The airport construction project is progressing steadily. Because it is a piece-rate system, employees can get relatively high wages, so they are very motivated.
Zhou Yuan was naturally very satisfied with the motivated employees, fast progress of the project and guaranteed quality.
After checking the work and chatting with the employees for a few minutes, he prepared to leave.
Ouyang Xiaomei followed behind him, looking reluctant to leave and said, "Boss, when are you coming back after you leave? I'm waiting for you to treat me to a meal.
How about I treat you to a meal? You owe me one anyway."
"Okay, okay, it's just a meal, right? I'll definitely eat with you next time I come over. Xiaomei, remember what I said, Lao Er likes you, you should think about it carefully."
After Zhou Yuan finished speaking, he took the car keys and got into his car. He said goodbye to Ouyang Xiaomei and drove back.
At the entrance of a department store, a mobile phone seller was having a promotion.
The price has dropped by 3,000 yuan compared to before. It was more than 20,000 yuan at the beginning, but now it can be bought for more than 18,000 yuan.
A long-distance call costs 1.5 yuan, and a short-distance call costs a little over 80 cents, although the price is a bit expensive.
But Zhou Yuan doesn’t care so much about money now. The key is that he has a lot of business and it is convenient to use.
Without a mobile phone, everything has to be routed through the switchboard, especially when I'm on a business trip, as I'm completely cut off from communication.
In fact, when the mobile phone first came out, he wanted to buy one. The price was indeed a bit expensive at that time, and the performance was not very good. The signal was too poor and the call was often disconnected.
Now, after a period of operation and technical improvements, this thing has become more mature and easier to use than previous technologies.
So Zhou Yuan parked his car in a available spot on the side of the road and went to the sales counter to confront the salesperson who was speaking nonstop.
"Can you lower the price of this thing? Is the quality of the product guaranteed?"
There are two people on the other side. One of them stops speaking, and you immediately take the product in your hand to demonstrate it to Zhou Yuan, telling him that the product has powerful functions, good signal, and a one-year warranty. The most important thing is that there is a discount of 3,000 yuan.
Of course, if you are interested in buying, you can get a discount.
Since the other party said so, Zhou Yuan took the product and checked it over and over again, mainly to see if there was any damage and the call number.
Finally, I found that it was OK, at least the call could be connected, so I smiled and said to the other party: "Eighteen thousand is too expensive, I can buy one for sixteen thousand."
"Sir, the price has already been reduced by 3,000, and now you want to reduce it by 2,000. This is really too much. We dare not sell it! As it is, we have no profit. If it is still 2,000, we will lose a lot.
We definitely won't do anything that would make you lose money, right?"
The other party talked incessantly and was very eloquent, but Zhou Yuan insisted that he didn't want a cent more!
In this way, the other party insisted on not giving in, so he gently put down the things, clapped his hands, turned around and prepared to leave.
Seeing that he was unwilling to raise the price, the other party knew that this guy was a veteran in business, so he sighed and said:
"Hey, sir, don't go away. Okay, okay, I'll sell it to you at a loss, sir. After you buy it, please advertise it to us and tell your friends to come and buy it quickly. They'll see what a bargain it is!"
Zhou Yuan wanted to laugh after hearing this. This thing was as big as a brick. How could it be cheap?
After a few years, technology has advanced and the product has become smaller, easier to use and cheaper.
In the era of smartphones, this thing can be thrown there and no one will pick it up.
But he didn't say that.
I am a reborn person and I know what will happen in the future. These guys don’t know, so it’s useless to tell them. They will think you are bragging.
He spent money to buy a mobile phone, bought a card, and topped up some money. He asked the salesperson to put the card into the mobile phone. Zhou Yuan picked up the brick-sized thing and shakily called his mother at home.
"Hey, Mom, what are you doing now?"
When the phone rang, Liu Caijuan was in the kitchen, so she smiled and said, "I'm cooking. What made you call? What's the matter?"
"Mom, it's okay. I bought a mobile phone, which is what everyone calls a big brother. From now on, when you call me, just use my current number. I can answer the phone anytime.
And are you and Dad all right at home? How are you? Are you okay? "
"No problem, what's the problem? Your dad is planning to start a creative career, and he's always trying to write a blockbuster novel.
I don't care about family matters at all, and I'm too lazy to care about it. Everyone just needs to take care of themselves, right?
Son, it's the same for you out there. Take care of yourself and take care of your health."
"Yes, yes, yes, Mom, I get it. From now on, take care of yourself. I'll take care of myself too. As long as everyone is healthy, life will get better and better."
Zhou Yuan hung up the phone. When his mother Liu Caijuan heard that her son had actually spent money to buy a mobile phone, she hung up the phone and ran to the study excitedly and said to her husband:
"All you do all day is write novels, but you haven't achieved anything remarkable. Look how awesome your son is! He even bought a mobile phone.
It will be more convenient to call him next time.”
"You can call me every day if it's convenient for you. What's the point of calling me like that?" Zhou Dashu said, then lowered his head and started to think about his novel.
Ever since his son became a contractor, he built a house at home and subcontracted the contracted land.
Zhou Dashu had nothing to do all day long. He didn't like to brag to others, nor did he smoke or drink. He was so bored that he started to create.
Zhou Dashu actually loved literature since he was a child, although due to the conditions at the time, he only graduated from junior high school.
But he read a lot of classical books and literary masterpieces, and later when he had the means, he also bought some books by famous writers to read.
So I do have some basic knowledge about literature, and now I create every day when I have nothing to do.
He actually wrote a few poems, a few short essays, and two short stories and published them in newspapers.
This greatly increased his interest and strengthened his determination to create.
So the more I tinker with it, the more excited I become about the creation process.
Zhou Dashu started creating because he had nothing to do after eating and wanted to pass the time. Of course, in addition to that, it was also because of his love for literature.
All in all, I do this purely for love and don't expect to make much money.
He didn't need to earn much money given his circumstances. Just a little money Zhou Yuan sent home every month was enough for the couple to spend.
His younger sister Zhou Xiaoyu has graduated from university and works in a power strip company in Zhou Yuan's hometown, serving as Li Yue'er's assistant. She later became the company's deputy general manager in charge of sales and publicity.
She lives close to home and goes home to live with her parents every night after get off work, so when Liu Caijuan has nothing to do, she is responsible for preparing meals, doing housework, and keeping the house in order.
After Zhou Yuan called his mother, he quickly called his sister's factory to talk to her.
Zhou Xiaoyu happened to be in the office. When she heard her brother's voice, she said excitedly, "Boss, what day is today? Why did you remember to call me?"
