Reborn 80s

Chapter 22
Seeing the house that had been passed down from generation to generation burn to the ground, Lin Genquan wished he could rush into the sea of ​​flames.

Neighbors all rushed to fetch water to put out the fire, but without professional fire-fighting equipment, it was futile.

Watching the fire quietly devour the house, Lin Genquan finally gradually understood that his ancestral house might not come back.

As the youngest next door, Lin Genquan's two elder brothers loved his younger brother dearly. When he became an adult, he moved out and rebuilt the house by himself, leaving the family's ancestral house to his younger brother.

This is why Lin Genquan is not very happy to move out of this home. This is the place where he was born and raised all his life, and he got married and had children here.

He naturally thinks that his roots are in this house.

Now they are all reduced to ashes.

When Lin Gensheng heard that his younger brother's house had been burned, he hurried over with Lin Baoshan to see if he could help.

When I arrived, the house was almost burnt to the ground.

Lin Genquan's family of five could only stand outside in a daze during the winter, without even a place to spend the night.

I had no choice but to take my younger brother's family back to my home, settle down temporarily, and make plans for the future.

Fortunately, since running the business, the Lin family has consciously deposited money in the bank. There is almost no cash at home. Except for the goods that Lin Youfu bought from his trip to the south this time, the rest are almost old guys. Counting the material losses suffered It's actually not that big.

After discovering that the house was on fire, Lin Dashan immediately went to the local police station to report the incident. Immediately after visiting the scene, neighbors recalled that a rogue surnamed Lin wandered nearby that night, and the matter was figured out with little effort.

As arson is a serious criminal offense, he will naturally receive the punishment he deserves.

However, there is still no conclusion on where Lin Genquan's family should go.

After the new year, the two members of the Lin family sat down together and discussed this issue. Lin Genquan wanted to rebuild the house on the original site, but Lin Youfu wanted to take this opportunity to move to the city.

For a while, the two masters had a dispute because of this matter, and Ji Huizhen, who was in a hurry, quickly became a peacemaker.

Lin Genquan sighed and said.

"Blessed, Dad knows that what you said is reasonable. Of course, there are many advantages to moving to the city. It can save a lot of time whether it is buying goods or running a business. But, don't talk about your dad. I have lived here all my life, your second uncle's family is here, and most of the folks who run business with us also live here, we move to the city, what will happen to those relatives?"

Lin Youfu opened his mouth when he heard this, but he didn't know how to refute.

"Father, I think we should move to the city for the sake of these folks who run business with us."

Facing the surprised eyes of the whole room, Lin Qiu paused, collected his thoughts and continued.

"In a few years, not only our village, but people from other places will also think of this way to get rich. There will be more and more people running business, and the competition will probably become bigger and bigger by then. At that time, if we want to rely on us to faint and sell the goods like this again and again, the money will only get less and less. When that day comes, the folks who work with you and the second master will probably want to be like today It’s hard to make money.”

Lin Gensheng looked at Lin Qiu and fell into thought. He knew that what his niece said must be right.

Even this way of making money was originally proposed by Lin Qiu.

After working for so long, seeing more and more people carrying large and small bags on the train running the business, he sometimes secretly worries about how long he can continue to do this.

Although there is still a great demand in Russia, the goods brought over are always sold out within a short period of time.

However, the situation Lin Qiu mentioned is only sooner or later.

Lin Gensheng frowned and asked, "Qiu'er, according to what you say, what should we do?"

Lin Qiu raised his eyebrows, and gave his second brother a wink, "Actually, it's easy to solve. Let's move to the city, and these things will naturally be solved."

Looking at the expressions of disbelief in the whole room, Lin Qiu straightened his face and asked, "Father, Second Master, we are running a business now, and we all go to the market alone to buy a bunch of things, carry a bag and take the train to Russia, and then sell them. Drop it, right?"

The whole family showed blank expressions, not understanding what Lin Qiu wanted to express.

"Assuming that a person can take 50 old shirts in one trip, he needs two train tickets, right? According to this calculation, 500 old shirts need 20 train tickets. However, if we transport a train compartment of old shirts, we only need one People are guarding, even if you don’t need people to be guarding, is the rest just extra money?”

Lin Youfu was indeed the most business-minded person in the family, he stood up abruptly and said.

"I understand what my little sister means. If we assign a special person to be responsible for all the things, like me this time, we can contact the factory and find someone to be responsible for the transportation. When we go to Russia, we will only be in charge of sales, and the quantity will be raised. If you go up, then even if you earn less money for one piece, we can still buy it and make money."

Lin Qiu nodded in satisfaction, that's the way it is.

When the cake can no longer grow bigger, it is natural to seize more shares.

When the foreign trade company is established, it can register a branch in the local area, and even branch out to the front-end production and acquire several manufacturers.

Then the Lin family will be able to stand proudly in the tide of the times in the next few decades.

In the next few decades, China's foreign trade will usher in the longest spring. With a long-term trade surplus, being able to hold foreign exchange is simply a sure thing.

Due to the appearance of the demographic dividend, the most profitable fields will mainly be concentrated in labor-intensive industries such as textiles, clothing, toys, and electronic products.

It is best to acquire several such industries as early as possible to grow yourself before the market is saturated.

Of course, a lot of start-up capital is needed to achieve this. Although the money saved by running a business during this period is objective, it is only for the storage of a family.

Putting it as the start-up capital to promote the establishment of a commercial entity is simply out of sight.

But it doesn't matter, with a small fortune, the opportunity to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle is coming soon.

Realizing that his thoughts had strayed away from Lin Qiu, he quickly came back to his senses. These are things that need to be done slowly. There is no rush. The top priority is to get to the city and set up the company's shelf.

"Second brother is right, father, although we have been able to live well by running a business these few years, it is not a long-term solution. If you want to help the folks get rich for a long time, we have to become bigger and stronger, right? ?”

Lin Gensheng spoke suddenly.

"Genquan, I think what Youfu and Qiu'er said makes sense. As the saying goes, trees are moved to death and people are moved to live. Now that we have taken the road of running a business and brought so many old folks with us, we must do it. Make a show and don't embarrass our ancestors for generations. Do you think this is the reason? I think so, why don't both of you and I move to the city? In a few years, Qiu'er will have to go to high school, I see It should be prepared early. What do you think?"

Ling Genquan didn't say anything for a while, his brows were frowning enough to kill mosquitoes.

Finally he spoke.

"Second brother, after the new year, we two will go to the city to look at the house first, and put our feet down first. When the new school year starts in the second half of the year, Qiu'er will be transferred to another school, and our whole family will move to the city."
