Chapter 208 Video Hall
Author: Mahjong Jun
Pingyang County, Zhao Wenmu’s home.
Qian Daniu stood very reservedly in the living room of Zhao Wenmu's house. This honest man, who was slightly older than Zhao Wenmu, had a troubled face and hesitated to speak.
"Daniu, if you have anything to do, just say it, just keep whining!"
"There are only two of us in this room, what can't we say?!"
Zhao Jing and the two little ones went to school early in the morning. Zhao Wenmu and the little girl were alone at home. The little one was fast asleep on the small bed in the bedroom.
Zhao Wenmu didn't know why Qian Daniu suddenly came to him.
Looking at this embarrassing look, he must be resigning, right?
Logically speaking, it's impossible. Daniel is an honest man and doesn't have much ambition. There is no reason to leave him alone and go it alone.
"Amu, I, I want to buy a house in the city."
Qian Daniu hesitated and said.
Zhao Wenmu was stunned for a moment, that's it?
"Can't you chip in the money? It's okay, I'll lend it to you!"
Zhao Wenmu knew the situation of Qian Daniu's family very well. It stands to reason that he should have saved enough money to buy a house.
"Ah, no, no, I have enough money."
"Zhang Qin also wants to come to the city."
Zhang Qin is Qian Daniu's wife. They got married around the same time as Zhao Wenmu and just gave birth to a child at the beginning of the year.
She is almost one year younger than my little girl.
Zhao Wenmu felt that he understood it this time.
Qian Daniu is very busy at the crayfish restaurant and usually has no time to go back to Shandong Toucun. He plans to bring his wife and children to the city.
"Daniu, do you want me to help Zhang Qin find a job?"
Zhao Wenmu continued to ask.
Qian Daniu hesitated for a while again, and then said with determination:
"Ah Mu, I want to open a video parlor in the county that you and Ah Jing talked about before."
"Zhang Qin still has to take care of her children, and my mother doesn't have much time to go to the city to help her. If she opens a video parlor, she can look after the store and take care of her children at the same time."
"Do you think it can be done?"
Zhao Wenmu thought for a while and then asked:
"Daniu, is this your idea or Zhang Qin's?"
"Tell the truth."
Qian Daniu did not hesitate this time and answered immediately:
"It was Erniu who suggested it. I think it's a good idea. I haven't discussed it with Zhang Qin yet."
In the end, Qian Daniu inevitably lacked confidence.
Opening a video studio requires a lot of investment, and I'm afraid my wife will complain about it.
Hearing this, Zhao Wenmu breathed a sigh of relief. If this was Zhang Qin's idea, he really didn't know how to refuse.
Qian Daniu is much easier to deal with. If you have anything to say to your brother, just say it directly.
"Daniu, I don't recommend you open a video studio."
"The video studio has a complicated staff, and there are often some gangsters who come to cause trouble. Neither you nor Zhang Qin are good at dealing with these people."
Qian Daniu and Zhang Qin are both honest and dull people who cannot deal with local gangsters.
"Young man, if you don't have any skills or connections, you can't control the situation. What's more, Zhang Qin is a girl and can easily suffer losses."
Zhao Wenmu then added another blow.
This is the truth.
Qian Daniu was immediately discouraged and had no plans to open a video studio at all.
"And if the video studio wants to make money, it has to attract customers, so it will inevitably play some small action movies."
"Being caught by the police is no small matter."
In order to attract customers, video parlors usually play some romantic action movies at nightclubs. This was what Wang Youming told Zhao Wenmu in his previous life.
"I understand, Amu."
Qian Daniu was a little downcast.
After all, he is a young man. Who wouldn't want to be tired of being with his wife and their newborn child every day?
But if Zhang Qin is in her hometown, she can help her family with farm work. But if she goes to the city, she can only take care of the children and can't do anything else.
The elderly at home cannot accept it, and they themselves cannot accept it either.
Zhao Wenmu patted him on the shoulder.
"There are still several shops that A Jing bought before that have not been sold. I remember there is a house facing the street on Zhengyang Street."
"With a little renovation, we can open a small shop or breakfast restaurant. Although the space is smaller, it will definitely be fine for a family of three."
"I'll ask you when Ah Jing comes back. If the house is still there, I can sell it to you cheaper!"
Qian Daniu suddenly became excited when he heard this.
His face turned red and he didn't know what to say.
Whether it is opening a small shop or a breakfast shop, Zhang Qin can take care of the shop while taking care of her children. Not to mention making too much money, it is still no problem to earn the living expenses of their family.
This is already much better than staying in the village.
Like Zhao Wenmu, Qian Daniu and Zhang Qin originally lived in a low and cramped adobe house. After following Zhao Wenmu for more than a year, they also built a spacious and tall red brick house.
Now I plan to buy a house in the city.
The two brothers are now two of the richest families in Toucun, Shandong.
The first place is naturally the Zhao Wenyan family.
And all of this is actually attributed to Zhao Wenmu.
Qian Daniu knew that he was not smart, and the reason why Zhao Wenmu was willing to take him to play was entirely due to their friendship.
Give me peaches and give me Qiongyao in return.
Qian Daniu's reward for this is to work harder and remain as dedicated as ever.
The relationship between people is mutual.
Only your mother can always be kind to you unconditionally.
Soon Zhao Wenmu helped Qian Daniu and his wife to run the small shop.
Considering that the breakfast shop had to get up after four o'clock to make noodles and buns, and Qian Daniu was often busy at the crayfish restaurant until after ten o'clock at night, they finally decided to open a small shop.
This store is in a good location, close to the school, and the small shop generates a lot of revenue.
The video hall where Qian Daniu was stillborn also appeared in Pingyang County not long after.
Its owner is Xu Peng, who once followed Zhao Wenmu in selling wild vegetables, but later went out on his own.
The reason why Xu Peng chose to open a video parlor was precisely because he heard the news from Qian Daniu.
After Xu Peng chose to sell wild vegetables alone, his income was very good at first, far more than the three yuan salary given by Zhao Wenmu.
I was happy for this for a long time, and secretly laughed at Qian Daniu and Qian Erniu brothers for their stupidity.
However, the good times did not last long, and soon more and more people were selling wild vegetables in Pingyang County. Especially after the establishment of the convenience market, the sales of wild vegetables became increasingly difficult and the prices also dropped significantly.
Xu Peng's income has also shrunk suddenly, and it is not even as much as the salary Zhao Wenmu once paid.
He vaguely regretted it, but was too embarrassed to speak and go back.
Later, Zhao Wenmu harvested game and made crayfish and became very prosperous. However, Xu Peng could not find a way to make money. In his impatience, he began to imitate Zhao Wenmu's way and also made crayfish.
The results can be imagined.
The first batch of people who imitated Zhao Wenmu were all gone.
Zhao Wenmu had never targeted them, but there was nothing he could do about it, the timing of their entry was wrong.
The market at that time was too small, and customers had not yet completed grading and stratification, so there was no room for these imitators to survive.
After Xu Peng failed again, his mentality also changed.
Gradually, he became jealous and even hated Zhao Wenmu.
He also paid more and more attention to Zhao Wenmu's every move.
