After buying the storefront, Wang Shouyi quickly found someone to come and renovate it. After handing over all matters to the foreman, he began to inquire about buying a car.
Because they were transporting goods, the two planned to buy a tractor and a pedal tricycle. The tractor was used to transport large items, and the tricycle was used to transport small items.
Originally they wanted to buy a big truck, but after searching around they couldn't find a way, so they had to settle for the next best thing and bought a tractor.
There was no farm implement factory in Beijing, so they went to the nearby city to buy the vehicles, then drove over and registered them at the vehicle management office.
After finishing all this, the two returned to their hometown and sold their jobs.
This time, Qian Shulan did not ask them to give their jobs away. Even in the future, drivers will not be laid off.
In less than a month, the four of them returned one after another.
Qian Shulan's house naturally couldn't accommodate so many people. Wang Shouren and Sun Daqin stayed here. Wang Shouyi and Li Chunhua lived in the room behind the shop, where they could watch the car. Zhengjun and his wife lived in the hotel.
The fourth brother and his wife rented a house very close to their shop.
The grain store of Lao Si and his wife was quickly established. Wang Shouli bought a tractor to transport grain to the outskirts of the city. Of course, he did not only sell local grain, but also grain that was not grown locally, which he could get through his previous connections.
Compared to the government where you need food coupons to buy food, their store doesn't need coupons, and has a wider range of goods, so it is more popular. Even though his prices are a little bit higher than others, there is still a constant stream of customers coming and going.
Business was so hot that Zhou Xuemei couldn't handle it alone, so she immediately hired two employees to be responsible for selling goods. After the business got on track, she rented a shop in another area and opened a grain and oil store.
These two people made money faster than Sun Daqin, which surprised everyone.
Wang Shouyi and Wang Shouli even came to them specifically to learn from them.
Although the things sold are different, the business practices are universal.
When Wang Shouli is not busy, he will also give the two of them some advice.
After seeing that the two men opened their business, they spent several thousand dollars on advertising in newspapers for a month, but were unable to recoup their costs at all.
Wang Shouli came up with a better idea for the two men. "I think you should also print the address of your store on the street like they do." He pointed at the psoriasis that could be seen everywhere on the street and said, "Don't underestimate them. They will write down your address when they need it."
Now that individual businesses are developing very rapidly, in order to be found, some craftsmen have started to do some psoriasis.
Wang Shouyi and Wang Shouren also thought this was a good idea, but when they told Qian Shulan about it, she strongly opposed it.
"You put the advertisement on the wall. Have you ever thought about the inconvenience it caused to people? Beijing is even dirtier and messier, and you still want to smear it. Do you have any moral sense?"
Qian Shulan walked on the street, and saw posters everywhere, on telephone poles, walls, the ground, and people's doors. If there were a patient with trypophobia, he would probably collapse in a minute after seeing this.
"There are so many ways to spread the word, do you have to choose this worst option?"
Seeing his mother's firm opposition, Wang Shouren immediately said, "Forget it, let's think of another way."
Qian Shulan's complexion finally improved.
Wang Shouyi stroked his chin and pondered for a long time, scratching his hair irritably, "Is there any other way to save money and effort?"
Qian Shulan quickly thought of it, "I think you might as well print some flyers."
"What is a leaflet?" It was the first time Wang Shouyi heard this word.
Qian Shulan patiently explained to the two, "We just find a printing factory to print advertisements for people. Then we distribute them to passers-by, so that if someone has a need, they can find you with a flyer."
Wang Shouli's eyes lit up amazingly, and he clapped his hands and praised, "This is a good idea." Although this method is also expensive, it is at least convenient. You don't have to copy the address from the wall, and you don't have to worry about others covering your address.
Wang Shouren also agreed, "This is indeed a good idea!"
Since everyone supported it, the three of them started to get busy.
They first looked for someone to help design the advertisement. They could just ask Zhuzi for help. Xiaomin happened to be back from her weekend break and assisted.
Originally, Qian Shulan thought that since Xiao Min was a painter, her work should be good, but she was very dissatisfied with the results.
"The flyer doesn't need to be too beautiful. But it must have an exaggerated title and large fonts. Two tractors should also be printed on it to make it look more upscale."
Xiao Min's face turned red with embarrassment, but she was not angry. Instead, she was curious about what the flyer looked like.
The pillars had to be redesigned. This time, the finished product, except for the neat layout, was not beautiful at all.
"I think this is good. How great!" Wang Shouyi was very satisfied when he took the flyer printed by Zhuzi.
Wang Shouren also thought it was good.
Because they had little money, Wang Shouren and Wang Shouyi did not call for anyone, but asked Zhuzi and Xiaomin, who were on weekends off, to help distribute flyers on the streets.
Of course, these two people also went to various factories to distribute them.
You know what, the next day, someone came to the door with flyers.
Wang Shouren and Wang Shouyi had been to Sun Daqin's hotel and found that the waiter's attitude was very good.
The two also learned from their experience and were very patient in treating customers. They were also very careful when moving things. When all the goods were moved, they asked Li Chunhua to clean it specially. Although it was not a thorough cleaning, at least on the surface, the house was cleaned.
The customers were very satisfied. When introducing the moving company to others, they would also praise it. The reputation of their moving company is getting better and better.
In the end, even if I didn’t distribute flyers, I would still get business coming to my store every day.
Gradually, the moving company got on track, and Wang Shouren and Wang Shouyi immediately recruited two young men to help.
Three months later, the two of them took stock of their accounts, and Wang Shouyi was pleasantly surprised to find that "according to the current momentum, we can make back our investment in two more months."
Wang Shouren also had an ambition, "Someday, we can open a branch store like the fourth brother and his wife did."
Wang Shouyi smiled and put his arm around his elder brother's shoulders. "They have experience. We have to cross the river by feeling the stones. We have to take it step by step. We can't eat everything at once."
After Wang Shouren thought about it carefully, he also felt that what his third brother said made sense.
Wang Shouyi glanced at the account book. "I think we can use this store as the head office in the future. When we open a branch, we don't need to buy a store with a yard. We can just buy a storefront and save money."
"Wouldn't it be better for Lao Si and his friends to just rent a shop?" Wang Shouren heard what he meant and was a little confused.
Wang Shouyi explained to his eldest brother, "The grain store owned by the fourth brother and his wife has low costs, so anyone with a little money can afford it. That's why he opened a branch so quickly. He got everyone used to buying things from his store. But the cost of entry for our moving company is not low, and there are really few moving companies in Beijing. There's no need to rush to expand."
Wang Shouren slapped his thigh and said, "You are right."
At this moment, Li Chunhua came into the room carrying food.
Wang Shouren then realized that it was already late, and he immediately stood up and said, "Third brother, I'm leaving first."
Wang Shouyi and Li Chunhua hurriedly asked the guests to stay and said, "Let's eat here before we leave."
"No need." Wang Shouren waved his hand and left without looking back.
Li Chunhua was so tired that her back and waist ached. Now that the moving company was on track and receiving more and more orders, all the housekeeping work was pushed to her alone.
She hadn't worked for a long time and couldn't bear it. Seeing her husband eating so happily, Li Chunhua tentatively asked, "Grandson's father, why don't you hire someone else?"
Wang Shouyi raised his head and glanced at her. "There are already two young men. Why are you recruiting so many people?"
Li Chunhua said with a bitter face, "No, I mean to hire another woman to work with me. I am too tired to do so much work every day."
Wang Shouyi glanced at her hand and frowned slightly, "Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible."
Li Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief, but Wang Shouyi added, "Even if we hire someone, you still have to work to earn money. My mother scolded me when she heard that you just sat there in the sun at home. You are not that old, but you don't work all day. Move more when you can. When you are old and can't move anymore, you will know how hard life is."
Li Chunhua was so angry that her teeth ached. How could there be such a mother-in-law who wouldn't even let her daughter-in-law take a rest? But she didn't dare to express her dissatisfaction.
But then Wang Shouyi added, "But our mother also said that you can't work too hard. Let me find someone to share your work. Just let you stretch your muscles every day."
Li Chunhua felt relieved and said, "Okay then."
Qian Shulan had long discovered that Li Chunhua was getting older and seemed a little lazy. If things continued like this, her career value would definitely decline, so she used this method of giving her a slap in the face and then a sweet treat. She wanted her to know that I asked her to work for her health. Li Chunhua, who was so naive, believed it immediately.
It is said that when Wang Shouren returned home and saw the food his wife had packed and brought back, he immediately washed his hands and sat down.
"Eat quickly." Perhaps because he was spoiled by his wife's cooking skills, Wang Shouren couldn't eat the dishes cooked by Li Chunhua at all. So even though the third brother and his wife were enthusiastic to invite him to dinner every time, he never stayed for a meal.
Sun Daqin sat beside him and talked to him, "Our mother is in a bad mood. After dinner, remember to accompany her."
"What's the matter? Did someone make her angry?" Wang Shouren paused while picking up the food and looked up at his wife.
Sun Daqin shook her head. "I don't know. When I came back, our mother went back to her room to sleep. Usually she doesn't go to bed before ten o'clock. But today she went back to her room before eight o'clock. I think she might be worried."
Wang Shouren didn't even bother to taste the delicious food. He ate the rice in big mouthfuls, gobbled it up, and soon filled his stomach.
Sun Daqin didn't let him clean up the dishes himself, and immediately stood up to help him.
Wang Shouren walked to his mother's house and knocked a few times.
He didn't push the door open until he heard someone inside say "Come in".
As soon as he entered, he saw his mother sitting by the bed, covering her face and wiping away tears. He was startled and took two or three steps forward, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Qian Shulan handed him the telegram in her hand. Wang Shouren took a glance at it and was immediately stunned.
