After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 183 Spending money is a pattern
Divide the money first.

Then the task of editing the book was arranged.

Everyone is happy.

Especially having the opportunity to compile a set of national teaching supplementary books, this sense of accomplishment cannot be measured by money. The children all imitated the adults and drank some white wine.

The two girls were a little drunk.

The next game couldn't go on, so the monitor took someone to send them home.

Zhou Haoran didn't go because he had to go back to the city soon.

Tell Dongfang Lang to find some liberal arts students at school and have them compile a version of the book based on this idea. Then go back to Jiang Xiong, he has professional editors.

At that time, according to the requirements of the book layout, the length, width and size of the handwritten answers will be standardized to facilitate future typesetting and printing.

After going through so much, this is no longer a difficult task for Dongfang Lang.

"There's something very annoying."

Dongfang Lang drank some wine and his face turned red.

Zhou Haoran asked: "What's the matter?"

Dongfang Lang said, "At the end of last month, I bought a 25-inch TV for my family... a Panasonic TV. It cost over yuan, and I paid for it from my book loan."

“Buy it!”

Zhou Haoran didn't care because the money from selling books was not his personal money.

This small amount of money wouldn't make him greedy enough to keep it all for himself.

Dongfang Lang said with a gloomy face, "It's really annoying. Many aunties have come to my house and praised me, saying that I've made a lot of progress. I was quite happy at first, but later I felt something was wrong."

Zhou Haoran couldn't help but laugh.

He had already guessed it.

So after he made money, he never bought anything expensive for his home.

"You can praise me, but the things you said were weird." Dongfang Lang was too young to have such an awareness. "Later, my book sales were even reported in the newspapers... in both the city newspaper and the evening paper."

Zhou Haoran nodded. "A few high school students selling the 'Top Scorer Handbook' to high schools all over the city is a hot topic, so it's no surprise that it's reported. Did you accept the interview?"

Dongfang Lang scratched his head. "I, the squad leader, Chen Zixuan, and the two top scorers were all interviewed."

Zhou Haoran said with a smile: "And then this newspaper spread all over the alley, right?"

Dongfang Lang said, "Yes, after the news spread, the atmosphere became even more strange."

"That's human nature. When you weren't doing well before, everyone encouraged you and hoped you could get better. But when you really get better, and become better than them, the balance becomes unbalanced."

Zhou Haoran had seen through it long ago.

It is not obvious in this era because information is not transmitted smoothly enough.

This is especially evident in the Internet age.

If you post something on your Moments saying that your business is doing well, few people will like it; if you post something on your Moments expressing how much hardship and suffering you have endured, all people will like it.

Dongfang Lang said solemnly, "That's probably the case. It's easy to compare people around you. They're all originally on the same level, but when someone succeeds in some area or lives a better life, jealousy and imbalance arise."

"That's Qiao Suiqing, isn't it?"

Zhou Haoran sighed.

I feel that this childhood sweetheart sister is quite pitiful. Her family doesn't love her, and outsiders still think she is a glamorous female host who makes a lot of money and is doing well.

"Ah."

Now that Dongfang Lang knew that Sister Suiqing lived with him, he couldn't say some things too directly.

In the past, they had often plotted against Qiao Suiqing in private.

I also think that since she went to a place like a TV station, she must be dating a rich man.

Thinking about it now, I feel really ashamed.

It really shouldn’t be!

The fat lady from the neighborhood committee came to question me, asking if you were working for a big boss selling books. Young people like me, be careful! There are a lot of bad people in society these days. Don't go down the wrong path!

It sounds like words of concern.

But it's just weird.

Very uncomfortable.

Zhou Haoran asked, "Do you still remember that old uncle Huai?"

Dongfang Lang said: "Well, he's already the district chief. I heard he has several..."

"Don't listen to it." Zhou Haoran was a little amused. "Now it's your turn, isn't it the same for you? Didn't you see that he never came back and cut off all ties with these poor neighbors?"

Dongfang Lang's expression changed slightly. "It won't lead to a severance of diplomatic ties, right?"

Zhou Haoran said, "We can't break up even if we want to. Our parents are over there. No one from Uncle Huai's family is left in the alley. They don't miss him anymore, so we can just break up."

"So what can we do?"

"buy."

"Ah? It really costs money?"

Dongfang Lang had heard him express this sentiment before and felt extremely reluctant to let him go.

"Your ability to make money depends on how you spend it." Zhou Haoran knew this was a big challenge for Dongfang Lang, who had never seen a lot of money before. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "The secret to success is not to fall into the poverty trap. It's more important to know how to spend money than to know how to make money."

……

There is still 100 million left from the book sales.

They are all in Zhou Haoran's hands.

5 yuan in cash.

There is 82.3 yuan in the passbook.

The bank still has 12.7 yuan in remittances that have not arrived.

Monday morning.

Zhou Haoran went to the company, called his female apprentice Qiao Nuo, and went to Hongxiang Department Store, which was not far from the TV station.

The name is very common.

But it is a five-star shopping mall, the best in the harbor.

"Teacher Zhou, do we really need to buy a computer?"

Qiao Nuo's eyes lit up, full of anticipation.

Zhou Haoran smiled and asked, "How are your computer skills?"

Qiao Nuo raised his fair face. Around his neck hung a very thin platinum necklace that was worth at least several thousand dollars. He pursed his lips and said proudly, "It's good. I can type very fast."

Zhou Haoran could tell she came from a well-off family and asked, "Do you have a computer?"

"No." Qiao Nuo shook his head slightly. "I have a younger brother, and my dad is afraid he'll lose his ambition due to his hobbies." Zhou Haoran didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Computers are a new-age learning tool!"

"I think so, but my dad doesn't agree." Qiao Nuo sighed softly and looked around. "Teacher Zhou, do you know of any houses for rent nearby?"

Zhou Haoran understood, "You want to rent a house?"

Qiao Nuo said coquettishly, "When I get my salary, I will move out and live on my own."

Zhou Haoran nodded. "It seems like the apartment I live in is vacant... I'll ask for you later."

Went to Hongxiang Department Store.

Buy a computer.

Qiao Nuo was very surprised.

She thought she was buying a desktop computer. After all, it was cheap, and domestic ones only cost a few thousand yuan.

But unexpectedly, Teacher Zhou was looking at a laptop.

Toshiba, Compaq, Sony, Apple, and the domestic Lenovo laptops which have been very popular in recent advertisements.

Zhou Haoran asked: "Can you use the Apple system?"

"What Apple system?"

Qiao Nuo looked confused.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Forget it, let's use Microsoft's system. It's just too clunky."

Qiao Nuo suggested, "Teacher Zhou, should we buy a Lenovo? It's very cheap. One of my classmates bought this."

This year, Lenovo launched its first laptop, Zhaoyang S5100, which is the first domestic brand laptop to achieve a breakthrough from scratch.

Shocked the market.

Before this, the laptop market was dominated by foreign computer giants like HP and IBM, and a single laptop would cost at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, making it simply unaffordable for ordinary college students.

Lenovo's Zhaoyang S5100 costs around to yuan per unit.

Foreign computer giants should all go bankrupt.

The price war in the computer industry these days is much more fierce than the breakthrough in the domestic mobile phone industry more than ten years later.

"This Lenovo is too heavy and bulky. You can't even lift it." Zhou Haoran bought this computer mainly for his female apprentice. "Don't they have ultra-thin portable ones? Let's go get one."

"That will cost tens of thousands. Can the company reimburse it?"

Jono was a little worried.

"Ah?" Zhou Haoran couldn't help but laugh. "You think buying a Lenovo can get you reimbursed?"

"Can't be reimbursed?"

Qiao Nuo was in a daze.

If it can’t be reimbursed, then isn’t that Teacher Zhou paying for it personally?

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Let's go to IBM and take a look. Their new model has won all the industry awards. Let's go and see how amazing it is."

"Teacher Zhou……"

Qiao Nuo's footsteps suddenly became much heavier.

"It's okay, it's a job requirement. Only by buying good equipment can I write better letters."

Zhou Haoran reached out to pull her.

Qiao Nuo blushed a little and was too embarrassed to hold his hand. She pretended not to see him and followed him.

IBM is now the leader in the computer industry.

The newly released ThinkPad 560 is world-renowned and is known as an ultra-portable computer. It is a "fanless" ultra-thin notebook.

Only 3 cm thick.

Weighs less than 4 pounds.

It is very convenient to carry to and from get off work.

The price is also very touching...

Retail price is 3.8 yuan!

Zhou Haoran turned on the machine and tried it out.

Windows 95 system, 1GB hard disk, 8MB memory...

He suggested to the seller that he add another 8MB memory stick in the expansion slot.

Some haggling.

The final transaction price was 3.68.

Qiao Nuo's eyes turned red as he left Hongxiang Department Store holding a big computer box in his arms.

Not because it's too heavy.

But I was moved.

This is the power of money.

If you buy that cheap Lenovo, you definitely won’t get this effect.

It's like buying a horse's bones for a huge sum of money.

Qiao Nuo's eyes were wet, and he choked up and said, "Teacher Zhou, why are you so nice to me?"

Zhou Haoran said with a smile: "Don't think too much, this computer is shared by the two of us. You want to write letters, and when I have free time in the future, I will also use it to write my paper."

"Yeah." Qiao Nuo wiped his eyes, "Teacher Zhou, who should we write to?"

"For the client, didn't I tell you that?"

"But I've reviewed the client information you gave me. Those clients have basically been deemed 'impossible,' with no chance of signing a contract. Mr. Zhou, why are all the clients you handle like this?"

"These are all state-owned enterprise clients you see." Zhou Haoran didn't need to tell her about the bullying he had suffered in the past. "If you want to sign with these clients, you have to visit them in person."

Qiao Nuo understood what he meant and panted while holding the computer. "Do you still have any private enterprise clients?"

Zhou Haoran said: "Not yet."

"Huh?" Qiao Nuo was a little flustered. "Without clients, who should we write to?"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "If there are no customers, then go find them."

Qiao Nuo's brows were filled with confusion. He felt that Teacher Zhou was unreliable. "Where can I find clients?"

"I've already checked it out. There's a large area of ​​private enterprises there. Let's go there this afternoon."

"where?"

“Industrial Park.”
