"Xiao Jin, come here and take a look. How about we prepare these gifts for your grandparents?" On the afternoon of the third day of the first lunar month, Xiang Jin was talking to her grandparents in the living room when her mother suddenly came to her.
She waved.
Xiang Jin walked over, picked up a box on the table and said, "The bird's nest cordyceps you prepared for them?"
Then her mother looked expectantly and said, "How is it?! Is it okay?!"
Xiang Jin said, "Not good!"
The expression on her mother's face froze, and her mother thought she was being too disrespectful, so she said, "There are more here. I heard your grandpa likes to drink. There are two bottles of this famous wine here, too tomorrow."
Take it to them."
Xiang Jin said, "Mom, you have misunderstood what I meant. I don't think the gifts you chose for them are bad, or even too light.
On the contrary, I think your gift is too heavy. My grandparents are not like the people you usually interact with. Those people are either rich people in the city or important officials of the government, or people like Mo
Grandma and Grandpa Zeng are people who have seen the world.
They are country people, out-and-out farmers, and their daily lives are very simple and plain. If you give them such expensive things, they will be very embarrassed and stressed, because they will feel that they cannot afford the gift.
.
Furthermore, if you have prepared such expensive gifts for them this year, what about next year, the year after that, and what about the future? Do you prepare them according to this standard every year?
Moreover, if you prepare gifts for them like this, the impact will not be good at that time. Some people like to think too much and also like to gossip. They think that if you give gifts to people so generously, how rich is your family? With so much money, you guys
Is the money legal?"
Xiang Jin suddenly felt annoyed, "Oh, I didn't think that carefully. I just thought that they are your grandparents, and they usually take care of you well, so I thought I should give them something good."
Xiang Jin said, "No, just give me some ordinary and practical things. They are not very particular people. What you give them is too expensive, and they will feel uncomfortable."
Xiang Jin and her grandmother also interjected, "Well, what Xiao Jin said makes sense. When choosing gifts for them, you have to choose something that doesn't seem to be very valuable, but is very practical and practical."
Xiang Jin's mother said, "Okay, then I'll go to the mall again tomorrow to choose something else." Then she looked at Xiang Jin again, "How about giving these to your Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo?"
Xiang Jin said, "You don't need the bird's nest and cordyceps. Grandpa Zeng and his family also have them. Last time, Manager Huang gave Yan Chen the bird's nest and cordyceps. Yan Chen gave them directly to his grandparents. Before, Uncle Tao came to replace Yan Chen and his grandfather.
When giving New Year's gifts, Yan Chen and his aunt also brought bird's nests and cordyceps, and they were also blood swallows.
There is no need for this wine. Grandpa Zeng had high blood pressure before, so he never drank. Every time Yan Chen and his grandfather gave them those famous wines, they just took them and put them there until guests came.
Let the guests drink it when serving, or use it to marinate meat and vegetables, for the purpose of removing fishy smell, sterilizing and disinfecting."
After hearing this, several elders in the family nodded suddenly, and then her mother said, "Then what are you going to give your grandpa Zeng and the others?"
Xiang Jin searched through the pile of gifts, finally picked out a few things and put them aside, "That's it."
Her mother was a little skeptical and said, "Isn't this too simple?"
Xiang Jin said, "No, Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng have everything in their house, and it's not like they haven't seen and eaten those expensive things before. To be honest, they're not that rare.
So these are the local specialties that have local customs and customs. Grandpa Zeng likes to eat them more, especially the local specialty products of various provinces and cities. He once joked to us that it would be great if he could eat them all over the country, so
If you give them these, they will definitely be more popular than if you give them those expensive medicinal materials, supplements, etc."
"Are you sure?!" her mother said.
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, sure, sure, don't worry, I definitely know them better than you do."
"Okay, then I'll listen to you. What about your Aunt Liao's?"
"Aunt Liao?" Xiang Jin lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then said, "I think we should choose some gifts for her that are easy for her to accept. If there aren't any here, then we can go to the mall tomorrow to choose some.
Then I will refer to the standards given to my two uncles."
"Oh, okay!" her mother responded, "then wouldn't there be no use for these things like ours?"
Xiang Jin said, "You can eat it yourself! Just eat it when you are on vacation. Let me tell you about this cordyceps sinensis. It contains a variety of nutrients and amino acids, which can improve the body's immunity. What about this bird's nest?"
Although it is the saliva of swallows, it is rich in protein, and eating it can whiten your skin."
Her mother said, "There are several boxes of these, how can I eat so much? Besides, I usually work a lot, so I don't have time to get these to eat. Dad, Mom, you'd better bring some to school."
Eat it, one is because you have time, and the other is, doesn’t Cordyceps enhance your immunity? It’s just right for you and Xiaojin to eat these, Xiaoxue, you can take some back to eat when the time comes.”
Ouyang Xue said, "I'll forget it, I'm too lazy to do it. The bird's nest is so troublesome to eat, and I have to find out the little fluff inside it one by one. I don't have the patience. I will be
If you want to spend your time on farming for Xiaojin, that is just for idlers to eat."
Xiang Jin's mother said, "It seems that you have really made plans?"
Xiang Jin and her aunt said, "That's right, I'm still so young and it's the time when I should start something career.
That Paul Korchagin said, the most precious thing in life is life. Life is only once for us. We should spend it like this: when he recalls the past, he will not regret for wasting his years, and will not regret for doing nothing.
ashamed.
I don’t want to continue to work like this step by step for the rest of my life, go to work at the same time every day, and get off work at the same time every day, doing things without any ups and downs, receiving a salary that is not enough for a month, and having to keep up with the people in the unit.
It's boring, very boring, for people to compete for a position with room for advancement.
It would be great for me to follow Xiaojin. She is the only leader above me, and I obey her deployment and arrangements. Maybe there is also Xiaochen, just two people. The interpersonal relationships below will not be too complicated, because
They will all be executors at that time."
Xiang Jin and her grandmother interjected, "You also know that a person's life is only once and cannot be wasted, so why don't you think about your personal issues carefully? You are still young now, only in your thirties.
You’re not even forty yet, so you can still do everything in time!”
Xiang Jin's aunt suddenly became a little impatient, "Oh Mom, they are talking about business right now. What are you talking about?"
Xiang Jin and her grandmother asked, "Isn't this a serious matter?"
Xiang Jin and her aunt were afraid that her mother would hold on to this matter, so she quickly surrendered and said, "Okay, okay, I know, I know, let's not talk about this now?"
Then she kept winking at Jin.
Xiang Jin received the signal, so he quickly smoothed things over, "In principle, as long as the operators do not make basic mistakes and do not violate or run counter to our decision-making philosophy, we will absolutely delegate power and will never dictate their work."
, everything is controlled by the operator himself.
So Auntie, you only need to remember one thing when the time comes, that is, the only result we want is to make money. Only when we make money will all our previous efforts be in vain."
Her aunt nodded her head and said, "Of course, of course, that's for sure! What else are you doing if you don't make money?"
Xiang Jin said again, "Oh, by the way, Auntie, Uncle Tao and Grandpa Zeng may go to Northern Xinjiang after the year. Do you want to go with them? They mainly go there.
People need to learn some planting techniques on sandy soil, and the second step is to introduce some melon and fruit varieties from there."
Xiang Jin and her aunt agreed without thinking, "Okay, okay, you can tell your Uncle Tao and Grandpa Zeng when the time comes. I will report my resignation to the company as soon as I get to work."
After they finished chatting about the business, Xiang Jin and her grandmother then said a concluding sentence, "Okay, let's take some of the cordyceps and bird's nests to school to eat. Your dad and I have the most time."
Then Xiang Jin's mother said again, "Hey, what about all the wine? No one in our family drinks! Xiao Jin's grandpa doesn't drink either, and it's not a good idea to have it at home like this."
Ouyang Bo said, "Otherwise, just give me the wine and I'll take care of it for you."
"How do you deal with it?" Xiang Jin's mother asked.
Ouyang Bo said, "Of course I'll give it to you in exchange for money and sell it to those tobacco and alcohol shops."
Her mother suddenly thought of something else, "Oh, by the way, Xiaojin, do you, Grandpa Zeng, and the others smoke? We still have a few of those good cigarettes at home. Let's bring two to them when the time comes."
Xiang Jin shook his head, "Grandpa Zeng and the others don't smoke."
"What about Xiaochen's uncle? Does his uncle eat cigarettes? If so, you can take two cigarettes with you?"
Xiang Jin shook her head again, "I don't know, I've never met his uncle." In fact, she had never met him at all.
Xiang Jin and her grandfather said, "It's okay. Just bring two with you when the time comes. Grandpa Zeng can call others if he doesn't want to eat. Anyway, they do business and still have to contact some people."
Xiang Jin and her grandmother nodded, "That's true."
Then Xiang Jin's mother said to Ouyang Bo, "Since you said that, I will leave these wines to you for disposal, and you won't have to give the money to your parents. I think you are also treating your sisters."
You are very enthusiastic about business and want to do something, so this money can be used as a little start-up capital sponsored by your parents."
When Ouyang Bo heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, "Really?! Oh, that's simply great." After saying that, he ran over and hugged his mother, gave her mother a quick kiss on the face, and then
He also kissed his dad on the face.
"President Xia, Secretary Ouyang, don't worry, I will live up to your sincere and ardent support for me! I don't want this money from you in vain, count it as a loan from you. When I earn the money,
I will pay you back!"
His father looked at him with a serious face and said, "You must always remember that your most important responsibility now is to give me a good education. Don't think about making money every day. It's you who make money now."
Time?"
Ouyang Bo was a little unconvinced, "Hey, Secretary Ouyang, what you said is a bit biased. Why can't I make money now? I should study hard? I think what you said should be right for Xiaojin.
To put it bluntly, she is now in her third year of high school, the most critical moment in her life, so she cannot be distracted."
Xiang Jin immediately quit, "Hey, you two, please don't involve me in your talk. My business started a few years ago, and it's on the right track now. There are people running it."
I don’t have to do anything to take care of it, we just wait for the monthly profit dividends to arrive.”
Xiang Jin's father said, "Yes, Xiao Jin is right. She doesn't need to take care of it. Someone will take care of it for them. What about you, you can't spend time doing it? By then, all your time will be spent on this.
Where do you have time to study?
If that's the case, what's the point of sending you to study? If you value that little money so much now, what future will you have? Ouyang Bo, let me tell you, after you graduate from a junior college, you still have to go to me
Get a bachelor’s degree!”
"Ah?!" Ouyang Bo suddenly had a bitter look on his face, obviously a little repelled by the idea of upgrading to a bachelor's degree.
"Ah, what? Don't you know that knowledge can change your destiny? Is a junior college diploma the same as a bachelor's degree? Let me tell you, if nothing else, the current employment standards of our municipal government units are all based on Gao Wenhua.
People with a certain education level go there, but those with an education level like a secondary normal school or technical secondary school are no longer popular in our unit.
If a country or a nation wants to progress, it must introduce a variety of highly educated and highly scientific and technological talents, and they must also be flexible-minded and highly educated talents, because they have received higher education and are open to new things.
They have strong abilities, broad vision, and active thinking. Only under the leadership of such people can our country develop and grow.
You said you want to be a boss in the future, and I don’t object to you becoming a boss, and I also believe you can be a boss. However, there are differences between bosses. There are big bosses and small bosses.
Why do they all start from scratch? Some people can quickly become a big boss who contributes to the country and the people, while some people can only be a small boss barely maintaining their own livelihood throughout their lives?
That's because many small bosses can only see the immediate interests of the other party, while those who are big bosses have a long-term strategic vision and an unusual understanding and view of a certain thing that is different from ordinary people.
While doing business, I also take into account reading and studying all the time. I am constantly absorbing knowledge from books and thinking about problems.
As the saying goes, you will live until you are old. If you read the same book at different ages, your understanding of it will be different. Do you think your junior college diploma is enough?
Not enough! Far from enough! I can tell you that the future era is an era of competition in science, technology and information. By then, perhaps even those undergraduates who graduated from prestigious universities will no longer be popular, and everyone will pursue people with a higher level of education.
For example, master’s students, doctoral students!”
Judging from her father's words, he is indeed a far-sighted leader. No wonder he took the top position in a prefecture-level city at the age of thirty-nine. It seems that he still has a lot of skills.
of.
He is now forty-one years old and has been in this position for two years. He still has three years to serve in this place. Department-level cadres of his age are already relatively young.
It is said that for people like them who are engaged in politics, if you are not promoted to the main position at the age of thirty-five or the main office at the age of forty-seven, then your career will most likely come to a halt. His father is now forty-one.
He has been promoted to the director level. It must be said that he has reached a new height in his life ahead of schedule, but it also reflects from the side that her father is indeed a very capable person.
Ouyang Bo didn't dare to go against his father, "Okay, okay, I didn't say that I should take care of it myself," then he looked at Xiang Jin, "Xiaojin, you and Yan Chen won't
Do you want to take over that piece of sandy land? How about I buy some stocks too?
Maybe I don’t have many shares, not even one percent of yours, but I want to give it a try. Auntie, aren’t you going to help Xiaojin and the others take care of it then?
Take mine with you?
Don’t worry, I don’t grow exotic products, just like them. I will grow what they grow. If you manage it in a unified way, it will be convenient to take care of it, right?”
Ouyang Xue laughed and said, "Okay, Xiaobo, you are really thinking very fast. You have decided on your aunt so quickly? I have really become a housekeeper for you two brothers and sisters."
!”
Several elders laughed heartily.
Ouyang Bo said, "Oh, don't worry, I will also pay your salary when the time comes. I will take care of your family, and I will take care of the two families. We will be together. You are one of our own, I don't worry."
"You brat," Ouyang Xue couldn't help laughing and scolding, and then said, "It's still very early for this matter. First, Xiaojin and the others need to confirm it."
Ouyang Bo interrupted, "Why didn't they confirm it? Uncle Tao and Grandpa Zeng are going to Northern Xinjiang for field inspection. Xiaojin, don't you think so?"
