Chapter 151 It's not easy
Fang Mingche was really full of admiration for Nian Guangjiu and Mou Zhongqi, the two reform pioneers. In the early 1980s, doing business, and doing big business, not only required breaking the law, but also solving funding problems and various social problems. No matter what the problem was, it was tempting. Under such circumstances, they were able to make a fortune of millions in a short period of time. They were really amazing!
Wang Dexian said: "Actually, as for the funding issue, the last time you went to the military compound, many people told me that they could pay."
Fang Mingche laughed, "You want shares?" There is no free lunch in this world. Moreover, those three generations would definitely not want to eat the Wang family's shares. What can I do? Just start with an ordinary citizen like me. He has 60% of the shares and two-thirds of the dividends.
Wang Dexian nodded, "Yes, they said that if we are short of money, they can help find a way. They are so happy!"
Speaking of their business, the start-up capital only cost 15,000! But now it has a stable profit of 10,000 a month. It will increase visibly in the future. This is indeed a very attractive investment.
At the beginning, the two families pooled 5,000 yuan, and Guan Lao Zhou and Boss Cui each borrowed 5,000 yuan. Then Wang Dexian lobbied the company, and with the benefits of both name (the travel agency's foreign exchange earning work was counted as a political achievement, and the summary directly stated that it was carried out under the leadership of the Investment Promotion Office) and reality (the first year's rent of 18,000 yuan was a small gold mine), he successfully rented two 95% new business cars.
The Investment Promotion Office also bought them to receive foreign businessmen, but the frequency of use was not high, so two cars could be spared. If it were not for this reason, how could there be ready-made cars? By freeing up two cars, we can still overcome the difficulties in the short term.
Of course, his grandfather's face must have been used in this. Otherwise, he was an ordinary clerk, and the leaders of the company were so easy to talk to?
However, when he went to pay New Year's greetings this time, the leaders hinted at him. They said that he did a good job last year. Especially this travel agency was a stroke of genius, which made the performance of the entire department look much better. So, this year his position may not just be an ordinary clerk.
Oh, of course, there is also the advantage of having people. Xiao Fang discovered a Professor Qiu in the boiler room of Beijing Normal University. He played a great role in the early development of the travel agency.
Fang Mingche said, "What did you say?"
If Grandpa Wang hadn't existed, seeing that the travel agency was so profitable, some second and third generations would definitely come out to forcefully invest. Otherwise, it would be too easy to ruin you if you can't get it!
But now, the Wang family probably won't let anyone enter the market at will. It is politically correct to earn foreign exchange for the country! It is good for the future development of the Wang family. Why should others share this benefit?
Wang Dexian said, "I told them about Lao Zhou and Boss Cui with a smile, saying that they could also offer a high interest rate of 12%. Then no one spoke again. Humph, they want to pick the peaches of our Wang family, they are so happy!"
Fang Mingche said, "The money this time is fine, and it will also be fine if it develops as expected this year. I just felt emotional and frowned just now."
The Wang family has this attitude. Wang Dexian must have informed himself specifically. That's fine, he will just focus on making it bigger and stronger in the future. Don't worry about this kind of external trouble, the Wang family will block it.
Many people in later generations always think that doing business in the early days of reform and opening up is as easy as bending down to pick up money. No matter what business you do, as long as you dare to go into business
, you can make a fortune. Then they sigh that they were born at the wrong time and didn't encounter this good opportunity! But there are already a billion people in this era, why are there only a few who succeed? The difficulties of doing business in this era are no less than those in later generations! Just the courage to go into business has stopped 99% of people. Testing the law is not a joke, and you will go to jail if you are not careful.
He raised the banner of "earning foreign exchange for the country" and found the Wang family as a backer to avoid most of the risks. But the funding gap in the early stage of entrepreneurship is really big! What
Lao Wang said about the empty treasury should be true. Nowadays, not only is the policy of banks not yet at that stage, it is estimated that they really have no money to lend to people for startup funds. If they had money, they would not have to borrow money from the Japanese government. Even between people, this is a debt of gratitude, not to mention between countries.
Moreover, the travel agency does not even have a business license, so what name can it use to apply for a loan? If it wants to borrow more, it must be in the name of the enterprise. But they are now nameless and without status!
The four words "every industry is in need of reconstruction" have become concrete. Now, everything really needs to wait.
But the most important thing is that the bank has no money. Where does the bank's money come from? Except for the capital allocated by the state, isn't it all deposited by ordinary people? There is no money in the treasury, and how much spare money can ordinary people have now? No matter how much money Chinese people can save, they must first have money to maintain basic expenses. Nowadays, except for Lao Zhou who has an American uncle to give him money, and Boss Cui who started his business early with his skills, ordinary people can live a good life.
Boss Cui's catering business really does not require too much investment, and it is cash paid every day. So he has a lot of surplus. As for travel agencies, cars are really indispensable at present. But the money for buying cars is so scary now! He needs to buy three commercial vehicles and two pickup trucks this year. The total price of the five cars is 160,000 to 170,000 yuan.
The three-story courtyard house that is hard to come by is priced at 150,000 yuan. After more than 30 years, it can be sold for more than 200 million yuan! After more than 30 years, these five cars must have been scrapped.
But the account is not calculated that way. These five cars can at least earn him money for six to eight years! 20,000 yuan a month, six years is 1.44 million yuan. 1.44 million can buy several courtyard houses, even if the price of courtyard houses will soar in a few years. Many people know that courtyard houses are non-renewable good resources. But it was only the beginning of the 1980s, so it is still okay to postpone the purchase for one or two years.
Speaking of which, in the safe he opened in the bank, there are 800 golden monkey stamps, which can rise to 10 million in the future; more than ten bottles of military-supplied Maotai, which can be hyped up to more than 200,000 per bottle in the future. He also has a small side courtyard with an estimated market value of 15 million in the future. But these are distant waters that cannot quench immediate thirst, and they are just a thought now. Because the whole courtyard house doesn't take up so much cash, he got it and put it there.
Now, it's better to concentrate on solving the funding gap for buying a car. Let's do it step by step!
After thinking it through, Fang Mingche calmed down and stopped thinking so much. The two waited for a while, and when Qiu Yin came with Teacher Qiu, he said to her: "Take good care of your father, and call me|Xiao Fang if there is anything."
Qiu Yin nodded, she was actually a little excited. Her father is finally going to get through it! She doesn't have to be implicated.
She has dragged it until now, at the age of thirty, and hasn't found a partner or solved her personal problems. Isn't it all because of this reason? Her father once asked her to write a letter of denunciation to draw a clear line with him. But even so, it can't actually solve the problem fundamentally. She didn't agree!
"Teacher Fang, Comrade Wang, thank you. Thank you so much!" Qiu Yin's voice was also a little trembling, and she bowed to the two.
The two men quickly asked Lingzi to hold the man, "No, no need to do that." Today, the travel agency gathered to celebrate the move to a new house. So Lingzi and Teacher Gao were there.
Uncle Gu came out for a walk after dinner and happened to see Qiu Yin bowing. He stopped and said, "What did you say?"
Even if he was grateful, it was too formal! Looking at Teacher Qiu again, he was still a little bit unable to control himself at this moment. He had some guesses in his mind.
Fang Mingche said concisely: "Wang Dexian and his investment promotion office asked Teacher Qiu to help and take over the translation work. They need to communicate with foreign businessmen in their daily work."
The English tour guide team does not need to recruit new people for the time being, so it is no problem to borrow Teacher Qiu in the short term. Anyway, the translator commonly used by the investment promotion office has a cold. Moreover, the travel agency can be opened, and it is indeed supported by the investment promotion office. Just think of Teacher Qiu as repaying the favor on behalf of the travel agency.
Uncle Gu, who had also experienced those ten years of suffering, immediately reacted and said with joy: "Teacher Qiu, congratulations, congratulations! This can be regarded as seeing the light at the end of the tunnel."
Uncle Gu patted Teacher Qiu on the shoulder, "After all the bad times come good times, after all the bad times come good times!" Teacher
Qiu nodded to him, "Yeah."
He only had one thing on his mind. Thinking of this, Teacher Qiu also looked at Fang Mingche.
"Xiao Fang, I heard that matchmaking is also a matter of good things coming in pairs. Do you have any suitable male classmates in your class who can be introduced to our A Yin? This matter will be entrusted to you without bothering two people."
Wang Dexian laughed out loud, "Xiao Fang, you can continue to be a part-time matchmaker."
Fang Mingche thought to himself: Isn't it just right that your two families have digested it internally before! What's more, you two old men get along so well. You don't have to bother me twice.
He said, "Teacher Qiu, I actually have another plan for Sister Qiu. You don't have to focus on China."
Qiu Yin was originally a little amused, and after hearing this, she quickly asked, "What plan?"
"I think the UK and we should have direct flights soon. Even if there are no direct flights, it's okay. It only takes two hours to drive from Paris to London. You can fly to Paris first, and then drive to London. I want to arrange for you to go to the overseas office to attract tourists when there is some money in the account in the second half of the year. This will be more helpful for expanding business. Otherwise, we will still be just a makeshift team, running to the airport every week to attract customers. Of course, if you don't want to go, I will make other arrangements. In this way, we can just talk while walking there."
Qiu Yin's face was a little serious. If she went, she would be stationed abroad for a long time. Only her father and grandmother were left at home. Besides, she was not young after all.
"Teacher Fang, let me think about it."
"Okay! It's okay. It's still early before the end of the year. You can think it over slowly."
Lingzi couldn't help but glance at Fang Mingche.
What does the new office look like today? Except for Lingzi, Liu Qingfeng and others who participated in the move, and Teacher Qiu and Wei You who have already worked there for a day, other people including the driver and tour guide don’t know yet. They haven’t got their work badges yet, and the guard won’t let them in. It doesn’t work even if they register their license plates. They can only wait outside in the afternoon for the people inside to come out. Now they might as well drive over and take a look and recognize the door.
Except for the original people in the office, everyone else from the travel agency will go there this time. In addition to Wang Dexian, Teacher Gao, and Fang Mingche’s family, they simply drove two cars. There was a vacant seat, so Qin Hua and Xiao Xie also ran over.
This time, Fang Mingche and Wang Dexian entered by face recognition, and showed the new work badges they made today to the guard.
"Okay, I will let anyone wearing this badge in tomorrow. This morning when you moved, we let the people on the tricycle in without work badges. But it’s not a special case now that everyone has moved."
"Okay, thank you very much."
There were so many people that everyone took the elevator in two groups. Yanyan and Kangkang followed again without any hesitation, saying that what they saw yesterday was just an empty frame.
They went upstairs and opened the door. Everyone was surprised to find that there was heating. "So Lingzi and the others worked in a place with heating today?"
Fang Mingche said, "Yes, the Overseas Chinese Apartment has indeed had heating since it was built. This is charged by area. Heating starts on November 15th every year and ends on March 15th of the following year. You can enjoy it for another two or three weeks."
Buying a commercial vehicle requires a large one-time expenditure. But you can save 750 yuan in rent every month. This 750 yuan can cover the office rent and telephone rent. Well, it is estimated that the meal expenses for two meals and the heating fee can also be paid from it.
Fang's mother couldn't help but say, "This is really comfortable!" I feel cold when I come to the capital. But the temperature in this room can reach 18 degrees. She took off all her outer clothes and bent down to take them off for Kangkang. Others also started.
Kang Kang even took her to see the flush toilet, "This one flushes clean with one pull."
Qiu Yin couldn't help but say, "Then our lives will be so much better in the future. Thank you Teacher Fang, thank you Comrade Wang. You haven't enjoyed it yet."
Ning An'an and the drivers also laughed.
Wang Dexian laughed and said, "Enjoy it? Xiao Fang and I are still worrying about the business car for the Japanese tour guide group."
Speaking of which, the monthly profit is 10,000, and Grandpa takes a quarter, 2,500. He takes one twelfth, which can be divided into more than 800. But in the three months since the opening, he has not seen a single hair, and the money has to be saved to buy a car.
Gao Xiang laughed and said, "Look at the long term, look at the long term."
In the past few months, the living standards of the travel agency staff have risen sharply, and these two bosses really haven't gained any benefits. They are happy just looking at the account book, but they still have to worry about the car payment. The conditions of this office are really good, so good that he wants to come to work often.
He just saw that his desk is in the same place as the two bosses, and neither of them sits in the office. The office desks are quite high-end, better than those used by ordinary staff.
The English and Japanese groups occupy the living room + dining room. The three of them use one room. In addition, the master bedroom is used as a meeting room. Administrative staff currently occupy one room, and there is a kitchen left for sundries. Another room is for three drivers, that's all.
Lin Yan said, "There is Teacher Gao's desk, what about mine?" The room is small, so it's okay to put three desks, but it would be too crowded to put four.
Wang Dexian pointed to one of them and said, "This one is nominally mine, and it must be for you to use. Besides, you don't come here often."
Lin Yan nodded, okay, let's arrange it this way. It would be too crowded to cram in four desks.
Everyone looked at the four bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. Fang Mingche said, "Qiu Yin, tell Lingzi to go to the second-hand furniture store to buy two more sets of office equipment tomorrow. Just call a tricycle on the street to get them."
Qiu Yin nodded in agreement. She just needs to tell her father when she gets home. Tomorrow morning, she will go to the Friendship Hotel to pick up the group, so she may not meet Lingzi.
Lin Yan and Lin's mother walked around the rooms slowly. Lin's mother also had a lot of feelings, "This is a house that was opened in 1962!"
"At that time, overseas Chinese bought it with foreign exchange. Shouldn't we repair it better?"
Lin's mother made a "tsk" sound. New China has been short of foreign exchange since its founding.
Fang's father heard it and couldn't help but say, "This house is 18 years old? It doesn't look like it. Everything is still in good condition."
Not only is the interior and exterior appearance of the house well preserved, but the heating and water pipes are also in good condition.
Fang's mother wanted to sigh that the people living here are really rich. But thinking that they are all overseas Chinese, she didn't say it out loud. This trip to the capital is really an eye-opener. How can you imagine how the rich people in the capital live in the countryside?
We have seen it all, so we are going home.
Wei You has watched the "News Broadcast" and has gone home. Teacher Qiu is in a very excited mood today, and he went for a walk with Grandpa Gu. Lingzi, Liu Qingfeng, Hu Yong and others are watching TV series inside. Lingzi is here, and she can also answer the phone.
Qiu Yin also came to watch TV, "Lingzi is here." She told what Fang Mingche had told her before.
Lingzi nodded, "Okay, I'll remember it."
After she said that, she turned her head to see where Fang Mingche was, and then walked towards him.
"Teacher Fang, my dad said that the phone rental fee is 3,000 yuan a year, which is fine. But the travel agency's phone bill cannot exceed 1,500."
Fang Mingche nodded, "Okay, let's start from March 1st."
If everything goes well, the travel agency should be able to pay 5,000 or 6,000 yuan in March next year to install a phone by itself. By then, the travel agency will probably have a "status" (business license).
He remembered that in his previous life, on September 10, 1980, the "Personal Income Tax Law" and the "Sino-Foreign Joint Venture Enterprise Income Tax Law" were promulgated and implemented in 1981. The tax rate for private enterprises will definitely be the same as that of state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises. If taxes are collected, then business people will definitely be able to get business licenses.
That's right, the treasury is indeed empty now, and it has to rely on taxation. Otherwise, let alone formulating policies to allow banks to lend money to businessmen, daily administrative expenses and military expenses will probably not be enough. After
Fang Mingche finished speaking, seeing that Lingzi was still staring at him, he couldn't help but wonder, "Why, is there something else?"
The two were standing in the middle of the courtyard at this moment. Mother Lin was a little puzzled when she saw this from the window. What did Lingzi want to do with her son-in-law?
Lin Yan didn't care, "Mom, don't stand at the window and watch. We are going to move the Zhou family's phone, so we have to tell Uncle Zhou, right?"
Mother Lin walked away from the window, "Didn't we say a few words?"
"They are talking openly, why are you looking at them from the window? Lingzi is a subordinate, it's normal for her to ask Mingche for advice."
Lin's mother said, "No, I don't doubt anything. It's just what you said, if there is something, she wouldn't stand in the courtyard so openly. I'm just a little worried, Mingche is so outstanding and so young. What if others have some inappropriate thoughts?"
Mingche is only 25 years old, and Lingzi is 18 years old. What if the little girl has admiration or even more thoughts?
Lin Yan said, "Then don't stand at the window to look at them, it's too petty! I will communicate with Mingche if there is anything. Let him be careful not to radiate his charm casually."
Her last sentence was a bit joking, but her mother didn't refute it. It seems that the old lady really thinks her son-in-law is a hot commodity now.
Lin's mother said, "I'm going to close the curtains, not to go there to see him specially."
At this time, Fang Mingche and Lingzi had already walked to the living room of the main house and sat down. After all, it was a bit colder outside, so they opened a window here for ventilation. Next door, people were watching TV on one side; on the other side, Fang's father and mother were taking Fang Kang to wash up with water from a bottle.
Well, the people who were rebuilding the water pipes came today. Because the travel agency was moving, they started with the slum. They dug up the ground to bury the pipes, and connected them to the pipes in the slum next door. It will be convenient when it's done.
Fang Mingche said, "Sit down."
Lingzi did have some questions to ask Fang Mingche. The little girl did have some admiration for him, and felt that he knew a lot. It was normal to ask questions.
"Teacher Fang, those two people came back from Japan today, which had a big impact on me. I asked them privately about their income in Japan. They didn't want to tell me at first. I told them that my uncle was in the United States, and they promised to consider getting me out. They told me that although they didn't have a monthly income of 1,200 yuan like other Japanese, they also had 700 to 800 yuan. That is, they worked 12 to 15 hours a day."
Fang Mingche thought about it, 1,200 yuan a month. This should be the average wage level in Japan. He had seen data before, that the average annual income per capita in Japan in 1980 was 9668 US dollars. If calculated at the exchange rate of the central bank, it would be 1200 RMB per month. If calculated at the exchange rate of the black market, it would probably be much more.
As for China, the average annual income per capita in 1980 was 194 US dollars. According to the exchange rate of the central bank, it is about 300 RMB. This also includes farmers, people without income, etc. The average monthly income of Chinese people is 25 yuan! The average income of Japanese people is 48 times that of ours!
He said: "I gave Cui Yingqi and the other two a monthly salary of 300 yuan, which is the preparation stage. After the Japanese tour guide group officially starts operating, they will receive a basic salary plus commission."
He must have learned about the income situation in Japan, so he gave this number.
300 a month, but you can take Sundays off and work 8 hours a day. You can also take care of your family and not be bullied by the Japanese. These two people should be satisfied at the moment.
Lingzi was shocked, so much? Maybe only a little less than Teacher Qiu, but higher than the staff of other travel agencies.
"I went home and told my dad before that you should call back those who went to Japan to work illegally as tour guides. My dad always said that they would never come back. He also told me not to be short-sighted, and that I would be reluctant to leave after my passports and visas were approved."
Fang Mingche nodded, "So you are a little surprised that they came back today?"
"Yes." Lingzi nodded. Then he added: "But you pay them 300 a month, and they can get commissions in the future, so it's no wonder."
But her income can't be that high. Teacher Lin has already talked to her. From March 1st, her basic salary will increase to 48 yuan, plus a monthly meal allowance of 24 yuan. Oh, if she participates in a dinner party, the 50 cents for that meal will be withheld.
Fang Mingche said: "So you are a little confused now, and don't know whether you should go to the United States?"
Lingzi nodded. After all, my uncle himself washed dishes in the United States for decades. She can understand why Cui Yingqi and others came back. Because there is no dignity in Japan. She actually doesn't want to go to wash dishes, but the high salary in the United States is indeed very attractive.
Fang Mingche said, "If you are offered the same treatment as Cui Yingqi and the others, will you still go?"
Lingzi shook her head, "Actually, I don't want to go. But the salary in the United States is really much higher than ours. My father and mother asked me to go there to pave the way for my younger brother and sister. They said that if I can gain a foothold, they won't have to ask my uncle for help when they want to go abroad. Besides, it will be much easier for my parents to go abroad."
Who would want to wash dishes? But the salary in the United States is really too much!
Fang Mingche said: "If you only work as an office director, your salary will not increase that much in the short term. But whether to go to the United States or not is a matter of your life. As an outsider, I really can't give advice easily. However, the Zhou family has actually made a lot of efforts to open the travel agency to this day. The telephone, and the 5,000 borrowed by your father, may soon have to add another 3,000. In addition, you have always been conscientious and loyal to your job. So, if you ask me, my advice is that if you can go abroad in the next two years, then go abroad. Stay for three to five years and get a green card. At the same time, you can save a considerable salary. When the time comes, you can send your brother or sister out, and you can use part of the money to buy a house and collect rent. At the same time, your English level will definitely improve greatly. If you are still willing to work in a travel agency at that time, your position will definitely be different."
What he gave was definitely the best solution! Go to the United States to earn money for a few years before coming back. Save 500 dollars a month, which is 6,000 dollars a year. Work for five years and come back with 30,000 dollars. The exchange rate in 1986 was about 3.5. That is more than 100,000 RMB.
If you take it all back to buy a house, you should be able to buy 400 to 500 square meters.
Of course, it is impossible to take it all back. With Lao Zhou's personality, he will probably let her leave the bulk of it to her brother or sister who stays in the United States, for the welfare of the whole family. The money you get back should be able to buy 150 square meters.
Buy three small apartments in Tuanjiehu Community and collect rent while waiting for the housing prices to rise. If you want, you can use your English advantage to continue to work as a tour guide in a travel agency. You will definitely be eligible for commissions at that time. Conservatively speaking, the income is estimated to be 300 to 500 yuan a month.
And with a green card in hand, you can keep it by swiping it in the United States every six months and you can go there at any time. This is really an OK life! A winner in life and a successful person in the eyes of the world.
Lingzi thought for a while, "Teacher Fang, thank you! This road is much more realistic than the glamorous world described to me by my father who has never been to the United States. Besides, is it really possible for Sister Qiu to go to London to work?"
Fang Mingche nodded, "Yes. What, do you want to work for a travel agency in the United States in the future?"
Lingzi said with bright eyes, "Is it possible?" This is much better than washing dishes for decades.
Fang Mingche thought about it seriously, "It's possible. When the travel agency becomes bigger, I will definitely consider setting up a branch in the United States. It's really better to use you than to use others. Okay, I will give priority to you then."
Lingzi smiled, "Then it's settled! In five years, I will go to the United States to work and earn money, and wait another five years. By then, our travel agency should have become bigger." "
The premise is that you also strive for progress in the United States. In addition to practicing English, you should also think about what else you can do to improve yourself. Also, don't take drugs!"
Lingzi said flatly, "How could I take drugs? China suffered such a big loss in the Opium War."
Fang Mingche said seriously, "You don't take the initiative to take drugs, but someone may trick you into taking them. Abroad, it's complicated! Besides, some people in the United States don't think smoking marijuana is taking drugs."
Lingzi nodded, "Well, Teacher Fang, I will remember your advice."
Fang Mingche said, "Why, are you going to the United States?"
"Since my uncle has agreed to consider it, it should have been put on the agenda. Maybe my dad will ask you to pay back the money and give me all the money. I heard that you can go to the central bank to exchange a certain amount of US dollars with a visa. Or, he will go to the black market to exchange. You should prepare in advance."
This is indeed something to be taken care of. After all, the amount that Lao Zhou borrowed is not a small amount. But it was agreed that if you want to repay the money in advance,
you must notify him at least one month in advance. "Okay, I remember it. By the way, go back and ask your dad if there is any problem with the 3,000 yuan he mentioned last time. I want to borrow it in mid-March."
Lingzi stood up, "Well, I'll ask him when I go back."
Lingzi's steps back were much lighter. She had a clear idea of the way
forward for the next few years. Fang Mingche didn't know whether she would do what she said. She went to the United States for five years. At that time, China was still very poor and backward. However, if she really improved herself in the United States, when he went to investigate the American market, he could really use her to manage the American office.
He went back to his room, and Lin Yan asked, "I saw Lingzi almost jumping up and down when she went out. What did you say to her?"
"Oh, she may go to the United States in a few months. If we go to the United States to set up an office or directly open a branch in a few years, can we use her directly? I promised to give her priority. However, this matter has not yet appeared. She hasn't said it herself, so let's not tell others first."
Lin Yan nodded, so this is the situation.
Lin's mother was taking care of Yanyan's feet next to her. After hearing this, she felt that there was no need to worry. However, Lingzi is going to the United States, which is really enviable.
The old man said to wait and see for a few more months. If Han Mei can really make things clear, the relationship between her natal family and her in-laws and her and Lin Yi's small family can be handled well. I asked my son-in-law for a favor and sent Han Mei to the travel agency office to do odd jobs.
Geng Shan weighed the eggs and vegetables tonight. I guess Han Mei saw that the office had moved, and she must have more thoughts in her mind. However, she was too confused before, so she had to wait and see for a few more months.
Well, Lingzi left at that time, and Wei Yousheng was promoted, so she just came to fill this gap. She went back to talk to Ayan about this and asked her to mention it to her son-in-law.
The next day, Cui Yingqi and Wu Mingju officially went to work and began to prepare for the business of the Japanese tour guide group. Fang Mingche told them not to worry about the car and driver, and they would be fully equipped in mid-March. In fact, he thought that the two should have money on hand, but there was no reason to borrow money from them.
In addition, he asked Teacher Qiu to measure the Japanese level of the two before going to the investment promotion office to help. Teacher Qiu has been learning Japanese by himself in the past few months. He often goes to the Japanese department of the university, and the effect is remarkable. It is estimated that he really has a talent for languages! At least, there is no problem in measuring these two people. I have to give these two people a head start. After all, it is equivalent to inviting them after three visits.
Fang Mingche took his parents out for fun as usual that day, and came back to dinner in the evening to hear the feedback from Teacher Qiu. Nowadays, Lingzi found a relatively affordable restaurant near the Overseas Chinese Apartment for lunch. In the evening, everyone would take a business car back here anyway, so they ate at Boss Cui's place as usual.
Teacher Qiu said: "Their Japanese is quite practical, and they can speak and write. I'm surprised that there are people here who know Japanese. But I've only been learning by myself for a few months, and I'm really not at the point where I can teach others. Time is running out!"
Cui Yingqi and Wu Mingju didn't live here, so they didn't come to have dinner together. So they received a dinner subsidy: 50 cents per meal!
Fang Mingche asked: "Then can they teach others? The key is to promote it. If you cook dumplings in a teapot, it won't make much sense."
He knew it in his mind, but he couldn't say it. This kind of person can never be a teacher.
Teacher Qiu said: "I'm afraid people have to learn from them to know."
Fang Mingche looked at the people eating, and the three drivers shook their heads. They didn't want to learn Japanese, and learning some simple English was already hard enough. Moreover, they didn't want to serve the Japanese. Even if they have the opportunity to switch to tour guides and earn more profit
if they learn well, they have no interest in it. Soldiers who have not been admitted to military academies through the college entrance examination generally do not have very good academic performance. It is indeed a bit embarrassing to force them to switch to learning Japanese. These three are hardworking and can endure hardships. So Fang Mingche is still relieved to let them live in the office and guard the office. Since they have no intention, forget it.
It seems that the candidate for the driver of the new car still needs to be provided by Wang Dexian.
Originally, it was said that Wei You would learn to drive and drive the new car. But he was going to take the college entrance examination again, so he was allowed to stay in the office. This way he could have more time to read.
And learning English with Teacher Qiu would also help him improve his total score in the college entrance examination. Fang Mingche has a lot of materials for learning English, and he is slowly studying them. If possible, Uncle Wei still hopes that his son can at least get a junior college degree. Then he should not be transferred.
Fang Mingche said, "Recruit externally. Hire two people to work as errand boys in the Japanese language group first. The monthly salary during the internship period is 36, and 48 after becoming a regular employee. Two meals are provided. Later on, there is a chance to be promoted to tour guide and get commission. Of course, you have to have a talent for learning Japanese. We can't always provide paid training for people. After a month or two, they need to be able to work independently. Cui Yingqi, Wu Mingju and I will interview them later."
Wei You nodded and wrote it down. This is office work, and if Lingzi is not present, it will definitely fall on him. They
went to the zoo today, and Fang Mingche put his bicycle in Master He's trunk. When they were strolling around, he pushed the two siblings, otherwise their short legs would not be able to walk. At this moment, the siblings were very happy, chattering about the animals of all sizes they saw.
Wei You also told Fang Mingche one thing, "Teacher Fang, your cousin called and invited your family to go over to his place tomorrow to play."
"Okay, I got it."
Yanyan said with bright eyes: "Are you going to see Uncle Si and Sister Tongtong?"
"Yes. Mom and Dad, let's get up early tomorrow and let a business car take us there first and pick us up in the evening."
With so many people, only a business car could be arranged, and Hei had to call two. Fortunately, the tourists were not picked up until nine o'clock, so they could leave at eight o'clock.
Fang Mingche asked his mother-in-law to go with him. My cousin is generous and hospitable. Besides, he has also been to the Lin family for dinner.
When we returned to the small courtyard, Han Mei was picking eggs here. Lingzi came over and prepared to wait to watch the "News Broadcast", and the two chatted for a while. Han Mei asked her about the situation of the Overseas Chinese Apartments.
Old Beijingers have heard of the Overseas Chinese Apartments. It's just that they can't get in and take a look. Too curious!
Lingzi told her about the situation inside, and Han Mei was stunned. She couldn't help but blurt out: "It's a really good place!"
What does it feel like to live in a place like that? This small courtyard of her sister and brother-in-law is one of the best houses she has ever seen. She thinks it is much more comfortable than the tube-shaped building. They are laying water pipes. When they are laid, she will have to buy a washing machine.
However, this Overseas Chinese Apartment sounds even better! She felt that she was really ignorant before.
After picking up the eggs, she couldn't help but talk about this with Lin's mother.
Lin's mother said: "Don't talk about you. I was shocked when I went in last night. The Overseas Chinese Apartment is so good. Lingzi is going to America, which must be a paradise."
Han Mei said: "Is Lingzi really going there?"
Lin's mother said: "I heard your brother-in-law say so, but he hasn't told anyone yet. And this kind of thing is troublesome to handle. I heard that it is not 100% possible. Even if the procedures can be completed, it will take several months to go through the process."
"I know, Mom. I won't say anything. If Lingzi leaves, will there be a vacant position in the office?" Han Mei looked at her mother-in-law eagerly.
Lin's mother nodded, "Yes, I am going to talk to your sister and let you take over. However, the final decision is still made by your brother-in-law."
Han Mei nodded repeatedly, this is great. Before, it was always said in the future, but there was no exact time, and she was a little unsure.
