Chapter 5: Ben Xiaokang
Twenty notices were posted, but no one came to the door for two days at home. When the house in the village next week was completed, Chen Dayong was also idle at home. The family of three couldn't help but stay at home and worry. Although Chen Feng knew that he was almost sure to make money as a contractor at this time, he was a little bottomless when he saw that there was no business for two days.
"Dad, why don't I get some more notices and go to other towns to post them, and post more." Chao Xiaolan built yƬ.
"That's it, get more, I'll post it separately from you." Zhao Dayong nodded with a sad face.
"Is Dayong at home?" When the couple just wanted to go out, someone came to the door. It turned out to be Chen Deren, the village head and village party secretary of Chenjia Village, a thin old man in his forties, who had been re-elected to the position of the village's top leader for several consecutive terms.
Chen Deren has a very high rank in the village, Chen Dayong still has to call him Ah Gong, although the two are familiar with each other in the same village, they have no contact before.
Chen Deren is a very straightforward person, and he didn't be polite to Chen Dayong, or he didn't bother to be polite to Chen Dayong at all, and directly explained his intentions straight to the point. It turned out that the old 2 of his family was engaged at the beginning of this year, and he wanted to get married in the second half of the year, so their family was ready to build a new house. The villagers in the village, who doesn't know who, Zhao Dayong's craftsmanship and personality he is very relieved, and he just saw the construction team notice posted, so he came to the door. Of course, the main consideration is the cost. They are all acquaintances and the other party's parents, plus there is a little kinship, Chen Dayong doesn't dare to give him an indiscriminate quotation for his elder and hack his money.
The first business came to the door, and he was still the village elder, of course Chen Dayong did not dare to slack off, nor did he be sloppy, and after a little estimate, he quoted him a price, how much to give for the contractor and the material, and how much to give for the contractor. He has been in this industry for more than ten years, but he has not done it in vain. The offer was very reasonable, and almost no money was made. Besides, Chen Dayong is not a brainless person, even if this first business is not profitable, he must try to do a good job, otherwise who will give him work in the future?
I think Chen Deren has also understood the market before, and he is very satisfied with Chen Dayong's offer, when he nodded and promised that he would contract labor and materials to ensure quality, he could immediately go to "Lao Xiucai" to make an agreement, and let him lead the team to construction starting tomorrow.
The family happily followed Chen Deren out of the door, came to the "old Xiucai" to make an agreement and sign it. Chen Deren pretended to be polite and asked Chen Dayong to go home with him to get a deposit of 1,000 yuan first. Chen Dayong was very knowledgeable and didn't even say no, but of course Chen Deren didn't insist.
After receiving the first order, and it was the work of the village elder, Chen Dayong certainly did not dare to slack off, when even riding his phoenix car to contact all the members of the Xingwang construction team, informing him to start work tomorrow, and then he kept contacting individual building materials merchants such as bricks, tiles, cement and lime, and ordered from them, because it was the first time to pick up the goods, and successively spent hundreds of deposits. This time, Chen Dayong has the courage to break the kettle, and he is not ambiguous and economical at all.
By the time Chen Dayong returned, it was already dark. Zhao Xiaolan and Chen Feng have been waiting for a long time.
The family of three almost lost sleep all night, and the next day, before dawn, Chen Dayong brought all the tools to Chen Deren's house.
Chen Dayong led the construction team and himself, a total of 11 people, and worked for half a month to build a one-story building. During this period, several people took the initiative to come to the door to inquire about the cost of the house, and one of them had already signed an agreement and paid a deposit, so Chen Dayong explained to Chen Deren and divided half of the manpower to build the house. Because the two families were not in a hurry, they didn't say anything, and the manpower was barely able to make up the past, but a month later, after taking three jobs in a row, the manpower was obviously insufficient. After discussing with his wife, and under the repeated encouragement of Chen Feng's son, Chen Dayong gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, even if he decided to expand the construction team, he recruited ten people in one go, this time he didn't give a deposit, those people had already heard the rumors, as long as there was work to do and money to earn, how could it be more serious?
Soon, three months have passed, the village chief Chen Deren's three-story building has already been completed, the quality of the project is very good, the price is fair, won a lot of reputation, Chen Deren is also very simple to settle the account, with this first working capital, Chen Dayong ruthlessly spent a lot of money to install a fixed telephone at home, this is still the kind of operator, but at this time the fixed phone is extremely luxurious, the price can make people startled, almost 3,000 yuan, or asked the village chief Chen Deren to find a relationship to give a gift, I will do it, otherwise I can only wait. The reason why Chen Dayong installed such an expensive phone is not mainly for the convenience of others to contact him, at this time, there are still a few people who are willing to pay to call the door, the main purpose is to show wide, that is, to tell others that he Chen Dayong has made money, and the people who have installed the phone at home will certainly not have no money to deliberately default on the wages of workers and the payment of those building materials manufacturers, but in fact, Chen Dayong has already left little money after taking the money to install this phone and paying a part of the wages to the workers. But after installing an expensive phone at home, the benefits are still obvious, usually people in the village who don't come and go, but also often come to the door to pull relations, those building materials bosses no longer insist on settling the final accounts, the most obvious is that the business volume has also risen sharply.
The development of the prosperous construction team through three months of development, sure enough, is very prosperous, the work began to be a little overwhelmed, the size of the team has been expanded again and again, now the official staff has reached 50 people, almost the surrounding towns and villages of the masons are empty, the number of casual workers once reached nearly 100 people, has gradually become a climate.
When almost half a year passed, Chen Dayong and his wife roughly settled the accounts, and they actually made a net profit of more than 50,000 yuan during this time, of course, including some bad debts that had not been confiscated and some additional expenses at home, but despite this, there were still more than 30,000 cash balances on hand, and the two couples did not sleep happily all night.
Looking at the gratifying changes in his family in the past six months, Chen Feng was very relieved, and he was also very grateful to God for giving him this opportunity to be reborn. The 14-inch black-and-white TV at home has been replaced by a 21-inch "big color TV", a washing machine, a refrigerator, and a telephone are also installed.
But as a person who has been reborn in the 21st century, Chen Feng will certainly not be satisfied, although his family now has some money, it is still far from enough for him. As the saying goes, "10,000 is not rich, 100,000 is just starting, 10,000 is a small household, and 10 million is a big household." Their family is still a million years old.
He recalled the way to get rich quickly in this era, and after a few days of pondering, he thought of the stock market at this time. In his previous life, when he was "speculating in stocks", Chen Feng also followed a few roommates in the university to join in the fun, but he was unlucky and lost all his money in the end. But therefore, he is also very aware of the development history of the stock market in the past 20 years, including the memory of the stock market in 1991, this year is undoubtedly a very important year in the history of the development of the stock market, in the first big bull market of the "golden stock speculation period", as long as you can buy stocks this year, it is equivalent to buying a lottery ticket with a 100% winning rate. In this year's stock market, two "mythical stocks" were born, one is Ai Xiang Electronics, the other is Yuyuan Garden Shopping Mall, in 1992, the former earnings ratio reached 500 times, that is to say, if you spend ten yuan to buy a share now, as long as you throw it next year, this share will become 5,000 yuan, ten shares will become 50,000 yuan, and 100 shares will become 500,000 yuan...... The stocks of Yuyuan shopping malls are also about the same, and next year will also be bullish, breaking through the 10,000 yuan mark per share in one fell swoop. This is an era of golden opportunities, especially in the early days of the stock market, and it is not a myth to get rich overnight.
But the problem now is that Chen Feng is only seven years old, how to persuade his father and mother, who only have a primary school education, to let them travel thousands of miles into the metropolis to buy stocks.
