"I planted these. I'm busy at work, so I don't have time to plant these!"
Mother Chen liked this courtyard very much: "I will stay here after I leave and show you the courtyard."
As soon as these words came out, Chen's father jumped up and said, "You're leaving? Okay, okay, if you stay here, what should I do?"
After being delayed for several months, Chen's mother was almost depressed: "It has to go on, I will go back anyway."
Father Chen said sternly: "Why are you like this?"
Chen's mother wanted to talk to him.
Chen Ji was asking for it: "You don't have a job now, and it's useless to stay in your hometown. You might as well stay in Kyoto and do some business!
Grandma Xu and her friends have very good business. They have invited so many people and there are still enough people.
That's right.
My sister built a clothing factory in Chaoyang District.
She plans to register a brand and sell her clothes all over the world.”
Mother Chen was so moved by what she heard that she wanted to roll up her sleeves and have a big fight with the old lady and the others: "If your father had agreed to my doing business, I would have come a long time ago.
Men are really bad at making money.”
When Mr. Chen came to Kyoto this time, he saw that there were many street vendors, so he was not so opposed to doing business. But if he let his wife stay here, she would say: "You can only make money by doing business in Kyoto. You can do the same in your hometown."
When Chen's mother heard this, she was quite surprised: "You object?"
Facing the doubtful look of Chen's mother, Chen's father looked away calmly and hummed a few times: "You have sold your job, so find something to do. It's boring at home."
This time, Chen's mother would not give in. She was particularly firm in her tone: "Kyoto is a big city with rapid development. I will go back to my hometown and stay here."
Father Chen: “…”
That afternoon.
After dinner, Chen Ji and the other two came to the courtyard.
Chen Ji got straight to the point: "Grandma Xu, I want you to be my matchmaker."
Mrs. Xu raised her eyebrows: "Well, when are we going to the girl's house?"
"Today at five o'clock in the afternoon."
Mrs. Xu: “So fast?”
Chen Ji nodded: "Yes, she will come to Kyoto to study on the 25th, which will give me more time."
"OK--"
…
August twenty-fifth.
Liu Shasha stepped into the courtyard for the first time.
She looked at the antique building and her jaw dropped in shock: "Chen Ji, this, this is Xu Jiajia's home? Does she live so well?"
Chen Ji nodded and said, "Yes, my sister is very capable."
Liu Shasha exclaimed: "This room is so beautiful. Living here, I feel like I am an ancient governor."
School hasn't started yet.
Xu Jiajia is also at home.
She was deeply impressed by Liu Shasha: "We have a good connection. I never thought that we would end up in such a relationship."
Liu Shasha grinned: "I didn't expect that either. I will call you sister from now on."
"Casual."
"sister."
Xu Jiajia responded.
Liu Shasha shouted.
Chen Ji was jealous when he heard this: "This is my sister."
Liu Shasha rolled her eyes: "You are my fiancé, so your sister is my sister?"
Chen Ji: “…”
It makes so much sense that I can't refute it.
After Liu Shasha finished her meal in the courtyard, she left with Chen Ji.
She wanted to walk around and get familiar with the surrounding environment before school started.
…
December 20, 1978.
Xu Jiajia has developed an energy-saving water heater.
The first generation of water heaters were liquefied gas water heaters.
This type of water heater is prone to air leakage, poisoning, cumbersome installation, and energy-saving and environmentally friendly.
Xu Jiajia thought this method was too safe, so she developed an energy-saving and safer water heater.
It produces hot water continuously. It will not be like before, only enough for two people to wash at a time, and it will take a long time to produce hot water after washing.
"What? You have researched something new? You have strong business capabilities!" The director of the military factory was shocked by Xu Jiajia's speed.
The last color TV made us a lot of money.
The water heater this time will definitely be bad.
Xu Jiajia brought the director of the military factory to the machinery factory and pointed to the new water heater hanging on the wall: "It's this one. It looks big, but it can actually store a lot of water."
The director of the military factory immediately liked the appearance of the new water heater and said, "This one is good, this one is good, how much do you want for one?"
Xu Jiajia: "All the products are 15. The Chinese ones are 30. The international ones are 88."
The director of the military factory stared at Xu Jiajia in a daze: "Eight eight, is it too high?"
Xu Jiajia raised her chin and said quietly: "I studied this water heater just to make money from the Chinese people.
Factory Director.
The Chinese are richer than we thought, so you don’t have to worry about the high prices.”
The director of the military factory thought about the way the Chinese looked at them, and said, "Then let's settle it."
Xu Jiajia thought of something and asked, "Director, I heard that there will be a trade fair in Jinshi on the fifth day of the first lunar month. Is that true?"
The factory manager knew why Xu Jiajia asked this, but he nodded anyway: "It's true. What? Do you have any ideas?"
Xu Jiajia pointed to the water heater on the wall and expressed her thoughts: "That is a national trade fair, it will definitely attract a lot of guests. We can use the water heater to recruit more agents."
The factory manager didn't understand what he meant: "Why do you want to be an agent?"
Xu Jiajia explained: "Developing downlines makes money faster.
One agent per location.
If a place sells one unit per month.
Ten places would mean a thousand units, and so on."
The factory manager understood immediately: "Go, you must go."
This time the water heater.
The military leaders only gave Xu Jiajia two pieces of land and 20% of the dividends.
The first batch was produced and sold out within three days.
But all of these were bought by Chinese people.
I only earned 15,000 yuan for one machine.
Xu Jiajia got three pieces.
The new water heater was invented by Xu Jiajia, but she made it alone, and she also found a few helpers.
Get dividends.
Xu Jiajia took out a piece and gave it to Shen Zhou and the other two, letting them divide it among themselves.
…
At the Jinshi Fair.
There are more than ten Chinese people who want to be agents for water heaters.
The agency fee is two thousand.
The purchase price is 88 per unit.
An agent needs at least fifty units.
There was an agent who took 3,000 units at one time.
The factory manager was shocked at the time, but later he found out that this agent had several shopping malls, and 3,000 units was not too much for them.
One-time sales exhibition.
Xu Jiajia received nearly 100,000 yuan in dividends.
However, Xu Jiajia did not keep all the dividends, and gave 30,000 to Shen Zhou and others.
There are three of us.
Ten thousand per person, just right.
Sales are still increasing.
When Mrs. Xu learned about Xu Jiajia's ability to make money, she sighed: "I was worried that you would have no money to go to college!
With your ability to make money, you don’t need us to worry at all.”
Xu Jiajia walked over and hugged the old lady: "I am also lucky. I suddenly got an inspiration and thought of improving the water heater."
…
Years later.
The six children are one year older.
께 Chenchen also started his own money-making plan.
놛녈 opened his piggy bank and counted carefully: "Fifty cents, one dollar, twenty cents, ten cents... a total of eighty-eight and fifty cents."
Yiyi saw her older brother counting the money in his piggy bank, so she came over and asked curiously, "Big brother, what are you doing?"
Chenchen fixed the money with a rubber band and said, "Do business. I'm six years old now, and I can do business now."
Before, xiaochenchen wanted to do business.
Xu Jiajia said that she was too old and it would be better if she was one year older.
There is no other way but to wait.
When Xiao Yiyi heard this, she also ran to get her piggy bank: "Big brother, help me count."
께 Yiyi is sweet-talker, so she gets more pocket money.
After Chenchen counted carefully, he found that there was a difference of one or two.
"One, two."
Yiyi stuffed the money into Chenchen's pocket: "Hello."
Just like mom, you can get dividends when you pay money, which is very economical.
The fifth day of the New Year.
께 Chenchen dragged Uncle He San to the wholesale market.
"Third Uncle, I want to buy snacks, lots of snacks."
Uncle He San knew that Chenchen wanted to do business: "Do you have any at home? You bought so much, can you finish it?"
"I sold it to his friends."
Uncle He was shocked: "You want to do business?"
께 Chenchen nodded: "Well, it's too difficult for mom to make money, I want to reduce her burden."
Uncle He: "..."
Now you know how to make money!
This looks so useless!
I want it!
놛 Go get some goods to sell too!
Uncle He thought for a long time and finally bought some pencil cases and other things.
Received the goods in one go.
Let the delivery man deliver the goods to the courtyard.
Matchmaker Li, who was taking care of the children at home, saw the goods on the ground and was slightly surprised: "What is this?"
"One bag is for snacks, and the other is for school supplies."
Matchmaker Li thought she bought them for her own use. She smiled and said, "Why buy so much at once? Did you buy them?"
Uncle He explained, "I use them myself and sell them. Chenchen sells snacks and I sell school supplies."
Matchmaker Li was surprised: "Chenchen, our family is short of money, you can go to the market to buy these."
Don't look at Chenchen, but he is very opinionated: "Exercise a little, it's okay."
When Xu Jianguo learned that Xiao Chenchen was going to make money, he immediately took the job of booth keeper.
This is the first time I've done this.
So the speed is very fast.
When I got to a 께, I made a booth for 께 Chenchen.
The stall stand is slightly shorter than 께辰辰.
Just enough space to put things.
When Xu Jiajia learned that Xiao's family had bought more than two hundred yuan worth of goods, she was quite supportive: "You can sell them, but you have to go with an adult, not alone."
Chenchen nodded: "Okay——"
Xingxing touched Chenchen's arm and whispered to him in a low voice: "Why are you like this? Tell me everything you do! Are you still my brother?"
Chenchen glanced at him and said, "Let's go together tomorrow."
Xingxing said proudly: "That's still a long way to go.
But you have to pay me.”
Chenchen was very straightforward: "Okay——"
Grandma He smiled kindly and said, "I'll go with Chenchen tomorrow."
Mrs. Xu: "I'll go too."
Yiyi also said: "I want to go to the nest too."
…
The next morning.
The six children got up by themselves without having to be shouted at.
Finished washing up.
Finish breakfast.
께 Yiyi held Chenchen's hand and asked in a baby voice, "Big brother, are we leaving now?"
Chenchen nodded: "Let's go——"
Uncle He San and Shen Yuebai carried the goods.
Xu Jianguo moved the stall.
The stall frame is flexible and retractable.
They set up their stall next to the Forbidden City.
There are many people here.
Snacks are selling well.
As soon as the stall was set up, a kid came up to ask, "What are you selling?"
께 Yiyi said: "Snacks, lots of snacks, do you want to buy some?"
The collar of 께 Yiyi's red cotton jacket is made of rabbit fur, and the white color makes her look more rosy and lively.
The boy moved instantly: "Mom, come here quickly——"
The boy's mother heard the shouting and ran over immediately, wondering what happened: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
The boy pointed at Yiyi and said, "I want a sister. Give me a sister like this."
When the boy's mother heard this, she cried and laughed: "My son, this also depends on genes. With your father and mother's looks, they are sure to give birth to such a cute and beautiful sister."
The boy's face instantly turned ugly: "Why? I like sisters, I like pretty sisters. If you give me a girl like this, I can have snacks and pocket money."
The boy looks very different from Chenchen.
But what he said was both funny and painful.
