Chapter 59 The second lesson to Lao Xu
Xu Chen smiled:
"The college entrance examination results haven't been released yet. How do I know which university I can go to?"
Xie Bingran: "Then tell me when the time comes."
Xu Chen: "Yeah."
He suddenly realized why Xie Bingran asked this question and said:
"When you win one or two championships, you should soon receive offers from many good universities.
You must not apply for college because of me! ”
He said half-jokingly:
"If I get into a bad school, you will still come with me."
Xie Bingran was silent for a while and then said:
"Anyway, you can tell me when the time comes."
Xu Chen laughed:
"Don't worry, I still have your contract of sale, and I can't let you go."
……
After coming out of McDonald's, Xu Chen found that many people had gathered on the street outside the door.
At first glance, they are all Xie Bingran’s “little brothers”.
A group of people gathered around and started calling "Brother Bing" and "Brother Chen".
Xie Bingran explained:
"I'm leaving tomorrow to have a meal with them."
Xu Chen joked:
"Then you still eat so much with me. Brother Bing has such a big appetite."
"Do you want to die..."
……
On the way back to school alone, Xu Chen stopped by and bought two huazi, which were promised to Chen Dahai.
When the shrewd store owner saw that it was Xu Chen, he didn't dare to deceive him with fake goods anymore, and even gave him four packs of red Baxi as gifts, hoping that Xu Chen could continue to "take care of business" in the future.
The gift was not a good cigarette, and Xu Chen didn't refuse anyone who came, so he just put it in his pocket.
On the way, I received another call from my father, Xu Zhiquan:
"Xu Chen, I happen to be in the city tomorrow and will have dinner with my father at noon!"
Xu Chen thought to himself that this was just right. He just needed to teach his biological father some more lessons to make his road to wealth more difficult.
……
……
Thursday and Friday are two days of mock exams.
The senior high school classes dispersed their seats and simulated the actual process of the college entrance examination.
On Thursday morning, I only took one Chinese test.
Xu Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he walked out of the examination room with his bag.
My review status is not bad, at least I feel good about myself.
The topic of the composition in the morning was to write an 800-word composition based on a modern poem that I had never read and a derived theme.
Xu Chen reluctantly relied on the college entrance examination essay "Starry Sky" from his previous life, and used some of the good materials he had accumulated in actual combat.
……
He walked out of the school gate directly with his bag and walked towards the parking lot across the road.
I walked around but didn't see my father Xu Zhiquan's yellow van.
At this moment, the lights of a black Honda Accord flashed. Xu Zhiquan stood out from the cab with a smile and waved to Xu Chen.
Xu Chen walked over and looked at the black Accord.
"Dad, what's going on?"
Xu Zhiquan smiled: "The car has been upgraded!"
Xu Chen took a closer look and found that the Accord looked a little old, so it was probably a second-hand car.
But it had obviously just been cleaned and tidied up, and it looked bright.
The Accord of this era is also a serious "business luxury". A new car costs about 20,000 to 300,000 yuan, and a second-hand one is not too cheap.
Xu Zhiquan took a puff of cigarette, patted the roof of the car and said:
"There is no way. Now I am running business to visit some leaders and customers. I can't hold up the scene by driving a van, and it's not easy to talk about things."
Xu Chen smiled: "This money should be spent."
"Get in the car and take a look!"
The black leather seats are paired with dark brown wood grain decorative accessories. Although they are slightly retro, they also reveal the high-end style of this era.
Looking at Xu Zhiquan's expression, he obviously liked it very much.
Xu Chen looked back and found five or six bags of Maotai placed on the back seat.
Xu Zhiquan smiled:
"There will be bidding for several projects later. I have to make some connections in the afternoon. I can't go empty-handed..." Xu Chen nodded, naturally understanding the worldliness of this person.
The person who invented this Moutai handbag is really a genius.
Three bottles of wine can’t be filled, and two bottles of wine can’t be filled.
With the addition of two pieces of Chinese, the left and right sides fit together perfectly.
If there is still some room left above and below, put an envelope under the two bottles of wine, but it will be perfectly integrated.
The recipient of the gift can tell how helpful it is at a glance.
The wisdom of the world is not as simple as advanced mathematics.
……
Xu Zhiquan drove Xu Chen to a serious hotel restaurant near the school and ordered a table of dishes.
"Son, eat more, the exam is too taxing on your brain."
While Xu Chen was enjoying his meal, Xu Zhiquan was also happily sharing the progress of his nursery business.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"The supply-side problem has basically been solved. Beishan Lian Village has contracted six plots of land, with ready-made seedlings and skilled workers.
The projects that can be won this year can basically be sustained..."
"We are also considering purchasing some land near our original factory area and starting planting in advance for next year's orders. Your fourth uncle is running this matter..."
"Your fourth uncle is now an expert. He has been studying how to save money on fertilizers these past two days!"
"There are basically no problems with the Chengnan Expressway bidding. Among several competitors, our quotation and overall plan are still the best..."
"In addition, Dad has smoothed out some relationships, which will also be helpful for subsequent bidding..."
"There are still several high-speed sections that will be tendered soon. Your third uncle also got started very quickly. Now the tenders have been cleared!"
……
Xu Zhiquan said happily, Xu Chen listened happily.
"Xu Chen, the path you pointed out to dad is really profitable!"
Xu Chen smiled, this was in line with his prediction.
The decision to start the seedling business for my father was based on many comprehensive considerations.
In addition to objective external market opportunities, Lao Xu’s current funds, capabilities, connections, etc. were also considered.
It’s not surprising at all that Xu Zhiquan started running the seedling business so quickly.
Xu Zhiquan came closer and lowered his voice and said:
"The cost of a pot of flowers and trees may be in the dozens, but the purchase price can be quoted as two or three hundred! Of course, two or three hundred..."
Xu Chen took a breath and quickly made a silent gesture:
"Dad, it's okay if you know this kind of thing secretly, but don't talk about it outside."
Xu Zhiquan peeled off a prawn and handed it to Xu Chen:
"In short, our family is getting better and better. We are still in the cost investment stage and don't have much cash flow.
After the repayments from several running projects have come down, Dad is ready to change to a better car, an Audi A6 or a Mercedes-Benz E.
If you want to get a few more projects, go directly to A8.
If I pick you up from now on, it will save me a lot of face!
When you go to college, your dad will buy you a car directly!
You took the exam and went to a big city, don't let your classmates look down on people from this town! ”
Xu Chen ate a few shrimps and said:
"Dad, don't buy me a car yet. I suggest you don't buy a car either.
It is better to save as much capital as possible to prepare for the next round of investment. ”
Xu Zhiquan laughed twice:
"The business of this nursery can last for a long time. Each order will make a profit, and you will be able to save some money soon."
Xu Chen poured a glass of coconut juice for his father:
"Dad, you don't really want to work in the nursery forever, do you?"
Xu Zhiquan was stunned for a moment, waiting for Xu Chen to continue.
Xu Chen continued:
"The profit margin of the seedling business is good, and you can continue to do it for several years, but after all, it is hard money and you sell it one by one.
The key is that it is very dependent on relationships, and very dependent on upstream highways and urban construction projects.
Once there are fewer upstream projects or some key relationships are severed, the business will be directly affected.
It is also affected by some natural weather and insect pest accidents...
Of course this is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that I have to nod and bow down, drink and laugh with others, give gifts and say nice things.
Dad, I know you don’t like it..."
Xu Zhiquan stayed silent and lit a cigarette for himself.
He picked up the coconut water and filled a cup for Xu Chen.
