Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 706 Seeking Sponsorship

Ran Tu asked, "Buying a house in Kyoto? Going all the way there to buy a house?"

Xiao Hong said, "You guys have no idea how expensive things are outside. In Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, a night's stay costs several hundred yuan, and a meal costs several hundred yuan. During our summer vacation trip, we spent tens of thousands of yuan just on accommodation and food. It breaks my heart. I want to buy a house in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou to save myself from wasting money when I go there in the future."

Mo Lijuan said, "So you're planning to buy a house wherever you go in the future? Aren't all places expensive to get around?"

Xiao Hong said, "Just buy it. I have nowhere to spend the money anyway. Keeping it is just putting it in the bank. Xiao Wei said that houses will become more and more valuable in the future, and then I will be rich, haha."

Ran Tu asked, "Where did you get your secret stash of money?"

Xiao Hong said, "Xiao Wei gave it to me. It was a supply contract we signed before we started doing business. Then he went to Longcheng, and he gave me the money. Anyway, he doesn't care about this little bit of money."

Ran Tu asked, "Then he doesn't give you any other money? Don't you manage the money in your family?"

Xiao Hong blinked her eyes: "Why should I handle the money? I don't want to manage the money. He can manage it. Too much money is a headache."

Mo Lijuan suddenly waved her hand and said, "I've made up my mind. I'm going to ask for leave from school tomorrow. I'm going home."

Xiao Hong and Ran Tu both looked at Mo Lijuan: "What are you going to do?"

Mo Lijuan looked at Xiaowei and said, "Go back and sell the car. There are quite a few small coal mines near my home. I'll go find them to sell this SUV, and also the truck. I'm going all out; I want to make money."

Xiao Hong said, "Why did you call and ask why you're taking leave?"

Mo Lijuan said, "No, I'll go back and run the errand myself. It'll only take about half a month, whether it works or not. You two keep it a secret for me. If it works, I don't need the commission. Xiao Hong, can you give me the house at the price you paid? A little bit more is fine too."

Xiao Hong nodded and said, "Okay, I don't have anything else. My family has a lot of houses. They'll be everywhere in Fengtian next year. If you're not in a hurry, I can get you a storefront next year. It's under construction now. Xiao Wei said that it will be more valuable than a house in the future."

Ran Tu asked, "Everywhere? Where did they come from?"

Xiao Hong said, "Yes, he builds a building for the police station, and then uses the land he gets in return to build houses. It's like he's buying land from the police station, you understand?"

Mo Lijuan said, "You're so lucky, your boyfriend is amazing."

Xiao Hong said proudly, "Yeah, he's really amazing. He became a policeman at the police station this year, and in just a few months he's already received two second-class merit awards. He caught two murderers, isn't that incredible? One of them was carrying a submachine gun. When he came back and told me about it, it scared me to tears."

Xiao Wei finished discussing things with Director Wang and Director Wei, and walked over to Xiao Hong and the other two: "Alright, I'll take you back to school."

Xiao Hong asked, "Are we really going to take those three buildings?"

Xiao Wei opened the car door and said, "Sure, what's wrong with having too many houses? I'd take them all if he gave them to me."

He got in the car, started it, turned it around, and waved goodbye to Uncle Wang and Wang Ting.

Xiaohong said, "I don't have enough money. How much do I need?"

Xiao Wei said, "Director Wang said it's 3.2 million. Here's the money I got back from my brother last time. Is that enough?"

Xiao Hong said, "It's not enough. I only have about 400,000 yuan on hand, and I'm still short more than 400,000 yuan."

Xiao Wei laughed and said, "Okay, I'll lend you fifty, you can pay me back a hundred later."

Xiao Hong said, "Okay, I'll give you back two hundred."

Ran Tu said, "This is so shocking! It feels like a dream. How am I supposed to live my life after this?"

Mo Lijuan said, "Let's go earn some too. With such a big tree to lean on, how can we not make money? I'll take the day off tomorrow, it's a deal."

Xiao Wei glanced at Mo Lijuan, who was full of fighting spirit, in the rearview mirror and said, "That's right, money is something you can earn. As long as you keep working hard, you'll definitely make money."

Xiao Hong said, "Juanzi said she didn't want the commission money, she wanted a house, so I said I'd get her a shop."

Xiao Wei said, "Okay, then let's go with the storefront. You can choose whichever you like next year."

Ran Tu asked Mo Lijuan, "Juanzi, are you really that confident you can sell the car? It's worth several million! Even if you can find those bosses, do you think they'll believe you?"

Mo Lijuan said, "My second uncle works in the county and knows all the bosses. I'll go in his name, and we won't lie to him."

Ran Tu leaned back and said, "Now I'm the only poor person left. Where am I supposed to find food? Brother-in-law, can you introduce me to a way to make money?"

Xiao Wei said, "Selling clothes, opening a cake shop, selling cars, or if all else fails, you can help me sell houses. It's not about how much money you make right now, it's about persistence. Little by little, it adds up, and naturally, it grows bigger and bigger. I think you guys get assigned jobs after graduation, right? Aren't you planning to work?"

Ran Tu said, "Working for a month only earns that little bit of salary. We don't have any connections or influence, how can we expect to get promoted and make a fortune? If I could make money on my own, I would definitely choose to make money."

Xiao Wei said, "It's the same path. Just think it through yourself. Anyway, these are all the things I have at home. You two are Xiao Hong's friends, so I'll definitely help if I can. I'm not just trying to fool you."

Ran Tu asked, "Where do you sell clothes? How much capital do you need? And what's that cake shop?"

Xiao Wei said, "We bought several buildings and are currently renovating them. In the future, some of the upper floors will be used as shopping malls, with counters available for rent. If you want to do this, I can reserve a few counters for you. You don't have to pay the rent upfront; we'll settle it once you've started operating."

"Stocking up is basically like ordering from Wu'ai Nanta, which should be enough to get things started with a few thousand yuan. A cake shop requires a bigger investment, tens of thousands of yuan. It really depends on what you want to do."

Ran Tu thought for a moment and said, "I want to sell clothes, is that okay? Sigh." She leaned back again, "Forget it, asking my mom for several thousand yuan is like trying to pull teeth from a tiger's mouth. My mom would strangle me and chop me into dumpling filling. There's no way."

Xiaohong said, "It's okay, I'll lend it to you. I'll go with you to take a look when things are settled over there. I'll pay you back after you've made your choice. Juanzi, you too, I'll lend you money if you need anything."

Mo Lijuan said, "I'll sell the car first; I'm sure I can sell it. Tomorrow I'll have someone take some photos and take them back to show people."

Xiao Wei said, "I have a camera. If you want to take pictures, ask Xiao Hong to get it for you."

The car quickly arrived at Nanhu. Xiaowei drove the SUV, with military license plates, directly into the campus. The old gatekeeper let him through without even asking any questions, and he drove all the way to the auditorium.

After parking the car, Ran Tu and Mo Lijuan went to call people to help move their things. Xiao Hong said to Xiao Wei, "The student council is looking for sponsorships, can we contribute some?"

Xiao Wei asked, "What kind of sponsorship?"

Xiao Hong said, "It's the money for organizing events. The money the school gives us is never enough. The external relations department has to go around asking companies and organizations for sponsorships to raise money for events. I even have quotas to meet."

Xiao Wei said, "You have a task too? What if you can't get them to come?"

Xiao Hong said, "If you can't attract them, you can't attract them. Not everyone can attract money; it depends on luck."

Xiao Wei said, "It's up to you. You can pay if you want, or not if you don't."

Xiao Hong said, "I think we should hold a welcome party and a graduation party to leave an impression on the students. What if some of them want to come work for us? We'll need to recruit quite a few people when our headquarters is completed next year."
