Xia Shangxu drank the water in a gulp, and then he barely recovered, muttering: “This piece of meat is not cooked evenly with the other meats, it’s a bit hard.”
Shou glanced over with a mocking look.
Xia Shangxu was unhappy, but he didn’t say anything, he didn’t care about the younger generation.
Looking at Xia Lu and Qin Fei’s eager eyes, he said helplessly: “Sister, although I have a small business, I can’t take out 150,000 right now, but if you give me some time, maybe I can.”
He would think of a way.
Xia Lu knew his situation. She sighed and said: “Yes, even if you are very smart and can do business since you were young, you can go out to set up stalls during the summer vacation to earn some money, and you can sell wholesale goods with others before college, but 150,000 is still too much.”
Qin Hongfei looked at her cousin with some surprise and became interested: “What kind of business does your cousin do?”
Xia Shangxu looked at her niece and saw her smile. She was so innocent and cute, just like her sister. She resisted the urge to pinch her and smiled: “You won’t understand even if I tell you.”
Qin Hongfei smiled purely: “Tell me about it.”
Xia Shangxu saw that they wanted to listen, so he told them that when he was in junior high school. He resold snacks and notebooks at school and helped with homework.
When he was in high school, others went to work in factories, but he went to sell small things, such as CDs, magazines, and scooters. Anyway, he sold whatever was popular in school. At that stage, it was no problem to make a few hundred, but not a lot of money. Moreover, his family was very opposed to it, so he did it secretly.
Qin Yun’s eyes lit up: “Uncle, you are so powerful. With that, you can pay your tuition by yourself when you study. Why do adults still oppose you?”
Isn’t it great to be able to make money?
Xia Shangxu said awkwardly: “I spent the money… As soon as I made money, I treated my friends. I spent hundreds of yuan quickly and was beaten by your cousin’s father, but they didn’t know that I had reasons for doing so.”
He couldn’t help sighing when talking about the past.
Qin Yun nodded and said I understand: “Every time I don’t do my homework, my mother wants to beat me, and I also say I have reasons.”
Xia Shangxu laughed and scolded: “You little brat, you know nothing. I’m spending money to buy connections.”
“I spent hundreds of yuan on treating people in junior high school. It seems that I lost money but in fact! I relied on treating people to remember my favors, and after a few years, the rewards came…”
Qin Hongfei listened with interest.
Xia Shangxu originally just wanted to talk casually, but seeing that she was listening attentively, he couldn’t help but talk more: “The person who I treated all the time in junior high school found me when I started my own business in college… He invited me to develop a building materials business in the south, but I came into contact with another industry, the taxi industry…”
“Is my cousin a taxi driver?” Qin Hongfei asked.
“At first I was a driver, but later I found that being a driver was not as profitable as doing contracting.” Xia Shangxu said with a faint smile: “So I gathered some people and raised some money, and we set up a taxi contracting company.”
Now, let alone Qin Hongfei, even Tang Jinnan and the capital couldn’t help but cast their eyes on Xia Shangxu.
Xia Shangxu was very proud of being noticed. These kids haven’t seen the world.
They’ll be scared to death if he tells them.
“A taxi is very expensive! The lowest price is 30,000 or 40,000, right? How many people can afford it? Even if they can afford it, not everyone is willing to spend 30,000 or 40,000. What’s more, even if you buy it, you may not use it all the time. But how many people in the big cities in the south, white-collar workers, and business owners use taxis every day?”
“Forget about big entrepreneurs, but small entrepreneurs generally don’t rent private taxis. Public transportation is not yet well-developed and not popular. If you take the bus to discuss business, it will inevitably be delayed. There are few taxis, but business is booming, and it is difficult to make an appointment…”
