When Osmanthus was in Anbei, she was an aunt in the family kindergarten of Anbei Agricultural College. After Mingdong was transferred to the imperial capital, Osmanthus had no corresponding job. Osmanthus usually does not cook or clean at home, or go to the next door to talk to her parents. Life is boring like a pool of stagnant water. Osmanthus' mother, Liu Chunhua, was restless. She looked at Osmanthus doing nothing and shook her head, always persuading her to find something to do while she was young.

Osmanthus's strong temperament is just like her mother, and she doesn't want to stay at home like this. Originally, she wanted to find something to do. She heard that the meat buns were secretly doing business to make so much money. The sister-in-law also said that the state supports it, and she immediately became angry. Surging, I can't wait to roll up my sleeves and go out to set up a stall immediately.

Ming Dong looked at Osmanthus' high fighting spirit, and his head suddenly became big: "What about the kid you go out to set up a stall?"

"What child?" Osmanthus squinted: "How old is the child, bean bag eyes will go to university, and I don't need to care about his studies, sugar bag school is out of the door, you can go to and from school by yourself, and you can eat at noon and night. If you like to cook, you can make it yourself, if you don’t like to cook, you can eat in the cafeteria, or go to my parents’ house to eat, and you can starve to death.”

After Ming Dong was transferred to the Imperial Capital, he only had half a day of classes, and it was not like there were farms and experimental fields in the past, so he usually had a lot of free time. He also knew Osmanthus' character. She had only stayed at home for less than a year, and she felt like she was going crazy all day long. This time, she had the idea of ​​doing business, but she really couldn't stop her.

"Okay, okay." Ming Dong nodded helplessly: "But Meat Bun can't delay your studies. If your grades drop a little, you should stop this business for me as soon as possible."

"I know I know." Meat Bun grinned straightly, he never thought that after his underground work passed the Ming Road, not only did he not get beaten up, but he also had an ally, and he immediately folded his hands towards Zhen Zhen excitedly: " Auntie, this time I have to thank you, thank you very much."

Zhen Zhen rolled her eyes at him, smiled and washed her hands to help make dumplings: "Since my sister-in-law also helps me with the meat buns business, why don't you two make a total sum up, it's better to set up a stall just like before, or it's still a good eight. Open a small shop."

Osmanthus pondered: "It is better to open a small shop for a long-term plan, but the rent, water, electricity, etc. will cost a lot of money, and setting up a stall may not be able to save regular customers, but there is no cost, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Zhen, you help me with the staff."

Zhen Zhen smiled and said: "I suggest opening a small shop. You can find a good location with a lot of personal traffic, don't rent it, just buy the store. In the next few years, whether you want to expand your business or do something else, don't do this house. Sell ​​it, the house in our imperial capital will become more and more valuable in the future."

Osmanthus listened to and murmured with Meat Bun for a long time, and the two fell in love with two places. The first one was near the school. There are many well-known universities such as Imperial College and National University. The traffic flow is large, and the clothes they sell are also suitable for young people. People wear. Another one is that there are a few stores in Beiyang that are vacant. You can either buy or rent. Although there are fewer people here, the customer base is a bit high-end. If you buy some high-end clothing, you can sell it at a higher price.

Zhen Zhen couldn't help but nodded when she saw the two places they were discussing. Zhen Zhen bought a lot of stores in both places, especially the Beiyang stores. Zhen Zhen secretly bought several connected ones. It is a prime location and the best shop in the future. In the future, this place will be a tourist attraction that people all over the country come to visit. One year's rent alone is enough for a family to eat and wear for a lifetime.

After the dumplings were wrapped and cooked, the meat buns and sweet-scented osmanthus were still holding paper to calculate, how much money was used to buy the shop, how much to keep the capital, and how much to keep the activity funds, and the discussion was in full swing. Ming Dong sat next to him and sighed while picking garlic: "You know that I won't go to school to find meat buns today. It's a big loss for my son to get in with a wife." But obviously Ming Dong can't be the owner of Osmanthus, Osmanthus. Hearing this, he didn't even give her a look.

After Meat Bun returned to school, it took half a month to make up for the missed homework and passed the teacher's class test with a high score. Osmanthus finally decided to open the shop at the intersection of several schools. According to Zhen Zhen's suggestion, she bought a 50-square-meter shop without spending too much money on decoration. She just painted white on the walls and laid the floor on the floor. Leather, separated a fitting room with a curtain, and placed two large full-length mirrors, even if the store was renovated.

The store has a store, and the goods sold have to go to the south. The wife bought a ticket and went to Guangdong Province. After half a month, they not only brought back a dozen sacks of clothes, but also sent back 20 bags by train. Said to be at least half a month to arrive. Zhen Zhen helped to order hanging nets and long racks for hanging clothes, Osmanthus and Roubao were busy for two days and hung up their clothes. Don't count the days, find a Sunday, hang a plaque, put a string of firecrackers, and the Guifu Lanxiang boutique clothing store opens.

Today is the weekend, and the weather is very good. The students like to go out and take advantage of the rest day to see what new shops have opened outside the school. The hanging of firecrackers attracted many students. Looking at the jeans and windbreakers hanging on the door, the students rushed over and scrambled to squeeze in. Osmanthus and Roubao are busy in and out, one helps with the clothes and the other collects the money. The two of them watch and listen to all directions. They not only keep introducing the styles of clothes to customers, but also pay attention to whether they are sneakily entrained. , very busy.

Busy until twelve o'clock noon, the crowd slowly dispersed, looking at the half-empty wall, Osmanthus suddenly felt that her waist was no longer sore and her legs were no longer sore, and she commanded the meat bun in a spirited way: "Son, go buy some Come back for dinner."

The shop is also very close to Meat Bun's school. He rode on the bicycle parked at the door, and after a while, he called back two big boxes full of meals. After the mother and son finished eating face to face, Osmanthus took a cup of tea and took a sip: "Tomorrow, there will be not many students in class. You don't have to come over to make up for your class. We will go to the south to stock up when half of the clothes sent are sold."

"Okay." Ma Liu packed up the lunch box, wiped the cashier with a rag, and the mother and son took a rest for a while and then took out the clothes from the small warehouse to fill the blank wall. Someone came in.

Osmanthus has always had an aggressive spirit since she was young, and this time she started her own business even more vigorously. Meat Bun and his mother have partnered in business, and he can spend more time on study. Knowledge, in addition to going to the clothing store to help out on weekends, is to go out to investigate the market. After graduation, I plan to use the money I have earned in the past few years to start my own business. When that time comes, I will give all the clothing stores to Osmanthus, and I will not interfere.

The sweet-scented osmanthus has been dry for a year, and bought the large storefront of more than 60 square meters next door. When went to the south to buy goods, it was closed for half a month. found a house builder to open up the two houses, not only The number of fitting rooms has been increased, and it is not only clothes that are sold, but also have a place in the store, such as backpacks, shoes, hair flowers, and hair cards. These little things are not expensive, but the profits are surprisingly high. The female students of the nearby schools and the female workers at work like to stroll around when they have time, and they can feast their eyes even if they don’t buy them.

While the Osmanthus business was booming, Zhen Zhen was also thinking about her future. At present, she has to look through the account books to think of the assets in her hands. Within the scope allowed by the policy, Zhen Zhen has bought a lot of stores in several future first-tier cities. She opened some stores and hired people to take care of them. All rented out. The houses that are relatively neat are also rented out for others to live in, and the shabby ones are not good enough, so they are directly put there for demolition.

In the space, only a few of the three hundred boxes of gold dug back from the Golden Manor were used, and all kinds of antiques were placed everywhere in the space. The antique calligraphy and paintings have been registered and classified in Zhen Zhen over the years. Those belonging to the national treasure are all neatly placed on the shelves. Due to the special environment of the space, there is no need to worry about the antique calligraphy and painting being oxidized and damaged. , the others are also placed in a separate room, and will take own furnishings from here in the future.

Zhen Zhen's current situation is that she is in a treasure mountain but she can't show it uprightly, she needs an open business. Zhen Zhen took a week off and walked around the imperial capital, and finally her eyes were set on an old furniture factory.

This furniture factory existed before the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, all the carpenters who came to work here were well-known carpenters in the imperial capital during the Republic of China. After the liberation of At the same time, according to the most traditional method, it takes more than ten years of hands-on teaching to calculate the teacher. Later, it was converted into a state-owned economy because of the movement, and because the finely crafted furniture became the four old ones, so the factory could only make the simplest and most common style of furniture that did not even have a pattern.

Originally, during the movement, the furniture factory could not survive. After the movement, the furniture with no features could not be sold. The leaders of the factory did not have the courage to reform and innovate. People serve as an excuse not to find a way to make money, so after a few years of lingering, the factory finally can’t hold on and will close down this year.

Seeing that dozens of workers in the factory are about to lose their jobs, the oldest are in their fifties and the youngest are in their 30s and 40s. When the workers heard the news, they blocked outside the factory director's office every day, insisting that the unit give an explanation. Solving the problem of employment for these workers is the top priority in the district. Even the city leaders were alarmed and ordered to find someone willing to take over the factory within a month.

There are so many workers in such a large factory, and the price is not just a few hundred or several thousand. Although the factory can be taken over by the workers first, but basically they are craftsmen for a lifetime, and those who have the ability and courage are even more. Very few.

Zhen Zhen Xiangzhong has a large factory area in the second ring road, and she also likes the unique skills of these veteran craftsmen, but she, a female college student who has not graduated, directly said that she would buy a factory, which would inevitably be a little troublesome. She thought of Xi Junjie's uncle, the current mayor of the imperial capital, Xi Changshan. At present, this project is treated as a top priority both in the district and in the city. If she communicates with the mayor, other matters can be solved easily by the government. It's just a question of how to speak.

Because Zhen Zhen has been asking for leave this week, Xi Junjie has not seen him for several days, and finally came back on the weekend, Xi Junjie originally wanted to go out to watch a movie with Zhen Zhen, but only when he got home did he find out that the old lady at home told him Go back to eat and get together.

Meetings at home will be held every ten days and a half months. One is that the old couple wants to be lively with their children and grandchildren, and the other is to connect with each other. Ling Xiulan was preparing what she would bring to the old house tomorrow, and looked up at Xi Junjie: "Go and ask Zhen Zhen if she's going? When your mother called and said that she hadn't seen her for a long time, she really missed her."

Xi Junjie laughed suddenly, and packed two cantaloupes to the next door to visit, Zhen Zhen was writing and drawing on a piece of paper and thinking about the factory, when she saw Xi Junjie coming, she immediately laughed, stood up and asked him through the window: " How did you come?"

Xi Junjie picked up the cantaloupe in his hand: "I'll give you fruit."

Zhen Zhen put down the pen in her hand and came out of the room, Wang Sufen also heard the movement, took scissors and a basin and came out to cut a few bunches of grapes for Xi Junjie to eat.

The grapes grown at home, because of the reason of Zhen Zhen, grow sweet and big without fertilizer, and they can be eaten by flushing the floating ash with well water. Now Li Muwu often brings a few strings when he goes out to fish. When fishing together, he grabs two grapes to eat from time to time. If he is addicted, he will compete with him to see who catches the most fish. If Li Muwu loses, he will give everyone the grapes to eat. Nearby neighbors know that the grapes grown by Lao Li's family are extraordinarily sweet.

Wang Sufen put the washed grapes next to Xi Junjie: "Eat two to quench your thirst."

Xi Junjie said that Xie brought some grapes to eat, and accompanied Mrs. Li to talk, and only then did he get to the point: "Tomorrow we will go back to the old house for dinner, my grandma hasn't seen Zhen Zhen for a long time, and she misses her very much. Yes, let me come over and ask if it is convenient for Fang to take her with you."

Mrs. Li smiled and glanced at Zhen Zhen: "I have nothing to do here, you ask Zhen Zhen, I don't know if she is free because she has been busy talking recently."

Zhen Zhen was thinking about how to talk to Li Changshan, if she went directly to the old house, she wouldn't have to ask Xi Junjie to take her alone, so she hurriedly smiled: "I'm free tomorrow, I miss Grandma Xi too. It's over." After thinking about this, I have to say hello to Xi Junjie first, then turned around and said to him, "I don't know if the uncle will go tomorrow or not, I still have something I want to ask the uncle for help."

Xi Junjie felt a little curious when he heard this: "What's the matter? Can't I help you?"

After listening to it, Mrs. Li hurriedly said, "Zhen Zhen, it's okay to trouble others with everything. If there's anything you can't do at home, you can tell your uncle and let him find a solution for you."

"It's not a big deal, it just happens that Uncle Xi is in charge of it." Zhen Zhen smiled and said directly, "I heard that there is a furniture factory nearby that is going to close down. Now the government is looking for someone to take over, right?"

When Xi Junjie went home last time, he saw Xi Changshan mentioning this matter with a worried look on his face. To be honest, if no one took over, he would have to arrange these workers to go to other factories, so that they could not become unstable factors.

Seeing Xi Junjie nodding, Zhen Zhen said slowly: "I want to take over this factory."

Xi Junjie was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhen Zhen in surprise: "Have you thought about it? I heard that this factory has a backlog of raw materials and furniture, but there has been no sales, plus dozens of workers are waiting for wages, I'm afraid you won't be able to take over if you don't have thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. Besides, you haven't graduated yet, do you have time to take care of the factory?"

When Mrs. Li heard that it was going to cost tens of thousands of yuan, she was also taken aback: "Oh, that's a lot of money." She just wanted to ask Zhen Zhen if she had that much money? Suddenly I remembered that Zhen Zhen took out the box full of golden jewelry a while ago, thinking that Zhen Zhen probably wanted to sell the jewelry, so she didn't talk too much.

Zhen Zhen smiled with confidence on her face: "Since I want to take over this factory, I have naturally thought of all this, but I have to talk to Mr. Xi about the specifics. As for the management of the factory, I also have a good candidate. ."

Xi Junjie didn't talk too much after hearing this, this is Zhen Zhen's important matter, all he can do is to support her silently from behind, and spare no effort to help her if there is any need for help.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhen Zhen carried her bag, the fruits and fresh vegetables produced in her home, and got into the Xi family's car. After the 80th birthday, Mrs. Xi went to Mr. Zhang to check her pulse once a month. After Mr. Zhang's conditioning, now the old lady not only bid farewell to the bitter and astringent traditional Chinese medicine soup, she used to wake up at night and couldn't sleep. The sleepiness and dizziness are gone, and the wind is blowing when walking, and a lot of black stubble grows out of the silver-white hair.

Mrs. Xi is grateful to Zhen Zhen for asking the holy doctor of traditional Chinese medicine to take her pulse. In addition, the two families are more familiar with each other during this period of time. Every time she goes back to Mr. Zhang's pulse, she will visit Lao Li's house. say something. What Madam Xi and Ling Xiulan liked the most was the garden of Lao Li's house. The variety of flowers and plants and the green vegetables were full of vitality and comfort at first glance.

Seeing Zhen Zhen coming, the old lady Xi immediately smiled and squinted her eyes: "Zhen Zhen is here? What is this for?"

"Hello, Grandma Xi, I've been doing well for a while now. I brought some fruits and vegetables that I grew at home. They're not worth much, but they're fresher than the ones I bought." Zhen Zhen took a large bag of grapes and vegetables to Elder Xi Madam look.

"Oh, this feeling is good, I like the things you grow in your home, they taste better than the outside." Mrs. Xi asked the nanny to take the things down, and did not forget to instruct: "Wash the grapes and bring them out, I will After eating the grapes from Zhen Zhen's house, others will not be able to eat them anymore."

Since Mrs. Xi's birthday last time, Mrs. Xi had offended the family, and Mrs. Xi has not let her in for a year, even Shang Qingran is no exception. The mother and daughter didn't seem to have expected the old lady to be so heartless, and they stopped a lot for a while. It wasn't until the New Year's Day this year that the mother and the mother brought things to the door for New Year's greetings. The old lady felt that it was almost a year after drying, so she nodded and let them in.

Xi Sumei looked at Zhen Zhen carrying the vegetables and fruits and said that she had grown them at home, and the old lady happily accepted them. She couldn't help but remember when the old lady was celebrating her 80th birthday, this girl also had a natural smile like this. Talking about the family's local specialties, the congratulations that I brought out made me feel particularly embarrassed. This time, what he brought was really earth, but Xi Sumei remembered the consequences of making the old lady angry, so she could only try her best to keep her mouth shut and not dare to say anything.

The grapes were served in several plates, and Xi Changshan also came back from outside. Mr. Xi put down the newspaper and glanced at him: "Why are your eyes dark? The furniture factory is not over yet?"

Xi Changshan sighed: "No one dares to take over such a big factory, and those who have the guts don't have that much money. The factory owes the workers half a year's wages, and if they don't earn a penny, they will go in with thousands of dollars. This matter Is it difficult?"

Zhen Zhen's eyes lit up when she heard the words, she wanted to talk about this with Xi Changshan after dinner, but he didn't think he brought it up first, and asked quickly: "Master Xi, I don't know what conditions are needed to take over this factory? Look at me. Ok?"

Xi Changshan didn't understand, looked at Zhen Zhen and asked, "Are you saying that your family wants to pick it up? Do you know the situation of the factory? You can ask him to talk to me."

Zhen Zhen smiled: "I want to pick it up myself."

This time, not only Xi Changshan was stunned, but the whole family was stunned. There was silence in the room. It seemed that no one thought that a little girl who had not graduated from college would have such courage.

Xi Changshan was the first to come back to his senses: "This is not a matter of taking it as soon as you say it. First of all, you have to invest a lot of money in the early stage. You have to ensure that you have the ability to pay the workers' wages on time." Zhen Zhen took her own bag and took it out. A certificate of deposit was handed to Xi Changshan, who took it in confusion, opened it, and saw Li Mingzhen's name written on it, and then saw that the amount below was a full 30,000 yuan.

Zhen Zhen smiled lightly: "Is it enough?"

"Enough!" Xi Changshan was shocked. He didn't expect this little girl to have so much money, but thinking about the gift she gave her mother on her 80th birthday, she didn't think it was a big deal. If the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum were sold, it would be no problem for one or two thousand dollars, and some people who dare to give such a generous gift have a normal family background.

Returning the certificate of deposit to Zhen Zhen, Xi Changshan paid more attention to Zhen Zhen: "I know that you have majored in economics at Imperial University, but this management factory is different from what is taught in the book, if you have money, I have to take it To sell the factory to you, you have to make sure that the factory can go on, and that these dozens of employees can have food, so I dare to give you the factory with confidence.”

Zhen Zhen nodded: "Uncle Xi is right, you are responsible for the factory and the employees, but for me, I must have considered this factory carefully, after all, no one's money comes from the wind. , I don't dare to fight an uncertain battle."

Zhen Zhen took out a stack of paper from her bag and handed it to Xi Changbo: "This is my idea, please take a look."

After flipping through it, saw three big characters written on the first line: planning book, and Zhen Zhen wrote five pages of paper densely and densely in graceful handwriting on the back. Xi Changshan took a deep breath and looked at it seriously.

Xi Changshan and Zhen Zhen were talking about business. For a while, no one in the room dared to speak loudly. Chang Leqing wished that this matter would be settled soon, and the provincial Xi Changshan would not eat and sleep well all day long. Ling Sumei rolled her back a little jealously, and swept her bag incessantly, scratching her head to see how much money someone had on the deposit slip to buy a factory. Shang Qingran glanced at Ling Sumei's face and knew what her mother was thinking, she pinched her hand secretly, Ling Sumei then narrowed her eyes, remembering that her family's wealth was less than 100 yuan, she immediately took it very unbalanced. He took a bitter bite from a piece of cantaloupe.

After reading the thick planning book in his hand, Xi Changshan looked at Zhen Zhen with a different look: "I knew you were very smart, but I didn't expect you to be more far-sighted than I thought, if you can follow this Do what is said above, then I can make the decision and let you take over the factory."
