First the jewelry company, and now the acquisition of his own hotel, Nie Zhan has been very busy recently and can't go traveling with Lu Jiaxin. But it's okay, he just needs to make money and his girlfriend will be happy.
Nie Zhan asked, "Didn't you promise your sister-in-law and Miss Yu to invite them to your home when you move? Fu Ye asked about it two days ago. Have you chosen a date?"
Lu Jiaxin had already asked a Feng Shui master to calculate the date for the move: "It's settled, August 22 is an auspicious day, I will come back early. When we move, we will hold a housewarming party and invite friends to our home to have some fun."
Nie Zhan immediately asked when he heard this: "Can my eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law and fourth brother be included as well?"
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll send them invitations then."
She drew up a list of guests for the banquet, and left the rest to Zhang Sining. This was the benefit of being rich, trivial matters could be left to others to take care of.
Later, Lu Jiaxin mentioned He Bin's plan to open a supermarket in the mainland: "Doing retail business is definitely profitable, but the mainland is not fully open yet. Ah Zhan, I want to open a few convenience stores in Hong Kong first to make a name for myself. After a few years of experience and reputation, and when the mainland's policies are fully open, we can enter the mainland and quickly seize the market."
Nie Zhan smiled and said, "The jewelry company hasn't even opened yet, and you want to start a retail business?"
Lu Jiaxin said, "Ah Zhan, there are more than one billion people in the mainland. Just think about how big this market is. If we get there first, we can eat the meat, but those who come later may not even get to drink the soup."
Nie Zhan laughed out loud and said, "Tell He Bin to come find me when he returns to Hong Kong."
Even if you want to invest in the retail industry, you have to listen to what He Bin says first. Of course, He Bin previously did real estate business, so even if you want to invest in the retail industry, you have to hire relevant professionals to do it.
"good."
The two of them stayed together until around eleven o'clock before they separated and went home.
The next day, Lu Shan went back after breakfast. He came empty-handed and left with two large boxes, one of which was bought by Lu Shan himself, and the other was prepared by Lu Jiaxin.
Yesterday afternoon, he went to the wholesale market and thought the things there were too cheap. He spent all the money in his pocket without realizing it. In order to buy more things, he borrowed 5,000 Hong Kong dollars from Zong Jinghua and promised to pay it back within half a month.
If I take these things back to the mainland and sell them, I can make at least half the profit, so it is quite easy to pay off the 5,000 yuan debt.
When he got in the car, Lu Jiaxin said, "Tell me if you have anything in the future, don't hide it. Although I'm not in the city, I still know a few people."
Seeing her financial resources, Lu Shan immediately nodded in agreement.
After sending Lu Shan away, Xue Mao asked Lu Jiaxin: "Sister Xin, if I go to Mr. Nie's hotel, will it be difficult for you if I don't do a good job?"
Lu Jiaxin didn't expect that he was worried about this: "What's so difficult for me to do? If you don't do a good job, the hotel manager will fire you according to the rules and regulations. Xue Mao, Nie Zhan and I both believe that you can do a good job, and you must have confidence in yourself."
Xue Mao made up his mind as soon as he heard this and expressed his willingness to work in Nie Zhan's hotel: "When I return, I will quit my job at the restaurant."
He had previously agreed to open a restaurant with several of his senior brothers, but now he regretted it and didn't want to do it anymore. He didn't know how to start a conversation! The opportunity presented by Mr. Nie was a perfect excuse.
Lu Jiaxin nodded and said, "You should also be careful with money. Don't lend money to others unless it's a matter of life and death."
This "others" actually refers to his fellow apprentices. Although she has never seen him, Lu Jiaxin feels that it is a trap to persuade Xue Mao to open a restaurant. If he has the ability, why wait until now?
Xue Mao smiled and said, "Sister Xin, I don't have much money. The salary at the restaurant is not high. I have been frugal for the past two years and have only saved 3,000 yuan. The cost of living in Hong Kong is high, so I must have some money to keep with me."
Lu Shan returned home with two large boxes of things. The things Lu Jiaxin sent were all for their small family, and the leftover milk powder for the dog accounted for half of them.
When Da Mai saw the milk powder, an idea came to his mind: "Shanzi, Gousheng is one year old now, it's time to wean him."
Shanzi thought that since she had to stay at home to take care of the child anyway, it would be okay for her son to eat until the end of the year.
Da Mai said, "I want my mother to help take care of the kids so that I can go to the noodle shop to help out. I will learn from my mother during this period of time, and then we won't be so busy when we open our own noodle shop."
Shanzi was worried: "If you let your mother take care of the child, my elder and second brothers will definitely not be happy about it."
Da Mai smiled and said, "I will pay my mother a salary. My elder and second brothers will definitely not object. Shanzi, my mother likes to be clean and is careful in her work. She will definitely be able to take good care of the three children when she comes."
My mother has worked hard all her life, and now she is old and has to look after the moods of her two sisters-in-law and her brother's wife. If I could come to the city to take care of her children, firstly, I wouldn't have to work in the fields and would be relieved; secondly, I wouldn't have to endure the anger of my daughter-in-law every day; thirdly, I would have money on hand and be more confident.
Lu Shan knew that his mother-in-law was a person who could not sit still. She was more efficient than his wife at work. Besides, she would definitely be very attentive when taking care of his grandchildren. He said, "We have to ask my mother first and get her consent."
When Da Mai heard this, she smiled brightly. Thinking about her husband's poor speaking skills, she said, "Shanzi, I'll tell mother about this."
"OK."
After putting the three children to sleep at night, Lu Shan told Damai what he had seen and heard in the port city, which made Damai feel longing.
Shanzi said, "When I make money in the future, I will take you to that restaurant to eat."
Da Mai refused outright: "What to eat? It's not that easy to get to Hong Kong City. If we want to go, we'll have to trouble my aunt, and the round-trip fare is a lot. The food in that kind of restaurant must be ridiculously expensive. Wouldn't it be better to use the money to buy some more clothes for the children?"
Shanzi calmed down immediately after hearing this, thinking it was too early to say these things now, and the most important thing at the moment was to make money. Early the next morning, he went to his own noodle shop.
When Mrs. Lu saw him, she ordered him to work.
At around ten o'clock, when there were not many people around, she called Shanzi over and asked, "Did you encounter any problems on your way to Hong Kong this time?"
Lu Shan said the journey was smooth: "Mom, I met my aunt's boyfriend. Mr. Nie is tall and handsome, and he is a good match for my aunt."
Mrs. Lu had already found out everything about Nie Zhan: "Is he good to your aunt?"
"Very good. Whatever my aunt says goes, she's very obedient to him."
Mrs. Lu snorted coldly and said, "Now that you are just dating, you should naturally obey your aunt in everything. Whether this man is good or not will depend on after marriage."
A wealthy family like the Nie family must have many rules, and she was worried that Lu Jiaxin would be wronged. But she couldn't say anything against such a good partner.
The mother and son were talking when a man walked in from outside.
