One month later.
Hot summer day.
The sun was scorching the earth like a flame, and the children in the river were facing the shore, with their feet facing back, splashing in the water constantly.
The barefooted melon farmer sat next to the stall, fanning himself with a straw hat, looking at the passers-by, and occasionally taking a sip of mung bean soup from a badly painted porcelain vat.
Qiu Yingjie followed Lin Yue and walked into the somewhat dilapidated bungalow in front.
"These are the only unsold houses in the neighborhood, and their location is average."
"It's okay, that's it."
"What do you want it for?"
"Building a warehouse."
"Building a warehouse?"
"You don't necessarily need a front office to do wholesale, but you must have a warehouse."
"It's just two thousand pairs of socks... there's no need to buy five or six at once, right?"
"Be prepared for a rainy day."
Lin Yue knocked on the wall with his hand, and a ball of powder fell down, revealing the red bricks inside.
"Preparing for a rainy day?" Qiu Yingjie couldn't understand.
Lin Yue said: "Have you ever heard the saying that every inch of land is worth a lot of money? When I buy it, I not only value its usage attributes, but also its future value-added space."
Qiu Yingjie understood: "You boy, you really have extraordinary vision."
Lin Yue said: "In less than a year, all the stalls in Huqingmen Small Commodity Market have been robbed. Do you think the county will plan a second small commodity market and a third small commodity market?"
Qiu Yingjie smiled and said, "I can't tell you this."
"But you laughed."
"I didn't say it, so why don't you just smile? What if I'm laughing at you because you have no vision?"
Lin Yue said, "How dare you take a gamble? You won't be able to buy it here for three times the money in five years."
Qiu Yingjie said: "If I don't gamble, I don't have this kind of hobby."
"I don't dare."
Lin Yue picked up the dust-covered weight on the floor, looked at the window with a big hole in the north wall, and shook his head gently.
"By the way, thank you for what happened that day."
Qiu Yingjie was referring to the incident a month ago when he was forced to review at the spring work summary meeting. Chen Jinzhu and Lin Yue led the villagers of Chenjia Village to send banners to help him out of trouble: "But do you know how much you offended by those words at that time? people."
Lin Yue knew that he was referring to the sentence "Only mediocre people in the world have no blame or honor."
"I said something and offended many people. You did something and offended many people. Which one of us offended the most?"
Qiu Yingjie said matter-of-factly: "Let me..."
"Are you scared?"
"Not afraid."
"You are not afraid of the deputy director of the development zone who is on the table. What should I, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, be afraid of?"
Qiu Yingjie had nothing to say. He could only whisper in his heart. He kept talking about his age all day long. When others were fifteen or sixteen, all they thought about was how to do well in their studies, how to chase girls, and where to go on weekends. What about you? ? He looks ten years older than his actual age. How dare he say that he is a boy of fifteen or sixteen?
Lin Yue said again: "Do you know what, in my opinion, is the most difficult problem in your position?"
"What?"
"The merchant's shortsightedness and your longsightedness will increase your workload on many issues."
Qiu Yingjie was stunned. He didn't expect his eyes to be so poisonous. In the two years since he started working, his biggest resistance has been the incomprehension of his colleagues and merchants. Those people's thinking is either old-fashioned and like zombies, or they only think about small profits in front of them. I don’t have any perspective on the overall situation and the future. I have to explain it carefully for a long time every time, but it may not be understood. Or maybe it makes sense at the time, but then changes my mind the next day. In short, the work is not progressing quickly, if it weren’t for County Magistrate Xie behind my back. Support, he didn't know if he could survive it.
"well……"
"Director Qiu, I know you want to do everything perfectly, but there are many things where going too far is never enough."
"Don't call me Director Qiu. You are Jiang He's cousin. Just call me Brother Qiu with him."
"Qiu...brother?"
Lin Yue's expression was very strange.
Director Qiu noticed the change in his expression, but didn't think much about it.
"Why do I think you are so reluctant?"
"No...no, haha, how could it be? Brother Qiu."
"Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Let's go and go to my place for a drink at noon... By the way, you are still in school, so you can't drink."
"It's okay, I can get full marks on the test with my eyes closed."
"You are so immodest..."
Qiu Yingjie shook his head, threw the key to him, and walked outside.
…
one year later.
1984.
Chen Jinshui resigned as mayor and Chen Jinzhu was promoted to deputy mayor.
Everyone in the ten miles and eight villages knows that Chen Jinzhu is what he is today because of that nephew's credit, because many people have been favored by Chen Yulian's mother and son, or have been favored by them. As the saying goes, cannibals have short lips.
Chen Jianghe has not returned to Chenjia Village for more than a year. No one knows where he has gone, but he has sent money back and said that he would repay the debt owed by Luo Yuzhu.
Lin Yue knew that he went to the sock factory where Luo Yuzhu used to deliver goods. He also knew that Luo Yuzhu was in Jiangxi and married to the railway worker Wang Dashan.
He didn't have a good impression of this woman at first. He thought she had a bad personality and a bad temper.
"How about it?"
The warehouse rented last year has been reinforced and repaired, and it looks neat and brighter. However, this is not the key. The key is that less than 30 meters away from it is the unfinished Xinma Road Small Commodity Market, which is what Director Qiu said. The second generation small commodity market.
"You want to move the car repair shop here?"
He Zizi saw that the six rooms had been reinforced, and Lin Yue was also planning to build an additional one-story house. He always felt that using it as a car repair shop...well, it was a bit big.
"After working as a bicycle repairman for more than a year and selling second-hand bicycles for more than a year, I finally passed my assessment. It's time to help you upgrade your career."
He Zizi listened to Mihu and upgraded his career? What does it mean?
He hasn't had enough work as a car repairman yet. The money he has earned this year is several times more than the people in the village who set up stalls at Huqingmen. How can such a profitable business be thrown away? What is this kid thinking? But he is not Li Jinze's mad man. He doesn't just say what he thinks in his heart.
"What... can this do?"
Lin Yue handed him a list.
"What's this?"
He found that he knew the characters on it. This was the result of half a year, and also the result of Lin Yue forcing him to study.
"Purchase note."
"Purchase order?"
"I have already negotiated the product, model, quantity, address, and order. You can just state your name after you go there. Also, your brothers who work in the briquette factory are pretty good. Ask them to work with you. Lin Yue threw the canvas bag on his back to him again: "There are 3,000 yuan in it, which should be enough for you to purchase goods and spend on the road."
this……
He Laizi was stunned.
Just change your career if you say you want to change your career? Just give money when you say give money? Should you leave such an important matter of recruiting workers to him?
After all, he always felt that he was just a car mechanic, and he could do whatever the boy asked him to do, without thinking about the main job at all.
"What? Isn't what I said clear enough? It means that from now on, you no longer have to be a bicycle repairman who is surrounded by oil and dust every day. You can just sell bicycle accessories. You should be able to have a ten-year bonus period. After that, , sell auto parts, you can earn ten years by doing whatever you want.”
"..."
He Laizi was speechless. This guy arranged for him to go out for the next twenty years with just a few words?
"Is there anything else you don't understand?"
"This accessory...this quantity...how did you do it?"
After working as a bicycle repairman for more than a year, he knows very well how difficult it is to get some bicycle parts. Not to mention buying them in batches and going to the factory to rush the goods.
We may not even be able to produce one for you every month. After all, people's lives are getting better and better, and the demand for bicycles is getting higher and higher. Parts factories are working hard to produce complete bicycles to seize the market. As for the meager profits, The accessories market... there are very few that are worth looking at.
Lin Yue said: "The purpose of letting you work as a car repairman for a year is not to make money, but to find out the problems faced by this industry so that you can have a chance to solve them. This is the way of doing business one step at a time, like replacing cans with airplanes. Called a one-shot deal, that kind of person can only be called a businessman, not an entrepreneur."
He Laizi couldn't quite understand what he heard, but one thing that was certain was that Mr. Mo Gu, who was said to have died early because he leaked too many secrets, was so damn right.
