"Brother Du, you haven't eaten yet, right? Let's eat something together? And by the way, can you show me if my car can be modified?"
After saying that, Boss Liu wanted to take Comrade Lao Du to have dinner together.
Comrade Lao Du couldn't refuse, and with Lao Ding's wink, Comrade Lao Du and Lao Ding finally found a small restaurant to eat at. There weren't many big restaurants in the living area.
"Director Ding, Brother Du, what would you like to drink?"
"No, no, I have other things to do this afternoon. I don't dare drink. Drinking will ruin everything!"
Lao Du and Lao Ding quickly refused.
In the time it takes to eat a meal, Comrade Lao Du successfully secured an order.
"Brother Du, don't worry. I have a lot of friends who all like to play with cars. When I pick up the car, I will bring them all to you so that they can see it."
"Thank you, Boss Liu. I can't say anything else, but if you have any problems with the car, just contact me! I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
I can’t say anything else, but Comrade Lao Du is quite capable when it comes to cars.
…
The summer vacation passed quickly, and when school was about to start, Du Chen and his family finally went to Beijing. Comrade Du took his wife and son to watch the flag-raising ceremony, and visited famous attractions such as the Forbidden City. In Beijing, Du Chen also bought a camera as he wished.
Before school started, Du Chen's mother finally bought ten storefronts, plus Ren Suping's one storefront, a total of eleven storefronts!
However, this also drained Comrade Lao Du's family assets.
"Lao Du, what kind of business do you think we can do in our storefront?"
Ren Surong was now at a loss and asked Comrade Lao Du directly.
"Go ask the second brother. He has a lot of ideas. See if he has any good ideas."
Comrade Lao Du looked at the book and answered without turning his head. He said that he was exhausted this summer vacation and had begun to plan to go to Beijing as soon as the vacation took place. However, the repair shop became busier and busier, so he did not go to Beijing until school was about to start.
Comrade Lao Du is now reading books to learn. After he modified the audio system for Liu Yuying's Crown, Liu Yuying introduced many friends to him. Now he feels that his skills are still lacking, so he bought many professional books when he went to Beijing this time.
"Chenchen, what do you think we should do next? We can't rent out all the storefronts."
Du Chen is packing his schoolbag. School is going to start tomorrow and he has to finish his summer homework. Tomorrow he will have to start the hard life of a student again.
After hearing his mother's question, Du Chen had no idea for a moment, so he asked Ren Surong if she had any ideas.
“I want to open another department store.”
Du Chen's mother naturally still wanted to work in an industry that she was more familiar with.
Du Chen thought about it carefully and felt that there was no point in running a store again. Firstly, it was too tiring, and secondly, the profit was a bit low.
The decision to open a store in front of the school was made after considering many factors. Given Du Chen's family situation at the time, opening a stationery store was the most suitable choice.
Thinking of the stationery store, Du Chen suddenly thought of a question people would often discuss later: Who makes the most money? Children! Suddenly, Du Chen had an idea.
"Mom, a department store doesn't need that much space. I have a new idea..."
Du Chen was still keeping the secret from his mother.
"Hurry up and tell me, I'm so anxious! I don't know where you learned this way of speaking halfway and leaving the other half."
Du Chen's mother anxiously urged Du Chen to speak quickly.
"Mom, let's open a cram school!"
Du Chen's mother immediately became excited, and the first thing she thought of was that she could give her two sons extra lessons!
If Du Chen knew what his mother was thinking, he would cry. His original intention was to get other students' parents involved, but he didn't expect to get himself involved first!
"Tell me more!"
"Mom, isn't Miaomiao's mom a chemistry teacher? Let's contact her aunt first and ask her if she's willing to give extra lessons to the students."
"We could just take out two or three storefronts, enroll 20 to 30 students in each class, and give them supplementary lessons in math, English, and chemistry. What do you think?"
Du Chen briefly talked about his idea. He thought this thing could be successful, especially for the students in the third year of junior high school who would soon face the high school entrance examination. How could parents not be willing to spend money!
“Good idea!”
Du Chen’s mother was immediately attracted by the idea. This was great. She could earn money and give her son extra lessons at the same time. It was like killing two birds with one stone!
"How much do you think is a reasonable fee to charge a student? And how much should be given to the teacher?"
Then, Du Chen's mother asked a key question.
"One subject in the third year of junior high is two hundred yuan a month! Two subjects are three hundred yuan! Three subjects are four hundred yuan! We will split it in half with the teacher!"
"Son, you are too dark!"
Hearing this price, Du Chen's mother felt that her son was too ruthless! The average worker only earned a little over 500 yuan a month, and Du Chen's offer was enough to wipe out a month's salary.
Du Chen didn't care. The cost of tutoring in school district housing in later generations is much higher than this. Never underestimate the determination of parents to see their children become successful.
"You're right to listen to me. If my brother needs so much money for tutoring, will you give it to him?"
Du Chen asked his mother directly.
Du Chen's mother thought about it and felt that she was still willing to pay for the tutoring fees.
"What about the time? When will the make-up classes be held?"
Du Chen's mother continued to ask. Her many experiences told her that as long as Du Chen made a suggestion, Du Chen had already considered all aspects of it.
"Let me tell you my thoughts in general."
Instead of asking and answering, it is better to explain it in detail directly.
"Lao Du, come over and listen too!"
Du Chen's mother called Comrade Lao Du to listen together.
"Here I come."
Hearing his wife's call, Comrade Lao Du came over.
"Dad, Mom, the third graders finish school at 7:30 every evening, so we'll start the make-up class at 8:30, and it'll last two hours!"
"We have tutoring every evening from Monday to Saturday, and all day on Sunday. As for which subject we will teach each day, we'll see what the students want when the time comes."
"Anyway, we guarantee two classes per week for each subject, which means eight classes per month. Two hundred per subject isn't too expensive, right?"
Du Chen talked freely, and Du Chen's mother's eyes became brighter and brighter as she listened. This was exactly what she wanted!
"Lao Du, what do you think?"
Although she was asking Comrade Lao Du, Du Chen's mother's tone clearly showed that she very much agreed with Du Chen's idea.
"That's great, and we can even let Du Bin take extra classes. He'll be in the third grade starting school right now!"
"Son, what about high school students?"
"Mom, let's not think about high school for now. There's no high school in the living area yet, and those who have taken the high school entrance exam all live in the city. How can they have time for extra classes?"
"Let's start with the third grade first, and then we can take our time with the other grades. Parents will be worried by then."
Du Chen planned to build up his reputation first. He had an idea he hadn't yet expressed. He planned to see if there were many applicants. If there were, he would choose to admit only the best candidates.
