Framed at the beginning: Female educated youth forced to marry disabled military officer

"Okay, I guess I was wrong."

Seeing that he stopped asking questions, Meng Xiaoman picked up the book and started reading again.

Xiao Xiangdong packed up, got on the bed, and took the book from her hand, "It's time to go to bed."

"I'll finish reading this chapter." Meng Xiaoman reached out but failed to reach it.

Xiao Xiangdong turned off the light with a swift movement of his fingers.

Now, it’s time to try happiness.

By the way, let me ask you about the question just now.

After several storms, Xiao Xiangdong finally got the answer and put a big √ on the first item in the table in his mind.

Although the clothing store does not make as much money as when it first opened, it still makes nearly ten thousand yuan a month. Combined with the income from the tailor shop, the net income is fourteen to five thousand yuan a month.

After using the money to renovate the villa, half of the money earned can be saved.

However, she has not found a suitable business opportunity yet, so she has to save the money first.

A few days later, Jiang Ruolin suddenly came to Meng Xiaoman and said that she wanted to do business and asked her if she would like to join.

Jiang Ruolin likes clothes and pays attention to fashion trends. She knows that the current clothing industry is very hot. Gu Kangping happens to have connections in clothing factories in Yangcheng. She was inspired by Meng Xiaoman's opening of a clothing store and felt that she could also seize this opportunity.

Anyway, she didn't have any children, and she was just sitting there doing nothing, so she might as well find something to do. Moreover, Gu Kangping's factory was getting bigger and bigger, and she had to socialize outside every day and come home later and later. She was tired of thinking about him and waiting for him, and wanted to divert her attention.

Jiang Ruolin has connections, financial resources, and aesthetic sense. The clothing industry is currently in an era where demand exceeds supply, so it is difficult for her not to succeed.

Meng Xiaoman: "I can invest money, but I may not have the energy to manage the store. You know I have two stores to manage and a child at home."

Jiang Ruolin: "That's no problem. I was planning to hire someone to do the specific things. We just need to grasp the general direction."

I have been influenced by Gu Kangping since I was a child, and after I got married, I learned a lot of knowledge in this area by following him to socialize with people. If you can spend some money and let others do it, you don't need to do it yourself. You just need to make a good decision and ensure the result.

After some discussion, the two decided that it would be most appropriate to open a chain clothing store, targeting the mid-range market. Currently, there are not many individual clothing stores in Haishi, and the quality of goods varies. As long as the quality and price are acceptable and the supply is stable, it is easy to stand out.

Jiang Ruolin planned to invest 300,000 yuan to open a clothing chain store, and Meng Xiaoman invested 200,000 yuan. Jiang Ruolin was in charge of management and personnel, and Meng Xiaoman was only a consultant and dividend collector, so the profit share was naturally lower.

"It's enough for me to get 30 percent of the dividends," said Meng Xiaoman.

In fact, Jiang Ruolin can do this herself, and letting her participate is already giving her an advantage.

Jiang Ruolin waved her hand, "No, I learned how to open a clothing store from you. I've taken advantage of you, but I can't take advantage of you with this share."

In addition, she also took a fancy to Meng Xiaoman's abilities. She has everything from craftsmanship to vision to courage and ideas.

The best outcome of doing business is that both parties feel they have gotten the better deal.

In the end, it was decided that Jiang Ruolin would hold 64% of the shares and Meng Xiaoman would hold 36%.

It took another three days to determine the store's location, decoration, types of goods to be purchased, pricing, etc. Meng Xiaoman no longer had to worry about the subsequent work.

Half a month later, Jiang Ruolin came to her with a happy face and told her that the store would open on Sunday and asked her to go and cut the ribbon.

After the sound of firecrackers, the red silk was removed, revealing a plaque with the words "Yilin Clothing Store" printed on it.

Yilin Clothing Store opened twelve clothing stores in Hai City at once, and they opened at the same time. This grand event was featured in Hai City’s best-selling evening newspaper. Within two days, the name spread throughout Hai City.

Everyone is proud to visit Yilin clothing store.

Jiang Ruolin looked at the store full of people and smiled, "Your idea of ​​inviting reporters to report is really great."

Meng Xiaoman smiled and said, "You two are very prestigious. This special report is not something that ordinary people can have."

Although the market is gradually liberalized, people are used to being afraid. They open a small shop and want to make money secretly. They don’t even dare to tell their acquaintances, let alone publicize it.

"After a month, if the profit is good, I want to open a few more. Do you think it's okay?"

Although Jiang Ruolin's previous life was pampered, it lacked passion. Now she finds that opening a store and making money is indeed addictive.

No wonder my husband is so busy and unwilling to stop.

"Opening three or four more stores will be enough. If there are too many stores, the number of customers and profits of each store will decrease."

Jiang Ruolin nodded and discussed the location of the new store with Meng Xiaoman.

On the 20th day of the 11th lunar month, Meng Xiaoman returned home as usual. Xiao Xiangdong had already prepared a table full of sumptuous meals for her.

There are four people in the family, and usually they only have three side dishes, but today they set up a whole table, and all of them were Meng Xiaoman’s favorites.

"What day is today?"

Xiao Xiangdong hugged An An and said the words he had taught him in advance, "Happy birthday, Mom!"

Meng Xiaoman then remembered that in her two lifetimes, she had rarely celebrated her birthday and had never thought about this matter.

"Thank you Baby."

Xiao Xiangdong took out a box and handed it to her, "Happy birthday."

Meng Xiaoman opened it and found a thin gold chain with an exquisitely carved jade Buddha hanging at the end.

Cuicui also gave a gift, holding a glass jar with stars she had made herself out of candy wrappers. The brightly colored stars looked very pretty in the transparent glass jar.

"Thank you, Cuicui. Aunt Meng likes it very much."

After dinner, Xiao Xiangdong took out the cream cake he bought at KFC and put candles on it.

This is how Meng Xiaoman spent her 27th birthday in this world.

Winter vacation is approaching, and Meng Xiaoman and Xiao Xiangdong plan to return to Qinghe Brigade to celebrate the New Year.

Zhang Changming and the other two hadn't been home for more than a year, so they decided to go back.

But Xiao Xiangdong had to go to work and Meng Xiaoman had a shop, so they asked the three to go back first.

Before leaving, Meng Xiaoman distributed the clothing store's dividends to three people. After five months, each person received a dividend of about 200 yuan.

"There are very few opportunities like the summer holidays, and now this is the norm."

Meng Xiaoman was worried that the three of them were feeling disappointed because they made money so easily before.

Xiao Xiangmei smiled and said, "Sister Xiaoman, don't worry, we all understand. We haven't done much in the past few months, but we can still get 200 yuan. The three of us are already very satisfied. Besides, we have already earned back the 500 yuan we invested in the summer vacation. These are dividends given to us every month because you take care of us. We are not the kind of people who don't know what is good for us."

Zhang Changming nodded. He had no big needs to spend money. This money was enough for him and his grandfather to live for a long time.

"By the way, Sister Xiaoman, I have to go back anyway. I was thinking of buying some things at the wholesale market and selling them back in Anping County. Do you think it's okay?"

Ever since she opened the door to making money, Xiao Xiangmei would think about what she could do to earn some money whenever she had nothing to do.
