After a simple rebirth

Before going there for internship, Chen Danhong and I went to the wholesale market again. We doubled the wholesale business based on last year, and still used express delivery. This time the quantity was large, but the money was paid by my parents.

With the success of last year, Fu's father and mother are willing to invest and make some money.

Fu Ying wanted to ask her father and mother to make this thing, so that they could set up stalls in different markets every day.

Fu Yingye was looking for Fu Yu to be her partner. She asked Fu Yu to use his connections to get a fireworks business license, and the two of them were going to sell fireworks together this year.

Before fireworks were banned, it was not that difficult to get a business license, and there were even many people operating without a license. Fu Ying wanted to operate legally, so she asked Fu Yu to apply for it.

There is a fireworks store in Gumang, which should have some background. Fortunately, there are more than one store selling fireworks during the Chinese New Year, so adding the Fu family will not attract attention.

Moreover, Fu Ying is not going for the mid-range route. She plans to sell some cheaper items and match them with some more expensive ones, and leave the middle ones to other merchants.

The cheaper Fu Ying’s products mainly have good sales in Guangzhou, or they are newly released and can be more attractive.

This could not be sent by express because the quantity of goods was large, so it was delivered by a special vehicle. The other side said that they could arrange for someone to follow the vehicle. Fu Ying set a date and took the vehicle back to her hometown. She bought some cigarettes and alcohol for the driver, and Fu Ying saved the travel expenses.

Because the goods had to be placed in Fu Yu's store, Fu Ying called her family in advance and asked them to unload the goods at the store. It would definitely not be possible to do it alone.

Fu Ying received no explanation when her parents questioned her. After Fu Ying arrived, her family was shocked by the boxes of fireworks. When they heard that they had already paid and the money could not be refunded, they could only help to move the goods.

Fu Ying returned home late this year, so she knew that her family had already returned to their hometown. Her father and mother, who would not come back unless they had holidays in previous years, were also there.

In the past, Fu's mother always insisted on waiting for the holidays, because she would have a New Year's Eve dinner and participate in the lottery during the holidays, but Fu's mother never had such luck. The most she won was a cash encouragement prize of 100 yuan.

Fu Ying asked her mother, and her mother said that she wanted to make big money and didn't care about the little money she earned from the factory.

After dinner, Fu Ying told him about her plans, aiming to include everyone in the family.

Fu's mother is responsible for selling balloons, Fu's father and Fu Wei sell couplets, Fu Ying and Fu Yu sell fireworks, Fu Zhe and Wang Changjie are responsible for looking after the express store, and Fu Zhe also has the task of looking after the three children.

Facing Fu's mother's doubtful look, Fu Ying said firmly, "Since my whole family has been working hard to sell these things, I might as well expand it and make more money."

There’s an old saying, now that you’re here, you’ve bought everything.

Fu's father and mother had no choice but to accept it and started preparing to sell things the next day.

Fu Wei wanted to escape, but he couldn't. Fu's mother only allowed him to go on blind dates and sell things, and he had to choose one on the blind date and couldn't make excuses to refuse.

Fu Wei accepted the offer to sell the things with a gloomy face.

But in fact, the next day was not the Gumang market, and it was not yet the New Year market, so Fu Ying asked her parents to borrow a tricycle from Wang Jun's family, and took some balloons and couplets to set up a stall at the market in the next town.

Fu Ying and Fu Yu also had to sort out the fireworks. They bought them in boxes and had not had time to unpack and price them.

Fu Zhe is in his third year of high school, so let him study first.

Before the fair, balloons sold better than couplets. Many young people, the main consumers, had not returned yet, but everyone was not discouraged.

However, the publicity effect of participating in surrounding fairs is better. During the Gumang Fair, many people knew that the Fu family sold New Year items. Coupled with last year’s hot sales, sales this year were even faster.

Of course, there are competitors, but they don’t affect Fu’s business much, and the emergence of competitors has promoted everyone’s recognition.

The balloons are sold out first, followed by the couplets. The fireworks are sold out near the 29th. Some people will buy them early and set them off early, but more people will wait until New Year’s Eve to buy them.

On the 28th, the whole Fu family was selling fireworks. Because there were so many people, they kept asking about the price and the effect of the fireworks. Fu Ying was fine, but Fu's mother had a hoarse voice.

But the effort was worth it. Fu Ying didn't know how much Fu's father and mother earned. She only added 500 to the cost and gave them money. She didn't know whether there was any discount or not.

She only knew about Fu Ying and Fu Yu’s fireworks, which were really too rich.

It is no wonder that some people later took the risk to sell it even though they knew it was banned.

Fu Ying sold the products based on the market price and did not offer any combination discounts, so she made a bigger profit.

Fu Yu was collecting most of the money. After the two of them calculated, they found that fireworks worth more than 4 yuan were sold for nearly yuan. Most of the high-end ones were sold at high prices and had high profits.

Fu Ying and Fu Yu tacitly decided to report a lower amount. After deducting the cost, each of them received 13,000 yuan, and the remaining 500 yuan was given to each of the other family members. However, they only told their family and outsiders that they had made a total of about 10,000 yuan.

Fu's parents only said that they earned a little over 10,000 yuan, and every member of the family got one share.

Fu Ying didn't expose it, since it was rare for Fu's mother to give her a thousand dollars as a hush money.

With this money, it seems that Fu's parents are no longer worried. The adults in the family continue to make money, and most of Fu Yu's money is lent to Fu's parents to pay off their debts. Although Fu Wei did not contribute to the household expenses, at least he did not dare to ask for too much money.

Fu Ying heard from Fu Yu privately that Fu's parents had almost paid off their foreign debts, except for the debt owed to the two sisters. However, Fu Ying and Fu Yu were not in urgent need of the money, so Fu's parents actually had no pressure at all.

Fu Ying was also relieved, as it was good enough that the family didn't have any debt.

Fu's father and mother always feel inferior because of their debts. Who doesn't want to live a decent and secure life?

Fu Ying also felt that her father and mother earned a lot. Her mother, who had always said in previous years that she would save money to repay debts, generously gave Fu Wei and Fu Yu 1,000 yuan as a hard work fee this year. Fu Zhe and Fu Ying only received 500 yuan because Fu Zhe was a high school student and Fu Ying was mainly selling fireworks.

In addition, the red envelopes during the Chinese New Year were only worth one hundred yuan, and this year they were rarely increased to two hundred yuan.

The rest of the time is for family entertainment.

However, this year's Spring Festival passed quickly. Fu Zhe, a senior high school student, started school on the sixth day of the New Year. It was really miserable compared to Fu Ying who could still celebrate the Lantern Festival at that time.

Before school started, Fu Ying heard Fu Ma and Fu Yu discussing whether to renovate the house themselves, and Fu Ma supported Fu Yu to do it himself.

The house Wang Changjie lives in now was built with the money his parents saved up and was left to the eldest son by default. Wang Changjie wanted to build a house for himself.

Fu Ying wanted to persuade Fu Yu to build his house in Gumang. With Gumang Middle School there, Gumang's development has always been better than Wang Changjie's family, and the house in Gumang will be more valuable. In addition, it is convenient for Fu Yu to open a shop in Gumang.

But Fu Ying thought that Fu Yu and his wife had no foundation in Gumang.

In Wang Changjie's house, you just need to save money to build a house, but in Gumangke you have to buy a foundation.

By default, Gu Mang's land will only be distributed to his sons, and at most a little subsidy will be given to his daughters. Fu Yu will not fight for this.

So you still have to buy it.

Even if the land is a little off the beaten track, it would cost over 100,000 yuan to accommodate a family of five, not to mention that it would cost another 100,000 yuan to build the house.

Fu Ying couldn't just ask Fu Yu to build a house in Gumang. Besides, Wang Changjie's parents were very conservative and would definitely not agree.

So it’s still up to the couple to discuss it themselves.

Fu Ying also asked Fu Yu what he thought, and Fu Yu said that he would wait until he saved up money for another year before discussing it, and the matter was not mentioned again.

This time, Fu Ying did not stay with the Fu family. She left first and went straight back to Yangcheng.

The senior schoolmate was calling on her with the power of money.

Because Fu Ying worked there part-time before school started, she had to record audio more often.

Fu Ying clearly felt that the recording studio had become a little bigger, and there was even live streaming on the platform.

Fu Ying also did a live broadcast to save the situation.

The program paired with the senior student was just like "Dear Friends", with a letter-reading segment and fan connections. The one who connected that time was a young lady who was struggling between love and career, and she expressed her desire to hear Fu Ying's advice.

Fu Ying did not refuse. She listened to her story patiently and guided her to determine the answer she wanted by asking her some details.

Fu Ying slowly guided her to express her inner thoughts based on the contradictions in her words.

Sure enough, the young lady liked her awesome colleagues in the office and the relaxed working environment, and as she talked about it, she became more determined.

Fu Ying understood her mentality. In fact, she had a tendency to choose this option, but she had not made up her mind. She was afraid that the outcome of her choice would be bad. Fu Ying did not directly advise her what she should do or what would be the best way.

Fu Ying listened to her and finally quoted a piece of chicken soup to encourage her:

[Life is so complicated, there is no absolute right thing. It is nothing more than making choices. There are always gains and losses in choices.

Don’t beautify the road you haven’t walked. Every step you take is the most suitable for you at the moment. Please believe in yourself and don’t look back. 】

The young lady thanked Fu Ying and disconnected the call.

Fu Ying and her senior student worked very well together. The senior student said the response was very good and asked Fu Ying to participate in more live broadcasts. As expected, Fu Ying refused.

She has no intention of doing this. She requires herself to do one thing well, as human energy is limited. Her main job must still be studying.

Besides, she is only a part-time worker, and the work she does is almost as good as that of a full-time worker, so she’d better not take away other people’s work.

After school started, she reduced the frequency of recording and never showed her face. She was not afraid to walk on the street because no one cared whether she was a host or not.

When she worked part-time at the amusement park on weekends, she was sometimes responsible for the broadcast. But she also heard people ask her why her voice sounded so familiar and like a certain anchor. Fu Ying directly said that maybe her voice was too popular and it actually sounded like a anchor.

She was so frank and honest that others thought she had made a mistake and walked away saying they were embarrassed.

Fu Ying was afraid that if she continued to ask a few more questions, he would recognize her.

Why is Fu Ying worried? Apart from the fact that everyone's voice may be different, the pronunciation of some words can be very representative of a person.

Fu Ying speaks standard Mandarin, but due to the influence of her habits, some words and phrases are not pronounced in the standard northern Mandarin.

For example, she can hardly pronounce the erhua sound, and you can tell she is from the South just by listening to her.

Fu Ying had also seen some comments and was curious about where she was from. Apart from guessing that she was from the south, she could hardly guess anything else.

There's no way, her accent is influenced by the great fusion.

She spoke Yunnan dialect when she was a child, and after years of being influenced by Mandarin and Cantonese, she no longer has her hometown accent, but it is not Cantonese. Later, she learned English and Japanese. The pronunciation of each language is different, so her Mandarin is even more different.

In a nutshell, anyone who says anything about her is wrong because she doesn't look like her.

But apart from broadcasting, I'm not afraid at other times.

When broadcasting, I get used to smiling and speaking in a gentle voice so that people can easily recognize me.

She was not afraid of checking tickets and talking at the door because she always wore a mask. The voice would be a little different through the mask, and the ticket checker had to communicate with people loudly, so no one did not suspect anything.

She is even less afraid at school because she speaks little and is steady, which is very different from her voice as a broadcaster.
