Reborn 92's Business Tycoon

Chapter 476: Chapter 476: It's useless to study

Feeling dizzy and with a dry throat, Feng Yiping pushed away the leg that was pressing against his own and sat up, noticing that Wang Changning was lying on his back in a tangled mess at the other end of the bed.

It was a bright sunny day outside, and it seemed that they hadn't slept until nightfall.

The whole room was filled with the smell of alcohol. He picked up his phone and saw Xu Bin's number. 'Mr Xu,' he said as he opened the window, 'what's up?'

'Yiping, you're still here, right? We just want to talk to you about the loan,'

Feng Yiping shook his head, still feeling dizzy. 'You have all the proposals, right? Send them to Mr Jin for review first, and ask the relevant departments to stay behind tonight for a meeting to discuss them,'

in his current state, it was obviously inappropriate to talk about how to get a loan.

Walking into the living room, Xiao Zhijie, the host, was lying on the sofa, fast asleep. Even from a distance, you could tell that the alcohol on his breath was still wafting out. The guy was really happy today.

As a veteran, Feng Yiping really treasures these days. They are still students, don't have full-time jobs, aren't married, and don't have children. Occasionally, they can still let loose like this, but looking at the current situation, such opportunities will definitely become less and less.

For example, today, if Yu Lian were still at work, would Wang Changning be able to come here alone?

With the sound of drums and gongs, Wang Changning on the bed and Xiao Zhijie on the sofa both woke up groggily at the same time. 'What's going on?'

Feng Yiping smiled and held the TV remote control. 'Get up, the tea is ready!'

Wang Changning fell heavily back on the bed, ready to continue chatting with the Lord of the Underworld.

'You scared me! You're married, how can you still be so naughty?' Xiao Zhijie pointed at the TV and said, and before Feng Yiping could warn him, he took a sip of tea and immediately ran towards the kitchen, waving his hands about. 'It's hot!'

Of course it's hot, it's only been a short while since it was brewed.

Wang Changning, that unscrupulous guy, saw this scene and his laughter drowned out the sound of the gongs and drums on TV.

The phone rang again. Feng Yiping looked at the number and saw that it was Xiao Zhijie's. It was a coincidence, because Xiao Zhijie had just mentioned Lin Hui during dinner.

'Yiping, why didn't you call us when you got back? If I hadn't just seen your aunt, I wouldn't have known you were in the provincial capital. Where are you?'

'At Zhijie's place. Your aunt said your business is going well?'

'So-so. It's mainly because the furniture from the factory is good. Are you doing okay? Why don't we meet up?'

'I drank too much wine at lunch and have just woken up. If you're free, go about your business, I'll be fine,' Feng Yiping said. He really wasn't used to being treated like a guest when he came back.

'That's perfect, I'll buy you all coffee to sober up, it's settled!' Lin Hui hung up the phone with a smile.

'Are we going?' Feng Yiping asked.

'Why wouldn't we go when someone's buying and there's coffee involved? Of course we're going. I'll go wash my face,'

In Feng Yiping's opinion, Xiao Zhijie was a bit over the moon today, eager to share his business with the whole world. 'You didn't stay up all night last night, did you!'

Lin Hui had changed again after a few months apart. She looked more confident, probably because the furniture store was doing well.

'Where's your husband? He's not here today?' Xiao Zhijie sat down next to Lin Hui with a smile.

'He's at home looking after the shop. I heard that you and Qiuling are finally going to get married. Congratulations!' Lin Hui spoke before Xiao Zhijie did, even though he hadn't volunteered the information.

It seems that Xiao Zhijie's aunt and Lin Hui are on good terms, and he even told her this. One can only say that women are naturally gossips!

'Thank you. I'll try to let you taste the wedding candy soon,' Xiao Zhijie said with a shameless smile.

'It's good that the three of you are like this,' Lin Hui said with emotion. When she was at school, she was too busy with her romantic relationships to get to know her classmates well, and she didn't have any close friends.

'Fate,' Feng Yiping took a sip of his unsweetened bitter coffee, 'You're looking for me in such a hurry, is there something wrong?'

'There is something,' Lin Hui said, 'Although business is good now, I always feel that this business is one after another, and I'm not quite sure about it. I want to ask you if you have any ideas?'

One after another in the long run, it's actually not wrong to say that. Furniture is a durable product, and no matter how extravagant someone is, they won't change it every few years.

'You're thinking too negatively. One family doing well will lead to more families doing well,' Wang Changning said, speaking out of turn. 'There are so many families in the city, moving to new homes and needing to replace their furniture, those living in old houses with money to spare, and companies and government organisations that inevitably need to renew their furniture. As long as the brand becomes well-known, business will only get better and better.'

'Not only the city, but there are also seven counties below it, so how much market demand is there? It is entirely possible to develop middlemen in the counties below. In recent years, many new houses have been built in the counties below, and each house means a set of furniture. It is impossible for them to all come to the city or the provincial capital to buy, right?' This is Xiao Zhijie's opinion.

It seems that by following their brother-in-law around, they have still learned a lot or been inspired to think of many things.

'It's right that you can think like this, and it's good to be prepared for danger in times of peace, but your thoughts are indeed a bit negative,' Feng Yiping said with a smile. 'I think this: if Chenglin has time, you go find your brother-in-law and ask him to come to the salesperson training. There are professional and systematic courses on these issues: how to find new customers, how to develop and manage intermediaries, how to do promotions... If there's anything you don't understand, you can also ask the teachers directly. They are at least teachers from universities in the province, and some of them are well-known experts in the country.'

'You know what? I'm a bit worried because I'm having such a good time that it feels a bit unreal. But you're right, business will only get better,' Lin Hui said a little sheepishly. "I was thinking about asking you if I could let Chenglin come work at the company as an accountant, just to be on the safe side,'

'What's the average monthly sales now?" Wang Changning asked.

'Over 80,000,' Lin Hui whispered.

'Is it all retail?' Xiao Zhijie asked.

'It's all retail, but I brought in a lot of it myself. I went to the housing authority and asked for the phone numbers of the owners of those newly delivered properties, and then I promoted them one by one. For those who were interested, I went to their homes to show them the samples and invite them to come to the store to look around. The results were quite good.'

No wonder she feels that business is too good to be true. On average, she sells more than 80,000 yuan worth of goods a month, and the profit margins in furniture retailing are not low.

'I think Lin Hui would do well to attend this training herself. If she just learns systematically, her level of expertise will definitely be top-notch,' Xiao Zhijie said.

'Can I? Yiping, does the company have many female salespersons?' Lin Hui was also interested as soon as she heard this. Although she was asking, it seemed that she had already made up her mind.

'Yes, but not many. But you're a good student too. You two arrange your schedules and come together. But do you like learning all this stuff? I remember when you were in school, heh heh,'

'Hey, weren't you not interested in that stuff? This is different. It can help me make money,' Lin Hui was a little embarrassed. It seemed that she wasn't very interested in studying, but she was more motivated to make money in business than she was to fall in love while in school.

'I dare say that her income will definitely exceed that of most of her classmates who worked hard to get into university,' Wang Changning said, looking at Lin Hui, who was happily driving the Fukang back to the city. The next sentence might be a conclusion to the theory that studying is useless.

This comparison is actually correct. Although it is not known how much this year's recent graduates are being paid, it is definitely less than Lin Hui, who earns at least ten thousand yuan a month. However, some of them will definitely achieve more than Lin Hui.

As Xiao Zhijie said, 'When I think about it, we still have three years of study ahead of us, and I really don't think it's worth it. If we put together the tuition and living expenses for the next three years, we could open a shop like this. Three years from now, when our classmates are busy looking for jobs after graduation, we'll both be able to buy a house.'

'I don't know about the others, but do you two still worry about this? Your future stage will definitely be big and exciting.'

'I can't promise that, but my father said that he doesn't expect me to take over the business, and that if I have any thoughts of doing so, he'd rather I went back to the countryside and farmed,' Xiao Zhijie said.

It's true. In the eyes of our parents, we were able to open a noodle restaurant and make money before we even graduated from junior high school, and they've supported us all the way through university. What's the point of all that education?

'I meant what I said at the time. After graduation, you two came to help out, one in charge of the business and the other in charge of the money, leaving me to be the boss,'
