Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 219
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xue Ling didn't go to the development zone much and stayed in the suite most of the time.

Do some translation, take a walk, and wait nervously and excitedly for the birth of the baby.

Cheng Tianyuan came back to stay with her after he shipped the goods, not daring to leave her alone at home.

"The doctor said that you may give birth at any time. If you do, but I'm not here and there's no one else to help you... I'm really worried."

Xue Ling rubbed her pointed belly, moved with difficulty, and sat in another position.

"My stomach has been getting worse and worse in the past two days. I can't sit well or sleep well, especially I can't sit for a long time."

Cheng Tianyuan helped her stand up and said warmly: "Let's take a slow walk at home."

The suite is very spacious, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, and enough space for her to take a walk.

Xue Ling explained with a smile: "My mother said that she has already booked a flight. She will get on the plane at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow and arrive around eleven o'clock at noon."

"I will drive there in advance and go directly to the airport to pick her up." Cheng Tianyuan said, "I should be home at around four in the afternoon."

"Don't be in a hurry, drive slowly." Xue Ling was very excited, "I haven't seen my parents for almost nine months... Fortunately, I have a phone now, so I can call them often."

Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but said: "Daughter-in-law, I've been thinking about whether to bring our phone home for the past few days. You see, you will be confinement at home, and you can't always be in a clothing store."

Xue Ling frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "No way, that's just an office phone number. I'll have to use it when I go to wholesale clothes there in the future."

How great it would be to have a mobile phone!Carry it with you at any time and shoot whenever you want, of course under signal conditions.

Cheng Tianyuan thinks so.

Xue Ling smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, what you said reminded me. The development zone is not far from here. Go to the telecommunications office and ask if you can connect us to an extension."

"What is the extension...?" Cheng Tianyuan asked curiously.

Xue Ling explained: "A phone number can have multiple extensions, and they share the same number. As long as someone dials in, all extensions can receive it. When dialing out, any extension can be used."

Cheng Tianyuan was overjoyed and said, "That's great! Install one at home, and you don't have to worry about missing calls from there. But - that extension shouldn't be expensive, right?"

"It's not expensive. I guess the line will be a little more expensive." Xue Ling didn't care about such a small amount of money and explained: "If you miss a business, the loss may be thousands or even tens of thousands. Communication is very important, and this money is still available. I really can’t save it.”

After hearing this, Cheng Tianyuan said, "Then I'll go to the telecommunications office in the afternoon to have a look."

Xue Ling quickly reminded: "Bring a few packs of cigarettes. Although the master works for a salary, it's not strange to be polite to many people. He will be happy to work for us when the time comes."

"Okay." Cheng Tianyuan remembered.

After the two had lunch, Xue Ling took a walk and read a book, while he drove to the telecommunications office.

Installing an extension is not as troublesome as installing a telephone, and there is no application process. After Cheng Tianyuan gave him a cigarette and explained his purpose, the two masters immediately followed him to the development zone.

In the evening, there was an extra extension at home.

After Liu Ying came back, she asked in surprise: "Are you pretending to have one more person? Doesn't that cost a lot of money?"

"No need." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "After paying the money, it costs 20 yuan with such a long line."

Liu Ying laughed and whispered: "But why do they look exactly the same to me?"

Xue Ling didn't know how to explain it to the old man, so he had to say: "This plastic landline can be replaced at any time, but there is only one phone line. We didn't buy a number this time, we just bought this landline to install the line."

Liu Ying still didn't understand, and said: "It's good if it works. Grandma is an old antique and can't accept such new gadgets. Old antiques can only drag people down and like to nag." Xue Ling smiled and said, "Mom , Old antiques are the most valuable!”

Cheng Tianyuan and Liu Ying both laughed.

Cheng Muhai did not come back with Liu Ying tonight and stayed over at the store.

Chen Min has been living on the second floor, taking care of some of the goods, while Cheng Muhai is looking at the warehouse. There are people up and down, and he is not afraid of thieves coming to steal things.

Recently, two factories have opened canteens, which are not large in scale. I heard that they are run by the factories and sell them to some relatives and friends through bidding.

However, the items sold are more expensive than outside, so the workers would rather walk a few more steps. Anyway, "Café Coral" is opposite the development zone, only a few hundred meters away.

Cheng Tianyuan knew that this would happen sooner or later, "Not only that, there will definitely be people opening small restaurants and small shops here in the future. We must insist on low prices and good quality, and operate with integrity, and we will definitely be able to compete with others."

"Yes." Xue Ling explained: "We are our own store. We don't need to rent or tender to pay. The cost is lower than others. As long as the price is not high, customers will have sharp eyes and know where to go."

Liu Ying shouted: "I'm going back to the next door, don't close the door. Just now Ahu said that he was coming over to your side, and it seems he took something."

"Okay!" Cheng Tianyuan left the door ajar.

There are only two of their own households at this elevator entrance, and there are security guards outside the community, so they don't have to worry about people with evil intentions coming in and out.

After a while, Ahu came in a hurry.

"Sister-in-law, I have several things to report to you!"

Xue Ling couldn't help but laugh, "Why do you still use the word 'report'? It makes me seem like a big leader!"

Cheng Tianyuan suppressed his laughter and poured Ahu a glass of water.

"Is it something about the photo studio?"

Ahu laughed loudly and said: "Sister-in-law, you are my boss now. The one who gives me orders and pays me money, you are my big leader! That's right!"

Xue Ling invited him to sit in the living room and asked, "How are things going?"

It's been several days since the Mid-Autumn Festival. I heard from Cheng Tianyuan that Ahu and Liu Xing have been very busy recently, going in and out, looking for a place to rent in Rongcheng.

Ahu quickly replied: "It's almost ready. Now we just need to send over the photo washing machine. When we went to order it, the director of the factory said that the parts are all ready-made. We just need to assemble them for trial use and add something else." Just send the photos and add them, and you can pick them up in about half a month."

"What about the others?" Xue Ling asked.

Ahu replied: "Liu Xing and I searched for several days in the old and new urban areas, and finally found a very suitable location. It is surrounded by residents and the place is quite new. There are two shops and a small attic. The place is still It's quite generous. I went to bargain earlier and negotiated a monthly rent of 50 yuan."

"Have you signed a long-term contract?" Xue Ling asked.

Ahu replied: "If we tentatively decide for one year and pay half a year in advance, the landlord will be very happy."

Xue Ling frowned when he heard this and explained: "One year is too little. Is the landlord willing to sell the shop? If possible, we should buy it directly. What we want to do is a long-term business. First, we must consider the fixed investment in the store, and secondly Second, we must consider whether customers can remember the store address. Being able to fix a store is also a kind of advertisement. It must either last for about five or ten years, or you must find a way to buy it. It is best to sign a long-term contract for ten years. "

Ahu suddenly nodded and muttered: "This... we didn't think that carefully."

He thought for a while and said: "Then I will ask the landlord tomorrow to discuss whether I can buy it. That place is quite good. Even if it is not opened after buying it, it would be good to rent out the store."

"No, try to make a long-term appointment." Xue Ling replied: "Buying a store is no better than buying a house, and the interests in the future cannot be guaranteed."
