After Xia Fan made an agreement with Mr. Zhou, he didn't go to school anymore, but when he had nothing to do, he rode his old-fashioned bicycle early in the morning and went around the city to see what business could be done.

This is a very difficult process.At the beginning of the 90s of last century, China had just reformed and opened up for a few years, and it was actually the time when all things were left to be done.But at the same time, it also shows that there is no routine for everything, and all the ways are your own.Xia Fan lived until the beginning of the [-]th century in his life, and heard about a lot of big events, but none of them he can touch now - he has no capital.But in small aspects, such as how successful businessmen made their first pot of gold, in the age when there was no Internet and entrepreneur autobiographies were not popular, he knew very little.

Everything starts from scratch.

Therefore, Xia Fan was extremely serious.

Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road. After running outside for three days, Teacher Zhou sent him high school textbooks and told him the news that a good friend of his husband, Wang Qiuchuan, was working in the provincial capital. The company rented an office building, and white-collar workers went in and out, but the food was not good, either not too expensive, or not too unclean, and they would drink and complain when they came back.

Wang Qiuchuan is a college student in the 80s, the youngest engineer in the unit, but his mind is not rigid. After listening to it, he took it seriously, asked about the situation there carefully, and then told Mr. Zhou about it. It is said that they want to open a clean small shop, and the business is likely to be good.The only question is, at Xia Fan's age, can he do this?

Xia Fan thinks this is a good thing, but he thinks more fashionable, what kind of store to open, if there are enough office buildings in that area, he can just find a residential building for fast food.After thinking it over clearly, Xia Fan said, "I'm not alone. My cousin is taking me with him. He's old, experienced, and has an aunt to guard him."

Only then did Teacher Zhou feel relieved, but she also said that he would not be allowed to move around. Instead, she said that she happened to be free on the weekend, and she asked her husband Wang Qiuchuan to take them there to meet that friend and talk about other things.Xia Fan nodded quickly.

The matter was settled, and he didn't make a phone call. He rode a [-] bicycle and ran to the dormitory of the machinery factory more than ten miles away to find his cousin.At this time, it was just afternoon work time, and there was no one at home, so Xia Fan rode his bicycle to a game hall outside the dormitory. Sure enough, Gu Feng was playing shooting with his butt sticking out.

Xia Fan was not polite, and the superior slapped him on the buttocks. Gu Feng was startled, and with a shake of his hand, he missed it.He ouched and cursed, "Damn it, what little bastard dares to touch your grandpa's fart..."

As soon as he turned around, he saw Xia Fan grinning at him, and swallowed the rest of the word. The one next to him was probably his brother, who was addicted to beating, and said sarcastically without looking back, "Damn, who is so shameless?" , I won't even let your fart go!"

"Get out of here!" Gu Feng scolded him, pulled Xia Fan out, and when he reached the door, he asked him, "Why are you here? This is the time for school?"

Xia Fan arrived early on purpose, just to discuss with him, he had to join his cousin to deal with the aunt.He said directly, "I'm not going, I've found a way to do business, and I want to ask my cousin if he wants to go together?"

Gu Feng was taken aback by him. He was a good student in his grandfather's mouth. When he left with his mother, he also promised to study hard. Why did he think so in just a few days? He immediately asked , "Is it possible that someone in your school said you, don't be afraid, brother will vent your anger on you."

Seeing him wanting to roll up his sleeves, Xia Fan felt soft in his heart, he grabbed Gu Feng's arm, shook his head and said, "Brother, no, it's because I don't want to do it myself, I have to support myself. "

This kind of statement made Gu Feng feel uncomfortable, but he was a man, so he couldn't show it, so he suddenly opened the door of the game hall, and shouted inside, "Sir, I have something to go back first, you can play by yourself." After finishing speaking, without waiting for their reply, he dragged Xia Fan back home.

My aunt lived in a Tongzi building, with two rooms in total, sharing the toilet, and cooking at the door. The two of them avoided the clothes and briquettes in the corridor before entering the door.Gu Feng closed the door carefully, and had a face-to-face meeting with Xia Fan, before he said, "You can pass the college entrance examination, but you will be in an office in the future, and you will be looked down upon in business all your life. How could you think of this way?" ?”

People at that time were still very traditional in their thinking, thinking that sitting in an office was the best job, perhaps because they were not of a high level, and the businesses they came into contact with were all small businesses, and indeed they had no social status.Xia Fan didn't want to explain this to him, it was useless, he just said, "Many new office buildings have been opened in the provincial capital, and the teacher's husband's friend works there, and they said it is very difficult to buy and eat, take me to see it on weekends See if you can do business. Brother, if you are free, come with me."

The meaning of these words is very obvious, Xia Fan has already made up his mind.Gu Feng stared at Xia Fan for half a minute, Xia Fan looked at him without blinking.Gu Feng was defeated first, knowing that this could not be changed. This cousin gave him too much shock in the past half month. He asked him to act as an uncle to hug Lin Huihui. He thought it was just a trivial matter, but Wang Rui , Later, he blatantly turned his back on his uncle, and now he has stopped studying to start a business. He is too assertive.

Gu Feng didn't know if it was Xia Fan who had such a temperament, but he didn't show it because his grandfather spoiled him, or it was a last resort because his grandfather left.But he knew he couldn't persuade him, but he wasn't at ease either.Gu Feng, who was held by Xia Fan, slapped Xia Fan hard on the head, "I'll go with you."

Xia Fan finally heaved a sigh of relief, ignoring the pain in his head, he pressed ahead with his request, "Don't tell auntie."

Gu Feng had no choice but to nod his head, "Sure, I'm afraid of you."

On Sunday, the three of them boarded the car to the provincial capital.Gu Feng stayed at Xia Fan's house for one night first, and the two brothers chatted about how to open a restaurant in the middle of the night. The next morning, Xia Fan gave him 50 yuan and said to him, "Brother, this is for buying tickets and eating. Don’t let Uncle Wang take the money.”

Gu Feng had no money on him, and he couldn't open his mouth to ask his aunt, so he could only take it. He had been in the society for two or three years, and he still knew how to do things. He bought tickets and chatted along the way. The three of them felt awkward, Wang Qiuchuan looked at the two children, one was clever, the other was calm, and the thought that it was because of Teacher Zhou that they helped, became willing.

His friend is called Lin Xiaosheng. He is only in his early twenties. He works as an assistant in a foreign trade company. The company is small, with five or six people in total. The office is also in the best location. He took the three of them for a walk, pointed to several ten-storey buildings and said, "This is the best office building in the provincial capital. It is full of white-collar workers and their salaries are high. You can eat The place is different, one side is a mom-and-pop restaurant run by a local, and the other is a big hotel that just stayed in. The mom-and-pop restaurant is generally hygienic, the place is small, and the big hotel is too expensive, so it’s always not good to eat.”

Lin Xiaosheng not only said, but also took them around. Sure enough, this is a scene often seen in the development of Chinese cities. On one side is a brand-new steel forest, and white-collar workers enter and exit, as if they have already entered a well-off society. The original appearance of the city, low-slung bungalows, potholed streets, and small citizens dressed in rustic clothes.

But this is an inevitable scene in the process of the city, so most people, including Lin Xiaosheng, don't feel that there is anything wrong with it because they are used to it. What they complain about is the inconvenience of their own lives.Xia Fan followed him to look all the way down, and there were some small shops around. At this time, foreign fast food was not so popular, and people didn’t know how to decorate it in a simple, clean and bright way. They were all mom-and-pop shops. Liangpi, rice noodles, pancakes and fruits, small stir-fry shops, it’s all gone, and looking at the suits and skirts on those white-collar workers, I think they are not satisfied with what they eat.

Xia Fan, who had seen the world, was immediately tempted.

The four of them walked a little further before finding a middle-class hotel at home. They ordered four dishes and one soup. Since Lin Xiaosheng had to go to work in the afternoon, they ordered three bottles of beer—no Xia Fan's.With wine, they are all men. Although there is a big difference in age, they can talk freely. Taking advantage of the heat, Xia Fan asked how many people there are in a building, how much money is usually spent for lunch, and what are the meals? After chatting for two full hours, Lin Xiaosheng left him his office phone number before leaving, saying that he could call him directly in the future.But this time, Wang Qiuchuan rushed to settle the bill.

It was only two o'clock when the group broke up, Wang Qiuchuan had other things to do, so he separated from Xia Fangufeng, and agreed to meet at the bus station at four o'clock.Xia Fan took Gu Feng to visit those mom-and-pop stores from beginning to end, asking about the prices, and inquiring about the price of renting a house nearby. Seeing that the business was good, he even bought it to taste the taste. Gu Feng just patronized drinking. The son is full.

As he was walking around, Gu Feng stopped. Xia Fan thought something was wrong. He followed his gaze and saw an acquaintance. The two men in black who helped him stand guard last time were following a second Behind the ten-year-old young man, the young man seemed to be angry, turned his head suddenly, his face was very ugly, and he yelled at the two people, "Go, go, get out of here, and tell my dad by the way, I don't rely on him, I said If you don't rely on him, don't rely on him, I won't give in, let him spend less time thinking about it."

After saying that, he turned his head and left. The two men hesitated for a while, but they still didn't dare to follow and stopped in place.

Gu Feng and Xia Fan were stunned by this scene. What Gu Feng thought was that it turned out that bodyguards were so difficult to do. He was envious after seeing Zhang Qiang, so he stopped thinking now.Xia Fan had a good impression of the two bodyguards. What he thought was that this customer had a really bad temper.Turn around and forget about it.
