Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 34.1: The Prodigal Son (69)
Shao Dabao turned his head and looked at Lu Yun’er with a moved face.
Lu Yun’er smiled at him and said: “We add up to more than two hundred taels, enough for you to open a grocery store, so that you won’t run around, I hope you don’t work too hard.”
A grocery store immediately appeared in front of Shao Dabao’s eyes. When he thought of that scene, he immediately felt like he was reaching the peak of his life.
Shao Yu did not speak, but quietly waited for the end of his son’s imagination.
After Shao Dabao woke up, he saw Shao Yu looking at him for the first time, and he asked, “Dad, do you think our plan is good?”
Shao Yu pondered for a moment, then said, “I think it’s too early for you to open a shop now.”
Shao Dabao was stunned when he heard this.
Shao Yu continued: “You can open a store now, but you may have to take a lot of detours. You will be a salesman for a while, and after you have enough experience in these things, it won’t be too late to open a store.”
Shao Dabao was very concerned about Shao Yu’s advice, and he really thought about it seriously after hearing it.
Lu Yun’er was very concerned about whether Shao Dabao would endure hardship, so she asked: “Uncle Shao, do you think it’s good for Brother Dabao to go to the countryside to sell goods now?”
Shao Yu nodded and said, “There are guests from the city in the city, and there are guests from the countryside in the countryside. Only by fully understanding them can we do business better.”
Lu Yun’er added: “It’s really hard to go to the countryside to sell goods.”
Shao Yu laughed and said, “You don’t suffer a little when you’re young, why don’t you endure hardship when you’re old? When young people suffer a little, they know right and wrong, and who is really kind to themselves.”
Lu Yuner glanced at Shao Dabao.
Shao Dabao has been doing business for so long, and he is already familiar with the hard life. He is no longer the Shao Dabao who could not bear any hardship. He sees that his career is hopeless. If he wants to stand out, it seems that there is only this way in front of him.
In the past, Shao Dabao may not have had such a strong fighting spirit, but now Lu Yun’er is staring at him. He doesn’t want his future wife to suffer with him, so it is extremely important to spell out a future for her.
“I will go to the countryside tomorrow to sell goods.” Shao Dabao said.
Shao Yu nodded and said to the children: “No matter what you want to do in the future, whether you want to study, practice medicine, make lanterns all your life, you can do anything, but there is only one thing. The thing that is the most important.”
“What’s that?” Shao Xiaocao looked at Shao Yu suspiciously.
Shao Yu gave her a loving look, and said with a smile, “Money.”
The four of them heard this, only Lu Yun’er frowned slightly.
Shao Xiaocao used to be the one who carried the burden of the whole family. Amao begged for many years, and even Shao Dabao had a very deep understanding of money in the past two years.
On the contrary, Lu Yun’er, who has been under the protection of Dr. Lu, seems to be a bit inhumane. If it weren’t for love, she would not have looked at the poor and white Shao Dabao.
“Only with enough money can you have the confidence to do anything. When facing something that makes you unhappy, because you have money, you have a way out and the courage to refuse.” Shao Yu said.
Shao Xiaocao nodded and said, “If I had money, when Zhang Meng came to ask for debts, I would not be threatened by him.”
Shao Dabao lowered his head and said softly, “I’m sorry, it’s my fault.”
Shao Xiaocao smiled and said, “I didn’t come to blame you for this.”
Shao Dabao raised his head, looked at his sister, and said, “If I had money, I wouldn’t let him come to ask for debts, and I wouldn’t lose this finger.”
He did not promise again that he would not gamble, but looking at Shao Dabao’s eyes, everyone present was willing to believe him.
Shao Yu looked at Lu Yun’er and said, “If you have money, you can buy books by yourself, and even open a medical clinic by yourself.”
Lu Yun’er likes medicine, and being able to learn is a great blessing for her. She has never dreamed that she can own a medical clinic. Now Shao Yu described the scene to her, she just thought about it, and couldn’t help curling the corners of her mouth.
But soon she thought of what her father had said, and said, “What a tacky thing to talk about money.”
Although Dr. Lu opened a medical clinic, he basically did not make any money, and only kept the father and daughter fed and clothed. The reason is that Dr. Lu is quite aloof, there is always a sense of shame about making money.
When facing some patients from poor families, Dr. Lu only charges a cost, and may even subsidize it.
“People living in the world are vulgar in themselves. Even the monks and Taoists in the mountains still ask for incense money. Earning money by ability is what you deserve, and there is nothing to be ashamed of.” Shao Yu said with a smile.
Shao Yu’s words are completely contrary to the education Lu Yun’er has received for more than ten years.
Shao Dabao said from the side: “People will spend money to wear clothes and eat while living. Since money is tacky, why do you need to wear clothes and eat?”
Lu Yun’er heard this and looked down at her clothes. Although she didn’t speak again, she agreed with Shao Yu’s statement.
“Dad, I’m a salesman now, and I don’t need so much money at all. What should I do with this money?” Shao Dabao has been a businessman for a year, but he knows more about money than the other three. He deeply and desperately want to make money. Shao Yu glanced at him and asked, “Do you have any ideas?”
Shao Dabao came over and said, “I heard a piece of news some time ago that the government school is now dilapidated and the area is too cramped. The higher-ups plan to choose another place to build a new government school there. ”
The school is the place where students study, and many industries can be born around a school.
Shao Dabao added: “It’s just that the location is still under discussion, but it’s a choice between the western suburbs and the north of the city.”
Shao Yu heard this and asked immediately: “Where did you hear this news? ”
Shao Dabao said: “When I was selling goods in the east of the city, I heard someone say that, the person who said this, her husband was teaching in the government school. ”
Shao Yu asked a few more questions. Shao Dabao was very concerned when he received the news, so he remembered the source very clearly.
The map of the entire Nanzhou City appeared in Shao Yu’s mind. Indeed, only these two places are suitable. If you want to build a prefectural city, you will probably really choose one of these two places.
“If the news is true, then this is indeed a good opportunity. ”
Shao Dabao got Shao Yu’s approval with a happy face, and then turned to Amao and said, “Big Brother, you are in the private school this time, and you can also inquire with the teacher, although I don’t study in the school now, I might be able to find out some news.”
