Chapter 163 Don’t Understand the Fat Man’s Logic
"Xiaohui, does selling information delay your studies?"
Tang Zifeng took a bite of the skewers and asked Xiaohui with a smile.
"No." Yu Xiaohui said, "When the first few books were sold, I spent a little time explaining them to them. Later, a teacher in the high school saw the information and said that the information was very good and suggested that students buy one if they could. set, and a lot of people came to buy it all at once, including from schools in Linhe City. There are still many people who are unhappy who didn’t buy it.”
"This is not easy. Just call your sister Wenjun and ask her to send you a few hundred more copies. It will be delivered by express rail. It will arrive in two or three days." Tang Zifeng said. He and Xiao Wenjun had a tacit understanding about this matter. There was no need for Xiao Wenjun to handle it. As long as Xiao Wenjun told Wang Zijie, Wang Zijie would arrange for someone to do it. Selling information is a good thing for Feihai Company.
Yu Xiaohui was a little embarrassed and was silent for a while before timidly saying to Tang Zifeng: "Uncle Tang, I want to share some money with Sister Wenjun. Can you help me talk to Sister Wenjun?"
"She is not short of your money." Tang Zifeng said, "Her father is the chief engineer in a military industrial enterprise, and his salary is very high. How can she be short of money?"
"No, Sister Wenjun said she wanted to buy a computer and was saving money." Yu Xiaohui said, and she didn't know when Xiao Wenjun told her. After saying this, she changed another reason and said: "Actually, it's not a matter of whether she is short of money. It's because I am embarrassed to bother her like this. Many people have come to me in the past two days to buy materials. But if Sister Wenjun doesn’t accept the money, I’d be embarrassed to ask Sister Wenjun to help me wholesale.”
"But wouldn't Sister Wenjun be embarrassed in this case?" Tang Zifeng said with a smile, "She hasn't contributed much, so why should she share your money?"
"She provided me with information. You said that information is valuable." Yu Xiaohui said seriously.
Tang Zifeng thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll tell her about this. Let's do this. That's it for the last batch. I'll ask her to send you another batch. You can pay 20 yuan for each set. Give her money, you earn 10 yuan and she earns 5 yuan, do you think that’s okay?”
"Okay!" Yu Xiaohui responded happily.
"So, how many sets do you want?" Tang Zifeng asked.
Yu Xiaohui hesitated, stretched out one finger, thought for a while, and changed it to two. And judging by her look, she seemed to be still thinking about whether to change it to three.
"200 sets?" Tang Zifeng asked.
"Yes." Yu Xiaohui agreed in a low voice.
"Would you like more?"
"Isn't this bad?"
"why not?"
"Isn't it particularly difficult to wholesale such good information?"
Tang Zifeng smiled: "Silly girl, this company is hoping that you will do more wholesale. If you sell information, the company can make money. Why don't we do something that makes money? There are so many printing factories now, how many printings do you want? I can print sets, but I’m afraid you won’t be able to sell them.”
"Really? Then..." Yu Xiaohui became excited. After thinking about it, she changed her finger to "1" again and looked at Tang Zifeng without saying anything.
"Are you asking for...1,000 sets?" Tang Zifeng guessed.
Yu Xiaohui nodded vigorously and said: "I asked, there are more than 3,000 senior high school students in Linhe City alone, and there are more than 1,000 people in cram schools, and some people buy them for students from other places. These days Hundreds of people have come to me to ask, and I think 1,000 sets can definitely be sold."
"But do you have time to sell?" Tang Zifeng asked.
Yu Xiaohui said: "I used my lunch break to set up a stall on the school playground. People from other schools will come to buy when they know about it. Well, I can also do my homework while setting up the stall without delay. Time."
Ning Mo interjected from the side: "Xiaohui, I just heard you say that if you sell 1,000 sets of materials, you will charge 30,000 yuan. Are you not afraid of being robbed by others?"
Yu Xiaohui smiled and said: "Of course I thought of it. I hired two boys who are in the third year of high school to be my bodyguards. They are all children of my father's junior brothers and they are very familiar with me."
"Ha, that's good. Xiaohui looks a bit like a female boss now." Ning Mo laughed.
Yu Xiaohui was a little embarrassed, and Tang Zifeng quickly smoothed things over for her, saying: "You have thought carefully. Let's do this. I will remit the money to you, Sister Wenjun, and ask her to send you another 1,000 sets." Come here with the information. You can sell as much as you want. If you sell it, you will pay her 20 per set. If you can’t sell it, I will send it back. The company promises to recycle all of it."
"I can definitely sell out!" Yu Xiaohui promised.
That's the end of the matter. Yu Xiaohui poured beer for Tang Zifeng and Ning Mo, and placed the hot kebabs just delivered by the waiter in front of them. Tang Zifeng and Ning Mo toasted each other and chatted about adult matters.
"Old Tang, tell me how long your brain is. You can come up with the idea of building a wood carving machine tool just after returning home. I heard Master Rui say in the workshop that the market for this kind of machine tool is very big, and our factory can make a lot of money. Yeah." Ningmo said.
Tang Zifeng said: "My job is to think about this kind of thing, so I have to think about everything I see. Isn't it strange? If I knew the technology, I would work with you as an assembly fitter. I wouldn't have to worry about it all day long. How beautiful. ."
"What's the beauty of being a fitter?" Ning Mo said disdainfully, "In the past few months, the work in the factory has been one after another, and I have to work overtime at every turn. Haven't you seen that I'm tired and fat?"
"What the hell is being tired and fat?" Tang Zifeng was puzzled.
Ning Mo said: "When you are tired, you should eat well. If you eat well, you will gain weight. What's wrong with this?"
Tang Zifeng shook his head: "I have never been fat, so I don't understand the fat man's logic."
Ning Mo said: "You will lose weight if you use your brain. The more tired you are when doing physical work, the fatter you will be. This is my experience."
Tang Zifeng said: "It's easy if you don't want to be tired. I'll give you a tip. When our wood carving machine is ready, you can buy one, quit your job, and go back to Tunling countryside to open a wood carving shop. I'll let you know The salesman at Han Weichang's side has evaluated that if you open a wood carving shop, if the opportunity is good, you can make back the investment in half a year, and then earn 60,000 to 70,000 a year. Moreover, the work in the wood carving shop basically does not require much physical effort, and it is mainly done on the computer. Draw a picture. Isn’t this better than being a fitter here?”
Ning Mo was about to refute Tang Zifeng's bad idea, but Yu Xiaohui, who was sitting next to them and listening to their chat, suddenly interrupted:
"Uncle Tang, are you telling the truth?"
"What's true?" Tang Zifeng was a little confused. This topic seemed to have nothing to do with Yu Xiaohui.
Yu Xiaohui said: "You just said that opening a wood carving shop doesn't require any physical effort. You can just draw pictures on the computer and still have income. Is it true?"
"You don't want to drop out of school and open a wood carving shop, do you?" Tang Zifeng said in surprise.
Ning Mo came to his senses: "Xiaohui, do you want your father to do this?"
"Your father? Master Yu?" Tang Zifeng also came to his senses. The reason why he didn't react as quickly as Ning Mo was because he didn't have much impression of Xiaohui's father, Yu Kexin. Ning Mo worked in the workshop and occasionally heard people talk about Yu Kexin, so he suddenly thought of this. One level up.
Yu Xiaohui's father, Yu Kexin, used to be a worker in a lathe workshop, but because he had a chronic disease and could not work hard, he took sick leave and recuperated at home. Workers on sick leave have no other income besides basic wages. In addition, as a sick person, Yu Kexin has to eat good food to supplement his nutrition, which is why Yu Xiaohui's family is in such a tight situation.
Yu Xiaohui's mother is a domestic worker with a low income. When Yu Kexin stays at home, he will try his best to do whatever work he can to earn some extra money to support his family. Yu Kexin learned some flower-and-bird painting when he was a child, and now he occasionally draws banners for people to hang in their homes as decorations for arty but cash-strapped people. The flower and bird paintings he painted were only barely acceptable, so each painting could not be sold for more than a few yuan, and there were only a few people who could come to his door to ask for paintings.
Yu Xiaohui heard from Tang Zifeng about the production of wood carving machine tools in the factory, but she didn't know what this thing was used for, so naturally she didn't take it too seriously. But just now she heard Tang Zifeng give Ning Mo an idea, saying that she could earn 60,000 to 70,000 yuan a year just by drawing on the computer, and she immediately thought of her father.
She didn't think that the income of 60,000 to 70,000 yuan a year mentioned by Tang Zifeng could be realized, but even 6,000 to 7,000 yuan a year, or even 6, 700 yuan a year, was still a good income. More importantly, it can stop her father from lamenting that he is a useless person all day long. She hopes to see her father as tall, confident and cheerful as she saw when she was a child...
"Master Yu can draw, and he's pretty good at it." Ning Mo explained to Tang Zifeng, "I heard from the old masters that when the factory used to do propaganda, it was Master Yu who often painted posters on the walls. He went to paint. Later, because he was in poor health and could no longer paint this kind of painting, he took medical leave."
"Is that so?" Tang Zifeng nodded, "If that's the case, then this wood carving business is really suitable for him. By the way, I think it can be formed into a mom-and-pop shop, with Mrs. Yu in charge of collecting business and moving wood. Master Yu is responsible for drawing on the computer, which is a job that only requires sitting down and not tiring."
"Really?" Yu Xiaohui was overjoyed, and then asked: "Uncle Tang, you just said that you need to buy a wood carving machine tool to open a wood carving shop. Is this machine tool expensive?"
"It's not expensive. A set of machine tools, including a computer and design software, costs less than 30,000 yuan." Tang Zifeng replied.
The light in Yu Xiaohui's eyes dimmed quickly. 30,000 yuan was certainly a small amount for Tang Zifeng, but for the Xiaohui family, it was an unattainable goal. She knew clearly that her family had almost no savings and sometimes even had to borrow money to survive. It is really a fantasy to scrape together 30,000 yuan to buy a set of wood carving equipment.
"What, Xiaohui?" Tang Zifeng felt the change in Yu Xiaohui's mood and was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had really made the mistake of not eating minced meat. In this era, there are many families who can afford 30,000 yuan, but Yu Xiaohui's family is not included among them.
He subconsciously thought that in the worst case, he would lend Yu Kexin 30,000 yuan and pay it back after he earned his money back. As he spoke, a thought suddenly came to his mind, and he couldn't help but laugh.
