Chapter 184 One Person Borrows 5,000

Chen Lijun shook his head, "You work in a department store, you ask me to observe the market, and when you have a break, you can go for a stroll on the street."

Shen Yongjing said, "Okay, I'll go ask my second sister-in-law after I observe the market."

Chen Lijun: "Well, ask, my second sister-in-law has experience."

Sister Shen and her husband were also discussing this matter. Unlike Chen Lijun, her husband Hao Guoqing was quite opinionated. He said, "Wife, why don't we open a supermarket?"

Shen Lanying, “Supermarket”

Hao Guoqing nodded, "Yes, supermarkets are like supply and marketing cooperatives. We can have more products than supply and marketing cooperatives."

Shen Lanying: "But where can I find the source of goods?"

When it comes to opening a clothing store, her brother and sister-in-law have the source of goods, and they know the manufacturers and so on, but when it comes to opening a supermarket, they really have to cross the river by feeling the stones.

I don't understand anything.

Hao Guoqing, "Don't worry about this daughter-in-law, I'll find her."

"We want to open a supermarket. We don't have enough money. Please talk to your two younger siblings."

Shen Lanying nodded, "Okay."

"How much do you want to borrow?"

Hao Guoqing: "Five thousand."

Shen Lanying took a deep breath and said in surprise, "Five thousand yuan, what are you playing with?"

"We can't afford to pay back the loss."

Hao Guoqing swallowed his saliva and said, "Wife, let's each borrow 5,000 yuan and open a big supermarket."

Shen Lanying heard this and said, "Don't open it. It's 10,000 yuan. We can't even pay it back after we sell it."

Hao Guoqing, "No matter what my wife does, there are risks. Opening a supermarket is the safest option. Everyone will go into a supermarket to buy things, such as cigarettes, alcohol, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, vegetables, fruits, daily necessities, and drinks."

"As long as we find a good location for opening a supermarket, we won't lose too much. Believe me."

Shen Lanying: "But 10,000 yuan is too much."

Ten thousand! Her monthly salary is less than a hundred. The two of them together only make a hundred.

This will cost me money. How many years will it take me to pay it back?

Hao Guoqing, "We will open this supermarket next year. The second and third stores, especially the third store, have opened two new stores in succession. I guess they don't have much money left."

Shen Lanying, "It will open next year, and 10,000 yuan is a lot."

Hao Guoqing, "Talk to your two brothers and sisters and see if what I said is right. Opening a supermarket will definitely be a good idea."

Shen Lanying, "Okay, I'll talk to them when I have time."

After Lin Shuyin opened her clothing store, she renovated her third store, which became a tobacco and liquor store, selling high-end liquor, cigarettes and tea.

This is absolutely true in the capital, where there is a lot of money and people.

Sarin was convinced, "You are so fast. This clothing store has only been open for a month, and you have already opened a second store?"

Lin Shuyin laughed, "I'll feel bad if I don't spend the money."

Sarin, "I'm impressed by you."

"What do you say about me opening a shoe store?"

Her elder brother and younger brother haven't paid back the money yet, but the store has just opened and is profitable. They said they will pay it back next year. As long as the store is profitable, they won't have to worry about not being able to pay it back.

Lin Shuyin said, "Sure, a shoe store is similar to a clothing store, it should make a lot of money."

Sarin said, "Then I will find a shop and open one. I opened a second shop before the Chinese New Year this year. I want to follow in your footsteps."

"Okay, okay, go ahead."

After she opens the tobacco and liquor store this year, she will not open any other shops and will use the money she earns to buy shops.

After observing the market stalls for a few days, Shen Yongjing decided to sell small accessories such as hairpins, headbands, earrings, rings, and bracelets based on her financial strength.

Because the cost was small, only a few hundred dollars, she would not be too sad if she lost it. Besides, she saw other people selling these things on the street.

As long as the stall is open for a long time, you won’t be able to sell your products if you don’t trust them.

Unlike her eldest brother and sister-in-law's restaurant, which required an investment of several thousand, and her second sister-in-law's clothing store business, which also required an investment of several thousand.

This is going to be a loss, there is really no way out, it's really over.

After running around for a few days and finding the source of goods, Shen Yongjing quit his job and went to set up the stall every day, working very hard from morning till night.

Chen Hongxia knew that her sister-in-law was setting up a stall, so when Shen Yongjing came over, she asked, "Sister-in-law, how much money can you make in a day? You work so hard?"

Everyone has become darker.

Shen Yongjing: "Not much, just a few dollars, only one or two dollars more than working."

Chen Hongxia, "That's not much."

Shen Yongjing smiled. Her business was very good. She could earn at least ten yuan a day, and up to fifty yuan.

She can earn at least 600 this month, and after deducting the costs she can earn 300 a month.

But she won't tell.

Shen Yongjing's stall business is booming. She started in September and it is exactly one month till October. In that month, she has earned more than 1,100 yuan.

After deducting the cost, she made a net profit of six hundred.

Twelve times her salary, my God, no wonder so many people open businesses, this self-employed person makes more money than she imagined.

She discussed with Chen Lijun, "Lijun, why don't you quit your job and we can sell clothes together with accessories."

"We sell both men's and women's clothing. After two or three years, we can work hard to buy a shop. What do you think?"

"I want to sell clothes but I can't do it alone. I need two people to do it."

Chen Lijun thought for a moment, "If I sell clothes, where can I get the goods from my second sister-in-law?"

Shen Yongjing shook his head. "No, I know the manufacturer. The goods sold by my second sister-in-law are different from those sold at our stall. They are better than ours. My second sister-in-law can't sell her goods at her stall. They are too expensive."

She didn't run the stall for nothing for the past month. In her free time, she talked with people around her and figured everything out.

"We can just sell clothes and small accessories, and add some earrings, hats, and scarves in the winter, and belts and scarves in the summer. What do you think?"

It would be a waste not to make money from this. I'm going to sell them all anyway, so I can sell some other things at the same time. They're all things I wear anyway.

"How about this? I'll set up the stall for another month, and then we'll start selling winter clothes in November. What do you think, Lijun?"

This time Chen Lijun did not object.

He nodded, "Okay, wife, I'll listen to you."

Shen Yongjing, "Let's work hard. By this time next year, I hope we will have a TV and a refrigerator at home."

Chen Lijun, "Come on."

He was suddenly irritated by what his wife said.

In October, Lin Shuyin's Tobacco and Liquor Store was opened. The cost of running a tobacco and liquor store is no less than that of a clothing store, and they stock only fine wine, cigarettes and tea.

But the business is much quieter than that of a clothing store, and it’s a slow-moving store.

The tobacco, alcohol and tea shop would probably be busy during the Chinese New Year, so Lin Shuyin hired two clerks. In addition to the basic salary, the clerks in the tobacco and tea shop also receive commissions, five cents for a bottle of alcohol and five cents for a pack of cigarettes.

The same goes for cosmetics store employees, they all receive commissions.

Because the shop is her own, Lin Shuyin's mentality doesn't change much whether the business is good or bad.

Although the tobacco and liquor store business was slow, Lin Shuyin earned a thousand yuan after deducting the costs in the first month.

Just make money, this kind of store business develops slowly, not as hot as clothing stores.

By the end of December, the Sarin shoe store was also opened.

Her elder brother and younger brothers returned the money to her.

Lin Shuyin started her winter vacation in early January. She had nothing to do, so she went to the street to see if there were any suitable shops selling goods.

She didn’t know what kind of business to start for the fourth store. In fact, she really wanted to open a western restaurant, but it was difficult to find a chef.

It is easy to find Chinese chefs these days, but difficult to find Western chefs.

Because I had this plan in mind, when I bought a shop, I chose a shop of about 200 square meters and bought it.

My savings were all gone, leaving me with only 5,000 yuan for purchasing goods.

Lin Shuyin became quiet after she had no money. During the day, she cooked, went to the store, and read books to earn points.

Seeing that her mother was no longer busy, Siyu asked, "Mom, do you have time?"

Lin Shuyin, "What's wrong?"

Si Yu, "Didn't you say you would bake a cake for me? You forgot about it for half a year, Mom."

“You never did it for me.”

Lin Shuyin was embarrassed, "Oh, I'm sorry, baby, mommy was so busy that she forgot."

She only has time during summer and winter vacations, but she has been busy opening the store since she came back from summer vacation this year. After opening the clothing store, she continued to renovate the tobacco and alcohol store. After that, school started and she went to work every day.

I only have free time during the winter vacation.

Si Yu hugged Lin Shuyin's neck and kissed her on the face, "It's okay, Mom. I forgive you. You work so hard every day to earn money to support me."

Lin Shuyin also kissed her, "Oh, my girl is so nice. Mommy will make you a cake tomorrow, okay? Mommy will go buy the ingredients this afternoon."

Siyu nodded, "Sure, Mom."

Lin Shuyin reflected on herself. She had promised the child, but she forgot about it the moment she turned around. If Siyu hadn't told her today, she probably wouldn't have remembered it.

She hopes that she will not be a parent that her children need to feel grateful to. People say that giving birth to a child is not a favor, but raising a child is a favor. She and Shen Guannan are working on it.

She worked hard for money, and Shen Guannan worked hard for status.

Pave a smooth road for their daughters.

In the afternoon, Lin Shuyin went to buy ingredients. To make a cake, she needed an oven, so she bought a Triangle brand electric oven, a small green one.

She doesn't know how to use this oven, but the salesperson has already taught her, and tomorrow is Sunday, Shen Guannan will be at home, so if she still doesn't know how to use it, she can ask him.

I also bought other things, such as cheese butter, which are hard to buy these days, so I had to go to the Friendship Store to buy them.

She started working as soon as she got home. She had free time anyway, so after cooking the vegetables and stewing the rice, Lin Shuyin started to use the oven. She made egg tart skins and wanted to bake some egg tarts.

When Shen Guannan came back in the evening, he smelled a fragrance as he entered the house. It was a mixture of eggs and milk, with a hint of sweetness.

He sniffed and walked to the kitchen, "Wife, what are you doing?"

Siyu took a small stool and stood in front of the oven. She turned around and said, "Dad, Mom is making egg tarts."

“Have you ever had egg tarts?”

Shen Guannan shook his head. Not to mention having eaten this egg pie before, it was even the first time he had heard of it.

He asked his daughter, "What is that?"

Siyu, "It's delicious."

Shen Guannan, "Girl, you're saying nothing."

It has such a sweet smell, it must be delicious.

Lin Shuyin was washing the pots and dishes. There were so many small bowls and pans used for baking. She turned around and said, "It's a dessert made by baking eggs, milk and sugar together."

"It will be fine in a moment, you two can go out now."

“This kitchen is crowded.”

Si Yu raised his head and said, "Dad, please go out."

Shen Guannan, "Your mother called us to go out, so you should come out too."

Lin Shuyin said, "Yes, yes, both of you go out and don't gather in front of me. I'll clean up."

The kitchen was not big to begin with, and with so many people crammed in, it was dark and oppressive, especially the tall one of Shen Guannan, who blocked her view.

Shen Guannan took Siyu out, and soon he came back in. He sniffed the oven and smiled.

"Wife, let me get the bowl."

The dishes and rice were placed on the table, but Siyu didn't eat. She was waiting for the egg tarts.

The ones her mother made are so beautiful, each one is small and exquisite.

"Your mother said, there are still ten minutes left, girl, you should eat first." Shen Guannan said.

Si Yu shook his head, "I can't eat without seeing the egg custard."

All right.

Ten minutes later, the egg tarts finally came out.

"Wow! It must be delicious, mom."

"Wow! Wife, it smells so good!"

Lin Shuyin was followed by a large and a small group. She put the egg custard on the table and said, "Let it cool. It's too hot now. Eat it later."

Shen Guannan, "Wife, let's put it outside the window, it will be cool, it will cool down in seconds."

Lin Shuyin glanced at him and said, "You are really smart!"

So I put the egg custard on the counter outside the window.

In the cold winter, it really gets cold in just a few minutes.

The egg puffs smelled delicious. Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan ate two each, and Siyu ate three. A total of ten were baked, and there were three left.

Siyu asked, "Can I give my classmates some of the food my mom leaves behind?"

Lin Shuyin nodded, "You can take it."

Siyu has three good friends in school. One is her deskmate, and the other two are also her deskmate and former deskmate. They get along well.

The four of them made an appointment to go ice skating today.

So after breakfast early in the morning, Siyu took out the three egg pie that Lin Shuyin had heated up for him. Maybe these three people were Siyu’s good friends.

The little girl was so hungry last night that she couldn't bear to eat.

Just say you want to bring it to your friends to try.

Lin Shuyin was making a cake. She wanted to make a Basque cake, but it was too troublesome to make a cream cake. Basque cake was easier.

Just mix the cheese and flour until smooth.

Then put it in the oven to bake.

Shen Guannan was free, so he came to the kitchen to help Lin Shuyin.

"Guannan, what do you think about me opening a Western restaurant next year?" Lin Shuyin thought about it all night yesterday.

The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to open a Western restaurant.

She thinks the Western restaurant in Haishi is very good.

There are not many Western restaurants in Beijing, and most of them serve Russian food. She wants to open a Western restaurant serving French or Italian food.

But she didn't know where to find a chef.

Go abroad to recruit people

Not very realistic.

Shen Guannan: "A Western restaurant, like Haishi?"

Lin Shuyin responded, "Yes, it's a Western restaurant like that, serving French or Italian food."

"It's just that I don't know where to find a chef."

Shen Guannan thought for a moment and said, "This is indeed a problem. Wife, why don't you ask your colleagues, and then I'll ask them as well."

Lin Shuyin nodded, "Okay."

That's all I can do to find out.

"Wife, let's go back to visit my parents next year. Mom called me this morning and talked about it." Shen Guannan was washing dishes.

“We haven’t been back for several years.”

I went back once in 1979, and it has been five or six years now.
