Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 261: Prosperity

The factory was some distance away from the dormitory. Ji Yunyun was too lazy to run back and forth for work, so she applied for accommodations at the factory, and the factory agreed.

Ji Yunyun immediately started working in the factory. It was not until Saturday, which was a rare break, that she went back to her husband's place and told him about it.

Li Zhi was speechless, and still said, “The factory is a bit chaotic, so you should stay at home.”

But when Ji Yunyun heard these words, she thought that Li Zhi wanted to keep her at home. Hmph, I went back and home, and now he’s going to try and persuade me? Fat chance.

So she refused.

Li Zhi didn't say any more. He saw with the way she was that talking more would be useless.

Now that she was back, Ji Yunyun returned to her parents' home. She wanted to go back and say that she had started working to make money and to show off that she was no longer a housewife.

But as soon as she returned, she was scolded by Mother Ji, who scolded her to pieces. Ji Yunyun then left in anger.

Because of this, Mother Ji was so angry that she laid in bed for a whole day.

When Ji Jianyun found out, he was really angry, but he didn't say anything. Su Danhong could tell that Ji Yunyun had almost exhausted the last bit of brother-sister affection her husband had for her.

But she didn't get too involved in this matter. The weather has been very sunny these days. In this season, they could plant more things. They mainly plant peanuts and soybeans, which were very popular in the college town. The mung beans were also very popular. The mung bean yield was high and the maturity cycle was shorter than other crops.

Ji Jianyun took the workers to plant seeds.

At the same time, he also went to Lao Ma's house and visited for a while.

It could be said that Lao Ma's family was looking forward to his arrival.

They wanted to sell the orchard to Ji Jianyun, but during their last offer, he was too busy and had no time at all for it.

This time he was more free, so he went over.

After all the procedures were completed, Ji Jianyun had another mountain in his name.

He didn’t plan on planting anything else besides two kinds of fruit trees: cherries and red dates.

The sales volume for red dates was just below cherries. There was no need to worry about selling all of the red dates. They could be dried and stored. He had two shops in Jiangshui City that sold dried dates, and the sales were pretty good.

He didn’t have a truck to use and he had to make deliveries every day, so he went to borrow one from Lao Qin. Lao Qin used it to stock up in the morning and again in the evening. Thus, it was fine for Ji Jianyun to borrow it.

“You've got another orchard?” Lao Qin was a little bit speechless when he heard about it.

Wasn’t this the third orchard?

Ji Jianyun smiled. “The mountain is barren, so we took it to make it thrive.”

Lao Qin was more free recently because he only needed to pick up the goods and bring them back. His parents, wife, and children could help him watch over the goods.

So he didn't hesitate to go with Ji Jianyun, and Ji Jianyun didn't refuse. He and Lao Qin had this kind of relationship.

Lao Qin told him about his plans to buy another shop and wanted to ask for his opinion.

Ji Jianyun said, “With the economic development in this area, the sooner you buy, the better.”

He was very optimistic about their area. Although it was a rural area and not very prosperous, there were many factories here. There were factories for clothing and leather shoes. Recently, a plastic furniture factory moved there. The economy was boosted a lot, and there were more workers.

Moreover, Lao Qin’s family could work. Father Qin and Mother Qing were not very old yet. Although Zhang Xueli was a little younger, she was still capable. Now that the children were older, they could also help. If there were two shops, it would definitely be busy.

Lao Qin was convinced when he heard Ji Jianyun’s opinion. He believed in Ji Jianyun's vision of the future. If he said it would work, it would work.

Before he told Ji Jianyun, he carefully thought through it and believed it was okay. Now that he heard that Jianyun was in agreement, he decided to do it.

“Are you optimistic about the location?” Ji Jianyun asked.

“I found a place, but it's so expensive.” Lao Qin sighed.

“If you don’t have enough money, then I have some to lend,” Ji Jianyun said.

“No need, I still have some,” Lao Qin said.

The money he owed Jianyun before was paid off, and he saved a lot afterwards. His wife had a falling out with her family, and his wife hated them a lot. She didn’t give them any money, so they had more saved up. There were people who bought goods every day, so they made a lot of money.

The only expense they had was their children's education. There was no need to pay for anything else, so that also helped them in saving a lot of money.

“It doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive now. If you keep running the shop, you'll be able to get back the money you spent. It’ll be really expensive. If you need more, just come to me. We don't have to be polite,” Ji Jianyun said.

“Okay.” Lao Qin nodded with a smile.

After helping Ji Jianyun transport the fruit saplings for a few days, he went to negotiate about the shop. It was a bit far from where he lived, but it was a bit close to where Li Zhi taught.

It was very expensive. The landlord asked for 3,500 yuan, which was a good price.

The shop that Lao Qin was running only cost 2,700 yuan. This shop was smaller than his. Although the location was relatively good, it was still too expensive.

Lao Qin wanted to lower the price, but the landlord refused. 3,500 yuan was not cheap at all.

Lao Qin only had 3,000 yuan prepared. He almost took out his parents' money. He didn't expect that he would need 500 yuan more.

“Let's forget it! It’s such a big sum of money!” Zhang Xueli complained.

But Father Qin had an idea and said, “Go and see if you can borrow it from Jianyun. If you can, then borrow it and pay it back at the end of the month.”

His son's business was doing very well. His parents knew exactly how much money was made. If this money had to be used, then it had to be used.

“Father, do you know how expensive this shop is?” Zhang Xueli had to ask.

With this purchase, her family's savings would be gone again and they would be owing money.

“It's expensive. This shop used to cost 2,700 yuan, but it's been a few years. If you buy a shop in this location today, you might not be able to buy it for 3,000 yuan. It's close to a middle school, and the business is similar to your current shop,” Mother Qin said. She also supported buying the shop.

In addition to that, Lao Qin really wanted it. Thus, he went over to borrow money from Ji Jianyun.

“3,500? This is indeed a bit expensive, but it's not much different if you buy it,” Ji Jianyun said.

The county school was over there. It's the best middle school, and there were many residents nearby. How good was it to open a shop there?

He also admired Lao Qin for doing this. He did a really good job finding this location.
