Sun Qiang was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a while.
He knew better than anyone how miserable Shen Mingyuan was back then. He ate steamed buns and pickles for lunch every day. Those who were fined for the first month’s wages only had five yuan left. Days, I have to squeeze through my teeth to pay the rent.
Sometimes seeing how miserable he is, I feel that this kind of life is not human. I talked about Shen Mingyuan's experience as an apprentice in other places before, and it was also very miserable. He was a disabled person and could not find any suitable job, so he was in a very difficult situation.
Sun Qiang found that Shen Mingyuan's clothes seemed to be new as well.
But he was poor at that time, could it be that he was pretending? But think about it, if you have money, who would pretend to have no money
Who wants to pretend to be poor and make people look down on them? But if he has money to save money in the bank, it means that he has made money and found a new job.
"Brother Mingyuan, what have you been doing lately? It looks like you're doing pretty well. If you have a chance to make a fortune, don't forget about it, bro."
Shen Mingyuan smiled lightly at him: "No, I'm still doing my old job and earning my living."
Sun Qiang didn't believe that Shen Mingyuan should have made a lot of money just by making a living. This must be hiding his clumsiness. Even though Shen Mingyuan looked dull, his mind was not stupid at all.
"Don't worry, I don't have any thoughts. You see, it is very difficult for my brother to take care of his family. The job of the newspaper office earns too little, and this time my daughter will spend a lot of money to see a doctor. Life is too hard and too hard. , if you jump out of the sea of suffering, help me if you can, I will definitely be grateful to you."
In fact, Shen Mingyuan himself has just escaped poverty, and now he only has some opportunities to make money. These opportunities are only available with the help of his second brother and second sister-in-law. Without their help, he might still be living in the same desolation as before.
He hasn't forgotten how much he has, and he doesn't have that much compassion, and he has the ability to help his colleagues find suitable opportunities.
In other words, he had the opportunity of his second elder brother and second sister-in-law benefactors, but Sun Qiang did not, and he himself did not grow up to be so powerful that he could help others casually.
If one day, he really has the ability, he is also willing to help with things that can be done with little effort.
Shen Mingyuan said again: "Brother Sun Qiang, I'm actually not doing very well now, and what I do is also a hard and tiring job. If you don't want to do it at the newspaper office, why don't you find another job? Go to work in a factory, or go to a restaurant If you have hands and feet, you won’t starve to death.”
As soon as Sun Qiang heard it, he knew that Shen Mingyuan would not be willing to help, and he said helplessly and uncomfortablely: "If I quit my job at the newspaper, I'm afraid I won't find another suitable one, and there will be no way to go to the factory." And the letter of introduction, everyone is a radish and a pit, and it’s not my turn. If I’m not married, I can plan anyway. Now there are two mouths waiting to eat at home. The key is that I’m afraid that my salary will be cut off. Northwest wind, next year my children will have to go to school, there is pressure everywhere, how dare I resign.
Shen Mingyuan also doesn't know how to comfort others, and he doesn't know how to say great principles, but when he heard that Sun Qiang is in such a difficult situation, he suddenly thought of the conversation between the two elder sisters at the second sister-in-law's house before, which inspired him, and he had the opportunity to start a business. Although I was very naive at the time, I didn’t use the right method at first, but after using the formula given by my second sister-in-law, the business really started to improve. As long as the method is correct, I will definitely make money. That’s for selling apples. He is a foreigner, and he always remembers the scene when all the trucks were sold out.
His apples are delicious, but the transportation is also very hard. The process is very difficult, because no one in this world succeeds casually.
"There is a saying that people think of ways to move living trees and die. If there is an opportunity, you must seize it. As long as you work hard, you will not starve to death. Look at the old lady who sells melons on the street. , people can also make money, and it’s good to do a small business.”
A man as old as Sun Qiang, of course, knows this truth. The key point is that he is afraid that doing business is risky. If it is really so easy to make money, he would have tried it a long time ago.
"Forget it, I'm not a business person, and I don't seem to have that brain."
Seeing Sun Qiang say that, Shen Mingyuan stopped the topic here. If the other party is unwilling to leave the safe zone and live a stable and poor life like this, then no one can help him.
"Brother Sun Qiang, I still have something to do, so I'll go first."
Sun Qiang originally wanted to ask Shen Mingyuan's address, but because Shen Mingyuan walked too fast, he didn't stop him.
Looking back, Shen Mingyuan actually persuaded himself to start a small business. Could it be that he spent all this time doing business
He thought it was more and more possible, otherwise how could the money come so fast
Sun Qiang is very envious of Shen Mingyuan being able to do business, because he is not married, has no family encumbrances, and doesn't seem to need to support his parents, and there are subsidies for the disabled. Poor, but the whole family is not hungry if one person is full, and the poor have no pressure.
He has to support several people, and the pressure is really too great. Think about it, if he doesn't have so much pressure now, he can dare to think and do it. It's a pity that he dare not take this risk now, and he can't stand the toss.
When Sun Qiang went back, he told other colleagues in the newspaper office that he had encountered Shen Mingyuan's incident today, and somehow he was heard by the newspaper manager. When the newspaper manager heard that Shen Mingyuan had made money in business, he immediately expressed ten thousand disbeliefs.
"Don't talk nonsense, as far as his brain is concerned, it is obvious that he has mental problems. He can still get wet after handing out a newspaper. He made two mistakes in a month. He can't do such a simple thing well, but he can still do it. what?"
"Boss, I really saw Shen Mingyuan saving money today, and he even advised me to start a small business. If it wasn't for business, how could I make money?"
"You must not listen to his nonsense. There are risks in doing business, and you will definitely lose money. He won't earn his money by stealing. Is it clean? Shen Mingyuan's brain is not good, and he may not be able to count. How can he do business? .”
"That's right, isn't he a fool? The money must have been stolen. Maybe I'll see him in the detention center in a few days."
The employees in the newspaper office all nodded. They always thought that people like Shen Mingyuan didn't have the brains to do business, so the money was not a good source.
But Sun Qiang thought to himself that these people had underestimated Shen Mingyuan's IQ. In fact, these people might not be as smart as Shen Mingyuan. In short, he felt that although Shen Mingyuan was physically disabled, his mind was not stupid, and he was so easy-going. He definitely didn't have the guts to steal things. The colleagues in the newspaper office are too dirty. Is it so difficult to admit that others are excellent
With the hot sales of multi-functional tables and chairs, multi-functional bookcases, multi-functional wardrobes, and multi-functional kitchen storage racks are all listed in turn.
The production methods of other furniture are similar to tables and chairs, even simpler than tables and chairs. Chen Yuan and Shen Huai are responsible for the drawings, Shen Mingyuan is responsible for the production, and the furniture is also ordered in small quantities by parents.
Although the things are very useful, after all, the market is too small. There are only a few friends and relatives, and the business will soon reach saturation. A piece of furniture has a long service life, and it is estimated that it will be impossible to replace it within ten years, so this one is sold out. After the furniture was approved, no one bought it.
Shen Mingyuan had no choice but to continue to manage the melon seeds business.
Chen Yuan is busy compiling the second English book. The content of the second book is richer, and the delivery time is much longer. It can be said that it will take more than a month before it can be handed over to the publisher.
And Liu Chuan has obviously tasted the sweetness these days. He thinks that the big Buddha Chen Yuan is simply the lucky god of the publishing house, saving them from the fire and water, but now the publication of the first part can be said to have just saved them. , but this speed will always slow down.
The local bookstores are now fully stocked, and the overseas market has not yet opened up. Generally speaking, it is far from enough to make money. If the publishing house is to fully recover, it needs to make more money.
Now that Liu Chuan had finally grasped it, how could he let Chen Yuan's talent go so easily as his straw, so he planned to talk to Chen Yuan about a big deal.
Shen Huai opened the outside door and saw that the person visiting from outside was Liu Chuan. He saw that this kid came to look for Chen Yuan again. He had come here three or four times this month, and he stayed for a long time before leaving each time. It's talking about serious things, but the other party is coming too often.
Moreover, every time Liu Chuan saw Chen Yuan's eyes shining, as if seeing something precious, he felt uncomfortable like suffocating.
Shen Huai gritted his teeth and showed a smile, and refused to let Liu Chuan in, asking in an unusually cold voice.
"Mr. Liu, what do you want to see my wife today?"
The word "wife" is particularly strong, as if she is swearing sovereignty, so that the other party can know her status.
Liu Chuan was excited, his eyes wide open, because he stayed up all night last night and was eager to discuss his thoughts with Chen Yuan, so he directly ignored Shen Huai's expression.
"Mr. Shen, I'm here to talk to Mr. Chen about a big deal."
"Tell me what you have, and I'll tell her for you." Shen Huai said very seriously.
Liu Chuan shook his head: "No, I want to tell Teacher Chen in person."
