Chapter 179 Growth and Development
During dinner, Fang Mingche took the two big fishes sent by his father-in-law and asked Boss Cui to process them. Father Lin also knew that there were many people eating at night, and now they had to sit at two large tables. So he asked his son to directly send the two largest ones over.
Lin Yi naturally went over as a matter of course. He sat next to Han Mei.
Today happened to be the day when August's salary was just paid, and there were bonuses. The staff of the travel agency were all very happy.
Although Fang Mingche asked everyone not to show off outside, they couldn't help but be so happy. After all, it was the first time to get a bonus of dozens or hundreds of dollars! Moreover, this is not just once, as long as the overseas office's handicraft business is good, this is a long-term thing!
This joy is really unbearable!
At this moment, they are in a private room. In addition to their own people, there is only Lin Yi, a family member. So a few people couldn't help but talk about their joy. There is no way, people always have emotions.
Although everyone didn't say the specific numbers, they didn't really know each other, unless they checked the accounts privately. But Lin Yi could still guess that they had taken several months of his salary. Han Mei did not reveal anything to him, she could not help it. Moreover, Han Mei was not considered a senior person here. Others got more than her!
Fang Mingche glanced at Lin Yi and saw that he seemed to be a little stimulated. Didn't he plan to just keep holding on to the iron rice bowl? He was still not so calm. After all, his wife's income was several times his own, and he was still able to maintain it. He was also a talent. Wasn't it because his wife was holding the jobs of his sister and brother-in-law?
Fang Mingche did not say anything and ate his meal directly. He also took care of Yanyan when she ate the fish, "Be careful, some of the bones are very small. Even if you peel off the big bones, there may still be small bones. You should taste it, don't eat it directly."
"Yeah." Yanyan was eating fish and took the time to respond.
According to the taboo list given by the teacher, fish can be eaten, so Yanyan was very open. As for other things, she would just pick them up and eat them if she wanted to, at least a little!
She originally thought that she would never be able to dance again after breaking her vow. But as long as she could burn off the calories she ate, it would be fine. At most, she could just dance more and do some boxing. She thought she could do both.
After eating and returning home, the little girl got on the scale in the small room by herself. This was bought when she was selling vegetables before. The dance teacher asked them to weigh themselves from time to time and keep a record. And what is the normal weight for this age group, so you should know it in your mind.
Oh, and height, you should also measure it frequently. Mom has a tape measure when making clothes, so she can measure it herself. Normal weight is linked to height.
"Dad, how much do I weigh?"
Fang Mingche told her casually, and then taught her how to recognize the scale. It is obvious that she will have to weigh herself frequently in the future, and it would be best if she can recognize the scale by herself.
Yanyan got down from the scale, "Dad, go up and try it."
Fang Mingche stood on it and watched her change the weights and try to recognize the scale, busy and happy.
Seeing that Yanyan was still doing addition, he couldn't tell it all at once. He said, "Remember where you are. I'm going down."
When he went out, he saw Lin Yi and Han Mei pushing a bicycle each. Fang Mingche asked casually, "Lin Yi, did you borrow this bicycle from Wei You?"
Lin Yi nodded, "Yes, I was carrying the fish out and happened to see him coming back from school." He
was not in a good mood when he spoke.
The couple rode home together, and it was hard to say whether they could get along harmoniously after returning. Fang Mingche told Lin Yan, who was holding Fang Chang, "Lin Yi seemed to be a little irritated tonight."
Lin Yan thought for a moment and remembered that today was September 15th. She had been taking care of the children at home every day, and she was a little confused.
"The income gap between Han Mei and him is a bit big. And he is the only one with the lowest salary in the full house, so he can't help but be irritated." As
lazy as Lin Yi is, he can tell Yan Yan that he has become more beautiful to please others and it is not worth it. Lin Yi, who has no time to hold back, can tell Yan Yan that he has become more beautiful to please others and it is not worth it.
However, I saw him playing cards with his co-workers before. He was like a fish in water in that environment where everyone was just idling around. The working environment of the state-owned factory and their travel agency is really different!
As a young person, Lin Yan prefers the working atmosphere of the travel agency.
She said: "This requires internal reform. The rural areas are already being reformed slowly. Can the factory not escape it?"
Fang Mingche said: "Do you think that the big pot can last under the current conditions? It is impossible to reform only the rural areas and not the factories. But it is still early. In the countryside, only some bold places are trying out the household contract responsibility system." There are still
15 months before the Central Document No. 1 is officially issued to fully promote the household contract responsibility system. After that, the reform of the rural areas will be officially and comprehensively rolled out. As for the factory, it will be a few years later. The abolition of the succession system in 1986 was the first step!
Lin Yan said, "Does that mean that workers like Lin Yi who just want to get by are the targets of reform?"
"Most likely. But fortunately, he has learned to drive. I see that he is also careful and cautious when driving. If it doesn't work out in the future, let him work as a driver in a travel agency."
Lin Yan frowned, "Just because of going abroad, he and Han Mei had two quarrels before. I don't know how long the stimulation he suffered tonight will last?"
Maybe when he returns to the factory where everyone eats from the same pot and gets by, he will soon not take it seriously. After that, he will shrink in his comfort zone and not move around here much.
Forget it, I said I don't care about my mother's family. Han Mei was so noisy, but Lin Yi was still the same. He also couldn't listen to what her sister said. And Mingche was right, at least he had a skill so he wouldn't starve to death.
In fact, Master He made a living by playing games online, and I heard that he also earned one or two hundred a month. It's just that there are many people doing business in this area, so he didn't show up.
However, if the factory really wants to reform, "will all the existing benefits be changed?"
Then even if the parents retire, they will not be able to live in peace.
Fang Mingche said: "I don't know. But the factory is burdened with heavy responsibilities now, and it is also a reason to bear these benefits. There will be more and more retired workers, and more and more people will need to allocate houses and reimburse medical expenses."
Their travel agency is now definitely lightly equipped.
He knew that Lin Yan was worried about the retirement of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, which was not a big deal. Before the large-scale layoffs of workers in 1998, the state introduced a social security system. They can transfer to social security to get pensions.
It is more difficult for my parents. The pension insurance in rural areas is one step later than that in cities. And whether it is in the city or the countryside, if the elderly get seriously ill, the reimbursement can only be based on a certain proportion, except for the last time.
Therefore, it is not easy to take care of the elderly and the children. They also have to make more preparations.
Lin Yan put Fang Chang in the cradle and let Yan Yan push him gently beside her and play with her brother.
As for the west room of the main house, a group of people were watching the "News Network" in it. Speaking of which, they don't use this TV very often. Only Yan Yan watches children's programs every day.
Fang Mingche just watches the news in the morning, noon and evening, and listens to it with a small radio if there is something. The TV programs at this time don't attract him much. China's first TV series "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp" is being filmed. "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey
to the West" are still early. Japanese TV series only began to be translated and broadcast in 1981. However, this year there is an American science fiction TV series "The Man from Atlantis" to be broadcast. Today, the unique TV station still broadcasts those old movies.
It's no wonder that a good movie with a ticket price of one or two cents can earn hundreds of millions of box office.
As for Lin Yan, she is with her young son and doesn't watch TV much. She has to take care of Fang Chang and has no time to watch. Even if she has time occasionally, she may watch it today and tomorrow. It's better not to watch it.
The couple talked about the "Personal Income Tax" law. Lin Yan said: "The tax rates for wages, dividends, and business income are different. It's not that simple."
Fang Mingche was indeed a little lazy to break down, "Let Gao Xiang and the other two professionals worry about it. He has calculated it, you can just compare it to see if it's right."
Lin Yan smiled and said: "According to this calculation, a monthly income of 800 is a high-income person, and more than 12,000 is the highest income level."
This can indeed give their family a standard, which is more detailed than the simple "ten thousand yuan household". Moreover, their family monthly income exceeds 24,000. This can't help but make people feel a sense of accomplishment!
Moreover, with such a monthly income, even if the reforms in the future really make it impossible for her parents to support themselves, she can afford it. There are also two children, and they can also give them the best education conditions. That's great!
Fang Mingche said, "Most of our dividends can't be received."
Lin Yan said, "What if Qi Shun pays taxes according to the law? Self-employed individuals will definitely have to register and issue business licenses soon. What if Qi Shun registers and pays taxes according to the requirements in the future?"
If the majority of self-employed individuals are not allowed to register in large numbers, who will be taxed? There are probably not many people who can get a fixed salary of 800 yuan a month. The salary plus benefits and allowances of the old man in the Wang family are not this much.
However, although self-employed individuals make so much money, many people still look down on self-employed individuals today. It's really hard to understand!
It's probably because it hasn't been long since those ten years, and the crime of speculation still exists. Many people may feel that it's hard to say when the wind will change again.
But they can register and obtain business licenses, and they have to pay taxes, which means that the status of self-employed individuals has been legalized.
Fang Mingche said, "Then we can only deal with him by commercial means. When the time comes, we will bring Zhu Dahai and Hu Yong together, and we will inject capital into them. Let them grow bigger and squeeze out Qi Shun's market share."
He has the wealth he has now, and he is too lazy to deal with Qi Shun himself. If he has that time, he might as well expand the travel agency and make more money.
But it is absolutely not okay to not take revenge! Only by hitting once can we avoid a hundred punches. Sometimes, the principles of conduct for individuals and countries are the same.
The five guys in the slum next door should respect and fear him now, which is just right. When the time comes, everyone will set up a joint-stock company. Well, it is better to call it a collectively owned enterprise, which is more in line with the characteristics of the times.
His capital injection will definitely make this collective enterprise fully funded. The scale can be expanded and model operation can be carried out to reduce costs. At that time, they will definitely make more money. They will get more dividends if they participate in direct management. As long as they make more money than now, they will definitely agree.
Lin Yan thought about it and said, "This is fine!"
Not only can she vent her anger at being cheated by Qi Shun, but she can also continue to make money from the vegetable business by cooperating with Zhu Dahai and Hu Yong. Now that the big bowl tea stall business is back, after deducting the cost and Mingcheng's salary, the net profit is five or six hundred a month. It's even better to continue to make money from the vegetable business!
Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng also received their first salary today. In August, they only had 24 yuan for the internship period. But Fang Mingche provided them with food and accommodation. Only breakfast was paid by themselves, and the two of them bought ingredients directly in the kitchen of the small side yard to cook.
All in all, there was a surplus of 20 yuan a month. This is also a very high income for farmers.
Not to mention, they will all get 36 yuan after being regularized in September. Fang Mingcheng will take care of the tea stall and will get a 10% commission after being regularized. Han Ping works as a driver in a travel agency and also gets a commission when he leads a group. The two of them may get nearly 100 or even more than 100 yuan by then.
Fang Mingche estimated that they would want to remit the money home after getting it, so he went over and knocked on the door of the west room before going to bed.
At this moment, the people who finished watching the TV series just carried their stools away. These two should still be watching the "Evening News" and are not in a hurry to go to bed. As for the west room, as long as the two of them don't dislike it or are not afraid, they can continue to live there. Anyway, it is usually empty. In this way, they can save five yuan in rent every month.
Moreover, now the whole small courtyard is theirs, and they won't be as cramped as when Qiu Yin and his daughter squeezed in the small room in the east wing.
Han Ping came to open the door, "Mingche, is there something wrong?"
"Are you two going to prepare to send money back home?" Fang Mingche walked into the room and spoke directly.
Fang Mingcheng came over, "Yes. We plan to send 15 yuan each."
"What are you going to tell your family?"
Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng looked at each other, "Just tell the truth. You told us before that the probation period is 24 yuan a month. After the probation period, it will be 36 yuan."
This basic salary is actually not too high. Fang Mingche was a teacher in the village primary school, and his salary with six years of seniority was this amount. So when he reported it back, the people in his hometown didn't react much. At most, they provide food and lodging, which is equivalent to netting so much.
However, they are educated and can speak Mandarin, so they will not be found as vagrants on the street. And they have also learned to drive a tractor. These two conditions can make many people back off.
Fang Mingche nodded, "Send 15 yuan this month, what about next month?"
"The original plan was 25." But now there is a very generous commission, so he may send a little more.
Fang Mingche said, "Then send it as you originally planned. If you want to send more, you can go back for the New Year and send it back in one go. Don't make it public. You can see that I can't accommodate too many people here. If you really want to, just like you, you can learn to drive a tractor. Otherwise, if you don't have any special skills and come to the capital to find me, I can't settle you down."
If someone really learned to drive a tractor, he would definitely accept him. First, this is a good attitude, and second, it proves that you have the talent to learn to drive.
Fang Mingche definitely welcomes his brothers and classmates who are motivated. But if they knew that the bonus for these two would be higher than their salary from the second month, then anyone would come. There are even people who are about the same age but older than him, who have no special skills and just want to work in the capital for a salary. It is much easier than working in the fields.
Nowadays, travel agencies are not without connections. For example, the two in front of them are only junior high school students. They are not qualified in terms of education! Well, rural veterans may also be junior high school students. But they are all retired car soldiers, and they have a skill.
And Xiao Xie, who only went to elementary school for four years. Han Mei is a high school student, and they can't be counted as relatives. However, these relatives behaved well. But
if a group of people came from his hometown, yes, a group, it shouldn't be just one or two. That's because the forest is big, and there will be all kinds of birds.
Fang Mingche said: "And those people will definitely ask me to provide accommodation when they come. You know the situation of the room you live in. If a group of people come again, I won't be able to accommodate them." Since they
are all surnamed Fang, they will think that he should take care of them. Moreover, Xie Ting and the two black people in front of him, people like Aunt Yuan can still pretend not to know. If a group of people surnamed Fang come again, it will be impossible for them to pretend.
But people in his hometown will not consider so much. They heard that the salary and bonus are high, so they might come directly. When they come, they will stay at his house, and they will naturally think that he has the obligation to settle them.
Travel agencies and scrap yards cannot arrange jobs for so many people, and they also think that you have the obligation to find other jobs for them. If you find a bad job, people will not be happy. If you can't find a suitable job for a while, then you can live and eat at your house.
Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng looked at each other, they also thought that this should be the development. Although the harvest in the countryside is good now, it is still not comparable to their income in the city. They talked about it privately, and they also felt that they were right to learn to drive a tractor, and then take the initiative to find Fang Mingche and follow him to
the capital. Fang Mingche said: "Now that the production has just been implemented, we also need young main workers to farm at home. I heard that the rice mill in the village was recruiting workers before, and everyone rushed in. They all want to be workers, not farmers. How can there be so many positions?"
The secretary called him, after all, he is also one of the shareholders. It is said that even if there is a good harvest, there are still so many people who don't want to farm, thinking that farming is too hard. But the scale of the rice mill is currently that big!
On the contrary, the few companies that contracted the fish ponds in the village borrowed books related to fisheries in the reading room every day. The fish they raise are jumping around in the fish ponds every day. The sales are not bad!
He also talked about his student Xu Sheng, who came back from the capital and drove a tractor to the countryside to collect vegetables, eggs, chickens, ducks and fish. It seemed that he was going to set up a vegetable stall.
Oh, not only that, he also had a lot of goods imported from the black market, and it was equivalent to a grocery store + vegetable stall.
The secretary was distressed. Why couldn't the villagers think of a solution for themselves?
Fang Mingche said to the secretary at that time, "So, the masses need guidance."
But Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng's income might exceed 100 yuan next month, so he couldn't stay calm! Hurry up and tell them not to send too much money home.
Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng nodded, "Okay, we listen to you. In the future, we will send a maximum of 25 yuan back, and we will talk about the extra money during the Chinese New Year."
Fang Mingche said, "Sending 25 back a month is about right. Rural areas don't spend much money, and it's enough for my wife, children, and parents. For the rest, I advise you to save it and buy a house in BJ later."
"How can we afford a house?" The two blurted out.
"I'm not asking you to buy one in Tuanjiehu Community. It costs more than 8,000 yuan there, and you really can't afford it. But a courtyard house in this city costs more than 1,000 yuan, so why can't you save up money to buy one? Besides, your salary and commission will definitely increase with the travel agency in the future. If it really doesn't work out, you can borrow money from me to buy it first."
The two looked at each other. They were planning to send money back home to build a red brick house. Nowadays, it only costs five or six hundred yuan to build a three-room main house with a back house and a wing on each side. With their income after becoming regular employees, half a year is enough.
But if they can buy a house in the capital, they can also bring their children to study like Fang Mingche and Fang Mingfeng. That would be great. Look at Yanyan and Tongtong, they are different from other girls of the same age in the village.
The high tuition fee of two hundred yuan a year is not something they can't afford based on their monthly income. If they can buy two rooms at a price of more than one thousand yuan per room, they can bring their wives and children over. As for the house in the countryside, it's not impossible to continue living there. Or they can buy a house in the capital first and then build a new house in their hometown.
The two people were excited by what Fang Mingche said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
That's right, sending too much money back would be showing off. Fang Mingche didn't dare to show off his wealth too much. Although he donated one thousand yuan and invested another one thousand yuan when he went back this year, he also told people that he still had two thousand yuan in debt.
This debt is real, and everyone in the compound knows about it. At the end of September, he will have to pay back another 1,000 to Grandpa Gu. Moreover, Mr. Cui, the owner of the restaurant, also lent 5,000 to the travel agency. By the way, I heard that he had previously mortgaged his car to the bank for a loan of 30,000.
Fang Mingcheng said, "Mingche, don't worry, I understand. When someone in my hometown asks about it, I will tell them all about your debts."
Fang Mingche nodded, "Okay, that's it. You guys go to bed early!"
It's better not to hammer the drum! There are so many laborers in my hometown, so I'd better solve it in the village first. For the time being, he can only bring out the people he likes step by step. He doesn't want to be the so-called leader or the scapegoat!
The 23rd of this month is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Now that the travel agency is doing well, Fang Mingche asked Lingzi to go to the mooncake factory to order mooncakes per person. In addition to sending them to everyone in Beijing, they will also be sent to Tokyo and London with the goods. Being a stranger in a foreign land, you miss your family all the more during every festive occasion.
Although it is a makeshift team, it must gradually move towards the path of a regular army.
Lingzi still picked the more high-end mooncakes with egg yolks. On the afternoon of the 23rd, Fang Mingche personally distributed them to everyone in the small side courtyard. One for each person!
Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan also received some, and a few more were passed on to Geng Chen and others through them this morning. Even the eldest sister who cooked and Uncle Xia who kept watch each received one. As for the scavengers who ate with them, each of them could receive one.
Everyone was very happy, "Thank you, Teacher Fang!"
After distributing them all, Fang Mingche picked up two more and put them in the basket, and handed them to Yanyan, "Send them to your sister Qin Hua's family, and say that they are benefits from Uncle Wang. I wish them a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"
"Oh, okay." Yanyan rolled up the small basket and walked towards the large courtyard where the Qin family was.
Han Mei also received a double portion, and the other one was given to her father-in-law and mother-in-law for the festival.
As for tonight, Fang Mingfeng's family of three were picked up to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together. Since Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng were still here, Lin Yan did not go back to her parents' home.
When it was time to admire the moon in the evening, the cousin's wife took a mooncake and split it, and gave the other half to Brother Mingfeng.
Then she casually said, "Ayan, I took Tongtong to the cinema to watch a movie a few days ago. I saw Wu Zhiqing seemed to have quarreled with her husband. She was carrying things back to her parents' home with red eyes. She was told not to come back after leaving."
The tube building where the cinema was located was nearby. She was late and took a short distance, so she happened to run into them.
The cinema where Wu Dan worked was state-owned and very large. The cousin's wife thought that the screen was more comfortable to watch, and she was willing to go there to watch movies by car.
Lin Yan said, "I haven't heard of this."
The cousin's wife said, "Wu Zhiqing's personality, if she is doing well, she must want everyone to know. If she is not doing well, she will first hide it from you educated youth who are with her. I also thought of this, and quickly took Tongtong to hide in the alley and didn't let her see. I don't know what caused such a big quarrel!"
Wu Dan has been in the village for so many years, and the villagers still know her well. The three brothers of the Fang family and Han Ping nodded.
Lin Yan thought for a moment, "When Changchang was 100 days old, Wu Dan came to drink the 100-day wine. Mingche told her not to just send money back. I heard that Ma Xiaodan is not doing well in the countryside. Could it be because of this?"
Fang Mingfeng looked over, "The New Marriage Law was introduced a few days ago, which clearly proposed to implement family planning. Wu Zhiqing had a Ma Xiaodan before, and I heard that the man now has a son and a daughter. Their family can't get a birth permit. I'm afraid they want to bring Ma Xiaodan back."
Even if Old Zhou agreed, Wu Dan couldn't have another child. And just hearing Fang Mingche say that, she would definitely want to bring the only child in her life to her side.
As for whether Ma Xiaodan would have a Beijing hukou after coming, it is not within the scope of consideration for the time being. Otherwise, she would work and earn a salary, either raising a stepson or a stepdaughter, or raising Ma Baoguo's youngest son!
Old Zhou's family wanted Wu Dan to be a workhorse, and bring her own food. They would definitely not easily agree to her bringing her daughter to the capital.
Fang Mingche raised his eyebrows, "If Old Zhou can't deprive Wu Dan of her job, then Wu Dan will most likely succeed."
Wu Dan is not a housewife, she works to earn a salary. However, this regular office job was obtained after marrying Old Zhou. She was just a temporary worker selling movie tickets before.
That's why Old Zhou's family thinks that she should take out the extra salary and spend it on the Zhou family.
Lin Yan said, "If I were her, I would even get a divorce and return to being a temporary worker. Otherwise, the extra money would not be spent on my own flesh and blood." You have to be stupid to raise children for others. What's the point?
My cousin's wife nodded, "You should be tough."
Fang Mingche nodded and said, "Otherwise, the stepson and stepdaughter are in junior high school and can't support the family."
From the few words heard at the previous gathering of educated youth, we can know that the two and their father are not easy to deal with.
Lin Yan thought for a while and said, "With Wu Dan's personality, she will not sit still and wait for death. If Lao Zhou uses that formal job as a threat, she will definitely go to the Women's Federation to make a decision for her. Moreover, the job is given by the government, not a private thing. Wu Dan is making a fuss, Lao Zhou will definitely not dare to deprive her at will. He is a small leader, so he should cherish his feathers!"
Because he values this leadership position, he will definitely not have more children. He has no shortage of children!
The cousin's wife is obviously very interested in the development of the matter. She pushed Brother Mingfeng, "Aren't you going to call your parents back to say hello? Go and call now."
Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the second uncle will not close the video hall. Business is the best during festivals. So, tonight it must be the second aunt and Minghui who will go to accompany him to the county town to celebrate the festival.
If I call now, the call will be received by my uncle at the guard room of the cultural center.
As they slept in the same bed, Mingfeng naturally knew that his wife wanted him to find out if the villagers knew about this matter. He also felt that with Wu Zhiqing's personality, she would not only focus on one thing. Moreover, if she wanted to bring Ma Xiaodan to the capital, she must get Ma Baoguo's consent.
However, the obstacle now is the ten yuan she sent back every month. Without her daughter, there will be no child support. Ten yuan a month is not a small amount in the countryside. Ma Baoguo and his wife may not be willing to let go. When they have the baby, they will need money.
"Okay, I'll go ask."
Fang Mingche had called back in the afternoon and asked his father to pick up the phone at the town post office at the agreed time.
Last time, he asked the village secretary who called him when the village would install a telephone. The secretary said that he could consider it when the rice mill made money and expanded in scale. Nowadays, more and more people in the village are working outside, so it is also possible to install a telephone for use as a public telephone.
After a while, Fang Mingfeng came back from Lingzi's house after making a phone call. Everyone present looked at him, even Yanyan and Tongtong.
Yanyan didn't remember Ma Xiaodan very well before, but she heard from her parents that she and Ma Xiaodan used to play well together. Fang Tong and Ma Xiaodan were also companions who had hosted the aunt's banquet together. Just now, the adults were saying that family planning was a good thing for Ma Xiaodan. They didn't quite understand, but they just knew it was a good thing.
Fang Mingfeng said: "Wu Dan has written a letter to Ma Baoguo, saying that now they are going to implement family planning, and she can't have any more children. She wants to bring Ma Xiaodan to the capital. Ma Baoguo ignored the first letter, so she wrote a second one. She said that if Ma Baoguo didn't agree, she would not send child support in the future. She also wrote a letter to the branch secretary, saying that she heard that her daughter was not doing well and wanted to get the custody back. Please help her! If there is any need for her in the village in the future, I will never refuse to do it within my ability."
Fang Mingche said: "Then she is not bad. She didn't sell me out."
The timing was right. It happened to be the time when the "New Marriage Law" was issued. In order to avoid arguing with Ma Baoguo and bring her daughter over as soon as possible, Wu Dan didn't mention that he was not good to her daughter. Moreover, in the eyes of rural people, what's wrong with not beating or scolding and doing more work? Even Fang Fang said that Ma Baoguo and his wife didn't deliberately abuse her.
However, since Fang Mingche said it, he was actually not afraid that Ma Baoguo would blame him for being too talkative. Love your own children, and love other people's children as well! Ma Xiaodan always called him "Uncle Fang" with a sweet mouth.
Fang Mingcheng said: "Wu Zhiqing is not the kind of person who would sacrifice or take risks for his daughter, but he is definitely concerned about his only flesh and blood."
Before leaving, the cousin's wife said to Lin Yan: "I'll tell you later if there is any further news."
"Okay."
Fang Mingfeng and Fang Mingche looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Women are very concerned about these things.
The biggest thing at the end of September is to buy a car, and buying a car requires a driver. Gao Xiang, Xiao Hu and Xiao Gang went together. Xiao Gang also passed the driver's license recently. Travel agencies now have only a few people who can't drive, anyway, all the expenses are covered.
Xiao Gang's choice is the same as Wei You before, working while reading and reviewing by himself. The proportion of English scores will increase from 30% this year to 50% next year. He also plans to practice hard for a year to significantly increase his English scores. It is not as easy to make great progress in other subjects as English. The key is that other students do not have such unique conditions as him to learn English.
Of course, Fang Mingche arranged for him to go too, so that he can play a supervisory role. One hundred and five thousand, a huge sum of money!
Although I know that Gao Xiang would not abandon his mother, wife, and college student status and run away with the money. But there should still be some supervision.
Before leaving, he also talked to Xiao Gang about everything.
Xiao Gang nodded to show that he understood, "Brother-in-law, don't worry."
When Gao Xiang came over, Lin Yan took out the passbook and gave it to Gao Xiang.
The passbook must be kept by Lin Yan. She felt heartbroken when she thought about the hard-earned money. A huge sum of money would be lost in the account all of a sudden.
This is the money that I saved for half a year after buying a car in April!
It was only in the three months of July, August and September that I increased the business of selling handicrafts and achieved a profit of about 25,000. About 1,000 was handed over to the Ministry of Culture every month, and another 1,500 was taken out to give bonuses to meritorious people. There were only 60,000 to 70,000 left.
In the first three months, there was only 15,000 per month, which was enough to stay in the account. So this time, after taking out 150,000, there were only a few thousand left to look after (there was still a surplus of several thousand in April).
After Gao Xiang took the passbook away, Fang Mingche looked at Lin Yan's expression as if she had been cut off and smiled: "Don't worry, the numbers on it will increase."
This obsessive-compulsive disorder is getting worse and worse.
Lin Yan said: "This is spent too quickly! I have to spend another 5,000 yuan to install a telephone during the National Day holiday."
"In the future, I can go to Lao Zhou's house to call the office without running around."
Lin Yan muttered: "I dare not go far in the future. In case a customer calls Lao Zhou, I can still answer it at home."
In the future, the printing of promotional brochures will no longer print Lao Zhou's phone number. But the previous customers may still call this old number.
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Lin Yan said: "Compared to others, I am much better."
She only took care of the children. However, after the National Day holiday, she had to take time to read. Otherwise, she was worried that she would not be able to keep up with the progress next semester. By the time school starts, Changchang will have been nine months old.
After the three commercial vehicles of the same model were driven back, they drove directly to the Overseas Chinese Apartment.
The two cars that were rented before were returned to the Investment Promotion Office one month in advance. Wang Dexian's leader said that the rent for this month would be returned to them, but Fang Mingche confiscated it. There were things that needed help from others before and after.
Apart from other things, these three new cars still had to be registered. The business license issued by the Ministry of Culture was indeed a license to set up stalls. It was just for transporting goods, and there was no need to buy so many cars. It was unreasonable. Nowadays, gasoline is still a scarce resource, and it is not necessary to buy a car.
Of the three people who were interviewed in Tokyo before, one returned in September. He has been following Cui Yingqi for more than half a month, and this time he will be a tour guide on his own.
The other two are not as outgoing as Ma Nanshan who came back. Their own willingness is not strong. Fang Mingche's preference after the interview was also Ma Nanshan.
After he came back, Fang Mingche promised him that if he could do the job well, he would be promoted to deputy team leader on New Year's Day. After all, this is a job that can be started directly without much training.
On the day the car came back, Fang Mingche and Lin Yan brought their children, and Wang Dexian also brought Yangmei to the parking lot of the Overseas Chinese Apartment to pick up the car. Only one person in the office upstairs was left to answer the phone, and everyone else came down.
These four business cars are the travel agency's largest assets at present! Oh, no, the first one is still mortgaged to the bank and cannot be considered an asset. But the three cars are indeed there.
Wang Dexian said happily: "We opened at the end of November last year, and it has been exactly eleven months now."
The average net profit is 10,000 per month!
Fang Mingche touched his chin, and two of the cars here are his.
"Old Wang, how are the courtyards going?"
Now he can directly get two cars for mortgage loans, and then lend them to himself to buy a large courtyard. This is almost enough to build a courtyard with two or three entrances!
Wang Dexian said, "It needs to have clear property rights, be well preserved, and be willing to sell. It's not easy to find! Moreover, the price of Siheyuan is expected to rise, and the increase is not small. There are many returned overseas Chinese who want to buy it, but they have to be considered first. In the past, many Siheyuans were basically occupied by old comrades. They like courtyards with sky and land, and don't like living in buildings. This kind of house can't be vacated."
Fang Mingche said, "Then as long as the property rights are clear and they are willing to sell it to me, it's fine. Try to be closer to Tiananmen Square."
Wang Dexian nodded, "Okay, I'll ask more people to help you find out. How many people are there in your family? Isn't a small courtyard enough to live in?"
"I want to bring my parents and three nephews and nieces. And didn't you say that Siheyuan is expected to rise in value! Even if there are new houses built in the future, can they compare with the old houses? The key is that there is no vacant land near Tiananmen Square for people to build?"
Wang Dexian thought that it made sense. Siheyuans have risen sharply in the past year. It is estimated that it is profitable to buy this. No wonder Xiao Fang was so concerned.
Alas, he has two commercial vehicles, and he can get a loan of 60,000 yuan by mortgaging them. He doesn't have that much money!
Fang Mingche said, "Then why don't you mention that you were promoted to deputy section chief within a year? Compared with a career, what is money? Besides, you have the advantage of both ends."
Wang Dexian smiled, that's right.
Fang Mingche was also happy when he saw the three new cars, "Let's go, let Lao Cui prepare some snacks tonight, and we'll have a good drink."
"Okay!"
