First update
Xie Hongni lifted her hair and went to Hong Kong Island. She had her hair permed into trendy curls and changed into a blue dress. She was not dazzled by the prosperity of Hong Kong Island, but it gave her the idea of starting a business.
"Little sister, I plan to invest several million to open a small electrical appliance factory, mainly producing washing machines and refrigerators."
"I'm not aimless. I've contacted the Feng family. I have a few connections there. They're all in the electrical appliance business. Don't worry about getting started. I have ways to import machines and technology."
Instead of talking about the trivial matters of her sister Feng Minglan, Xie Hongni's tone became more excited when talking about making money, as if she was full of ambition and ready to do something.
Qin Yao became interested when she learned that it was an electrical appliance factory: "This is a huge investment, aren't you in a hurry?"
"No, a writer once said that one should become famous as early as possible, and one should also start doing business as early as possible. Foreign capital is scrambling to seize the market, and we cannot show weakness. This is a great opportunity, so let's seize the moment." Xie Hongni has targeted the blank electrical appliance market. In the next few years, people's demand for washing machines, refrigerators, and televisions will be huge.
Qin Yao: "Sister-in-law, you have a good eye. I think after a few years, the four major items for marriage will change. In the past, they were sewing machines and radios, but now they are washing machines and televisions. Without these things, you can't agree to get married."
Xie Hongni nodded: "It's not just me who's interested. Haven't you seen so many factories being set up? The competition will be fierce in the future. But I'm not afraid. I have to ask you, are you still going to get involved?"
"According to my plan, all the profits in the first few years will be used to expand reproduction and rapid expansion, so the dividends will be less, or even no dividends..."
Qin Yao: "Third sister-in-law underestimates me. I am not the kind of short-sighted person."
She knew her third sister-in-law's plan. If she wanted to make the industry bigger and stronger, she must expand madly in the early stages and seize the market. I don’t know how many electrical appliance factories were opened this year. At its peak, there were hundreds of brands, but in the end, only a few well-known big names remained.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t get a lot of profits in the first few years. You can give the saved shares to your children.
"Okay, Yaoyao, you are also a good businessman." Qin Yao's words gave Xie Hongni a reassurance. Such a partner is the most valuable. In the first few years of starting a business, how many people can resist the urge to distribute dividends and expand reproduction?
When her ancestors started their business, they were determined to expand it and used all the profits for expansion. However, their partners did not understand and were all eager to divide the money. It was their ancestors who overcame all objections and even gradually bought out all the shares. Only then did they implement the "expansion" strategy and became the top in the industry.
Those who spent all their profits and dividends and were reluctant to expand reproduction have become increasingly deteriorating, their technology has been eliminated, their factories have been merged and acquired, and they have long since become the sand of the times.
Of course, Xie Hongni said that she loves such "mud and sand", which will contribute to her career in the future.
The cost of building a new factory is much higher than the cost of acquiring a bankrupt factory.
Kill off your competitors, merge and acquire, and become bigger and stronger!
"In the early stage, my plan is to invest 5 million to build a factory and buy equipment..."
Qin Yao contributed 1.5 million, accounting for 30% of the shares, and Xie Hongni contributed the remaining 3.5 million, accounting for 70% of the shares. Neither of them can come up with so much money now, but building a factory is a matter of two days, and the funds will be in place slowly.
Based on the current monthly profit of the journal, Qin Yao will be able to come up with this money within half a year.
Xie Hongni also started a small business in Hong Kong Island, and with the money borrowed from relatives, she was able to raise a total of 3.5 million.
Qin Yao opened her mouth and said, "Third sister-in-law, you borrowed three million?"
"Yeah." Xie Hongni nodded calmly.
Qin Yao didn't know whether to sigh that it was great to have a rich relative, or to marvel at the courage of her third sister-in-law. She only said, "She is so courageous!"
Not to mention the three million now, even forty years later, in 2020, there will be very few young people in their twenties who dare to borrow three million to start a business.
Such people, if they don't succeed, will turn into ashes. However, most successful entrepreneurs have such experiences. Money makes money the fastest. If you wait until you have saved up several million before starting a business, it will be too late.
"If you fail, the worst that can happen is you start over again." Xie Hongni curled her lips and smiled. She was beautiful, with her almond-shaped eyes tilted up, like a peacock with its wings spread, arrogant and confident.
Qin Yao poured them a cup of fresh tea: "What did Third Brother say?"
"He is just a simple boy and always listens to me." Xie Hongni said, and a hint of shyness appeared on her originally domineering face.
That big guy has all kinds of problems, but there's nothing to complain about him: he's responsible, brave, and listens to her without being nagging. If you meet someone who is timid and irresponsible and only cares about this and that, you will be so annoyed!
“What if we lose money?” “If we go bankrupt in the end, how will our family survive?” “Why do you, a woman, have to argue so much? Can’t we just live an ordinary life?”... These words are not wrong, but how can you accomplish anything if you keep worrying about this and that? Talking about it will only add to your troubles and end up drifting away.
"You guys should put a lid on the pot that matches your appearance." Qin Yao covered her mouth and laughed secretly. This third sister-in-law only showed the demeanor of a little girl when she talked about the third brother. She loved the third brother so much.
Even she, as a younger sister, envied her strong and handsome third brother. She wondered how many lifetimes of blessings he must have accumulated to have such a beautiful woman fall in love with him.

Xie Hongni made money to prepare for setting up a factory, and Qin Yao's magazine was running in full swing, earning hundreds of thousands of advertising fees every month. Not to mention making a fortune, by 1980, she was already a millionaire.
One million may seem like a lot, but it is nothing in the international arena. Those luxury cars, jewels and antiques can cost millions.
Time passed like flowing water, and it was 1980, officially entering the 1980s, which was the eighth year since Qin Yao came here.
When they returned to the capital to celebrate the New Year this year, they did not choose to take a plane. Instead, the family took a long-distance train with sleeper berths. Qin Yao wanted to experience the New Year atmosphere on the train, and the two children also did not like planes as they found it boring.
The two brothers are about to turn six years old, and they have suddenly become two little laborers. Gu Cheng carries a bag on his back and two boxes of luggage in his hands. The two children are not much behind, with a lot of things on their backs and in their hands.
Only Qin Yao had nothing in her hands.
"Are you tired? If you are, ask mom to help you with it." Qin Yao wrapped her coat around her, looked around at the hurried passengers, and felt embarrassed for her empty hands.
Mingming shook his head: "I'm not tired. Dad said that this is what a man should do. Even if you are tired, you can't let mom take it. You have to take it yourself!"
"Mom, our sixth birthday is coming soon. We are not kids anymore!" Ruirui, who is usually quite calm, also seemed extremely excited.
Six years old is a hurdle. When a child reaches six or seven years old, he or she is much more mature and sensible than before and has become a little adult.
"Yeah, our two children are really awesome." Comrade Xiao Qin clapped his hands and hummed a few compliments to his sons.
In Guangzhou's winter, there is no ice and snow, no freezing cold. In this winter scene that is not really winter, even though the leaves are green everywhere, the air is still a little chilly, and a damp chill seeps into the clothes, making them sticky.
"There are so many people at the train station. Stay next to your mother so you don't get separated." Gu Cheng went to check the time and platform chart, and bought a few hot meat buns. This year, some people were already eating instant noodles in the waiting room, making everyone drool.
Instant noodles have become a good thing of "light luxury" these days. They smell good, are fragrant and tempting, but they are not delicious. They smell good but taste like chewing wax.
One pack is ok, but the second pack... not so ok.
"Mom, I want instant noodles!"
The two unrestrained kids were immediately attracted by the aroma of instant noodles. Qin Yao glanced at her watch and said, "It's too late. Buy two packs and soak them in the car."
The two kids cheered.
When I arrived at the platform to board the train, I was surprised to find that at Yangcheng Railway Station, more people got off the train than got on, and more people left the station than entered. Countless people were crowding south to pan for gold.
"Be careful, you're next to my parents." Qin Yao frowned. There were so many people and pickpockets. Even without using the perspective skill, she still found three or four thieves.
With the open economy, even thieves have become rich.
Three beds were bought for the sleeper berth, and the entire three floors were her home. The train started, and Qin Yao sat against the window, feeling dizzy. The child clamored for instant noodles, so Gu Cheng made a bowl for him.
Instant noodles have a unique smell, fragrant and pungent, like the smell of meat, but if you smell it a few more times it becomes nauseating and disgusting, like a sweet and fishy smell mixed with plastic.
Qin Yao sniffed twice and somehow felt nauseous. She covered her mouth with a tissue and retched a few times.
"Why, you feel uncomfortable?"
She raised her eyes and met Gu Cheng's concerned eyes. Her heart warmed up, but then she felt something was wrong. At first she thought it was gastroenteritis, but then she thought about her period and couldn't help but widen her eyes.
It was a busy end of the year, and the editorial department was publishing two issues together during the Spring Festival month. Qin Yao was busy planning and preparing the content herself. She only finished her work a few days ago and handed it over to Mao Lina and the others, and spent the New Year with peace of mind.
I even forgot that I hadn't visited my relatives for two months.
"It's over..." Her head was a little confused. This was the only time the couple didn't take safety measures. After careful calculation, it was indeed that day, in the bathroom.
Gu Cheng grabbed her wrist and asked anxiously, "Is it true?"
He noticed it earlier than Qin Yao. Her menstruation has always been regular, as if she could read the calendar, on a fixed day every month. There was a period when her period came on the first of every month for ten consecutive months.
Sometimes it's delayed for a week, and all the days change.
"I don't know. We can only be sure after going to the hospital." Qin Yao was in mixed feelings. Her two eldest children were finally going to elementary school and she didn't have to worry about them anymore. Could there be another one?
She changed her mind and thought, just come, she is already a millionaire now, it's not like she can't afford to support him, she can also hire a confinement nanny and a babysitter.
If she really got pregnant, she would plan to lie down for a year, read newspapers and books every day to take care of the fetus, make plans for the editorial department, and write some articles herself.
She doesn't have to worry about her third sister-in-law. She can just wait for this laying hen to grow up and then wait for the shares to appreciate in value. Although the third sister-in-law was not reborn, she has much more business experience than Qin Yao.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable? I'm sorry..."
Qin Yao came to her senses and said, "It takes two to tango."
Gu Cheng: "This year is the Year of the Monkey."
Qin Yao: “…”
Hello, comrade, is your focus weird?
