Chapter 267: Changing the Life Trajectory of Mom and Dad(1/2)
Xinxin clothing store.
Lin Fang stood at the door, looking at the plaque in front of him, with a complicated mood.
It has only been a little over half a year since this store opened, but people and things have changed a lot.
"Is this the only store? The location is pretty good!"
Chen Yan commented softly.
Lin Fang nodded: "Well, I valued this location at the beginning and wanted to train Li Xinyuan, but I didn't expect that it would end up like this."
Chen Yan comforted: "This is not your responsibility. If this Li Xinyuan had a sense of proportion, he would never have the current result.
It was caused by himself.
In the old man's words, he doesn't have that blessing and can't control his wealth!"
Lin Fang laughed: "Then do you think I can control my wealth?"
Chen Yan snorted: "Then it depends on what kind of wife you can find, and whether you can control your wealth. The main thing is not the man, but the woman.
A man is a rake for catching money, and a woman is a jar for keeping money. It all depends on your own eyes!"
Lin Fang suddenly stopped talking.
It is really inappropriate to talk to Chen Yan about what kind of wife he wants to marry.
"Brother Lin, are you here? Who is this?"
When Li Xinyuan saw Lin Fang coming, he immediately greeted her. However, when he saw Chen Yan, he was extremely surprised at first, and then felt weird again.
Lin Zhang introduced generously: "This is Chen Ping, my cousin. I recently asked him to come over and take care of me!"
The name Chen Ping was said by Chen Yan when she was in the car. She said it was her real name. It was the name on her ID card and she could be called casually by others!
This is a problem that Lei Weiwei suddenly realized because of today's arrival.
As you live in that house for longer and longer, the house will be known to others sooner or later, so Chen Yan also needs a name to the outside world, and it is indeed appropriate to use her real name directly.
Li Xinyuan quickly asked: "Hello, Sister Chen! I'm sorry to bother you!"
After saying hello, Lin Fang asked directly: "Didn't you say that someone wants to sell the store, where is the person?"
Li Xinyuan immediately pointed to the upstairs and said: "I'm sitting up there!"
"You also said you have something to do with me, who are you?"
Lin Fang was indeed a little curious. Among the people he knew, he couldn't think of anyone who had the strength and vision to take over this store.
"A young couple, the man has the same surname as you, Lin Yongchang, and the woman is Cai Zhaodi, came to the store to buy jeans, and you said you were kind to me and gave you the cost price!"
Lin Fang was stunned when he heard these two names.
He really didn't expect that the people who wanted to buy this store were his parents in his previous life.
Lin Fang suddenly became a little confused. According to his memory, his parents never said that they had opened a clothing store.
He remembered that his parents had said before that when they first got married, his father regretted missing out on the stock subscription certificate, so he vowed to make more money, so he pooled his money and bought a 50-year-old tractor for transportation!
"Could it be that I changed their life trajectory?"
This problem obviously had no solution, and Lin Fang could only think about it in his own mind.
The three of them went upstairs, and Lin Fang saw at a glance the two people sitting there, who were the younger versions of his parents.
For a moment, the familiarity and intimacy in Lin Xin's heart came back to him again, and his nose felt a little sore.
He originally thought that he could keep his emotions and anger intangible, but when it came to face to face, he still couldn't resist the urge to call out "Mom and Dad" directly.
Fortunately, his father Lin Yongchang and mother Cai Zhaodi were even more excited than him. When they saw him coming up, they stood up hurriedly.
As for the abnormal emotion on his face, the other party didn't think too much about it.
In this way, Lin Fang's mood seemed to be relieved a lot, and he did not show any abnormality.
"Boss Lin, we meet again!"
Cai Zhaodi said quickly with a smile, and came up and hurriedly stretched out her hand to shake hands with Lin Fang.
Lin Fang immediately laughed. When the family of three lived together, he rarely saw his mother talking to him like this, which made him very interesting.
I shook hands with my mother, Cai Zhaodi, and then my father, Lin Yongchang, also came up and extended his hand.
"I heard from Boss Li that your business has grown bigger now, Boss Lin, and you have opened factories. I really admire you!"
Lin Fang held Lin Yongchang's hand and said with a smile, "It's all for making you laugh, it's all just messing around!"
Then Lin Fang introduced Chen Yan to the two of them, saying that she was his cousin.
Cai Zhaodi immediately came over to talk to Chen Yan, and everything she said was pleasant. After talking for a long time, Lin Fang didn't hear a word repeated.
He twitched the corner of his mouth, remembering when his mother had ever praised someone so much at home.
As for himself, he has never heard any praise, but he has heard others say that his mother often shows him off in front of outsiders.
Perhaps because of missing him, Lin Fang didn't directly ask about Pandian. Instead, he asked many random questions about his parents' current situation.
Only then did I realize that my memory was correct. My father was indeed planning to buy a 50 tractor right away for transporting goods between urban and rural areas in Hangzhou. I had already collected the money.
But this time I came to Shanghai for some other things, so I wanted to buy another pair of jeans.
It turned out that the store door was closed and the word transfer was posted on it.
This time, my mother, Cai Zhaodi, was tempted, and she took my father, Lin Yongchang, to discuss it.
After all, running a store is completely different from running a transportation business. You have to go back and forth for transportation. You can’t hide when it’s windy or rainy. You have to wait when there are road problems. If your car breaks down, you have to wait for repairs. You also have to make yourself smelly every day.
sweat.
But when you open a shop, you don't need to be exposed to the wind or rain. You are in the house every day, and you can dress decently, so it doesn't have to be that hard at all.
The key point was that they had been to this store, and they later learned that the owner had sold those pairs of pants to them without making any money.
This also lets them know the profit ratio in clothing.
Suddenly, the two of them could no longer suppress their thoughts and immediately knocked on the door and asked to take possession of the store.
The problem now is that they don't have enough money.
Li Xinyuan asked for 50,000 yuan, together with the remaining lease term of the house, all the items in the store, as well as decoration and existing pants.
It can be said that you can open a store directly after taking it over, and you can also have a place to live!
Things are good, but the problem is that they only have more than 20,000 on hand, which is still nearly half.
As a last resort, they remembered Boss Lin who was very good to them.
After learning these things, Lin Fang couldn't help but think of one thing: whether he should change his parents' original life trajectory.
Because if they don’t change, they will replace tractors with trucks in less than two years, and then slowly join forces with others to open a transportation company, rapidly expanding their scale.
In seven or eight years at most, it will become a very famous company in the transportation industry in Hangzhou, and then it will transform again and get better and better.
However, they had to endure a lot of hardships, and their father had encountered several life-and-death crises.
Although each time passed safely, Lin Fang still felt very scared when he thought about it.
If he helps now and changes their life trajectory, this will be a completely different path.
It is indeed much easier to open a store and do business, and it will also be much more respectable.
But it is not without risks.
For a moment, Lin Fang hesitated.
"Boss Lin, I know our demands are a bit excessive, but please rest assured that as long as you can agree, if you have any other conditions, just ask, and we will try our best to fulfill them!"
Lin Fang immediately knew that his parents had misunderstood, and quickly waved his hands and said: "Don't be nervous, you two.
I just thought about the difference between running a transportation business and opening a store.
Both ways of making money have their own ups and downs, and opening a store is not without worries. I want to ask you, are you sure you have thought about it?"
"Well, is there anything too hard about opening a store?"
Lin Yongchang obviously didn't think about this matter in depth.
Lin Fang smiled: "Of course, when opening a store, you must try your best to leave a good impression on every customer who enters the store, so that they can think of your store when they think of buying clothes.
Therefore, your service attitude must be good. Even when you encounter difficulties and are in a bad mood, you must not let the customers feel your bad mood, and avoid misunderstanding your personal opinions and views on them.
There is also the issue of speaking. We must avoid words that may cause misunderstandings and ambiguities. We must think about how to say the same words better and more easily accepted.
In addition, there are also the source of goods and safety issues on the way to order!”
Lin Fang listed many current situations in succession.
Although it wasn't too scary, it still made the two of them feel a sense of shock.
However, after being silent for a long time, her mother, Cai Zhaodi, made a decision directly: "I think it would be better to open a store.
Although there are difficulties, it is definitely better than us going for transportation.
We just need to pay more attention in the future!”
