Among the twins born to Lin Yining, the elder sister Wang Yusan is more opinionated and has a more determined goal. She made a plan for her future before going to college.
My younger sister Wang Yuyan is a person who goes with the flow. She did well in college, but she was not sure about her future. Seeing her elder sister taking the civil service exam, she also took the exam, but she couldn't adapt.
During their four years in college and two years in graduate school, they lived a relatively carefree life, and studying was not difficult for the two sisters.
In addition to studying, their life in college is also colorful, with many new friends and many new sides.
The two sisters made some gains and some losses in their investments.
They each sold a house for cash. The elder sister invested the money in a project done by her seniors, and the younger sister invested it in a TV series.
The second generation also has its own circle. In this circle, the two sisters are good girls, some of them inherit their father's business at a young age and have a bright future, some are second-generation rich people who are uneducated, and some are second-generation rich people who have no bottom line and do all kinds of evil.
Of course, the goal of the two sisters is the first one.
Someone familiar with the project came to ask Wang Yuyan, and after reading the script and asking the lead actor, Wang Yuyan decided to invest in the project.
Web dramas don't cost much, and compared to other investments that can easily cost tens of millions, it's just a small thing. Wang Yuyan isn't afraid of being laughed at by others, because everyone knows each other. They're so familiar with each other. Her family is very strict, and she doesn't have much cash: "I don't have the energy to do your big projects, and I've never been involved in them. Let me get used to it first."
This low-budget web drama doesn’t cost much money, the total investment is only a few million, and Wang Yuyan contributed one million.
The finished product… She took a look at it and realized that she would not click on the next episode. She was a little disappointed, but it cannot be said that it had no merits at all. In the end, she suffered a small loss of more than 100,000 yuan in dividends, and her first investment failed.
The second time Wang Yuyan invested in stocks, she bought three stocks. One went up, one went down, and the other was almost flat. In the end, she made a small profit of four figures. However, considering her time cost, it was definitely a loss.
Wang Yuyan withdrew and decided to invest in TV dramas. If she happened to find a popular one, the profit would double. This time, Wang Yuyan learned her lesson. She read the script herself and made sure that it was interesting. Then she became the biggest investor. No extra people were allowed to invest and the company had to focus on filming the drama.
Although the male and female protagonists of the first web drama she invested in did not change, the daughter's role was changed. If Wang Yuyan had seen the revised script before she invested, she would not have invested again.
This time Wang Yuyan did well and her income doubled.
This is the difference between having experience and being inexperienced. The first time, she was too loose and I didn't pay much attention to her because we were just friends.
The second female lead is her friend’s “friend”.
This is a lesson learned.
No matter who you do business with, you should not be careless.
After that, Wang Yuyan also made other investments intermittently, some short-term and some long-term, but they were all small-scale and Wang Yuyan didn't pay too much attention to them.
She is still a student.
She is studying for a double degree.
After that, she took the postgraduate entrance examination, but it only made her more certain that she did not like this major, so she followed her sister to take the civil service examination. After passing the exam, Wang Yuyan resigned within less than a year.
This path is not for her.
Although it is a path that many people can't even dream of, she has a choice.
After relaxing at home for a while, she turned around and went to find her grandmother. "Grandma, I want to try doing business and see how I do."
She is not like her mother, who can practice calligraphy for decades without changing her personality or hobbies. But she must have a career, otherwise she will just be a parasite, living a life of idleness and waiting to die. Wang Yuyan does not have much ambition, but she does not want to be a parasite either.
So she wanted to go to her grandmother's house and try for a while, and if that didn't work, she would try something else.
If it still doesn't work, try again.
Before she turned thirty, she could take her time to make choices.
Grandma agreed immediately and asked her to go to the beauty business department.
Meiyan is a well-known brand in the country.
The living advertisement is my grandmother herself. No matter how old she is, her skin condition is unmatched by many young people.
The most famous one is the anti-aging series, and the other is the freckle removal and whitening series. These two series are the mainstays.
Again, expensive.
She actually worked as a salesperson in the business department. When Wang Yuyan learned that her grandmother had arranged such a job for her, she felt embarrassed.
Speaking of which, not many people start from such a low position in their own industry. It seems that my grandmother doesn't like to be parachuted in.
When she told her sister what position her grandmother would give her, her sister said she might be a manager in a small department, or more likely just a deputy manager with the title of deputy manager but without any subordinates under her.
Mom feels the same way.
They didn't think that they would parachute her into a very high position all of a sudden. That wouldn't suit grandma's character. She preferred to proceed step by step in this regard.
After being surprised, Wang Yuyan also felt that it was just as she expected. After all, she was at the bottom and just had to work hard.
At the beginning, Wang Yuyan found it hard to bring herself to sell her products to customers, and she could only stand there with a smile on her face. However, her performance was not bad because she had the necessary conditions to succeed. She could look at her skin condition and ask her what she was using.
With this example in mind, a considerable number of people who asked questions actually placed orders.
This gave her confidence.
If you don’t want to do it, then forget it. But if you do it, you have to do it to the best of your ability. Actively promoting sales is just a start. It is actually not as difficult as she imagined.
She has knowledge of many types of clothing and jewelry, and now she is working in sales to make up for her shortcomings. She can basically tell the price of a person's clothes, and she has a good increase in salary, so she has an advantage in this line of work.
After four months of work, she got first place in sales for the first time. Then she got it. Those stupid friends could buy from anywhere else, so why not from her?
Come and place your order. Come and place your order.
It's time to test friendship.
Originally, no one knew she was a salesgirl here, but now that they know, what else can they say? Just buy, buy, buy!
It won’t expire in a short while, so you must support your friends.
All of a sudden, Wang Yuyan's performance was outstanding, and she received a promotion order and became the business manager of a beauty department in a certain district of the city, in charge of more than ten counters.
Some people were dissatisfied because her resume was too shallow.
Especially the deputy managers, they have been waiting for this position for so long, why is she so lucky? The performance they have achieved in such a long time is not bad.
This is a challenge for Wang Yuyan. If she doesn't handle it well, she will be sidelined.
Wang Yuyan was also suspected of being a person with connections who was parachuted in. Of course, she is a person with connections.
However, Wang Yuyan would not expose herself. If she said that she was a relative, some people would come to her for help, but what would happen after that?
Are they really convinced?
Yu Xiangan has been following her progress.
If she doesn't like being a civil servant, she could change to another job, but Yu Xiangan hopes that she knows that no matter what job you do, it is not easy.
You will encounter various problems.
Sometimes you can take shortcuts, but there are always times when you can't.
Wang Yuyan's choice caused many people to murmur.
Who do Yu Xiangan and his family plan to pass on their family business to in the future? Is she doing this to fight for it?
To be honest, many of Wang Yuyan’s classmates and friends come from families that are in business, and her grandmother’s family economy is definitely at the top, but in comparison, they are all extremely low-key.
Other people’s children have luxury houses, luxury cars, yachts and helicopters, but what about them?
In the joking words of Wang Yuyan’s friends, their life is so low-key that it seems as if they are going bankrupt.
Someone also passed the message to Xu Zhenzhen. Although the person who passed the message did not exaggerate, he still did not hide the look in his eyes, which made Xu Zhenzhen see that he was watching a show.
Xu Zhenzhen kept a straight face, "My child has graduated. If he is interested in this industry, then he can go for it. It's our own industry, so it's a good thing for him to learn more."
After everyone left, Xu Zhenzhen thought for a long time in the department.
She is a military doctor stationed in the unit. She met Lin Yihong when he was injured and she was assigned to take care of him. That's how the two of them got to know each other, and then they got together through someone's introduction. Now their son is a freshman in college.
I went to a military school.
If nothing unexpected happens, the son will follow his father's old path in the future. Naturally, he will not be able to get involved in any business and can only get dividends.
What should the child’s grandparents do with the huge family business?
When she married Lin Yihong, she didn't know that his parents were so rich.
To be honest, she was marrying above her station by marrying Lin Yihong.
But he wasn't aiming too high, as three generations of the Xu family were in the military system.
It would be a lie to say that Xu Zhenzhen was not jealous of the child's grandparents' share of the family business.
Who doesn’t like money?
Money can buy a lot of things, and she didn't steal or rob the money, so she can spend it as she pleases.
Although the child’s grandparents seem to be in good health and have a long life ahead of them, have they decided on the heir?
Are you planning to give it to your granddaughter?
So what should they do?
The more Xu Zhenzhen thought about it, the more she felt that she needed to ask Lin Yihong about this matter.
Ask him if he knows what the child’s grandparents are planning.
Do you plan to hand over those industries to managers in the future?
When Lin Yihong returned home, he took off his military uniform and changed into comfortable pajamas. Xu Zhenzhen brought over a plate of fruit, put it down, and said, "Is there anything wrong? I have something to tell you."
Lin Yihong relaxed his muscles, making a clicking sound.
"What's up?"
Xu Zhenzhen: "Someone told me today that Yuyan went to help her grandmother run the business. Did you know that? Will they hand over my parents' business to her in the future?" She went straight to the point.
She wasn't secretive.
It's not like I'm doing anything bad.
Of course Lin Yihong had asked. At his age, he could not choose to inherit the family business. When his son was taking the college entrance examination, he hesitated for a long time. However, the child's wish was the same as hers, so there was nothing to say. Naturally, she would choose what the child wanted to do according to his wishes.
After deciding on his major, Lin Yihong called his mother and told her the news. He then asked her whether she would hire a manager to manage the family business in the future.
As a result, he was provoked. His mother said, "Your father and I are in good health. If you are worried about the distribution of the property, let me put it bluntly. If you don't take good care of your job, we may live longer than you. This family business is earned by us, and we have the right to dispose of it. Of course, after we are gone, it will be given to you children. Your father and I do not discriminate against boys. You and your sister are both my children. I still say the same thing. If none of you want to manage this business, we can hire a manager after your father and I are gone. I will also set up a family trust. If any of the children are willing to do so, we can see if she can bear the burden."
Lin Yihong felt heartbroken. With his great-grandfather's longevity in mind, he really didn't dare to say that he could live longer than his parents.
He is in good health now, but it is hard to say how he will be when he gets older.
Moreover, he and his sister had little contact in business, so he did not have much right to intervene. For example, when donating money for charity, he only found out about it after he had donated.
Then I ask, how many percentage points of net profit do your parents take out every year to do good deeds, such as building Hope Primary Schools, repairing bridges and roads, etc. Those numbers added up are an astronomical figure.
Many people do good deeds to show off, but my parents do it for real, and many of them are not reported at all. Only people who pay special attention to this aspect will know the news. Do you feel sad to see the money wasted?
He feels sad because all he gets is more than what his parents gave him.
When they were admitted to university, their parents prepared a house and shop for them, and their household registration was separated. Then when they got married, the sister gave them a dowry and he also gave them some money.
At that time, my parents said, "This is for you to start a family. In the future, you will have your own small family. As the old saying goes, when the children get married, they will live separately. You will plan your own life in the future. Your parents may or may not provide you with subsidies. It's up to you to decide. Don't spend it all, or you won't get any subsidies if you do."
After that, he was extremely well-off, and the things he was given had made him a wealthy man. A big part of the reason why he lives such a comfortable life now is because of this.
The salary they get is really not much, let alone other things. If they want to buy a house in the capital now with their own salary, they will have to spend their entire life on it.
However, in daily life, Lin Yihong is still very simple. He is worried that a luxurious life will corrupt his willpower. After being used to enjoying the good, he will have to overcome difficulties if he uses the bad.
He uses the money for financial management when it is not needed and takes it out for use when it is needed. He lends money to his comrades who have family difficulties or have suffered accidents and come to him to borrow money.
He also donates to minors whose parents are away.
Money is a person's courage. With this money, he has a way out. Even if others want to use sugar-coated bullets, Lin Yihong is also particularly firm.
Give money? Is he short of money?
No matter how much money you pay, the principles cannot be changed!
As for not favoring boys over girls, he was used to it. From childhood to adulthood, his parents always prepared double portions of everything, and they were basically exactly the same.
Now listening to his wife's words, it was obvious that she had some thoughts.
Lin Yihong also knew that although men and women were equal, in most families, if there were no boys, it would be fine, but if there were boys, the family property would belong to the boy.
But it's not like that in his family. Besides, it's his younger sister who spends the most time with his parents, and it's his younger sister and niece who are more filial. He has no objection to his younger sister taking the majority of the family business.
He didn't feel anything about getting his share, because in order to get the phone, his parents would have to die, and then it would become an inheritance. He didn't want his parents to die at all, and wasn't the money he had enough for him?
Lin Yihong said what his mother meant at the beginning: "Don't think too much. Have you been working overtime again these days? If you don't pay attention to your health, you will age quickly. Think about how long my great-grandfather lived. My parents are in better health than my great-grandfather. They hardly get sick and are in great health. Our family is not short of money. Money is just a number. If you don't take good care of it, you might as well think about how to give the money to our son after we die. Should we transfer the property in advance to save some inheritance tax?"
Xu Zhenzhen took a breath, and her reaction was the same as Lin Yihong's when he heard Yu Xiangan say that. She felt heartbroken.
If you don't take good care of yourself, you might not live longer than your parents-in-law. By then, no one will care about anything else because you'll be dead too.
Thinking about it this way, Xu Zhenzhen felt that she was probably too tired from working overtime during this period, otherwise how could she have forgotten this.
Isn't this just a waste of time? !
………
Wang Yuyan put a lot of effort into subjugating the two deputy managers. She didn't want to be looked down upon.
Even if she was airdropped, she was a capable one!
Everything is about performance!
After subduing the subordinate, Yu Xiangan acted democratically this time and asked her, "Where do you want to go next?"
Wang Yuyan hesitated for a moment, "Grandma, where do you think I should go? Grandma, you should help me arrange it. I don't know where I will go. This will be fresh and I am looking forward to it. I will listen to you!"
Yu Xiangan: "Okay!"
Yu Xiangan sent her to the Food City, and Wang Yuyan became an inspector.
Responsible for checking the hygiene, certificates, whether the stores are bullying customers, etc. of the merchants in the food city.
For this purpose, she received some training, without which she would not know what to check.
This is necessary because if the shop's hygiene is seriously substandard or even toxic, they will also be implicated.
Random checks from time to time are a guarantee for both parties.
When she came here, Wang Yuyan's pace suddenly slowed down. She went shopping in this store and then that store. After working here for a month, she gained three kilograms.
Wang Yuyan couldn't believe the number on the scale. Only one month had passed!
She knew that she had eaten a little more when she went for a check-up this month, but wasn’t this too exaggerated?
She is obviously restrained!
Wang Yuyan looked at the fat on her belly and almost fainted in the toilet from crying.
No, I must not eat this starting tomorrow!
She ate a bite here and a bite there, it didn't seem like much, but the quantity was so large that the amount went up.
She reflected on herself and asked her colleagues for advice, but her colleagues all stuck out their bellies and said, "What do you want to ask? What else don't you understand after seeing this?"
Wang Yuyan: “…”
Too real and scary.
None of her colleagues are thin. This is horrible! This cannot go on.
When Yu Xiangan asked her how her work was going there, she heard Wang Yuyan's crying, "Grandma, this is the first time I know that my self-control is so weak. I will work hard to improve it!" For her slim waist, she will fight for it!
Although it’s a bit unfair, but…
Yu Xiangan: “Hahahaha!”
I couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Apart from the fat, is there anything else to gain?"
If you want to talk about other things, there are.
Compared to the sales department of Meiyan, life here is so leisurely and colleagues are very friendly. There is competitive pressure among each other in the sales department of Meiyan, but here it is very retirement-friendly.
There was nothing for her to do, and it was enough for her to examine the thing with principle and care.
But she wouldn't always be an inspector, so Wang Yuyan also took the opportunity to observe others.
Such as traffic flow, customer preferences and so on.
They are not the only one in every city. There are others, and some are food streets organized by the government.
After seeing so many, I found that food streets and food cities are all the same, with stinky tofu, spicy hot pot, skewers, barbecue, cold noodles, hot pot, sushi, chicken wings, chicken feet, pig's trotters... a hodgepodge of everything.
Since everyone has it, it is not so easy to show the unique features. At this time, the advantages lie in taste and price. The food city with more delicious food and more affordable prices will attract more traffic and customers.
Her grandmother's food city has an advantage, which is that it has been in business for a long time and has many old customers returning.
The rent will not be too high in comparison, which can reduce the merchant's costs a little bit. The final pricing will be a little bit cheaper than others. Don't underestimate that little difference.
Many people are willing to walk one or two kilometers for a difference of one dollar.
Another important advantage is that the surrounding supporting facilities are mature. In addition to food, you can also shop for clothes, shoes and other things. If they complement each other, it would be unfair if the business was not good.
There are some flaws, too.
Wang Yuyan has heard more than once that some old customers look at the menu and say that there are no new styles and that many stores are not innovative.
Many people like to try new things. Even if they don’t taste good, they won’t go there again next time. But if they have never been there, they just want to try it. Maybe they can find a treasure?
Many people have this mentality, including Wang Yuyan herself.
Yu Xiangan asked him, "If it were you, what would you do to improve this problem? You've also seen that those businesses that are not doing well, the rent is not cheap, they won't last long, and then new businesses will move in, and those that can hold on, they have good business and make a lot of money, they don't have too much energy to spend on innovation, because their old capital already has a lot of customers."
Wang Yuyan continued, this problem does not seem to be very serious, because the market is a place where the fittest survive, and those that don’t make their food delicious will not be able to continue. The stores that can survive are those that are liked by customers. In this case, they will naturally not be so enthusiastic about innovating a variety that they don’t know whether it will be popular or not. Those that are not doing well in business will try their best to innovate in order to save their business.
In this way, there will be a sense of freshness.
Yu Xiangan: "Stay for another two months."
During these two months, she observed carefully and found that everyone's menu was not static.
New seasonal products will be added as the seasons change.
She had indeed observed some before, but most of them were satisfactory.
As for launching a new product every week, many people do not have the time, energy or money to do it.
After three months, Wang Yuyan's probation period ended and she resigned.
As usual, when asked where she wanted to go, Wang Yuyan still said to let her grandmother decide.
Every time I go to work and come into contact with things I have never come across before, I can truly understand the problems I face.
When you arrive at a new place or start a new job, you will have different feelings.
It's so fresh.
...Wang Yuyan was assigned to work in logistics at a seaside resort hotel.
Before reporting, her grandmother asked her a question: if she was asked to host a wedding banquet for thousands of people, would she be confident?
Grandma hopes she can give him an answer in a month.
Less than a month later, Wang Yuyan handed in her answer, but it was not acceptable.
There are venues in hotels for wedding banquets that can accommodate thousands of people, but this is really a huge project and is not seen often.
Tables, chairs, scene layout, emcee, food, drinks, serving food, etc. are all challenges for a hotel.
Half a month after she came here, she had the honor to participate in the organization of a wedding banquet for six or seven hundred people, which made her almost vomit blood.
The bride had many opinions on the wedding banquet layout. The customer is God, and they could only cooperate with the wedding decoration company to make the bride satisfied.
Most of the time, a wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and Wang Yuyan fully understands the desire to make it perfect, but this is too much trouble!
The flower arrangement at the wedding banquet alone was rejected more than ten times!
Unmarried Wang Yuyan feels tired of the wedding even though she hasn't gotten married yet.
Their hotel was not the direct recipient of the other party's nitpicking, but the wedding company. This was already a headache for her. The other party also considered the menu several times, and there were also the wedding theme, the color and pattern of the tables and chairs, etc.
It’s amazing!
The service industry is really not easy!
It's easy to talk to someone, but it's really exhausting when you meet someone who is easy to talk to.
Lin Chuanbai looked at his granddaughter's tired appearance and smiled at Yu Xiangan: "Did you do this on purpose?"
Yu Xiangan did not deny it.
This guest was indeed not easy to serve. They had previously booked another hotel, but were not satisfied with the communication. She would rather not pay the deposit and change hotel. She was not short of money.
Such guests are undoubtedly difficult to communicate with, but they can also be more training for people.
Lin Chuanbai was thinking about a question: after experiencing such a wedding organization, would she have a psychological trauma about weddings in the future?
