Chapter 111 Final Decision
Zhang family.
In the dim light.
"Mom and Dad, eldest brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, are you worried that if you open a shop and become a boss, you will be regarded as a profiteer?" Although Zhang Xiuping could not see the expressions of her parents and brothers and sisters-in-law, she roughly understood their thoughts and concerns without even looking.
Zhang Zhenfa sighed, "I do have concerns about this. If I don't handle this well, I might end up in jail. I have to worry about it!"
Mrs. Zhang said, "Pingmei, you know what happened a few years ago. Although we have reform and opening up, we rural people don't understand the national policies. We don't know if we will be regarded as speculators if we open a shop and become a boss now."
Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, we don't understand the national policy. We only know that the country didn't allow us ordinary people to do business before. Now I heard that it is allowed, but I don't know if it is true or not. Will there be a reversal?"
Zhang Xiuping said: "There won't be any more recurrences. Now the country has introduced policies to encourage us farmers to start businesses. I don't know the details, but my father-in-law said that if you really want to open a store and do business, you can go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to ask if you can get a legal business license. With this license, you can do business with peace of mind without having to worry."
Zhang Zhenfa was surprised and asked, "Can you get a certificate to operate a business legally?"
Zhang Xiuping said, "I heard it's possible. We can ask the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to find out if it's really possible."
Zhang Shouguo said: "If we can get this legal business license, we don't have to worry about being charged with speculation. But we haven't even sold eggs, so what can we do as a boss?"
Zhang Xiuping said: "There are so many things you can do with a store. You can sell agricultural products, food, fruit, or you can set up a supply and marketing department like the brigade to sell all kinds of things. In short, as long as you open a store and do business, you will definitely make money."
Zhang's mother asked, "Xiuping, is this what your father-in-law told you?"
Zhang's mother knew her daughter's worth very well, and she knew that with her daughter's knowledge, she would definitely not be able to say such words.
Zhang Xiuping did not deny it and nodded, "Yes, this is exactly what my father-in-law told me when we were chatting yesterday. I am now telling you, brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, you can think about it carefully and see which way is right.
In short, no matter which path you choose, it is better than working in a tile factory for a few dozen yuan."
Zhang Shouguo and his wife, and Zhang Shoumin and his wife fell into deep thought after hearing this.
Zhang Zhenfa was also considering that the two paths his daughter mentioned each had their own advantages and risks.
Compared to opening a shop and being a boss, Zhang Zhenfa actually prefers to engage in planting or breeding, because planting and breeding are old business for rural people, and anyone can know a thing or two, but if he opens a shop and becomes a boss, nine out of ten rural people will feel guilty.
His in-laws are currently engaged in lychee planting, which proves that they are most optimistic about the prospects of lychee planting.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhenfa asked, "Xiuping, how many lychee trees does your father-in-law plan to plant in this orchard? How much money has he invested in total?"
Zhang Xiuping said, "My father-in-law has reserved 1,000 lychee saplings. Because he hired someone to help him cultivate the orchard, and he also needed to hire someone to take care of the orchard later, the cost was a bit higher. Before the lychees bear fruit, it would cost more than 1,500 yuan."
hiss……
Everyone couldn't help but gasp when they heard it.
Fifteen hundred yuan is really a huge sum of money in today's era. After all, even if Zhang Zhenfa sold his daughter for a high price (among the Hakka people in Bobai, marrying off a daughter is also called selling a daughter), he only sold her for one thousand yuan.
Seeing that everyone in the family was shocked, Zhang Xiuping quickly said, "If you just buy the saplings and do all the other work yourself, it will only cost 700 to 800 yuan, not 1,500 yuan."
Zhang Zhenfa exhaled and said, "Even if it's only 700 or 800 yuan, it's not a small amount. If anything goes wrong, it will be the end of us!"
Zhang Xiuping said: "If you want to invest less, then open a store."
Zhang Shoumin thought about it, but couldn't make up his mind, so he simply asked, "Pingmei, in your opinion, what do you think is appropriate for me and my brother to do?"
Zhang Shouguo also couldn't figure it out, so he echoed: "Yes, Pingmei, why don't you help us make the decision!"
Mrs. Zhang Dasao and Mrs. Zhang Ersao looked at each other and said nothing.
Letting the sister-in-law help make a choice is a good thing for them. If everything goes well, there is nothing to say. Even if something unexpected happens, the sister-in-law will not stand idly by and will be willing to help their family.
Zhang Xiuping naturally didn't know what her two sisters-in-law were thinking, but she always kept in mind what her father-in-law said to her.
My father-in-law said: "Sister Ping, when you help your brothers, you only need to provide them with the two options I just told you. Let them make the rest of the choices themselves. You'd better not make decisions for them.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
If they really can't make up their minds, then you can let them open a store on Longtan Street, specializing in selling agricultural products. Even if they can't make a lot of money, they will definitely not lose money. This is the safest business."
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiuping said, "Big Brother, Second Brother, if you let me make a decision for you, then I suggest you open a store in Longtan Street, specializing in selling agricultural products. This kind of store doesn't require much investment, and there is basically no risk of losing money. It depends on whether you want to do it!"
Zhang Shouguo asked, "Xiuping, we have no experience in business, is it really possible to open a store and sell things?"
Zhang Xiuping smiled and said, "Why not? Who knows how to do business right after birth? You can learn by doing. As long as you can read and do math, there will be no problem. If you really want to do it, send me back in three days and then you can talk to my father-in-law about it. He is knowledgeable and should be able to give you some advice."
Zhang Zhenfa took over the conversation and said, "I think what Xiuping said makes sense. No one is born knowing how to do business. Since there is no risk of losing money by opening a store to sell agricultural products, you brothers should do this. It would be best if you can make money. Even if you can't, you will have experience in doing business, and it will be easier to do other things later."
He was originally more optimistic about planting and breeding, but when he heard his daughter say that there was no risk of losing money in opening a store selling agricultural products, his balance tilted towards that end.
For him, no matter what he does, the most important thing is to protect his capital and never lose money.
Zhang's mother nodded and said, "You can give it a try. Tomorrow, Shouguo, you can go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to ask if you can get a certificate. This way, you will feel more at ease when doing business!"
With their sister's recommendation and their parents' unanimous approval, the Zhang brothers, who were originally undecided, stopped thinking about it and nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Zhang Dasao and Mrs. Zhang Ersao had no objection either.
