Chapter 92: Calling People
The two of them took a taxi to Gaoxiu Street. The two sides were not far away, and they arrived in more than ten minutes. But seeing the crowds inside, Lu Jiaxin backed out.
Gu Wenfeng said: "Jiaxin, let's go to the guesthouse to put down the luggage first and then come over!"
Lu Jiaxin didn't want to live in the guesthouse, she said: "Brother Gu, let's rent a house, it's more convenient."
Gu Wenfeng didn't agree to rent a house, he felt it was unsafe: "There are many thieves now, what if we go out to do things and a thief breaks into the house? Jiaxin, we still have a painting in our hands!"
The longevity painting was sold for 50,000 green coins. Even if the ancient painting on hand can't sell that much, it should be worth 20,000 or 30,000 Chinese coins. Renting a house is cheap, but living in a guesthouse is safe.
Lu Jiaxin said that renting a house is not to save money, but for convenience: "My body can't bear the fatigue, and I'm not used to the food here. I plan to let my fifth brother and Xue Mao come over, so that I can live in a rented house and cook for myself."
She also plans to live to the age of eighty and dare not be stubborn again. So for this business, she only planned to grasp the general direction, and leave the rest to Lu Jiajie. As for Xue Mao, he helped to run errands and gain some experience.
Gu Wenfeng said: "Your fifth brother has a job, it's not appropriate for you to ask him to help, right?"
Lu Jiaxin really didn't worry about this problem, and said: "What's wrong? Anyway, he is bored at work in the shoe factory, so he might as well take a leave to help me."
Lu Jiajie is short of money now, come to help him, and then you can buy a bigger and better house with more budget.
Thinking of Lu Jiaxin's generosity to give him one-third of his antiques, if he doesn't want it, just donate it. Gu Wenfeng didn't say anything else. He was so generous to himself, and he would not be stingy to Lu Jiajie.
Gu Wenfeng said: "Okay, let's stay in the hotel and have a good rest first, and find a house tomorrow."
"Ring, ring, ring..."
Lu Jiaguang was about to go out when the phone rang. As soon as he picked up the phone, he heard a cheerful voice, and his expression eased: "What's so happy?"
Lu Jiaxin said happily: "Brother, my painting has been sold, guess how much it was sold for?"
It must be a big sum to make her so excited. Lu Jiaguang thought about it and said 50,000.
"It's less."
Lu Jiaguang hesitated and said: "It won't be 100,000 yuan?".
Lu Jiaxin laughed: "It's 50,000 green coins, which is equivalent to more than 100,000 Chinese yuan."
Lu Jiaguang's hand holding the microphone was a little unstable, but he soon calmed down and felt that this matter might be a trap: "Xinxin, the other party might be a liar, don't sell this painting!"
Lu Jiaxin felt that he was quite vigilant, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, my painting was sold to the grandson of a wealthy man in Gangcheng, and the money has been received."
The money is deposited in the bank, then there is no problem.
Lu Jiaguang said: "Since the painting has been sold, come back quickly. Xinxin, it's not safe to carry such a large sum of money."
Lu Jiaxin couldn't go back now, she told her plan: "Brother, I must bring back a batch of goods since I'm here. I've looked at Xiushui Street and department stores, and there is a big gap in the shoes. As long as I make beautiful, waterproof and warm shoes, they will definitely sell well."
"Xinxin, have you ever thought about how to transport the goods back and how to sell them?"
Lu Jiaxin had thought about this problem a long time ago: "Brother, I will make all the shoes first, and then take the samples to find buyers. I believe that after seeing our samples, the buyers will take the initiative to come to Yangcheng to pick up the goods."
What kind of situation can take the initiative to go to Yangcheng to pick up the goods? It must be a hot commodity.
Lu Jiaguang thought she was getting carried away and poured cold water on her: "Xinxin, what if the shoes can't be sold and all the money is lost?"
Lu Jiaxin didn't worry about this at all: "As long as the shoes we make meet my requirements, it's impossible for them to not be sold. Big brother, the fifth brother has worked in the shoe factory for six years. He knows better than us whether the shoes are good or not."
Lu Jiaguang was silent for a while and said: "Your fifth brother has a son and a daughter now. He can't always take leave, otherwise his job will be in jeopardy."
Lu Jiaxin naturally knew this: "Big brother, tell the fifth brother that I will give him 500 a month, and 5% of the net profit as a bonus."
Lu Jiajie's monthly salary is more than 80, and his annual income is about 1,000. It's still three months before the Chinese New Year. If she works until the Chinese New Year, it's equivalent to a year and a half of salary, not including the promised bonus.
Lu Jiaguang felt that the wages were too high, but he was not the person involved. Zijie said, "I can let Jiajie go over to help you, but if your fifth brother says that the shoe pattern you make will lose money, you can come back with him."
"Okay."
Lu Jiaguang thought things through and asked Lu Jiaxin to call again at 5 pm tomorrow. If Lu Jiajie agreed, let the two of them talk about it themselves. If he disagreed, he would give her an answer.
After get off work, Lu Jiaguang did not go home but went to Guangming Road. Standing outside the door, he heard the cheerful laughter of Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng. The children recovered quickly, and after moving out, the two children were as lively as before.
Ma Lili was washing clothes in the yard. When she saw him come in, she stood up and greeted him, "Brother, you are here, come in and sit down."
Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng held up the small windmill and called their uncle with a smile. Seeing the bright smiles on their faces, Lu Jiaguang felt that they should move out earlier.
Ma Lili poured him a glass of water and said, "Brother, Jiajie's friend has something to do and he went to help. He probably won't be back until the evening."
She was worried when she moved out. Firstly, it was inconvenient to pick up and drop off her children because it was far away from the school. Secondly, it was very difficult to do all the laundry and cooking by herself. But when I moved here, I realized that it wasn't that difficult. When my husband didn't work the night shift, he would take care of the children in the morning, and he would also cook, clean, and take care of the children at home.
Lu Jiaguang explained his intention: "The wages in the shoe factory are low and the benefits are not very good. Jiajie complained to me more than once that the money is not enough. My brother and sister, I want Jiajie to give it a try."
It is impossible to ask for three months' leave, and it is impossible for the factory to grant it. He wanted to take a one-year layoff without pay. Anyway, this time he would be able to earn a year's salary and explore new ways to gain knowledge.
Ma Lili's eyes almost popped out of her eyes in shock. After a while, she asked, "Brother, brother, please wait a minute and let me smooth it out."
After a while, Ma Lili said: "Brother, you just said that the paintings Xinxin bought in the ancient capital were works by famous artists. The paintings were sold to a rich man in Hong Kong City for 100,000 yuan. Brother, did I hear you right?" "
"Sold for 50,000 green coins, which is equivalent to more than 100,000 Chinese dollars."
Even though it was Lu Jiaguang who said these words, Ma Lili still felt fantasy. Jia Xin earned 100,000 yuan so casually.
