On New Year's Eve, the family happily made dumplings together, watched a TV show for a while, and went to rest.
As usual, Lumi was in the same room as his grandmother. Just like when they were young, Lumi held his grandmother's hand and the two of them whispered and slowly fell asleep.
The next day, Lumi woke up on time with his biological alarm clock. Grandma sat by the bed with her sparse silver hair combed.
Lumi watched quietly. He wished that time had stopped at this moment, and warmth and tranquility enveloped the grandfather and grandson.
Grandma noticed that Lumi was awake and asked again,""Did your dad lose his temper again after being scolded yesterday?”
The old man was still worried about Lumi.
"No, no, granny. My dad went to pick you up, really.”Lumi explained on behalf of his father. He really did not want there to be any misunderstandings between the closest people. "Old lady, you and my grandfather will be fine. When I earn money, I'll buy you a big house. The two of you can eat whatever you want and do whatever you want.”
Grandma laughed happily." I'm waiting for my granddaughter to buy me a big house.”As they laughed, the grandfather and grandson laughed until they cried.
Lumi tried his best to speak in a language that was easy for his grandmother to understand. In fact, he had already made up his mind to earn money as soon as possible. Many of his current problems could be solved with money.
This was not a difficult thing for Lumi, who had lived two lives. He just needed someone to cooperate.
Lumi thought about it and decided to slowly infiltrate his father. His mother did not have the right to speak. It was like this in his previous life. She had the ability to execute but did not have the ability to make decisions. But his father was different. As long as he explained the reason to his father, his father would definitely be the greatest help.
The most important reason was his father's financial freedom. Rumi thought again. How could he lay eggs without a chicken?
After breakfast, his father had already left for the car. His grandparents insisted on going home, but Lumi stayed behind." Grandma, it's so early in the morning. The sun hasn't even come out yet. Your room is very cold. After lunch, you can go back and burn the stove."”
When Grandma heard this, she agreed, so she stayed until noon. He kept saying,"Mi has grown up and is sensible!"”
Lumi's eyes burned.
After lunch, Lumi accompanied the old people home. He opened the door and went in. There was no heat in the house.
Lumi helped his grandfather dig out the ashes and carry the firewood to start the stove. The heat gradually rose. Lumi instructed him again before leaving.
After leaving her grandmother's house, she rushed to the department store.
Lumi had asked his father for jeans the day before, but it was true that he wanted to go shopping with him. It was definitely not a whim.
In 1996, China's economy had just begun to accelerate. In 1997, Hong Kong was about to return to China. Lumi remembered seeing this sentence on TV when he first started working: "From 1996 to 2000, the speed of change in China was shocking!”
Lumi really didn't know how fast it was because his parents had never run a business before, so Lumi really didn't have much information about making money.
In his previous life, he had only heard people talk about how the market value of Moutai had soared after they had stockpiled it, but Lumi did not know exactly which year they had stockpiled it and which year they had sold it.
He had also heard that he had made a lot of money through stock trading, but he did not know which stock to buy and when to sell.
Oh right, there was also property speculation. This definitely existed. Moreover, they had to go to the capital to buy it! In his previous life, Rumi flew back and forth to Russia, taking off and landing in Beijing. When he had time, he would walk around Beijing and know the surroundings of the Second Ring Road. Therefore, buying a house was one of Lumi's big plans, and it had to be realized. However, he still needed to accumulate capital and opportunities.
However, all the difficulties did not hinder Lumi's determination to make money. After all, he had more than 20 years of business experience in his previous life. Although the last ten years were failures, the success of the first ten years could not be erased.
Lumi had been in the shoe business in his previous life, and he had managed it well during his ten years abroad. There were also many friends he knew. Brother Bin made cow's pants, Ah Hua made electrical appliances, Sister Min made lamps, Second Sister Chen's family made furs, the stall on the left of Lumi sold hundreds, and the stall on the right sold wholesale bags... These past experiences were all Lumi's capital.
Everything in his previous life had given Lumi a clear and alert mind, a unique vision and appreciation level, and most importantly, the experience he had. As long as he could convince his father and subtly infiltrate him, Lumi would have a way to change the situation.
Lumi needed to see and experience the current market situation with his own eyes. Shopping was undoubtedly the best way.
Her thoughts kept changing along the way. When she arrived at the department store, she saw that her father was already waiting at the door.
"Hey, Dad, you're quite punctual!" Lumi teased.
"I've been waiting for you for half a day." Lu Fengjun looked at his outstanding daughter and decided to pick a cotton coat in addition to the cow's pants. The child had grown up and needed to dress up.
Lumi couldn't remember the actual situation of the department store. It had been a long time, and the development was changing with each passing day. People's vision wouldn't stop at the backward stage.
It was not until the father and daughter entered that Lumi felt the backwardness of this era. The city was small and naturally closed. Lumi knew that the forefront of all fashion trends was Europe and the United States, then Japan and Korea, then Hong Kong and Taiwan, then the coastal areas, followed by Guangzhou, Shen Zhen, Shanghai, Beijing, and finally the mainland. The small city Lumi was in was already close to the edge, and almost all the cities in front of him had a round of fashion before it could reach here.
He was lagging behind, too lagging behind.
But now Lumi really felt powerless. However, she knew that she had to adapt to the times and accept reality!
On the first floor of the department store, one side was occupied by cloth stalls. In those days, buying cloth for processing was still popular, but Lumi knew that it would soon be obsolete. On the other side was the shoe and hat counter. Lumi and his father lingered in the shoe cabinet because the shoes were the ones Lumi was most familiar with in his previous life.
"You still want to buy a pair of shoes?" Father saw Lumi looking at the shoes seriously.
"No, I have shoes to wear. Since I'm here, I'll take a look. Dad, buy a pair!”
Lumi was really not interested in the current style, but his father could get a new pair of shoes.
"I don't want it either. No one he liked? Go upstairs and take a look?" His father was always thrifty.
On the second floor were cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, and tea. Lumi really saw Maotai.
At this time, the retail price of Moutai was only 260 yuan! Lumi's eyes widened.
In his previous life, Lu Xiaolong needed to buy a gift for his leader, so he asked Lumi to help him check the price at a tobacco and alcohol store. Lumi clearly remembered that in 2000, the price of Moutai had reached about 15000 yuan.
Lumi made a decision again-when he had money, he would also stock up on Kweichow Moutai!
"Let's go to the International Trade City again?" His father suggested.
"Alright, let's go!"
In Lumi's opinion, even the current International Trade City was more fashionable than the department stores in ten or twenty years.
The moment they entered the entrance, the interior of the mall gave off a different feeling. A medium-sized gold shop. Lumi clearly remembered the scene of his father bringing him here to buy jewelry before his marriage in his previous life. It was this Xinglong gold shop where Lumi had chosen a Burmese jade bracelet and a platinum ring.
On one side of the outer circle were clothes stalls, and on the other side were shoe counters. There were quite a number of people who came to shop. People came and went, trying on clothes and bargaining.
His father and Lumi were really serious about shopping. When they reached the second floor, they saw the jeans Lumi had mentioned.
"Boss, how much are these pants?" Lumi asked, holding up a pair of black jeans.
“130！”
"Can you give me a discount? Students don't earn money in school." Lumi tried to bargain.
"Aiyo, this little girl knows how to bargain. Alright, I'll give you a discount of 10 yuan.”
"Dad, let's go."
"Not buying anymore?"
"My classmate bought it for 80 yuan. Let's go to someone else's house to take a look.”As he spoke, he pretended to pull his father away.
"Hey, little girl, how can there be 80 yuan? This is the most popular pair of pants now. It's an original from Guangzhou.”
Lumi raised his head and glanced at the boss. He pursed his lips in his heart. They were all imitations. Where did the original come from?
"I only have 80 yuan. My dad won't even buy this. If you don't want to sell it, then forget it. Go to the shop at the door and buy the one that costs 50 yuan. The style isn't as good as yours, but it's dozens of yuan cheaper!”
Lu Fengjun looked at Lumi's small mouth and said. Even the boss couldn't tell if it was true or not. He was anxious to sell the goods. After all, 80 yuan also had a profit, so he said,"Alright, alright. I'll treat it as pulling you back as a repeat customer.”She wrapped her pants and said to Lu Fengjun,"Your daughter is really good at bargaining. She's good at doing business!"”
Lumi put her arm around Lu Fengjun's arm and held the newly bought pants. She was still confused when she left the gate of the International Trade Center." When did you learn to bargain?”
"Do you still need to learn how to bargain? Just tell me to save money." Lumi was talking to his father.
Because Lumi's change was too great, it had already exceeded Lu Fengjun's understanding of his daughter.
Lumi looked around with his big, innocent eyes. A few familiar figures appeared in the distance. It was those troublemakers from the Nian Group.
"People really gather together." Lumi muttered.
"What are you mumbling about? Are those your classmates? I've been looking at them for a long time.”
"One of them is in my class, but he hasn't spoken.”Lumi urged his father.
After leaving the International Trade City, Lumi was not as excited as when he came. It was not difficult to start from the internal market, but it might be very slow to make money. The internal market was too limited. Although it was not feasible internally, it could be used externally. He could not waste the ten years of foreign trade experience in his previous life. After all, this was a small border city.
So Lumi said to his father,"Dad, let's go to Qingyun Commercial Building. I heard that there's everything there."”
"I'll accompany you for the whole day today. We agreed that it would only be this day. I can't stand it if we continue to shop like this.”Lu Fengjun complained, but in fact, he was very happy to be able to accompany his daughter.
Lumi was thinking about striking while the iron was hot. He had to tear open the hole to make money today.
