Listening to the conversation between his parents, Xu Yiyang made some calculations in his mind.
By the time my sister reaches high school, she is no longer subject to compulsory education, and the tuition and miscellaneous fees are indeed much higher.
College is even more expensive.
Tuition, miscellaneous fees, and accommodation fees cost at least four to five thousand a year.
Add in the living expenses, and if you don't have ten thousand or eight thousand a year, you won't be able to afford it.
After all, when one of me and my sister go to college and the other to high school in September, the total expenses for the two of them for a year will add up to more than 10,000 yuan.
Such a large expense has exceeded Xu's father's earning capacity.
Although Xu's father's salary is higher than Xu's mother's part-time job, because there is no establishment, it is only a few hundred yuan more per month.
My mother’s salary as a temporary worker was very low, only about three to four hundred yuan a month in this year.
What's more, now he has been laid off again.
In her previous life, Xu's mother went to sell vegetables on a bicycle just to make up for the gap between family income and expenses.
If I work for a month without missing a day, I can earn four to five hundred yuan, which can barely make up for the gap.
But in that case, almost all of my parents' income would be spent on myself and my sister.
With very little money left, they not only have to maintain living and family expenses, but also maintain various human relationships, which is very stressful.
At this time, Xu's mother said to Xu's father: "By the way, do you remember Sister Liu who worked in the carton factory with me before? The one whose son was admitted to the University of Science and Technology of China."
Father Xu nodded: "Remember, what happened?"
Xu's mother said: "I went to buy vegetables today and happened to meet her. She has a stall selling vegetables at the Xiguan Vegetable Market."
As she said that, Xu's mother said with a happy face: "Sister Liu told me that selling vegetables does not require much capital, and if you work hard, you can earn four to five hundred a month! I am thinking that after the New Year, I will also buy a tricycle. , go sell vegetables with her."
"no!"
Before Xu's father could express his position, Xu Yiyang blurted out: "Mom, selling vegetables is too hard. I have to go out to buy vegetables at three or four o'clock every day. If I'm lucky, I can sell out at noon. If I'm not lucky, I may sell until dark. There are still some leftovers, and a lot of the vegetables will be wilted the next day after you take them home, and you won’t be able to sell them. You might end up losing money even if you don’t put in the work.”
Xu Ma was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh, you understand quite clearly."
Xu Yiyang felt sad, could he not be clear about this
In her last life, my mother chose the path of selling vegetables, and she worked there for several years, going through wind and rain, and picking up a lot of ailments.
In this life, he couldn't let her go down this old road again.
At this time, Xu's mother said: "Mom has found out clearly that selling vegetables is indeed a bit hard, but fortunately it is easy to get started and doesn't cost anything."
As she spoke, Xu’s mother stretched out her fingers to calculate: “Look, buying a second-hand tricycle only costs about a hundred yuan, buying a steel scale only costs about ten yuan, and the daily management fee for a stall in the wet market is only a few yuan. If If we just sell some vegetables, the purchase cost per day is only a few dozen yuan, so it only costs two to three hundred yuan to open the business, and we can make back the investment in half a month!"
"That's not okay!" Xu Yiyang said firmly: "If you go to sell vegetables, then I won't go to school. I will accompany you to sell vegetables, and I will ride a tricycle for you!"
Xu Yishan also hurriedly put down her chopsticks and insisted: "Mom, I will sell vegetables with you too! I can help push the cart and collect money!"
"Nonsense!" Xu's mother glared at Xu Yiyang and said to him and his sister: "Both of you are going to college. Is it reasonable to sell vegetables to me? Besides, my mother is only 40 years old this year. She is young, strong and in good health. It’s incredible, what’s the point of selling vegetables?”
Xu Yiyang felt sad for a while and said deliberately: "Then I can't let you go. If you go to sell vegetables, I won't go to school."
"This kid..."
Xu's mother sighed and said in a negotiating tone: "Good son, my mother has to make money for you and your sister to go to school. Otherwise, will your father be exhausted to death just by relying on you?"
"Besides, Mom won't have to work hard for a few years. Won't you be able to make money after you go to college? Then Mom will still enjoy your blessings."
Xu Yiyang said with a firm expression: "I will find a way to make money. You can just rest at home and rest."
Xu's mother said seriously: "Even if you can make money, Mom won't let you go! Your task now is to study, not to make money. When you are at a stage, you have to do things at a stage. If you focus on one thing and lose the other, you will get nothing in the end. "
Dad Xu, who had been silent, nodded and said, "Yangyang, your mother is right. Before you graduate from college, your only mission is to study hard!"
Seeing his parents' resolute expressions, Xu Yiyang hesitated for a moment and could only nod lightly, which was considered a response.
However, he has already made up his mind to make money! You must find a way to make money, and you must make money as soon as possible!
Only when you make money can you truly relieve the pressure on your parents!
However, he searched all his clothes and drawers and found only three dollars and fifty cents in total. He also owed his sister a lot of debt, and his total assets were even negative.
How can I make money
Until he was riding his bicycle to send his sister to school, Xu Yiyang was still thinking about making money.
Today is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, a small year.
Students in other grades have already gone on winter vacation, but the graduating classes of junior high school and senior high school are still taking extra classes.
Xu Yiyang had just returned from rebirth, and he didn't know when the school would have winter vacation, but he estimated that it would only be in the past few days, and it couldn't be postponed until New Year's Day.
After New Year's Eve, for most citizens and graduating students, the year is almost over by the seventh day of the first lunar month.
Work, life, and study are all beginning to return to normal.
According to Xu Yiyang's memory in his previous life, his mother would go out to sell vegetables at that time.
In this way, I must find a way to make some money before the seventh day of the first lunar month, otherwise, the possibility of stopping my mother is almost zero.
This is a full calculation, and it only takes half a month.
How can I make money right now
Doing business? I have no capital;
Stock trading? It also requires capital;
Xu Yiyang also invested in the stock market in his previous life and has a certain understanding of the stock market.
Starting on May 19 this year, there was a historical market trend, known as the May 19 market in history, with technology stocks and internet stocks rising sharply.
In my impression, the stock that led the market on May 19 was named Nanyang Industrial. Later it was renamed Jiaotong University Nanyang and Only Education. If you catch it, you can make a lot of money.
However, I can't even get the money to open an account now, let alone the equity capital.
Do you want to learn from other people’s Internet experience? But I have no skills, and I don’t even have a computer;
Do you want to imitate others and steal cables from factories? Or go to a construction site to steal scaffolding clips
no!
Just for the sake of making money, you can’t embark on the path of breaking the law and committing crimes right after you are reborn!
There are things that a real man does and things he doesn't do, and you can't touch anything that violates laws and disciplines!
After thinking about it, Xu Yiyang found that in his situation as a pauper, he could only do some legal business without capital.
The so-called capitalless buying and selling does not really have no cost, it just does not require capital cost, but correspondingly, it has to pay physical cost, mental cost and energy cost.
And because he has no money, there are not many options to choose from. He either works as a coolie or sells services.
There is little room for imagination in the former, but he does have some experience in the latter.
He set up a training school and gradually developed it into a well-known training institution. Then he followed the trend of the Internet and fully moved online to build a large online education platform.
It can be said that he is very familiar with the training business and can even be considered a master.
Apart from anything else, with his English level, it is absolutely more than enough to serve as a tutor for others.
Although Xu Yiyang has almost forgotten mathematics, physics and chemistry in middle school, his English level is indeed of a very high level thanks to Gu Sijia's more than ten years of training and more than ten years of experience in the English training industry.
Until the day before his rebirth, he was still holding meetings with his team of foreign teachers in English. After ten years of business, he passively learned English almost every day.
Therefore, not only does his English have a very good command of grammar, sentence structure, and vocabulary, but his spoken English is also quite standard. He should be more professional than most English teachers of this era.
However, becoming a tutor is not that easy.
The economic situation is not very good these days. Which school's main subject teacher doesn't hold a training class outside to earn some money to support his family
Moreover, which parent would hire a middle school student who has not graduated from high school to be a tutor
In addition, most parents do not understand English. Xu Yiyang's English is indeed very good, but who would believe it
