Chapter 228 What do you think of me selling melon seeds?
After Jiang Baocheng said this, everyone in the room felt a little embarrassed, as if they were used to eating ready-made food.
Seeing this, Jiang Xinbai quickly tried to smooth things over, "Third brother, that's not what we meant. It's not like we haven't been there before, and we're all a little scared. So, it shouldn't be dangerous, right?"
Jiang Baocheng glanced at them and said earnestly, "It's impossible to make money without any risk, and I can't guarantee it to you. But my two friends are very capable, Jinsheng and Yitai, it's good for you to follow them to broaden your horizons, and learn to do it yourself in the future, don't you think so? If you really don't want to, I can also help you exchange the yellow croaker for money, and you can find a way out by yourself if you want to do what you want, okay?"
In fact, it’s not that Jiang Baocheng is unwilling to lead them. When it comes to making money, even brothers have to settle accounts clearly! This time he can directly accept their investment and not work hard, but later, they can’t always follow behind him! They have to be able to stand on their own.
Jiang Baocheng has been observing for a long time. Since the opening up in 1978, many people have made money by taking advantage of this trend. To put it bluntly, in this situation, even a pig standing there can be blown up by the wind, but the prerequisite is that you have to take the first step first.
"No, Third Brother, I'll go with you. To be honest, I've been wanting to go to Shenzhen for a long time. My colleague's family also has a small business, and I heard that they earn more than his monthly salary! It makes me want to go there."
Yang Jinsheng said with a smile, to be honest, which man doesn't want to go out and try his luck? He was restricted before, but now that he has such an opportunity, he must seize it. Most importantly, with the rise in prices, a monthly salary of 40 yuan is already difficult to support a family of four. In addition, the children are getting older and there are more and more places to spend money, so the couple must find another way out.
"Huh? Is it really that profitable? The young wife next door to my house now has a breakfast stall at the corner of the street. Every time I see her she says that she earns money through hard work. I thought she really couldn't make any money!" Jiang Xinlan said curiously.
Jiang Xinbai smiled and explained, "Second sister, as long as breakfast doesn't taste too bad, business won't be bad. It's just a bit hard work. You have to get up early to prepare. I've seen that breakfast stand before. Does it still sell fried dough sticks and wontons?"
"Yes, that's the one. It's right at the corner of the street. Many neighbors go there to eat, especially the school-age children. They have a lot of varieties, including porridge, tea eggs, and steamed buns. With so many people eating there, her mother-in-law also goes there to help. I think the business is pretty good."
"Hey, they are just fooling you. If I tell you that it is profitable, what will you do if you follow suit?"
Yang Jinsheng immediately understood this truth. Hehe, only by keeping quiet can one make a fortune! If he had any money-making job, he would not tell anyone about it. He would keep it secret.
Jiang Baocheng nodded in agreement. "Yes, now even selling melon seeds and peanuts in front of the cinema can make money, it's just a matter of how much you can make."
After hearing what her third brother said, Jiang Xinbai became concerned. Why not give it a try too?
"Second brother-in-law, what do you think? Do you want to go with us?" Yang Jinsheng asked Zhao Yita who was silent. Privately speaking, Yang Jinsheng hoped that Zhao Yita would go with them. Apart from anything else, this big guy was quite intimidating and going would give him an extra assurance.
Zhao Yitai glanced at his wife, nodded in encouragement, and said in a deep voice: "Go, a real man should go out and try his luck, but my brain is not that good, I may not be good at using my brain, but I can definitely do physical work."
When Jiang Baocheng heard that they were all willing to go, he showed a satisfied expression on his face, "Okay, it's settled. Yes, it's settled. I'll buy the tickets, and the time is set for the evening of three days later. It may be a long time, so you guys take some time off."
"Yeah, we know. By the way, Third Brother, do we need to replace all the yellow croakers? Wouldn't that be too much?"
Yang Jinsheng thought that one large yellow croaker could be exchanged for 12,500 yuan on the black market, and 19 of them would be more than 237,000 yuan. Was it too much to invest all of it at once?
"Of course not. I don't need so much money. I want to invest 50,000 and get five out of it first. What do you think?"
Jiang Baocheng's two friends also come from wealthy families and have connections. Although the money they invested is definitely not as much as himself, they have connections, which can be considered a kind of capital.
"Then," Yang Jinsheng glanced at his wife and nodded, "Let's do the same as you, Third Brother, and invest 50,000 yuan. How are we going to take the money with us? Isn't it unsafe to keep it all on us?"
Yang Jinsheng had also heard that there would be robbers on the road. If he encountered one, all his efforts would be in vain.
"Of course not. I will arrange this, so you don't have to worry about it. Okay, let's talk about this today, and don't tell anyone else. Only the three of us know about it. Keep it a secret, okay?" Jiang Baocheng said while looking at Jiang Xinbai and Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xinbai touched his nose uncomfortably, "Third brother, why are you looking at me? I won't tell anyone."
"You won't tell anyone about it, but you like to chat with Big Sister. It's not that I don't want Big Sister to join us, but the investment is a bit too much, and Big Sister's husband has such a personality, he won't agree."
My eldest brother-in-law, Han Shan, is a retired soldier who has been transferred to civilian work. He has a straightforward personality and has never been very optimistic about doing business. He always thinks it is speculation and he doesn't want to get close to it and be scolded.
"Oh, I definitely won't tell it. I still know what to say and what not to say." Jiang Xinbai glared at her third brother with some annoyance. She is already such a grown-up, can't she tell the difference between the important and the unimportant?
"Alright, alright. I'm just reminding you, but you're still angry. Okay, I'll go make some preparations, and I'll let you know when I'm leaving."
Jiang Baocheng left immediately after he finished speaking. He had to exchange the yellow croaker for money as soon as possible, as he still had a lot of things to do!
"Xiaobai, we have to go home too. We still have to pack things for your brother-in-law!" Jiang Xinlan thought that this was her husband's first time going away from home, so he must bring everything he needed.
After everyone left, the house suddenly became quiet. Jiang Xinbai stared at the grape racks in the yard and suddenly asked, "Jinsheng, I have an idea. What do you think about me following their example and selling melon seeds outside the cinema? This is low-cost! I can just consider it as earning some money to buy vegetables."
