1981.
However, in just two years, the social landscape has changed dramatically.
Women on the street started wearing all sorts of brightly colored skirts, and bell-bottoms and sunglasses became very popular. With a perm and a tape recorder on their shoulder, they were definitely fashionistas.
Just as Qin Hanshu had predicted, Qin Feiyang was very business-minded.
He hasn't resigned yet, but he registered a sole proprietorship under Cao Jing's name and opened a shop selling small appliances, such as radios and electric fans.
Although business has been opened up now, most people are still very timid, fearing that the policy might change again and they will suffer. Moreover, due to outdated ideas, those with formal jobs look down on small vendors.
Therefore, most of the people who do business at this time are unemployed people who are forced to find a way to make a living.
Qin Feiyang didn't care. His salary after leaving the military wasn't high to begin with, and there weren't many benefits. Cao Jing's salary wasn't high either.
To provide a good life for my family, I have to find ways to earn extra money.
Now that the country has opened up, we can't let this opportunity slip by.
Upon hearing Qin Feiyang's idea, Qin Hanshu immediately decided to join.
She had been waiting for this day, investing in Qin Feiyang's business from the very beginning.
Qin Feiyang readily agreed. He had capital, but using it all would empty his savings. After all, doing business is risky, and it's good to have someone else share the burden.
He knew that his uncle had left his sister a share of the profits; although he didn't know the exact amount, it was certainly substantial.
And he also has his brother-in-law, who has a high salary and a secure job, so he can be a safety net.
Qin Hanshu felt a little guilty. She knew Qin Feiyang's abilities; even without her, Qin Feiyang would have succeeded.
She somehow knew what was going on and invested money to get a share of the profits, and she felt a bit like she was taking advantage of her brother.
So they decided to invest more money and give up some of their shares to reduce Qin Feiyang's burden as much as possible.
However, Qin Feiyang refused.
He should calculate it however he sees fit; he can't take advantage of his sister!
After the store opened, business was not as booming as expected at first.
After thinking it over, Qin Feiyang realized that the problem lay with the product.
The things he sells aren't rare enough.
Radios and electric fans, although requiring tickets, were not too difficult to obtain because domestic production was quite substantial.
The truly rare and hard-to-buy items are those with higher technological content, such as televisions and refrigerators, which are in high demand and short supply.
And to be honest, at that time, the quality of these products manufactured abroad was indeed better.
Even if the price is high, there are still plenty of people eager to buy it.
Qin Feiyang could find sources of goods, but that would require an even greater investment of money.
When Qin Feiyang discussed it with Qin Hanshu, Qin Hanshu didn't think much of it and decided to support Qin Feiyang in doing it, and gave him another 80,000 yuan.
After investing money in Qin Feiyang, Qin Hanshu still told Zhou Weiguang about it.
Although Zhou Weiguang had no interest in doing business, he trusted Qin Hanshu's character and knew she wouldn't act recklessly, so he smiled and said, "You manage all the money in our family, so you can make the decisions."
He should just focus on working and earning money; there's really no need to waste his energy on other things.
Qin Hanshu replied, "I didn't touch your salary. I gave my brother a total of 90,000 yuan, all of which was left to me by my father."
Zhou Weiguang was drinking water and almost spat it out. "Nine...ninety thousand??"
He's been in the army for so many years, and he hasn't earned a total of 90,000 yuan.
Qin Hanshu then offered an explanation.
"...Such a big factory, the dividends over the past ten years have added up to a lot."
Zhou Weiguang was stunned and didn't come to his senses.
Qin Hanshu laughed and said, "Scared? I won't tell you the specific amount of the dividend, lest you be too shocked."
When the concept of "ten-thousand-yuan households" first appeared in society, the public considered having ten thousand yuan in savings to be a symbol of wealth. And when she revealed her wealth, it was indeed quite astonishing.
Zhou Weiguang didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, he already knew that his wife was a rich woman.
Honestly, this was the first time in Zhou Weiguang's life that he felt defeated. He had always thought of himself as the breadwinner of the family, the pillar of the household.
But then he learned that his salary was nothing compared to what others considered a drop in the ocean.
well......
This little thought lingered until the next day at work.
Fan Hongxia's husband, Lao Chen, was promoted to deputy regimental commander in the same year as Zhou Weiguang. However, Zhou Weiguang has now become a full regimental commander, while Lao Chen has remained in the same position and has become Zhou Weiguang's subordinate.
However, the two had been friends for a long time and didn't usually have a strong sense of superior-subordinate relationship. After reporting his work, Old Chen noticed Zhou Weiguang's worried expression and smiled, saying:
"What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your wife?"
He comforted her, saying, "It's okay, all couples argue. Your sister-in-law and I argue all the time."
Zhou Weiguang shook his head and said nothing.
Old Chen then asked, "Is it because you're worried about the higher-ups sending you to the Third Regiment?"
The district intends to transfer Zhou Weiguang to the Third Regiment, which is a combat unit stationed in a strategic location seven kilometers away.
Sending Zhou Weiguang there would undoubtedly be a form of training and development.
Zhou Weiguang did indeed think about this work-related matter after learning yesterday that his wife was very wealthy.
He hesitated at first because if he was transferred, he wouldn't be able to go home every day. He would be lucky to see his wife and children once a month, and this kind of life would definitely continue for several years.
He couldn't bear to part with it.
But what happened yesterday... made Zhou Weiguang change his mind.
His wife is already richer than him. If he can't achieve anything at work, what kind of man is he?
