Chapter 5 The Story of Jeans
(This chapter is free)
Although Yang Xing looked confident and unfathomable outside, he was still the son who had not grown up and was naughty in his parents' eyes. Now, Yang Xing, who hadn't returned home for two days, was finally pressed by his mother's ears at the dining table, asking him what he was doing these days.
Yang Xing's parents were from Baling Province, so the common language in their family was Baling rather than Mandarin. Like most families in Jiudu, his parents were also soldiers and were affiliated with the Infrastructure Engineering Soldiers. They were previously stationed in Shudong, their father's hometown, but later in a special period, their troops were transferred to Jiudu. In 1982, the seventh major disarmament was made, and all the entire Infrastructure Engineering Soldiers were transferred, and his parents' units were transferred to the local construction machinery factory under a central enterprise.
Although his father Yang Rongguang was only one word different from a certain star, his image was very different. He was black, thin, short, and had a stern face. He said in his mother's words that "a three-acon can't make a fuss." However, after all, he was a veteran college student who graduated from Beijing University of Technology and had outstanding work skills. Now he is the deputy director of the factory's production. His mother He Guizhi was straightforward. When she was young, she was still a dance pillar of the factory's art team, and she was quite handsome. However, in recent years, the factory's performance was not good. Her workshop was cut off. Her father was too upright and did not exert any influence. As a result, he was assigned to the small stove of the leader in the canteen in the factory. His mother had a lot of arguments with his father about this.
Today at the dinner table, my mother launched a fatigue bombardment on this issue on my dad. "You incompetent man, you earn such a little dead salary all day long. My mother, this flower is completely finished in your cow dung. It's not a little bit, but it's a lot of bad luck. Get up at 5 o'clock every morning to prepare breakfast for the family and the factory. After breakfast, prepare lunch, and there's dinner. When I get home, it's not a ** order, it's even more tiring than before. In the small cafeteria
The three of us were just walking around, seeing if I was tired one day, who would prepare meals for you?" My dad took out his usual countermeasures, laid his face to deal with the food in the bowl, and didn't say a word. After my mom angrily picked up a piece of tofu in my dad's bowl, he turned his finger to the snickering Yang Xing and Heiwa, "I have been busy these days and forgot to ask you about working. Your mom doesn't expect you to make much money, I just hope you will suffer more and gain more knowledge. By the way, what are you doing?"
Of course, Yang Xing would not tell the story of his millions in the stock market. He was afraid that his parents who only earned a few hundred yuan a month would not be able to bear it for a while. But taking advantage of the time to pull his mother into the water, he replied, "We are selling information." "What information?" He Guizhi asked in confusion. The Heiwa next to him also raised his head in confusion, wondering what he was selling. "It's securities information. We work in a securities company, and this is my idea." "Your idea?" He Guizhi suddenly found that his son, who had been with him for nearly twenty years, was a little unfamiliar. "This is what I thought of after seeing it in a book, I'll tell you," Yang Xing continued.
"Do you have jeans at home?" Yang Xing asked He Guizhi, and He Guizhi nodded. "Have you ever thought about who invented it?" Everyone was confused. "In 1853, an American named Levi Strauss invented the canvas work pants that would later be called 'jeans'. At that time, it was called 'Levi' work pants'. Now the 'Levi' brand jeans are a world-famous brand. The genuine brand in our department store costs 6,700 yuan per pair."
Yang Xing took a sip of water and continued, "In 1850, a large piece of gold mine was discovered in the western United States, and everyone was doing the dream of gold digging. So, countless people who wanted to get rich overnight rushed to the barren land in the west like a tide. Livi Strauss was one of them, but after he arrived, he found that there were people rushing gold digging everywhere. He followed others and couldn't even pick up gold dirt. But he had a keen sense of business. He found that the work of gold digging workers was very hard, and their clothes and pants were often rubbed with stones and sand.
The trousers made of cotton cloth were not durable and were worn out in a few days. He happened to have a batch of sturdy canvas used to set up tents, so he sewed a batch of work pants for sale, and was quickly sold out. Levi Strauss took this as a starting point to sell these work pants, and later named them the 'Levies' brand jeans. Now 'Levies' is a multinational company with billions of dollars. Many people later concluded that during that gold rush, no one who really made money by making money was actually selling jeans."
Yang Xing stopped and asked everyone to digest the story, "I have observed at the door of the securities company. There are so many people there who trade stocks, just like those who are gold digging, they all want to get rich overnight, but few people really make a fortune. But there are two things like jeans, and everyone needs them." Yang Xing lowered his voice. After talking so much before, it is time to see the picture.
"First, we have a meal. The opening and closing time of our Chinese stock market is from 9:30 to 11:30 in the morning; from 1:00 to 3:00 in the afternoon, many people come from far away and can only find a place outside the business hall to solve lunch. I think mom, you might as well contract the canteen, hire a few more people, get a few tricycles, and pull them to the door of the securities company to sell a few lunch boxes to ensure that they make money. Second, the information, I see that most of the investors are just looking at each other.
If you don’t know what information you have, just go into the market and buy it randomly. It would be strange if you don’t lose money. Now the information in the stock market can only be obtained by newspapers and related information. For example, the China Securities Journal and the Securities Times cannot be ordered in the hall. If you are lucky, you may be able to grab a copy from the newsstand next to the securities company. The only one who is lucky is to leave the fate. We just look at this point and find ways to buy information and books from Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and then sell it to these people after copying it. We guarantee that we can make a profit."
After a while of silence at the dinner table, Yang Rongguang looked at Yang Xing with a new look for the first time, "Is this what you have figured out during this period?" Yang Xing knew that the opportunity was rare, and whether he could discuss equally with his parents in the future depends on the present. He looked at his parents sincerely, "Dad! Mom! I'm going to college soon. In the past, when people are eighteen years old, I should care about the family and do something useful to the family. In the past, my son was lazy and naughty, which caused you a lot of trouble. However, I thought about a lot of things and figured out a lot of places this summer. Now I have the opportunity to do something and supplement my family. I hope my mother is not that tired and my father is less angry."
Yang Rongguang nodded vigorously and sighed: "Everyone said you were smart, but unfortunately you were not good at it. It seems that you really figured it out. My son has finally grown up!" He Guizhi rubbed her wet eyes and said: "This son is not in vain." Then he asked worriedly again, "I want to contract the cafeteria, and I also have to recruit people to buy cars and tools. The money in this family..."
Yang Xing took out a passbook and placed it respectfully in front of He Guizhi. He Guizhi opened it suspiciously and was startled by the number on it. "10,000 yuan, how could you get that much money!" "This is what we have earned hard for the past few days!" Yang Xing replied sternly, and signaled to Heiwa, asking him to help him. Heiwa couldn't help but admire Yang Xing for not acting, which was a waste of talent, but the responsibility was that the fifth brother asked him to cooperate with Yang Xing and quickly admitted it.
Perhaps Heiwa's honest and complacent face is very convincing, and with Yang Xing's money offensive, his parents did not delve into Yang Xing's ability to make money. He Guizhi agreed to try the lunch box business and also agreed to Yang Xing's working career in "selling information" during the summer vacation, but reminded him that he could not do it anymore after reporting to university. After all, in the eyes of the older generation, going to college is a very sacred thing. Of course, Yang Xing would not submit and responded vaguely in a few words.
The next day, Cha Laowu, who received the news from Heiwa, rushed to Yang Xing and respectfully handed him the two real estate certificates that Yang Xing had mortgaged. Yang Xing smiled and pushed them back and said, "This code is the same. Once the contract is signed, you have to do things according to the rules. This profit will not be given to the fifth brother at all. The collateral cannot be brought back until the time comes. The favors belong to people. The rules in the mall cannot be broken." Cha Laowu understood that this was Yang Xing's suggestion that he would ask himself as a serious businessman in the future and should not play the trick of black and black.
He had no choice but to accept it and said, "Brother, I really admire you. I have been wandering around here for a lot of days. If it is not Heiwa, I can't see the gold mine in front of me until now. These two are the serious business you told me." Yang Xing nodded, "These two businesses have low manpower thresholds and not much start-up capital. It is not difficult to do well, but if you want to grow bigger, some social relationships have to be dealt with. This business has not been discovered by those who are interested, but there are always those who react quickly to notice it. When you make money, someone will definitely want to intervene. It is difficult to say whether these people will play according to the rules.
At that time, you will rely on your face. However, this society always monopolizes business and is easy to do. If the fifth brother's staff can take the initiative to eliminate those small troubles, the profit will not be much lower than that of my stock trading. The profit of this lunch box business is lower, but it will last for a long time. Even if the stock market cools down and can grow bigger, it will be a good business for most of the lunch box business in Jiudu. My mother is timid, but she will be more diligent and hard, so she will be cheaper. This information business requires more manpower and fluctuates greatly with the stock market, but the profit is high. As long as you can spread it, you will probably make more profit than buying stocks. Even if I and Wu Ge, you can work together."
Cha Laowu was very moved when he heard Yang Xing's words. After hearing Yang Xing's plan to make money, the cold light flashed in his eyes and revealed the true face of the underground brother of Jiudu and said, "You fifth brother, I don't have anything else, I still have one or two hundred people. Now your mother is my mother. When the business becomes popular, someone dares to stretch his claws, I will tell him to regret being born in this world."
