Chapter 36 - 036 Talking about big business (two more chapters)
Sun Qiang was speechless for a while in surprise.
He knew better than anyone how miserable Shen Mingyuan was back then. He ate steamed buns and pickles every day at noon, and he was fined only five yuan for the first month’s wages. In the days, paying the rent has to squeeze between the teeth.
Sometimes when I see him so hard, I feel that this kind of life is not for human beings. I talked about Shen Mingyuan’s previous experience as an apprentice in a foreign country.
Sun Qiang found that Shen Mingyuan’s clothes also seemed to be new.
But he was poor at that time, could it be pretending? But if you think about it, who will pretend to have no money if you are rich?
Who wants to pretend to be poor to make people look down on that? But if he has money to save money in the bank, it means that he has made money and found a new job.
“Brother Mingyuan, what are you doing lately? You seem to be doing well. If you have a chance to make a fortune, don’t forget your brother.”
Shen Mingyuan smiled lightly at him: “No, I’m still doing my job and eating.”
Sun Qiang didn’t believe that it was as simple as just eating and eating. Shen Mingyuan should have made a lot of money. This must be hiding his clumsiness. Although Shen Mingyuan looks dumb, his brain is not stupid at all.
“Don’t, I don’t have any thoughts. You can see that it’s very difficult for my brother to bring a family and a family. That newspaper job earns too little money. This time my daughter needs to spend a lot of money to see a doctor. Life is too difficult and bitter. , if you jump out of the bitter sea, you can help my brother if you can, my brother will definitely be grateful to you.”
In fact, Shen Mingyuan himself has only just gotten out of poverty, and now he only has some opportunities to make money. These opportunities are only possessed by the help of the second brother and the second sister-in-law.
He has not forgotten how much he has, and he is not so empathetic, and has the ability to help colleagues find suitable opportunities.
In other words, he had the opportunity of two benefactors, the second brother and the second sister-in-law, but Sun Qiang didn’t, and he didn’t grow up to be strong enough to help others casually.
If one day, he is really capable, and he is also willing to help with things that are just a little effort.
Shen Mingyuan said again: “Brother Sun Qiang, I’m actually not very good now, and I’m also doing hard work and tiring work. If you don’t want to do it at the newspaper office, why don’t you find another job? Go to work in a factory, or go to a restaurant. If you work, if you have hands and feet, you will definitely not starve to death.”
Sun Qiang knew that Shen Mingyuan should not be willing to help, and he said helplessly and uncomfortable: “If I quit my job in the newspaper office, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find the next suitable job, and there is no way to go to the factory. And the letter of introduction, everyone is a radish and a pit, and it’s not my turn. If I don’t get married, I’ll have a good plan. Now I have two mouths waiting to eat at home. Northwesterly, when my child has to go to school next year, there is pressure everywhere, how dare I resign.
Shen Mingyuan can’t comfort people, let alone say big truths, but when he heard that Sun Qiang is so difficult now, he suddenly remembered that the conversation between the two eldest sisters in the house of the second sister-in-law had inspired him to do business. Although I was very naive at the time, I didn’t use the right method at first, but after using the formula given by the second sister-in-law, the business has indeed started to improve. As long as the method is correct, it will definitely make money. The one who sells apples The out-of-towner, he always remembers the scene where all the trucks were sold short.
His apples are delicious, but the transportation is also very difficult, the process is very difficult, because no one in this world is just successful.
“There is a saying that people can move trees and move trees to death. The methods are all devised by people. If there is a chance, you must seize it. As long as hard-working people do anything, they will not starve to death. Look at the old lady selling melons on the street. , people can also make money, and it’s good to be a small business.”
A person as big as Sun Qiang, of course, knows this truth. The key is that he is afraid of the risk of doing business. If it is really easy to make money, he would have tried it. The key is that he is afraid of losing too much and his life will not be as good as before.
“Forget it, I’m not doing business, and I don’t seem to have that brain.”
Shen Mingyuan saw Sun Qiang say this, and the topic ended here. If the other party was unwilling to leave the safe zone and live such a stable and poor life, no one would be able to help him.
“Brother Sun Qiang, I still have something to do, so I’ll be busy first.”
Sun Qiang originally wanted to ask Shen Mingyuan’s address, but because Shen Mingyuan was walking too fast, he didn’t stop him.
Looking back, Shen Mingyuan actually persuaded him to start a small business. Could it be that he spent all this time doing business?
He thought that it was more and more possible, otherwise how could the money come so quickly?
Sun Qiang is very envious of the fact that Shen Mingyuan can do business, because he is not married, he has no family drag, and he doesn’t seem to need to support his parents, and he also has subsidies for the disabled. Poor, but one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry, and the poor have no pressure.
He has to feed several couples, and the pressure is really too great. If he didn’t have so much pressure now, he could dare to think and do it, but unfortunately he doesn’t dare to take this risk now and can’t stand the toss.
When Sun Qiang went back, he told other colleagues at the newspaper office that he encountered something about Shen Mingyuan today, and the manager of the newspaper office heard about it for some unknown reason. As soon as the manager of the newspaper office heard that Shen Mingyuan was doing business to make money, he immediately expressed ten thousand disbelief.
“Don’t talk nonsense, his brain is obviously a problem with intelligence, he can get wet by sending a newspaper, and he has made two mistakes in a month. Even if he can’t do such a simple thing well, he can still do it. what?”
“Boss, I really saw Shen Mingyuan going to save money today. He also advised me to start a small business. If it wasn’t for business, how could I make money?”
“Don’t listen to his nonsense, there are risks in doing business, and you will definitely lose a lot. His money won’t be earned by stealing chickens, right? Is it clean? Shen Mingyuan’s brain is not good, and he may not be able to count, how can he do business? .”
“That’s right, isn’t he a fool? This money must have been stolen. Maybe I’ll see him at the detention center in a few days.”
The employees in the newspaper all nodded, always thinking that people like Shen Mingyuan are not so smart in doing business, so this money is not a good deal.
But Sun Qiang thought that these people underestimated Shen Mingyuan’s IQ. In fact, these people may not be as smart as Shen Mingyuan. In short, he felt that although Shen Mingyuan was physically disabled, his brain was not stupid. Colleagues in the newspaper office are too dirty in their hearts. Is it so difficult to admit that others are excellent?
With the hot sale of multi-functional tables and chairs, multi-functional bookcases, multi-functional wardrobes, and multi-functional kitchen storage racks are all listed in turn.
The production method of other furniture is actually similar to that of tables and chairs, even simpler than tables and chairs. Chen Yuan and Shen Huai are responsible for the drawings, Shen Mingyuan is responsible for the production, and the furniture is also ordered by parents in small quantities.
Although things are very useful, the sales are too small after all. Only relatives and friends, the business will soon reach saturation. A piece of furniture has a long service life, and it is estimated that it will not be possible to replace it within ten years, so after selling this piece After the furniture is sold, no one buys it.
Shen Mingyuan had no choice but to continue the melon seed business.
Chen Yuan is busy compiling the second English book. The second book is richer in content, and it takes a lot longer to submit the manuscript. It can be said that it will take more than a month before it can be handed over to the publishing house.
And Liu Chuan has obviously tasted the sweetness these days. He thinks that the big Buddha Chen Yuan is simply the lucky **** of the publishing house, saving them from fire and water, but now the publication of the first book can be said to have just saved them. , but this speed will always slow down.
The local bookstores are all supplying them now, and the sales in other places have not yet opened up the market. Generally speaking, making money is far from enough. If you want the publishing house to fully recover, it must make more money.
Now that Liu Chuan has finally caught it, how could he just let Chen Yuan’s talent go so easily as his own rescue straw, so he planned to talk to Chen Yuan about a big business.
Shen Huai opened the door outside and saw that it was Liu Chuan who came to visit. He saw that this kid was actually looking for Chen Yuan again. He had come here three or four times this month, and he stayed for a long time each time before leaving. It’s talking about serious things, but the other party is coming too often.
And seeing that every time Liu Chuan saw Chen Yuan’s eyes light up, as if he had seen some kind of baby, he felt a suffocation in his heart.
Shen Huai gritted his teeth and showed a smile, not letting Liu Chuan enter the door, and asked in an unusually cold voice.
“Mr. Liu, did you come to see my wife today for anything?”
The word wife is particularly hard to bite, it seems to be an oath of sovereignty, so that the other party knows his status.
Liu Chuan was excited, his eyes widened, because he stayed up all night and didn’t sleep last night, and eagerly wanted to discuss his thoughts with Chen Yuan, he directly ignored Shen Huai’s face.
“Mr. Shen, I’m here to talk to Mr. Chen about a big business.”
“If you have something to tell me, I’ll help you tell her.” Shen Huai said very seriously.
Liu Chuan shook his head: “No, I want to tell Teacher Chen in person.”
