half-baked life

Chapter 45 We have no reputation and no license, so we are really unreliable.

The tone of the man opposite suddenly became extremely frivolous. Jiang Xiaoping frowned in disgust and subconsciously wanted to say something to defend Zhang Jiefang, but what the man said next really shocked her.

"I'm calling this because I have nothing else to do. I just want to trouble you to tell Sun Jiefang for us. Don't always refuse to answer the phone and avoid us. This is meaningless. Not only do we know where she lives, but we also know Where does her son go to school, and where are her parents, brothers and sisters...hehe!"

The man suddenly laughed twice, "We all know exactly where your home is. Hahaha, but don't worry, we are a society governed by law now, and we can't mess around...right? Please help me to persuade you. Zhang Jiefang, it is only natural to pay back debts!"

"What are you thinking, Sister Xiaoping? My eyes are wide open... I haven't connected the phone for any reason. I won't be able to make any calls after a while."

Zhang Jiefang had been busy all afternoon that day, and finally had some free time. She took off her work clothes to take off her work clothes. The dark gray short-sleeves inside had been wet with sweat for countless times, and there were conspicuous white sweat stains on them.

Jiang Xiaoping still remembers her grinning face at that time, and she could not tell that she was about to be cornered by the debt collection company.

Zhang Jiefang cried for a long time that day. This was the first time Jiang Xiaoping saw Zhang Jiefang cry. She didn't say how she was deceived. She just kept saying that she deserved it, "It's all my fault!"

But Jiang Xiaoping can also guess roughly. She still remembers the big bouquet of red roses at the front desk on Chinese Valentine's Day. When they found out that someone gave them to Zhang Jiefang, everyone in the bathing center was surprised and happy, because everyone knew Zhang Jiefang. Her ex-husband was nothing, and she thought she had finally met her lover.

But when she heard Zhang Jiefang say that she met the other person online, Jiang Xiaoping's heart immediately skipped a beat. She reminded Zhang Jiefang several times in a roundabout way, "It's better to meet more often, and move around more with parents and relatives."

"He said he would take the New Year's Day holiday and come see me then." Zhang Jiefang said, holding roses in her arms, her cheeks blushing shyly. Under everyone's good-natured banter, the deep wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and forehead were obviously smoothed. The smile seemed to be filled with sweet honey, and Jiang Xiaoping also became happy.

As New Year's Day approached, Zhang Jiefang's mood was obviously much lower. Jiang Xiaoping asked her if she had quarreled with her "boyfriend."

"...we broke up a long time ago, I...we are not suitable for each other." Zhang Jiefang lowered her head and muttered, obviously not wanting to say more. Jiang Xiaoping naturally understood and stopped asking. She never expected that Zhang Jiefang would encounter a "pig killing plate"!
"Anyway, I don't have a penny in my pocket now, and my credit card is maxed out. They... they can do whatever they want."

Zhang Jiefang wiped the tears on her face indiscriminately and said, but before these cruel words fell to the ground, her tight lips trembled even more, and her hands stained with tears and snot covered her face in despair. , she couldn't help but howl again.

"I really... That house was originally intended to be left... for Ji Wen'er to take a wife in the future, but now... now it's all over!"

"Later I found a lawyer and took Jiefang with me to negotiate with the mortgage loan company. I found out that the company was not a serious company at all. It was just like a loan shark. I guess it was the same as the 'slaughtering pig' group. My son also has some connections."

Jiang Xiaoping sighed quietly, "After struggling for half a year, the loan shark relented. The interest of more than ten points per year and late payment fees were waived, and the arrears were also discounted by 90%. But even so , there are also [-] million to pay back, almost [-] a month, plus her son who spends a lot of money... Jiefang’s income now is not enough at all, she is just demolishing the east wall to pay for the west wall. "

"...Oh, does it have anything to do with me?" After listening to her mother's story, Jiang He just replied indifferently. Then he leaned over and pulled out "The Loss of Sympathy" from the bookshelf next to him, and started to pretend to be loud. The pages turned with a swishing sound.

Early the next morning, Jiang He, who had huge dark circles under his eyes and saw that he had not slept well last night, said that he had thought about it and finally decided to join Jieping to help bathing.

Compared to Jiang Xiaoping who pretended to be calm, Zhang Jiefang was obviously surprised and happy. "Jiang He, why...how did you suddenly figure it out?"

"Don't I think this can make money? Elderly care and bathing... there is a lot of potential! We strive to be the top in the industry. What kind of VC financing will we do in the future? And... the dividends from the listing... are just around the corner!"

In order to increase the persuasiveness of this sentence, Jiang He even made a superfluous gesture of making a fist. Her cake painting skills were obviously slightly inferior to her mother's, but this answer was obviously enough for Zhang Jiefang.

"Can it really be put on the market? That's a bit... a bit too far. I'm just thinking about getting a few more customers."

Zhang Jiefang's fingers subconsciously twisted the rag, and she was really worried. "But I have distributed flyers for several days, but it is of no use at all. No one is interested... Logically speaking, it shouldn't be."

"It really shouldn't be. In such a large community, it is impossible for Grandma Qin to be the only disabled old man. Just handing out flyers may not be suitable at this stage. It is difficult to get in touch with Target Audience. In the initial stage of an industry or brand, it is necessary The first thing to do is to accurately position and gather TA, especially the industry characteristics of elderly bathing aids. When VCs enter the market in the future and seize the market, they will be able to..."

"Um, He'er, can you say it...speak a little simpler?"

Jiang Xiaoping couldn't help but interrupted Jiang He. The few words she just said in Chinese and English sounded like heavenly scriptures, "We don't quite understand."

Jiang He was stunned for a moment before she realized what she had just said. She touched the tip of her nose uncomfortably, "Then...let's put it another way, Mom, Aunt Jiefang, do you think the average elderly person will buy our aid?" Bath service?”

"...I think it's quite annoying. When I heard that they charge 399 for one wash, I thought it was too expensive." Zhang Jiefang told the truth.

"The price is indeed not cheap, so who do you think will buy it?" Jiang He said in a down-to-earth manner.

"My wife, I have to be... the kind of wife with a high pension!" Zhang Jiefang suddenly thought of Zhang Enmin.

"Indeed." Jiang He smiled and nodded, "What else?"

"Then there are children, especially children who are quite old. Just like me, if I see this kind of thing, I might buy it for your grandma."

Jiang Xiaoping paused thoughtfully as she spoke, "But maybe... it's just us. We have no reputation and no company license. It's really a bit unreliable."

When Zhang Jiefang heard Jiang Xiaoping say this, she even frowned. This money was much harder to earn than she had thought before. It was like grapes hanging on high branches. You could see them, but you couldn't eat them at all.
