Chapter 369 New Business Opportunities
Upon hearing the word "business opportunity," Pengfei's eyes lit up instantly, and he eagerly placed a piece of eggplant on Lin Dongzhe's plate.
"Say it quickly!"
Lin Dongzhe pointed to the plastic bag containing lunchboxes on the table and lowered his voice. "Selling plastic bags! Buying them in bulk from the wholesale market and then selling them to street vendors."
“Brother, when you came to see Xiaoting last week, I wasn’t there. Actually, I went to Huating Road to stake out the place. There are a lot of clothing vendors there. One person bought five T-shirts at once, but the vendor only gave him one plastic bag. So he spent money to buy four more plastic bags. They don’t sell them in his hometown county. It’s convenient and presentable to use plastic bags to pack clothes as gifts, so they’re sure to sell well!”
These words, like a seed, took root in Pengfei's heart.
He was selling plastic bags, but he never thought that since plastic bags are just becoming popular, the market must be huge.
Tutoring doesn't pay much, so selling plastic bags is definitely something I could try.
Looking at Lin Dongzhe's grinning and smug expression, Tu Nan was furious. His lovely and outstanding younger sister had been completely under his control.
"Lin Dongzhe, you used to sell homework when you were a kid, and now that you're all grown up, you're trying to get my sister to sell plastic bags with you. Is all you think about is making money?"
Pengfei immediately chimed in, "Brother, if you have too much money, why would you be afraid of it getting bitten? I think Dongzhe's suggestion is feasible."
Upon hearing this, Tu Nan reached out to slap Peng Fei on the head.
Pengfei reacted quickly, ducking his head to easily dodge.
"Hey! Why aren't you speaking up for me? Are you even Xiaoting's brother?"
Pengfei chewed his food while speaking eloquently.
"Brother, Xiaoting is my sister, but they're doing well together. I'm just sticking to what's right, not my own family."
Tu Nan was so angry that he shoveled rice into his mouth. Well, they've all grown up and become independent, they don't even listen to him anymore.
Fine, he'll see how much money he can make selling plastic bags!
. . . . . . .
After having dinner, the group strolled around the Bund and some department stores before it got dark.
Lin Dongzhe had originally planned to go see a movie with Xiaoting after lunch, but that plan fell through now. Tu Nan lived nearby, just across the street from Tongji University.
Pengfei followed him back to the dormitory. After all, the two of them spent more time together than with Tu Nan, and Tu Nan was going to see Sister Wanshu when he got back that night.
Xiaoting was very thoughtful; she went to the school store and bought a toothbrush, which she then handed to Lin Dongzhe.
"This is for Pengfei. Don't be angry. After Pengfei leaves tomorrow, I will definitely go to the movies with you."
“You even bought him this toothbrush, is he going to stay here forever? Oh no, I have to have a serious talk with Pengfei.”
She reached out and hooked her fingers around Lin Dongzhe's hand.
Lin Dongzhe's lips unconsciously curled up, and he deliberately turned his head away, only gently stroking Xiaoting's hand with his thumb in response to this sweetness.
As Pengfei walked, he subconsciously looked back and realized that Lin Dongzhe and Xiaoting had fallen far behind. "Xiaoting, Dongzhe, hurry up!"
Hearing the shout, the two quickly released each other. "Coming!"
He jogged after it.
. . . . . . . . .
In the evening in Suzhou, Huang Ling and Song Ying sat on the sofa in the living room, watching the TV series "Dream of the Red Chamber".
Huang Ling skillfully manipulated the knitting needles with both hands, and the two knitted woolen pants together.
Zhuang Chaoying and Lin Gong sat on bamboo chairs, with two cups of hot tea on the table.
“Teacher Zhuang, Quan is also attending the trade fair tomorrow. You can ask him about your matter.” Engineer Lin put down his teacup and turned to look at him.
Zhuang Chaoying nodded. "Engineer Lin, thank you for your help with this."
Lin laughed heartily and gently patted Zhuang Chaoying's shoulder.
"Don't mention it, Teacher Zhuang. Actually, I've been thinking about what you said the other day for a long time, and the more I think about it, the more feasible it seems. My family has also saved some money over the years."
Dongzhe is growing up day by day, and in a few years he will be getting married and will definitely need to have his own house.
Although our yard is spacious, young people have their own ideas and lifestyles. As elders, we need to give them enough space and not interfere in their affairs.
"That's right, that's the principle. Distance makes things better, close proximity makes things worse."
Zhuang Chaoying picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and agreed with what Engineer Lin said.
Song Ying and Engineer Lin went home. After he finished washing up, he sat at his desk, spread out his manuscript paper, and began to conceive his new novel, "Openness."
This work will connect the grand historical changes from the early days of the People's Republic of China to the opening up from the perspective of ordinary people.
Zhuang Chaoying rested her chin on her hand in deep thought, then began to write furiously, first listing out a simple outline.
Thinking about the trade fair she would be attending the next day and not being able to stay up late, Zhuang Chaoying put down her pen, looked at the draft she had just finished writing, which was less than a thousand words long, and put it into the drawer.
Lying in bed, Zhuang Chaoying stretched comfortably.
At this moment, Huang Ling turned around. "Chao Ying, do you think if we buy so many houses, we might end up with nothing? That's no small sum of money, what if something goes wrong..."
Zhuang Chaoying gently stretched out her arm, letting Huang Ling rest her head on it, and gently embraced her.
"No, Ah Ling. Prices haven't risen much yet, so we need to seize this opportunity and act first. Think about it, more and more young people are flocking to the city, and the demand for housing is so high. Opening up the housing market is only a matter of time."
Money in a savings account is just a number; only through proper investment can it realize its value. Stop overthinking it. By the way, Ling, don't laugh at the trade fair tomorrow, you and Song Ying need to be serious.
Huang Ling reached out and gently patted him. "Okay! I'll try my best to control myself. I'm sleepy, go to sleep."
After saying that, she snuggled closer to Zhuang Chaoying, and soon her even breathing could be heard.
Zhuang Chaoying stared at the ceiling, still looking forward to tomorrow's trade fair, and gradually drifted off to sleep.
. . . . . . . .
It was dawn. Huang Ling glanced at the alarm clock and saw it was only 6:30. She quietly got out of bed and told Chao Ying to go back to sleep.
After a quick wash, she hurried out to a breakfast stall and bought Zhuang Chaoying's favorite fried dough sticks and soy milk.
After the meal, Zhuang Chaoying got on his motorcycle and took Huang Ling with him.
Lin Gong rode his motorcycle with Song Ying on the back, and the two families set off one after the other towards the busiest area of Suzhou.
Soon, they arrived at the exhibition venue, which was located not far from Guanqian Street.
The fact that this trade fair could be held here is largely thanks to the strong support of Director Xu of the Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce.
Director Xu approved the vacant land free of charge, aiming to boost Suzhou's economic development through the trade fair.
The event brought together many well-known enterprises in Suzhou, including garment factories, toy factories, Xinsheng Home Appliance Factory, and Weifeng Furniture Factory, showcasing products that covered all aspects of people's daily lives.
Moreover, this trade fair doesn't require admission tickets, so getting one is considered very impressive.
Setting up barriers to increase sales is just asking for trouble.
Factory Director An still had some concerns. "Chao Ying, after all, the trade fairs in Kyoto, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen all require admission tickets. I'm worried that if the Suzhou trade fair doesn't require admission tickets, people might think our products aren't high-end or legitimate."
After hearing this, Zhuang Chaoying waved her hand and explained with a smile.
"People from our country love to join in the fun. As long as we make an announcement, we don't need to do much advertising beforehand. Nowadays, people don't have much leisure or entertainment, so as soon as they hear there's something exciting to see, they'll definitely come on their own. Besides, with the support from above, we published the news of the trade fair in the newspaper a week ago, so there's definitely no problem, Director An."
