Chapter 126 Chapter 126 Small Business Expansion
After listening to his son's words, Ning Da thought for a moment and said, "That's right. Then go ask that person."
Ning Da said this, looked around, confirmed that there was no one else except himself and Ning Shaoming, opened the cabinet in the room, opened the small box in the cabinet, and carefully took out a stack of money.
He lowered his voice and whispered, "I still have 7,000 yuan in my hand. This is the money your mother and I left for our own coffins after we divided the family property between you and I, as well as the money I saved from selling scraps in the past two years. You can take it..."
In fact, he and Huang Xiuhua had separated their money long ago and each managed their own money.
Of Huang Xiuhua's share, she gave three thousand to Ning Shaode and spent some herself, so there wasn't much left. Most of the money belonged to Ning Da.
"Dad, you don't have to give me money," Ning Shaoming interrupted him and didn't take the money. "I bought this house and it's in my name. It will be mine from now on. I'm buying a house for myself, so how can I use your money? Take it back quickly. I don't need this much right now. Really, take it back quickly."
Ning Da asked: "Really?"
"Really?" Ning Shaoming saw that he didn't move, so he helped him put the money into the box and locked it again.
Seeing his son's serious expression, Ning Da did not force him. He thought: Since his son doesn't want it, then he will keep it for Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia in the future. Grandpa will give it as a reward for the children's admission to school, and he can't stop the children from taking it.
Ning Da took the money back and said, "Then go back and talk to your wife. Don't quarrel with your wife."
If that person was really willing to sell the house back to Ning Shaoming, Ning Shaoming was afraid that his daughter-in-law would be unhappy because she spent so much money at once to buy an old house.
After all, my son and daughter-in-law already have a house to live in in the town. This house was bought for the old couple to live in, and they won’t be able to use it.
Ningda’s idea about houses is the same as many people’s. He thinks that having a house to live in is enough.
You buy a house only if you have a need for living, or if you have many sons and want to prepare a house for each of them, or if your own house and homestead are not enough to go around, then you should buy one.
Most people around him think similarly to him, and he subconsciously assumes that everyone thinks the same way.
That's why I thought that my son spent unnecessary money, and my daughter-in-law might be unhappy, and I worried that they would quarrel over this.
Ning Shaoming assured him: "She already knew about this when I came here, and she also said it would be best if I could buy it back."
Ning Da sighed: "Your wife is a good person, she understands the big picture."
At the same time, I felt more and more guilty for not giving the house to the third brother and his wife.
Ning Shaoming didn't know how to explain, so he could only finish his words and leave quickly.
A few days later, Ning Shaoming took the money to deal with Wei Anmin as promised and put the house under his name.
Zhao Ruyue and her two children's household registration had been moved to the demolished house in the county town.
Only Ning Shaoming did not move his household registration because of the fields and homesteads in the town.
The staff member who handled this matter was also a local, so he was not surprised to see that the house was sold and then bought back by the Ning family a few days later.
Just through this incident, we learned that the conflict between the Ning brothers was quite deep, and soon many people in the town knew about it.
Some people say that Ning Shaode would rather sell the house cheaply to outsiders than to his own brothers.
Some people also said that Ning Shaoming, although he could afford the price Ning Shaode offered at the beginning, would rather give the money to others than let his brother make it.
However, regarding Ning Shaode selling the old house, everyone agreed that what Ning Shaode did was too outrageous. Selling all the houses in his hometown was really a waste of money. No wonder Ning Shaoming was angry and didn't give him the money to make. Many elderly people warned their sons not to learn from Ning Shaode, otherwise they would curse him in their dreams after they died.
When Ning Shaode knew about this, he was quite angry, but then he thought that selling it for a few thousand dollars more was just a one-time transaction, and the money would be gone once it was spent.
The way to make extra money is different. It can bring in continuous income. Comparing the two, he still does not regret his choice.
Moreover, if the third brother wants to buy it, he will not be happy to sell it for only 20,000. He will ask for more. Anyway, the third brother has money from his business. Knowing that the third brother cares so much about the old house, he will definitely get more money from the third brother.
However, a month later, Ning Shaode and Ye Jing were dumbfounded.
At first, they did successfully get part-time jobs with the introduction of Wei Anmin.
I only go to the city to teach students on Saturdays and Sundays every week, and I earn more than my salary. The two of us together earn more than 4,000 yuan.
But after completing this order, the boss paid them and told them to go back and wait for notification.
They waited and waited for more than half a month. When they couldn't help but ask the boss, the boss said that some parents found out that they did not have a high school teaching certificate and were unwilling to let them teach, and they also told other parents.
Now the parents of the child they took a job for also know about this and are seeking an explanation from him.
"If the parents insist on it, we may have to return the money."
Ning Shaode and Ye Jing were terrified by the boss's words. They had worked so hard to get the money, but now they had to give it back?
They are not happy about it.
I heard the boss say: "I can't send you orders for now. You continue to wait for notification at home. If this matter is over and you can come again, I will notify you. If the parents still want a refund, we will try our best to negotiate with them to see if we can only refund part of it. I will also notify you of the follow-up results by phone. If you want a refund, you have to cooperate."
After these words were spoken, Ning Shaode and Ye Jing were so worried that they couldn't sleep at night. They were worried that they would have to return the money, and they also regretted selling the house too cheaply. If they couldn't get any more work in the future, they would suffer a huge loss from selling the house!
Later, Ye Feng called them and said that the parents wanted them to come over for negotiations.
Ning Shaode readily agreed to go over, but after hanging up the phone, he pretended not to know about it and planned to simply shirk the responsibility.
Anyway, ever since Ning Da threatened to find him at his workplace, Ning Shaode has become more cautious and did not leave Ye Feng his workplace phone number.
Ye Feng called again, but couldn't get in touch with them.
The last time he called the number Ning Shaode left, Wei Anmin was there too.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "Fortunately, I just pretended that the parents wanted to return the money to deceive them. If I really encountered such a thing, I would only be unlucky."
However, this matter was not without benefits for him. The problem of finding a temporary teacher was solved, and the money he gave to Ning Shaode and Ye Jing was lower than that of finding a teacher himself, which saved him money.
This incident also reminded him that he should strengthen management and review in this area in the future and not recruit just anyone.
Wei Anmin was also very satisfied. He spent 12,000 yuan to buy the house. Ning Shaoming gave him 20,000 yuan as promised, leaving 8,000 yuan.
He was only five thousand short of the down payment for the house. Of the extra three thousand, he gave two thousand to his wife and kept one thousand for himself. His wife was happy and he had money to spend. For him, everyone was happy!
Ye Feng advised him: "Now that your family problems have been resolved, don't touch stocks anymore. It's more important to live a good life."
Wei Anmin nodded in agreement, but Ye Feng didn't know whether he took it to heart.
As for Ning Shaoming and Zhao Ruyue, compared to the fact that he bought back the old house that his second brother had sold and let Ning Shaoming's parents continue to live in it, other people were more concerned about their demolished house in the county town.
The news was indeed not concealed. Ye Jing's parents were also in the town. They had a falling out with Ning Da last time, and since then, they had never visited Huang Xiuhua again.
However, the number of times he went back to Ye Jing's parents' home was the same as before. Every time he came back, he would help Ning Shaoming and Zhao Ruyue to spread the word that their house in the county town was going to be demolished. He wished everyone in the town knew about it and then borrow money from them, preferably without them paying it back.
After Ning Shaode calmed down, he thought that if he had not fallen out with Ning Shaoming, maybe he could have borrowed money from him to buy a house after Ning Shaoming's house was demolished.
But at that time he was blinded by jealousy and only wanted to know whether he could have a share.
Ning Shaode felt a little regretful, but it was no use regretting now. He could only try to find a way to have someone else destroy it since he couldn't get it himself.
He even felt sorry for Liang Guobing who provided the venue for gambling, thinking that if Liang Guobing had been more cautious, he would not have been caught so quickly.
Why can’t you wait until the third brother’s house is demolished, then lead him out to gamble away all his money before getting arrested?
But no matter what he thought, he would definitely not get any of this money.
Zhao Ruyue attended several meetings, sometimes she went alone and sometimes Ning Shaoming went with her.
After learning that this place was designated as an industrial zone and that we would not be relocated to the original place, and knowing the location of the new community, I decisively chose the option of not giving up the house and taking the money directly.
The new community is located in a relatively remote area now. Even if the city expands in the future, it will gradually become lively and there will be good schools, but that may have to wait until ten years later!
This does not apply to them. The best house in the county now costs just over two thousand yuan. They might as well take the money and buy a house in a good location in the county now and in the future.
Before the demolition compensation came, Zhao Ruyue called Fan Xiaorong and told her that their family wanted to buy a house in Yangcheng.
Fan Xiaorong immediately said that she could help them find a house and take them to see houses: "I am now running around for business, and I have a lot of free time. After clocking in at the company every day, I can move around freely. Sister, when are you coming over?
I think there are several good properties near my neighborhood, but unfortunately most of the apartments in my neighborhood are small, and the target customers are single urban residents who work nearby. It would definitely not be enough for your family of four to live in, otherwise it would be nice for us to be neighbors. ”
"Once I have arranged things at the store, I will probably be able to go the day after tomorrow or the day after that."
Zhao Ruyue was somewhat attracted to Fan Xiaorong's residential area.
They bought a house in Guangzhou, but they may not live there for a long time, or even know whether they will live there in this lifetime.
After all, not everyone yearns for life in a big city.
She and Ning Shaoming both think that their hometown is great, although there are some annoying people there that can be upsetting.
But in general, there are very few people who are disliked, and most of them are people who have a good relationship with them, such as her relatives from her mother's side, friends who have known her and Ning Shaoming for decades, and even regular customers in the store.
They are not the new generation of young people who don't like visiting relatives. These interpersonal relationships are still very important to them.
She and Ning Shaoming's parents are getting old, and the less they see them, the less she wants to be closer to them.
When she gets old and lives in her hometown, she may be able to make appointments with friends to get together and go out to play. Sometimes she feels very happy when they make appointments to go to the vegetable market or the morning market together.
If her parents are still alive by then and her family has bought a car, she can even take them out to travel around the area.
At their age, if they go to live in a big city, not to mention whether they can adapt, it may be difficult for them to make friends with similar growth experiences and with whom they can talk about all kinds of topics.
Not to mention that they have so many common memories of their childhood, adolescence and youth with their friends from their hometown. When they are old, they can get together and talk about the good memories of the past until they close their eyes.
Since you won't be living there for a long time, you might as well buy a smaller house which is more convenient to rent out and use the rent to pay off the mortgage. The house is in the same residential complex as Fan Xiaorong's, so you can ask her to help manage it and pay her some management fees.
If Fan Xiaorong is busy with work and has no time, the intermediary market in big cities is more complete and she can entrust her business to an intermediary.
After Zhao Ruyue finished talking with Fan Xiaorong, she went to discuss it with Ning Shaoming.
Ning Shaoming had no opinion on this matter. His idea was simpler: "We originally planned to buy houses in the county because we were worried that houses in the county would not be as expensive as those in big cities in the future, and we would not be able to afford them at a good price. We may have to sell them in the future anyway, so a small house might be easier to sell."
So it was settled.
Before the demolition compensation came in, Zhao Ruyue arranged the affairs of her store, asked for a few days' leave from her night school teacher, and went to Guangzhou alone.
Fan Xiaorong was very happy to see her, and was even happier when she knew that Zhao Ruyue was planning to buy a house in her neighborhood. It was a pity that they didn't plan to live there, so they couldn't become neighbors.
There were ready-made houses in her community. After looking at all the houses in the community, Zhao Ruyue chose the building where Fan Xiaorong's house was located. Both houses had good orientation and lighting, and were on suitable floors.
I paid the deposit first, and agreed to wait until the Dragon Boat Festival holiday before coming back to pay the down payment and complete all the formalities.
The demolition money should arrive by the end of April, but she is not worried even if it is delayed. They still have the income and savings from the store, which is more than enough for the down payment.
The time spent on looking at and buying a house is less than the time spent on the journey.
The rest of the time, Fan Xiaorong took her around Guangzhou.
This trip took Zhao Ruyue three days.
On the day she returned from Yangcheng, Zhao Ruyue arrived in the county town in the morning. She simply did not go back to the town. She went directly to the dormitory she rented at school, took a shower, and went to her own shop.
When she arrived, she went to a restaurant first to eat something before going back to work in her own store.
When Ning Shaoming heard the clerk say she was back, he came over and cooked something for her himself.
In the past few years, they have not been apart for so many days. He would not leave even after the food was ready. He would sit opposite Zhao Ruyue, watching her eat and chatting with her.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Ruyue heard Ning Shaoming talking about something new that happened in the county: "A new railway station is going to be built in the county."
Zhao Ruyue was shocked when she heard the news: "Why do you suddenly want to build a new website?"
This is something that never happened in my previous life!
In the previous life, the railway station in the county town had never changed. Later, it was changed into a high-speed railway station, which was also renovated on the old site.
Ning Shaoming said: "Maybe it is to make it easier to ship out the things in the county industrial park in the future. I heard that this is the case."
Zhao Ruyue suddenly realized: "Yes, the industrial park in the county has not stopped construction. Some places have been put into use after they were completed."
Not many people paid attention to the new railway station in the county town. Only when people first heard about it and thought it was novel did they pay a little attention to it. Later, most people gradually forgot about it.
After all, the construction time is not short, and many people may not even know about it until the new station is completed and opened to traffic.
People in the county and its surrounding areas are more concerned about the county's industrial park, which is related to the jobs of many people. If they can make money at home, many people don't want to leave home too far.
The county industrial park is being built with sufficient funds and at a fast pace.
The place where it was built was right in front of the four stores owned by Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming, across the road from them.
There is already a business settled there, and there is a door for entry and exit, which is almost directly opposite their store.
After some companies settled in there, their store's business became even more prosperous.
In the past, many people felt that they had lost money by buying these four houses, and they said that with the money they used to buy the four houses, they could also buy a house in the demolition area.
Once the house is demolished, you can get more demolition compensation than you get now for a house.
But now no one thinks so. Instead, they envy the location of their four rooms.
Demolition is just a one-time payment, and the amount of demolition compensation that a county town can get is not as much as that in a big city.
But after the four rooms in her house were converted into shops, they have now become four hens laying golden eggs.
After Ji Huixuan's photo studio's business stabilized, she felt embarrassed to keep using their space for free, so she started paying rent.
Although Zhao Ruyue did not charge much, the rent she asked for was much lower than that of the surrounding shops of similar size and location, but it was also a stable income, and she would not think any amount was too little.
Her small shop business is getting better and better.
Many of the employees of the companies across the street have mobile phones and PHS.
Zhao Ruyue now not only takes on the job of repairing MP3 and MP4, but after adding some equipment, she also started to take on the job of repairing mobile phones and PHS.
There are also some young workers who want to buy electronic devices to provide themselves with entertainment when they earn money.
The saturation of the MP3 and MP4 market in the county, which Zhao Ruyue had worried about in the past, seems not to happen in the next few years. Instead, she will have to worry about out-of-stock issues.
She also asked Fan Xiaorong to act as a go-between and import a batch of mobile phones and PHSs from Guangzhou to sell.
Now her shop has grown from a simple shop with two double-layer low shelves spliced together to form a counter and product display stand to a dedicated glass counter.
All the interior furnishings have also been replaced, and it looks a bit like an electronics store in the future.
The small room at the back of the store was originally used as a place for her family to rest when they were too late to go home, but now it has become a warehouse for her store.
After eating at the restaurant, Zhao Ruyue returned to the store, and Ning Shaoming also returned to the bakery.
There were quite a few customers in Zhao Ruyue's store. When Su Shengnan and the newly hired salesperson saw her, they only had time to say hello and then hurriedly continued to entertain the customers.
She went to a separate maintenance area in the store, intending to finish the work that had been delayed by her three-day trip to Guangzhou.
After the previous guests left, Su Shengnan finally had some free time. She opened her thermos cup filled with Polygonum lychnophora and took a few sips. Then she walked over to Zhao Ruyue holding the thermos cup.
"Master, recently many customers have complained to us that there is no place to top up their phone bills nearby, and asked if we can open a phone bill top-up service. I don't know what to do, so I can only tell them that I will ask you for them when you come back."
"This can be done, but one of you will have to be in charge of this business. Then the workload for the others will be greater than before, and it will be harder than before."
Su Shengnan said: "This is actually nothing. More workload means we can earn more commission. I am more worried that no one is willing to be responsible for the phone recharge business."
Zhao Ruyue thought about it seriously and thought that it was possible, because they all knew about the commission from buying things, and it was a tangible benefit right in front of them.
But they don't know how much commission they can get for recharging other people's phone bills, nor do they know how much business volume they have. They estimate that the commission is not as much as they can get from selling a product, so they will definitely hesitate.
Zhao Ruyue thought that she still had to do the phone recharge, and if the time was right, she could also apply to become a local cooperative business office of the telecommunications company.
But now it would be a bit of a waste to specially arrange someone to recharge the phone bill on your behalf.
Zhao Ruyue began to think, besides the phone bill recharge service, what else can she do?
While she was thinking, a clerk was downloading songs for a customer in front of a computer and opened a web page by the way.
The clerk looked at it for a while, then ran over excitedly and asked, "Boss, I bought something online and it's been sent to the post office. I want to go pick it up and I'll be back soon. Is that ok?"
Zhao Ruyue's eyes lit up: "Can we buy things online now?"
"Yes, I have bought it many times, but it takes a long time to be delivered. My package took six days to arrive at the post office. I really can't wait, but compared with the price of buying it locally, the money saved makes me think it is worth waiting for a few days."
"Okay, go ahead and be careful on the road." Zhao Ruyue thought of what else she could do.
She searched the Internet for the steps of online shopping and thought that she could also do online shopping agency business.
Not everyone has the U-Shield required for online shopping. Many people feel that they do not shop online often, so it is unnecessary to apply for one just to make a few purchases online occasionally.
Moreover, online shopping still requires computer operation, unlike later times when you can just click on your mobile phone, so this small business of online shopping on behalf of others will still be easy to do for a few years.
There is also a courier collection service, for which you may need to discuss with the nearest post office.
When the time comes, she can ask them to deliver all the packages with her store address written on them. This way she can make money and the customers and the post office can save trouble.
Her store is open until 9pm, including on holidays.
The post office is closed after business hours and is not open on holidays.
Moreover, even if she is off work and in the county town, if a customer has a package that needs to be picked up urgently, she can come over temporarily to help open the door and pick up the items.
Zhao Ruyue wrote all these things down in her notebook. After finishing, she felt that the total business volume of these businesses was a bit large.
I decided to hire another person to be responsible for these matters.
Before officially starting, Zhao Ruyue went to the bank, applied for a U-shield for herself, and tried to buy some things online.
Practice it a few times first to familiarize yourself with the current online shopping steps and shopping websites.
