Reborn in 1991, helping dad become the richest man

In a rental house.

The father and son leaned on an old dining table, happily eating steaming instant noodles.

In 91, a pack of instant noodles cost 7 cents and was considered high-end food.

Dad ate with gusto, and Tang Yichen just ate for the sake of nostalgia...

"Today I went to 12 vegetable markets and 23 stalls. Including Mr. Hu's, I sold a total of 258 kilograms."

"But here I only have 1771.5 yuan. These small business owners are so cunning. They touched my bill here and there and erased nearly 10 yuan in change. It should have been 1780.2 yuan."

After Tang Xionghua finished talking, he freed his hands and started writing and drawing in a small notebook, as if to reconcile the accounts.

The notebook is densely packed with notes, each item of the account being clearly written.

Tang Yichen looked at the notebook and summarized:

"The total purchase cost and shipping cost is 801 yuan, which means we have made a net profit of 970 yuan!"

"And we still have more than 290 kilograms of goods left. If we can sell them all tomorrow, we can make more than 2900 yuan in total."

Tang Xionghua, who was concentrating on reading a small notebook at this time, was suddenly surprised to hear Tang Yichen say the number "2900 yuan".

He was stunned for a moment at first, and then his face was filled with shock and numbness.

Oh my god! More than 2900 yuan!

There is no doubt that this number has a huge impact on Tang Xionghua.

A week ago, he was just a teacher earning 180 yuan a month, and was even considered a high-paid person.

After being ruthlessly dismissed by the school, he faced the embarrassment of being unemployed and having no income, as well as being looked down upon.

In the blink of an eye, he could earn nearly a thousand yuan a day and nearly three thousand yuan in two days.

This... this is something I can't even imagine in my dreams!

You know, he saved up for two years and barely managed to save three thousand yuan.

Now, just by coming to Chuzhou, I have earned this money...

It’s so profitable! It’s so profitable!

"Gulu..."

Tang Xionghua swallowed and almost swallowed the whole instant noodles into his throat.

After a moment, he came back to his senses, staring at Tang Yichen with his eyes as sharp as torches, and said:

"Yi Chen! We need to call for help!"

"After running all day today, I feel like my legs are about to break."

"The key is that we haven't even left Hankou District yet. We have to run all over Chuzhou..."

"I'm too busy, I'm too busy!"

Tang Yichen thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, if we follow Boss Hu's initial purchase of 12 kilograms, many stalls will have to restock after two or three days. Going back to his hometown to restock the goods will take time."

"More importantly, the market for dried small fish and shrimp is just emerging, so it's important to seize the market."

"Dad, you can't handle it all by yourself just by going to the market. You have to call for help!"

Tang Xionghua nodded heavily and said, "That's right! We must seize the opportunity and increase our efforts to dominate the entire Chuzhou market!"

Dominate the market?

The word "dad" is used quite well, and it has the flavor of the richest man and domineering CEO.

Tang Yichen smiled and then asked his father, "Dad, are you planning to call me uncle, uncle-in-law, or both?"

Tang Xionghua pondered for a moment and said:

"Here's what I thought. I'll call the village and ask your uncle to come over first. I'll have him take the 2:30 a.m. train to Chuzhou to help."

"Although Kunfei is a bit lazy, he's at least smart. He's more suitable for delivering goods, calculating bills, and collecting payments than your uncle."

"At worst, we can buy another tricycle tomorrow. It'll be useful later anyway. I'll take your uncle on a few trips first. Once he's familiar with it, he can take care of the restocking."

"As for me, I'll go to other districts to run the market..."

"As for your uncle, if we sell out tomorrow, we'll let him be responsible for collecting the goods in the village when we get back. He can even replenish the stock later."

"As for me, I'm mainly focusing on ensuring that there are no problems with the delivery channels and that market expansion goes smoothly. I'll give it a try first, and if it doesn't work, I'll slowly adjust."

"Yichen, what do you think?"

I have to say that my dad was very thoughtful.

He has also noticed that the two key points of procurement channels and market expansion must be firmly grasped.

If he asked relatives for help, Tang Yichen might not be able to come up with a better arrangement.

But he still raised a key question:

"If my uncle comes to Chuzhou tomorrow, then the matter of the county feed factory receiving the goods will be exposed."

"Dad, have you thought about how to explain this to the family? Are there any secrets you need to keep?"

Tang Xionghua nodded and said, "Yes, I know. It doesn't matter. It has come to this. They will know sooner or later."

"Even if I tell your grandparents that I was fired from school, I don't have anything to worry about now."

"And I believe that your uncle and uncle will keep it a secret."

"Your uncle goes without saying. Your uncle-in-law is three years younger than me. We grew up together. I was the one who introduced your aunt to him."

"That's true." Tang Yichen nodded in agreement.

But at the same time, Yi Chen was also considering another problem.

Since ancient times, Chinese people have been troubled by scarcity and inequality.

There are countless examples of relatives and friends starting a business together and being happy at first, but eventually becoming enemies regardless of whether they make a profit or a loss.

He knew that his father wanted to help his uncle and uncle-in-law.

But is this method really the best at the moment?

In fact, at the beginning, Tang Yichen was more inclined to recruit local people from Chuzhou to help.

Locals are not clear about the supply channels and prices, which can effectively prevent people from taking over and doing it themselves.

If my uncle and brother-in-law knew about the huge profit margin, how would they distribute the money they earned?

No matter how it is distributed, there will inevitably be gaps in people's hearts!

After thinking for a while.

Tang Yichen decided to express his thoughts:

"Dad, I think even if we want to help our family, we don't necessarily need them to do it with us."

"It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. I think we can wait until our business is on track, let my uncle and my brother-in-law learn from us for a few days, and then go out on their own."

"After all, this business doesn't have any technical barriers or difficulty. You can learn it as long as you are taught once."

"The only requirement is a little start-up capital, which we can even lend them."

"Besides, one person can't make all the money. As long as there's a market gap for dried small fish and shrimp, we have so many cities in Daxia and so many small fish and shrimp resources in the countryside. They can just follow our example and go to other towns to collect them and sell them to other cities."

"Maybe I can earn more than Chuzhou."

"Dad, what do you think?"

"This..." Tang Xionghua fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Tang Yichen did not urge him.

My father's generation had much stronger concepts of family and local clan than his generation.

Moreover, it was still very unusual for a family to start a business on their own in 91, and it took time to digest.

After a while, Tang Xionghua took a deep puff of his cigarette, exhaled, looked at Tang Yichen and said:

"I know what you said makes sense, Yichen...but if we don't ask your uncle and uncle to come and help, where can we find them?"

Seeing that his father had figured it out, Tang Yichen replied calmly:

"It's not a big problem. We can find people by simply putting up a job recruitment sign at the train station or the vegetable market."

"Dad, you've always been in the township system, so you might not understand. These days, the city isn't lacking labor; it's lacking jobs. There are tons of laid-off workers without jobs. Our country is going through the pain of a major surgery..."

"As long as we select carefully, we will definitely find the right person."

"Is that so?" Tang Xionghua didn't understand and was a little skeptical.

Isn’t it not just me who is unemployed, but everyone else! ?
