Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Earning Money from the Rich
"Anran, what's wrong with you? Are you so engrossed in your thoughts?" Yu Jing called out a few times, but seeing that Lin Anran didn't respond, she could only call out louder.
Lin Anran was called back to his senses and smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I was thinking about my brother and sister-in-law. I haven't seen them since returning to Shenzhen from my hometown. I'd like to arrange a meeting with them when I have time."
Yu Jing asked, "I heard you say you sent your twin brother and sister to night school. How are they doing?"
"I don't know. I'm waiting to check." Lin Anran smiled and shook his head.
"If you have the chance, please introduce your brother and sister-in-law to me." Yu Jing had always wanted to meet the twin brother and sister-in-law that Lin Anran mentioned, but unfortunately she never had the right opportunity.
Lin Anran: "If there's a chance, by the way, how old is that rich lady Tian?"
Yu Jing: "Mrs. Tian is a year older than me, twenty-five. She was previously neglected by her family. Her father passed away early, and her mother was ill and had to take medicine all the time. In addition, her father had drained the family savings a few years ago, so their family lived in extreme poverty, especially her mother's medical expenses. Mrs. Tian's family probably didn't have much money left. She once came to us to borrow money for medicine, and she would quickly pay it back with her alternate month's salary. No one dared to marry Mrs. Tian before, after all, she said she would take her mother with her when she got married. Now it's different. Now matchmakers have even knocked down the door for Mrs. Tian's family."
"With so many people to choose from, you can always pick a good one." Lin Anran could only wish that Mrs. Tian could find a suitable marriage partner as easily as she became rich overnight.
Yu Jing: "I heard that Mrs. Tian is getting close to a man named Chen Guangzong."
"Cough, cough, cough!" Lin Anran choked on her own saliva. She asked in disbelief, "Chen Guangzong?"
"An Ran, do you know this person named Chen Guangzong?" Yu Jing was stunned.
Lin Anran's expression was indescribable. "Although there are many coincidences in the world, and there's more than one person named Chen Guangzong in Shenzhen, but since you suddenly mentioned Chen Guangzong, I think it's very likely that he's the Chen Guangzong I know."
The two compared Chen Guangzong's appearance and found that they were indeed the same person.
Lin Anran complained: "Chen Guangzong's way of picking up girls is indeed not to be underestimated." In other words, Lin Anli is only focused on making money and has not yet started to have love affairs. If Lin Anli wanted to have a relationship or something, she might have been pursued by Chen Guangzong.
"So this Chen Guangzong is such a playboy. He's had so many girlfriends." Yu Jing was also helpless after hearing Lin Anran's explanation. "Rich woman Tian didn't say Chen Guangzong was her boyfriend. Anyway, rich woman Tian is still going on blind dates. I wonder what she thinks now."
"Are you familiar with Mrs. Tian?"
"I'm not familiar with her. Mrs. Tian is devoted to her work and taking care of her mother. But we all live in the same family building, so we chat when we meet. Anran, is this the hair salon?" Yu Jing looked at the hair salon curiously. She had never been to such a place. In the past, she always got her hair cut at the barber in the family building. Today, she had money in her pocket, so she took the initiative to ask Lin Anran to go to the hair salon to get a haircut.
Lin Anran: "Yes, this is the one. Let's go in."
"Ms. Lin, welcome!" Li Jia greeted Lin Anran, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, as warmly as before.
Li Jia was receiving other guests, and Lin Anran automatically lined up behind her. She was used to Li Jia helping her take care of her hair, so she could wait a while and discuss with Yu Jing how to cut her hair.
"The hair salon charges much more than the small barber shop in our family building." Yu Jing said in a low voice.
Lin Anran also whispered, "The hair salon provides more services. They can help you wash your hair and take care of your hair." She said, looking at Yu Jing's frizzy hair.
Hearing this, Yu Jing raised her head slightly to look at Lin Anran's shiny black hair, and said enviously, "Anran, your hair looks so black and smooth, it looks so nice to touch."
Seeing Yu Jing's hands stirring, Lin Anran immediately put his hat back on and snorted, "I won't let you touch my hair."
Yu Jing felt quite regretful and turned her hand to touch her hair: "My hair ends are a little split, it's better to cut it. Today I will also try how to take care of my hair."
Yu Jing used to earn her own salary and could afford to go to the hair salon occasionally, but she had never done so. Hair care? She had no such thoughts, just washing her hair was enough. It was just because of her friend Lin Anran's presence that Yu Jing went to the hair salon for the first time.
"Actually, I didn't go to hair salons before, and they had a bad reputation. This salon looks very serious." Yu Jing said in a low voice this time.
Lin Anran chuckled and put her arm around Yu Jing's shoulders. "You've made a good observation. The owner of this hair salon is a very capable woman, and all the employees are women. Most of the people who come to the salon to get their hair cut are also women."
Yu Jing nodded. "What about the hair salon across the street? We passed by here before and I remember it was closed. Is it open now?"
Lin Anran glanced towards the door and said, "I wonder if it's opened by the original owner's family or a new owner. I'll ask Li Jia later."
"The hair salon across the street? The original salon owner's wife got a share of that shop after her divorce from the boss. Now she's the owner of the salon, but because of that scandal, not many people are willing to go to the salon across the street. In order to attract customers, the owner of that salon has launched many promotions and snatched a lot of customers away." Li Jia said a little worriedly while doing Lin Anran's hair care.
Yu Jing thought about how her shop was selling hair ties and other shops were competing with her by lowering their prices. She said hurriedly, "If they offer so many discounts, how can the owner of the hair salon across the street make any money?"
Li Jia shook her head: "I'm just a small employee in the hair salon. The boss is worried about whether we can make money or not."
"I think everyone still prefers cheaper things." Yu Jing said with emotion. Although her family's business is relatively stable, it cannot expand. The Yu family certainly wants to make more money, but there are too many competitors behind them, and the Yu family is nervous.
Lin Anran said, "It's true that some people are willing to spend less to buy goods, but there are also people who are willing to spend a little more to buy better goods. It all depends on the target customers of the goods you sell."
The two hair salons have different positioning, this one is slightly more high-end. The salon across the street keeps lowering its prices. How good will the service be in the end? A wealthy woman like Lin Anran would only choose this salon and choose the better service. She doesn't really trust the salon across the street.
Just like the aloe vera gel made by Lin Anran, she is now determined to sell it specifically to rich women like Wang Simei, so the fees are high, very high. However, Wang Simei has no objection to the price she sets. Instead, she takes it for granted and thinks that expensive things are good, and she wishes they were even more expensive.
There are some differences in the aloe vera ramets planted in the greenhouse garden. The aloe vera nourished by the golden finger grows very well, while the aloe vera that grows normally without the golden finger is indeed an ordinary green-leaf aloe. In other words, the ramet aloe vera did not inherit the excellent genes of the mother aloe plant. If she wants to plant the green-leaf aloe vera with better efficacy on a large scale, she can only wait until she uses the golden finger to improve the green-leaf aloe vera, provided that she can successfully improve it.
Lin Anran was confident that she could succeed with the help of cheats, but it would definitely take time. Now she could only reap the wallets of the rich while conducting her own planting experiments.
Therefore, product customer positioning is very important. Lin Anran specializes in making money from rich people, spending the least time and energy to make the most money!
"Product customer positioning?" Yu Jing looked at Lin Anran thoughtfully. She felt that she had grasped something, but also grasped nothing.
Lin Anran: "Yes, there are so many markets. How can one person make all the money? It's enough to just make money from a part of the people."
Yu Jing thought: "I need to go home and discuss it with my family."
"Ms. Lin is amazing." Li Jia complimented at the right time.
"Your massage skills have improved a lot." Lin Anran felt so comfortable that he felt Li Jia was really talented in this field.
After leaving the salon, Yu Jing kept touching her hair. "It turns out that taking care of your hair can really make it smooth and shiny. No wonder An Ran, you always come to the salon to take care of your hair."
"Actually, it's mainly because I'm lazy. I have professionals to serve me, so I can just sit back and enjoy it." Lin Anran said, and glanced around casually. Suddenly, he saw a face that looked familiar. Chen Guangzong?
After confirming it was Chen Guangzong, Lin Anran looked at the girl next to Chen Guangzong who was being protected by him everywhere, and reached out to pull Yu Jing: "Is that rich woman Tian?"
"It's her!" Yu Jing was surprised. "An Ran, did you recognize Chen Guangzong?"
Lin Anran nodded. Chen Guangzong looked like a decent man. If he cleaned up, his face would be acceptable. He was also good at talking, so it would not be difficult for him to coax a girl. He did have several girlfriends.
"They went to the hair salon across the street. Did they get a haircut?" Yu Jing followed Mrs. Tian and Chen Guangzong into the salon across the street.
Lin Anran and Yu Jing looked at each other and tacitly gave up asking, because it was Mrs. Tian's own business after all.
Lin Anran took a bus home and found a pitiful Wang Simei at the door of his house: "What are you doing squatting at my door?"
Wang Simei said with a sad face: "My father kicked me out and I have nowhere to go. Miss Lin, please take me in."
Lin Anran immediately understood why Wang Simei was pestering her family and laughed: "I don't believe it. Miss Wang has so many friends, she can go anywhere."
Seeing that she hadn't gotten the upper hand, Wang Simei could only change her words and say, "Ms. Lin, please buy me a cup of coffee. I'll leave after I finish. I'm telling you, Xue Kai is despicable! And that Xue Ya, who does she think she is?" Lin Anran: "It's enough that your father, Boss Wang, values the Xue siblings."
Wang Simei immediately wilted. Her biological father, Boss Wang, didn't value the Xue siblings, he valued Xue Ya very, very, very much! Xue Kai was just a by-product, but who made Xue Kai Xue Ya's twin brother?
"Instant coffee?" Wang Simei took a sip of coffee and immediately frowned.
Lin Anran smiled and said, "If you don't want to drink it, don't come next time. I only have instant coffee at home."
Wang Simei, who wanted to come more often, said: "...I drink instant coffee. It's delicious."
Lin Anran is not addicted to coffee, so it doesn’t matter. She likes drinking tea now, and occasionally she will try to make tea for herself. Making tea is really fun.
"Why did your father kick you out? Did he stop your card?" Lin Anran became curious.
Wang Simei snorted in annoyance, "Xue Kai is such a petty person. I just got home and my dad called me and told me to get out. It's just an investment project, and we don't know if it will succeed. I might even lose money in the end. When I said that, my dad got even angrier. Not only did he tell me to get out, he also blocked my credit card. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have agreed to that bastard Xue Kai yesterday! I don't like Xue Kai at all, and I don't lack a boyfriend. If I agreed to him, I'd just be asking for trouble."
Lin Anran: "So how much did your family invest?"
"Ten million."
Lin Anran paused, then turned to stare at Wang Simei. "Ten million dollars invested in the future wouldn't be a small amount, let alone in the early 1990s." That was a massive investment. Boss Wang alone invested ten million, so what about the others? Nine more Boss Wangs would be hundreds of millions, not to mention the bank loans they could get. The sum would reach hundreds of millions.
Wang Simei added, "My family isn't the biggest investor. My dad said he wouldn't be in the top five. This investment project is huge."
Lin Anran silently picked up the soda brought by Aunt Zhong and gulped down several mouthfuls. After finishing it, she smacked her lips and said, "So many rich people!"
She wants to harvest the wallets of rich people!
"It's fine that my dad scolded me, but my brother and mom also said bad things about me. Humph, it was obviously Xue Kai who bullied me first! Not only did they not let me vent my anger, they also scolded me. Who is their real daughter? Yesterday they called me treasure, but today I'm just grass!" Wang Simei was very angry.
"Those two slaps on Xue Kai were too few!"
Lin Anran agreed very much: "It's a pity that you didn't beat him into a pig's head. It's too late to regret it now."
Wang Simei: “…”
