It was Lumi's first time visiting the market after returning. The open-air market in the 1980s was a feature of this era, but it was also a fact that there was a shortage of supplies.
Lumi wanted to give everyone something fresh to eat. There was no seafood, no mushrooms, and the southern fruits had not been shipped over yet. Forget it, forget it. Let's focus on meat. Lumi bought a large piece of ribs, a stupid chicken, and a big bass. He walked forward and finally saw a shrimp seller. He bought a few pounds without hesitation, and picked some vegetables and fruits. Finally, he arrived home.
She put down her things and went to fetch her grandparents home before starting to show off her skills. Lu Fengjun and Liu Jie came back from the stall and were shocked to see the table full of food." Lumi, when, when did you learn how to cook?”
"I just watched you cook normally and gave it a try today. How is it? Do I still have the talent to cook? Grandma, Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Xiaolong, everyone sit down and taste my cooking!”
In her previous life, Lumi had never cooked much for Liu Jie. Liu Jie was a conflicted person. She loved her child, but at the same time, she hated her child for not doing anything. He treated Lumi and Lu Xiaolong the same way. After training them, they were both half-baked.
Lumi didn't do any housework after she got married. It wasn't until she went to Russia that she really started doing housework. Later, with the birth of her daughter, cooking became a habit.
Lumi's cooking was not bad. It didn't matter if you were talented in cooking. It all depended on whether you wanted to do it well or not. If you had the heart, you could accumulate insufficient experience every time and improve the next time. There would definitely be progress.
After everyone had their fill, Lumi called his parents to his room and began to prepare a draft.
"Dad, Mom, let's have a small meeting tonight. In the future, we'll make a small summary every once in a while and then prepare for the next step of the work plan. What do you think?"
"Yes, meetings are necessary. Our family is doing well now. I think it's all because of Lumi. Lumi has grown up and has many ideas. Let's often discuss and listen to each other.”Lu Fengjun supported Lu Mi's idea.
"Here's what I think," said Lumi, pausing."The advantage of our small city is the trade with Russia, and it has just started. We have to make good use of this. Wenzhou Old Zhu is a good opportunity. I think we must seize this opportunity.”
"Yeah, Old Zhu is like a pie that fell from the sky. I often find it unbelievable. Do you think this is a trap?" Liu Jie was still suspicious.
"It was all thanks to Lumi's performance that day. Otherwise, do you think Southerners can give business to others so easily?”Lu Fengjun had seen with his own eyes how Lumi had gotten the business. It was indeed a child's ability.
"Southerners value ability. Dad, Mom, there's still more than a month before the Chinese New Year. This year, you should go to Old Zhu's factory and see the development of the south. You can go to shoe material stores and accessory stores and see how they make plates and process them into shapes. There should be many other factories next to Old Zhu's factory. They might not order, but they could go and take a look.”
Lumi remembered that Lu Fengjun was used to traveling around when he was young, but he had run into a wall every time, and later lost his confidence and courage.
Lumi had long thought about letting his parents go out. If one wanted to improve, they had to broaden their horizons. If they were closed off, they would definitely not be able to develop. They were not very busy at the moment, and the two of them were young. Lumi felt that letting his parents go out for a walk was an opportunity to broaden their horizons and broaden their hearts.
"If you think it's okay, we'll go out and see how big Old Zhu's factory is.”
"Let your dad go by himself. If he leaves, how are you two going to eat?”Liu Jie was worried.
"There's still my grandma and grandpa. You two can leave before the new year and come back during the new year. You can also spend the new year outside. I'll go to the stall to sell goods. My grandma and grandpa will take care of Xiaolong. We'll definitely eat and drink well at home.”
Liu Jie hadn't been to a city too far away, so she was also very moved by Lumi's words. However, she was worried about her family, and her contradictory syndrome began to take effect again.
Lumi ignored his mother. Some things needed to be understood by himself. It was not a long-term solution to always rely on others to chase after him with a small whip. There was always a process of adapting to everything. Lumi was worried about something else.
"Let's leave it at that for now. I'll call Old Zhu tomorrow and talk to him again. "Now I have an idea. You two can help me think about it." Lumi thought for a moment and said,"I'm not going to let you go.""The booth fees at Qingyun Commercial Building will be paid until the middle of June. We have to plan ahead. My idea is to go out and find a legitimate store. We can buy it while the price is not high. Whether it's for our own use or as a real estate investment, it will be very beneficial in the future.”
Lumi's words were like a small bomb. Lu Fengjun and Liu Jie looked at each other. Lu Fengjun spoke first,"Is that necessary? Are there any stores selling them? Can we accept the price?"
"Dad, it's especially necessary to have a retail store. Qingyun's stall is too small. In the future, we'll definitely have more and more designs, and we'll need more space to stock up. I've been walking around outside these two days, and there are some for sale. Although the price will be higher, I believe that compared to the future value, this money is worth investing!”
Lumi knew that the housing prices in the small town had never fluctuated much, but the prices in the retail stores had always been high. Moreover, from now until the next fifteen years, they would definitely make a profit.
"You saw it? Which position did you have in mind? What about the price?"
"We can choose to do business in the east of Qingyun Commercial Building. In the future, this area will definitely take shape, and trade with Russia will become more and more extensive. I've seen a few of them, and there are still options. We can buy them with the money we have. If we can buy two, we won't buy one. If we can buy three, we won't buy two.”
"This…are you confident? "This is money that we earned with great difficulty…Although the main credit is yours, but…" Lu Fengjun and Liu Jie hesitated.
Lumi understood what his parents were thinking. They had never made a lot of money in their lives, and their lives had always been tight. They would definitely not be willing to spend the first sum of money they made. However, he said," Dad, Mom, the income from putting money in the bank is the lowest. At the moment, we don't have any place to use it. The only thing I can think of is buying a house. Now that a large number of southerners are pouring into the small town, the most popular place is the store. If we don't get it soon, the price will definitely increase.”
Lu Fengjun was also tempted.
"Then, let's go to the place you like to take a look tomorrow?”
Seeing that her father had been moved, Lumi's heart was at ease. She was really afraid that her parents would not be able to change their old ways of thinking and affect their development.
Lumi asked his grandparents to stay the night. When he sent the two old people home the next day, he left a thousand dollars. His grandmother refused to accept it with tears in her eyes." It's so much money. We have money to spend. Save it for your mother. Don't lose it."”
"Grandma, I earned this myself. I'll earn more in the future. I'll even buy you and my grandfather a big house to live in. You can spend this money without worry.”
His grandparents were too pitiful. Lumi didn't want to leave any regrets on them like he did in his previous life.
After saying goodbye to the two elders, Lumi went to meet up with his parents to look at the shops. Xinyuan Commercial Building was the closest to Qingyun, and there were shops around it. However, the ownership of the property was unclear, and it was troublesome to trade. There were also shops in the outer circle of Tianxin Mall, but they were all small. Each of them was about ten square meters in size, and there was no heating. It was really not a good choice in the winter in the north.
After Lumi brought his parents around, they came to a business district further east. In an alley, a star-dotted shop had already taken shape. The area of the shops here was to Lumi's liking. They were all within 100 square meters. They had heating and toilets. They were standard retail units.
This was the shop that Lumi wanted because Lumi knew that this was the future famous shoe street. It was known as " Can't Forget Shoes City Alley " and everyone knew about it. He would definitely earn a lot if he used it as an investment.
In the afternoon, he contacted the owners of three shops, Lu Fengjun, Liu Jie, and Lumi, and began to attack them from three sides.
It had to be said that the housing prices in this era were really low.
Lumitan's first house in the south of the alley was 102 square meters and sold for 100,000 yuan. Lu Fengjun's third house in the south of the alley was 90 square meters and sold for 85,000 yuan. Liu Jie was talking about the middle house on the other side of the alley. It was 90 square meters, and the price was 80,000.
Lu Fengjun paid the deposit, and the other party made a receipt. They agreed to go to the real estate bureau to transfer the ownership the next day.
Liu Jie sighed." I've been busy for more than half a month. I didn't even have time to keep the money in my pocket before I spent it. I didn't even have enough to spend."”
"Mom, let's open up the business. Three shops for 265,000. I'll say it here. In the future, you won't be willing to sell them even if we increase the price by ten times.”
"Come on, I only have two arms. How many gold bracelets can I wear? Hurry up and go back to the stall to earn money.”Liu Jie tapped Lumi's forehead.
"I'll earn more for you. What are you afraid of? I'll buy them in a small city first, and then I'll bring you to the capital to buy them!”
It was Lumi's wish to invest in the capital, buy a house, and buy a shop.
Lumi knew exactly how big the profit margin of real estate was and how fast it could earn money. Building a house was not an area he was familiar with. Lumi would not touch it, but real estate speculation was the least damaging. Lumi would definitely invest in it.
Many years later, Lu Fengjun and Liu Jie would never forget this day. Their daughter brought them to buy three shops in one go, officially opening their business horizons.
What Lumi was thinking was that money lost its value when it could not be spent. In her previous life, Liu Jie had been thrifty to help her parents. She did not dare to ask the old man to live with her. In the end, it was all because of money. Money came easily in this life. With money in hand, one would have confidence in their heart and would not be so calculative when they gave to their loved ones.
The next day, Lu Fengjun and Liu Jie made an appointment with the original owner to go to the real estate building to handle the transfer. Lumi also confirmed the payment information with Old Zhu the night before and agreed on the trip to Wenzhou before the new year.
Old Zhu was also very happy that Lu Fengjun could come to the factory for inspection. Unfortunately, Lumi could not come with him, but Lumi promised to draw a new version for Old Zhu every month, which made Old Zhu look forward to it.
" But, Uncle Zhu, I'll provide the factory with samples, and they're all original copies. The factory..." Lumi took the opportunity to start raising conditions, because Lumi knew what kind of value the samples she provided could create. Before he could show his value, he had to give Old Zhu a shot in the dark so that he wouldn't appear to be lumpy when he showed his value.
"You clever boy! Don't worry, Uncle Zhu will definitely not let you draw for nothing. When the time comes, I'll give you a commission according to the order quantity, okay?”Old Zhu did not expect that his promise would allow Lumi to take such a big piece of the cake. However, Old Zhu was a businessman and paid attention to honesty. This was also the reason why Lumi had worked with Old Zhu for many years.
"Uncle Zhu is particular! "Let the plate master in the factory add more styles on top of this. The layout can be flexible and the colors can be richer. I've observed the fashion trends in Europe and America. I think sneakers will definitely have a bright future. Also, pay attention to confidentiality. We'll strive to be popular in our hands for a while and create the greatest value for the factory.”
Rumi's drawing a few days ago was particularly creative. Zhu Huicang nodded repeatedly when he received the sample drawing. He was more and more curious about Rumi. A girl from a small northern city had such a unique vision. At the same time, he was more and more sure of the girl's ability.
Rumi's sample had already begun to be printed and ready for mass production.
