BTTS 440




 Chapter 440. Sly businessman's number one rule


When Zhou Kai and the others came back from the hot springs, they all gave that side a high review.

Lin Qing He also deeply sensed the rapid development of the capital at this time.

Especially this year. Swimming pools, coffee shops, etc. have all sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Women wearing those floral dresses and the like on the top can be seen all over the street. Completely trendy. The previous dim colors were basically going to be eliminated.

Zhou Kai had the same feeling. When he came back, he said that he hadn't come back for a year and the change was huge.

During this half-month break, he did all the physical training he should do but much more lax.

Lin Qing He didn't get involved in this. She told him to explore the capital. He can go to the swimming pools and the like, if he wanted to.

Basically, let him come back to spend a good vacation and relax.

"When you're at that side, remember to get a driver's license on the way. Maybe our family will buy a car this year." Lin Qing He told him.

"Buy a car?" Zhou Kai was surprised: "Do we have so much money?"

He had asked his future brother-in-law, Wang Yuan. One car was about a few ten thousand.

Lin Qing He knew what kind of car he was talking about without asking, and said, "I want to buy a truck. Those small cars, I can't afford it so far."

"A truck is also good." Zhou Kai responded: "I'll take the test."

Lin Qing He nodded.

Eldest son stayed at home for half a month. Half a month wasn't short, but it felt like it flew by.

It was worth mentioning that Zhou Kai's face has grown a lot of flesh in the past half month.

Lin Qing He's side and Mother Zhou's side took turns to nourish him. So, they made him look ruddy and full of energy.

"If you can come back at the end of the year, try your best to. If you can't, then call in advance. Mom will prepare something to send to you." Lin Qing He came to send him to the station. She watched her eldest son carry a backpack and prepared to get on the carriage. She couldn't help but repeatedly remind.

"I know. Mom, you guys go back." Zhou Kai nodded and took note.

Zhou Gui Lai came with his mother to send him off.  Once his eldest brother got in the carriage, he brought his mother back.

"Eldest brother is worldly-wise. What's more, he is that tall and got the skill. If anyone that should be worried when going out, it wouldn't be him." Zhou Gui Lai comforted his mother.

"Smelly boy, don't have any conscience yet? Your eldest brother is away from home. All on his own. Can't I just advise him a bit?" Lin Qing He lectured.

Zhou Gui Lai's 囧 expression appeared. What all on his own? Wasn't it just wandering outside?

Eldest Son left home. Lin Qing He was a little sad. She hadn't adapted to her son's life of returning and leaving yet. After two days of depression, she recovered.

At this time, it was already the end of the semester. The summer vacation was about to start in ten days.

"Dad, Mom, are you going to travel to the south this year? You've been there a few times. Are you not tired of it?" Zhou Gui Lai asked.

Lin Qing He said: "This year your third uncle requested us to have to buy a motorcycle. We have to help him bring one back."

"So far." Zhou Gui Lai remarked.

"If it's just for your third uncle, then forget it. Actually, we have to go to other places to see." Lin Qing He said.

"Second Brother will tutor others this summer. So I'm going to watch the dumpling shop alone?" Zhou Gui Lai said.

"Your second brother tutoring?" Lin Qing He uttered in surprise, "Isn't it all finished?"

"I asked my second brother. Second Brother has to go from 2 to 5 in the afternoon. Mom, go and talk to him. Get him to help out in the dumpling shop." Zhou Gui Lai replied.

Lin Qing He came over and talked to her second son.

"I'll be going there in the afternoon. I can come back in the morning and evening to help. It doesn't get in the way," Zhou Xuan stated.

There were two children over there who need his tutoring. About two hours and the price had increased to two yuan. Have to say, the price wasn't low.

In fact, it wasn't about the money. That was secondary. Mainly the experience gained was quite good. After all, he will develop his career in education in the future.

Lin Qing He noticed he liked it, so she didn't say much.

The three sons were all grown up now. Each had their own plans. She had no plans to interfere in their own development.

"It'll be had on you. Work hard. Mom has high hopes on you." Lin Qing He patted her third son on the shoulder and said.

"Then I have to relax during this period." Zhou Gui Lai declared.

"I'll let you be during the day. Go wherever you want. Just remember to go hawk wares in the evening." Lin Qing He reminded.

In the future, Third Som is going to develop in business. So Lin Qing He didn't hold back and told him to do things like setting up a street stall.

Zhou Gui Lai was indeed talented in doing business. This guy got a thick-skinned face and can interact. In order to set up a street stall, he borrowed the tricycle used by Uncle Ma to move goods every evening. It carried a few dozens of clothes, including men's and women's.

Simply go to the plaza and set up a stall. He spread a piece of plastic cloth on the floor, put his clothes on, and the business was open.

Even though he was only fifteen years old, he was mature and tall. Everyone would believe him when he said he is seventeen or eighteen.

And his tongue was slick. He belonged to the kind that can persuasive.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai took a bike ride and visited once. Even when there were a lot of people around, he can still handle it smoothly- bargaining with others while selling the clothes.

Every night the few dozens of pieces of clothes reduced to only two or three remainings when he returned home. The worst time, there were only seven or eight pieces left. The profit was higher than that of the store.

Why?

Because the shop wanted a reputation and a good word of mouth. While there was no need for the street stall. Those who can bargain, he will make less money. While those who don't bargain will usually be ripped off by him.

This kid had mastered the sly businessman's number one rule- choose their target.

When he came back in the evening, he brought the money back. He settled the account. Paid back the cost of the goods to Lin Qing He first, and then divided out 90% of profit for Lin Qing He.

She can really strip skin; taking away 90% of his profit. The remaining 10% were given to him as pocket money.

He was still young. Although this monkey was easy to coax, he will be difficult to coax in the future.

Lin Qing He received the money and emotionally remarked to Zhou Qing Bai.

Zhou Qing Bai found it funny. He felt that the three children could grow up so well was definitely linked to his wife's teaching.

Sometimes they were mother and child. Sometimes they were like business partners. He hadn't seen a mother like her before. Have to say, the children were well-educated.

As for Zhou Gui Lai, he was't a money-saver. Even when he only got 10% of the profit every night. He can earn about five yuan a night.

Of course, this was due to Lin Qing He's raising the base cost. Otherwise, he would be able to get more.

However, five yuan was quite a lot. Zhou Gui Lai was very satisfied.

Although there were four freezers at the beverage shop and one at the dumpling shop, there was no refrigerator at home.

He planned to set up a street stall every day this summer and then save money to buy one for his family!

    1. I hope the 90% profit she keeps she saves or invests for him and gives back to him as an adult. That way he can see the value in being thrifty no matter how much he makes.

      1. That's similar to what my mom does. However much money her children gives her, even the one they give for filial piety, she won't use it. She would treat it as their saving and she's just the safe keeper. 😅

    7. MC has the ability to hire professional help but she insists on enlisting her family & friends, even if they remain short staffed. I admire the values she tries to instill in the boys, but requiring them to work in the shops EVERY holiday isn't right either.
