"It's really awesome!" Jiang Tianhao also admired, "Okay, let me tell you something happy. Next month, Jiangzhou will hold a Chinese and foreign men's basketball game. In fact, it is our high school in Jiangzhou City. , playing a friendly match with American high schools."
"So what? It can't be our school's turn to compete, right?" Deng Xiaoqi pouted.
Although elite middle schools have always had excellent test scores, Jiangzhou Middle School's sports scores are still better.
"Hey, I'm going to find the city leaders to take over this competition." Jiang Tianhao said ambitiously.
"Hey, can you find where the city leader's home is?" Lin Miaomiao teased with a smile.
"Don't underestimate me. If I can't do it, I will change my surname to Deng~" Jiang Tianhao swore.
"Go, I don't want your surname to be Deng." Deng Xiaoqi quickly refused.
"Then my surname will be Lin, and Lin Tianhao sounds pretty nice too." Jiang Tianhao immediately changed his words.
"Haha, you should take the first brother's surname as Qian." Lin Miaomiao laughed awkwardly.
…
In June, Lin Dawei was still looking for a job, but it was not easy to find.
On the one hand, he is already in his forties and will soon turn fifty. People of this age group are not very popular in the job market;
On the one hand, he used to be the office director and was considered a middle-level cadre. Now if you want to join the management team again, it will be very difficult if you have no family or friends.
He also asked many friends to help, but he never found the right one.
This is a bit similar to Fang Yuan in "Little Joy". They are all middle-aged and unemployed, and it is difficult for them to find jobs.
Fortunately, Wang Shengnan, like Tong Wenjie, although usually very cruel to her husband, is still very supportive when things happen, so the family is still happy and harmonious, and there is no internal strife.
However, seeing everything come to nothing made Lin Dawei a little anxious.
…
"Miaomiao, your dad hasn't found a job yet?" Xiang Nan asked with concern.
"Probably, I didn't dare to ask." Lin Miaomiao nodded and said, "I also checked online, and now they say it's a mid-life crisis and it's hard to find a job. It seems that my dad has just caught up with this wave. "
"If he really can't find a job, I suggest he start his own business." Xiang Nan suggested, "Isn't it fashionable to start a business now?"
"What should I do? Let my dad open an online store, or go to Didi?" Lin Miaomiao asked curiously.
"Haven't you heard that saying? The three carriages that will drive China's economic development in the future are education, medical care, and elderly care!" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Let my dad be a teacher, a doctor, or open a nursing home?" Lin Miaomiao asked puzzledly, "It seems like he can't do it."
"My suggestion is to start a funeral business." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
"You want my dad to make money from dead people?! Go to hell with you." Lin Miaomiao said coquettishly.
If you make money from dead people, you will die. She didn't want her father to do that.
"Hey, don't be angry, just listen to my explanation." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "As long as you make money in a reasonable and legal way, you are blameless. What happened to the dead, you name it, forensic doctors, crematoriums, hearse drivers, cemetery administrators, etc. Paper shop owners and coffin factory workers will have to change jobs.
You will die in the future too. After you die, others can't touch you. I'll leave you rotting in the hospital bed, infested with maggots and stinking..."
"Ugh~" Lin Miaomiao felt disgusted after hearing this, and beat Xiang Nandao hard, "I hate it, you are the only one who has maggots and stink~"
"So, when you die, you also want someone to bury you. When you die, you also want to die with dignity, right?" Xiang Nan asked quickly.
Lin Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"The wedding is arranged by a wedding company, and the couple can make it a beautiful and proper wedding." Xiang Nan further explained, "Why can't there be a funeral company for the funeral? You know, there are more people who die than people who get married. . People may not get married, but they will definitely die.
But there are not many funeral companies now, so I think this is a blue ocean. Didn't your father work in a cultural company before? Funeral is also a kind of culture. Why can't we do it? "
"Is it really possible?" Lin Miaomiao expressed doubts.
"Tell your dad about it." Xiang Nan reminded, "Actually, funeral services are very popular abroad. American funeral service companies have been listed on the market in 1969.
The Japanese movie "The Embalmer: The Music of the Ceremony" describes the funeral service as the last journey after death, and the film is very touching. "
"Okay, then I'll talk to dad." Lin Miaomiao nodded.
Although she doesn't really approve of her father doing this business, she is willing to believe Xiang Nan.
…
When she went home at the weekend, she mentioned this matter to her father.
"Dad, your work matter has not been settled yet?" she asked with concern.
"Why, you also think your dad is doing nothing at home?" Lin Dawei said unhappily.
These days, he has been looking for a job all over the place, but he has never been accepted, which also makes him feel very depressed.
He really didn't expect that his dignified office director would be unable to find a job after resigning.
When he was in a hurry, he wanted to drive Didi and deliver food. At least you can support yourself without being looked down upon by others.
"Of course not, how could I think so." Lin Miaomiao waved her hands repeatedly, "Dad, I care about you. It is not good to be idle like this. It will lead to depression, wasted time, and disconnection from society. My classmate suggested that , if we can’t find a job again, why don’t we just start a business.”
"Start a business?! What kind of business are you starting?" Lin Dawei asked casually.
"Funeral service company~" Lin Miaomiao said with a smile.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" When Lin Dawei heard this, he choked on his saliva and coughed violently, "Funeral service company?! Who gave you the bad idea?"
In the play, his involvement in the funeral director business was purely accidental. He had no job at the time and was entrusted by others. He entered this industry by mistake and half-assedly.
Although he has no job now, he is not at the end of his rope. Therefore, he is not too interested in the funeral service industry.
"I thought it was a bad idea at first, but after I heard the explanation, I realized it wasn't that bad." Lin Miaomiao waved her hands and said, "Dad, everyone will die, and everyone wants to die decently. There are wedding companies for weddings. Help, why can’t a funeral service company help with the funeral?
My classmate said that this industry in China has not received much attention at present, it is still very informal, and it is a big blue ocean. Worth a try. Dad, aren’t you from a cultural company? Aren’t funerals also a kind of culture? Why do you dislike it so much? "
When Lin Dawei heard what his daughter said, he felt that it made sense.
Funeral services are indeed a kind of culture, with many rules and etiquette. If you're not an expert, you really can't do this.
And as far as he knows, many rural areas have people who specialize in funerals. When encountering red or white matters, they will come forward to deal with them. Not only is he not discriminated against, but he is highly respected and is called [Prime Minister].
And he is eloquent, careful and steady, so he is really on the right track for this line of work.
"Well, I'll think about it." Lin Dawei nodded.
