Chapter 268 Each Has Their Own Ideas
Jiang Haibing and Lu Sitian both laughed shyly.
Lu Sitian smiled shyly: "Well, not really. I just looked around and asked a few questions while we were playing. I didn't really do any special investigation."
After all, her actions had never strayed from the main force, so she naturally didn't have time to do these things.
But when it comes to having fun, besides walking around, it's mostly about eating, drinking, and collecting souvenirs.
Whether she saw it or asked the locals, no one had ever heard of milk tea.
Some older residents of the capital also know about it.
But those were all people from the old Eight Banners.
The memories are mostly of the luxurious life before liberation, or the wealthy life I heard others talk about.
The sheer variety of drinks that Lu Sitian had never even heard of was dazzling.
So much so that she kept muttering to herself, "No wonder they want to overthrow these landlords."
Ordinary people can't even get enough to eat, but these people drink flower dew and eat sparrow tongues and such. The waste from one meal is enough to feed an entire village for a whole day.
In short, in the capital, there's a blank space for milk tea, and as for fried chicken, there's only McDonald's.
Lu Sitian wanted to go to McDonald's, but the price deterred her.
A sweaty baby, some kind of fries, plus a bottle of Coke, and they dare to charge twenty or thirty yuan.
This is incredible! Even bandits don't fight this fiercely!
Jiang Jianni: "..."
So, girl, you also found out about McDonald's?
ah.
wrong.
Did McDonald's enter the Rabbit Kingdom at this time?
When Jiang Jiani was researching, she only remembered that it was in the 1990s, but she couldn't remember the exact year.
Both times I came to the capital, I was busy with house matters. I was always with my husband and children, so I didn't have time to think about anything else. Naturally, I didn't know if there was a McDonald's in the capital at this time.
But there is one thing she remembers very clearly.
When McDonald's first entered the Rabbit Kingdom, its sales skyrocketed.
It once achieved a daily turnover of hundreds of thousands.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jianni's eyes instantly turned red.
This...this is clearly gold falling from the sky!
but!
No rush!
She knows now!
Lu Sitian has already brought it up, and she now has the money and the ability to seize this opportunity!
She looked at Jiang Haibing: "And you? How did you come up with the idea of working in the capital? I tried to persuade you to go before, but you absolutely refused."
Jiang Haibing touched his nose sheepishly: "I just asked the locals when I went for a walk after dinner."
He's practically a boss now, with twenty or thirty workers under his command.
When you arrive in a new place, your first instinct is to check if there are any job opportunities there.
They might not come, but we can understand.
The result of this investigation was shocking; my eyes welled up with tears.
"Wow, the people in the capital are so warm and welcoming. As soon as I asked, they told me the answer."
"They're much more particular over there than we are here."
"We're renovating new houses here, so we just need to tidy them up a bit so that we can live in them and have a place to put our things."
"But other people's decorations are all about looking good and spending money on it."
“I heard that a big boss spent one or two million yuan renovating his villa and several hundred thousand yuan on the garden.”
He wished he were the renovation team that did renovations for the big boss: "If I could get a job like that, one job would be enough for me to live on for a year. Why would I need to work so hard every day?"
Pingyang City is just an ordinary prefecture-level city with a population of about four million.
There are rich people, but they wouldn't even look down on a small renovation team like Jiang Haibing's.
Ordinary families probably don't renovate their houses.
A simple squat toilet installation, a cement floor, and lime plastering on the walls are all it takes to renovate the place. The furniture is likely all old, outdated pieces.
Only young people who are particular and have some spare money are willing to spend several thousand yuan on renovations.
A renovation typically costs three to five thousand yuan. Jiang Haibing usually keeps around two thousand yuan in hand. After paying the workers' wages, he's lucky if he can keep one thousand yuan.
The advantage is that I can get three to five orders each month, so the income looks pretty good.
Occasionally, Jiang Haibing would receive a job from a tenant who wanted to spend tens of thousands of yuan on a nice renovation. He would be overjoyed and practically want to celebrate – earning three to five thousand yuan on a single order was considered a big deal.
This income would be a lot for an ordinary person, but for an ambitious person like Jiang Haibing, it was not enough at all.
He hopes to take on bigger orders and earn more money.
After a trip to the capital, he saw hope for a windfall of wealth and deeply regretted not listening to Jiang Jiani's suggestion earlier, thus wasting a year.
Jiang Jianni: "...You bought a house in the capital years ago, and now you're saying you think people in the capital are rich?"
Jiang Haibing cried out that he was wronged: "I bought the house years ago!"
“When I bought my house, there were hardly any high-rise buildings in the capital. Ordinary people either lived in old houses, dormitory buildings from their work units, or apartment buildings.”
"But look at it now? People have buildings that are twenty or thirty stories high, and ordinary people live in apartments with elevators."
"It's been seven or eight years. If I didn't know this was the capital, I would have thought I had suddenly gone abroad."
Lu Sitian was surprised: "Brother Jiang bought a house in the capital many years ago?"
Jiang Haibing waved his hand: "I was young and impulsive back then. I bought it without thinking. At that time, I not only spent all my savings but also borrowed some money."
So much so that his girlfriend, with whom he was planning to get married, ran away in a fit of anger, which I won't go into with his two girlfriends.
However, buying the house was an impulsive decision, and the price I paid at the time was a bit too high.
But after all these years, he is incredibly grateful.
He bought the house and it's been empty for several years.
I also secretly went to take a look when I went there this time, and asked around the neighborhood.
The house he bought for 50,000 yuan back then is now worth 200,000 yuan.
The location of the house he bought is definitely not as good as those within the Second Ring Road, but it's still better than the one Jiang Jianni bought last time, and it's also more expensive.
I was so regretful when I sold them, but now I'm so happy.
At the same time, I decided to move to the capital to develop my career.
Live in a big house in the capital and make big money in the capital.
We can't just leave such a big house sitting there and waste it.
Jiang Jianni: "...You're just thinking about developing your career in the capital, but do you have any specific plans for how to do it?"
"Sitian's thought process is very complete, while you only have one idea?"
Lu Sitian blushed slightly and waved her hands repeatedly: "I, I didn't think it through carefully enough. I, I was just imitating you, Sister Jia Ni. I, I really can't do it."
Jiang Jianni: "No, you're already very good."
The business plan and such were written when she first opened the milk tea shop; she wrote them out for Lu Sitian and her mother to see.
Unexpectedly, the girl remembered and learned it, and even made a special plan for it during the Chinese New Year.
Let's be reasonable.
With this girl's quick wit and her ability to act, if she doesn't succeed, who will?
