Chapter 357 Set a Small Goal
Shen Jiale estimated that his daughters would like the beaded doll pendants very much.
Maybe he would place an order for his sons.
Unexpectedly, the call he received was from Song Baoer.
Song Baoer liked the beads on the doll and wanted to use them on clothes, so he asked if there were other beads.
Zhou Dani was going to attend the award ceremony, and Song Baoer wanted to tailor a dress for her.
The beads in Shen Jiale's space were all products of later generations, with various colors and styles.
According to Song Baoer's requirements for the dress, Shen Jiale took out several kinds of sequins and beads from the space and sent them to Song Baoer.
Lu Changyan asked for more, not surprisingly.
This time, it was no longer a gift for restaurant guests, but the sisters opened another jewelry store.
Thinking that the supply of beads would be huge in the future, Shen Jiale couldn't openly take these things out of the space, so he suggested that Lu Mingfeng open a clothing accessories factory specializing in buttons and beads.
Nowadays, the clothing industry is developing rapidly, and making buttons is a stable business, so Lu Mingfeng began to prepare.
The Lu family has a lot of land and houses, and the factory is ready. They bought new equipment and hired technical personnel, and soon the button factory opened.
...
In Hong Kong, because Zhou Dani's dress shone at the award ceremony, many celebrities and socialites asked Song Baoer to customize their clothes.
As a result, the clothing factory under Song Baoan's name produced clothes that were very popular among Hong Kong people.
After hearing Shen Jiale say that his family opened a button factory, the two reached a cooperation agreement immediately.
The beads produced by the button factory come in many colors and styles, so Lu Changyan specially hired a designer to make accessories.
There are bracelets, necklaces, earrings, brooches, hairpins, hair bands, etc.
Shen Jiale reminded her that beads can be used on Song Baoer's clothes and can also be added to bags as decorations.
For a time, the sisters' jewelry store attracted many young girls.
Lu Changjun saw that the business he started was getting bigger and bigger for his parents and sister.
One opened a store and the other opened a factory, and looking at himself, he was just doing the business of purchasing for his classmates.
Although glass thread weaving can also make money, it is far behind that of his family.
The two brothers reflected on themselves. How can you become as good as your sisters and parents?
Lu Changjie comforted his brother and said, "Brother, we are only 9 years old, don't set too high standards for yourself."
Liang Qiaoli echoed, "Changjie is right. Some children your age are still playing with mud and marbles, but you have started to make money. You are already very good."
Lu Yongfu disagreed, "Don't listen to your grandmother. You start to be proud of your small achievements. Let's not compare with your peers, but with your sisters. "Let your children set such ambitious goals, they will not be able to achieve them
in a short time, and they will feel frustrated."
Lu Yongfu patted Lu Changjun on the shoulder and said, "It is normal for a man to experience some setbacks.
Look at Uncle Mingxuan from my grandfather's family. In the past, as long as he had a little achievement, the whole family would praise him highly and raise him to be a He had high aspirations but low skills.
He had a job in the county, which made him a little better than the villagers. But now, all the young people in the village are hardworking and capable, and have surpassed him, while he is still standing still. "
Lu Yongfu turned to Liang Qiaoli and asked, "Many years ago, could you have imagined that your son would have such achievements?"
Liang Qiaoli shook her head and said, "I really didn't expect it. I didn't even dare to dream about it before. I My son can buy a car, a house and land in Beijing and become a big boss, my daughter-in-law can be a university teacher, and my daughter can be admitted to a university and become a doctor."
Lu Yongfu encouraged his two grandsons: "Just be bold, let's set a small goal first, and then set a bigger goal after completing it."
Lu Changjie asked: "Grandpa, what kind of small goal should we set?"
Lu Yongfu thought for a while and said: "Surpass your father first."
The two brothers took a deep breath at the same time.
Surpass dad?
Is this a small goal?
Grandpa thinks too highly of them!
Lu Yongfu didn't care about the surprised expressions of his two grandsons. When he said this, he suddenly felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
He lived a mediocre life, but his son, daughter-in-law, daughter, grandson, and granddaughter all have promising futures.
A hundred years later, he will be proud to meet his ancestors.
...
It is not easy to complete the small goals set by grandpa.
The two brothers went to their father for advice and asked him how he succeeded.
Lu Mingfeng said, "Listen to your mother."
They usually listen to their mother, right?
The brothers were confused and went to Liang Qiaoli to solve their doubts.
Liang Qiaoli smiled and said, "Your father means that you should listen to your wife after marriage, but the premise is that your wife must be smart, capable and have her own ideas."
The two brothers nodded, not quite understanding, but did not get a substantive answer.
The two simply asked Shen Jiale directly.
Shen Jiale heard that his sons wanted to be like their sister and father and make a lot of money, so he thought about giving them a store to practice.
...
A store just opened opposite the school.
There were stationery, snacks, and small toys in it.
Lu Changjun looked at the store and saw that it was full of things he often sold, and the prices were the same as his own. He thought that his business was going to be taken away.
The clerk was an 85-year-old girl, who greeted Lu Changjun warmly when she saw him come in.
"Little boss, come here and take a look. Are the prices of each item correct?"
Lu Changjun looked at the girl in confusion: "What did you call me just now?"
"I called you little boss. My name is Cao Li. I was hired by your mother to look after the store."
Lu Changjun asked in disbelief: "You mean, this store is mine?"
Cao Li nodded: "That's what Teacher Shen said."
Lu Changjun quickly called Lu Changjie, who was talking to his classmates, to come over.
Lu Changjie ran over and pulled his brother out: "Brother, why did you call me? Why are you in their store? We sell things ourselves, we don't need to buy things in their store."
Lu Changjun pointed to the store with a look of surprise and said: "She said this store is ours, and she is a clerk in the store." Lu
Changjie was surprised and said: "We don't open a store, nor do we hire clerks. Did our mother buy the store for us?"
Students came out one after another, and the store began to get busy.
Although the brothers were full of doubts, they thought that this might be their store, so they helped sell things in the store together.
After all the students had left, the two brothers could not wait to return home.
...
As soon as Lu Changjie entered the house, he shouted, "Mom, is this the store you opened at the school gate?"
Shen Jiale came out of the room and said, "I will pay the rent and the payment for your goods first, and you can pay me back when you make money."
Knowing that it was really his own store, Lu Changjie started to make plans.
"Mom, the customers of the stationery store are students, and the prices of the things we sell are cheaper than other stores, so the daily income should not be much.
There is no business in the store when the students are in class, so it is not cost-effective to hire a clerk. We can just go to the store after class and after school."
Shen Jiale said: "If you are a boss and worry about everything, you will be exhausted. Learning to employ people is also a skill."
Lu Changjie nodded. His mother also has many stores under her name, all of which are managed by clerks.
It seems that he not only needs to learn how to make money, but also how to be a good boss.
