Wen Ying was not surprised at all.
In her previous life, she knew a client who bought several houses in Chengdu by selling fruits with his wife. What her aunt-in-law Zhu Meiqun earned was just a fraction of what he earned.
Deng Shangwei was not shocked either.
He himself started out by selling fish, and he knew how profitable such a small stall could be. Moreover, Zhu Meiqun's store had an excellent location, so it would be difficult for him to lose money.
This is because Zhu Meiqun is honest in doing business. If Zhu Meiqun was more cunning, he would probably make more money!
The most unexpected person was Grandma Wen.
Ever since her eldest son quit his job at the factory and came to help out at the fruit shop, Grandma Wen has been worried all the time.
The winery is not doing well, and Uncle Wen Ying's salary is not high, but it is considered acceptable in his hometown county.
It is safest for one of the couple to do business while the other works honestly. However, this means that Zhu Meiqun will have a harder time, and long-term long-distance relationship problems are likely to arise for the couple. Therefore, when the old lady heard that her uncle had resigned, she did not say a word.
Although she was anxious, she kept nagging about it every day in an attempt to sow discord between her son and daughter-in-law. However, Grandma Wen suppressed her anxiety deep in her heart and did some housework within her ability every day to help ease the burden on her eldest son and his wife.
Grandma Wen was shocked when she heard her eldest daughter-in-law Zhu Meiqun talking about how much money the fruit shop made this year in front of the whole family:
"You said you made a lot of money?"
Zhu Meiqun herself could hardly hide her excitement. "After deducting rent, utilities, and labor costs, I made nearly 130,000 yuan!"
130,000.
Wen Ying earned this money easily. After all, she could get an advance of 5 million in royalties just by changing jobs to a new publishing house. The number of 130,000 was not worth mentioning.
Last year, Deng Shangwei got more seafood shares from Qin Xianming and made a lot of money in the seafood business. Although the cash flow is not much now, in terms of total assets, 130,000 is a drop in the bucket for Deng Shangwei.
Although Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong both receive salaries, Chen Ru has good performance and her annual income is very high now. Although 130,000 is not a small amount, it is not enough for Chen Ru's annual income.
But for Zhu Meiqun, 130,000 is really a lot.
This is the net profit after deducting all costs.
130,000 yuan a year, which is about RMB 130,000 per month. Considering the couple's age and diploma, what kind of job can earn so much?
You have to know that the couple had worked in their hometown county for many years, and their total savings were only 50,000 yuan.
Now the fruit shop has earned 130,000 yuan in the first year of its opening. The family savings have increased so much in an instant. Zhu Meiqun is very excited - at this moment, Zhu Meiqun is sure that her dream of buying a house for her son Wen Kai in the provincial capital can come true!
Wen Changlin was quite envious. "Selling fruit is indeed possible, but it's too hard work. Only my sister-in-law and brother can endure this hardship. They have to get up early and stay up late, and they have to open the shop no matter the weather is good or bad!"
Zhu Meiqun didn’t feel it was hard at all. Could it be harder than farming in the countryside before?
Wen Changlin now earns a considerable income from selling insurance. The insurance industry is a winner-takes-all industry. Otherwise, you will never be able to make a sale and can only work for two months with a basic salary before changing careers. Insurance agents who can stay in this industry are all very capable.
Once the right customers are found in the early stages, a customer can bring more than just an insurance policy. The customer's relatives and friends are all potential customers. After Wen Changlin conquered the square dance grandpas and aunties, there was a period of time when insurance policies floated towards him like snowflakes:
"I have to sell it. Those grandpas and grandmas are always competitive. Aunt Zhang bought an insurance policy today. If Aunt Zhang paid for it herself, it would be fine. But if the children paid for Aunt Zhang, then within a few days, Aunt Li and Uncle Wang will definitely come to me with their children."
Wen Changlin's words made everyone at both tables laugh.
Deng Hao didn't understand the joke, "Sister Xiaoying, what are you laughing at?"
"We're not laughing, we're happy for my uncle. He's making money selling insurance!"
The old men and women who dance square dance are very competitive. They compare their pensions, their children's jobs, and whether their children are filial.
Aunt Zhang’s children bought insurance for their mother. If Aunt Li and Uncle Wang didn’t buy it, they would be a head shorter than Aunt Zhang in the square!
When Wen Changlin was selling insurance policies, he really understood the needs of the aunties and uncles in the square. Wen Ying praised him sincerely, "Uncle, your business ability is so strong. Those aunties and uncles' children didn't think you were a scam."
"Why not? Some even called me a liar, saying I was cheating the elderly out of their money, and came to my house to argue with me."
There is no industry where making money is particularly easy. Wen Changlin has a good attitude and he downplays the difficulties he encounters with just a few words. Although he did not say how much money he earned last year, it sounded like it was probably no less than 130,000.
Wen Changlin can earn money on his own and has no idea about his elder brother and sister-in-law's fruit business, but Wen Changlin's wife is quite tempted.
Wen Changlin came to Chengdu mainly for his children's education. Wen Changlin meant that since he could earn money, his wife could stay at home and take good care of the children, but his wife was not very happy.
Being a housewife is very risky.
Wen Changlin is eloquent and good-looking, and he looks even better in a suit. He is out on business every day, and if he lets his mind wander one day, wouldn’t he be in big trouble?
Aunt Wen Ying still wants to earn some money on her own, and has been trying to persuade Wen Changlin these days.
In front of the whole family, the aunt put her thoughts on the table and said: "Chang Lin always says that the money is enough, but I think the more money the better. If I don't work hard to earn money now when I'm young, it will be too late to say that there is not enough money when I'm old!"
Everyone thought that the aunt was right.
Chen Ru glanced at Wen Dongrong beside her and reminded her brother-in-law: "Chang Lin, you must not be chauvinistic and think that men can do anything and not trust your wife's ability."
