My Courtyard Refuge

Twelve Falsehood Comes True

On the first night of their new home, when Xu Dong and his wife lay down on the bed, it was almost midnight.

Yang Lina was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep, when Xu Dong took out a small gift box from nowhere and stuffed it nervously into her palm.

“What is it that makes it so mysterious?”

Xu Dong didn’t speak, and motioned for the other party to open the gift box with his own hands.

===Section 9===

Yang Lina carefully unwrapped the wrapping paper, revealing a small square box the size of a fist, and couldn’t help thinking about it.

“Open it quickly.” Xu Dong urged.

“Crack…crack…”

Inside the box lay a sparkling diamond ring, which was exactly the pink diamond ring that Xu Dong bought for 300 before.

Yang Lina covered her mouth in surprise, and asked in a low voice, “Honey, is this a real diamond ring?”

“Of course it’s true.” Xu Dong stretched out three fingers, “It’s worth the amount!”

“Thirty thousand yuan?”

Xu Dong shook his head and reminded: “This is a two-carat pink diamond, how could it be worth only 30,000 yuan.”

Hearing this, Yang Lina quickly took the mobile phone from the bedside and searched quickly.

In less than a minute, she raised her head abruptly, and asked tentatively with a trembling voice, “Could it be three million?”

“Bingo…” Xu Dong snapped his fingers.

“Husband, you are crazy, why did you buy such an expensive thing?” Yang Lina couldn’t understand Xu Dong’s thinking for a while.

Xu Dong joked, “Honey, didn’t I tell you a long time ago that our family will never be short of money in the future. You have to adapt to the life of a rich man as soon as possible.”

“Bullshit rich man, you just got shit luck this time, but people won’t be lucky all their lives. If you spend money like this, our family will be ruined sooner or later.” Yang Lina said coquettishly.

Xu Dong was speechless when he was refuted, the reason is so reasonable, but he is a reborn after all!

He has already prepared the strongest foundation for this family, which is enough to cope with the big changes in the next few decades, and besides, he only loses the family once in a while, so it doesn’t hurt at all.

Yang Lina saw that her husband seemed to be overwhelmed, so she hit the rails while it was hot:

“Take the diamond ring and return it. The money returned will be used to open the supermarket. As long as the supermarket is run well, our family can gain a firm foothold in Yanjing.”

Xu Dong couldn’t hold back his wife, so he had to settle for the next best thing, and persuaded again: “Anyway, I bought it back, even if I want to return it, it won’t be able to return it in a short while, why don’t you wear it first, and wait until I find a good buyer… …”

Yang Lina quickly interrupted: “No, I’m not used to wearing such an expensive diamond ring. If it breaks, I’ll regret it to death. You’d better take it away!”

After speaking, cover the diamond ring box, and then gently put it on the bedside table.

As a woman, who doesn’t love jewelry?

It’s just that, as a mother of five children, Yang Lina has her own considerations. Her family is so decent now because of the great luck. She doesn’t want to leave any hidden dangers for the family.

Xu Dong had no choice but to hug his wife and punish her severely.

As for the ownership of the diamond ring, it seems that he can’t keep it anymore, but he just hopes that the value will not depreciate too quickly. After all, the water inside is very deep, and he will be extremely satisfied if he can get back 2.5 million.

…

Early the next morning, the first thing Xu Dong had to do was to get his household registration completed. In a few days, the school would start, and the children should not be delayed from going to school.

The household registration was rather troublesome, but fortunately, Xu Dong had prepared enough materials, and it only took one morning to complete the matter.

The new household registration book will take about a week, just in time for the start of school, so there should be no major problems.

After the household registration is settled, Xu Dong has to face a big trouble next, which is to open a supermarket.

Originally opening a supermarket was just a pretense, but I didn’t expect my family to pay so much attention to it, so Xu Dong had no room for maneuver.

Since it is irreparable, it can only be a fake show.

The next morning, Xu Dong showed up at the entrance of the small supermarket with Xu’s father in his car.

The supermarket is about one kilometer away from the courtyard house, and it takes only a few minutes.

Looking at the less than 80-square-meter store in front of him, Dad Xu’s disappointment was beyond words.

“this one?”

“That’s right, online shopping is very common now, and big supermarkets are risky and not worth it.” Xu Dong said plausibly.

Dad Xu is not easy to fool, “Then why are you hoarding so many goods, you can’t sell them all for decades, why wait for them to expire?”

The turnover of general small supermarkets, per dayProbably between a few thousand to ten thousand.

There are 60 million worth of goods stored in the basement, and they may really be sold for 30 to 40 years.

Xu Dong quickly used his brain, and soon found a new explanation.

“Uh, this is just the first one, and there will be dozens more in the future. Otherwise, with only one supermarket, you won’t even be able to earn back the tuition fees for Coco and Lele.”

“Open so many supermarkets at once, can you manage them?” Dad Xu questioned again.

“I opened this store before the New Year, mainly to train employees. After all, they are all small supermarkets with low entry barriers. Once you have experience, it will be much easier to expand later.”

Xu Dong forcefully explained based on his many years of work experience in logistics companies.

Father Xu finally nodded in satisfaction, at least his son didn’t just get hard on his head as soon as he got hot, and he could still clearly understand the difficulties.

Next, the father and son started to clean. The supermarket was not opened for more than two months, and the supermarket was covered with thick dust.

After cleaning, the father and son discussed the purchase again.

When I took over the supermarket, there were no commodities in the supermarket, and everything else was ready-made. Now, as long as the commodities are put on the shelves, the supermarket can be reopened immediately.

According to Xu Dong, the supermarket will focus on fresh food and food in the future. The price of the products will be between that of a large supermarket and a vegetable market. The customers will be mainly young office workers.

You may lose a little before doing this, but after the Spring Festival, you will definitely make a lot of money.

Either don’t do it, or do it to the best. This is Xu Dong’s life creed.

Dad Xu disagreed, thinking that the loss rate of fresh products is not easy to control, and it is easy to cause losses. It is better to be safe and buy more daily necessities.

In the end, Xu Dong successfully persuaded his father, the reason is very simple, most of the goods hoarded in the basement of the family are food, and there is a lot of pressure to destock.

On the way home, Dad Xu was still complaining that Xu Dong didn’t know how to do business and had a backlog of too many goods.

Xu Dong said that risks and opportunities coexist. At the beginning, he took over other people’s inventory, and the price was very low. As long as the operation is good, the profit prospect is very considerable.

Xu Dongyue said that he was more happy, and he had heard a lot of inside stories in the logistics company before, so he was running the train with his mouth full.

“I have vacuum-sealed all the products. The shelf life is not a problem. The big deal is that they will be disassembled and sold in bulk. If there is a discount at that time, everyone will rush to buy them.”

Dad Xu saw the ugly face of a capitalist this time, and didn’t know what to say for a while.

In the end, he only replied dryly: “In business, you must be honest.”
