"Isn't it just a matter of opening a few more stores? I have to leave it to me. My Chen family has been in business for generations. When it comes to how to do business, I am sure of the two of us."
"Xueru..."
When Chen Xueru said this, it was really difficult for Fan Jinyou to refute. Even if Fan Jinyou said that you, Chen Xueru, have been doing business for several generations, and I, Fan Jinyou, have been doing business for several lifetimes, Chen Xueru would not believe it.
"how?"
"Okay, I'll leave the clothing business to you."
Fan Jin has experienced this era several times, and there are not too many ways to make money.
Although each experience has differences in details, the general direction of the development of the times will not change much.
With the reform and opening up, residents' incomes have increased, and making money from food, clothing, housing, transportation, and reselling electrical appliances and electronic products has never changed.
Although the clothing business is the most convenient, Chen Xueru wanted to do it on her own, so Fan Jinyou would have to worry more if he chose other industries.
In the next period of time, Chen Xueru was busy contracting silk stores and opening clothing stores.
Fan Jinyou has not been idle at home either. Taking advantage of this free time, he has been in contact about buying two sets of yards.
By buying a yard near the front door, Fan Jinyou is not bothering anyone else.
After all, he has been working in the streets for more than 20 years. Which family's yard has just been returned by the government, which family's people are preparing to go abroad, these things are all clear to Fan Jin.
In the end, I spent more than 10,000 yuan and gold bars worth 10,000 yuan to buy a yard with two entrances and a yard with three entrances.
For the two-entry yard, you can just buy it with money. The head of the third-entry yard is planning to move his family abroad. Fan Jinyou has no foreign exchange, so he spent a lot of gold. Of course, the price will be lowered a lot.
.
The reason why Fan Jinyou was willing to use gold bars was that the two yards were not far apart, and there were only two houses in between.
Secondly, according to Fan Jinyou's memory, this courtyard house will be preserved in the future and will not be demolished.
In order to sign the contract and complete the transfer procedures as soon as possible, Fan Jinyou also used the favors he had sold during the ten years.
After that, we started to contact people to repair the house, repair the tiles, paint, plant grass, and plant trees. The most important thing is that the yard has access to the street, and at least the bathroom must be renovated in the yard to be suitable for living.
After living in Chen Xueru's house for so many years, Fan Jinyou showed great enthusiasm for the house he bought with money. He took out all the carpentry skills he had not used for many years and worked in the newly purchased yard all day long.
"Lao Fan, you don't even go to work. You don't have a job anymore. You leave early and come home late all day long. You didn't come to the silk store to help me. I'm so busy running the clothing store that I can't even see you.
.What are you doing every day?”
After the children went to college, it was just the couple alone when it was time to eat.
"I'm preparing a surprise for you, and I won't let you know until it's ready."
"That's just right. I've prepared a surprise for you. I'll tell you when your surprise surprises me."
"What else did you buy me? First of all, let's agree, I already have enough clothes. Even if you order a suit for me, I won't be interested."
"Don't worry, it's definitely not an ordinary thing. It's a surprise. How could you guess it so easily?" Chen Xueru said with confidence.
"Then I'll wait. You said you're so busy. How are you preparing for the clothing store?"
"It's all ready. One store will be opened in our front door and one store will be opened in Wangfujing. Then if the business is good, I will open another store in Dongdan and Xidan respectively."
Chen Xueru works very grandly, always choosing the most prosperous places with the largest flow of people.
"Well, that's right. As long as you listen to me and imitate southern styles, business won't be bad."
"Hey, you have to get angry. Fan Jinyou, business is not as simple as you think. Don't think that just by coming up with a good idea, you can compare to me in business, Chen Xueru, who has been in business for half his life."
"Although you have been in business for half your life, I have also worked in the Street Economics Department for half my life, and I have been dealing with you business people for half my life. In terms of experience, I am no less than you. Comrade Chen Xueru, it's time to listen to your men. I still want to listen."
If he wants Chen Xueru to do business over Xu Huizhen, in Fan Jinyou's view, the biggest problem is to make Chen Xueru listen to him.
"I'll try to listen to you this time. If it doesn't work, I'll deal with you later."
Being obedient is a good start.
"That's right, come and go, I'll have a drink with you. I wish you good luck and a prosperous business."
"You didn't show your face when I was busy, and now you just want to fool around with a glass of wine?"
"No, if you are too busy, I will go over and help you starting tomorrow."
"It's too late now. I've finished renting a house, decorating, and recruiting people. What's the point of coming here now? You can just be busy with your own affairs. Now you just need to prepare some more clothes before you can open your business. What's the point of you coming here now? I don’t know how to step on a sewing machine.”
"I'm not very normal. You've been the shopkeeper or manager of a silk and satin shop for so many years, and you haven't learned how to do it. Do you need to say something more?"
"Don't mention this matter." Changing the subject, Chen Xueru was also very skillful: "Guess who I saw in the store today?"
"Do you still want me to guess for such a simple question? Apart from meeting Xu Huizhen, who else is worthy of your special mention?"
The competition between two women, Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen, has never stopped for so many years. When there is nothing to fight for, they can still compete to be the leader.
Chen Xueru contracted the silk shop, Xu Huizhen also contracted the tavern, and also took over the small restaurant, which was handed over to Zhao Yali to run. The business is now booming.
Xu Huizhen still took advantage of the first public-private partnership. The small restaurant has always been under the management of the small restaurant. Otherwise, at this time, even if the restaurant business is so good, it would not be Xu Huizhen's turn to take over the contract.
"It's Xu Huizhen, but this time I'm not talking about Xu Huizhen."
"Why do your words sound so convoluted? Are you Xu Huizhen?"
"It's Xu Huizhen, but what I want to say this time is that Xu Huizhen brought two country girls from the countryside to make clothes in the store today."
"Isn't this normal? Xu Huizhen's family is from a rural area. It's normal to have several rural relatives. Even if they are from the city, who doesn't have a few rural relatives?"
As soon as Chen Xueru said it, Fan Jinyou knew that it was Xu Huizhi's eldest daughter He Chunfen and second daughter He Lixia who had entered the city.
Speaking of which, Fan Jinyou has not seen these two children for many years. After the children grew up, no one needed to take care of them. When Xu Huizhi went to the city to ask Cai Quanwu for food, she never took care of the children again.
