Chapter 173 Only success is allowed, failure is not allowed
Aunt Lin asked her niece, "Hongmin, where do you plan to work?"
It seems that her niece studied accounting.
Zhang Hongmin smiled and pointed at Lin Shuyi, "My cousin wants me to work for my brother-in-law's company." In fact, she was not willing to go because she was a self-employed person, not a formal state-owned unit.
But my cousin said she would give her two hundred a month.
She made a lot of money this year, so she wanted to go.
Lin Shuyi said, "Well, you can go to your brother-in-law's company. He is short of an accountant. Go and do the job. And keep an eye on him for me. If you see him flirting with any female employee, report it to me immediately."
What happened at the beginning of this year made her angry enough. Zhou Jianguo actually dared to find another woman. Now she wants to find someone to keep an eye on him.
Zhang Hongmin smiled, "Sister Shuyi, if you really pay me 200 per month, I will go."
Lin Shuyi, "Why would I cheat you? I'll just give you 200."
"If you are free, we will start work in the afternoon."
Lin's mother also said, "You can go to your brother-in-law's company. They are all insiders and know each other well. You won't be bullied if you go there. You are a college student and everyone has to respect you."
Zhang Hongmin nodded on the surface, but she didn't agree in her heart. Just like her aunt said, she was a college student, and no matter which unit she worked in, let alone her brother-in-law's company, she would have to respect him.
She has no worries about finding a job now.
It’s just that the money isn’t as much as what my cousin gave.
So Zhang Hongmin went back at noon to discuss it with Zhang's parents, and then went to Zhou Jianguo's company to start work with Lin Shuyi in the afternoon.
Zhou Jianguo smiled and shook hands with Zhang Hongmin, "Welcome our Accountant Zhang."
Zhang Hongmin smiled, "Brother-in-law, please take care of me in the future."
Zhou Jianguo, "Sister, you don't need to tell me this. You are Shuyi's sister, which means you are my sister. We are all family."
He added, "But don't tell anyone about your salary. Let's keep it a secret."
Lin Shuyi also said, "Yes, they know it's time to express their opinions."
Zhang Hongmin understood. She nodded and said, "I won't tell you."
At the end of October, the clothing store opened by Lin Shuyin and Salen had a monthly turnover. After deducting the costs, they made more than 3,000 yuan. They split the profit 50-50, with each taking 1,500 yuan.
If this were a person, he would definitely earn three thousand a month.
After opening a store, Sharen tasted the sweetness, and she found Lin Shuyin, "Shuyin, do you want to open a second store?"
Lin Shuyin said, "Saren, let's calm down. This store has only been open for a month. Wait until it stabilizes before you start talking about the second store."
After hearing what Lin Shuyin said, Salen immediately came to her senses. She said, "Shuyin, you are right. I was too anxious."
"Let's open this store first and then open the second store next year."
The Shen family all knew about Lin Shuyin and Salen's partnership in opening a store. It had been open for a month, and they all wanted to know how much money they had made this month.
You can give ambiguous answers to outsiders, but to your own family...hey, even your own family can't tell the truth.
After earning 1,500 yuan, Lin Shuyin and Sarin discussed it and decided to tell the truth to their husbands, such as the husband's family and the wife's family, so they cut the profit in half. They earned 1,500 yuan, and then cut it in half and said they earned 800 yuan.
About seven or eight hundred.
"Guannan, I told your family this, you have no objection, right?" Lin Shuyin tested Shen Guannan.
Hearing this, Shen Guannan smiled, "Daughter-in-law, what you said is true. When it comes to business, we don't have to tell the truth to anyone, and there's no need to elaborate. It's okay to be ambiguous, even if it's our parents, brothers or sisters."
“Because they wouldn’t understand even if you told them.”
Lin Shuyin was very satisfied with the answer. "Yeah, I think it's fine to give a similar answer. There's really no need to explain it to them in detail."
Shen Guannan said, "You should also add that all the money earned was used to purchase goods."
Lin Shuyin gave him a thumbs up and smiled, "Advisor Shen is still the best."
Shen Guannan grabbed her fingers and said, "You are also very smart."
Siyu is eleven years old now, a grown-up girl, and is no longer interested in their mutual compliments. Otherwise, when she was three, four, or five years old, she would have praised her.
She said, "Mom and Dad, have you finished eating? I'll go wash the dishes after you finish."
Hearing this, Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan stood up quickly.
"After eating, you can collect it."
The three of them have a clear division of labor. If Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan cook, Siyu will wash the dishes. If the father and daughter cook, Lin Shuyin will wash the dishes. If the mother and daughter cook, Shen Guannan will wash the dishes.
Siyu took the dishes away and washed them in the kitchen. Lin Shuyin wiped the table and discussed the matter with Shen Guannan.
"Guan Nan, this is what I want to do. Next year I want to go it alone and open a store on my own. What do you think?"
Sooner or later she will have to go it alone. One store can cooperate with Sarin, but not every store can cooperate with her.
Shen Guannan, "Are you also opening a clothing store?"
Lin Shuyin nodded, "Yes, I am currently familiar with this industry."
She wants to open two clothing stores, women's and men's, and will consider other stores after these two stores are established.
Shen Guannan, "Okay, you can talk to Sarin then."
Lin Shuyin nodded, "Yeah."
She and Saran opened a business as a partnership, mainly bearing joint risks. Although she came from the future, she was a rich lady in her previous life and had no experience in running a store. She was also afraid of messing up.
But after opening this store, she has experience.
At least you won’t make mistakes when selling clothes.
Sister-in-law Yang Caijie's younger sister works in their store. Yang Caijie knows a little about the store's business situation. She heard that there are quite a lot of customers every day.
I found an opportunity to ask Lin Shuyin about it.
"I made about 1,500 yuan. This shop was opened by me and my sister-in-law, so the profit is 700 to 800 yuan."
Yang Caijie was surprised when she heard this. "Oh my god, you two are working together and you can earn 700 to 800 yuan a month. If you don't work together, each of you would earn more than 1,000 yuan!"
Lin Shuyin: “That’s right.”
Yang Caijie thought for a moment and then spoke, "Sister-in-law, your elder brother and I also want to open a store."
Now there are more people opening their own businesses, and fewer people are entering state-owned hotels. Of course, the number of customers has decreased significantly, but their wages have not changed.
When Lin Shuyin heard this, she asked, "What kind of store do you want to open? A hotel?"
Is Brother Shen a chef? A chef in a state-owned hotel.
Yang Caijie nodded, "Yes, your eldest brother is a chef. If he opens a shop, he will definitely open a restaurant. But we are afraid. If you say you want to open a shop, we will have to resign. If the business is good, what will we do if it is not good?"
Lin Shuyin understood, "This is something that needs to be carefully considered."
"By the way, sister-in-law, how much do you have in your savings?"
Yang Caijie: "More than 2,000 but less than 3,000."
“How much money did you invest in this clothing store?”
Lin Shuyin, "I took 2,000, and my brother and sister-in-law took 2,000."
Yang Caijie, "Oh my god, you two invested four thousand."
Lin Shuyin, "Running a Dasao clothing store is different from running a hotel. We have to buy goods, in large quantities, and the main thing is to spend money on the goods."
"For a hotel, you need to pay for the tables, chairs, and benches, and then the daily cost of vegetables and meat. But you can buy them on the same day."
Yang Caijie said, "That's true."
Lin Shuyin, "So your investment should be less than ours, two thousand is about right."
"Sister-in-law, you should have a good discussion with your brother. Logically speaking, if you find a good location for the store and the chef's cooking skills are good, the business should be good."
Yang Caijie, "Your eldest brother's cooking skills must be no problem."
A chef from a state-owned hotel, his cooking skills must be excellent. After chatting about other things for a while, Yang Caijie stood up and said, "I'll go back and discuss this with your eldest brother."
"You said that we worked so hard this month and didn't make much money. If we could make a few hundred dollars by opening our own store, why don't we open our own store?"
Lin Shuyin stood up and said, "That's right."
Yang Caijie went home and told her husband Shen Hebin about it. In fact, they had discussed this matter before, but no one around them had opened their own store before.
So we just talked about it for a bit and that was it. Now we have the example of Lin Shuyin. Although the stores they want to open are different, this shows that individual business owners can work.
Some people earn 700 to 800 yuan a month, and that's when they are in partnership. If they don't have a partnership, they would earn over a thousand yuan a month.
Shen Hebin listened to Yang Caijie's nagging, "Wife, opening a store is risky. What if we lose money? We will lose our jobs and our savings."
Yang Caijie was angry and said, "I won't do it if there is a risk."
"Have you never heard the saying, 'Starvation kills the timid, while strength kills the brave?' How would we know if we don't do it?"
"Besides, when we open a hotel, we mainly look at the chef's cooking skills. If the chef's cooking skills are good, there will definitely be a lot of customers. You are a chef in a state-owned hotel. How can your cooking skills be bad?"
"That can't be possible."
Shen Hebin is very confident in his professional skills; he is a professional chef.
Yang Caijie, "Then what are you afraid of?"
Shen Hebin, "Let's think about our wife again."
Opening a store and doing business is still too risky.
Yang Caijie rolled her eyes at her man and said, "It's really hard to reason with you."
Shen Hebin, "What's wrong? It doesn't make sense."
Yang Caijie talked to Shen Hebin for a long time, but Shen Hebin still refused to give in, so Yang Caijie stopped talking to him.
She knew that her man's worries were not unreasonable, and she was worried too, but once she had this thought in her mind, she couldn't suppress it.
She wanted to open her own shop.
With this idea in mind, she would act in that direction. While strolling on Sunday, Yang Caijie unconsciously looked at shops and she chose one.
It’s a two-story house, with a total area of about 200 square meters.
Yang Caijie was also brave. She took the money and rented the place for a year. She didn't dare to tell Brother Shen, so she came to tell Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan.
Lin Shuyin was quite shocked. Her sister-in-law was really quick. Half a month ago, she said she wanted to discuss it, but now the shop has been rented.
Shen Guannan asked, "Sister-in-law, how many square meters is the shop?"
Yang Caijie said, "It's a two-story building, about 200 square meters. If I were to open a hotel, I'd have a dining table on the first floor and private rooms on the second floor."
Lin Shuyin, "This store is not small."
Yang Caijie: "Yes, it's quite big."
"I don't know how to tell your brother about this now."
Lin Shuyin, "Sister-in-law, you should tell me this earlier. The sooner you tell me, the sooner you can start decorating. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to wait until the weather gets cold before starting the decoration."
Yang Caijie understood, she smiled, "Then Shuyin Guannan, you two come with me later, and then you can help me put in a good word and persuade your eldest brother."
Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan said, "Okay."
Brother Shen was surprised that Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan came over. He smiled and said, "How come you two have time to come over?" Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan said, "Let's take a walk."
Sooner or later, the matter of renting a shop would have to be discussed. Yang Caijie glanced at Lin Shuyin and called to her husband, "Boss, come here. I have something to tell you."
Brother Shen walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yang Caijie coughed lightly and took out the contract from her bag, "Well, I rented a shop."
Brother Shen took the contract and asked, "What did you say?"
Yang Caijie sat on the sofa and said, "I said I rented a shop on Hongxing Road, on the second floor, about 200 square meters."
Brother Shen, "It's not you..."
Yang Caijie stood up and said, "What are you talking about? My shop has been rented out, so there is no point in you saying anything."
"What's wrong with us opening a restaurant? What's wrong with a chef in a state-owned hotel? You say that his cooking skills are good enough, so why don't you dare to try?"
Shen Hebin said, "No, even if you want to open a store, you have to discuss it with me. I will rent the store to you without saying a word!"
Brother Shen is angry!
Yang Caijie was even more angry, "Didn't I discuss this with you? It won't work even if I discuss it with you. I've told you so many times!"
Shen Hebin flipped through the contract twice and put it on the table. "Then you have to discuss it with me. If you say you want to rent it, then you can rent it. It's such a big deal."
Shen Guannan said, "Brother, the shop has been rented. It's useless for you to be angry right now. You should sit down and discuss the next matters with your sister-in-law."
Brother Shen said unhappily, "I was wondering why you two had time to come here. It turns out that you are the helpers your sister-in-law found."
Shen Guannan and Lin Shuyin touched their noses. Lin Shuyin,
"Brother, your cooking skills are fine. You can't lose money by opening this store. You should have confidence in yourself. Besides, the store has been rented out now. Can you just leave it there for nothing?"
Brother Shen, "You are trying to force me to get on the shelf."
Brother Shen sat there and scratched his head for a while, then accepted it. What could he do if he didn't accept it? The store had already been rented. Like his sister-in-law said, could the store just be left there for nothing?
He was really pissed off.
The rented shop is quite big, about 200 square meters, and it is on the second floor. It is not a single storefront like a clothing store. Moreover, it takes more time to decorate a hotel, and it will take at least two to three months.
Shen Hebin and Yang Caijie discussed it over and decided that Yang Caijie would resign first as she had to oversee the decoration, while Shen Hebin would resign after the store was decorated.
The store was bigger than they had expected. Two thousand yuan was not enough, so they borrowed one thousand from Shen's father and mother. Lin Shuyin, Shen Guannan, Shen's eldest sister and brother-in-law, Shen Yongjing and Chen Lijun, the three families each borrowed one thousand.
This means only success is allowed, failure is not allowed!
This matter was brought up by Yang Caijie. She was under the most pressure. She was so stressed that she couldn't sleep for the next few months. She asked Brother Shen,
"What do you say if the business is not good?"
Brother Shen was annoyed, "Are you scared now?"
Yang Caijie, "How can I not be afraid?"
I put all my savings and work into it, and I also borrowed another four thousand.
Brother Shen comforted his wife, "Trust your husband's cooking skills, our store can be successful."
Yang Caijie, "I'm counting on you."
