Chapter 3888 3890【Small Commodity Market】
After Xiang Nan applied to many colleges and universities in the United States in September, he received admission notices from many schools in November.
Among them are well-known universities such as Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and Princeton. After Xiang Nan considered it, he finally chose Stanford University.
Because this school is located in the San Francisco Bay Area, close to Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley will be the center of global technology in the next few decades. Apple, AMD, HP, Cisco, Intel, NVIDIA, Oracle...these companies are all headquartered in Silicon Valley.
Many of these companies were founded by alumni of Stanford University. The so-called first-come-first-served position means that they are close to Silicon Valley, so it is naturally easier to seize business opportunities.
Furthermore, Xiang Nan also prefers the sunshine and air in California.
After choosing Stanford University, he then started to apply for a passport and visa.
…
While Xiang Nan was busy with these things, in September, the first-generation small commodity market was officially built in Yiwu. This small commodity market was won over by Chen Jinshui to Chenjia Town.
Firstly, Chenjia Town has a train station and the transportation is more convenient; secondly, the villagers of Chenjia Town are more enthusiastic, active and proactive in fighting for this project.
"He is a sock seller who sells socks in the small commodity market. His name is Luo Yuzhu. He is very smart and capable. He and Brother Ji Feo are probably strangers." Qiao Gu explained.
This gave Chen Jinshui and Chen Jiazhen a chance to perform.
Comparatively, other villages and towns still have a wait-and-see attitude. They think that setting up a small commodity market is relatively bold, radical and risky, and they dare not support it rashly.
“Brother Daguang, do you really want to go abroad?” Chen Qiaogu asked in surprise when she learned about Xiang Nan.
Including needles and threads, clothing, shoes and socks, snacks, furniture and home appliances, hardware and department stores, etc. It is quite complete and quite lively.
Many families have bought TVs, electric fans, bicycles, even tractors, motorcycles, etc. It can be said that they have replaced their guns with guns.
And Chenjiacun is naturally the first to get the first-come-first-served position near the water, and many villagers have made money through doing business. The villagers who made money also lived a better life.
When the design of the first-generation small commodity market was started, the plan was to cover an area of 4,000 square meters and have a total of 705 stalls. But I soon discovered that my steps were still slow.
…
“Actually, I have always regarded Brother Ji Feo as my older brother. Brother Ji Feo also has a partner and has no intention of marrying me. It’s just that my father is messing with the relationship.” Qiao Gu added.
Chen Jinshui has always regarded Chen Jianghe as his son-in-law. Now Chen Jianghe is twenty-two and Qiao Gu is twenty-one, and they have reached the age of marriage, so Chen Jinshui made arrangements for the two to get married.
In December 1982, Xiang Nan returned to Yiwu to apply for a passport.
The people's enthusiasm for doing business is very high. More than 700 stalls were sold out just after they were launched. There is simply not enough space. Finally, it expanded to more than a thousand stalls, selling more than 2,000 types of goods.
"Ji Feo has a partner? Who is it?" Xiang Nan asked curiously, "Does Uncle Jin Shui know about this?"
In addition to the locals in Yiwu who often come to visit, there are also businessmen from other places who come from far away to buy goods. As a result, the small commodity market has just been completed, and the annual transaction volume has reached 9.8 million yuan, which is quite gratifying.
“Then what should I do? My father is already urging me to marry Brother Ji Feo.” Qiaogu said worriedly.
"Yes, the admission notice has arrived. I am now applying for a passport and visa. I will go there in August next year." Xiang Nan nodded.
It's no wonder that Chen Jianghe and Luo Yuzhu are the same type of people. They are both bolder, more thoughtful, and more willing to endure hardships. It is normal for people of the same **** to attract each other. This is called congeniality and harmony.
"Yes, they all took a fancy to a batch of scraps from the clothing factory and planned to buy them to make mops, so they had a fight and ended up not knowing each other. Later, Luo Yuzhu came to the market to sell socks, which happened to be next to it. Brother Ji Feo’s glove stall, so they got closer and closer,” Qiaogu explained, “But he didn’t dare to tell my father, but in fact everyone knew it, and I had seen it many times.”
"Yeah." Xiang Nan nodded, "I'm going to propose marriage to Uncle Jinshui tomorrow. You ask Brother Ji Feo to wait at home. I'll try to get married to you before I go to the United States."
“Really?” Qiaogu said in surprise.
"Of course it's true. If I lie to you, I'll be struck by thunder..." Xiang Nan immediately expressed his stance.
He was also afraid that Qiaogu would get into trouble over the years he had been abroad, so it was better to get married and come home as soon as possible.
"Okay, okay, I believe in you, don't swear such a vicious oath." Qiao Gu quickly covered his mouth.
Xiang Nan laughed when he heard this.
…
That evening, Xiang Nan mentioned to Chen Jintu and Zhang Jiuxiang that he wanted to marry Qiaogu.
Neither Chen Jintu nor Zhang Jiuxiang was very happy.
Because Xiang Nan is a college student, Qiaogu has just graduated from elementary school; Xiang Nan is a city man, and Qiaogu is a country girl; Xiang Nan is a well-known writer, and Qiaogu is nameless.
From all aspects, Qiaogu is not worthy of her son. Xiang Nan could obviously marry someone better, so why did he have to marry Qiao Gu?
“Dad, Mom, Qiaogu and I are in love, and this matter is settled.” Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, “Qiaogu is beautiful and virtuous, what’s wrong with being a daughter-in-law?”
"There are so many good women, son. With your current status and reputation, you should marry someone from the city. Someone who is powerful in the family will be able to help you in the future. If you marry Qiaogu, Qiaogu can Help you?" Chen Jintu explained.
"I don't need anyone to help me. Growing up, who did I rely on for help? What I have achieved today is all on my own." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "It doesn't matter if the family is powerful, I still look down on it. Woolen cloth.
I just hope to find a virtuous, considerate, and gentle wife who can help me take care of the house. Is that kind of powerful disciple okay? "
"Qiaogu is uneducated and not very good-looking. Why are you obsessed with her?" Zhang Jiuxiang advised, "Let's choose another one. Are there no good ones among your classmates? Besides, aren't you going abroad? It’s okay to find one abroad.”
“That’s right.” Chen Jintu also agreed.
"Oh, let's not talk anymore, Qiao Gu's matter is settled." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "I will propose marriage to Uncle Jin Shui tomorrow and try to get the marriage done before I go abroad.
By then, if I can take root in the United States, I will take you and Qiaogu over, so that you can also experience the decadent capitalist life in the West. "
“Son, think again and don’t decide so early.” Chen Jintu said quickly.
"Yes, son, we can't decide this matter so quickly." Zhang Jiuxiang also said.
Xiang Nan ignored it.
He told Chen Jintu and Zhang Jiuxiang about this matter, just to inform them, not to discuss it with them.
Chen Jintu and Zhang Jiuxiang looked at each other in shock when they saw him like this, but there was nothing they could do.
Because my son has the most upright ideas since he was a child. He takes care of everything by himself and has more ideas than their elders. Especially after going to college, he became more capable and more famous, and he and his wife couldn't control it at all.
