My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 12 Fake it
On the first night of their new home, when Xu Dong and his wife lay on the bed, it was almost early morning.

Yang Lina was about to turn off the lights to sleep when Xu Dong took out a small gift box from nowhere and stuffed it nervously into her palm.

"What is it that makes it so mysterious?"

Xu Dong didn't speak, and motioned for the other party to open the gift box with his own hands.

Yang Lina carefully opened the wrapping paper, revealing a small square box the size of a fist, and she couldn't help but think about it.

"Hurry up." Xu Dong urged.

"Crack...crack..."

In the box lies a shining diamond ring, which is the pink diamond ring that Xu Dong spent 300 million on before.

Yang Lina covered her mouth with surprise, and whispered, "Husband, is this a real diamond ring?"

"Of course it's true." Xu Dong stretched out three fingers, "It's worth this amount!"

"30,000 yuan?"

Xu Dong shook his head and reminded: "This is a two-carat pink diamond, how could it be worth only 30,000 yuan?"

When Yang Lina heard this, she quickly took the phone from the bedside and searched quickly.

In less than a minute, she raised her head abruptly, and tentatively asked in a trembling voice, "Could it be 1 million?"

"Congratulations, you guessed correctly..." Xu Dong snapped his fingers.

"Husband, you're crazy, how can you buy such an expensive thing?" Yang Lina couldn't understand Xu Dong's thinking for a while.

Xu Dong joked: "Wife, I didn't tell you long ago, our family will not be short of money in the future, you have to adapt to the life of the rich as soon as possible."

"Damn rich man, you just had shit luck this time, but people won't be lucky all their lives. At your spending speed, our family will be defeated sooner or later." Yang Lina said coquettishly.

Xu Dong was speechless after being refuted. The reason is such a reason, but he is a rebirth after all!

He has already reserved the strongest foundation for this family, which is enough to cope with the big changes in the next few decades. Besides, he only loses the family once in a while, so it doesn't hurt at all.

Yang Lina saw that her husband seemed to be stunned, so she hit the railway while it was hot:

"You can take the diamond ring and return it. The money returned will be used to open a supermarket. As long as the supermarket is well managed, our family can be considered a firm foothold in Yanjing."

Xu Dong couldn't beat his wife, so he had to settle for the next best thing, and persuaded again: "Anyway, I have bought it back, even if I want to withdraw it, it will not be able to return it in a short time, why don't you wear it first, and then wait until I find a good buyer... …”

Yang Lina hurriedly interrupted: "No, I'm not used to wearing such an expensive diamond ring. If it breaks, I'll regret it to death, you should take it!"

After finishing speaking, cover the diamond ring box and put it gently on the bedside table.

As a woman, how can you not love jewelry?

It's just that as a mother of five children, Yang Lina has her own considerations. She has had a great fortune to have her present dignity. She doesn't want to leave any hidden dangers to the family.

Xu Dong had no choice but to hug his wife and punish her severely.

As for the ownership of the diamond ring, it seems that he can't keep it. He just hopes that the value of the ring will not depreciate too quickly. After all, the water inside is very deep, and he is extremely satisfied if he can recover 250 million.

……

Early the next morning, the first thing Xu Dong had to do was to get his household registration in order. In a few days, the school would start, so he could not delay the children going to school.

The household registration was rather troublesome, but fortunately, Xu Dong prepared enough materials, and it only took one morning to complete the matter.

The new household registration book will take about a week or so, just in time for the start of school, so there should be no major problems.

After the household registration was settled, Xu Dong had to face a big problem, that is, opening a supermarket.

Originally, opening a supermarket was just a pretense, but I didn't expect that the family would attach so much importance to it, leaving Xu Dong with no room for manoeuvre.

Since it is irreversible, it can only be faked.

The next morning, Xu Dong drove his car and took Dad Xu to the door of the small supermarket.

The supermarket is about one kilometer away from the courtyard, and it takes a few minutes to arrive.

Looking at the storefront that is less than 80 square meters in front of him, Dad Xu's disappointment is beyond words.

"That's it?"

"Yes, online shopping is very common now, and large supermarkets are risky and not cost-effective." Xu Dong said with plausibility.

Dad Xu is not easy to fool, "Then why are you hoarding so many goods, you won't be able to sell them for decades, why are you waiting for the expiration date?"

Generally, the turnover of small supermarkets is between several thousand and 10,000 yuan per day.

There are goods worth 60 million in the basement, and maybe they can be sold for three or 40 years.

Xu Dong quickly used his brain and quickly found a new explanation.

"Uh, this is just the first one, and there will be dozens of them in the future. Otherwise, with just one supermarket, even Cocoa and Lele's tuition will not be able to be earned back."

"Do you manage to open so many supermarkets at once?" Dad Xu questioned again.

"I opened this store before the Chinese New Year, mainly to train employees. After all, they are all small supermarkets with low thresholds. Once you have experience, it will be much easier to expand later."

Xu Dong forcibly explained based on his years of work experience in logistics companies.

Dad Xu finally nodded with satisfaction, at least his son didn't get hard when his head was hot, and he could still clearly recognize the difficulty.

Next, the father and son started cleaning, but the doors were not opened for more than two months, and the supermarket was full of thick dust.

After cleaning, the father and son discussed the purchase of goods.

When I took over the supermarket, except for no commodities, everything else in the supermarket was ready-made. Now, as long as the commodities are put on the shelves, they can be reopened immediately.

According to Xu Dong, the supermarket will focus on fresh food and food in the future. The price of goods is between the large supermarket and the vegetable market, and the customers are mainly young office workers.

You might lose a little a year ago, but after the Spring Festival, you can definitely make a fortune.

Either don't do it, and do it best, this is Xu Dong's life creed.

Dad Xu disagreed, believing that the wastage rate of fresh commodities is not easy to control, and it is easy to cause losses. It is better to be safe and buy more daily necessities.

In the end, Xu Dong successfully persuaded his father. The reason is very simple. There is a batch of food commodities in his warehouse, and the pressure to destock is a bit high.

Of course, these are all excuses. Most of the sources of goods will get the goods from the suppliers, and the warehouse will only be interested and pretend.

On the way home, Dad Xu was still complaining that Xu Dong could not do business and had a backlog of goods.

Xu Dong said that risks and opportunities coexist. At the beginning, he also took over the goods from a large supermarket, and the price was very low. As long as the operation is good, the profit prospects are very impressive.

The more Xu Dong said, the more hilarious he was. In addition, he had heard a lot of insider stories from the logistics company before.

"I have vacuum-sealed all the goods. The shelf life is not a problem. If it's a big deal, I will disassemble it and sell it in bulk. When there is a discount, everyone will rush to buy it."

This time Dad Xu has seen what is called the ugly face of a capitalist, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

In the end, only a dry sentence was returned: "In business, we must be honest."
