Gu Si'er and Sun Wufu are very different from Zhang Shihui.
Gu Si'er, eight years older than Ning Weimin, is a factory worker.
Be trustworthy, abide by the rules, and work with great agility. No matter how difficult the task is, it can always be completed quickly and well.
Sun Wufu, five years older than Ning Weimin, was a blind drifter who ran away from the countryside.
But he has a gentle personality and is honest and friendly. He usually doesn't talk too much and is willing to work hard. He can be found wherever there is dirty work and tiring work.
What's especially good is that you can follow Ning Weimin's instructions meticulously. That's really obedient.
To put it bluntly, both of them are typical doers, unlike Zhang Shihui who is a talker.
But they do not have high requirements for life and are easily satisfied with the status quo.
Especially when it comes to money, the two of them are simply the kind of people who can settle down with a small amount of money.
Although they earn much less money than Zhang Shihui, each of them can only earn 18,000 yuan a month, but it is not enough, but more than enough, and they are quite happy.
Especially Sun Wufu, because he was absorbed by Ning Weimin, he made money much earlier than Gu Si'er.
Now I have a small deposit of 200,000 yuan, and the annual interest alone is more than 20,000 yuan.
Although it cannot be compared with those "big investors" and "giant investors", such cash assets are already considered the best among self-employed individuals in Beijing.
As usual, the two of them don't have any bad habits and they both enjoy themselves quite a lot.
In addition to playing with his fish and enjoying the home life of his wife and children, Gu Si'er's greatest enjoyment is just eating, drinking, playing and having fun with three or five good buddies.
Sun Wufu neither prostitutes nor gambles. He just likes to deal with those dazzling second-hand goods every day and calculate how much foreign exchange he earns from foreigners.
Then he used these harvests to take the folks from his hometown to the bathhouse to have a refreshing wash and soak, prepare some hard vegetables, boil some wine, and talk about things in the capital and his hometown.
Especially after these two people got to know each other, they met each other every day in the Temple of Heaven, one in the Zhai Palace, and the other guarded the Southern Chef. They gradually became familiar with each other. In the end, they naturally became friends.
This time it was even better, the two of them began to learn from each other's preferences and influence each other.
Every day when the garden is closed, I prepare some random vegetables and set up a small table under the red wall and blue tiles under the pines and cypresses to drink.
Gu Si'er taught Sun Wufu how to judge the quality of tropical fish, what kind of goldfish and what kind of aquatic plants are beautiful, and showed off the dragon fish he got from the south for Ning Weimin, saying that it was a magical fish with a lifespan of hundreds of years, which made Sun Wufu stunned.
Stunned.
And Sun Wufu talked to him about the fun of collecting second-hand goods, showing off his partial knowledge of antiquities he learned from Ning Weimin, and also let him know that gold can be found in rags, and maybe an inconspicuous broken jar can be worth a few dollars.
Hundreds and thousands of fun.
Just like this, with the sea and the sky wide open, carefree, chatting, playing cards and chess, the two of them lived an even more beautiful life.
Gradually, Sun Wufu's house became filled with several glass tanks of goldfish with golden threads and a tank of flashy tropical fish. The fish-raising furniture in Gu Si'er's house were also replaced with antiques from the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China.
And the most important thing is that even though both of them are small traders, they don't have to worry about any risks in their business.
Who gave them Ning Weimin's connections and financial resources to back them up?
They occupy such a precious place in the Temple of Heaven, so they almost only have to concentrate on their work.
I earn a steady flow of money every day, and I have a stable meal without any worries.
It can be said that the income is higher than that of state-owned units, but it does not lose the comfort of state-owned units. Where can I find such a suitable job?
Therefore, they are very satisfied with their current income and life, and have almost no intention to change the current situation of life.
Even after seeing the wedding of Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko, they were surprised and surprised, and novel and novel, but that was it.
They were just happy for Ning Weimin and truly felt that such a pomp did not insult Ning Weimin's status.
However, there has never been any envy, jealousy, hatred, or the desire to work hard and catch up. Instead, I have been content with the status quo and lived my own life happily.
But to be honest, Ning Weimin doesn't really want to see them coveting this comfort zone and living like this.
Because he knows very well how huge the changes will be in the future, and the market is also sailing against the current. If he doesn't advance, he will retreat.
It would be useless if these two people really continued to work in such a leisurely manner.
What sounds good is that those who are content are always happy; what sounds bad is that they don’t seek progress and are willing to be a frog in the well.
He wanted to help them, not to destroy them.
Raise two idiots who are gradually disconnected from social life and lack competitiveness and enterprising spirit.
Therefore, considering their respective conditions and limitations, he still called them over and made new plans and adjustments to their career directions.
To put it simply, it means giving them more weight, more burdens, and more tasks.
He wants to forcefully stop their desire to continue to live in their comfort zone, and force them to regain their ambition and sense of responsibility to find more beautiful scenery.
As for how to do it? What to do?
There is no need to worry, the direction is very clear.
On Gu Si'er's side, Ning Weimin wanted to invest 200,000 yuan and let Gu Si'er get 50,000 yuan so that they could jointly open an aquarium company.
In addition to setting up an equipment store, we also need to rent a place in the suburbs to dig a hole and open a fish factory to breed both goldfish and arowana.
As for market prospects and business development, Gu Si'er hardly needs to worry about it.
Because Ning Weimin is so knowledgeable.
First of all, because arowana is still a fish species that is difficult to reproduce artificially, and its number in its place of origin is very small, it is becoming increasingly rare.
Even since 1977, it has been listed as a first-level protected fish in the Washington Wildlife Conservation Treaty.
In recent years, arowana has been listed as a prohibited fish species in many countries.
Therefore, the value of arowana has doubled in the international market, and rising prices are a long-term trend.
Moreover, Chinese people have always had a "fever" mentality and a "herd" mentality. In a few years, "Arowana Fever" will soon arise in the south and quickly spread to the north.
The popular pattern is probably the same as the "tropical fish craze" that emerged in the 1970s.
However, the situation in China is very different from that in the 1970s. There are more and more rich people now, especially the arowana, which is a "noble" pet and is not something ordinary people can care about.
So, this also determines that once the "Arowana craze" becomes a trend in the domestic market, it will definitely have considerable speculative attributes and become a game for the rich.
By then, not to mention golden arowanas, even silver dragons, a fish over 20 centimeters can be sold for thousands of yuan a day.
For example, in 1985, Ning Weimin spent tens of thousands of yuan to get Gu Si to get more than a dozen arowanas, including four species: blue dragon, red dragon, gold dragon, and silver dragon.
If you want to take action in the future, it will not be a problem to acquire several million of precious fish species such as blue dragons and red dragons.
But of course Ning Weimin would not be so stupid. As a time traveler, he is the only person today who knows the artificial breeding method of arowana.
Now that he has taught it to Gu Si'er, this guy has hatched more than sixty little dragons for him.
There are red ones, gold ones, and silver ones, but there is no good news about the blue ones yet.
For him, using these arowanas for breeding is a very profitable business.
So with such a trump card, he doesn't have to do much at all. He just needs to wait for the wind to arrive and take action when the wind blows the strongest. Not only can he make money from the northerners, but he can even export the south in reverse, and even export it to the outside world.
Exports are all huge profits.
What will happen then?
He is the contemporary Dragon King!
The price of arowana in the national market depends on his face.
So it was just the right time to expand the scale and start preparing for mass production in advance. No matter how much money he invested, he was not worried that he would not be able to get it back.
However, despite this, it must be admitted that there is still a certain amount of luck involved in the pairing of arowana and fish.
Like the blue dragon, he only has one pair.
What if this pair had no feelings for each other, or one of them died accidentally.
Then he has the means but nowhere to use them. This is just doing everything he can to obey fate, and he is just gambling on his character.
As for the goldfish, although they are not worth much, compared with the arowana, the unit price is far different, one day, one place.
But if you look at it in the long run, the goldfish is better than the long-term water flow, the shipment volume is large, and the profit is actually greater than the arowana.
Because this thing is a consumable. In the future, goldfish will be needed not only in major park lakes and ponds, but also in major units, major hotels, various hotels, restaurants, restaurants, and shops.
Anyway, as long as there are artificial pools and fountains, there will be a supply of goldfish.
To put it bluntly, this thing is just like the landscaping industry. As long as there are regular big customers, it is a business of just counting the money.
It just so happens that building relationships is Director Ning Weimin's specialty. In addition, his personal power is already considerable, so how can he still lack business in this area?
At least for now, what Yunyuan, Tan Palace Restaurant, Maxim Restaurant, Temple of Heaven Park, as well as the two cultural associations supported by Ning Weimin, the soon-to-open Pierre Cardon Hotel, and the directly-operated stores of Pierre Cardon Company
, as well as those manufacturers, publishing houses, and art academies that have many cooperative relationships with Ning Weimin.
These related households alone are enough to absorb the goldfish output of their fish factory.
If there are pools or fountains, at least hundreds, if not thousands, of them will be needed.
If you don’t have a pool, you should get a big fish basin and raise dozens of fish in the house to add a bit of cultural atmosphere.
In other words, as long as Gu Sier is willing to work, even if it requires recruiting a lot of workers, the operating costs will increase several times, but in fact there will be no operating risks.
Because even if they don't sell arowana for takeout, they just raise the most common goldfish, and they don't even need to set up a stall in the flower, bird, fish and insect market, they don't have to worry about sales, and can directly and immediately expand their income.
The only thing we have to bear is to work hard and ensure supply.
What's more, Ning Weimin gave Gu Si'er full responsibility for these industries, and he was considered to be the top leader, so he had no constraints on him at all.
Moreover, if Gu Si'er invests 50,000 yuan, he can get back 40% of the shares, which is equivalent to Ning Weimin investing twice as much as he did to buy him.
So how could he not be tempted by such a generous offer?
So after the two of them talked about it, Gu Si'er didn't think about it for long when he returned home. Two days later, he willingly jumped out of his comfortable "well mouth".
Nothing else, except that he himself likes to play with fish. He never dreamed that one day he would have his own fish factory and be able to deal with tens of thousands of cute little fish every day.
More importantly, the cakes Ning Weimin drew for him were too tempting.
He was actually asked to be the legal person and general manager of this company, and Gu Si'er calculated that if everything went well, his income could be doubled every month at least.
In other words, as long as he embarks on this path, he will no longer be a "fish seller", nor will he be called a "fish handler", but an upright and upright general manager of the "Aquatic Company" who will never be ashamed to show his business card.
.
Well, even his wife said that he is not what he used to be. He has changed from a shotgun to a cannon.
He claimed that he had never dreamed that a man like him, who "fishes for fish and shrimps, delays crops, is young, and loses his ambition in playing with things", could actually make a name for himself by relying on this unattainable ability.
It is even possible to earn a fortune.
It can be regarded as the end of all the hardships.
Then savor this taste. As a man, what else can he say at this time?
Even if his wife is so proud of him, he can't be cowardly. He can no longer be greedy for a comfortable life without making progress.
That's a waste of time.
Do it! You must do it!
Similar to the method of luring Gu Si'er to advance, Ning Weimin also easily let Sun Wufu put a collar on his own neck and took the initiative to become a donkey.
You know, although Sun Wufu has no wife or children, as a rural person, he still has deep feelings for his relatives and fellow villagers in his hometown.
Especially because he was enjoying a good life in the capital, and even his relatives were treated differently in his hometown.
Now the whole village respects their family as gods and thinks of them in every good thing.
Sun Wufu's brother always writes letters saying that the whole family is proud of Sun Wufu.
He also told him that people from home come to ask Sun Wufu to bring him to the capital to earn money every day, and people who want to marry Sun Wufu are almost breaking the threshold, so he said hello to his brother in advance to avoid letting him
I was caught off guard when I returned home for the New Year.
Sun Wufu felt even more proud, and he had the responsibility and obligation to help these poor folks as much as possible.
It's just a pity that he himself has noticed that there are obviously fewer second-hand goods to be collected in the capital, and the quality of the things collected is not as good as in the past. It is obvious that there is no big deal in this industry.
If he brings people out from his hometown again, he really has no confidence that he can feed such people.
In this way, when he was feeling a little embarrassed, Ning Weimin pointed out the way for him, and he naturally became enlightened.
Ning Weimin also wanted to formally partner with him to open a used goods recycling company, investing 300,000 yuan himself and asking him to contribute 100,000 yuan.
Then the operation is divided into three parts.
One is to continue to collect used items related to literature and toys.
However, in view of the current shortage of second-hand goods in the capital, Ning Weimin suggested that he shift his target to Taiyuan, Shanxi and Xi'an, Shaanxi, for off-site acquisitions across provinces and cities. There must be a lot of good stuff.
Second, Ning Weimin also planned to inform relevant units and provide all the waste recycling work to Sun Wufu's people.
After each month, schedule a time and come to your door to pick up the goods on time.
Especially places like Tan Palace Restaurant, Maxim, Menimus and Pierre Cardon Hotels, as well as major directly-operated stores, you don’t even need to give cash, you can just get the goods first and then settle the monthly payment, all kinds of packaging
There are so many boxes, wine bottles, and beverage bottles that it couldn’t be fatter.
The third is to expand the categories of acquisition business in Beijing, and it does not necessarily have to be what it was in the past.
You can also collect various other miscellaneous items, as long as old things, clothes, furniture, daily necessities, newspapers, posters, pictures of beautiful women, anything will do. Just put them in categories and rent a larger warehouse.
If nothing else, Ning Weimin expected that he would make many big moves in the film and television industry in the future, and these collected items were a ready-made prop warehouse.
So when Sun Wufu thought about it, he seemed to be really capable of doing this. Not only was his basic income guaranteed, but his territory expanded and there were more things to do, so he needed manpower.
For the sake of my parents and fellow villagers, for my loved ones to continue their current happy life in the village.
He also willingly accepted this "canonization" and continued to serve as a pawn for Ning Weimin, becoming a "king of rags" leading dozens of people.
Although he was a bit passive, he was still grateful.
