Chapter 23: Hanging to dry
Ning Weimin is not a person who has never enjoyed it. In his previous life, he was a frequent visitor to various bathing centers.
But this time, I still felt like I had eaten some foreign food. It was so delicious!
Actually, this is not surprising.
Firstly, he has never had a comfortable hot bath since he traveled through time.
It had been too long since he had enjoyed the relaxation of having his whole body immersed in hot water, and the feeling of his limbs feeling refreshed.
Secondly, in his previous life, when he went to bathing centers, he usually accompanied clients or his peers.
That's just a drunkard's intention, not the wine. Where did he go to take a bath?
Either do health care, play mahjong, or tie gold flowers...
The purpose is to join forces with others and bring each other into a relationship in a corrupt and depraved way, so as to pave the way for business.
So in most cases, they can't stay in the pool for a while and then go out together.
I have never concentrated on soaking in place.
The difference in time is the difference in heat. Is it the same to soak in water for a few hours?
Thirdly, he went to take a bath, and it was purely a blind soak.
He simply thought that taking a bath could help lose weight and relieve fatigue, but he didn't even understand the principle of "don't shave your head when you are full, and don't take a bath when you are hungry".
So I usually go there after a day of business.
Sometimes I drink a lot of wine because of social activities, but I don’t eat much serious food in my stomach.
I didn’t know that taking a bath is a laborious activity that requires people to be energetic, eat and drink enough.
This is just adding up.
I even occasionally felt "fainted" several times.
To put it bluntly, the reason why he was able to drink himself and travel through time was probably because of this lifestyle that didn't care about health.
In short, Ning Weimin and Kang Shude soaked comfortably for an hour.
The master and apprentice soaked the sludge off their bodies and then took a soap shower.
I feel like the skin and flesh on my body have become looser and my blood vessels are completely smooth.
Then he walked outside, put on a bath towel, leaned on the bed, and stretched out his legs to dry.
It's not just that it's dry. The tea has been left to dry for a long time and it's just warm. Pour a cup for each.
Then I took out the fried butter cake from "Fengfenggong", opened it, drank tea, and chatted while eating.
Giving it to Ning Weimin, he stuffed his mouth with food and hesitantly praised it.
"The bath I took today is so relaxing. No wonder I always heard you say that taking a bath in the bathhouse for a day is like being a living god. I understand now, and this is indeed true."< br>
Kang Shude rubbed his red face with his hands and grinned.
"Is he now a god? Well, according to what you said, he is a god."
Ning Weimin knew that the old man was teasing him.
But he was quite thick-skinned. Not only did he not mind at all, but he actually behaved himself.
"Old man, don't laugh at me. I admit that I just don't know anything. I also know that it's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen any good things. So, from now on, I have to rely on you. I still have to rely on you. You need to take me to such good places to see the world. Otherwise, I will be embarrassed and laughed at. You don’t look good, tell me, whose disciple am I?” >"Hey, don't dislike me. I can't compare to the people from Tsinghua University who love bathing, and the people from Peking University all know how to take pictures. But I have summed up the three elements of success in life. As long as you can do it well, your future is limitless. 1. Persistence, secondly, shamelessness, thirdly, persistence and shamelessness. It’s a coincidence that Ning has three strengths in his life. One is eating noodles with soybean paste, the other is being thick-skinned, and the third is being good at learning from one example and drawing inferences about other cases..." The more he talked, the more he went out of his way. The old man couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, so he quickly asked him to stop.
"Okay, okay, what you are best at is your poor mouth. I find that you should talk about cross talk. You don't even need to learn it. You are naturally proficient in singing and singing."
Follow He straightened up and leaned on the bed and took a sip of tea.
"Stop teasing me, let's talk about some serious things while we are quiet now."
"I have to go to work in two days. From now on. This shift lasts twelve hours, alternating between morning and evening. It is inevitable that you will be left alone at home.”
"So I have something to say. If I don't tell you, I'd be really worried."
The words and the look in his eyes immediately made Ning Weimin's heart tremble.
He straightened up and chewed the butter fried cake in two mouthfuls, losing his playful smile.
"Master, if you have anything to say, just give it, I'm listening."
Kang Shude picked up the tea cup, took a sip first, and then nodded.
"Light the lamp in the vat, and shine the light inside but not the outside. Then I'll tell you the truth."
"You have been doing a good job in the garbage dump. You have made a lot of money by replacing copper, fixing watches, etc." Earn it. And the money you earned is still used to buy stamps and hide them in that small box."
"I see that you get seventeen or eight stamps every day. I guess you have about two hundred pieces in your hand. That’s more than a thousand dollars, so I want to ask you what you plan to do now.” How much is enough? And the business in the eastern suburbs garbage dump, have you ever thought about when you should give up?"
Ning Weimin was stunned at first.
He took a breath and thought for a while before answering.
"Old man, let me tell you this, I just don't have any money. If I have money, I want as much as the eight-cent monkey. For this thing, I am Han Xin Dianbing , the more the better. As long as I can buy it if I have the money, I won’t give up until I can’t see it on the market.”
“But this is the case. Son, you don’t have to worry about me. Haven’t I told you repeatedly that this kind of stamp is no different than others, with a small circulation, exquisite production, and it is the first zodiac stamp. It will definitely appreciate in value, and it will rise very quickly. I guarantee that I can easily make a lot of money from this in the future.”
“Even if you don’t believe me, let’s take a step back and say that stamps are issued by the state and have face value. No matter what, it's still eight cents for him to keep it, right? As long as the Post and Telecommunications Department recognizes it, I won't lose money. So don't worry and wait for me to send it out every day. Be a god here."
"As for the garbage dump in the east suburbs, I don't understand what you mean. Why should I give up now? Is this more profitable? I still hope to make money and buy more monkey tickets.”
As if he had expected Ning Weimin's reaction, Kang Shude sighed and put down the teacup.
"I knew you would say that. What I'm afraid of is that you are too greedy and don't know when to stop."
When Ning Weimin heard that something was wrong, he naturally became confused.
"Master, you...mean...you think I am too greedy?"
Unexpectedly, Kang Shude shook his head.
"I can't say that. Who in business is not greedy? It is the nature of a businessman to pursue profit. I don't think there is anything wrong with being ambitious. I'm just afraid that you don't know the depth. I think you can only eat two worms. If you insist on eating ten kilograms of pancakes, your appetite will be too big and it will easily hurt your stomach."
"Let me tell you this. The eight-cent monkey you mentioned is not good. I can’t figure it out. But one thing is clear to me: you make money just to buy stamps, and you save stamps to make more money by selling them at a higher price in the future.”
“You just got it right. You want to stock up on rare things. You also want to do your best to make these stamps rare and valuable. To put it bluntly, you are willing to do business at the expense of time and money. ”
"As for whether you can do this, I can't say. I don't understand it, and I can't see through it. But I can let you do it. Because in addition to appreciating your kid's courage to be a newborn calf and not afraid of tigers, I also I think you have considered it very carefully. As you said, no matter what happens, the stamps in your hand are still valuable, right?”
“In fact, this is the most important principle in doing business. When you start a business, You have to figure out how to take cover, how to get out, and prepare for the worst possible situation before you can get started, because making money is often quick and easy based on an idea. On the other hand, it is also quick and easy to lose money when something goes wrong. If you don’t want to find a way out, you won’t get any good results.”
"But you are just worried about the garbage dump in the eastern suburbs, but you don't seem to have given it much thought. Have you thought about this matter, how to get out of it unscathed, and what to do if something goes wrong? People and money die for food. Death, the old saying is true, we have to be more careful.”
“No one can say anything if you make some hard money in the past, but once you make more, it may not be the case. What should you do if you mess up? If you do so much money every day, will it make people suspicious? Will you make others jealous? You can't just play with it for a while..."
