Li Wenjun glanced at him sideways: "I've told you several times, whether I can sell it for ten thousand depends on the effect of the finished product. Don't ask such silly questions in the future. I've also seen top-quality jade materials smashed into carvings. It’s in the hands of the jade master. Therefore, those who do jade business generally don’t find unfamiliar masters to do it.”
Tao Guangming rubbed his hands: "I said, if you give me jade materials twice a month, I am going to resign as the farmer's market manager and just do the jade processing business."
Li Wenjun shook his head: "Goodbye now, wait two years. Now there is a public unit to stay, so you can stay there first."
Tao Guangming blinked: "Why is that?"
Li Wenjun: "Why don't we have to wait for private enterprises to be recognized by the state before we can let go? Otherwise, why should I rely on a state-owned enterprise and hand over 10% of my profits to them in vain? I'm not stupid."
Tao Guangming shook his head and smacked his lips: "Sometimes, I really don't understand how you are so amazing. My dad just told me a while ago that the higher-ups have decided to gradually liberalize self-employment in two or three years. You seem to have eyes that reach the sky. The ears are the same, I knew it so quickly.”
Li Wenjun touched his forehead: "That's right, I just have eyes and ears that reach the sky."
"Hey, there is a big mouth. You can swallow the Bohai Bay if you open your mouth casually." Tao Guangming laughed at him and said, after washing his hands and using a towel, he dared to carefully put the jade material into the safe, and then took it out of the cabinet. Two large stacks came out.
Li Wenjun waved his hand: "Just give me one thousand first and let me pay for the goods from Sister Hui. I'll pick up the rest another day when I'm free. I have to run around today and it's not safe to keep it on me."
Tao Guangming counted fifty pieces and said, "Oh, I just need to pay for the goods. That five hundred yuan is enough. I guess there will be some left."
Li Wenjun frowned and said, "It's impossible. I asked for ten instruments and books."
Tao Guangming tilted his head: "I contributed one-third, and my sister contributed one-third, so you only have one-third."
Li Wenjun was stunned for a moment and murmured: "No, it was me who said I wanted to..."
Tao Guangming grinned: "It's okay, the water will flow smoothly. There will be many opportunities to ask for your money in the future. Besides, the money my sister and I make now is also earned by you. The wool comes from the sheep, so don't feel bad."
Li Wenjun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You want to fight over this matter with me. I really admire you."

Li Wenjun and Tao Guangming drove Tao Guangming's stylish military jeep to the department store.
Tao Guanghui's first sentence when she saw Li Wenjun was: "I heard that you have designed jackets, windbreakers and bags for clothing factories?"
Li Wenjun exclaimed: "Sister Hui, you are so magical. I just came back from the clothing factory, you will know it right away."
Tao Guanghui smiled proudly: "I have an eye in the city department store. The city department store has already called Director Mo to order all the clothes for this season. I also quickly ordered five pieces of each style and size. .”
Tao Guangming laughed like a pig and said, "Sister, this doesn't seem like your style. You are so cautious that you only ordered five items."
Tao Guanghui sighed: "No, he only gave me a quota of five pieces because they couldn't produce it even if they worked overtime. Now we not only have to compete with stores in this city, but also with stores in other cities, provinces, and even colleagues from other provinces. It’s really tiring to buy goods. If it weren’t for the honor of Young Master Jun, these goods probably wouldn’t even reach the department store in my small county town.”
Li Wenjun smiled: "Sister Hui, you're welcome." In fact, if Tao Guanghui wanted to use the connections to get clothes from the city's clothing factory, it would be his turn to talk too much. It's just that Tao Guanghui doesn't want to use those connections.
Li Wenjun took out the money and said, "I paid the price first."
Tao Guanghui took out the sales slip that had been issued earlier and handed it to Li Wenjun: "Three hundred yuan."
Li Wenjun sighed: "It's really less than 500. In fact, this donation of books and instruments is my personal behavior. Sister Hui really doesn't have to participate."
Tao Guanghui smiled: "You don't have to think about it so much. Our department store also has a mission, and we have to support these unprofitable units every year. This year, you have saved us trouble, and we don't have to think about it."
Li Wenjun nodded: "If that's the case, then I won't let you be polite."
Tao Guanghui said: "Let's go to the warehouse. You will go to two schools today, right?"
Tao Guangming: "It's good to be able to go to two schools."
Tao Guanghui said: "If you two are busy, I can find someone to send you to school in the countryside. Firstly, the roads in the countryside are not easy to walk, and secondly, some places are indeed very remote. It would be a waste of time for you to go there."
Li Wenjun thought for a while: "Okay."
He will start thinking about new products starting tomorrow. The new components brought back from the electronic component factory cannot be wasted.
That's a treasure that can determine 50% of his electronics factory's income in the next few years.

Tao Guanghui directed people to move the family's books and instruments to the truck, and asked two strong people to follow Tao Guangming in the truck.
Li Wenjun and the others said goodbye to Tao Guanghui and went straight to the County No. 1 Middle School.
-----
County No. 1 Middle School is a key middle school in the city and the highest institution of learning in the entire county. It used to be an ancient academy with a history of hundreds of years.
In the past few years, young people did not go to school, and the County No. 1 Middle School was almost abolished.
Since the college entrance examination was resumed, County No. 1 Middle School suddenly became a fragrant steamed bun again. People from several nearby counties will send their children here to attend high school if their families have some connections.
Only the best-performing middle schools in various towns and villages in the county can attend high school here.
County No. 1 Middle School will reach its peak in the next fifteen to twenty years, that is, between 1995 and 2000. Countless college students have passed the exam here. Although most of these college students did not return to their hometown to repay their hometown, they became elites in various industries. Therefore, it is worthwhile to invest in County No. 1 Middle School.
When Li Wenjun went from junior high school to high school, his grades actually met the standards of No. 1 Middle School. But Liu Cuihong didn't want him to go to boarding school alone in the county town, so she stayed in the children's school.
Li Wenjun is determined to build County No. 1 Middle School into a provincial key point, so that Diandian will not have to leave his side in the future.
Now I stand in front of the administrative building of County No. 1 Middle School and look around.
It's summer vacation and the school is quiet.
The playground is made of solid yellow mud; the track is paved with cinders and built with red bricks.
When it rains, it will definitely be muddy here, making it impossible to have physical education classes.
The current conditions are really harsh and crude, even cruder than the schools for children in the mining areas. After all, the mining areas are richer than the county towns. At least a cement basketball court can be built in the mining area.
A thought suddenly came to Li Wenjun's mind: Why should we abandon the near and seek the far away? Wouldn’t it be better to just build the children’s school into a provincial key point? Anyway, Zidi Primary School is already fully equipped from elementary school to high school. What is missing is classrooms, facilities and teachers. These can all be solved with money.
If the mining area builds a national key university, then Diandian can always stay with him.
This is a good idea, I will try to figure out how to implement it when I get back.
