Chapter 42 Isn’t it too easy to make money?
Generally speaking, Li Xiang's home is located at the west end of the village, which is the outermost area and is not part of the "core area". People generally don't come here to visit. It's a little far away, and the old people are old and tired from walking.
But today, several elderly people, both men and women, came to visit together.
As the saying goes, people don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Grandma Li Xiang was a little surprised. She quickly invited a few people to sit down and took out fried chestnuts, some melon seeds, candies, small pastries, etc. bought by Li Xiang to entertain everyone.
After a brief exchange of greetings and a few familiar words, the old people revealed their intentions.
It turned out that they wanted Grandma Li Xiang to persuade her grandson to maintain the fine tradition of diligence and thrift left by their ancestors and not to spend money lavishly.
Although the money belonged to Li Xiang and not theirs, as elders, they couldn't stand it.
It's for Li Xiang's good.
"Sister, you have to talk to Xiangyou carefully. He is quite old now. It's time to save some money to marry a wife." An old man with silver hair and the same generation as Grandma Li Xiang, but a few years older said.
Another slightly younger aunt echoed: "Yes, Auntie, Li Xiang will have a lot of money when he gets married and has children. If he doesn't save money now, what will he do in the future? We are also worried about him, so we came here to give him a check." I suggest, Auntie, don’t mind.”
Several other people also said something to each other, but Grandma Li Xiang had to smile bitterly, spread her hands and said, "Xiang'er has grown up. He has his own ideas and may not listen to me, an old woman."
"Besides, he can also make money. I just let him." Grandma Li Xiang hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but tell her about how Li Xiang made a little money selling mushrooms and nine-steamed and nine-dried polygonatum japonica.
"What? I've made almost 100,000 yuan? Is it true?"
The old people were stunned, thinking that Li Xiang was silent before, but now he is making money by selling things?
Still making so much?
Everyone thought that Li Xiang was sitting on his hands and spending the money he had saved from working in the city.
In fact, Li Xiang worked very hard in a big city. After working for two years, he still couldn't save as much as he did in two months after returning.
The old people are old and don't know much about online selling. They only know that Li Xiang is thinking about it, but he hasn't started doing it yet. After all, I just started doing this not long ago, how can it be so fast?
"Well...it's a good thing to make money, but you should save some money. You can't just spend as much as you earn. If you spend it all, how will you marry a wife in the future."
"We are still canvassing for him to see if there is a suitable partner. If he can save more money, we will praise him more when we are matchmaking, and we will have more confidence."
Grandma Li Xiang heard the same thing, so she quickly smiled and said: "When he comes back, I will teach him a lesson. I hope you can help me more and worry about marrying a wife."
"That's for sure. Li Xiang has gone to college after all. At least he needs to find someone who graduated from high school."
"In my opinion, it doesn't matter if you haven't read a book. The main thing is that people are virtuous and easy to have children." An old man suggested.
"I think the second daughter of Leihu's family in Leijiagou is very good. One day I will help match the strings and let the dolls meet. Maybe it will be done right away?"
Although nine-year compulsory education is now available, there are still many students who cannot learn and drop out of school. For example, there was a girl in their village. She had just been in the first grade of junior high school for a few days, but she decided not to go there, even to the death. The family had no choice but to wait until she was a little older, and then take her to work in a developed area.
"There are still two or three months before the Chinese New Year, and many girls have not come back. The blind date will probably have to wait."
Everyone was chatting with each other. Suddenly, a very luxurious car slowly drove over and stopped not far from the door. The driver, who was wearing sunglasses and had a sturdy build, got out of the car, opened the back door, and invited the boss out.
The big boss was a bearded man, covered in jewels, holding a briefcase. He looked to be in his early forties, strode over, and asked loudly: "Old people, are Li Xiang's family here?"< br>
Everyone was stunned, looking for Li Xiang?
Grandma Li Xiang stood up quickly and said: "It's Li Xiang's house. He went to dig bamboo shoots in the back mountain and hasn't come back yet."
"It's okay, I'll wait for him here. You old man is..." The bearded man was quite polite, even though his appearance and clothing made him feel like "a stranger is incompatible with a poor man".
"I'm his grandma. What do you want to see him for?" Li Xiang's grandma asked.
"Ah, it turns out to be grandma. Hello, hello! It's okay. I'm a coffee seller in Dian Province. I have a big farm and a new hotel. I happened to be on a business trip in Chengdu, so I came to visit him. , by the way, let’s talk about advertising cooperation.”
"Advertising cooperation?"
As soon as these words came out, not only grandma was stunned, but also the other elderly people in the village who were present looked at each other.
"What kind of advertisement is this? Can Li Xiang advertise?" an old man asked.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The bearded man took out his cigarettes, gave one to each of the uncles present, and said with a hearty smile: "That's not true. Brother Li Xiang is now making short videos that are impressive, and he has a considerable number of fans. The most important thing is that I am very optimistic about it. He feels that he will definitely achieve great things in the future.”
"Oh."
"Then what kind of advertising? How much does it cost?"
"I will insert an advertisement in the short video to introduce my coffee brand and the newly opened resort hotel. The advertisement time is not long, about one minute. As for the cost, I negotiated with Li Xiang yesterday, and the two Sixteen thousand articles.”
"Sixteen thousand? That much?" the old people were dumbfounded. At the same time, I was a little embarrassed. I was still saying that Li Xiang was extravagant and didn't know how to save. What if he was sitting on nothing and running out of money?
Later, Grandma Li Xiang said that Li Xiang had made money, nearly 100,000, but everyone didn't quite believe it. They thought it was Grandma Li Xiang who was bragging and deliberately exaggerating the number. Who would have thought, it turned out to be 16,000!
It seems that the one hundred thousand is real.
Is it too easy to make money? Do you think that the 10,000 yuan spent on filming a short drama was not nonsense, but was worth the money? Are you really doing business?
In this day and age, we old guys are becoming increasingly incomprehensible.
"It's not much." The bearded man smiled and said to himself that this is only a few dollars, and I have more than this amount of cash in my bag.
Although it is now common to transfer money via mobile phone, cash is still necessary in many cases. For example...giving gifts.
Moreover, you usually carry a little extra cash and throw it out knife after knife at critical moments, which is unique.
"Quick, quick, quick, aunt, call Li Xiang back quickly. Does he have a mobile phone? Why don't I give him a call!" An aunt present was very anxious. The big boss was waiting here and she didn't hurry back to discuss business. , what if it turns yellow?
