Chatting while drinking, the atmosphere became more lively after a glass of wine.
The brothers talked about work and life, and looked at the little guys next to them who were eating with small bowls. The smiles on their faces never stopped.
The busy ones have been struggling, saying that it is just for them that the world has been broken.
"I plan to sell my current house, buy a house in the west, and choose a good junior high school for Jingrui." Xia Yunhui said this.
When it comes to children’s education, this seems to be a topic that every parent can’t avoid.
Zhao Ting asked: "Brother, are you optimistic about the house? The prices of the houses in the west have started to rise now, and they have been rising steadily. Now they are hundreds more than they were in the middle of the year."
"I have looked at a few places, but there are currently no new houses available, so they are not suitable. I will look for second-hand houses." Xia Yunhui said with a frown.
For him, this matter is also a headache.
Luo Xiyun subconsciously looked at her husband. By coincidence, Xia Zekai turned around and saw her when he was looking for the tea kettle. The two of them made eye contact but didn't understand anything.
Xia Zekai still blinked, meaning to ask: "What do you want to say?"
Angry Luo Xiyun turned away from him.
Big Brother Xia Yunfei said: "Buying a house must be carefully considered. A house worth hundreds of thousands is not a small sum."
This thing is different from his loan investment to buy a car. It is about making money. When you buy a house, you put the money into it. If you don't sell it in a short time, you won't see the money at all.
Xia Zekai said at the right time: "Brother, there is Purple Jade Garden on Xiba Road. The new building has just opened and the quality is good. It is next to the municipal primary school. For the middle school, it is an experimental middle school branch, which is almost completed."
"It's surrounded by communities for government-affiliated families. The quality of teaching is definitely good. If you have time, you can go and take a look."
"Purple Jade Garden?"
Yes, the house will be handed over in the second half of next year."
"Are you in a hurry?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Xia Yunhui nodded: "It would be best if I could move there as soon as possible. I don't have that much money on hand. I'm thinking of selling the house here and getting the money to buy it over there..."
To put it bluntly, it is replacement, Xia Zekai understood.
He asked: "How big do you want to buy?"
"It's best to have a four-bedroom apartment, and the minimum one is a three-bedroom apartment. Otherwise, there will be too many people in the family to live in," Xia Yunhui said.
His wife is an only child. After her parents retired, she lived with them and helped them take care of their children, so that both of them could work and earn money.
This makes them a family of six.
Simply upgrading to a 3-bedroom apartment feels a bit inadequate. Once you change your house, you will definitely want to upgrade to a larger one.
Xia Zekai thought about it in his mind. He remembered that Yang Tiande also bought a four-bedroom apartment there. He would ask him another day if he could live in it or if it was purely for investment.
When the thoughts came back, the brothers kept talking about the three bachelors left in the room.
Xia Zejiang has now publicly stated that he has a girlfriend, and everyone has let him go.
However, my cousin Zhao Ting and my brother-in-law Luo Xincheng are still single, especially because they have different personalities from Xia Zejiang.
Both of them have officially entered society, but Xia Zejiang is still in school. This is still an essential difference.
"Ting, it's almost time for you to find one. Make a decision as soon as possible..." Big Brother said.
Zhao Ting shook his head: "Brother, let's talk about it now. If you don't buy a house, you can't find a partner now. I'm thinking that I can take advantage of the fact that I'm getting better now and save some money after working for two years so that I can buy a house as soon as possible."
"I'm a little panicked by the increase in house prices. I don't know when it will end." Zhao Ting felt the pressure.
Originally, the price of 2,500 to 3,000 yuan per square meter was still acceptable. He felt that if he worked hard, he would be able to buy a house in two years with a loan. However, now the house prices have basically crossed the 3,000 yuan per square meter line, and it is still going on.
Isn’t it fatal to think that you can’t stop the rising trend?
Qi Lixin said: "Ting, you should try your best. Once you have finished looking at the house, my brother-in-law will give you some support."
Now that he has made money, he dares to say this.
Zhao Ting waved his hand: "Let's take a look first. Next, I plan to contract an area. This way, although it will be a little harder, I will make more money."
After hearing what he said, several people clinked their glasses and took a sip, then waited for his next words.
Zhao Ting talked about his work situation.
In the past six months, he has mastered the art of express delivery, learned how to receive and deliver packages more efficiently, and also learned how to negotiate with some 'big customers'.
He said: "Brother Kai, thanks to your reminder, I am now specifically looking for some big online stores. They sell dozens of items a day, and some of the best ones sell hundreds of items. I can make a lot of money from this."
That’s a lot of money.”
"Well, not bad, just take your time." Xia Zekai praised him.
After he finished speaking, he added: "Ting, don't be proud, you have to work hard. If nothing else, I ship two to three thousand pieces a day, do you understand?"
"Brother, you mean you send two to three thousand express delivery orders a day?" Zhao Ting's eyes bulged like a toad.
Xia Zekai smiled and nodded, and said: "Yes, Ting, are you able to transfer to the north? If possible, I will ship the express items from my factory through your channel. Although the profit per item is low,
The dosage is not large, you may need to increase the dosage later..."
This time, that time.
Upon hearing this number, everyone in the audience, not to mention Zhao Ting, was so surprised that they didn't know what to say.
Two to three thousand pieces does not cost two to three thousand yuan. Even if calculated as a strategic customer, the express delivery fee for one day alone is five to six thousand yuan.
They didn't believe that Xia Zekai only made one or two yuan per item.
The two brothers didn't know what to say.
They had never had a specific concept of their cousin Xia Zekai's career before. This was the first time they heard Xia Zekai describe his career in such a vivid and specific way, and their feelings were beyond their imagination.
After Zhao Yan heard what her cousin said, she was worried for her brother.
Not to mention her, even Qi Lixin, as a brother-in-law, was worried about his brother-in-law.
Third cousin Xia Zekai has made it clear that he can do this job for his brother-in-law, but Zhao Ting is so hesitant about it!
"Ting, if that's okay, please say something!" Qi Lixin said.
Zhao Ting was also very excited in his heart. He tried hard to control it. He was thinking just now that if he could really take this order from his cousin, then he wouldn't have to worry about anything else in the future and just sit back and make money.
But things are not that simple. Can he digest so many things from his cousin? How are the expenses settled?
They are cousins, and some things will become unsightly when other problems arise due to feelings of affection.
Xia Zekai seemed to see his hesitation and said: "As for me, the express delivery costs are paid monthly. I will pay the wages to the employees in the factory on the 2nd at the latest, and settle the raw material costs and packaging costs for the previous month before the 5th."
As for the costs such as fees and express delivery fees, if you can ensure that the goods are sent out on time, it won't be a big problem."
"Besides, money is earned by everyone. We are brothers, why not leave it to our own people." Xia Zekai said this.
The next moment, Zhao Ting stood up directly, holding the wine glass, and said in a somewhat excited tone: "Brother Kai, I won't say much more about my thanks. I've finished this glass of wine. I'll think of a way to go north later."
"Hey, isn't that right?" Xia Zekai smiled broadly, and he added: "But the ugly thing is ahead. If you delay the express delivery for me and delay my business, that won't work. I will do it then.
We need to consider replacing him."
"This is what it should be." Zhao Ting nodded without saying anything, otherwise, he would be under even greater pressure.
It's good if brothers talk openly.
The main reason why Xia Zekai didn't mention this matter before was that his cousin had just entered this industry at that time. He didn't understand anything and couldn't do it in all aspects. Giving him this job would be a harm to him and himself.
Now that Zhao Ting has been working hard for half a year, he knows that he has come out to contract the area, which means that he also understands how to do this job, and Xia Zekai is relieved.
After such an episode, the drinking atmosphere among the brothers became even more intense in the following time.
No one is jealous. They work in different industries and cannot be generalized.
The eldest brother is a car guy. He even repairs cars and is engaged in transportation. He has been a junior for 20 years. At this time, if you ask him to change industries, he will not change. His age is there and his experience is solidified.
The second brother has been working as a logistics intermediary for ten years. No matter how hard he works, he can still earn two to three hundred thousand a year. Occasionally, he can also make some money by doing other miscellaneous jobs. What would he do if he was offered express delivery?
Are you sure you will earn more than you do now?
Let's talk about Qi Lixin. He has entered the restaurant since he came out to work, and followed the master chef to choose vegetables, learn to cut vegetables, prepare vegetables, and cook. He has never done any other work in his life. If you ask him to do express delivery, tell him
Even if you make money 100%, he won’t get his hands on it.
But while the brothers were drinking, they talked about any good projects and helped each other out.
When going back, it was Luo Xiyun who was driving. She looked back at Xia Zekai, who was having fun with her two daughters, and asked him: "Zekai, can you do that?"
Xia Zekai knew that she was talking about leaving the logistics and delivery of the factory to her cousin Zhao Ting, would that work?
He said: "It's not a big problem."
"Well, it's okay if you think it's okay." Luo Xiyun stopped talking about this matter.
First, I drove to Qicheng Railway Station, sent Xia Zejiang to the station, and asked him to enter the station and buy a ticket before returning.
They drove back to the community.
Xia Zejiang watched his sister-in-law drive away and fell into deep thought thinking about what his brother said during lunch today.
During the summer vacation this year, he went to work in his brother's factory. He clearly remembered that at that time, the orders were only a thousand pieces a day. Occasionally, there would be 1,500 or 600 pieces. Unexpectedly, it was now two to three thousand pieces.
.
"For Jiayi, for love, and for the future, I have to work hard, come on!" Xia Zejiang clenched his fists in front of his chest and cheered himself up.
