Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 868, Who is Xiaoxue?
In the evening, Wu Gang talked about wire rods.

"The price of wire rod is changing every day. The ex-factory price was 680 yuan per ton, but now it's already over 900. Second brother, should we stock up on a batch?"

Yang Xiaole shook his head upon hearing this.

He naturally knew about this.

The steel industry has experienced many booms and busts throughout its history.

The earliest instance was naturally this price breakthrough, where the price jumped from over 600 yuan per ton to 2400 yuan per ton.

Many people have made a fortune from this.

Later, arrests were made everywhere, and the number eventually dropped to around 1500.

The second time was in 92, the year the economy was fully liberalized, when the price surged to nearly 4000 yuan per ton.

That time it was a soft landing, gradually decreasing until 97.

Around 99, when the mainland real estate market was booming, prices skyrocketed again.

He then said, "If you set up a company, you can stock up on a batch of goods in advance, but there's no need for that now. Do you think the higher-ups won't notice the problem? Someone will step in later. It's pointless to stock up on too little, and if you stock up on too much, you'll lose everything when they find out. Don't touch this stuff."

If it's purchased in the company's name and then used for the construction company, that's acceptable.

Cost savings.

But if you're just reselling small amounts of meat and taking risks, it's really not worth it.

He would rather use that time to instruct the other party to resell treasury bonds.

Yang Baiwan went to Hefei this year to resell treasury bonds and made more than a million yuan.

This is also a quick way to make money.

Wu Gang seemed to understand after hearing this, then nodded slightly: "Okay, I understand."

The group then chatted idly there.

After finishing their meal, the two left.

……

After everyone left, Yang Xiaole waited until her mother had cleaned up the food before coming over to watch TV.

He then spoke up, saying, "Mom, go to the Beijing Hotel tomorrow to see your wife! She's due to give birth in a month."

"Oh, who is it! Sweetie or Quiet?"

"Neither of those, it's Tongtong!"

Yang Xiaole smiled sheepishly.

These words stunned everyone in the room, even Sun Wukong stopped looking.

"Huh? Who did you say?"

Wang Qiuju felt she had misheard and asked again.

"Tongtong, Huang Xintong, is another person in charge in Hong Kong Island."

After hearing this, Wang Qiuju stopped eating sunflower seeds.

He paused for a moment, then started grumbling: "My God, what a nuisance you are, what kind of things have you done!"

Then, changing the subject, he asked, "Where is she from? What's her family situation?"

"She's from Guangdong. She went to Hong Kong Island during the three years of natural disasters and now works for my company, handling some of the business..."

"What a terrible thing you've done! You little rascal, what a terrible thing you've done!"

Wang Qiuju was complaining there.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "I'm leaving now, I'm not talking to you anymore!"

"Hey, where are you going! I haven't finished talking yet!"

Go find your wife!

"Go to Tongtong's place?"

"No, Xiaoxue!"

After saying that, he grabbed his things, closed the door, and ran away.

"Hey, who is Xiaoxue?"

Wang Qiuju's mind was in complete disarray.

Turning to Yang Guangzhi beside him, he asked, "Did I hear that right? He said 'Xiaoxue' at the end? Who is Xiaoxue?"

Yang Guangzhi shrugged: "You're asking me? How would I know?"

Wang Qiuju sat there, looking worried: "Look at your son, he brought back a whole string of them! What are we going to do?"

After saying that, he looked at the calm Yang Guangzhi with suspicion: "What's wrong? You want to find one too?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Guangzhi glanced at him and immediately stood up: "You're crazy!"

He went into the inner room with his hands behind his back.

……

After Yang Xiaole came out, he drove straight to the hotel.

Feng Xue should have arrived by now.

really.

When he arrived at the destination, Feng Xue had already taken a shower and was lying in bed.

Yang Xiaole walked in and laughed, "You're here so early! You really think I'm a stud pig?"

This made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Feng Xue rolled her eyes.

He patted the bed and said, "I have something to tell you."

"Oh what's wrong?"

Yang Xiaole walked over and sat down.

Feng Xue pulled him, wrapped her arms around his waist, and buried her head in his waist.

He said, "I've taken a leave of absence with pay today and am planning to go to Shenzhen."

Yang Xiaole was surprised: "Huh? You're on leave with pay? Will your dad agree to that?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Xue said, "If we can't have a wedding, what if I get pregnant? My parents will be embarrassed! I'll go to Shenzhen, give birth, and then come back. I'll just say I found a boyfriend there."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole pondered for a moment.

I sighed inwardly.

"I'm sorry for you!"

"You know it too!"

Feng Xue rolled her eyes at him.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole asked, "Have you thought about what you would do in Shenzhen?"

"I haven't decided yet!"

"So, do you have any ideas?"

Feng Xue closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment, saying softly, "I don't know either. All I can do is sing and dance, I can't do anything else. I don't know what I would do if I went there! But video stores are doing pretty well now, I'm planning to open one there."

Yang Xiaole pondered upon hearing this.

In fact, several years have passed since the reform and opening up, and many people do not not want to leave their secure jobs, but rather do not know what they can do after leaving them.

First, they don't know what to do; second, they're afraid of losing money in business and don't understand how to do business.

Just like their own parents, they have a lot of money, but they are still somewhat resistant to doing business.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about this, you don't have to go to Shenzhen. Just stay in Beijing. Your parents won't feel at ease if it's too far away. I'll find you a shop where you can sell home appliances."

Huang, the future owner of Gome, should already have opened an appliance store in Beijing.

You could let her start with this.

Selling home appliances? I don't know how to do that!

"You don't know how to do anything else either! If you really have a child, have your mom take care of it for you, and then you can continue doing your own thing, right?"

He can give the other party a lot of money.

But it's not suitable.

Anyone else is fine, but Feng Xue is not.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with it, but rather because of Feng Guanhua.

Someone will investigate.

He then added, "If you're selling home appliances, I can find someone to help with moving and delivery! You don't need to do it yourself! You don't need to worry about the supply."

He owns many home appliance brands, covering a wide range of products.

And they can offer the lowest price.

If it really develops, then it will involve business planning, which is another matter.

I gave a brief explanation of the situation.

Feng Xue pondered for a moment upon hearing this, and finally nodded gently: "Sure! But I don't understand anything right now!"

"If you don't understand, you'll learn slowly. You don't need to earn much money in the first few years."

Feng Xue is really going to have a baby, and she really doesn't have much time left.

Anyway, it's still a few years before everyone goes into business.

There's no rush. No, that's not right.

I should say I'm never in a hurry.

With him around, even if it's just selling a pile of poop, he can attract thousands of people to line up and buy it.

Feng Xue thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll open a record store first, and sell home appliances at the same time. What do you think?"

"Sure! I'll give you some money so you can source the goods, and I'll help you with the distribution channels."

"do not want!"

Feng Xue bowed her head, refusing his request.

"Why? Don't worry, I won't give you much. Just enough to get your shop up and running. Without any money, how can you open a shop? Do you even know how much a good set of speakers costs?"

He planned to give less, not too much.

"No, I've earned quite a bit of money over the years. My parents give me some, and that's enough for me. I'll drive a smaller car and then I'll take care of my parents in their old age."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole pondered for a moment.

Old Feng's salary used to be quite high!

I've already made up for a lot, so I should be able to come up with tens of thousands of yuan on hand.

He laughed and said, "Alright, but there are two things you have to do. First, I'll find you a place, and you won't have to pay the rent. Second, you can sell the goods first and then pay, no deposit required. If the goods don't sell, you can return them as you like. Is that okay?"

Feng Xue laughed upon hearing this: "What's the difference between this and giving me money?"

"How can that be the same? Selling goods first and paying later, that happens all the time, go ask around! It's not like we're not charging you."

Didn't Lao Ren do the same thing last time?
However, the other party has a company backing him, and he trusts Lao Ren a lot.

Besides, the company will definitely have many such operations in mainland China.

Feng Xue thought for a moment.

Yup!

It's not like she's not giving money; of course, she knows this is a form of favor.

He then agreed: "Okay!"

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Okay, it's settled then! I'll pack everything up tomorrow and take you to complete the formalities. I'll also arrange an apartment for you nearby. I'll be helping my dad with the supermarket these next few days, and I'll take care of your matter at the same time."

After hearing this, Feng Xue thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll go tomorrow."

After saying that, he beckoned with his hand: "First, hand over the grain tax."

Yang Xiaole's mind went blank upon hearing this.

"You're amazing now! Your injury from yesterday is healed?"

"Hehe, all done!"

……

The next day, Yang Xiaole woke up from her sleep, and the two had breakfast nearby before Yang Xiaole left.

When I got home in the morning, the two little ones were watching TV.

"Dad, you never come home, where are you?"

Seeing him return, Xingxing asked him curiously.

"Oh, your grandpa is going to open a supermarket. I've been busy with some things with my friend these past few days."

He didn't want the two little ones to tell Qu Ying what had happened.

Neither of them had much life experience.

Hearing this, he gave a soft "oh" and then continued watching TV.

Yang Xiaole glanced at it and saw that it was still Journey to the West playing. Once the holidays arrive, Journey to the West dominates the charts.

Not to mention now, even in the 1990s, close to the year 2000, it was still the same.

In his past life, he grew up watching Journey to the West.

They ignored the two of them.

"Don't wander around at home, I'm going to Grandpa's! You guys take care of your own lunch. If you're not sure, just grab something at a restaurant outside."

"Okay, I got it. We'll eat by ourselves for lunch!"

The two answered without turning their heads.

Yang Xiaole left after seeing this.

When I got home, Dad was already ready.

Yang Xiaole took the other person for another stroll in the market, letting him learn on his own.

At noon, Yang Xiaole drove to pick up his mother and they went to the Beijing Hotel together.

On the way, my mother naturally kept nagging me.

When the group arrived at their destination, Huang Xintong was already waiting there.

"Dad, Mom, this is Huang Xintong. You can just call her Tongtong. Tongtong, call Dad and Mom!"

After Yang Xiaole came in, to avoid awkwardness, he naturally introduced himself first.

Huang Xintong was a little embarrassed, but as a business tycoon, she quickly recovered.

She called out sweetly, "Dad, Mom!"

Wang Qiuju looked her up and down. She chuckled and said, "Oh, you're a good girl. Come on, sit down. You're quite pregnant! We don't have that many rules in our family."

They rushed over to help her.

Seeing this, Huang Xintong did not sit down in a hurry.

Instead, she took out a box: "Mom, I didn't bring much with me. This is a set of ruby ​​jewelry that I bought from an auction house in Hong Kong. It was worn by the Empress of Russia."

He then took out a gift box: "Dad, this is a bottle I brought back from abroad. It's a Qing Dynasty Qianlong period blue and white porcelain gourd-shaped vase with red dragon and auspicious symbols. The gourd symbolizes good fortune and prosperity. Please don't mind."

"Huh? There's one for me too!"

Yang Guangzhi looked at the item with surprise.

Yang Xiaole whispered in his ear, "Keep this safe. It won't fetch less than eight million at the auction."

"hiss!"

Yang Guangzhi gasped.

"real or fake?"

"Why did you lie to me?"

"Oh!"

Yang Guangzhi nodded, quickly took it, and carefully placed it aside.

They started playing with it.

Yang Xiaole looked at the items and smiled.

Actually, antiques are starting to become popular, and prices are rising year by year.

But it's not over yet.

The peak was in the mid-90s, when a high-end item could fetch an astronomical price.

However, many people who played this game back then lost everything.

There was no way around it; the profits were just too great.

Yang Xiaole went over and sat down next to Huang Xintong, took her hand and said with a smile, "Are you tired? Sit down!"

I'm in the later stages of pregnancy, and it's really tiring.

Huang Xintong smiled and shook her head: "It's alright!"

I sat down.

Wang Qiuju put her things aside and looked at Huang Xintong, asking, "When are you going to give birth? Where are you living now?"

"Oh, I bought a courtyard house here, and I'll stay there for now! I estimate I'll give birth around the middle of next month."

Wang Qiuju nodded gently upon hearing this: "Oh! I'll take care of you during your postpartum period."

"No need to trouble yourself, Xingxing and Yueyue still need to be taken care of!"

Huang Xintong already knew about her family's situation and politely declined.

"Hey, it's okay, Xiao Le isn't leaving! We'll let him stay home then."

Wang Qiuju said indifferently.

Yang Xiaole just stood there watching with a smile.

We had actually discussed it on the way.

He plans to close the supermarket and Feng Xue's appliance store in the next two months, and then go to Hainan to return ahead of schedule.

You can make up any excuse when the time comes.

Anyway, Qu Ying is very busy and doesn't have time to come over. If she suddenly comes over, he will be able to react in time.

It's not like I brought Huang Xintong home.

The meal went relatively peacefully.

After overcoming her initial nervousness, Huang Xintong demonstrated her business acumen, making both of them smile broadly.

Actually, none of his three women are easy to deal with now.
