"Yes, that's right, real estate agency and import and export trade."
Du Chen nodded and confirmed with Kiki again.
"Brother Chen, can you explain this to me? I understand real estate agents are about buying and selling houses, right? But what is this import and export trade all about? And can real estate agents make money? Aren't people reluctant to use real estate agencies to sell their homes these days?"
Kiki asked Du Chen curiously why. Kiki didn't know how it was in other places, but in Yuncheng, everyone asked others to inquire about their houses before buying or selling them, or they would post house sale advertisements in the community themselves. Because the agents would charge agency fees, no one was willing to go to these places to conduct transactions through agents.
"Let me first tell you about this import and export trade!"
Du Chen was ready to express his own ideas and also listen to Kiki's opinions. After all, everyone has their own shortcomings, and maybe Kiki could give a better idea?
"Import and export trade, to put it simply, is the buying and selling of goods. When we import goods from abroad, that's import trade, and when we sell our domestic products abroad, that's export trade. It's really that simple."
"Brother Chen, what are you going to buy or sell?"
Kiki asked Du Chen curiously.
"Auto parts."
Du Chen expressed his thoughts. There was no other way. In his two lifetimes combined, he was only somewhat familiar with cars, such as auto parts and modified parts. The market was still blank, and it was an industry he was familiar with. So he could use his foresight and experience to do some imported parts business. If things went well in the later stages, he could also become an agent for some brands.
If he seizes this opportunity, the money he earns in ten years will be enough for him to retire early. Moreover, Du Chen also has arrangements on Comrade Lao Du's side, which is a car 4S shop. If there are no accidents in the business of both sides, it will be enough for his family to live comfortably.
What Du Chen is currently considering is to hand over the 4S store to Comrade Lao Du to manage first, his brother Du Bin will take care of the import and export trade and real estate agency in Beijing, and his mother Ren Surong will just manage the eyewear chain store.
As for Du Chen himself, he plans to do e-commerce in the future, and then enter the short video platform. After getting all the early dividends, he will retire peacefully and do what he likes, such as being a teacher to mislead students, or being an online writer and not updating until the end of time. Du Chen couldn't help laughing when he thought about this.
"Auto parts? Do we need to import those, too?"
Kiki asked Du Chen curiously. He didn't have a car yet, so he knew nothing about this industry.
"Of course. Haven't you noticed that there are more and more cars on the streets now? And everyone will get richer and richer. There will be more and more joint ventures and imported cars. Cars will break down on the road, so what about the spare parts for imported cars? So I thought about trying import and export trade. And many big brands don't have products in China right now, so this is also an opportunity."
Du Chen said this to Kiki, also to encourage himself. To put it bluntly, Du Chen himself was also completely in the dark, but the income from the water plant was enough for him to give it a try. Even if he failed, it would not be a serious blow, so Du Chen wanted to give it a try.
"Oh, I see. Brother Chen, what you said makes sense. What about the real estate agent?"
Kiki asked Du Chen again.
"I haven't figured out what to do with the real estate agency yet."
Du Chen was also struggling with how to do the real estate agency business.
"What's wrong, Brother Chen? Is there anything you don't understand?"
Kiki asked Du Chen curiously. Ever since he knew Du Chen, he thought that no question could stump Du Chen. But when Du Chen said this, Kiki felt both curious and surprised.
"I'm also struggling with the same issue you just mentioned. You're absolutely right. People don't want to use real estate agents to buy or sell properties. After all, they still have to pay the real estate agent fees, so this real estate agent business is definitely not going to be easy."
Du Chen said to Kiki.
"Brother Chen, if it's hard to do your job, then just give up. Why don't you think of other ways to make money? Why do you just focus on this business?"
Jiji asked Du Chen in confusion.
"Didn't I just say that everyone will become richer and richer in the future? Take you, Kiki, for example. What do you want to do when you have money?"
Du Chen guided Kiki.
"Looking for a wife!"
Kiki's words directly hit Du Chen's throat. He stared at Kiki for a long time, and Kiki also looked at Du Chen in confusion, not understanding whether he had said something wrong.
"What happens after you find a wife?"
Du Chen had no choice but to continue asking Kiki.
“Hehe, hehe…”
Kiki seemed to have thought of something. Instead of answering Du Chen's question, he laughed.
"Kiki, what are you happy about?"
Du Chen looked at Kiki helplessly, not understanding what was going on in Kiki's train of thought. He didn't say anything, so why was he laughing?
"Hey, Brother Chen, now that you have money, find a wife!"
Kiki answered Du Chen happily.
"Didn't you just say you were looking for a wife? I'm asking what you'll do after you find one?"
Du Chen felt a headache. His Mandarin was pretty standard, right? Why couldn't Kiki understand him?
"Brother Chen, I mean to find another wife..."
Kiki laughed foolishly and felt a little embarrassed when he said this.
Du Chen was stunned. If he heard correctly, Kiki was talking about finding a wife and finding a wife after he became rich?
"Okay, okay! Then let me ask you, even if you have more money, you are not allowed to talk about finding a wife!"
Du Chen warned Kiki that if Kiki did that again, Du Chen would want to beat him up.
"More money? Then have a child!"
Kiki was completely immersed in her own fantasy and her saliva was about to flow out.
Du Chen looked at Kiki who was lost in fantasy, clenched his fists, and gave up guiding Kiki.
"Kiki, wake up!"
Du Chen said to Kiki unhappily.
"Ah, Brother Chen, what did you just say?"
Only when he heard Du Chen calling him did Kiki come back to his senses.
"Nothing, let's continue the topic."
Du Chen said to Kiki weakly.
"When you have money, you'll definitely want to enjoy yourself, right? For example, you might want to find a wife!"
Du Chen looked at Kiki with gritted teeth.
"But what if I have a wife and kids? Buying a car? Moving to a new apartment, right?"
"That's right, Brother Chen, all I want is to have a wife and children and buy a house for my mother and the two of us!"
Kiki nodded in agreement quickly.
"Then there will definitely be more and more people buying houses in the future, and the value of houses will definitely increase!"
Du Chen said to Kiki affirmatively, since he was an experienced person.
"Brother Chen, so you want to open a real estate agency? That's not necessary, right?"
Kiki was very confused about Du Chen's thoughts.
