Among the many competitors, Zhang Laosan stood out with his rich and shameless experience, and succeeded in gaining the upper hand by flattering others.
After all, Ji Changze is looking for a younger brother who can be shameless (thick-skinned), and Zhang Laosan perfectly demonstrated how he meets this condition on the spot.
After hearing that Ji Changze agreed to let him work together, his face was filled with joy and he waved to the others:
"Let's go, let's go. Let's all go. My brother Nagasawa has just come back. He must be exhausted along the way. Let him have a good rest."
other people:"… "
No, they haven't figured it out yet. Isn't Ji Changze a loser? Why is it so powerful all of a sudden
And Zhang Laosan...
Don't they want to deal with each other? !
But Ji Changze had just come back, and they were too embarrassed to ask questions, so they all dispersed.
For a time, only Ji Changze, Ji's parents, and Zhang Laosan were left in front of the Ji family.
Ji's father and Ji's mother were still too confused to react.
It is a good thing that my son has become successful.
But the promising son is Nagasawa. Why do they find it so magical
If the promising person was Ji Changguang, the Ji family's parents would definitely be shocked, but they wouldn't be like they are now.
I can't believe it at all!
This is their parents' legacy.
How could Nagasawa have any future!
It doesn’t make sense!
Ji Changze also knew that they would be confused, so he simply cleared the place first and looked at Zhang Laosan: "You go back first."
"Eh!"
Zhang Laosan worked hard to maintain the setting of "If Brother Nagasawa asks me to go east, I will not go west. If Brother Nagasawa asks me to go home, I will never stay here." He laughed and ran out.
Halfway through, he turned back and asked, "Brother Nagasawa, do you have any instructions so I can prepare in advance?"
Ji Changze was reminded.
He waved to Zhang Laosan: "Yes, come here and I'll tell you."
Zhang Laosan ran over quickly, and Ji Changze whispered in his ear:
"Xiaolu and I are getting married. When we get married, you will mix in the crowd and say that Xiaolu and I are talented and good-looking, and we are a perfect match. I make more money, Xiaolu has a good education, I am handsome, and Xiaolu is naturally beautiful. We are all kind-hearted, hard-working, simple, love the party, the country and the people, and we will definitely be happy in the future."
Zhang Laosan: "..."
"Remember, you must blend in with the crowd, and you must change your voices to make people think these words are shouted by different people."
Zhang Laosan: "..."
"But... what's the use of this?"
Ji Changze knocked him on the head: "You are stupid or not, of course it will be useful. This will make me look more respectable."
Zhang Laosan: "..."
He didn't dare to go against the wishes of his parents, so he could only look at Ji Changze with a strange expression: "Brother Changze, are you really going to do this? Isn't it a little weird?"
Ji Changze looked serious: "Do you think I asked you to do this for myself?"
Zhang Laosan: "...isn't it?"
"Of course not."
Ji Changze put his arms around his shoulders and analyzed with him: "Did I just say that the person I'm looking for must be a talkative person and not afraid of strangers."
Zhang Laosan nodded blankly: "Yes."
Ji Changze: "How do I know that you are really qualified? What if you say you are, but in fact you are not?"
Zhang Laosan; "But we grew up together. You know very well what kind of person I am."
Ji Changze smiled evilly;
"Really? Then why can't you tell me off every time?"
Zhang Laosan: "..."
Yes, it seemed like every time he met Ji Changze, the outcome would be tragic.
"But I'm really good at talking about it. Really, if you don't believe me, just ask other people. They all know it."
"Xiaosansan."
Ji Changze smiled angrily: "Whether you can follow me or not depends not on what others say about you, but on what I see in you."
"If you don't confirm it in front of me, how can I trust you? How can I entrust you with this good job of twenty yuan a month?"
Zhang Laosan thoughtfully nodded: "Yes, Brother Nagasawa, you are right."
Ji Changze continued: "Besides, do you think purchasing is easy? What if I take you there, but you are too thin-skinned to speak up and lose your job?"
Following his words, Zhang Laosan's expression immediately became tense.
Twenty yuan a month!
Even if he loses his IQ, he can't lose this job!
Ji Changze: "We grew up in the same village after all. Of course I can't just watch you lose this job, so!!"
He clapped his hands and said, "I just wanted to kindly train you, let you practice your eloquence and adaptability, so that you don't follow me to the Magic City and be driven back in despair."
Zhang Laosan suddenly realized: "Brother Changze, I didn't expect you to have such good intentions."
Ji Changze nodded firmly: "As long as you understand."
After Zhang Laosan thought about it clearly, he felt ashamed in his heart.
He was trying to please Ji Changze like this just for money. When Ji Changze didn't come back, he was always making noises in the village. Ji Changze was a liar. He must have been fooling people by saying he was going to the magic city.
As a result, when Ji Changze came back, not only did he not argue with him, nor did he give him work, but he also helped him practice his eloquence.
He actually used such an important occasion as a wedding to exercise.
Neither of his two brothers were as kind to him as Ji Changze was.
"Brother Nagasawa..."
The more I thought about it, the more moved I became. For a moment, Zhang Laosan looked at Ji Changze with gratitude in his eyes.
Ji Changze patted him on the shoulder: "Good brother, go ahead, go home and practice how to make different people's voices, and think of more words to praise me and Xiaolu."
"Um!"
Zhang Laosan's face was full of fighting spirit: "Brother Nagasawa, you are so good to me, I will never betray your trust!!"
He left with high morale, and when he was ready to go home, he would practice a hundred ways to praise others in return for Ji Changze's kindness to him.
Ji Changze stood there and watched him walk away. Behind him, Ji Changze's mother asked him: "Nangze, what did you say to him?"
"Oh, nothing."
He turned back and smiled at Ji Mu: "I saw that he was stupid, so I just lied to him."
Ji's mother didn't hear clearly. She just pulled her son into the house quickly, closed the door again, and then asked:
“Nagaze, tell mom, what’s going on, how do you earn your money??”
Ji Changze blinked with an innocent look on his face: "I just earned it by going to the Magic City."
"Don't coax me. How can I not know you? You can eat and drink, but not work. How could the factory director introduce you to work in a big city? I told you to explain it to me before, but it turned out You turned your back and ran away.”
Ji Changze still looked confident.
He didn't lie either. He did earn that money by going to the Magic City.
Now only the devil has no chance to say this, of course he wants to go to the devil's capital.
Ji Changze worked very hard to purchase goods in the Magic City, and then went to other cities to sell goods like a thief.
Later, he felt it was too hard, so he would buy goods first, then go to other cities to pretend to buy things. He would squat behind the person who came to sell things and persuade them to buy goods from him.
As for selling for twice the principal amount...
Magic city!
What a big city!
Of course things coming out of here are more expensive.
Ji's mother pulled her son into the yard, and then pulled Ji's father, who was smoking cigarettes, over: "In front of your father and me, tell me clearly how you earned this money!"
She was very keen. She looked left and right first, and then asked in a low voice with a suspicious look on her face: "You didn't do anything illegal, did you?"
Ji Changze's expression remained unchanged: "Mom, what are you talking about? How could you say that about your own son?"
He sat down on the bench and said confidently, "I am what I am today because of my good character."
Mother Ji: “???”
Father Ji: Bata Bata
Ji Changze: "Here's the thing, didn't I enter the factory before? And I am such a kind person. I saw other workers not taking a break even when they had rest time. I was kind-hearted, so I took a break for them and had a meal. When I was there, I saw that everyone only served one bowl of rice, but I was kind-hearted and feared that the rice would not be finished and wasted, so I ate three bowls in one meal."
He clapped his hands: "Then, our factory director said that his factory was small and the food was not enough. But he was grateful to me, so he recommended me to go to a big factory in Shanghai, where the food can be eaten open."
Father Ji: Bata, bah, bah.
Ji Mu: “…”
She translated Ji Changze's words.
It was after he entered the factory that he ate too much even if he didn't work. The director of the factory was too embarrassed to fire him because he had helped before, so he asked him to go to a large factory in Shanghai.
Sure enough, it was something her son could do.
She looked at her youngest son sitting in front of her. This darling still looked confident: "Mom, tell me, is it because of my own efforts that I can go to a state-owned enterprise in Shanghai?"
Mother Ji: "Probably...should...forget it..."
Ji's father smoked dry cigarettes: "bah, bah, bah, bah."
Mother Ji asked again: "Then even if you go to Magic City, why do you come back with so much money all of a sudden? Are the wages of workers in Magic City so high?"
"Of course not."
Ji Changze is a very principled person and he never tells lies that will be exposed.
He replied: "Mom, what you are thinking is too good. The wages in Magic City are higher than ours, but not much higher. But after I went to Magic City, the factory manager saw that I looked energetic, so he let me I’ll do the purchasing and then take care of the sales.”
"There is a commission for this sale."
Ji's mother was confused: "What is commission?"
Ji's father, who had been quietly smoking dry cigarettes, said: "If he sells something for one yuan, he will be given one cent, and if he sells two items, he will be given two cents."
Ji Changze: "Yes, that's it."
The expression on Ji's mother's face immediately turned panicked: "Selling things? Are you selling things privately? Isn't that speculation?! Nagasawa, don't let anyone arrest you. Mom doesn't need money but she wants you to treat her well!"
"Hey." Ji Changze explained: "Now the national policy has changed again. Selling things by yourself is not considered speculation, but now it is only tried in the Magic City. We don't have it here yet, so in the Magic City, it is legal."
Ji Mu: "...ah?"
Father Ji took a puff from his cigarette and said, "He's just speculating but he won't be caught."
Ji's mother understood. After she felt relieved, she felt something was wrong: "So you sold too much? It's impossible. How can you have such ability?"
Why can't she believe it so much? Her son, if he can sit, he will never stand, and if he can lie down, he will never sit.
How can I be so diligent in selling goods if I have always been so lazy to cook them
Ji Changze chuckled, his face full of "Oh, you have seen through this", and waved his hand:
"I didn't want to sell either, but people told me that I couldn't continue to work there if I couldn't sell a certain amount. Then I thought of a way. I found a few people and told them that I would give them a commission and let them Help me sell it, they will pay half of it, and the remaining half will be mine."
Ji's mother turned the words around in her mind, but still couldn't figure it out: "What do you mean?"
Father Ji put down his dry cigarette: "That is to say, he told others that he would get a commission, and then they sold clothes for him. He gave them half of his commission. If someone else sells one piece, isn't it equivalent to him selling one? He took the commission. , give half to others, and keep half for yourself.”
“That’s why we in Nagasawa are rich even if we don’t work.”
Ji's mother felt dizzy after hearing this, but she persisted and found the key point: "That's not right. Then isn't Nagasawa taking advantage of a small loophole?"
Then shouldn’t work be done in a down-to-earth manner
Ji's father smoked a dry cigarette: "He's not taking advantage of small loopholes, he's smart."
Ji Changze nodded; "Yes! I'm smart!"
Ji's father exhaled a puff of cigarette and showed a happy smile:
"This child follows his father."
"nonsense!!"
Ji's mother also came to her senses, and immediately slapped her thigh: "Of course the son I gave birth to will follow me! I, Nagasawa, will obviously follow my smart appearance!"
Ji Changze looked at Ji's father.
Father Ji; Bata Bata.
"Watch what I do."
"Y/n mom is right, you can do whatever she wants."
