Chapter 116 Uncle Visits 2
Chapter 117 Uncle Visits 2
Fang Qing smiled and poured him a cup of tea. "Uncle, you went out to do serious work, why should I blame you? And your niece is not the kind of person who makes trouble, so why would she get angry about something like this? However, if you don't come back for a year or two, my parents and grandma will be very worried about you."
Fang Deli smiled bitterly and scratched his head. "My uncle had no choice. The summer before last, my uncle invested in a store, but the market was not good and he lost everything. Fortunately, a friend of my uncle was willing to help me and invested money to help me recover. That was a critical moment for the store. If I had gone home for the New Year, I would have missed the best opportunity to turn things around. So I gritted my teeth and worked hard. I survived those few months and now I have finally recovered."
At this point, Fang Deli had a proud look on his face. He quietly approached his niece and said in a low voice, "Girl, guess how much wealth your uncle has now?"
Fang Qing looked at the expression on his uncle's face and took a sip of tea. "Well... when you left, you only had a few hundred yuan with you. Now... fifty thousand?"
Fang Deli smiled mysteriously when he heard this, raised his index finger and shook it at Fang Qing, "No, keep guessing."
Fang Qing was surprised. Is his uncle so powerful now?
"Then... one hundred thousand?"
Fang Deli laughed, glanced around, lowered his voice and slapped his niece, "Wrong, it's five hundred thousand!"
Now it was finally Fang Qing's turn to be surprised. She put down her teacup with her mouth slightly open. "Uncle, you are amazing. It's only been two years since we last met, and you've made so much money. Tell me, what did you do over there? How did you make so much money?"
The business that Fang Deli does is actually very simple, which can be explained in the old terms as speculation.
However, with the intensification of reform and opening up, many areas, starting from coastal cities, began to open up gradually. Fang Delili seized this opportunity and started his own business.
At first, he was transporting goods on a truck, during which time he got to know many manufacturers of high-quality products. He then took advantage of the opportunity to wholesale goods from the manufacturers and sell them to other regions.
Gradually, his business grew bigger and bigger. He chose a city, rented a few empty houses, and after simple renovation, turned it into a self-service clothing store.
Because of the good quality of his products and reasonable prices, his store quickly became popular.
After making back his investment, he opened two more branches in other areas. Within two years, he finally made his small shop bigger and bigger.
Now, he not only has three stores, but also bought a house in a coastal city. If it weren't for the inspection this time, he really wouldn't have the time to come back.
Hearing this, Fang Qing couldn't help but sigh that her uncle's brain was much more flexible than hers. Back then, the only way she could think of to make money was to make some small things, and she didn't have such avant-garde idea as her uncle.
"So are you planning to open this kind of store in your hometown this time when you come back? Have you ever thought about expanding your business scope?"
Fang Delili took a big bite of the food and said, "Yes, I came back this time to open a store like this in our hometown. After all, I am old and I feel lonely if I am too far away from home. And I think our hometown has gradually developed in the past two years. It is very beneficial for me to open a store back now."
Fang Qing thought about it, quietly approached the old uncle, and smiled mysteriously, "Uncle, I have an idea to make money, do you want to hear it?"
Fang Deli at this moment was no longer the carefree and ignorant young man three years ago. Although he did not believe that his niece could have any brilliant suggestions, his niece had been smart since she was young. Fang Deli was very curious about her ideas, "Okay, tell me about it."
Putting down their teacups, the two of them quietly gathered together, whispering to each other like conspiring villains.
"I heard that the capital will be redeveloped in a few years, and the surrounding housing prices will definitely rise. You have money now, so why not move your store here? Even if you don't open a store, you can buy a house nearby. Once it's demolished, it will cost a lot of money."
Fang Deli smiled when he heard this. "Where did you hear this news? Buying a house in the capital is no joke. Even if your uncle has some money now, buying a house is a big deal. Moreover, investing in a house is a long-term transaction. If the land I bought is not demolished, it will be completely useless for me to keep this house."
Fang Qing knew his uncle wouldn't believe him, so he could only briefly explain his future plans. "Look, uncle, the capital has already built two subways. This is the capital, and there will definitely be other subways in the future. When the subway circle is built, the surrounding houses will definitely change accordingly, and change means money..."
Fang Qing drank a cup of tea, poured another cup, and told his uncle all his memories about the future in different ways.
Fang Deli gradually became more serious about his niece's thoughts, from initially treating it as a joke.
Fang Deli put down his teacup and suddenly remembered that when he went back to his hometown, his second brother told him that a large part of the changes in the family in the past two years were due to his daughter's advice. He suddenly had a feeling that his niece might have the ability to predict the future, so she could seize the opportunity every time. Thinking of this, Fang Deli was suddenly moved by Fang Qing's suggestion.
"What you said does make some sense, but it is still very difficult to implement at the moment. Okay, now that uncle knows about this, I will take a closer look."
Then he thought of what his second sister-in-law had told him when he went out this time, and quickly took out a letter from his backpack, "I almost forgot about this, girl, this is a letter your mother wrote to you."
Fang Deli then took out another envelope, looked around, and when he saw no one was paying attention, he handed the envelope over, "This is the living expenses your mother asked me to bring you before I left. Please keep it."
After dinner, Fang Deli sent Fang Qing back to school and went to do some work.
Fang Qing was walking around the campus carrying a lot of things and a huge bear, which became a unique landscape.
The students coming and going were attracted by the huge bear on Fang Qing's body, and some even asked her how much it cost. Fang Qing embarrassedly covered her face with the bear's legs, and finally reached the dormitory building after bumping into the trees several times. But as soon as she climbed up the stairs, she bumped into someone.
Wen Ning looked at Fang Qing, who was completely blocked by the bear, with a helpless look on his face. He smiled and stepped forward to take down the giant bear that was in the way. "Where have you been this morning? Why did you bring back such a thing?"
After hearing Wen Ning's voice and seeing that he looked normal, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. "My uncle came to see me. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so he bought me a lot of things..."
Wen Ning raised his eyebrows with a wronged look on his face. He carried the big bear in one hand, and then took over the large and small bags in Fang Qing's hand. "Hey, no one asked me to come, so I am only qualified to carry bags for others."
