Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 870, I seriously suspect you are taking advantage of me.

After settling things in Beijing, Yang Xiaole took a plane and flew directly to Hainan Island.

Qu Ying was very busy on Hainan Island, and Yang Xiaole didn't stay for long either.

After staying for just over a week, I boarded a plane to Guangzhou, then transited through Vietnam and finally landed in Saudi Arabia.

He came here to pick up some things, of course.

He promised to sell some things to the mainland, and he still had to make the trip.

Qatar has not yet been designated as a base by the Bald Eagles.

The largest one is naturally the camel.

He originally planned to pick up the goods from the Japanese side, but then he thought he couldn't keep doing it in one place, lest they suspect it was done in the mainland.

We'll find another opportunity with the Japanese later.

As for the Middle East, it doesn't really matter; the US will find plenty of reasons to fight terrorism there in the future anyway.

Let it be chaotic!

……

In the darkness of night, a towering flame erupted from a desert base, only to be buried by the yellow sand.

Sand dunes, hundreds of meters high, buried the surrounding area.

Yang Xiaole then quietly left the place.

Even the largest sand dunes can be dug out.

He didn't care much about it; if it was dug up, it was dug up!

They packed a bunch of things in the space and quietly left, then flew back to the mainland via Qatar.

It's going to be lively here, let's let the temperature drop first.

This time, he actually made quite a haul. In addition to the two models he wanted, he also managed to pack some other models, some of which he didn't even recognize.

Actually it is not surprising.

Just like in an exam, you basically only remember the top few, or a few with unique characteristics.

I really don't remember anything else.

Since they're all just for reference anyway, I'm not afraid of breaking them if I have a lot more.

With his departure, the bald eagles became anxious.

After much speculation, no one knew who did it, so in the end, they could only blame the Russian bear.

There's nothing we can do; the Russian bear is the same size as it!
Such an embarrassing and image-damaging thing should naturally not be reported.

All news was blocked immediately.

……

After several twists and turns, Yang Xiaole quietly returned to the mainland.

The child is at school, so the parents must be at the store.

Almost a month has passed, and the supermarket has already opened. After all, this place is not like later generations, where luxurious decorations are needed.

The car stopped in front of the supermarket.

Yang Xiaole got out of the car and looked up.

It's alright. Following my own arrangement, the shop adopted a large billboard design from later times, which is very eye-catching.

The walls are also made of tall floor-to-ceiling glass, and of course, a roller shutter door is needed, otherwise it would be too dangerous at night.

Overall, it's pretty good.

Went straight in.

The store is doing fairly well. It's afternoon now, and there are still about a dozen people inside looking at things.

The two people at the counter are paying their bills.

"Xiao Le?"

Yang Guangzhi was looking at the list when he saw someone at the door and glanced at them as usual.

I spotted Yang Xiaole standing at the door right away.

"Dad, how's the shop? Where's Mom?"

Yang Xiaole walked over with a smile and asked a question.

Yang Guangzhi put his things down and came out.

They moved to the side.

"Tongtong's due date is tomorrow. Your mother went there yesterday, and I'm looking after the shop now."

After saying that, he smiled mysteriously and asked, "Do you know how much the supermarket makes in a day?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaole looked around and smiled: "Two or three thousand yuan?"

This shop isn't very big, and its cigarettes and alcohol are a few cents cheaper than others, so business shouldn't be too bad.

That's because prices are low now.

Yang Guangzhi chuckled and made a hand gesture.

"6000?"

Yang Guangzhi said with a smile.

Yang Xiaole smiled upon hearing this: "That's pretty good."

The current gross profit margin is estimated to be around 20%, since the rent is free.

An annual income of several hundred thousand.

not bad.

He then laughed and said, "Don't be too happy. The new store hasn't been open for long. Business might be good at the beginning, but it will be less later."

However, it's not absolute. Their own products are a bit cheaper than elsewhere, and once they gain a reputation, their business will be better.

It will only stabilize after reaching a certain peak.

Yang Guangzhi chuckled and said, "It's alright, as long as we don't lose money, it's fine. It's just that a lot of people aren't honest these days. They steal things."

Yang Xiaole laughed and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. We'll just have the stock clerks pay more attention. Once the curved mirrors arrive, we can use them to see."

There's nothing we can do about it.

Every era has its eccentrics, especially the 1980s and 90s, when there were the most such people.

Unavoidable.

The only solution is to strengthen control measures.

Moreover, all sorts of monsters and scoundrels emerged after the 1990s, and there were a lot of swindlers.

At this time, many business people were cheated.

Lost in thought, the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang.

Yang Guangzhi hurried over and picked up the phone to answer it.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Le is back, I know."

He then hung up the phone and said with a smile, "Tongtong is about to give birth and is on her way to Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Let's go over and take a look."

"I'll go over there, you stay here!"

"No need, the shop manager from Tongtong's shop is here watching over things. I'll just go check and come right back."

Yang Xiaole didn't insist after hearing this.

"Okay, let's go!"

"Okay, you go first. I'll drive my tricycle later. We might not be able to come back together."

"it is good!"

Yang Xiaole agreed and went out, driving towards Xiehe Hospital.

When he arrived, his mother was with Huang Xintong in the delivery room.

"Xiao Le, when did you get back?"

His mother was sitting there peeling an apple when she saw him come over and asked him a question.

"I just arrived and chatted with people in the supermarket for a while before you called."

After Yang Xiaole finished speaking, she looked at Huang Xintong and asked, "How is it now? What did the doctor say?"

Huang Xintong smiled and said, "It's alright, the fingers have opened to five, so it should go smoothly."

"That's pretty fast, five fingers opened so quickly."

"Ok!"

After finishing her sentence, Huang Xintong said with some concern, "Um... I checked before, the child is a girl! I haven't dared to tell you."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole laughed.

"A girl is a girl!"

Wang Qiuju, who was standing next to him, said with a smile, "It's okay. Xiao Le likes little girls. Xingxing was beaten when he was little. He has never laid a hand on Yueyue when she makes mistakes. It's Yueyue's mother who takes care of her. She even said that she has spoiled Yueyue."

After saying that, I felt like I had said something wrong.

He gave a sheepish smile.

"It's okay, we can have another one later!"

Huang Xintong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Although she knew that Yang Xiaole didn't have any preference for sons over daughters, she could tell from his attitude towards Qiqi.

But I was still somewhat disappointed.

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "It's okay, we can have another one later."

He knew that his mother, Wang Qiuju, didn't not want a boy; rather, she already had enough grandchildren, and for her, the gender of the child wasn't really that important.

Huang Xintong smiled and nodded.

After a while, Yang Guangzhi arrived.

The group chatted there for a while.

Huang Xintong had the experience of having two older sisters give birth, and she also exercised a lot, so her delivery went relatively smoothly.

In the early hours of the morning, the fifth princess of the Yang family's second branch was officially born.

Nickname: Little Fish.

Because Huang Xintong had already consulted a fortune teller and been given the name Yang Jinyu. ...

The arrival of Xiao Wu has made things a bit busier at home.

My mother wanted to come and see the baby when she had some free time, but luckily we hired a postpartum nanny, so she wasn't too busy.

……

Half a month after the baby was born, Yang Xiaole finally went to see Feng Xue.

After all, we need to consider Huang Xintong's feelings.

That morning, Yang Xiaole quietly appeared at the shop on Qianmen Street.

At this moment, the store was very busy, with many people looking at electrical appliances, while Feng Xue was introducing them to customers.

However, it's clear that Feng Xue put in the effort.

Although the data was memorized and felt somewhat like reading from a textbook, it was still quite good for this era.

These days, many people are too shy to even open their mouths when they first start doing business.

"Hello, what do you need? We have color TVs, washing machines, refrigerators, and air conditioners. If it's available on the market, we have it in our store. You don't need to go to a second store."

As soon as he entered, a young man walked over with a smile.

Yang Xiaole glanced at the other person.

She bears a resemblance to Feng Xue in her features and is only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Let me see!"

"Okay, go ahead and look around."

The other person said something cheerfully and then walked away.

Yang Xiaole watched from there and saw that the purchase rate was quite high; basically, three people could complete one order.

"Xiao Wei! Take this gentleman to pay the bill, and arrange for someone to deliver the goods to the destination later."

Lost in thought, Feng Xue called out.

"Hey, good!"

The boy who had previously greeted Yang Xiaole hurriedly ran over.

"Hey, Xiao Le!"

Only then did Feng Xue notice Yang Xiaole, and she walked over with a smile.

"When did you come back?"

"I arrived last night and came over early this morning," Yang Xiaole said, making up a story.

Feng Xue smiled happily upon hearing this.

"You're quite diligent! By the way, I have some good news for you."

She pulled his ear and whispered with a smile, "I'm pregnant, and with twins."

Yang Xiaole had naturally already discovered this.

It's been more than a month and a half now.

What surprised him even more was that Feng Xue was carrying twins, and two boys at that.

Are the chances of twins really that high?
It's important to know that twins usually share a genetic predisposition; if both parents are twins, the probability of their offspring being twins is very high.

And Feng Xue is so lucky.

Two boys.

Huang Qiujing and Huang Xintong are both girls, so they can't have boys.

Feng Xue did it twice at once.

He snapped out of his thoughts and laughed, "You found out so quickly!"

"Well, my period didn't come last month, so I went to the hospital for a checkup, but we still can't tell if it's a boy or a girl. It would be great if it were both a boy and a girl."

Yang Xiaole smiled.

He hasn't developed much yet, so the ultrasound can't detect it, but he can already see it.

It's confirmed that there are two boys.

"Who cares if it's a boy or a girl? Girls are great too!"

Then he asked, "Do your parents know?"

"I don't know yet! I've moved out now, and I'm living in the place you found for me. I plan to tell them when I start to show in two months. I'll also check if it's a boy or a girl then."

Yang Xiaole smiled gently upon hearing this.

"What will you do then? Will your parents scold you if they find out?"

"I already cursed him."

After Feng Xue finished speaking, she said softly, "Don't be fooled by their loud arguments. My mother has always been troubled by the fact that she didn't leave an heir for the Feng family. If we had a boy, she would be overjoyed."

Yang Xiaole shook his head speechlessly.

It seems that even at higher levels, some people still cannot escape the curse of carrying on the family line.

Looking around the shop, he asked, "How's business? Now that you're pregnant, you'll have to leave these things to others. If you sell less, that's fine too."

Feng Xue glanced around and smiled, "Business is pretty good. We make about 20,000 yuan a day. On weekends, it can reach 50,000 or 60,000. I'm still in good health. The new staff are all novices, including myself. If the prices weren't so low, it wouldn't be easy to sell!"
"Once these people get the hang of things in a few months, I won't have to worry about it too much."

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly upon hearing this.

It works out that we can sell fifty or sixty appliances a day.

Gross profit margin is over 60%.

One of a kind in the whole country.

Previously, color TVs were priced around one thousand yuan, but you needed a coupon. After the price reform, appliances no longer required coupons, but prices skyrocketed to three or four thousand yuan.

That's all profit.

Even a profit of 1000 yuan can be made, let alone 3,000 or 4,000 yuan.

Feng Xue's purchase price was almost the same as that of the China National Import and Export Corporation's import price.

It's really profitable.

That's several million a year.

However, she is the only one in the entire country to receive such treatment.

The same appliances don't need to be much cheaper; even a discount of ten or eight dollars will make them sell better than other stores.

"Auntie! Is this your friend? I thought he was someone who bought appliances!"

After finishing his work, Xiao Wei came over and asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Feng Xue smiled at Yang Xiaole and said, "This is my aunt's grandson, Song Wei. He didn't study hard in school and didn't get into university, so I had him come over to help. Xiao Wei, call him uncle."

These words made Serena Williams' eyes widen in surprise.

"Uncle... Uncle!"

After hesitating for a moment, I still addressed him.

Yang Xiaole smiled and nodded: "Hello!"

"Well... I'll get back to work now!"

Song Wei greeted them and quickly ran away.

Yang Xiaole watched him leave and smiled, "Are you sure it's okay to say that?"

Feng Xue said nonchalantly, "It's okay. We already have a child. It can't just appear out of thin air! We'll just use him to spread the word, and then we'll say we can't get along and broke up."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaole fell silent for a moment.

Don't be fooled by Feng Xue's nonchalant attitude; she's actually being gossiped about behind her back.

While premarital pregnancy is still common, it is still a minority.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, he smiled and said, "Should I come up with a name in advance?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Xue said, "No need. If it's a boy, I've already thought of a name for him: Feng Xiaole!"

"puff!"

Yang Xiaole was speechless upon hearing this.

Who names their children like that?

"What's wrong with that! My surname plus your given name, isn't that perfect? ​​From now on, when I see my son, I'll just call him Xiao Le, Xiao Le."

After saying that, he laughed so hard he couldn't stand up straight.

Yang Xiaole looked at her resentfully and said, "I seriously suspect that you are taking advantage of me."

After laughing, Feng Xue said, "Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore. At first, I really thought so, but then I felt something was off. You said that when you go to my house, my dad calls out 'Xiao Le,' and you either answer or not. If you answer, he'll say, 'I'm calling him my grandson!' Wouldn't you be embarrassed?"

After saying that, he laughed out loud again.

Yang Xiaole rolled her eyes.

"You're ready to perform stand-up comedy."

Feng Xue gave him a reproachful look and said, "I can't stay with you for the next few days. I asked the doctor, and he said to be careful."

"I know!"

Yang Xiaole rolled her eyes at her.

He looked around and asked, "Is there anyone who can help?"

Feng Xue's smile faded. She looked around and shook her head. "Not yet. The store is doing alright. You wouldn't believe how nervous I was when it first opened, because I didn't know much! But then I realized selling things isn't that hard! I don't know much, but ordinary people don't know much either!"

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly upon hearing this.

“Okay, you work on it for two years first. When it’s almost done, you can buy a piece of land and we’ll build a real home appliance mall.”

He has already explained the concept of the home appliance market.

Feng Xue's shop doesn't sell daily necessities like other products, as the reach of daily necessities is limited.

The appliances are different.

Once a good reputation is established and the price is low, it will attract people from further away.

The same price, but cheaper by ten or twenty yuan, is attractive.

Some people are indeed willing to travel a long way for just ten or twenty yuan.

After all, the average salary in Beijing is only around 150 yuan, which is less than the 400-500 yuan salary in coastal areas.
