Chapter 150 Funding Gap
Wang Dexian wanted to take Fang Mingche to see the Overseas Chinese Apartment. The three-courtyard house with an area of more than 800 square meters, clear property rights, and fairly well preserved mentioned last time is hard to come by.
Occasionally one comes out and they come across it. However, the asking price is 150,000, which is definitely not something the travel agency or Fang Mingche dares to ask about at the moment. Moreover, the house is only for sale and not for rent, and the family plans to go abroad after selling it. I heard that there are assets abroad. As for this Overseas Chinese Apartment, although it is rare, it is still possible to wait and see.
Fang Mingche said, "I've posted a few rental notices, but
I didn't get a single call." Wang Dexian said, "It's usually hard to find a house in a place like Huaqiao Apartment. A colleague from the municipal government told me that one was available, and then I called to contact him. You just posted a rental notice, how would people know your financial strength? Is the phone number you left public or something? They are too lazy to call you, and they don't have to worry about renting or selling."
Fang Mingche thought about it, that's true. There are no commercial houses now, it's a typical seller's market.
Moreover, even if he asked Huo Chen to come and rent a house, people might not consider the words of a scrap collector.
This is a 240-square-meter house, which is considered a large apartment in Huaqiao Apartment. When it came out in the 1960s, the apartment size was 150 to 240 square meters. The current market price is almost close to 50,000.
But in fact, it hasn't risen much in the past ten years. Because when it was first sold in the 1960s, it was more than 100 square meters per square meter, and now it's only 200 square meters per square meter. The decoration costs have to be taken into account.
Fang Mingche heard the market price and felt that there was no inflation now, so it was quite a good deal. Large-scale inflation occurred ten years later, during the transition from a planned economy to a market economy. This is inevitable!
But Wang Dexian couldn't help but grumble a few words while driving, "It's an old house that's more than ten years old, and it's rising instead of falling."
Fang Mingche said, "The house is good! And are there many choices now? In addition to the small apartments in Tuanjiehu Community that are used to accommodate personnel from various units transferred to Beijing, there is only this one commercial house in the whole capital. A typical case of too many monks and too little porridge!"
The house was built specifically for returned overseas Chinese. In the 1960s, only they could afford to buy a house for tens of thousands of yuan at a time.
Huo Chen went there to collect waste for a few days and kept saying how good this community was. Moreover, he set up his stall these days, and business came to him one after another. Those people were also quite polite to him.
Geng Shan and Wei Saozi, who stayed at the scrap yard, were envious and wondered what kind of good place it was.
As for Liu Qingfeng, he was leading people to open up wasteland in Xindian. Only after returning home did Geng Shan mention it a few times. But such a working environment is indeed enviable. However, in the first few months when he and Geng Shan were paid commissions, Huo Chen only had the basic salary. Didn't he pass it too!
The car arrived at this moment, and they registered at the door before driving in. Fang Mingche saw that it was really good inside, with the prototype of a garden community in the future. It was clean everywhere, and there was property management.
Yanyan and Fang Kang couldn't help but lean over to the car window to look, and he simply grabbed the back of their collars and let them lie on the car window.
Yanyan couldn't help but say, "Dad, it's so beautiful here."
Fang Mingche nodded. Compared with ordinary communities, it was indeed okay.
However, he had already been to the military compound, and he went to the general building. In addition, there is also the expert building of 301. Although the Overseas Chinese Apartment is good, it is still worse than these two places.
However, this is now a place where you can buy or rent it if you have money. Buyers and tenants are not limited to overseas Chinese.
There are other places of the same level in those two places, which are not accessible to ordinary people at all.
Wang Dexian made a phone call before he came. He parked the car downstairs and went upstairs directly. He rang the doorbell and someone opened the door. The community here is quite convenient for parking. After all, most overseas Chinese families can afford to buy cars, so parking spaces must be reserved for them.
The interior of the house has been emptied. It's like this nowadays. Whether it's sold or rented, furniture and home appliances must be moved. It costs tens of thousands to buy a whole set like this. Not only good wood!
"You can look around, the house must be a good house."
The two children followed and visited several rooms.
Yanyan also used the bathroom, and then pulled the pull cord with excitement. A stream of water came out of the flush tank, flushing it clean. Then the water tank began to fill with water again.
Fang Mingche saw that Fang Kang was also eager to try, so he said, "Do you really want to pee or just want to try it?"
Fang Kang touched his nose and said nothing. Fang Mingche knew that he just wanted to give it a try because it was interesting.
"Come and try again later. Dad has already decided to rent it."
Fang Mingche naturally liked the house. He whispered to Wang Dexian, "200 a month isn't too little? You can talk to him about it. We can pay annually. Is 2,000 a year okay?"
Wang Dexian nodded, went to the balcony to talk to the landlord, and took out Panda cigarettes to pass around.
He had introduced himself when he called before, saying that he was a staff member of the municipal government. He also said that the travel agency was an institution established under the guidance of the Municipal Government's Investment Promotion Office.
He showed his work ID as soon as he entered the door. After passing around the Panda cigarettes, the other party hesitated for a moment and agreed.
"Okay, it's reasonable to pay a little cheaper annually. If there is no problem, I will give you the keys after signing the contract and paying the rent. But you must take good care of the house!"
"Don't worry, our staff are all qualified."
This matter was done very smoothly. The key is that someone is willing to rent out the house and the travel agency can afford the rent.
Fang Mingche came here with money. He just passed by the bank to withdraw money. It is safest to have a car. He immediately took out the money from the high-end handbag. He stood on the balcony and wrote two copies of the rental contract. Both parties signed and got the keys.
The landlord trusted Wang Dexian, who worked in a government department, and wanted him to sign at first.
Wang Dexian said: "He takes the majority of the travel agency, and my family only takes one-third. He is a student of the English Department of Beijing Normal University."
Fang Mingche showed his student ID again, and the other party nodded after reading it. A student of the English Department of Beijing Normal University, this is also a golden sign. With such a background, it makes sense for the two to open a foreign travel agency.
"There is no way, you don't have a business license or official seal. Little brother, I'm sorry!"
Fang Mingche said, "It doesn't matter. Special matters are really handled with special means nowadays."
The landlord said, "I think the business you are doing is good and has a bright future."
"Thank you for your good words! This is the introduction of our travel agency. Please keep it. If any relatives or friends abroad need anything in this regard, please feel free to call us."
After the landlord left the key and left, Fang Mingche said to Fang Kang, "Go, try the rope. You can only try it once, don't waste water."
"Okay, Dad."
The two children ran in with a smile, and soon the sound of flushing was heard.
Yanyan said, "It's better than our toilet."
Fang Mingche said, "Tomorrow, Lingzi and Weiyou will arrange for the three tricycles at the scrap yard to be washed clean to help move. Brother enterprises! In the future, drive a business car to pick up people going to and from work in the morning and evening. There are four rooms, so the three drivers don't need to rent a house outside. Allocate one room for them to live in, but they can't cook. The kitchen can be used to store sundries first, and it is locked at ordinary times."
Wang Dexian nodded, "Okay."
The two business-class cars for picking up passengers dare not be used for moving. These two cars actually belong to Wang Dexian's unit, the investment promotion office. Because they need foreign exchange performance, they will rent the cars to travel agencies for one year in the name of support. Otherwise, how can they rent out two cars that they bought not long ago?
Even if the car is worth 90,000 yuan, they can get 18,000 yuan by renting it out for a year, they will not be willing. Well, the 18,000 yuan is probably put into the office's slush fund, and everyone has a share of the benefits. At least it goes into the slush fund according to a certain proportion. Because, without two business cars, the whole department will be inconvenienced. In this way, everyone will have no complaints.
It was promised that the car would be returned after one year, and it must be 80% to 90% new. If it was bumped or dented when used for moving, it would be a problem.
If these two cars could only be rented for one year, Fang Mingche would not have to rush to raise money to buy a car. Both cars must be returned before the end of November this year.
His plan is to raise 45,000 in April to buy one. By then, there will be three groups for the five-day tour, and the net profit is estimated to be 15,000 a month! In this way, two new cars can be bought by November.
Yanyan ran out, "Dad, are we going to move in?"
"No, this is used as an office. It's so far from your Yuhong class. But you can get up early on Sunday and take the travel agency's car to come over to play."
Yanyan was a little disappointed. She liked this community and this house very much.
"Okay."
Fang Mingche said, "When dad has money in the future, we will come here and get a house to live in."
When he went out, he registered his situation at the gate, as well as the license plate numbers of the two commercial vehicles and Wang Dexian's car. He also said that he would move in tomorrow.
The guard said, "If it is used as the office of a travel agency, then the number of people coming in and out should not be too complicated."
If it were not a project supported by the municipal government, the higher-ups would probably not be willing to accept it.
"Okay, there will be a total of ten staff members. I will let them all wear a work badge so that you can identify them easily."
After returning, Fang Mingche handed over the matter of moving the office to Lingzi and Wei You. Let them communicate with Liu Qingfeng and others. When the move is completed, invite the people from the scrap yard to have a meal and put it on the travel agency's public account.
Lingzi nodded, "Teacher Fang, don't worry, just leave it to me. Well, the TV."
"I bought it privately. However, the movie equipment will arrive soon, and I will put it in the conference room."
Zheng Xing helped him introduce the second-hand equipment bought from his father's unit, which finally saved him hundreds of yuan. His father's company needs to upgrade, but the old one is not too old. It's totally fine to show them some foreign movies.
The next day, Fang Mingche took his parents, nephew and daughter out again. This time, his parents finally figured it out and agreed to take Master He's black taxi out.
Today, the whole family went to the Summer Palace, and they were all dressed very solidly. In addition to the down jacket lining, Fang Mingche also found his and A Yan's military coats for his parents to wear. Then Yanyan and Kang Kang both wore space suits, and Kang Kang's was newly bought yesterday.
Fang's mother said, "By the way, where is the old space suit Yanyan wore last year?"
Fang Mingche said, "Oh, I gave it to a classmate's niece, including the boots. This time, they helped me get the old movie equipment from the company, and I saved a few hundred yuan."
Fang's father looked at Fang's mother. Didn't he buy a new one for Kang Kang? Why are you still asking who the old one was given to? Mingche and his friends are businessmen, so how can they not have some interpersonal relationships? Besides, the old one was originally worn by Fang Tong for Yanyan. It was because Mingfeng saw that Mingche could help and support him that he gave it to him. This is interpersonal communication.
Fang's mother glanced at him, embarrassed. Didn't she just think that the space suit was very good and it would be a pity to give it to someone else?
Fang's father said to Fang Mingche: "Businessmen really can't be stingy with their subordinates and friends. The nuts and fruits that Xiao Wang sent yesterday were quite rare, and we enjoyed them very much. At times like these, there really has to be give and take. Is that piece of bacon enough?"
Those dried fruits and fruits are not common at this time of year. It seems that the two are not of equal value, and Xiao Wang is being taken advantage of. When dealing with people, you must not only take in and not give out, or take in more and give less. People will think that you are not worth making friends with.
Fang Mingche said, "Dad, it's okay. The old man of the Wang family asked Wang Dexian to send it to us. He has everything in his house, and he doesn't lack anything. These are also local specialties and New Year gifts sent by people below him. He will accept them as a token of appreciation and give some gifts in return if he is very familiar with them. If he can't finish it after accepting it, he will share some with us. As for the bacon, it is enough to give us the bacon. Maybe he asked for it just to avoid us feeling bad."
Fang's father nodded. That's good. He was relieved that his youngest son knew what was going on.
After Fang Mingche took the two children to the front, he explained the reason to Fang's mother on the arch bridge behind.
"Mingche is just like Mingfeng. If you want to make a living outside, you have to be generous. Didn't you see that Mingfeng often brought people home for dinner? My second sister-in-law and nephew's wife were very willing to kill chickens and ducks. Besides, Mingche just bought a new space suit for Kang Kang yesterday. You spent so much money, but you still want the old one he gave away?"
"I see. I just felt that I didn't understand why I gave it to outsiders instead of Kang Kang. If I give it to him, I don't have to spend money to buy it again." "
When you gave it to him, you definitely didn't expect Kang Kang to come to Beijing for the New Year. It must have just been winter at that time. Children grow up quickly, and clothes need to be changed once a year."
At noon, we had lunch at the Imperial Restaurant in the Summer Palace. We booked a table in the name of the travel agency.
Looking at the Kunming Lake outside the window, Fang's father couldn't help but say, "I never thought that I would be able to wander around and eat in the territory of the Empress Dowager Cixi!"
Fang Mingche took off the camera hanging around his neck and put it away carefully. This is Wang Sange's. Wang Dexian took it over yesterday and said he would lend it to him for a while. He bought the film himself today. When we're done shooting, we'll take it to Lao He and ask him to develop it together.
"Dad, it's the People's Republic now, you just sit still."
Fang's mother was also a little shocked today. She said, "It's better now. Now you can buy a ticket and come in to see it. In the past, places like this were not allowed for ordinary people like us to get close. Where are we going this afternoon?"
Fang Mingche said, "The sun is out, let's go to Beihai Park in the afternoon. Kang Kang, Daddy will take you and your sister to go boating. Can you sing that song: Let's row our oars, and the boat pushes away the waves?"
Kang Kang said happily, "I've heard of it."
Fang Mingche touched Yanyan's head, "I was busy before, and I didn't have time to bring Yanyan to these places. This is her first time too." He saw that Yanyan was a little emotional.
Fang's father said, "Poor thing, I haven't brought you here to play for a year?"
Yanyan was stroked by her father, and now she was more sensible: "Mom and Dad are busy. They are busy with business and preparing for the college entrance examination." After that, she couldn't help but add, "A few days ago, they said they would take me to the zoo, and later they said they would wait for grandpa, grandma and Kang Kang to come and go together."
The dishes began to be served. After the waiter who served the dishes left, Fang's mother said, "Is this the food from the old palace? Look at the waiter just now. He is so tall, at least 168, and he looks pretty good."
She didn't dare to ask the price, so as not to be scared. Fortunately, she gave birth to a capable son and had the opportunity to taste the imperial meal.
Fang Mingche said, "Well, it's the old dishes. Now this place mainly does business with foreign tourists and overseas Chinese. I booked the table in the name of a travel agency. Come, mom and dad, Yanyan, Kang Kang, let's eat while it's hot."
In the afternoon boating, Fang Mingche strictly controlled the time. When the sun is not so strong, he will take the old and the young to the shore.
Yanyan was reluctant to leave, "Dad, the time has not come yet. If we leave now, we will lose out."
She had just learned how to row. At first, it was grandpa and grandma who rowed, and dad took pictures. Then she and Kang Kang learned to row together. It was so much fun!
Father Fang laughed, "There is a river in front of our house. We used to take you two to float in the water in a wooden basin."
Yanyan whispered, "It's different!"
Kang Kang was reluctant to go ashore, holding the oars tightly with his hands.
Fang Mingche said, "No, the water has only been thawed for a short time. If it weren't for the sun today, I wouldn't have taken you into the water. Hurry up, I'll count to three!"
Nowadays, it's not like the later generations. Kunming Lake, Beihai and other places will let the staff use large refrigeration units to cool the water surface, inject the cooled ice into the lake surface, and make it freeze. Moreover, this year's New Year's Eve is February 15th, which is almost March. Otherwise, it hasn't thawed yet.
The two little ones had to let go and go ashore. Seeing that they ran ahead but were still within sight, Fang Mingche didn't rush to catch up.
He asked; "Mom and Dad, do you feel cold?"
Fang's father said: "No. They are wearing very solid clothes, and they have been rowing all the time."
Yanyan and Kang Kang's so-called learning to row a boat is actually to make the boat move slightly. The two old people are the ones who really put in the effort.
Fang Mingche nodded, that's good!
He carried the camera and said, "Then I'll go after them."
Fang's mother said, "Okay, hold the camera well, don't let them drop it." She saw it in the department store yesterday. It was a Seagull brand camera, which cost several hundred yuan!
"I know."
In the afternoon, the family returned home happily. Fang's father and mother were naturally very proud. Their little son has really made a difference! The difference between studying and not studying is too big.
In small places, they learned not to ask him and Yanyan to be frugal.
Hearing his parents' feelings about studying or not, Fang Mingche just smiled. Now is the era with the highest cost-effectiveness of going to college: from 1977 when the college entrance examination was resumed to 1998 before the expansion of college enrollment.
In 1980, it was indeed as his parents said, going to college or not was really a world of difference. His college student ID card can now be directly copied to the travel agency's introduction to gain people's trust. Signing a rental contract in a place like the Overseas Chinese Apartment is also credible.
But when the new century comes, the total number of college graduates will soar to more than 10 million, and many college graduates will be unemployed after graduation. The "useless study theory" will begin to appear again.
It's bad. The baby in Yan's belly seems to have just happened to coincide with the expansion of college enrollment, and the quality of college students has decreased. Then he has to apply to the top 10 prestigious universities. Fortunately, he was born with a Beijing hukou.
The family took Master He's black taxi back. Since Fang Mingche planned the travel route, the approximate time could naturally be estimated. Even the transfer at noon was picked up by Master He at the Summer Palace. Not to mention now.
When they returned to the small side courtyard, the small side courtyard had changed a lot. The things and people in the two rooms that were originally used as offices were moved away. The room where the TV was placed will be used as an audio-visual room in the future. The place in the middle that was originally the main room has now returned to its original appearance.
The old furniture in the office was moved away, and Lin Yan asked Liu Qingfeng to buy three sets of six old sofas and coffee tables that should be placed in the main room directly at the place where old furniture is sold. The eight-immortal table and chairs that were placed outside the bedroom before were also moved over. From now on, this will be a formal living room. When guests come, they no longer need to be invited to sit in the large room in the east wing or in the space separated by a screen. From now on, this will be a small courtyard dedicated to living. After
the arrangement was completed this morning, Lin's mother kept saying, "It's more comfortable to live like this. By the way, Ah Yan, which room will you stay in during your confinement?"
Lin Yan pointed to the east room of the main house where her parents-in-law are now living, "That room. That room is very comfortable. When my parents-in-law return to Sichuan, we will wash everything that needs to be washed in it. After I give birth, I will live with you and the baby in the east room of the main house. Mingche will continue to live in the east wing with Yanyan. When it gets warmer, we will train Yanyan to live in a small room by herself."
Now that she has a younger brother or sister, it's time for her to learn to sleep in a separate bed from her parents.
The main room is for the elders. When the baby grows up, let them live in the wing together. She and Mingche live in the main room. It's actually okay for a family of four to live like this. The main room and the east wing are actually very close to each other. The closest place is only one meter away.
When Lin's mother heard that there was no house prepared for the in-laws to live in for a long time, she asked, "Did you make this arrangement or Mingche? He did a good job. You shouldn't just not arrange a room for his parents."
"He did it. He said that even if his parents stayed for a long time, they would definitely live near the scrap yard. Clean up that place for them to live in. They can't transfer their household registration, so they can't legally reside for a long time. Then they can only live in an inconspicuous place in the countryside. Besides, my parents-in-law are probably more accustomed to living in the countryside. We are going to see the new office tonight. If nothing unexpected happens, I will take them to see the scrap yard tomorrow night."
Lin's mother nodded, "That's okay. There are some things that you, as a daughter-in-law, should not show up or say. It's better to live separately; if you live together, your teeth and tongue will bump into each other sometimes, no matter how good they are."
She is also an old lady, and she actually understands the idea of the old lady wanting the family to be reunited. But her daughter is a daughter-in-law, so she hopes that she can live more comfortably and not have to stand in front of her parents-in-law all day. The policy of not allowing farmers to flow blindly into Beijing is quite good.
At this moment, Father Fang nodded when he saw the greatly changed house, "This looks like a home. Before, it didn't look like a home, and it didn't look like an office."
Fang Mingche thought: Isn't that just a makeshift thing when there is no other way? Now it is indeed much more professional!
"Mom and Dad, you guys go and have a rest. After the driver and the tour guide come back and have dinner, we will go to see the new office together."
Father Fang nodded, "Then how do you solve the canteen problem?" Boss Cui's restaurant is so convenient.
Fang Mingche said, "Just find one when you get there. Nowadays, people encourage self-employment and business, and there will be no shortage of such private restaurants. Just ask Lingzi and the others where they had lunch at noon."
However, the Overseas Chinese Apartment is indeed a wealthy area. Maybe the tips for eating there are higher.
Lin Yan walked out of the room slowly. Now she can close the door of her room freely, and she is very comfortable.
She said, "Mom and Dad are back, come sit down and have a rest. Yanyan, you and Kang Kang should also have a rest. Let's go to the office to play in the evening."
Yanyan said, "Mom, are you going too?"
Lin Yan nodded, "Yes, isn't there an elevator? Mom doesn't have to climb the stairs by herself. I heard there are radiators, right?"
Nowadays, places with collective heating are extremely limited. If there is heating, it will be comfortable to spend the winter.
Fang Mingche nodded, "Yes."
Mother Lin couldn't help but say, "It was built in the early 1960s, it's so good."
Fang Mingche said, "Mom, the Overseas Chinese Apartments in Shanghai were built earlier than that, in 1959. They also had elevators, wooden floors, toilets, faucets, hot and cold water pipes, etc. At that time, these two elevator apartments had to be purchased with foreign exchange. If you look back at a few Hollywood movies from decades ago, you will understand. Elevators and other things were very popular abroad decades ago."
Lin's mother "tsk tsk" twice. Everyone agreed that those things that had to be purchased with foreign exchange were all good things.
Seeing that the topic had been diverted, Lin Yan hurriedly said, "Mingche, two people came to see you this morning. They said they were back from Japan, and you had been to their homes before. They met privately and decided to come to see you today. They actually called before they came, but the phone happened to be moved, so they didn't get through. They came directly. They happened to come across the relocation, so I asked them to go with me and Lingzi will be responsible for greeting them."
Fang Mingche nodded, "Finally they are back! I thought the three of them were really going to work illegally in Japan."
Fang's father and mother had already walked to the main room, and Fang's mother was still holding Kang Kang. In order to save this kid from not knowing how to get tired and still being active!
Fang's father turned around and said, "Why, you still want to receive Japanese tourists?"
He had an uncle in the Sichuan Army back then. He was ordered by Chairman Liu to go out of Sichuan to fight against the Japanese, and he never came back. His uncle hadn't gotten married yet, and when he buried his clothes and hats, he and his second brother and other brothers of the same generation wore mourning together.
At that time, it was not just their family! Three million Sichuan Army soldiers left Sichuan to fight against the Japanese, but nine out of ten never returned, and many of them died in poverty!
Fang Mingche said, "Dad, the two countries have established diplomatic relations now. We are not qualified to forgive on behalf of our ancestors, but we might as well make use of their money and technology. Japan lent money to our country for reform and opening up."
Fang's father was stunned, "Can the Japanese still do good things?"
Fang Mingche said, "Japan's economy has developed rapidly since World War II, and now it has threatened the economic dominance of the United States. The United States has suppressed them quite severely. They hope that we can stand up and share some of the pressure."
"Huh, they are not afraid of us becoming stronger."
Fang Mingche said, "The Japanese look down on our industrial level in their bones. They think that as long as they produce electrical appliances and sell them to us, their home appliance industry will continue to prosper. The same is true for other industries! They don't think we can threaten their industrial status at all. Let's take advantage of the situation for development at this moment. Moreover, letting Japanese tourists come to travel is also making money from them. European countries have various foreign currencies and Japanese yen, and Chinese banks can exchange them for US dollars when they take them abroad. On these big levels, let's follow the country."
At present, domestic electrical appliances have not been able to stand up, and society is indeed proud of using electrical appliances imported from Japan. However, after a generation of research and development, domestic home appliance brands such as Haier, Midea, Gree, and Changhong have become more prominent. Not only electrical appliances, but also China's technology tree has gradually been lit up, and Japan's idea has gone bankrupt!
Someone outside the door said, "Teacher Fang is right. This is how the Japanese view our industry now."
Fang Mingche had just heard the sound of a business car coming back. He turned his head to look at the unfamiliar voice. Unexpectedly, in addition to the tour guide and the driver, Lingzi, Wei You, and Teacher Qiu all came back. As for the stranger who spoke just now, he should be the Japanese tour guide he wanted.
He followed him to observe for a long time and came back with him. It seems that he has decided to stay.
Fang Mingche said to them, "Welcome!"
Lingzi said, "Teacher Fang, we didn't find a good and cheap place to eat at noon. Let's just ask them to give us a ride on their way home from work and come back for dinner."
Fang Mingche laughed, "This is your office's job. Tomorrow you ride Ayan's bike, with the Overseas Chinese Apartment as the center, and get familiar with the land nearby."
Lingzi nodded, "Okay."
Since they were all back, they went directly to Boss Cui's place for dinner. Fang Mingche called the two who had just returned from Japan, "Let's go and have dinner together, and then we'll talk about other things after dinner."
"Okay!"
Everyone had just sat down and the dishes hadn't started yet, when Wang Dexian arrived on a bicycle.
Hearing that Lingzi and the others had come back specially for dinner, he smiled and said, "Don't mention it, I also think Lao Cui's cooking skills are very good. I also came here specially for dinner."
Boss Cui smiled, "Okay, wait. I will cook every dish for you today."
After he left with a smile, Wang Dexian nodded to Fang Mingche, "Okay."
Last night, he told Fang Mingche that he had originally wanted to find him for a translation job. Isn't their department attracting investment, so they must deal with foreign businessmen. The translator they had previously cooperated with happened to catch a cold. The leader said that your department has supported a foreign travel agency, so why not borrow a translator from there? Nowadays, English translators are needed everywhere.
If Fang Mingche doesn't have to take his parents to travel, he will naturally be the best candidate. Wang Dexian thinks that attracting investment and non-rigid translation are also very important. He and Xiao Fang have been working together for a long time and have a tacit understanding. When the time comes, they will naturally be able to handle the situation together, and maybe they can complete a large amount of this year's task at the beginning of the year.
But unfortunately, Xiao Fang's parents came during this period. The two elders had come from afar, and it would be bad for the son to ignore them. Especially since his daughter-in-law was pregnant and could not help.
Fang Mingche thought about it and asked if Teacher Qiu was okay. Nowadays, those who are proficient in English in travel agencies are either leading tours. Only he and Teacher Qiu have a little more freedom in their schedules.
Wang Dexian naturally did not dare to make a decision on this matter casually, after all, Teacher Qiu's hat had not been taken off yet. He said that he would go back and ask the leader for instructions. Now that he said it was okay, it was obvious that someone who could make the final decision agreed.
Fang Mingche looked at Teacher Qiu. The memorial service would not be held for more than two months. But it seemed that many situations had become clear.
Teacher Qiu didn't know what was going on at first. There was no conclusion yet, and Fang Mingche would definitely not tell him in a hurry. When they heard him say it while waiting for the food, not only Teacher Qiu but also Qiu Yin were stunned.
Teacher Qiu's lips trembled a little and he couldn't speak. Qiu Yin hurriedly asked, "Does this mean that my father's problem can be clarified?"
Wang Dexian said, "Wait a little longer. But it should be soon!"
Teacher Qiu sat at the same table with them. It took him a long time to find his voice. "Xiao Fang, you told me last year that the results would be clear in the first half of this year. I was skeptical at the time."
He was mainly attracted by the salary Xiao Fang offered, and it could also help Qiu Yin solve her work problem.
Wang Dexian looked at Fang Mingche, you really dare to say that! At that time last year, the higher-ups had already sent various working groups to various places to conduct investigations and rectify the chaos. But how dare you say such a definite statement?
Fang Mingche said nothing. He had experienced it once!
After dinner, Wang Dexian asked about it. Fang Mingche said, "They have officially sent people to investigate, so the result is clear. In particular, the household contract responsibility system is being tried and promoted."
Wang Dexian said, "That's right. However, the old man seemed to be very excited and didn't eat much tonight. My leader asked about it at the time, and when he learned that he was still an employee of Beijing Normal University, he said there was no problem. In any case, this is also contributing to the country."
But in the past few years, Teacher Qiu didn't even have the qualifications to redeem himself and contribute to the country. Being able to burn the boiler and avoid many disturbances, he was already protected by the school leaders.
On the way back, Fang Mingche, Wang Dexian and the two illegal workers who came back from Japan to observe today walked in front.
One of them was called Cui Yingqi and the other was called Wu Mingju, both of them were very thin. After waiting for a long time, I finally saw the two bosses, and said, "We have seen everything we should see today. We took a taxi and followed a tour group for a day."
Fang Mingche said, "Well, we didn't have a Japanese tour guide before, so we had to rely on you to carry the burden. I said that as long as you are willing to come back, I will let you stand on your own land and make money. This sentence is absolutely true! Although it will not be as much as you earn in Japan at the beginning, it will definitely increase gradually. Tomorrow, I will arrange an office for your Japanese tour guide group, and you two will be partners first. As for salary, since you also have to take on the task of establishing a Japanese tour guide group, how about I pay you 300 a month? Later, when the business is on track, I will give you a commission. After it is on track, it should not be less than 300 a month. And our travel agency, with the current development momentum, will definitely be able to grow big."
The two looked at each other. 300 a month in the capital is very sincere. When they come back, they can take care of their families. Their families don't have to worry about them so much.
"Okay, we'll report on time tomorrow morning."
"Okay, happy cooperation!"
Wang Dexian said, "Willn't the car be affordable until April?"
"Well, let them come up with a plan first. I'll see if I can borrow another 10,000 yuan in March. Does the bank have any support policies?"
The initial funds are really a problem! The travel agency has been making a monthly profit of 10,000 yuan, but it's still far from enough! Without a bank loan, it's really hard to start a business in the early stages.
Wang Dexian spread his hands, "How can it be so fast? It's a great improvement to not catch speculation now. Moreover, I estimate that the bank doesn't have much money to lend out. After so many years of delay, the treasury is empty! Otherwise, I go back and ask my grandfather if he can still take it out?"
Fang Mingche shook his head and said, "I'll think of a way. It's not a problem this time."
The initial investment is related to shares. Even if the Wang family doesn't say it, he can't say it's a loan. If the Wang family really wants to pay, he must pay in proportion.
In fact, it's not a big problem this time. He had long expected that one or two of the three people who went to Japan to work illegally might come back after the new year. Now that people are back as scheduled, how can it be a big problem?
Otherwise, you can let them prepare for one more month, and then they will have enough money to buy a car. However, one car, a five-day tour + a one-day tour, can make a profit of 5,000 a month. There is no need to wait for another month. After half a month of training and having relevant service awareness and professional level, you can start working.
Besides, didn’t Lao Zhou take the initiative to say that he still had 3,000 yuan to lend to the travel agency? The scrap yard still has 7,000 yuan that can be moved over for a month. Just pay the interest of 70 yuan a month, and A Yan won’t use her previous words that she would try not to withdraw money from the scrap yard to block him.
Wang Dexian said: "I see that you are frowning, and I really wonder what you are worried about. It was what you expected for these two people to come back to join our travel agency at this time."
"I just think that banks can't lend money, and the capital gap in the early stage of doing business is really difficult. Those who succeed early are not ordinary people!"
