Luo Yuzhu wiped the oil from the corner of Wang Xu's mouth with a smile: "Wang Yan, where do you stock your goods from?"

"Pengcheng. That's the frontline of reform, isn't it? There is more foreign capital, and the products produced are more popular. Just like the fashionable clothes and electronic products I stocked up on this time, you've seen what they are like."

"I was wondering. They all look quite fresh. I thought you would go to Hongdu to stock up on some calendars or something to sell. I really didn't expect you to go directly to Shenzhen."

Wang Yan picked up a chopstick of vegetables: "Hey, I heard it from someone when I got there. I had enough money in my hands, so I just went directly. I didn't expect that it wouldn't be hard to sell after bringing them back. Haha..."

"What's the next step? What do you plan to do?"

Luo Yuzhu already had an idea in her heart. This was a probe; she wanted to see if Wang Yan had the ability. She had been through many storms over the years. Although she had only done small business, from small things one could see the big picture, and the principles were the same to a certain extent. She had vision.

"Of course, it's to earn money to open a factory and do it ourselves. Whether it's clothing, hats, department store items, or electronic products, we must create our own brand, step by step from raw materials, to technological iteration and innovation, to processing and production, and then to frontline stores, a one-stop shop," Wang Yan said without thinking.

Practical work rejuvenates the country, and industry rejuvenates the country. After experiencing so much, he felt more and more that these words were correct, and he became more and more fond of industry. Once it reached a certain level, he wouldn't even need Western society to sanction him; he would do it himself.

Born in peace, living in peace, has the war stopped? It doesn't necessarily mean planes and cannons have to bomb everything. War is a continuation of politics and serves it. Political games have never stopped. Cultural wars, economic and trade wars, etc., have been continuing. And in the midst of this, he, Wang the person, can play a big role. If there's nothing to do, just do it.

This is also why he is doing business. Otherwise, with his temperament, he would have enjoyed everything he should have enjoyed long ago. Why worry about that? If there's nothing to do, find a place to stay, quietly drink tea, read books, write calligraphy, isn't that good?

How could Luo Yuzhu know that Wang Yan thought so much? She just heard that simple sentence and imagined what it would be like if it were achieved.

Coming back to her senses, she didn't think Wang Yan was bragging or having wild fantasies. Having a clear direction and working hard for it is good, and this direction is not wrong and is feasible. But saying it is simple, the process must be extremely difficult.

Nodding, Luo Yuzhu said: "Although it's a bit big, the old saying goes, nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets their mind to it. Just keep doing it."

No one is truly content with poverty. If there is, there are only two kinds. One is that they have been rich, enjoyed it, and seen through it, like Wang Yan today. The other is that they don't have the ability, no matter what they do, they can't get ahead or get into a position, so they comfort themselves, like Wang Yan in the past.

Wang Dashan also had a picture in his mind. Although Wang Yan said it simply and he had little experience, he could understand the general idea by comparing it with the railway. If there really was such a day, it would definitely be more majestic than the big leaders of their railway section.

Shaking his head, Wang Dashan drank a large mouthful of wine to calm down. He didn't dare to think about it anymore; his heart was really growing grass.

Drinking a bit too fast, he coughed twice and changed the subject: "By the way, Wang Yan, you don't know, Zhao Jiaqing and Zhang Jun have both lost their houses. Not only that, I heard they owe a lot of debt. Zhao Jiaqing's wife is arguing with him about divorce. Everyone has been discussing this recently."

Seeing him stop talking, Wang Yan knew he felt that he had gone too far. Wang Yan didn't lecture them. Such things must have been discussed by the couple in bed, and Luo Yuzhu should have told Wang Dashan what happened. Why should he do something unnecessary? Besides, lecturing someone who hasn't experienced it and is trapped in their own self about principles they don't agree with is just a joke.

Wang Yan raised a glass of wine: "They brought it on themselves, there's nothing to say. Come, drink and eat, it won't be good if it gets cold."

Helplessly clinking glasses with Wang Yan, Wang Dashan didn't say anything more and turned to talk about the trivialities of life...

Watching Wang Dashan's family of three walk away, Wang Yan strolled towards the shop accompanied by the streetlights. He didn't go home; he was alone everywhere. There was a place upstairs in the shop, so he could just make do for the night.

The province with the most founding generals is Jiangxi, and three of the generals among them are from Qiancheng, the city with the largest area and the largest population in Jiangxi. Therefore, the red gene of Qiancheng is quite strong.

Wang Yan has rich experience and no problem with adapting. He plans to settle his hometown here. Development is the same everywhere. Other factors may have an impact, but it is definitely not big.

Looking at the slightly old buildings on both sides, he sighed at the real impact of the country's policies on people's livelihood. He had been thinking about taking a good look before, but now that he is a small boss, he is really too busy and has no time to go out for a stroll. He can only wait until the future, when the business is done and he is a hands-off boss.

In the cozy little house by the railway, Luo Yuzhu tucked in the quilt for the sleeping Wang Xu and sat by the bed watching TV with Wang Dashan as usual.

Rich entertainment life really affects important matters. This TV watching is quite exhausting, and they are old married couples, so they don't have the heart for that. And since buying the TV, the frequency of the couple has dropped rapidly.

Wang Dashan cracked a melon seed, looked at Luo Yuzhu, who was staring at the TV with concentration, and hesitated for a moment: "What do you think of what Wang Yan said?"

Luo Yuzhu didn't even look at him and said absentmindedly: "It's quite good. Didn't you hear it? He earns over a hundred a day. This is only half a month, and I'm afraid it will be more in the future."

"Oh my, what I said... what I said is not this," Wang Dashan waved his hand directly. Although people are old and cunning, horses are old and slippery, it is not entirely true. It has a certain relationship with age, but more because of life experience. By comparison, Wang Dashan is far behind.

As Luo Yuzhu's mouth curled up with the victory in her grasp, she heard Wang Dashan continue: "It's the matter of Wang Yan asking me to resign... resign and work with him... work with him." After all, he had obstructed it in every possible way before, so he felt guilty. These words were somewhat unsmooth.

"Wang Dashan, you didn't even let me go into the city to do business before. Why are you thinking about this now? What about our son? He can't be left alone."

"Isn't this... isn't this because I see Wang Yan earning so much, and I'm greedy? If we really follow what he said, we will definitely be able to earn big money, and you and our son will be able to live a good life sooner." He had been thinking about it all the way. At this point, Wang Dashan didn't care about her teasing anymore. They were old married couples, and they knew each other's depths. He made up his mind and said: "The child's matter is not a big problem. Let's rent a house and move into the city. We will be in the shop every day and can watch our son. Besides, he will be going to school in two years. The conditions in the city are always better than here."

These words made Luo Yuzhu want to give him two slaps. You have been repeating the same words for so many years, and now there are no problems... She rolled her eyes and said: "Have you thought it through?"

Wang Dashan nodded: "I've thought it through, for you and our son!!! I want you and our son to live a good life. This time, if there is an opportunity, I must grasp it. Besides, I am at ease with Wang Yan."

He was stimulated by Wang Yan counting money, plus Luo Yuzhu muttered a few words from time to time. Now that he saw the benefits with his own eyes, it was normal for him to be red-eyed.

People have this problem: they want to get rich but don't have the courage. Only after seeing others earn it do they think about following up, and they will subconsciously ignore the risks. If Wang Yan fails this time, with Wang Dashan's character, it will definitely be a case of once bitten, twice shy, and he won't have the determination to come out and do business for the rest of his life.

"Hey, it's just that I've worked on the railway for so many years, and the foreman was about to promote me. I feel a bit sorry for him."

Luo Yuzhu glared at him: "Alright, stop thinking so much. That foreman of yours is not a good thing. Have you forgotten what your coworkers said? Zhao Jiaqing and Zhang Jun's houses fell into his hands."

"......... No matter what, the foreman has been quite good to me for so many years... Alright, stop talking. I'll resign tomorrow. You take out all our family savings and give them to Wang Yan to stock up on goods. Just leave some for living. It's just that I don't know anything, and I don't understand..."

Wang Dashan is an honest man. He is a bit simple, but he is not stupid, and he has his own calculations.

It's not that he hasn't thought about what he can do, but his ability is probably useless. But having been with Luo Yuzhu for so many years, as far as he knows, she is absolutely capable. And she has a past that she subconsciously boasts about but is unwilling to mention, which is definitely stronger than him. With Luo Yuzhu and Wang Yan together, he can do what he can, learn, and suffer a bit, and there will be no problem.

Finally able to go out and show his skills, Luo Yuzhu smiled happily: "It's okay, you don't have to worry. If you don't know, you can learn. Doing business is not difficult. You will know in the future. Besides, isn't there me?"

As she spoke, she leaned on Wang Dashan's shoulder: "We will definitely live a good life..."

Having made such a big determination and fulfilled Luo Yuzhu's long-standing worries, Wang Dashan grinned, reached out and pulled Luo Yuzhu into his arms: "When we earn money in the future, we will buy a big house in the city, just buy that one called... villa? Right, just a villa........."

The two watched TV, Wang Dashan imagined the beautiful life in the future, and Luo Yuzhu responded with a light smile. Just like this, they talked for a long time...

The next day, Wang Dashan went to find the foreman to resign when he went to work.

The foreman pretended to care and tried to persuade him to stay. After hearing that he was going out to do business with Wang Yan, he approved it on the spot very readily.

Originally, he was relatively dull and had no friends. Compared with Wang Yan, he really didn't make any waves, and no one cared about his life or death.

It was Zhao Jiaqing and the others who knew he wasn't doing it and asked the foreman. Learning that Wang Yan had earned money doing business and Wang Dashan had followed him to get rich, they looked at each other in silence. The capital for Wang Yan's business was all their hard-earned money, their true hard-earned money. Now thinking about it, their bodies still hurt. Although they hated him to the bone, they only dared to scold him behind his back to vent their anger. Even if they were given eight more guts, they wouldn't dare to provoke Wang Yan.

After being busy for a while, the shop became quiet. Wang Yan poured a few cups of water and handed them to the family of three sitting on the side: "Decided?"

Wang Dashan took the water and nodded: "I'm working with you. I already resigned this morning."

Walking to the cabinet on the side, Wang Yan took a folder, opened it, took out the documents inside, and a box of inkpad, and handed them to Wang Dashan: "This is a contract I asked someone to draft. Take a look, if there is no problem, sign it."

Looking at Wang Yan strangely, Wang Dashan took the contract, and Luo Yuzhu, who was holding the child, looked at it head to head.

After a while, Wang Dashan and Luo Yuzhu looked at each other, turned their heads and said: "Wang Yan, this is not appropriate. You took so much money, and you still want to split it equally with me, this..."

Waving his hand, Wang Yan interrupted his words: "We are brothers, why care about so much? If there is something to discuss, it can be solved. If I give it to you, you take it. Besides, I won't hide it from you. After we get through the initial stage and have our own factory and develop well, apart from some suggestions, I won't care about it. I'll just wait for the dividends. By then, it will depend on the two of you to manage it. These are all as it should be."

Seeing that the two were full of incomprehension, Wang Yan explained: "It's not like you don't know me. I like reading books and drinking tea when I have nothing to do. Coming out to do business is also a coincidence, just in time for having money in my hands. If I earn more money in the future and have no worries about life, I think it's better to be comfortable. So don't have any burden. You two will be busy in the future."

Seeing that Wang Yan spoke sincerely, Wang Dashan didn't say anything. He was also an honest man. He picked up a pen, signed his name, and pressed his fingerprint. Since Wang Yan trusted their couple so much, it would be hypocritical for him to say anything useless. It's better to look at the actions in the future.

Wang Yan nodded with a smile and raised his water cup: "That's right. Come, let's use water instead of wine to wish us a big fortune."

He never trusted people easily, although the two of them looked okay now. But wealth moves people's hearts, and there are many lessons from the past. People will change, and no one can say what will happen in the future. Just wait and see...

"Make a big fortune!"

"Make a big fortune!"

The couple raised their glasses with full faces of smiles and clinked glasses with Wang Yan, drinking the water in the glasses in one gulp.

"Except for daily expenses, this is all our savings. I'll give it all to you, take it and stock up on more goods." Putting down the water cup, Luo Yuzhu took out a stack of money wrapped in a plastic bag from the bag she was carrying and handed it over. Seeing Wang Yan take it and count the money, Wang Dashan thought for a moment and said: "You take this money first. Later, I will sell the house at home..." After speaking, Wang Dashan tried his best not to look at Luo Yuzhu.

Looking at Luo Yuzhu, who was looking at Wang Dashan with surprise, Wang Yan shook his head: "No need, this money is enough. Besides, your house can't be sold for a high price. It's not bad, keep it. Just be steady, you don't know what kind of person I am?"

Patting Wang Dashan on the shoulder, Wang Yan sorted out the contract and handed a copy to Luo Yuzhu: "Let's go, let's go eat to celebrate. There won't be such a relaxed time in the future."

"But it's still early, closing the door..."

Wang Dashan signed the contract, and his sense of ownership came up. This delay was all money.

Patting Wang Dashan, Luo Yuzhu said: "Don't be in a hurry. You will have plenty of time to be busy in the future. Let's go eat first, discuss how to do it specifically, and plan well."

"Hey, that's right. Let's go. Let's do it like this today. It doesn't matter if it's a day or two."

As he spoke, Wang Yan pulled the reluctant Wang Dashan and pushed him out.
