Chapter 309 Family business, all words are doctrines, all hearts are business
Listening to the little brother's analysis, Fang Yan grasped his key point and asked:
"So, you gave them the money you had on you?"
"Hey, third brother, how did you know?" the younger brother asked in surprise.
Fang Yan shook his head and analyzed him:
"Didn't you just say it all? In the final analysis...it's actually that they didn't see the benefits! So you have to prescribe the right medicine."
"Prescribing the right medicine is just giving benefits."
"In addition to giving money, the only benefit is that you stay and work as their labor force. This is obviously impossible, so the only thing I can do is give money."
By now, Fang Yan had basically understood what little brother was thinking.
His strategy is to hand over money with one hand and people with the other.
Buy the eldest sister and her family back with money.
Fang Chen said to Fang Yan:
"Third brother, you are still thinking fast. If it were you who had to handle this matter, you would have brought the person back a long time ago."
"Stop flattering and go on." Fang Yan said angrily.
Fang Chen chuckled and continued:
"At that time, I really planned to give the money directly. Since they had their calculations, I might as well just follow their calculations."
"After all, I did have a lot of royalties with me at the time, so I thought I would just give them to them so that they could see the benefits. Isn't this hundreds of dollars enough to match what my brother-in-law has earned for several years?"
"After this money is given, the family no longer has to worry about their food, which indirectly saves a lot of money."
"But after I told my eldest sister about this, she said no!"
"She said that if the money was given like this, people wouldn't be able to leave."
Fang Yan took over the conversation and said in a very calm tone:
"Because it is so easy to get it, I will continue to ask you for it. As long as you are in the pastoral area, let them control it."
Fang Chen was really surprised now, he said:
"Third brother, can you guess this?"
"It's just human nature." Fang Yan replied lightly.
Fang Chen nodded and continued:
"That's right. At that time, I felt that apart from being a little calculating, my family was actually quite good in other aspects. If I explained things clearly and gave them enough benefits, then it would be done!"
< br>
"The result is just as you said. The eldest sister also said that it was too easy for me to take it out. They will definitely want more."
"Before, I thought that this kind of thing would definitely not happen. After all, when the eldest sister first arrived in the pastoral area and her foot was bitten by a dog, the old lady took care of her selflessly for so long. In general, although she is a bit stingy , Ai is a bit calculating, but his character is still reliable.”
"But the eldest sister emphasized that after so many years of getting along, she has figured out the temper of her parents-in-law, and she must believe her."
"Even if I have to give money, I won't give it in the pastoral area."
Fang Yan nodded and said:
"So what did you do in the end?"
Fang Chen said:
"I told them that I could give them money as if I had paid my brother-in-law's wages in advance and asked him to follow us into the city."
"No matter what happens, the family's income will definitely not decrease."
"And I can directly pay several years' wages, so they won't suffer any loss."
"Then they agreed?" Fang Yan asked.
Fang Chen said with a smile:
"I was still pretending at first, but then I said, if they don't do it, we can just forget about it."
"Then the old couple finally relented and agreed reluctantly."
"Then he asked me, how much salary do I plan to give their family in a year?"
Fang Yan smiled and shook his head. If he went to do this, he would never pay a penny.
Just ask for a transfer order and everything will be solved.
That is to say, Fang Chen likes to do things within the rules, so he does this.
But this is my first time doing something like this, so it’s normal that I’m not that sophisticated.
No matter what, he still used the method he could think of to successfully bring the person back.
The only fault was that the communication was not good, otherwise it would have saved him a lot of money.
At this time, the little brother continued behind Fang Yan:
"After some discussion, we negotiated the price."
"Then I said that I could only give them half first, and the other half would be in the hands of my friends at the train station."
"Let them accompany us out of the pastoral area first and go through the formalities. I will not give them the other half until we get to Baotou Railway Station."
"It's funny to say that I took out the money I had prepared, and they agreed without thinking. It seemed that all their previous persistence was waiting for this moment."
"Then I took them to complete the return procedures, bought the tickets to go home, sent you the telegram, and then paid the money as promised."
Fang Yan asked Fang Chen:
"They didn't go back on their word?"
Fang Chen said:
“I had already left the pastoral area and all the procedures had been completed, so of course I wasn’t so scared.”
"And I was really afraid that they would regret it, so I took the certificate of the Chinese Writers Association in my hand and said that I was an official in the capital."
"They have never seen my little notebook. They only saw the red seal on it and the people who handled the work were polite to me, so they didn't dare to do anything else."
Fang Yan praised his little brother:
"Anyway, you brought my eldest sister and her family back."
"It's a pity that all your royalties have been spent."
Fang Chen felt happy after being praised by Fang Yan.
Although he did feel a little worried about money, he said very generously:
"Hey, it's okay. I still have a monthly subsidy from the Writers' Association, and there is also a subsidy from the Beijing Film Studio. It adds up to a lot."
Fang Yan smiled and said:
"By the way, speaking of which, I have good news for you." "What good news?" Fang Chen asked curiously.
Then he suddenly reacted and asked excitedly:
"Are my novels selling well?"
"Of course... not anymore." Fang Yan replied deliberately.
"Ah?" Fang Chen was a little surprised.
Dialect said to him:
"There are many female doctors like your sister-in-law in Xiehe."
"They are very interested in you, so our mother is going to let you go and have a look. Maybe you will find someone who is right for you."
After hearing this, Fang Chen said with some disappointment:
"It's such a good thing... I thought it was about the novel."
"They don't even know me, why are they so interested in me?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Dialect responded:
"Isn't it because your novels sold so well that people noticed you."
"...Huh?" Fang Chen was startled. After being stunned for a second, he quickly asked:
"Brother, what did you say?"
Fang Yan saw the little brother's face changing in the rearview mirror and said with a smile:
"I said your novels were sold out and sold out, so girls noticed you."
"Sold...out of stock!?" Fang Chen looked in disbelief.
Fang Yan nodded and said:
"Well, all the goods for the week were sold out on the first day, and now "People's Literature" is thinking about printing more."
Fang Chen felt a little unbelievable, and his breathing became a little faster:
"Brother, don't lie to me."
Dialect said:
"It's absolutely true."
After that, he added:
"Oh, by the way, Chen Kaige will come over early tomorrow morning and pick you up to go to "People's Literature". He said he has something to tell you there. I guess it should be a report on sales."< br>
"Then I will probably conduct an exclusive interview with you as a writer. You'd better be mentally prepared, so that when the time comes, your mind will go blank."
After hearing this, Fang Chen finally believed that what the third brother said in dialect was true.
He let out an excited "Ouch" and almost wanted to jump out of the car and run back.
"While you are happy, I will tell you bad news now." Fang Yan said to the excited Fang Chen.
Fang Chen suddenly had a smile on his face, and said to Fang Yan with a sad face:
"Brother, if you have anything to do in the future, can you tell it all at once?"
Dialect said to him:
"Our mother plans to let the eldest sister's husband and his family live in the place where you live after the eldest sister comes back."
"You go to the Beijing Film Studio and live in the dormitory."
Fang Chen opened his mouth and asked:
"That's it?"
Dialect nodded:
"Well, that's it."
Fang Chen patted his chest speechlessly:
"I was shocked. What big deal did I think it was?"
After saying that, he said:
"Anyway, I don't have anything in my house. I'll let them live in it."
Fang Yan said with a smile:
"As long as you have no objection."
Fang Chen said:
"The house belongs to my parents, I don't have any objection to how they arrange it."
Fang Yan didn't expect that the little brother didn't complain at all, so he said:
"Are you quite aware?"
Fang Chen nodded and said:
"No, this time I took a look at my brother-in-law's house. I feel that our house is really good."
"My parents and brothers and sisters don't have so many interests in mind. Even when I came back and ate for so long without paying a penny, my family didn't dislike me and didn't let me use the money to support the family."
"I feel that the feeling of family affection in our family is what a family should have!"
Hearing what Fang Chen said, Fang Yan realized that the several hundred yuan in royalties were well spent.
At least Fang Chen saw a great contrast between his brother-in-law's parents.
Although this course is a bit expensive, it’s not a loss.
At this time, the little brother changed the subject and asked Fang Yan:
"By the way, brother, what kind of job do you think my brother-in-law can do?"
Hearing this, Fang Yan thought of his somewhat honest brother-in-law.
At this time, the little brother continued:
"I came back and discussed this matter with my eldest sister. I really didn't expect what he could do."
"He only has a lot of size and strength. He can't do anything but ride a horse and herd sheep. He's not very well-educated, and he barely knows a few words. If he really has an advantage, he has a good temper."
“But with these advantages, there seems to be really no place to go in the city.”
Fang Yan thought for a while and said to his little brother:
"He can actually try an industry that matches his major."
Fang Chen frowned:
"Is there any industry in the city that matches his profession?"
Dialect said:
"Of course, do you know Ma Yulin, the sheep herding expert?"
