It’s November.
Xiang Nan often rides a motorcycle and hangs out on the Hualin Expressway.
Because it was during this time period in the play that Wang Xiang rescued an orphan abandoned by his parents beside the railway tracks of the Hualin Line.
At that time, Wang Yang drowned in order to save Shen Mo. After the death of her son, Luo Meisu also lost the will to live and chose to hang herself.
With his wife and children separated and his family destroyed, Wang Xiang lost the courage to continue living and prepared to commit suicide by lying on the train. Unexpectedly, as soon as he lay beside the railway track, he heard the cry of a baby.
He walked over and took a look, and happened to see the swaddled baby. Seeing this baby gave Wang Xiang hope for continued survival. So he raised the child and named him Wang Bei.
And Wang Bei was also a very sensible child. He was very filial and considerate to Wang Xiang, which warmed him for the rest of his life, so Xiang Nan decided to help the child.
But he went all the way to December and still couldn't find the baby by the railroad tracks.
This made him confused for a while, but he figured it out later.
The person who put the baby on the Hualin Line must be a worker of Huagang. Because the factory shut down and the workers were laid off, they had no money to support them, so they chose to abandon them.
Now Huagang has not suspended operations, nor has it laid off workers, so workers still have income. And who would throw away his own son if he had a bite to eat.
Hence, it is not surprising that Wang Bei was not abandoned.
…
In 1999, in January, Xiang Nan’s house was renovated.
After that, Xiang Nan specially opened the windows for a month to ventilate the exhaust gas generated by the decoration.
By February, the new house was finally ready for habitation.
It happened that Shen Mo was on winter vacation at this time, so he and Xiang Nan moved into this new house.
“So beautiful~” she couldn’t help but admire.
You can see that the house is very beautifully decorated, with solid wood floors, decal wallpapers, crystal chandeliers, and surrounding light strips... It gives people a sense of elegance, luxury, and grandeur.
The house is also fully equipped with furniture and home appliances. Such as color TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, sofas...
It's no wonder that Xiang Nan spent 400,000 yuan to decorate this house, which is almost the same as the money to buy the house. It is naturally beautiful.
This was the first time that Shen Mo saw such a beautiful house, so he was naturally pleasantly surprised.
"How about it, doesn't it look good?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "From now on, this will be our home, aren't you happy?"
“Happy.” Shen Mo nodded.
She never thought she could live in such a beautiful house.
“Wang Yang, thank you.” She looked at Xiang Nan and thanked her from the bottom of her heart.
It was he who gave her such a beautiful home, a sheltered harbor that was enough to shelter her from the wind and rain.
"You're welcome." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, "It's not too late for me to be happy that I can do these things for you."
Hearing what he said, Silence was even more moved.
…
The Spring Festival of 1999 was spent secretly by Xiang Nan and Shen Mo in their new house.
They were preparing New Year's goods, cleaning, pasting Spring Festival couplets, setting off firecrackers, and were very happy.
“Sister, what a great brother-in-law.” After Fu Weijun came to see their new house, they both gave a thumbs up to Shen Mo.
“I know.” Shen Mo nodded. "Oh, this house is so beautiful. If I can live in a house like this in my life, I will be satisfied." Sui Dong looked at the house and said with envy.
He and Fu Weijun are still setting up shop in the video studio. Firstly, it is convenient to take care of the business, and secondly, the profit from the video studio is not enough for them to buy a house.
The video studio's current net profit per month is only a thousand yuan, which is not high. There is just enough for them to eat and drink, but it is difficult for them to develop.
"If you want to get rich, I'll teach you a way." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
“What method?” Fu Weijun and Sui Dong were very curious.
“Open an Internet cafe.” Xiang Nan smiled.
The late 1990s and the beginning of the new century were the golden period for the development of Internet cafes. Especially the Internet cafe opened in front of the school has no worries about business and is full every day.
At that time, there was a man named Wang Yuesheng in Zhongguancun. He saw that the Internet cafe business had very good prospects, so he spent money to open a small Internet cafe.
At the beginning, there were only 25 computers, but because the business was so popular, the cost was recovered in less than half a year and a second branch was opened.
Later, in less than three years, even one street was his Internet cafe, and it was known as "Internet cafe street". There are as many as 2,000 computers, and 16,000 netizens access the Internet every day.
So Xiang Nan knows that running an Internet cafe will definitely make money.
…
“What is an Internet cafe?” Fu Weijun and Sui Dong were both confused.
Xiang Nan smiled and gave them a brief introduction to science.
“We don’t know if it’s possible.” Sui Dong shook his head.
“What’s wrong? You’ve never opened a video parlor before. Aren’t you doing well now?” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"But buying a computer will cost a lot of money." Shen Mo said worriedly, "The cost of opening an Internet cafe will be too high."
At the end of the 1990s, computers were not yet popular, and they were expensive items. One computer cost tens of thousands of yuan. Even if you assemble it yourself, it won’t work if it doesn’t cost several thousand dollars.
To open an Internet cafe, you must have at least 20 or 30 machines. Based on the price of 7,000 yuan per machine, the upfront investment is 20,000 to 300,000 yuan. Not counting rent, water, electricity, internet fees, etc.
Xiang Nan nodded, "The cost is high, but the profit is also considerable. If you don't get into the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. I think you can still give it a try."
Well, I'll pay for opening the Internet cafe. After the Internet cafe opened, I owned half of the shares, and Xiaojun and Sui Dong shared half of the shares. When the Internet cafe makes money in the future, you will return the money to me one after another. "
Sui Dong and Fu Weijun were naturally eager to hear this.
"Wang Yang, you would be at a huge disadvantage." After hearing this, he said silently.
The initial investment was all Xiang Nan's. Fu Weijun and Sui Dong received dry shares for free, and then used profit dividends to repay Xiang Nan. This is not much different from giving them money directly.
"We are all one family, don't separate them so carefully." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Xiaojun is your younger brother, that is, my younger brother, so he can naturally help. Only then will he be able to help when he has a career. There is a better tomorrow.”
Fu Weijun is deaf and mute. He grew up in an orphanage and did not go to school for many years. His personal conditions can be said to be very poor. And there is no way to make a fortune from a video studio.
At that time, with his conditions, what kind of girl can he find, what kind of children can he have, and what kind of life can he live? One can imagine.
Therefore, a big man should not be without power for a day, and a small husband should not be without money for a day. As long as you have money, finding the best wife is easy.
Just like in the play, Fu Weijun fell in love with Yin Hong at first sight. But just because he has no money, Yin Hong would rather be with Ladybug Lu Wenzhong than with him.
This is the sorrow of the poor.
Seeing Xiang Nan say this, Silence thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
It is true that my brother can make a living by running that video parlor, but there is absolutely no chance of making a fortune. And with his education, skills, and personality, it would be difficult to find a good job.
So it is better to rely on Xiang Nan to help. By then, it will be a good thing if it becomes developed.
