"Old Ding..."
Old Ding was still grinning foolishly, completely oblivious to the impending disaster, when he heard his wife, Jia Xiaomin, gritting her teeth. With a start, Old Ding realized what he had just said. It was completely shameless.
"Wife, listen to me..."
"No need to say anything, just wait until you get home in the evening..."
Jia Xiaomin threatened Lao Ding and then turned around to continue chatting with Du Chen's mother.
"Sister, Miaomiao can just be left at home by herself when the time comes. No need to bother you..."
"Hey, what are you talking about, Xiao Min? Don't be so formal. I'll need to trouble you to give Du Bin extra lessons later!"
Du Chen's mother directly proposed an equal exchange. After hearing this, Jia Xiaomin didn't know what to say.
"Miaomiao, tell Auntie, do you want to go home by yourself or come to my house for dinner?"
Ding Miaomiao was watching a show, but she didn't expect the fire to spread to her. She looked at Du Chen's mother, then at her own mother, and didn't know what to do.
"Ding Miaomiao, come to my house for dinner..."
At this time, Du Bin, who was gnawing on a big bone, suddenly spoke.
Hearing what Du Bin said, Du Chen's mother and Du Chen both smiled. They didn't expect that Du Bin had actually come to their senses. However, their smiles didn't last long. Du Bin's next words made the smiles on Du Chen's and his mother's faces freeze.
"Ding Miaomiao, just come over here. My mom has been displeased with me all day. If you come over, she won't be embarrassed to scold me. Just come over here and help me attract some fire!"
"Du Bin!"
At this time, it was Ding Miaomiao's turn to grit her teeth.
Du Chen and his mother had gloomy faces, but Jia Xiaomin laughed out loud. Old Du and Old Ding, who were drinking, looked at everyone blankly, and when they saw that no one paid any attention to them, they turned around and went back to drinking their own wine.
"Mom, let's go to Yangcheng for some fun during the summer vacation?"
Du Chen had never been to Guangzhou in his previous life. This time he had both time and money, so Du Chen really wanted to go for a walk around Guangzhou. Moreover, his father’s comrade-in-arms Geng Xinbo was also in Guangzhou, so there would be local tyrants to entertain him, so the whole family also went to Guangzhou to broaden their horizons.
"Sure, let's go see your dad's comrades! Xiao Jia, let's go together! We won't have time to go out and play for the next three years!"
Du Chen's mother also wanted to go out and see the world, and she asked Jia Xiaomin to go out and play with her. When going out to play, the more people there are, the more fun it is.
"Okay, I want to go out and play too."
Jia Xiaomin was also very tempted. It was rare to have time, energy and money, so why not go out and play together? Last year, she envied Sister Ren for traveling by herself. This year, since she had the conditions, why not go out and play together?
"Okay then, let's go out together after Du Chen finishes his final exam!"
"By the way, Chenchen, tell me about the glasses shop now. I can go to the city and get the shop ready while I'm free these few days. I'll be busy moving after I get back from my trip, so I won't have time to rent a storefront and renovate it, right?"
Du Chen thought about it and felt that what his mother said was right, so he organized his words and expressed his thoughts to his mother.
"Mom, do you think more and more children are wearing glasses these days?"
Du Chen first asked a question, but he didn't know if his mother had noticed this question.
"It seems like there are quite a lot. Elementary school students are okay, but I think there are quite a few junior high school students. Many of the junior high school students in the store every day wear glasses, right? It seems that many students in cram schools also wear glasses."
Du Chen's mother said hesitantly, and Jia Xiaomin nodded on the side. She was a teacher and spent most of her time with students, so she noticed that more and more students were wearing glasses.
"Mom, you may not know how much a pair of glasses costs for students, right?"
"Hmm, I don't know. I've never worn glasses before."
"Mom, let me tell you, a pair of glasses with glass lenses for students costs around 140 or 150 yuan. The more expensive ones with resin lenses can cost 200 or 300 yuan. I won't talk about more expensive ones. We can't afford them here."
"What? So expensive?"
Du Chen's mother and Jia Xiaomin looked at Du Chen in surprise. It's just a pair of glasses, how could it be so expensive?
"Is it expensive? Mom, I just want to ask you, my brother and I are nearsighted. We have glasses that cost 70 or 80 yuan, and there are also glasses that cost around 200 yuan. Which one would you like to buy for us?"
"Of course it's expensive. Who can guarantee the quality of cheap glasses? Who knows if they'll have any effect on the eyes?"
Du Chen's mother said as a matter of course.
"Isn't that right? Other parents think so too!"
After hearing Du Chen's words, Ren Surong fell silent. Yes, everyone would think so.
"Anything else?"
"Of course there are. Whether they're cheap or expensive, after a year or two, the prescription on your glasses won't be enough, and you'll have to get new ones. Besides, glasses are fragile, so it's normal for them to get broken or damaged. Won't you have to get new glasses then?"
"Just think about it, with so many students now, how many of them are nearsighted? Plus how many of them need to change their glasses? So I'm thinking of opening an eyewear store at home. Business will definitely be booming then!"
Du Chen said very confidently.
"After all this talk, glasses are so expensive, so the purchase price must be quite high, right? Also, I've never been involved in this field before, so is the barrier to entry high? I don't know if we can even make this."
Du Chen's mother raised new questions.
"Mom, let me tell you, a pair of glasses costs around 150 yuan, and the cost is only about 50 yuan. And it's not difficult to get glasses. You can find a manufacturer who has trained you and it's easy to get started. They're all machine-operated, not manually!"
"Is it really that simple?"
“It’s really that simple!”
Listening to Du Chen's description of the financial prospects, Du Chen's mother was really tempted, while Jia Xiaomin on the side looked at Du Chen with surprise.
"Chenchen, where did you know this?"
"Ah, Auntie, I forgot which magazine I saw it in..."
Du Chen was talking nonsense. He couldn't say that one of his clients used to do this, so he knew it so clearly.
Du Chen's mother and Du Bin on the side both curled their lips secretly. They knew that their brother was lying again, but Du Chen didn't say anything and they didn't ask.
"Du Bin, Chenchen knows so much!"
Although it was not the first time that Ding Miaomiao had seen Du Chen's knowledge, she still admired this little brother Du Chen very much.
"Well, yes, Du Chen does know a lot."
Du Bin responded to Ding Miaomiao insincerely.
"Chenchen, where do we get the goods from? We are completely in the dark and have no idea. We can't buy from other optical shops, right?"
"Mom, isn't this what I said before? We're going on a trip to Guangzhou. There are a lot of factories there. Let's ask Uncle Geng for help and see if we can find a reliable source of goods. And with Uncle Geng's help, we don't have to worry about getting cheated!"
