Chapter 3888 3890 [Small Commodity Market]

After Xiang Nan applied to many colleges and universities in the United States in September, he received admission notices from many schools in November.

Among them are well-known universities such as Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and Princeton. After Xiang Nan considered it, he finally chose Stanford University.

Because this school is located in the San Francisco Bay Area, close to Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley will be the center of global technology in the next few decades. Apple, AMD, HP, Cisco, Intel, NVIDIA, Oracle...these companies are all headquartered in Silicon Valley.

Many of these companies were founded by alumni of Stanford University. The so-called first-come-first-served approach means that being close to Silicon Valley makes it easier to seize business opportunities.

Moreover, Xiang Nan also prefers the sunshine and air in California.

After choosing Stanford University, he then began to apply for a passport and visa.

…

While Xiang Nan was busy with this, in Yiwu, the first-generation small commodity market was officially built in September. This small commodity market was won over by Chen Jinshui to Chenjia Town.

Firstly, there is a train station in Chenjia Town, making transportation more convenient; secondly, the folks in Chenjia Town are more enthusiastic, active and proactive in fighting for this project.

In comparison, other villages and towns still have a wait-and-see attitude, believing that the establishment of small commodity markets is relatively bold, radical, and risky, and they dare not support it rashly.

Therefore, Chen Jinshui and Chen Jiazhen were given a chance to perform.

When the first-generation small commodity market was designed, the plan was to cover an area of ​​4,000 square meters and have a total of 705 stalls. But I soon discovered that my steps were still slow.

The people's enthusiasm for doing business is very high. More than 700 stalls were sold out just after they were launched. There is simply not enough space. Finally, it expanded to more than a thousand stalls, selling more than 2,000 types of goods.

Including needles and threads, clothing, shoes and socks, snacks, furniture and home appliances, hardware and department stores, etc., it is quite complete and quite lively.

In addition to the locals in Yiwu who often come to visit, there are also businessmen from other places who have traveled thousands of miles to come here to purchase goods. As a result, the small commodity market has just been completed, and the annual transaction volume has reached 9.8 million yuan, which is quite gratifying.

Naturally, Chenjiacun is located near the water, first come first served, and many villagers have made money by doing business. The villagers who made money also lived a better life.

Many families have bought TVs, electric fans, bicycles, even tractors, motorcycles, etc. It can be said that they have replaced the shotgun with the gun.

…

In December 1982, Xiang Nan returned to Yiwu to apply for a passport.

"Brother Daguang, do you really want to go abroad?" Chen Qiaogu asked in surprise when she learned about Xiang Nan.

"Yes, the admission notice has arrived. I am now applying for a passport and visa. I will go there in August next year." Xiang Nan nodded.

"Then what should I do? My father is already urging me to marry Brother Ji Feo." Qiao Gu said worriedly.

Chen Jinshui has always regarded Chen Jianghe as his son-in-law. Now Chen Jianghe is twenty-two and Qiao Gu is twenty-one, and they have reached the age of marriage, so Chen Jinshui made arrangements for the two to get married.

"Actually, I have always regarded Brother Ji Feo as my older brother. Brother Ji Feo also has a partner and has no intention of marrying me. It's just that my father is messing with the relationship." Qiao Gu added.

"Ji Fei has a partner? Who is it?" Xiang Nan asked curiously, "Does Uncle Jin Shui know about this?"

"He is a guy who sells socks at a small commodity market. His name is Luo Yuzhu. He is very smart and capable. He and Brother Ji Feo are probably strangers," Qiao Gu explained.

"Luo Yuzhu?" Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then smiled. Unexpectedly, they were so destined to fall in love with each other.

It's no wonder that Chen Jianghe and Luo Yuzhu are the same type of people. They are both bolder, more thoughtful, and more willing to endure hardships. It is normal for people of the same sex to attract each other. This is called congeniality and harmony.

"Yes, they all took a fancy to a batch of leftover materials from the clothing factory and planned to buy them to make mops, so they had a fight and ended up not knowing each other.

Later, Luo Yuzhu came to the market to set up a stall selling socks, which happened to be next to Brother Ji Feo's glove stall, so they got closer and closer. "Qiaogu explained, "But he didn't dare to tell my father, but in fact everyone knows it, and I have seen it many times. "

"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded, "I'm going to propose marriage to Uncle Jin Shui tomorrow. You can ask Brother Ji Feo to wait at home. I'll try to get married to you before I go to the United States."

"Really?" Qiao Gu said in surprise.

"Of course it's true. If I lie to you, I'll be struck by thunder..." Xiang Nan immediately expressed his stance.

He was also afraid that there would be trouble with Qiaogu during these years abroad, so it would be better to marry him and come home as soon as possible.

"Okay, okay, I believe you, don't swear such a poisonous oath." Qiao Gu quickly covered his mouth.

Xiang Nan laughed when he heard this.

…

That night, Xiang Nan mentioned to Chen Jintu and Zhang Jiuxiang that he wanted to marry Qiao Gu.

Neither Chen Jintu nor Zhang Jiuxiang were very happy.

Because Xiang Nan is a college student, and Qiaogu has just graduated from elementary school; Xiang Nan is from the city, and Qiaogu is a country girl; Xiang Nan is a well-known writer, and Qiaogu is nameless.

From all aspects, Qiaogu is not worthy of her son. Xiang Nan could obviously marry someone better, so why did he have to marry Qiao Gu?

"Dad, Mom, Qiaogu and I are in love. This matter is settled." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Qiaogu is beautiful and virtuous. What's wrong with being a daughter-in-law?"

"There are many good women, son. With your current status and fame, you should marry someone from the city, whose family is powerful and influential, who can help you in the future. If you marry Qiaogu, Qiaogu can help you?" Chen Jintu explained.

"I don't need anyone to help me. From childhood to adulthood, I have relied on no one to help me. I have achieved what I have today entirely by myself." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "So what if the family is powerful and influential? I don't even look down on them.

I just hope to find a virtuous, considerate, gentle and good wife to help me take care of the family. Is that kind of powerful son okay?"

"Qiaogu is uneducated and not very good-looking. Why do you like her?" Zhang Jiuxiang advised, "You should choose another one. Aren't there any good ones among your classmates? Besides, aren't you going abroad? You can find one abroad."

"Yes." Chen Jintu also echoed.

"Oh, no more talking, Qiaogu's matter is settled." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "I will go to propose to Uncle Jinshui tomorrow and try to get married before I go abroad.

When the time comes, if I can take root in the United States, I will take you and Qiaogu over, so that you can also experience the decadent capitalist life in the West."

"Son, think about it again, don't settle it so early." Chen Jintu said hurriedly.

"Yes, son, this matter can't be finalized so quickly." Zhang Jiuxiang also said.

Xiang Nan ignored it.

He told Chen Jintu and Zhang Jiuxiang about this matter, just to inform them, not to discuss with them.

Chen Jintu and Zhang Jiuxiang looked at each other when they saw him like this, but they had no choice.

Because their son had the most correct ideas since he was a child, he took care of everything by himself, and had more ideas than them. Especially after going to college, he was more capable and more famous, and he and his wife couldn't control him at all.
