Mixed in 1980

Chapter 132 Developing new projects
How much does the president earn? Chen Fan earns 1.5 points for each editing group in the club. After the rotating president takes office, the president's income will be reduced to 1 point.

After all, there are three presidents, and they all get 1.5 points, which adds up to 4.5 points. The number is still a bit large, and the members of the club may complain.

Even 1 point is not a small amount.

Not counting the later print runs and advertising fees, based on previous income, one editorial team could take away 27 yuan, and the total for 18 editorial teams would be 486 yuan.

"You can't really blame her for this."

Zeng Ali sighed helplessly: "This elder sister is really open-minded. She said that she will be going abroad as an exchange student next year and is not suitable to be the president. She does not want to affect the development of the club."

"Want to go out as an exchange student?" Chen Fan frowned.

Exchange students are usually scheduled in September, and the rotating president changes every four months. According to the previously set schedule, excluding winter and summer vacations, it happens to be during Zheng Yana's term.

"No wonder she's in a hurry to make money. Never mind. I'll think of a way later."

Chen Fan sighed, sat down and lit a cigarette: "Has Zhang Chaoyang discussed Zheng Yana's decision not to be the president? Is there any problem?"

Zeng Ali nodded, "Zhang Chaoyang has already been negotiated, no problem, what about the remaining vacancy?"

Chen Fan pondered for a moment: "Among the previous candidates, there are Gao Aiguo and Li Mingyi. Who do you think is more suitable?"

"They are both very capable. Li Mingyi is easy-going and easy to get along with, but Gao Aiguo is different. He has a very strong personality."

"Then it's decided to be Gao Aiguo!" Chen Fan said.

"Ok?"

“Putting a strong person in charge is not necessarily a bad thing. With a strong person in place, problems are more likely to break out within the community, and it is easier for the research team to discover problems.”

"You are not a good person!" Zeng Ali complained.

"The experimental management model is to allow various problems to break out and make various contingency plans so that you can suffer less losses in the future. You have to keep a close eye on it."

Chen Fan flicked the ash off his cigarette and looked at his watch. "It's almost time for dinner. Should I cook for myself or go out for a meal?"

"You eat by yourself, I'm going home."

Tomorrow is Saturday again. Xu Jinqiu has to go to class, Zeng Ali doesn't have to go to work, and there is nothing to do in the club this weekend: "Don't forget about Zheng Yana. She will definitely look for you on Monday."

"What kind of trouble am I in?"

Chen Fan scratched his hair, followed Zeng Ali out, had a quick bite at a state-owned restaurant outside, and then went to school for classes.

After school in the afternoon, Xu Jinqiu didn't see Zeng Ali: "Where's the elder sister? Didn't she come back with you?"

"I went home at noon."

"Ok?"

Xu Jinqiu looked at Chen Fan strangely, and Chen Fan was so angry that he pinched her cheek fiercely: "Classmate Qiu'er, what are you imagining now?"

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

Xu Jinqiu sighed helplessly. This bastard didn't feel guilty at all. It seemed like there was no hope. "I'll go prepare the food. You cook later."

Chen Fan was helpless, this girl was beyond saving.

Helping the girl wash the vegetables, Chen Fan asked again: "Yuanyuan should move in next week. Should we give her a separate room, or should she live with her elder sister?"

"There are no kangs in either of the two side rooms. It will start snowing in a few days, so it will be impossible to live here. It's more convenient to live with my eldest sister," said Xu Jinqiu.

Chen Fan hummed, "Let's just make do with it for now. We have to redecorate during the winter break anyway, so we can install electric radiators in each room and make it more comfortable to live in."

"It's not a big problem at home. When it snows, how will you go to and from get off work?"

"It doesn't snow every day. If it snows, I can take the bus. On normal days, I can just ride a bicycle. Unfortunately, individuals cannot buy cars. I have to find a way."

Buy the car privately and get 84 years!
Chen Fan was thinking about how to get a car. Individuals could not buy cars, but companies could. It might not be impossible to find a company to affiliate with.

But it is against the rules after all. It is easy to be checked if you drive a car on the road privately. You don't even have to drive a car. Even if you ride a motorcycle, you can easily be stopped.

If you really want to find an organization to affiliate with, unless your background is strong enough, there is a high probability that you will get yourself into trouble and will also implicate the affiliated organization.

It’s too troublesome, it’s boring just thinking about it!
Putting the matter behind them, the next day after Xu Jinqiu finished class, the two rode their bicycles back to Maoer Hutong. They stopped in the hutong for a while and chatted with Chen Min.

"Sister, how's business going lately?"

"It's all the same. There's nothing bad, and there are no surprises. It's stable, which is pretty good. It's much better than going to work." Chen Min smiled slightly.

"If it snows in a few days, will you still be able to run this stall?"

Hearing this, Chen Min was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Why, people don't eat pickles when it snows? That doesn't make sense."

Chen Fan rolled his eyes: "Setting up a stall in the middle of winter won't freeze you to death, why don't you think about changing it and just keep setting up the stall?"

"You are afraid of heat and cold, so you don't want to do business? What if your sister is the daughter of a wealthy family?"

Chen Min slapped his brother and said, "You were able to endure hardships before. You could even live in Saihanba. Why do you act like a playboy after returning to the capital?"

When a sister beats her brother, she is really cruel.

Chen Fan took the beating but could only stand it: "Let's be reasonable. Our family is not the same as before. We can't just endure it without suffering, right? I just feel sorry for you."

"Get out of here. Do I care if you feel bad for me? Our stall is very stable. Your brother-in-law and I can earn 20 to 30 yuan a day. If we don't run the stall, we'll be starving." Chen Min laughed.

It has been half a year since she moved out of her husband's house. Her life is prosperous. The happiest moment is when she closes the stall and counts money every day. I want her to close the stall, but it's impossible.

"Can't you have some ambition? Now individual businesses are allowed to run restaurants. There are many shops along the street in Nanluoguxiang. It's better to open a store than to set up a stall."

"You have to rent a shop, so it's better to set up a stall." "You are just stingy and can't bear to spend that little rent. Having a storefront is better than setting up a stall. It won't be exposed to the sun in the summer and the rain and snow in the winter."

"I'm stingy, but I'm happy with it!" Chen Min said unhappily.

"We have a store that can sell some other things. You can figure it out slowly." Chen Fan rolled his eyes at his sister, got on his bike and left.

I pushed my bicycle into the gate and greeted a group of elderly people.

When they arrived at the middle courtyard, Zeng Ali and Zhao Yuanyuan were there too, playing Eagle Catches Chicken with Chen Yi and Nannan. The children in the yard also played with them.

Chen Fan asked curiously, "You two didn't go home, why are you both here?"

Zeng Ali looked at Zhao Yuanyuan, who chuckled, "I brought my elder sister here. I heard that my business transfer letter has come through?"

"Call me brother!"

Zhao Yuanyuan gnashed her fangs and said, "Chen Fan, don't push your luck. I called you that last time!"

Chen Fan teased: "So, my brother is a temporary worker."

Zhao Yuanyuan nodded.

Chen Fan rolled his eyes, not wanting to tease the girl anymore. He took out the business transfer letter from his bag and said, "Remember to go through the formalities on Monday and start work on Tuesday. You know what the formalities are, right?"

"My elder sister has already said it, don't worry."

Zhao Yuanyuan snatched the transfer letter, her eyes narrowed into a line, and she couldn't help but giggle. In the blink of an eye, she became an employee of Peking University.

My eldest sister said that the salary for being an assistant at Peking University is very good. For every book published by the society, there will be a corresponding commission, at least thousands of yuan a year.

Work hard for two years and you’ll be a wealthy woman!

"You're stupid!"

Chen Fan moved away from her in disdain, and Zeng Ali came over again: "Your second uncle asked me to bring a bunch of scrolls over and put them in the living room for you."

Then he took out another stack of receipts: "These are all receipts for the scrolls. Your second uncle specifically told you to explain it to Qiu'er yourself, so that Qiu'er won't come after him."

"Just sent it over?"

Chen Fan took the receipt and flipped through it. It clearly stated: Qi Baishi's shrimp, Xu Beihong's horse, Li Keran's cow, Lou Shibai's duck, Li Kuchan's eagle...

The more he looked down, the wider Chen Fan's mouth grinned. Not caring about Zeng Ali, he turned around and ran to the living room. He looked at the pile of scrolls on the table and grinned foolishly.

The condition is almost the same as Zhao Yuanyuan!

He casually picked up a scroll and opened it. It was the painting of a hundred shrimps by Master Qi Baishi... Well, Chen Fan didn't know how to appreciate it, but that didn't stop him from liking it.

Xu Jinqiu walked over and seeing his silly smile, she couldn't help but tease him, "That's enough. I don't usually see you like calligraphy and painting. Who are you pretending to be for?"

"Is this a painting? This is money!" Chen Fan rolled his eyes at the girl.

Master Qi Baishi's shrimp painting charges money based on the number of shrimps. One shrimp can be exchanged for a luxury car. These one hundred shrimps... it's exciting just to think about it.

“It’s really expensive.”

Xu Jinqiu took the receipt and calculated it carefully. He bought a total of 18 paintings and spent 450 yuan, which was the annual expenditure of other people's families.

Chen Fan did not explain. He told people in the 1980s that if one of these paintings could be worth hundreds of millions in the future, they would probably be considered crazy.

After thinking for a while, Chen Fan said, "This thing is like a house. Sooner or later, the price will go up. Buy more now while it's cheap. Give another thousand to my second brother tomorrow and let him buy more."

Xu Jinqiu nodded. Although she didn't understand, she wouldn't object. There were some things she couldn't understand, but she believed that Chen Fan knew everything about them.

"Xiao Qiu'er was really eaten to death!"

Zeng Ali shook her head. One dared to spend money, while the other did not ask. This young couple really interpreted the saying "husband sings and wife follows" to the fullest.

However, there is one thing Zeng Ali is sure of, Chen Fan can spend money and is also particularly good at making money. Since it is said that calligraphy and painting will increase in price in the future, there is a high probability that they will really increase in price.

Thinking of this, Zeng Ali also began to have ideas.

I have some savings, and I'm working in a community, so my income won't be bad, so it would be nice to take some out for investment.

Don’t buy too much, you won’t feel bad if you lose money!

“If you want to collect them and wait for them to appreciate in value, just find a box to put them in. Don’t come back and find out that they have been eaten by rats,” Zeng Ali reminded.

“I’ll ask my dad to make a mahogany box and cover it with a three-millimeter-thick layer of iron sheet. Not to mention mice, even groundhogs won’t be able to do anything to them.” Chen Fan rolled up the picture of the hundred shrimps.

"You should go and ask around. In addition to keeping out rats, you also have to keep out moisture and insects. It's a lot of trouble. Do you really think collecting calligraphy and paintings is that easy?"

Zeng Ali rolled his eyes at the man, not understanding anything. "Let's talk business. Have you thought about Zheng Yana's matter? Monday is coming soon."

"Zheng Yana is not as quick as you."

Chen Fan rolled his eyes in return and put away the scroll in his hand: "Don't worry, there just happened to be a project. If she can do it, she will definitely make a fortune."

That elder sister is a good cow and horse, and a future big boss. We should help her if we can now. In the future, these will be favors.

When you're in society, you're dealing with interpersonal relationships.

Chen Fan has already thought of a project. If he can run this business, it will not only help Zheng Yana, but he will also gain huge benefits.

But this matter still depends on Zheng Yana's level.
