Rebirth of the Entrepreneurship Era

Chapter 23: Earn money early

Apart from buying a bicycle for his sister, Xu Yiyang did not treat himself badly.

At the video store next door, he bought a genuine Sony Walkman with remote control for more than 600 yuan, and bought a few tapes.

Entertainment is scarce these days.

The Internet and smartphones are not allowed to play, and listening to music should be the only thing that can bring back a sense of modernity.

The current Walkman at home is a brand-name machine bought for tens of dollars, and the earphones are also a brand-name product that costs three to five dollars a piece. The sound quality is poor. Xu Yiyang never turned it on after listening to it once.

With Dou Wei's "Longer Tomorrow" in his ears, Xu Yiyang and his sister rode home in their own cars.

Xu Yishan rode that beautiful retro bicycle, grinning from ear to ear.

Even at night, this car still keeps turning heads.

With such a bright color scheme and a rare retro shape, not to mention the envious eyes of the little girl, even the boys couldn't help but look twice more.

Seeing his sister's happy appearance, Xu Yiyang felt extraordinarily comfortable.

He always felt that his sister made a lot of sacrifices for him in his previous life, so he must do his best to treat her well in this life.

Riding the bike, Xu Yishan looked at Xu Yiyang coquettishly and said, "Brother, give me an earphone to listen to?"

Xu Yiyang took off the earphone from his left ear, handed it to her on the right, and said: "It's difficult, you can ride slowly, don't fall."

"Got it!" Xu Yishan stuck out her tongue, holding the handlebar with one hand and taking the earphone with the other. At this time, Xu Yiyang's favorite passage was being sung in the earphone:

"Leave yesterday to embrace hope, bid farewell to night and wait for dawn..."

"The glory of the past is no longer important, and tomorrow will be longer..."

Xu Yishan asked curiously: "Brother, who sang this, it's really nice."

Xu Yiyang said casually: "Dou Wei."

"Is Dou Wei from the Black Panthers singing Shame?"

"Yes, that's him."

"Wow, he looks handsome!"

"Yeah, a handsome group."

...

The brothers and sisters went back to the yard of the agricultural machinery factory and locked the bicycles in the downstairs shed.

Xu Yishan stared at her new car, unwilling to leave after looking at it for a long time, couldn't help asking Xu Yiyang: "Brother, won't the car be lost here?"

Xu Yiyang said with a smile: "There is someone guarding the door 24 hours a day, what are you afraid of?"

Xu Yishan stuck out her tongue: "That's right!"

After finishing speaking, he reluctantly followed Xu Yiyang upstairs and went home.

The wave of layoffs in the agricultural machinery factory in the past two years has eliminated many non-professional workers, most of whom are women.

Later, the factory tried to find a way to solve some low-income jobs for them, such as watching bicycles in the bicycle shed, working three shifts a day, and paying ten yuan a day.

Although the money is not much, many people are still rushing to do it because it is easy and can subsidize the family.

Xu Yiyang's mother originally envied the job of watching bicycles downstairs.

This job is not tiring at all. While earning this money, I can also knit sweaters for sweater shops and earn some processing fees.

Being able to earn two jobs at the same time, without delaying the daily grocery shopping and cooking, is simply the best job she can think of.

However, this kind of work is an absolute shortage in the agricultural machinery factory. There are only three places for dozens of households in one building.

Xu Yiyang's father is a temporary worker and has no connections, and his mother is not a laid-off worker from an agricultural machinery factory, so she can only envy such a job.

...

When they got home, Xu's father and Xu's mother had already put on a posture, preparing for the three interrogation sessions.

Seeing the two brothers and sisters coming back together, Xu's mother said angrily, "Yangyang, I heard you opened a training class?"

Xu Yiyang smiled and said, "Mom, you know all about it?"

Xu's mother said: "You can do it! You don't even need to discuss such a big matter with your parents.

Just make it yourself? If it weren't for a little girl who worked together in a garment factory at the time, calling home and talking about this, I would have thought you were going out to set up some kind of English interest group! "

Xu Yiyang explained: "Mom, the English interest group is not too different from the English training class!"

"It's far away!" Xu's mother said, "How many times have I told you that your most important task now and the only task is to study hard and prepare for the college entrance examination. You don't need to worry about other things. Why don't you listen? You said that you are holding a training class at this time, if you delay the college entrance examination again, it will be a lifetime thing!"

Xu Yiyang knew that his mother would be angry if she found out about the training class.

That's why when he posted the advertisement, he deliberately avoided the area of ​​his own community, in order to avoid trouble as much as possible, and start the training class first.

At this time, Dad Xu on the side also sighed and said, "Yangyang, your mother and I both know that you want to share some pressure for the family, but now is really not the time. If you want to hold a training class, you can wait until the college entrance examination is over. Let’s do it during the summer vacation, why rush it for a while?”

After all, Xu's father said again: "Look, although our family's conditions are average, we don't lack any money now. Your mother still has the six thousand yuan you just gave me, and my father still has a salary, which is enough for the family. That's right, plus the little savings you made before, you don't have to worry about tuition fees and living expenses for the first year of university."

Xu Yiyang said: "Dad, my training class is only open for eight days. As soon as the winter vacation is over, the training class will end, so I won't delay my study."

At this time, Mama Xu said distressedly: "It won't delay your study, it will also delay your rest! You worked hard for half a year last semester, and finally you have a few days off during the winter vacation. Your graduating class only has a few days off in total. Your eight days I have to go to the training class, what if I am exhausted? I am exhausted because of the thousands of dollars in tuition fees, isn’t it picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon?”

Xu Yiyang said: "Mom, it doesn't matter if you have eight days of classes. I am so young and strong, so I will get tired when I get tired."

As he said that, he looked at his parents seriously, and said, "Also, I'm not doing it for thousands of dollars in tuition fees, but tens of thousands of dollars in tuition fees."

"What?" Dad Xu frowned, and asked subconsciously, "How many tens of thousands?"

"En." Xu Yiyang nodded and said, "There are 80 students in one class, and all eight classes are fully enrolled. There are a total of 640 students, and the tuition fee is 64,000."

Xu's father was shocked and speechless after hearing this, but Xu's mother's first thought was even more distressed.

"It's hard to take such a few days off. You are so good. You have to take more than 600 students and attend eight classes a day. How can your body bear it..."

Dad Xu also came back to his senses, and said, "Yeah, Yangyang, it's a good idea to open training classes to make money, but you can't make fun of your body, eight classes a day is too hard!"

Xu Yiyang asked his parents back: "Then think about it, how long do I usually go to school every day?"

As he said that, without waiting for his parents to answer, Xu Yiyang snapped his fingers and said: "Get up at six o'clock every morning, go out at six twenty, arrive at school around six forty-five, and then have morning reading class at seven o'clock, Then there will be four regular classes in the morning, each class lasts forty-five minutes, and it will be almost twelve o'clock after school at noon."

"At two o'clock in the afternoon, there will be four regular classes. After school, it will be almost six o'clock, and then it will start at seven o'clock. There will be three more classes for late self-study, and school will be over at half past nine. This is much more tiring than holding a training class."

Xu's mother said: "It's because I'm too tired from school, so I have to take the time to rest well during the holidays. Although our family doesn't have much money, you don't have to work so hard to make money. Your body is the most important thing..."

Xu Yiyang said seriously: "Mom, I'm so young, can I still not survive eight days?"

Xu's mother said: "You are teaching students for eight days in a row! Even if your body can bear it, your throat can't bear it either."

"I can bear it." Xu Yiyang said with a smile: "There are four speakers in the school's electronic classroom, and speaking with a microphone doesn't waste your voice at all."

After finishing speaking, Xu Yiyang put away his smile and said seriously: "Mom, it's not easy to make money in this world. Since I have the opportunity to make money, I want to make more money as soon as possible."

"Look, Shanshan and I will cost at least a hundred thousand from now until we both finish college, right?"

"Our house is old and small. Ever since Shanshan grew up, I don't have a bedroom myself. If I want to change to a bigger house and do a little decoration, I have to pay tens of thousands of yuan, right? "

"If I don't have the ability to make money, of course I won't try to do it, but isn't it just right now that I have such an opportunity, and I also want to share some of the burden for you and Dad, so don't stop me."

"Besides, you can't stop it now. All 640 students have signed up and are waiting for class. I can't go back on my word at this time, can I? The people in Yingzhou don't know what to say about me!"

Xu's mother was moved by her son's sensibility, her eyes turned red for a while, and she was a little speechless.

Xu's father also knew that the deal was done, and nothing could be changed by saying so much. Moreover, Xu Yiyang made so much money this time, he really surprised himself.

The per capita salary in Yingzhou announced by the municipal government is only more than 300 but less than 400. It is really scary to hold a winter vacation training class to earn 64,000 yuan.

So he sighed, and said: "Son, you have your own ideas, and Dad won't stop you, but you must pay attention to the balance between work and rest, so as not to hurt your body, and don't delay the college entrance examination."

Xu Yiyang nodded and agreed wholeheartedly.

Then, he took out all his cash from his pocket.

The more than 1,000 that I kept as a translator, plus the more than 5,000 that I didn’t have time to save today, and after deducting the money spent on buying a car for my sister, there are still more than 5,000.

He took out 500 yuan cash and some small change from it, and gave the remaining 100 yuan bills to his mother, saying: "Dad, Mom, you take the money first, and I have more than 50,000 yuan in the bank. I will keep the money first, and I will not give it to you for the time being. If there is any suitable opportunity to make money, I will directly use the money to operate. All to you."

In Xu Yiyang's mind, he was still thinking about the upcoming 5.19 stock market market.

If you catch this wave, even if you don't know how to operate short-term, you can double your funds by buying and buying casually.

If you add some short-term operations of selling high and buying low, it is not difficult to make a 200% return.

So before that, keep more money in your hands.

Xu's father and Xu's mother exchanged a few words in a low voice, and then Xu's father said seriously: "Yangyang, you have your own ideas and abilities, and your parents respect you. Our thinking may not be able to keep up with yours. It’s easy to hold you back, just do it according to your own ideas.”
