"Wen Jing, please eat slowly. No one is trying to compete with you, so if you don't have enough, don't call me. Your sister Dandan is treating us today, so I'll definitely take care of it!"
Zhou Yiping concealed his inner turmoil and helped with the dishes.
Yang Dan on the side saw this, understood it, and asked softly: "Wen Jing, two days ago, your brother was still telling me that you are twenty this year, and you want me to introduce you to a girlfriend!
"
Song Wenjing, who was enjoying his meal, stopped quickly when he heard this.
It had only been a few months since he broke up with Yang Lili. From the inside, he had tossed and turned many times at night, unable to sleep due to the failure of his first relationship.
He also reflected on his own problems and complained to Yang Lili's father. But all of this was irreversible and could only be hidden in his heart and gradually forgotten.
Now that Yang Dan suddenly mentioned this topic, it was hard for him to accept it. He had no such plan yet.
I am already so busy that I have no time to talk about so-called love.
"Sister Dandan, please don't do it. If a girl likes me as a rag collector, then don't waste your efforts. Don't embarrass you all." Song Wenjing refused.
Of course, Zhou Yiping and Yang Dan's intention was not to help Song Wenjing find a girlfriend. Song Wenjing was only twenty, so they were not too anxious. In fact, their main purpose was to hope that Song Wenjing could change to a more relaxed job. They had even looked for him privately.
If you ask for help, they will basically agree to it.
"Wen Jing, if you don't mention collecting rags, I can't say much. But since you mentioned it, I think it's necessary to talk to you." Zhou Yiping put down his chopsticks and said seriously.
Seeing his cousin speak so formally, Song Wenjing did not dare to say more. He just stared at Zhou Ping blankly, waiting for him to continue.
"I didn't approve of you collecting rags at the beginning, but I couldn't help you find a good job for a while, so I let you do it temporarily. But after more than a year, look at you, you are...
What have you become? You are only twenty, don't make yourself look like you are thirty or forty."
Song Wenjing touched his cheek with his hand, looked at his hands, and smiled awkwardly.
When I just graduated from high school, I still looked like a white-faced scholar. Although my appearance was not very handsome, I could still be considered square. But now, this appearance is indeed a bit unsightly.
Everyone has the love for beauty. But Song Wenjing had suffered enough in his previous life. In this life, he focused more on making money and had no time to take care of other things.
"I met the director of a washing powder factory some time ago. Something happened to his relatives, and he asked me to help resolve it. He owed me a favor. I made an agreement with him, and he agreed to arrange for you to go to work.
Formal establishment, monthly salary starts at least 70 yuan.”
Song Wenjing had planned to change his career to make money, but he had never thought about working in a state-owned unit.
Although state-owned units can still be regarded as iron rice bowls, with guaranteed income during droughts and floods, he knows that in a few years, most of these units will be eliminated by the market.
Moreover, now he no longer cares about such a small salary. He needs to earn more money to lay the foundation for the future.
"Cousin, I'm really thinking about changing my job during this time."
When Zhou Yiping heard this, he immediately became happy. Just as he was about to say something, Song Wenjing waved his hand, "I haven't finished speaking yet. Wait until I finish speaking, and you can take a look, okay?"
Zhou Yiping glared at him angrily.
Song Wenjing didn't care at all and continued to talk about the topic just now.
"Although I plan to change jobs, I will definitely not go to those state-owned units. I plan to be self-employed. Now the policies are gradually loosening a lot. You can see that there are more and more self-employed people on the street. I also plan to try it myself.
Do some business."
"Oh? So tell me, what do you plan to do?"
Zhou Yiping knew that his cousin had always been very independent. Now that he had decided to change his profession and no longer continue to collect rags through wind and rain, he had already made a change.
As for whether you have to work in a state-owned unit, Zhou Yiping doesn't have much opinion.
In fact, Song Wenjing was also hesitating. During this period, he himself was also investigating and wandering around frequently. At present, he is mainly focusing on two areas, one is a clothing store; the other is a video hall.
Yu County, a subsidiary of Shuzhou City, had established a garment city as early as 1985. At present, although the scale is not very large, it has attracted a lot of funds to invest.
If Song Wenjing wants to open a clothing store, he can definitely get the goods from there. It won't require a lot of funds, and it's convenient. All he has to do is find a place with a lot of traffic and rent a storefront.
But after Song Wenjing's inspection during this period, he discovered that since the second half of last year, people opening clothing stores have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
That's not to say that you can't make money. The current market supply is less than demand. If you really put some thought into it, you can definitely still make money.
But the question is how much money he can make. If he hasn't made much money collecting rags, he might as well continue doing his old job.
On the other hand, there is the issue of opening a video studio.
In fact, around 1985, video halls had already entered the domestic market. At first, they were mainly popular in some coastal cities, and now they have also entered the inland market.
For example, in the Shuzhou area, there was no so-called video parlor in 1988. But last year, there were at least three in the urban area.
At present, this industry makes money quickly and the competition is not fierce.
As long as you have certain connections, go through the relevant procedures, and then rent a room in a crowded place, you can open it.
As for equipment, a TV, a video recorder, and a set of stereos can basically meet the requirements.
These devices can now be purchased directly in southern cities, and there are even many film sources.
The main reason why Song Wenjing considered the video studio was because of Yi Ping's identity as a police officer.
If you want to open a video studio, you naturally need to be able to handle both black and white. Especially with the police station in your area, you must have a good relationship.
If Zhou Yiping can help, Song Wenjing believes that this business will definitely be profitable.
When Song Wenjing informed Zhou Yiping and Yang Dan of his thoughts, Yi Ping was still pondering, but Yang Dan was the first to express his position.
"Wen Jing, I support you. If you need any help from us, just say it. If the early procedures are difficult to handle, I will help find someone. There is no problem with that."
In the 1990s, if you wanted to open a video studio, the procedures in various departments were essential. If someone in the middle wanted to block you, it could be delayed for several months or even half a year.
Zhou Yiping glanced at Yang Dan, and then said: "Wen Jing, I know what you are thinking. In addition to funds, the main reason for opening a video studio is that there may be some troubles in the later period. In this regard, you must be mentally prepared.
There are some things that I can help you block, but there are some things that I can't do."
Song Wenjing was about to nod, but unexpectedly, Yang Dan on the side was not happy, "Yiping, you are so pretentious. This is my cousin, and we are the only cousins. We have to help who should be helped. It is not convenient for you to talk.
I’m going to find someone.”
Yi Ping had just joined the Criminal Investigation Detachment for less than a year, and he didn't have much of a position. He could do some greetings, but some things were really beyond his capabilities.
Song Wenjing could understand his cousin's concerns and would not force anything.
Now, Yang Dan took over everything, which surprised him. After all, Yi Ping and Yang Dan were not married yet. This was Song Wenjing's private matter. He really didn't expect that Yang Dan would take over everything.
Yang Dan does not hold any position in the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Bureau. But the problem is that she has a father who is the executive deputy director of the Municipal Bureau. If she helps with some things, it will definitely be more effective than Yiping Ping.
"Sister Dandan, will this make it difficult for you? Will your father have any ideas at that time?"
Yang Dan waved his hand directly and said: "Wen Jing, this is not a big deal. You don't need to worry about my dad. Just listen to my sister. By the way, it seems to cost a lot of money to open a video studio. You have so much money.
