"Do you plan to go into business in the future?" Chi Ge asked.
Chi Ge would still choose to support his grandson's ideas, even if he was a little disappointed.
He had a feeling lately that his life might be spent relying on his grandson.
Chi Yiyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "No, I want to study architecture. In the future, I want to build houses, lots of houses."
Chi Yiyuan didn't really know why he had this idea, but it was as if a voice was guiding him to study architecture and civil engineering.
Grandpa Chi nodded, "Just don't forget to continue studying foreign languages. Foreign countries have developed faster than us in this regard. If you can't understand the original texts, your learning will be skewed."
Perhaps because of his achievements in translation, Grandpa Chi was not stubbornly insisting that everything in China was good.
On the contrary, Grandpa Chi was very aware of China's current shortcomings.
"Grandpa, don't worry. I will master the knowledge I need to master, and I won't tarnish your reputation."
Hearing Chi Yiyuan's words, Chi Ge gave a wry smile.
Reputation?
At his age, he should know that reputation was the least important thing!
More than half of his life had passed; why cling to external possessions?
The grandfather and grandson had spoken a few words, and the accounts over there had already been calculated.
The one writing the accounts was none other than Su Xiao Si.
Su Xiao Si's talent in this area was truly unparalleled. No matter how complex the accounts were, they became much simpler in his hands.
"After deducting costs, we made a total profit of thirty-five thousand six hundred and seventy-two yuan. According to our respective shares, we should divide it like this..."
Once the amounts were determined and everyone agreed that their shares were correct, Su Xiao Si began to distribute the money.
Thick bundles of cash were placed on the table, and Su Xiao Si began to divide them one by one according to everyone's proportion.
Soon, the money on the table became less and less.
A group of young people, holding their own thick stacks of Great Unity bills, were overjoyed.
Even Chi Yiyuan, who had always appeared somewhat cold, had a rare smile on his face.
Even the person who earned the least among them now possessed a considerable amount of assets.
Not to mention major shareholders like Chi Yiyuan.
After completing this business deal, Chi Yiyuan's personal assets exceeded ten thousand yuan.
Su Xiao Tian sat nearby, reading a book, while keeping one ear on their accounting.
When she learned that Chi Yiyuan was now a "ten-thousand-yuan household," she was still very surprised.
No wonder he would become a successful person in the future, a big boss that no one dared to offend.
It turned out that he had already surpassed many people from this point on, becoming a successful individual.
"Brother Yiyuan has become a ten-thousand-yuan household!" Su Xiao Tian said with a smile.
Chi Yiyuan said dotingly, "Xiao Tian, what do you want? Brother Yiyuan will buy it for you."
Su Xiao Tian shook her head, "No, I have everything."
Chi Yiyuan had already bought her a lot of things, and besides, she herself was not short of money.
Her current assets were no less than Chi Yiyuan's, and she also owned houses, which would be sky-high in price in later generations – the Siheyuan courtyards.
Su Xiao Si looked at the more than five thousand yuan in his hand and was initially very happy.
But seeing Chi Yiyuan's much thicker stack of Great Unity bills, and Su Xiao Tian saying she had money, he wasn't as happy.
But he quickly became happy again. Earning so much in such a short time was still making big money.
"Is all this money really ours?"
The ones who said this were naturally the few children from the Su family who had first entrusted their money to Su Xiao Si for management.
They counted the money earned from investments along with the money earned from the braised food business during this period, and they had accumulated a small fortune.
Shen Xiao Gang, clutching the money, could hardly believe his eyes. He had money!
"Sister, the money we earned on this trip is more than what Mom earned doing sewing for others for half a year."
Su Xiao Mei couldn't help but smile as she looked at her brother.
"Xiao Gang has grown up and can make money!"
...
Everyone chattered away, and in short, everyone was very happy.
They even started to imagine that if they did a few more rounds of reselling, they would become rich.
The more Su Xiao Tian listened, the more she felt these people were getting carried away.
It was understandable. At their age, earning so much money in just over ten days, how could they not get carried away?
No, for long-term development, they couldn't let them get ahead of themselves.
No matter when it was, a person's future depended on being down-to-earth.
"Many people are still hesitant and dare not do business. In a few more months, many people will see the business opportunities." Su Xiao Tian said this casually.
As expected, after these words were spoken, the excited emotions of the Su family members instantly calmed down a lot.
Chi Yiyuan also had this premonition, and his gaze towards Su Xiao Tian couldn't help but show a bit more admiration.
The girl he liked indeed had a unique vision.
"When you went to Rongcheng, you should have seen that the business philosophy there has already taken shape. In Beijing, it is gradually taking shape and will not take more than a year at the slowest."
Su Xiao Tian continued, and this sentence made everyone fall silent a little more.
Did they only have a few months to make money?
But during these months, they had to attend classes; what should they do?
"Xiao Tian is right. Soon, there will be many people in Beijing doing watch and radio businesses. At that time, prices will drop, and competition will become more intense. Money won't be as easy to make."
Chi Yiyuan also added this, stating that to do business well, one must have long-term and comprehensive plans.
"In fact, this business can still be done, but the profit will gradually decrease."
As the market gradually opened up, thin profits and quick turnover would be the key. Such things as trying to get rich quickly would only last for a short period.
Hearing that the profits would decrease, the others were somewhat disappointed.
Before, they had only done small businesses and didn't earn much, so it took them a long time of hard work to earn a few hundred or a thousand yuan.
But now that they had seen how to make quick money, they were somewhat dismissive of earning cents and dimes.
"Then what should we do?" Su Xiao Jiu said with a sigh.
He had been thinking of earning more money before going to university, so he wouldn't have to spend his family's money when he got there.
Why was this path not working out?
Su Xiao Si suddenly understood and said with a laugh, "If business in Beijing doesn't work out, we can go to other places, like our Northwest."
When he returned this time, he had also noticed that the concept of doing business had not formed at all in the Northwest.
Therefore, no one would probably think of occupying the Northwest market for the time being. Could he try it then?
