She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 918 - 825: Famine Era 66 (4000)_2
During the summer vacation, in order to experience Mom’s hardships, several children came to help her. The boys followed her to procure, deliver, and unload goods, while the girls learned to make clothes in the tailor shop. If the clothing store didn’t need these physical tasks, they’d help their uncle and aunt, or their little aunt, make tofu and serve dishes. In short, nobody was lazy. After all, not only Mom’s children, but even Ji Yeluo and Ye Zhiqiu’s children came over to help their own parents. Could the children of Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law outrun them?
Perhaps because there were more children to share the tasks, and the variety of goods increased, the result was that the income for July and August not only exceeded ten thousand, but also resulted in signing a contract with Xu Bin’s shoe workshop. From now on, she would be a partner for [Xu Ji] brand clothing. Since shoe designs couldn’t always be inspired like women’s clothing, she didn’t invest any money and only counted on sales commissions.
As for how far [Xu Ji], phonetic translation {Xu Ji} brand shoes will go, it depends on their own fortune.
When the children returned at the end of the summer vacation, Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, Ye Yu, and she all tacitly paid each child fifty yuan in wages.
They had worked for two months, even though their meals and accommodation were covered, considering that nobody was lazy, they helped each other, were observant, and able to endure hardships, they were paid fifty yuan. Of course, this wage was predetermined by Ye Huan. It was for her family, and the other families were not responsible, but doing some work for their uncle and aunt was expected, wasn’t it?
Ye Yu’s snack shop now earns at least thousands of yuan a month. In summer, it sells Cold Rice Noodles. In winter, it sells rice noodles and Spicy Hot Pot. In short, everything is covered, and various iced drinks are sold as a side business. Despite the small shop, it really makes money.
Ye Yu also had to admire Ye Huan’s foresight, because a month earning US$ 2,000 or even 3,000 is equivalent to her previous one to two years’ salary. The difference is so big, no wonder so many people run their own businesses. But having foresight is not enough; you need skills. Her elder sister created this opportunity for her, for which she is extremely grateful.
Ye Jiazhe and his wife were also grateful. They earned hard-earned money from selling tofu, although not as much as Ye Huan did. However, they used to have a daily income of thirty to forty yuan. Since selling fruit, tofu, tofu pudding, tofu, tofu skin, and other varieties, plus the night market stinky tofu, their daily income has increased to sixty yuan. So, by month’s end, they had an income of one to two thousand yuan, which before, was unimaginable. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Of course, they shared some of their earnings with Ye Huan. Ye Yu gave thirty percent, while Ye Jiazhe’s share wasn’t much, since the fruit was merely incidental. Each month, they still managed to give three to five hundred in commissions to her. Combined with Ye Yu’s contributions, it amounted to at least a thousand yuan.
From March to the end of August, within half a year, Ye Huan had already saved US$ 40,000.
Five months later, at the end of the year, her savings unexpectedly reached US$ 100,000.
In just over a year, she had an annual income of one hundred thousand?
Not only did her family not believe it, even she felt like she was dreaming. But her income came from three aspects: the clothing store, tailor shop, and shoe workshop.
However, after a year of honing, she realized that the bags and shoes she chose seemed very popular. Thus, in the spring of ’85, she opened a shoe store on another street in Wangfujing, mainly selling various leather goods, like bags, shoes, belts, wallets, briefcases, etc. These goods were authentic, approved by her. During this era, imitation levels had not reached the rampant stage seen later. So, as long as she approved, she’d stock them in her store. Naturally, the name was also [Huan·Yan].
Because of this shoe store, she registered a company primarily retailing clothes, shoes, bags, and other goods. With a company, transactions with the savings institution became formal and secure, unlike before.
Everything was legitimate and legal, and because it was real enough, instead of weekly visits, she started going once a month.
During other times when goods needed adjustment, she merely had to make a phone call or send a telegram. Once her partners received the deposit she sent over, they’d ship the goods. Shipping invoices would be promptly sent over too, at which point she’d follow procedures to remit payment.
