Chapter 480 Dance Hall
He Xu listened to the old man's advice and found an opportunity to talk to He Yang for a while, and their relationship finally became more harmonious.
He Yang agreed to apply for transfer to Haishi County.
It just so happened that the old man’s 80th birthday was approaching, and He Yang planned to wait until after the old man’s birthday before leaving the capital.
Chen Tang had to go back to school after the winter break, and went to Professor Qin's place for dinner when school started.
She brought gifts to the door and found that it was Professor Qin Wang's wife.
This was the first time she met Professor Qin Wang’s wife, a middle-aged woman with a dignified appearance and who looked very knowledgeable.
“This is your Aunt Fan, a Chinese medicine doctor.” Professor Qin Wang introduced Chen Tang and brought out some fruit to entertain them.
Chen Tang called someone, but Dr. Fan was indifferent to her. Seeing that Qin Wang had a guest, he picked up his bag and was about to leave.
"Qin Wang, you must raise the money for the child to go abroad as soon as possible. I have let you down in the past, but the child's future cannot be delayed. You missed the child's growth in the past, and now you can no longer ignore the child."
Qin Wang watched her leave, then sat on the sofa and sighed.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Chen Tang: "Chinese people are discriminated against abroad nowadays. Why go abroad if it is not necessary?"
Professor Qin Wang was helpless: "Liao Li was admitted to the directing department, but the directing department does not have any government-sponsored places to study abroad. Your aunt Fan wanted to send her abroad for further studies, but she did not have enough money, so she had to ask me for money."
"That would cost a lot of money."
If the children are not sponsored by the government, it is difficult for Chinese people to support their children to study abroad with their current financial situation.
Professor Qin Wang: "So I asked Liao Li to study with me, but your Aunt Fan felt that the level in China was too low and disliked that I couldn't make much money, so she sent Liao Li abroad and she was able to stay there to settle down.
I asked Liao Li about this. Liao Li wanted to stay in China to develop her career, but all the children of your aunt Fan's neighbors were sent abroad. She was obsessed with it and insisted on sending them abroad. My persuasion was useless. "
Chen Tang was puzzled: "Isn't Aunt Fan a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner? Does she not want her job anymore?"
Professor Qin next to him said, "After the reform policy came out, many places were laying off employees, and many hospitals were disbanding their TCM departments. Your aunt Fan didn't work at a tertiary hospital, but they cancelled their TCM departments, and all TCM doctors were laid off as well."
Chen Tang suddenly realized that it was no wonder that there were so many applicants in the medical hall of the memorial book. It turned out that the Chinese medicine departments in various places had been cancelled.
Professor Qin snorted: "Why go abroad? What's wrong with our country? What's the difference between immigration and treason!"
Qin Wang knew that his father was patriotic and disdained those who despised their own country and insisted on going abroad.
But this is the reality. Who doesn’t want to go abroad to gain experience if they have the means?
He heard that there was gold everywhere in foreign countries and that one could make a fortune by going there for a year or two. Anyone who returned from abroad was a talent and major companies were competing for them. Under such circumstances, it was normal for his ex-wife to want to send their children abroad.
"Dad, please stop talking."
Professor Qin: "Should I say less? Your ex-wife is thinking about going abroad. Is it for Liao Li's sake or for her own sake?"
"Don't think I don't know that your ex-wife has wanted to seek refuge abroad since we got into trouble. If she couldn't afford the money, why would she stay in the country for all these years? I'm afraid she still thinks that it was you who caused her to suffer for so many years!"
Qin Wang felt guilty: "But it is true that I have implicated her, otherwise she would not have worked in a small community hospital for so long."
His ex-wife also used to work in a big hospital, but she was fired after something happened to the Qin family.
Professor Qin frowned even more deeply: "Do you have enough money for them to go abroad?"
Qin Wang had quite a bit of money. The dramas he had filmed in recent years were not very popular, but he had not lost money either. However, he was not a self-employed person, he had a regular job, and most of the money earned from the movies did not reach him. It was basically all turned over to the state, and he only had a small share.
It is not difficult to come up with the money for Liao Li to go abroad in one go, but the difficult part is to ensure that she lives well in a foreign country, while also having to support an ex-wife, which is a bit tight.
"It's enough for now."
Professor Qin nodded. He asked Chen Tang to come for dinner because he had something to ask.
"Student Chen Tang, I also know the national policy. Your uncle Qin Wang wants to resign and start his own business. I want to ask you what you think?"
Chen Tang nodded: "Yes, Professor, you have seen that our country is now in a period of development. It can be said that even picking up garbage is very profitable. As long as you cater to the market, the business profit is very high.
But there are risks too. If it fails, all the costs may be lost.”
Professor Qin Wang is a scholar who knows little about the market: "What do you think is the most profitable industry at the moment?"
Chen Tang was not stingy with his advice: “First, clothing. With the country’s reform and opening up, people’s economy has improved, and their needs for life have gradually increased. Clothes are a symbol of appearance, so the clothing industry is bound to be hot.
The second is catering. As far as I know, my second uncle opened a restaurant that was very profitable, but he opened several chain stores in just one year.
The third is the retail industry or the trade industry. Like the catering industry, people’s demands are currently increasing. They no longer go to state-owned markets only for dining and shopping. Many people are willing to choose new products in the retail industry.
Currently, I am working in the business, clothing, and entertainment industries.”
In the business and trade industry, there is a piece of land in the west city of the capital this year, which Chen Tang has already bought. Although the land is remote now, it will be demolished in two years to build a hospital, a school, and even a large amount of real estate. She bought such a large piece of land for 5,000 yuan, which is really a great bargain.
But she hasn't decided how to start yet.
In the clothing industry, Wang Jiujiu's cheongsam is a niche product. If Chen Tang wants to start his own clothing brand, he has to cooperate with others again.
She has money, but lacks talent in designing clothes.
At present, there are too few fashion design majors in China, and there are few fashion designs that can catch people's eyes. Wang Jiujiu only gives her tens of thousands of yuan per year, so the profit is not that big.
Chen Tang has the idea of developing into the clothing industry, but there is no definite plan yet.
As for the entertainment industry.
The mall makes huge profits every year, and after making back his investment last year, Shen Tang has kept the money and has not made much use of it.
It was not until recently when a large number of young people in society began to scramble for territory in the capital that Chen Tang remembered the fastest way to make money in the entertainment venue.
Dance hall.
In an era when color television was not popular, when entertainment was scarce, and in the chaotic era when reform and opening up had just begun, the emergence of dance halls could be considered to have brought huge profits.
The environment of the dance hall is chaotic, but Shen Tang is not worried about anyone finding fault with her. She does not compete with the lower-level people for profits. She plans to open a top-level dance hall with her second uncle Shen Yue.
Because of her identity, she can never do anything illegal or criminal. It is unreliable to ask anyone else for help. Only her second uncle Shen Yue can help.
Grandpa Shen’s identity is there, and as a descendant of a soldier, Shen Yue would be crazy to do something illegal.
But Chen Tang hasn't found the right time yet, Chen Yue said.
As for the film company, it was registered by Shen Tang for his own hobby and he did not participate in other interests.
Since few people bought televisions in the 1980s and most people watched movies, Shen Tang currently only made movies. She used the connections given by Grandpa He to form a film team.
Now I came to the Qin family just to ask Professor Qin to help me and serve as the director.
She told director Qin Wang that she had invited him to work, and Qin Wang accepted her request.
Chen Tang: "So what are you going to do, Professor?"
If you want to go into the sea, you must have a goal.
Qin Wang: "I know some people in Hong Kong, they are my former classmates. They originally invited me to film in Hong Kong, but Hong Kong is very chaotic. Mainlanders were discriminated against in the past. I want to persuade him to return to the mainland to develop and acquire steel. The price of steel has been rising. I heard that it can rise to 2,000 yuan per ton in a few years. With the current price of 1,200 yuan, the profit is huge."
In his previous life, Chen Tang had heard about the six sharp rises and falls in steel prices.
She only remembers three times when steel prices skyrocketed and plummeted. One was in 1988 when steel prices rose to 2,400 yuan a ton, and then plummeted to around 1,500 yuan after 1990. She did not pay attention to the prices after that, but she had heard that 2008 was the peak of steel price surge.
Shen Tang thought about the current price of steel and felt that Professor Qin Wang had some guts in him.
"If you have connections in this industry, you won't lose money if you start now."
Qin Wang felt relieved after receiving the affirmation. He glanced at Professor Qin and said, "You see, your teacher is worried. I told you it's okay."
Old Master Qin snorted: "The profits from betting on the rise and fall of the market will eventually lead to bankruptcy. I know you want to make money quickly, but remember that nothing can skyrocket forever."
Qin Wang: "Don't worry."
