Chapter 191 Canton Fair [3200]

Help your brothers and resolve internal conflicts at the same time. When your brothers become rich, you can also make a little money.

Lu Yang is quite willing to do this.

But if the army is replaced by other people, it won’t be so easy to deal with.

For example, there is another person.

This person is somewhat related to classmate Yin Zhuangzhuang. He is the younger brother of his second brother-in-law's sister-in-law and the brother-in-law of his second brother-in-law's younger brother.

Yin Zhuangzhuang's second brother-in-law works at the county power bureau. He has a younger brother who only has a junior high school diploma. Later, he learned some water and electricity installation from his second brother-in-law, so he no longer has to worry about making a living. If anyone in the neighborhood has some problems with the wires or meters in their homes, or if they want to build a new house or pull new lines, they usually come to him for his brother's sake. Over time, his business has been good and he is said to make a lot of money.

Yin Zhuangzhuang previously opened a video hall, and in addition to decorating the storefront, he also needed electrical work. After his second brother-in-law learned that his brother-in-law needed an electrician, he took over the job and gave it to his own younger brother.

This younger brother also has a brother-in-law who is about the same age as Yin Zhuangzhuang, but he dropped out of school before graduating from junior high school. He followed his brother-in-law to help and became a plumber's apprentice.

To be honest, the young man is actually a pretty nice person. He looks energetic and is very eloquent. Perhaps it is because he dropped out of school at a young age. He has traveled around the country with his brother-in-law and met many people with different personalities.

During the days when I was supplying water and electricity to the video hall, I quickly became familiar with classmate Yin Zhuangzhuang. The two brothers-in-law played together like good brothers.

Later, when the video hall opened, the brother-in-law of my second brother-in-law often came to hang out and watch movies. Yin Zhuangzhuang didn't charge him any money, he just wanted to have someone to entertain him.

But now that it has come to this, how much money can this video hall make in a day, and how can it be hidden?
This brother-in-law is quite scheming.

Although he was jealous, he did not ask Yin Zhuangzhuang directly. He just asked in a roundabout way and tried again, and then went home and told his brother-in-law.

After hearing this, the brother-in-law was also jealous, so he took his brother-in-law to find his eldest brother again.

This eldest brother, Yin Zhuangzhuang's second brother-in-law, works at the county power bureau. The nature of his job actually makes it difficult for him to do business.

When I heard that this thing could make so much money, I started to have some crooked thoughts.

I can't start a business myself, but my wife can. She can invest some money, buy some shares or something, and let my younger brother and sister-in-law look after the store. I can just focus on the dividends in the future. Maybe I can earn more than the stable job I have now.

Then let’s open it.

However, there is a big problem here. I heard that all the equipment in the video hall is fine except for the new VCR. The expensive ones will cost tens of thousands, and the cheap ones will cost seven or eight thousand. If I want to open a store as big as my brother-in-law's, I will have to spend a lot of money just to buy these equipments. Not only will the payback be slow, but I can't raise that much money with all my people combined.

What to do?
Also, the video hall opened by my brother-in-law is run because one of the shareholders has a background in the police station, so the big brothers in society don't dare to go in and cause trouble. We don't have such a background. What if if we open the video hall and some street thugs come to cause trouble?
Yin Zhuangzhuang's second brother-in-law thought about it and decided to give up.

But he couldn't resist the instigation of his younger brother and his younger brother's brother-in-law.

They say that you don't have to buy new equipment, you can just buy old ones. Your brother-in-law's shop has old equipment, so they must have connections. Besides, if you are worried about trouble caused by street thugs, you can also cooperate with them. At most, you can just bring in one or two more shareholders.

Yin Zhuangzhuang's second brother-in-law heard it.

Yup!

My brother-in-law has connections and strong relationships.

So he hit it off and took his younger brother, sister-in-law and brother-in-law back home to find his wife and persuade her.

Subsequently.

The whole family accompanied Yin Zhuangzhuang's second sister back to her parents' home overnight.

The pressure came to the old village party secretary.

The next day, Yin Zhuangzhuang was summoned by his father. When he returned home, he was dumbfounded.

He looked at his new friend with resentment: No, is it necessary to go through so much trouble? If you want to open a store like this, why don't you just tell me?
Well, there's no point in saying it. There's no way he'll agree.

Classmate Yin Zhuangzhuang knows his buddy Lu Yang very well. This buddy is a person who cannot tolerate any injustice. If he helps him, it is because he is a buddy, but if he helps his relatives, what kind of thing is that?

I want to refuse.

But facing the pleading eyes of this family, especially one of them was his own sister, and his father was also encouraging him, Yin Zhuangzhuang knew he could not hide away.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Okay, I'll go give it a try."

He went out feeling a little depressed and walked to the door of Lu Yang's father-in-law's house. Then he learned from Lu Yang's wife Yin Mingyue, who was reading a book in the yard, that Lu Yang was not at home and had gone to the factory. He ran to the factory feeling depressed and finally found Lu Yang.

As soon as he opened his mouth he started pouring out his grievances.

Lu Yang laughed and looked at the boy and said, "So what are you going to do next?"

Yin Zhuangzhuang spread his hands with a slightly embarrassed look on his face: "Well, what else can I do?" He glanced at Lu Yang's face.

I saw that my good friend didn't show any displeasure on his face.

He whispered, "Brother Yang, how about we open another one?"

Lu Yang said, "Okay! Who will manage the store? Who will be the shareholders? Where will it be opened?"

Zhuangzhuang hesitated and said, "I... what's that guy's name? He's my second brother-in-law's younger brother's brother-in-law. You've met him, brother Yang. He's actually quite smart. Let him run the store. The shareholders include this guy, my second sister, my second brother-in-law's younger brother, me, and you, brother Yang, and Brother Ping'an. Then we can open the store on our Fanzhen Street. What do you think, brother Yang?"

Lu Yang shook his head: "Not very good, there are too many people. Even if it really opens, with the business of the video hall you are running now, how much money can you get from so many people in a month? Besides, I am just a dry shareholder, so I can't help much. I'd better not get involved. You can do whatever you want."

It was the expected rejection.

Zhuangzhuang was not discouraged, and looked at Gong Pingan who was beside Lu Yang: "Where is Brother Pingan?"

Gong Pingan said calmly: "Not interested."

+1.

Still rejected.

Student Zhuangzhuang took a deep breath and encouraged himself in his heart: Don’t be discouraged, don’t be discouraged.

Then he finally mustered up the courage to make one last request: "Brother Yang, if my relatives want to open a video parlor, but not in Fanzhen Street, but directly in the county, can you use your connections to help them get a batch of second-hand video recorders from outside?"

Lu Yang did not refuse this time: "I'll think of a way, but I can't help you for nothing this time. You can also tell your relatives the truth. Forget about second-hand machines that cost a few hundred yuan each. Such opportunities are hard to come by. Besides, I have to put in a lot of effort to transport the machines back from outside, and they need to reimburse the expenses. In addition, I have put in so much effort, so it shouldn't be too much to sell them a few hundred yuan each, right?"

Some things should be said clearly.

But even so, Zhuangzhuang was still overjoyed and said quickly, "Of course, of course. I can't let you work in vain, Brother Yang. Adding a few hundred yuan to each machine is a small matter. As long as I can sell second-hand machines to my relatives, it will be fine."

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I can explain to my father, second sister and brother-in-law when I get back.

After Yin Zhuangzhuang left, Lu Yang turned to look at Gong Pingan and said with a smile: "Brother Pingan, don't you want to make money? If you had nodded just now, you might not have to pay any capital and could have got a share for free. Wouldn't you be tempted?"

Even though Gong Pingan knew that Lu Yang was joking, he still had a dark face and said lightly: "I don't trust your classmate's relatives."

Lu Yang chuckled and gave a thumbs up: "Great minds think alike. I don't trust his relatives either."

Then he added, "I have one more thing to tell you. Da Jun also wants to open a video parlor. He wants me to invest in it and bring you in as well. What do you think?"

In Gong Ping'an's mind, there appeared a person who smiled naively, like a fool, but once angered, he would immediately become more ferocious than a tiger, and always made the scene very bloody.

The key point is that this guy was also a soldier like himself.

shook his head.

He nodded again: "Okay."

"That's fine."

Lu Yang clapped his hands, stood up and said, "It just so happens that I have an invitation to the Canton Fair here. The date is approaching. Go back and pack up. I'll give you two days off first, and then you, Lao Liu, and Da Jun will accompany me to the city. This invitation was forced upon me by Vice Mayor Xu last time. Let's go meet up with other corporate representatives in the city and set off together. Hehe, it's a good opportunity to bring back some local specialties along the way. Isn't that perfect?"

The Canton Fair is of great significance. Since its inception, it has shouldered the important task of breaking the foreign blockade and earning foreign exchange for the motherland.

In short, it is about doing business with the whole world, and those who can appear at this trade fair are foreign guests from dozens of countries around the world.

Lu Yang had no chance to participate, because it was just a private enterprise, and it sold clothing, which was a non-technical product, to earn foreign exchange for the motherland. In this era, state-owned enterprises were still the main force.

It might be that big order of 300 million that made Vice Mayor Xu see his potential, so he went against all odds and allowed him to give it a try, even if it was just to see the world. After all these years, the trade teams organized by the city had not achieved any major trading results at this Canton Fair.

Why not just give it a try?

However, others did not take him seriously and just regarded him as an insignificant person who was just there to join in the fun. Lu Yang himself could not help but take him seriously.

Earn foreign exchange!
He is also very interested.

Therefore, this time we not only brought Gong Pingan and Da Jun, but also Lao Liu. This kid is eloquent and sweet-spoken, and young girls and wives are often made to laugh so hard that they can't stop. If we bring him along, maybe a miracle will happen.

　Today, I went home to see my mom and helped her make rice dumplings for the whole afternoon. I also wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival and good night!!!
