.

Aunt Yuan said to her, "You can't hide it, it's not far away. Besides, how can your craftsmanship compare with those who have been making these for their ancestors? Besides, didn't Uncle Fang give you five yuan for running errands?"

Xiao Ma came over with the money and took the initiative to tell the story. She also said that she wanted to return the money to Fang's father.

"Uncle Fang, I just went to ask around. I'll give you the money back."

Fang's father certainly couldn't accept it. "If you hadn't asked around, how would I know about this? I didn't even know that there were authentic descendants of the Eight Banners in the alley. Just keep it, or I'll feel bad."

Xiao Ma refused several times, but Fang's father insisted that she keep it.

"Just make clothes for us later and pay more attention to it." Lin Yan still made clothes for the two elders at Xiao Ma's on a seasonal basis.

As for the three little ones, it was up to the eldest brother and sister-in-law. They had a good income.

Didn't they prepare to pay off the 600 yuan high tuition fee they paid in September last year in three months? They've already paid back 400 yuan.

After Xiao Ma left, Fang's mother, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't help but say, "You only make five yuan for this trip? She only makes a few cents for making a single piece of clothing."

Fang's father said, "If they don't ask, when will we know that there are ready-made clothes to sell? Moreover, if they don't tell us, we will have to waste a lot of time. However, I originally gave it as a deposit. It's not good to ask them to return it or give less now. Business people can't be too stingy! Anyway, it will be counted as the cost in the future."

He quickly went to the address Xiao Ma said and bought all the eight clothes that were hung on the wall. It cost more than two hundred yuan! They are all good fabrics and the craftsmanship is also good. I also asked how to wash them.

Hang them on the wall and write that they are for rent. There are really many customers who are interested in renting them to take pictures in the Forbidden City. There are both Chinese and foreign ones.

If you rent it once and return it within two hours, it's one yuan! If you exceed the time limit by one hour, it's fifty cents. You also have to pay a deposit, and there must be no slippage or dirt when you return it. When there are many, the dragon robe and phoenix robe can be rented out two or three times a day.

He said to Fang's mother: "See, five yuan, just rent it a few more times and you'll have it."

Fang's mother said with a "tsk", "This is really easy to make money!"

Fang's father said: "It's also because we have the advantage of location. I guess other places will have them soon. There are many old people in this capital. I'm afraid there are still a few who can make this. Maybe someone really has a collection now."

The calendar turned over, and soon it was the day to register for the new school. Old Cheng asked Fang Mingche, "Have you decided whether to take the postgraduate entrance examination in this university or in another university?"

Fang Mingche nodded, "What about you?"

"I will definitely go straight to work and try my best to stay in Beijing. Am I really going to be an old student? It's amazing that I have been alumni with my son for two years. What, you don't plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination in this university? Then you must choose a higher school? Let me guess, Tsinghua University or Peking University?"

Fang Mingche looked around and saw that there was no one around, "I want to take the postgraduate entrance examination in Peking University's School of Economics and Management. Don't tell anyone yet, I may not be able to pass."

After entering his third year, he hesitated for a long time about this matter. In the end, he decided to tiptoe and reach higher. If there is a chance to be admitted to the postgraduate entrance examination, forget it, he is not eligible for it now. So let's try again!

He can afford the consequences of not passing the exam. And after analyzing it over and over again, there is still hope.

After all, now he has enough money to get the best teaching conditions. Since they are all in the capital, he can now plan to go to the class for free.

In order to save time, Fang Mingche plans to buy another car. This time he will buy a sedan, a Shanghai brand sedan. Twenty-five thousand for one!

Then find a driver to pick him up. He and Ayan have many classes that are staggered, so they can basically take care of both. If they can't take care of both, they can adjust, and the other can work illegally. In this way, he can save an hour every day.

But Ayan said that if there is a conflict between the two, he should use it first.

Ayan asked the counselor. Her work experience as an educated youth cannot be counted as the two years of work experience required for college students to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Because they require two years after graduating from college.

She really has to work in high school for two years before taking the postgraduate entrance examination.

She is not too obsessed with the postgraduate entrance examination, but after listening to Fang Mingche's analysis of the leisure and luxury of university teachers and the busyness of high school teachers, she also had the idea. It would definitely be good to have more time for herself! University teachers are not even required to work in the office, and the work system is eight hours.

Fang Mingche has already paved the way for her to be assigned to the unit after graduation. But according to acquaintances, it is probably impossible to squeeze her into an idle position such as managing a laboratory. Young college students are now being scrambled by various units. If you are robbed of your position, you will definitely not be able to start retirement mode.

Therefore, A Yan will probably have to teach Chinese in high school. She has just finished teaching one class in the first and second year of high school.

Gao Xiang is also going to study for a master's degree. He is preparing to take the accounting major and does not want to teach anymore! He

will be a full-time financial officer in the future. Fang Mingche initially promised people that he would be the financial director of the entire Fang Group. Now he is only in charge of the finances of the travel agency. It feels good, so he can free up time to prepare for the

postgraduate entrance examination. He also wants to step up and get into a better school than Capital Normal University. The goal is the University of International Business and Economics.

Old Cheng nodded, "Okay, we should integrate theory with practice. We graduated in July 1984, and now there are schools that are gradually starting to teach English. So I think it should be no problem for me to stay in Beijing to teach. As for my son, I also hope that he can continue his postgraduate studies. It would be best if he could step up and get into a better school. The success rate of the postgraduate entrance examination should be higher than that of the college entrance examination."

In this way, their family of four can continue to stay in BJ. His wife is now working as a handyman in Xiao Fang's travel agency, and his daughter is attending a high-priced school. As the economy is a little tight, he has to work as a part-time English tour guide at the travel agency on weekends.

It should be better when I get a formal job. I will continue to work part-time, since teachers have weekends and winter and summer vacations. The salary of high school teachers is much higher than the subsidies for college students.

Fang Mingche said, "Didn't the college entrance examination pre-examination system start this year? Half of the people were eliminated directly, and they were not allowed to enter the college entrance examination hall. I heard that the college entrance examination admission rate has doubled."

Lao Cheng said, "The proportion of those who pass the postgraduate entrance examination is still higher. More than 80% of college graduates choose to find jobs directly."

There is no point in arguing about this, so Fang Mingche said nothing. He got the undergraduate course schedule of the Department of Economics and Management of Peking University. He took it home and compared it with his own course schedule to see which classes he could take.

Lin Yan took out her passbook and calculated how to withdraw money to reduce the loss of interest. However, if 30,000 yuan is reduced to 25,000 yuan, the interest on the fixed deposit will still be greatly damaged.

But if they want to use the car in three places (Beijing Normal University, Capital Normal University, and Peking University), they really can't continue to share it with the travel agency. Okay, buy it!

But she couldn't help but say, "You told me that you didn't make any big moves. Isn't buying a car a big move? A car is enough to buy a small yard."

She originally saved money so that she could buy a house for sale in Huaqiao Apartment. I want to leave her only 5,000, hoping that there will be no house for the time being.

But fortunately, their family's monthly income is also about 15,000. A few more months of saving will be enough to buy a house in Huaqiao Apartment. It's only 30,000 now because the final payment of 68,000 was paid before New Year's Day.

Fang Mingche thought to himself: When you say that, I feel that it's not worth spending money on a car. Buying a small yard for 25,000 can increase to more than 10 million in the future! But no matter how well you take care of the car, it will be scrapped after driving it for ten or eight years.

But time is money. In order to save commuting time and squeeze in time to attend classes, this is also something you have to spend. There is no car rental service now. If you want to rent a person and a car, it will cost 1,200 a month. It's better to buy one, since there are so many drivers in the family who can drive. It's good to drive it for ten or eight years.

That day, Lin's mother came to see her grandson, and happened to see the new car being driven back.

Fang Mingche parked the car downstairs, and then he felt more harmonious with the surrounding cars. Most of the neighbors drove sedans before, and some were even imported sedans. Only his family had a very old second-hand pickup truck.

Well, he couldn't spend all his money on things that will increase in value in the future. Some money still had to be spent.

He honked the horn a few times under his window. Changchang heard it upstairs and said happily: "The new car is back--"

In three months, he will be two years old, and his articulation has become much clearer.

Moreover, Yanyan took English and Japanese classes with Teacher Qiu, and watched English and Japanese cartoons, and he followed. Therefore, the three languages ​​were almost developing in parallel with one plane and two wings. Although they all spoke haltingly.

For a moment, even the apple slices that grandma fed him were not attractive to him. He ran out and squatted on the edge of the hollow balcony to look out, "It's Dad, it's a new car."

Lin's mother also came out, "Bought another car?"

Before, Lin Yi said that he wanted to work part-time as a driver in a travel agency on weekends, but was rejected by A Yan, saying that there was no shortage of people.

Then their family flew to Guangzhou to spend the warm winter, and they haven't been back to her parents' home since they came back. Han Mei brought all the gifts back. In addition to seeing Changchang, she came here today and wanted to ask about this matter. Unexpectedly, her son-in-law bought another car.

Fang Min knew that Uncle Jiu meant to call them downstairs, so she put on thick clothes for Changchang, "Grandma, Uncle Jiu will buy a new car today. Shall we go downstairs and take a ride together?"

Lin's mother nodded and went downstairs with them.

Fang Mingche realized that his mother-in-law was here, and hurriedly got out of the car to open the door for her, "Mom is here?"

"Yes, I came to see Changchang. Yours is brand new, right?"

"Yes, second-hand ones are not easy to buy. I found a bargain last time. Normally, I would drive it until it was almost scrapped before I was willing to sell it. This time I have a little more money, so I just bought a new one."

Lin's mother frowned, "Didn't you buy a house in Shanghai, and now you are tight again?"

Fang Mingche said, "Too many lice don't itch, too much debt doesn't worry! Anyway, there is no debt due in the near future. Mom, sit tight. Let's go for a drive around the central axis and come back."

Hearing him say "Too many lice don't itch, too much debt doesn't worry", Lin's mother was speechless for a while.

Fang Chang was lying on the back window looking outside, so happy. He muttered "take a drive, take a drive".

Fang Min's arm was across his small body, embracing him.

When they came back from a run along the central axis, Lin Yan and Yan Yan also returned home. Lin Yan had already taken out the vegetables from the refrigerator and had picked and cut what needed to be cut. Yan Yan was helping out on the side.

Since no one was there, she guessed that they had gone for a ride, but she didn't expect that her mother was also in the car. So she took off her apron and handed it to Fang Min, and sat on the sofa to talk to her mother.

Yan Yan also came out to help look after Chang Chang, while Sister Min was making dinner. She greeted her grandmother and asked Chang Chang, "Do you want to go into the pigpen?"

Chang Chang looked at the toy space surrounded by mineral water in the living room and shook his head. He was very excited and told his sister about his ride in limited language.

Yan Yan said, "I've been there a long time ago."

Just a few days after arriving in the capital, her father took her and her mother on a bicycle to ride along the central axis. It was just that they borrowed their grandfather's bicycle at that time, and the three of them covered their heads and faces with scarves, leaving only their eyes exposed.

Lin Yan must have invited her mother to have dinner with her.

Lin's mother said, "Why are you waiting for me to stay? My son-in-law has invited me to stay. He also said that he would take me home in his new car after dinner."

Thinking of the envious expressions of the neighbors at that time, she was happy. However, there will definitely be people who will be sarcastic and say that no matter how powerful the son-in-law is, he is only a half-son. Besides, his parents also came from his hometown. They went to Guangzhou to spend the warm winter during the Spring Festival. Aren't they also bringing their own parents?

She told all this to Lin Yan, and Lin Yan said, "Why are you saying this to me? Are you telling Lin Yi? I'm afraid that even if I say a lot of things, he will still remain unmoved."

"No, he is still touched now. Otherwise, why would he want to come to work part-time on weekends?"

Lin Yan thought to herself: I knew he came here for this matter. She said, "But the travel agency does not lack part-time drivers on weekends."

"Then others don't need to take turns to rest? Adding him in will give others a chance to take turns to rest."

"The more you work, the more you earn. Who is willing to give up their working hours? And it's a rotation system anyway."

Lin's mother kept talking, but Lin Yan didn't give in. This reduced Lin's mother's joy when Lin Yan drove her home in a new car that night.

"Mom, I won't go in. Please be careful when you enter." There are many illegal buildings in their compound. You have to be careful when you go in at night.

Mother Lin came into the house and spread her hands to Lin Yi who was looking at her, "You still won't give in."

Han Mei said, "You won't give in even if you ask."

Lin Yi said unhappily, "Do we need to mobilize the whole family to beg her again and again?"

Father Lin said, "Then you want to find a job, don't you want to beg others? Humph, you don't show up yourself, so let your wife and your mother go. Your sister probably won't be happy about this."

Lin Yan drove directly to the courtyard, and then walked to Dashilan. Mingche, his children, and his parents-in-law were all there. The car just stopped here, and then she drove her mother back.

So many people went to Dashilan tonight to see Fang Minghua and Yuan Shufen set up stalls. Didn't they go to Guangzhou? Thinking of Fang Mingche and Fang Mingfeng driving a large truck here, and then taking goods back to make a profit.

The two of them also bought some goods to make money. Those who wanted to save trouble all brought electronic watches, but were rejected by Fang Mingche. You all brought smuggled electronic watches, you are not afraid of trouble. You also want to use up the upper limit of the luggage load for the whole family.

However, he quite agrees with his elder brother and sister-in-law's idea. There is no extra expenditure, and every bit of money earned is a bit of money! It is estimated that this is much more than what they earn from running a noodle shop. No one can get rich without a windfall!

In the end, they bought a lot of popular things in the capital, scattered and mixed them in eleven suitcases. Only in this way did they pass the security check. The things were not big, so they set up a table on the stall used by Fang Mingfa to sell them.

On the second uncle's side, Fang Minghui also followed suit and brought back a lot of small items within the luggage load limit of her family. I guess she also found a place to set up a stall.

As for Fang Mingche and Fang Mingfeng, they don't care about the profit of a few hundred yuan. Going out to play during the New Year, just have fun. And the purpose of the two of them going to Guangzhou to investigate the market has been achieved.

Fang Fang and Kang Kang are watching the stalls in Dashilar at the moment. Young girls are naturally good at these. As for Fang Kang, this boy is really sweet. He stood there with red lips and white teeth and called out: "Auntie, auntie, come and have

a look. The goods are cheap and good, all from Guangzhou!" People who were called by him would often come to have a look because he looked cute. Then they would choose one or two things that they could use for their own family.

Fang Jian was collecting money and making change. He was also trained at the big bowl tea stall.

Fang Mingche was holding Changchang and watching on the side, and Yanyan stood beside his legs. Fang Mingche whispered: "There are many girls here, which is also a good thing."

The brother and sister-in-law were responsible for bringing the things over with a tricycle, and they didn't have to worry about anything else.

Yanyan said: "Dad, when I get older, I will also go to the travel agency to help. And Changchang can also go."

"Okay, I'll wait."

The two elders were also smiling. The better the life of the eldest brother and his wife was, the more comfortable they would be. And the eldest brother said that he would invite the guests back after all the goods were sold.

This guest had to be invited, otherwise the round-trip air tickets would be paid by the second brother, and you would have to sell the goods you brought back yourself. Even if the second brother and A Yan are not petty people, it is not okay for one party to pay and the other party to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Lin Yan came here because she saw that her brother and sister-in-law were doing a good business. They invested more than 300 yuan to purchase goods, and judging from the current situation, they can probably sell them for 600 or 700 yuan. Goods in Guangzhou are in great demand now.

However, if I want to make money this way, it probably won't work. Even if the travel agency gives them a letter of introduction, they can safely fly there and fly back with goods. But they can't make so much money with the weight of one person's luggage. Moreover, the air tickets are so expensive!

The brother and sister-in-law said that after the sale, in addition to treating them to a meal, they will also pay back the 300 yuan in high tuition fees they owe. And the rent for the small courtyard is also 20 yuan per month. Okay, it's good to have this awareness! Of course,

the two elders don't have to pay rent for where they live, just give them enough for their family of five.

Fang Mingche also felt that the gap between the brothers had grown in this life, and the old man was becoming more and more clear-headed.

He smiled and said, "What should we ask them to treat us to?"

Lin Yan also smiled and said, "I want to eat the braised pork elbow from Tianfuhao." This time, there was no need to be polite.

"Okay! Let's eat it as soon as possible while the two elders can still eat it." Fang Mingche said directly to Fang Minghua next to him.

The latter nodded, "Okay!"

This business is really profitable! Moreover, shipping it back by plane is much safer than by train or car. The key is that he doesn't have to pay for the shipping. This is pure profit! It would be embarrassing not to invite this customer.

Mingfa is still selling his fried rice, sweet potatoes and taro. He is naturally jealous, but what can he do? Who told him that he doesn't have such a capable brother who is willing to help others?

Brother Mingche gave him the stall for free at night, and he has already taken a big advantage. Moreover, Brother Mingche's advice to him to get a diploma is also reasonable.

The next thing is to open a store in Hong Kong. Fang Mingche plans to open one in Guangzhou first, and there are many foreigners in Guangzhou. The goods from Hong Kong will be shipped directly from Guangzhou. Moreover, the procedures for opening a store in Hong Kong are more complicated and time-consuming than those in Guangzhou.

He asked Fang Minghui if she wanted to open a store in Guangzhou. Her advantage is that she has already learned Cantonese from her brother one step earlier. She knew that she would be transferred to a Cantonese-speaking area.

Fang Minghui said hesitantly, "Brother Mingche, I want to go to Hong Kong."

Hong Kong and Guangzhou are not far apart geographically, but the per capita income is dozens of times different. Hong Kong's current per capita income is 3,000 (in RMB)! Although Guangzhou ranks among the best in the mainland, it is estimated to be just over 100.

This time, none of their family could go to Hong Kong, but she saw everything that her cousin and his wife's family bought. Hong Kong goods are much better than Guangdong goods!

Fang Mingche said, "People who go to Hong Kong stores choose from Guangzhou stores. Moreover, many people in Hong Kong actually look down on mainlanders. They call us mainland girls 'Northern girls'."

These days, Carina Lau and Lizhi are still being discriminated against!

Fang Minghui said, "What about those people in Japan, Europe and America?"

"It's almost the same, second-class citizens. Even you, you wouldn't look down on people who are much, much poorer than your family, right? We go out to make money, we have to be strong inside, and be neither humble nor arrogant."

Fang Minghui nodded, "I will. Brother Mingche, I will go to the Guangzhou store first and do a good job."

"Well, you go and try it first. Working as a clerk in a travel agency is not really suitable for you. See if opening a store is your strong point."

The travel agency's planning and logistics work all require meticulousness. But Minghui is a bit careless. She grew up with a group of boys in the village, and can basically be regarded as half a man. But she has the same side as Brother Mingfeng that is very adaptable to the scene, maybe she is really suitable to open a store. When

she went home and told him about it, Fang Mingfeng nodded, "That's right, help me watch the decoration by the way."

He bought a three-bedroom apartment, but there was no room for his sister. The couple had one room, the parents had one room, and the two girls had to live together.

Houses in Guangzhou are expensive, 700 per square meter. A room starts at at least 10,000! I really can't afford it. Fortunately, Mingche provides housing for out-of-town employees.

Fang Minghui couldn't help but say, "The elevator apartments in Guangzhou are too expensive. It's really hard for Guangzhou locals to afford them."

"If you perform well, you can be transferred to Hong Kong. Do you still have to worry about buying a house? Aren't you all paid according to the local average salary in Hong Kong, Macau and overseas regions? The average annual income in Hong Kong is more than 5,000 US dollars, even at the central bank's exchange rate, it is 9,000 RMB. You don't have to buy a house in Guangzhou. This money can buy two small apartments in Chengdu, and you can buy a courtyard house in the capital after working for three or four years. What's there to be afraid of?"

Fang Minghui nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, I will work hard. Brother Mingche said I might be suitable for opening a store."

Fang Mingfeng laughed, "It's just that people don't want to say directly that you are not doing well in the travel agency. At least you can save face for yourself this time."
