Rebirth 1975: My Wife is Love-Brained

Chen Yan's words completely silenced the couple.

This is good news for them!

Just like Chen Yan said, Han Meimei has to work in the cinema every day, rain or shine, so as long as she brings popcorn with her, she can still sell some.

In this way, in addition to the salary, there is an extra income.

Their family's life will be much better.

Don't think that Han Meimei's family can have an easy life! These days, everyone lives a tight life.

Both of them are formal workers, but their combined monthly salary is just that much. They have to support the family on weekdays and raise two children!

Although it is a dual-income family, that’s all!

It’s good to earn more!

"But, what will you do if you hand over the popcorn business to me?" Han Meimei asked Chen Yan.

After this period of contact, she recognized this younger brother from the bottom of her heart. Although she recognized him, to Han Meimei, he was her own relative.

Of course, I was really worried about Chen Yan at this moment.

"As for me! Don't worry, sister! Actually, there is something I have never told you!" Chen Yan smiled and said shyly, "My translation level is probably, perhaps, maybe, a little higher than that of your classmate!"

"In other words, as long as Xinhua Bookstore needs translators, this job will be a long-term one for me!"

"Is it true? Chen Yan, don't say this on purpose to reassure me!" Han Meimei asked nervously.

Chen Yan shook her head. "That won't happen! Don't worry, sister! If you don't believe me, go ask Director Zhu!"

Han Meimei nodded and said seriously, "Then I will definitely ask!"

"Haha! Apart from this, didn't I say before that I plan to cooperate with my brother-in-law to do business!" Chen Yan changed the subject back at this time.

Li Lei immediately became interested, "Yes, yes, yes! Chen Yan, what exactly is it? Talk to your brother-in-law about it!"

Li Lei was really excited at this moment.

Since meeting Chen Yan, his wife has earned more than him.

Although he didn't say it, he felt bad inside.

Men have always been the ones supporting the family, but when it comes to his own family, the situation is turned upside down!

Although the couple won't have any quarrels over this matter, it's not nice to say it. If this gets out, people will laugh at them.

But he usually travels around the countryside and has no other way to make money.

Just now when Chen Yan mentioned doing business, his heart was pounding. Now, he finally heard Chen Yan take the initiative to talk about this topic, and he immediately looked at Chen Yan eagerly.

"Actually, it's still popcorn!" Chen Yan said with a smile.

"Ah? You don't want me to sell popcorn when I go to the countryside, do you? Your brother-in-law is not trying to hit you, Chen Yan! Those who can afford to watch movies in the county are not short of money. They are basically working-class families, or they work in units! They have a fixed salary! Only then can they afford movie tickets and be willing to spend a dime or two to buy popcorn! In the countryside, the projection team doesn't charge for showing movies! Ordinary people can't even get enough food, so how can they be willing to spend money on popcorn! Isn't it better to buy some white flour and rice with a dime or two!" Li Lei said with a sigh.

The little bit of energy I had just now disappeared without a trace.

He felt that Chen Yan took it for granted!

Although the idea is good, in reality it is not realistic at all.

But he understood it. After all, Chen Yan was young and, secondly, he was a complete intellectual.

Nowadays, many intellectuals often do things like this, with high aspirations but low skills, and they talk better than they sing. They talk very well, but when they do things, they are nothing.

Li Lei travels back and forth all over the place and has seen this kind of thing many times.

At this moment, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart!

I think too much!

Although Chen Yan is his adopted brother-in-law and has some abilities, his abilities are probably only slightly better than those of the average educated youth who went to the countryside.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this! Chen Yan, this is your first time visiting today, and your brother-in-law is very happy! Let's not talk about these unhappy things. Let's put it this way, go ask our father later, it seems that his brick and tile factory is still in need of an accountant. The previous accountant is old and can't do the math clearly anymore! If that doesn't work out for you, you can go to the brick and tile factory and be the accountant. Although the salary may not be as good as that of a formal worker in the county, it is much better than what you have in the village, and you don't have to be exposed to the sun and rain!" Li Lei patted Chen Yan's shoulder to comfort him, fearing that he would hurt Chen Yan's self-esteem.

"Brother-in-law! Let's talk about this later! Let's talk about the business I just mentioned first! I know everything you said! But I didn't plan to sell popcorn in the countryside according to the model in the county town from the beginning!"

"Ah? What happened?" Li Lei was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.

Chen Yan smiled. He had actually thought about this problem a long time ago and already had a mature plan.

At this moment, I just said it out loud.

"In the county town, we charge 20 cents a pack, but in the countryside, we charge 5 cents a pack!"

"What? Five cents a pack? Chen Yan, are you kidding? We're going to lose a lot of money." Li Lei jumped up.

Chen Yan stretched out his hand and pressed Li Lei's shoulder, "Brother-in-law, will you listen to me?"

"That's right! Stop being so impatient. Listen to Chen Yan first! I know Chen Yan's ability well. Since he said that, he must have considered this factor!" Han Meimei yelled at Li Lei in annoyance.

"Hey, I'm worried too. But it's fifty cents a bag. I heard from your sister before that your popcorn is made of corn, rice, sugar, oil and so on. The cost must be quite high! Aren't you losing money if you sell it at fifty cents?" Li Lei asked in a low voice.

Chen Yan smiled!

"Who said that the cost of making popcorn is very high? That's right! Whether it's rice, oil or sugar! They are not cheap! But it depends on the output! How much is a bag of popcorn? Less than two taels! I've calculated it! According to the current price, the cost of a bag is just over three cents! Add the labor cost, and we'll make it four cents! If it's sold for five cents, we can still make a profit of one cent!"

"And what are the most abundant in the countryside? People! And the most abundant are the poor! Brother-in-law, when you go to each village to show a movie, you should know the huge crowds of people! Basically, everyone who can move in the village comes back, right? Who doesn't have a few crying and making a fuss? You are reluctant to spend five cents on them?"

Having said that!

There was no need for Chen Yan to continue speaking, Li Lei was shaking with excitement.

"Yes, basically every family has women and children. In this way, although the profit from each bag is less, the sales volume is more! If accumulated, it is a lot of money! It can be done, it can be done!"

this moment!

After Chen Yan's explanation, Li Lei's mind was completely opened.

In fact, this is a problem of small profits but quick turnover. Before, the profit per unit was large, but now, the profit per unit has been reduced, and money is made by using the huge market base.

"Besides, there is another benefit to doing this! We are not afraid of being sued!" Chen Yan chuckled, "A five-cent deal, is this considered speculation? There is no such thing as breaking the sky, don't you think, brother-in-law!"

Li Lei was so excited that he couldn't speak at this moment.

He pointed at Chen Yan, looked him up and down, and said after a while, "I am convinced! Chen Yan! Brother-in-law is completely convinced! I am really curious, what is wrong with your brain? I can't do this business at first glance, but when it comes to you, not only can you do it, but you can also make a lot of money! Why is the difference between people so big?"
