The Landlady and The Amnesiac

43

The excuse of “not having enough time” has never been valid for Zhou Jianguo.

How can you not have time? It’s said that life isn’t fair, but whether you’re rich or poor, everyone has only 24 hours a day. Why is it that some people can find time to make money while others can’t?

Time really shouldn’t take the blame.

Zhou Jianguo spoke with emphasis to Luo Bei, “You’re young and not in a relationship, so among everyone, you have the most time. If you’re willing, you can make time. If you’re not willing, don’t say you don’t have time. We’re going to launch a plan to use vending machines in our hotel. Once sales increase, so will profits. Of course, our investment won’t be small. I know you don’t have much money on hand. The money you made from stocks is for buying a car. I don’t have much money either, but we can’t let our business come to a standstill. We have to quickly make money to fill this gap.”

Luo Bei humbly accepted, “Okay, I understand. I’ll sell sugarcane.”

Her attitude was satisfactory to him, and Zhou Jianguo’s tone improved a lot. “Starting tomorrow, after dinner at home, go sell sugarcane. I’ve already talked to the supplier and bought the machine. Don’t worry, I won’t let you have no time to sleep. You’ll be back by around 10 pm, and after taking a shower, it’ll be eleven o’clock. You’ll be able to fall asleep right away. Wake up at 7 am, and you’ll have had eight hours of sleep, enough energy to work the next day.”

“Okay,” Luo Bei nodded in agreement.

She couldn’t argue with what he said. Indeed, during the time from after work to sleep, she did have some free time. Making a few hundred yuan would be great.

Zhuo Jianguo is right. If they want to expand their business in the unmanned store, they need to invest more. She has already invested all her remaining money in stocks and cannot afford to invest more. He is in the same situation. Therefore, they need to find a way to earn more money as soon as possible. Selling sugarcane is a small business, but it shouldn’t be underestimated because it has low costs and high profits.

In the short term, selling sugarcane is the best way to make money. After all, it didn’t cost much, although they need to avoid the urban management officers….

Then, Zhou Jianguo said, “Actually, I plan to quit my job when the profit of this business exceeds several times our salary. You said before that with the development of the Internet, many things can be bought online. If the prospect is good, we can also open an online store.”

Before meeting Zhou Jianguo, Luo Bei’s biggest plan was to pay off her debts, save more money, and buy a small house in a better neighborhood. But after meeting Zhou Jianguo, she also wanted to conquer the world and become a wealthy woman with a house and a car….

Luo Bei nodded vigorously, “Okay!”

They looked at each other and smiled. To be honest, it’s not easy to find people who share the same goals and are willing to cooperate with you these days.

Zhou Jianguo was grateful that he found Luo Bei to do business with, and Luo Bei was grateful that she won 50,000 yuan that day, otherwise she might have missed this opportunity.

They should have celebrated with a drink at this moment, but both of them sat down and together finished the bag of sugarcane that Zhou Jianguo had prepared.

To Luo Bei, it was really sweet.

When everyone found out that Luo Bei was going to sell sugarcane with Zhou Jianguo, they all expressed their high concern for her.

Grandma Luo thought it was because the business of the unmanned shop was losing money, so she took out her savings passbook. Although there wasn’t much money, it was what she had saved by living frugally. Originally, she wanted to save more for Luo Bei’s dowry when she got married in the future, but the situation was different now, so she had to take it out in advance.
