FSC [QT] Chapter 86.1

Jin Qiaoqiao still felt a little unwilling in her heart.

This was her second life. There would probably be no one else as lucky as her in the world. Would she still live a life of mediocrity and dullness again?

Familiar with the future course of history, she knew that Zhang Youdong would not be able to do this job for a lifetime. In less than ten years, the food factory would declare bankruptcy due to heavy losses.

Some of the workers in the food factory would be arranged to work in other factories, while others would be half persuaded and half forced to go through the procedures for early retirement.

However, the lucky ones who were assigned to other factories did not enjoy their luck for long.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, a large number of state-owned factories were impacted by private and foreign capital.

In addition, due to improper internal management of state-owned factories, low work enthusiasm, and conservative thinking of the workers in the state-owned factories, a large number of layoffs soon began.

Since then, workers were no longer synonymous with the iron rice bowl.

In other words, this kind of stable life would only last about ten years.

In the late 1990s, China’s economy developed rapidly, and with it came a rapid rise in prices.

At that time, Zhang Youdong might be able to find a security job in another company, but the salary was definitely not enough to cover the expenses of the whole family, at least, not enough to ensure that their daughter could go to a good school and study abroad for a master’s degree after graduating from university.

She understood that opportunities were limited.

But, she didn’t know the lottery numbers in the future because she had never paid attention to the stock market, let alone which year the stock market was the hottest.

The only thing she knew was that the housing prices would rise to abnormal levels in the future, but she had no capital.

Even at the current time when housing prices were the lowest, she still couldn’t afford a small house of 20 to 30 square meters in the city.

The only thing Jin Qiaoqiao knew was that business was good in the 1980s.

Clothes and watches shipped from the south were very popular on the mainland. At that time, almost all those who were brave enough to open clothing stores made a lot of money in this wave of going into the sea.

Looking at her husband who was drinking and eating without any ambition, Jin Qiaoqiao thought unwillingly.

Since Zhang Youdong was unwilling to go into business-like in his previous life, why didn’t he let her do it?

Bang, bang, bang—

Jin Qiaoqiao’s heartbeat accelerated, hammering her chest like a drum.

Yes, why couldn’t she? (T/N: Congratulations! Finally, your IQ has improved a bit! Keep up, woman!)

From a woman’s perspective, she had a better understanding of local fashion trends. When purchasing goods from the south, she avoided some clothing styles that might be overstocked and ensured that the goods she purchased were in line with the fashion of the season.

In fact, instead of asking Zhang Youdong, who had no experience in the clothing business at this time, to quit his security job and go into the clothing business, it would be better for her to do it herself.

That night, Jin Qiaoqiao proposed to Zhang Youdong her idea of ​​going to the south to purchase goods.

“You are so brave!”

Zhang Youdong sat up suddenly from the bed and suddenly remembered that his daughter was sleeping behind a curtain, so he immediately lowered his voice.

“Let’s not talk about the money for purchasing goods. Let me ask you, if you leave, I have to go to work, who will take care of the child? If anything happens to our Shengnan, I want to see if you will regret it.”

“Also, if you dare to go to the south to purchase goods, aren’t you afraid of being caught by the police and charged with speculation?”

These days, speculating in trade was a crime. If the amount was large, one might even be sentenced to death.

In Zhang Youdong’s opinion, his family was living a good life, so there was no need to take such a big risk.

The man who took a leave of absence from his job in their factory and went to the south was because the pressure at home was too great. He had five children and the elderly in his family were seriously ill and needed a lot of money for treatment. He and his wife’s salary could not afford such a burden, so he wanted to go to the south to fight.

However, they only had one daughter, so the expenses were not that much.

“For the first time to purchase goods, I don’t plan to buy too many clothes. I’ll just test the waters first.”

Jin Qiaoqiao also considered these issues that Zhang Youdong considered.

Twelve years was enough for her to be more rational and consider the possible problems before doing things.

“The bulk of our expenses these years have been spent on honoring our mother, and I have saved a little money.”

In the beginning, Jin Qiaoqiao would buy some small things she liked, but later when she had a child, she was much more restrained in spending money.

Over the years, she had saved more than a thousand yuan. She calculated that this money was enough for her first purchase.
