The Red Era: Starting from Being an Educated Youth in the Countryside

Chapter 169: Going into business and grabbing the first piece of cake

When Chen Huaiyang found out, he didn't have much emotion. He believed that those who did evil would be punished by heaven.

I was busy persuading the two elders to set up a midnight snack stall.

As time goes by, courageous people step into all walks of life and taste the first piece of the pie.

Chen's father is a chef, so his cooking skills are naturally good. Setting up a stall and making some money is better than working in a factory.

Today's factories are no longer as stable as they used to be, so if you have the opportunity to try it, you can consider it.

After hearing this, Father Chen's eyes widened, he swallowed twice, and asked tentatively, "During this period, people will look down on you if you do business. Do you really want to do it?"

Chen Huaiyang sat down in front of them, looked at them intently and said, "The times are different now. It's not like before when random speculation would scare people away."

“People who look down on vendors behind their backs, it’s because they don’t have the courage to venture out into the world.”

"If we want to do something, we have to be the first and be at the forefront of the times. Only in this way can we make money. What's the point of always following behind others and making the money that they leave behind?"

"That is now. In two years, we will definitely have all kinds of vendors here. After all, who can resist the temptation of money?"

“Then those who are talking behind your back will shut up.”

"Besides, we live our lives behind closed doors. It's enough for us to live comfortably. Why should we care about other people's opinions?"

The two elders were convinced. They were almost bored to death from being idle at home, so they decided to do some work. It was better than doing nothing.

"Okay, you see how to do it, and we'll follow you."

"I can't go back to the food factory anymore. I feel bored staying at home. I need work to make my life more fulfilling."

Chen Huaiyang worked very quickly and set up a barbecue stall along with several sets of tables and chairs. After completing the preparations, he went to set up the stall in the evening.

Mr. Lu was a little hesitant at first, fearing being seen and ridiculed by acquaintances, but when guests came, he was so busy that he had no time to care.

After tasting the sweetness of making money for several consecutive days, he actually earned more than he did at the food factory. This brought about a huge change in his heart. Not only did he not feel disgusted, but he was full of motivation to work.

Everything was beyond Chen Huaiyang's expectations. He felt it was just barely adequate. Who could have imagined that there would be so many guests?

Later I thought about it and figured it out.

There was nothing to do at that time. People had made money but had no place to spend it. Suddenly, a barbecue stall appeared. The grilled food was delicious, so naturally more customers came.

Of course, there are bound to be people who make sarcastic remarks.

After all, I have lived here for most of my life and I know everyone here well. It is normal to run into acquaintances. I suddenly lost my job and had to set up a stall to make a living. There must be no shortage of self-righteous people who would come to me for advice.

At that time, the two old men had their pockets stuffed full, and although they responded in a flattering manner, they were actually very busy.

My son said that making a fortune quietly is the right thing to do, and it’s fun to make money.

In just a few years, they bought land and built spacious buildings. Those who had previously despised the vendors now looked at them with envy.

No wonder they work so hard, it turns out they can make so much money!
It forms a stark contrast with the fixed salary they receive, and the comparison is really confusing.

Of course, that is a story for later. Chen Huaiyang accompanied them for a few days, and when he found that they were on the right track, he bought them a tricycle for them to use when closing the stall.

In this case, since he was no longer needed, she took her two sons to her mother-in-law's house.

At that time, the atmosphere in the Yang family was very strange, shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere. Chen Huaiyang could feel the restrained feeling as soon as he stepped in.

When Yang's mother saw her grandson, she was so delighted that she went up to him and hugged him left and right, treating him like her own sweetheart. Even her depressed mood was relieved.

After dinner, while taking the two children to take a nap, the two elders of the Yang family pulled Chen Huaiyang aside, hoping that he could persuade Yang Xiaotao to stop having wild ideas.

"This kid doesn't want to work hard at his job. He says he wants to start a business. He doesn't want to hold on to his stable job. Instead, he wants to venture out into the world. Isn't he afraid of getting hurt?"

Then he looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "Your brother-in-law also has a stable job. Do you think he is as unsteady as you are?"

"You are not willing to work hard, but you insist on messing around. When you get hurt, I think you will regret it."

Yang Xiaotao sat next to them with a stubborn look on his face, "Mom and Dad, just let me give it a try! I can see the end of my current job, and I want to explore more while I'm still young."

"There are many opportunities out there. Doing business is the trend of the times, and many people will definitely go into business."

"You think your current iron rice bowl is a good thing. After a while, the state will contract out factories to private individuals, and then your iron rice bowl will no longer be stable."

"Now is the time for revitalization. We need to add all kinds of items. If you start a business now and keep your feet on the ground, you will definitely make a steady profit."

"I have learned about it on purpose. Now is the time to show your ability. If you don't try, you will definitely regret it."

"I'm still so young, I want to train myself, even if I fail, I have the ability to take the responsibility."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Huaiyang with a hint of pleading in his eyes, "Brother-in-law, can you talk to my parents and ask if I can start a business now?"

Chen Huaiyang felt three pairs of eyes staring at him and touched his nose. "How should I put this?"

"If you have vision and courage, there is no shortage of opportunities to make money. Now is the time to start all kinds of household appliances."

“It takes some courage to start a business, but if you dare to take risks, you will definitely succeed.”

Yang Xiaotao nodded frequently, "That's right! My brother-in-law thinks it's a rare opportunity, and he also went it alone and founded Sunshine Newspaper. This also takes courage."

"My brother-in-law has the ambition to make a living, and my sister fully supports him. You can't become an obstacle on my way forward."

After hearing this, the two elders looked at Chen Huaiyang in shock, "You founded the Sunshine Newspaper?"

Their son-in-law is amazing!
How much effort does it take to create a newspaper so easily?
Chen Huaiyang nodded. He usually didn’t think of using it as a capital to show off, and he never mentioned it to his family. Yang Xiaotao probably knew about it because his wife told him.

"I have been working in this industry for many years, and I only do it when I am sure I can do it. I have the capital on hand, otherwise I would not dare to act blindly."

“Before deciding to do something, you have to understand what problems you will encounter and how to solve them when they arise.”

"When you have considered all these situations and still feel that you can handle it, then go for it. The premise is that you must be down-to-earth and not aim too high."
