Chapter 010: Why is the difference in rebirth so significant
After speaking, he pushed the plan book in front of his father
At that moment, the study door opened, and grandmother walked in
Meimei finished her meal, and under the curious gazes of her family, Lu Xiancheng helped his mother and aunt wash the pots and clean the dishes
Lu Xingguo is self-aware; although he claims to be a son, he knows that in the elder's heart, he cannot be compared to his own son, not to mention the issue of generational affection.
Dad, it's me
Carrying a dozen pages of the plan, Lu Xiancheng stepped out of his door
Mom, you are my biological mother" Lu Xingguo was at a loss for words, but after a moment's thought, he added: "The child is currently focused on studying, and this is the perfect time to concentrate on university studies. There will always be opportunities to start a company later.
What do you know
Lu Xiancheng finds himself in a dilemma here
Lu Xiancheng thought: You have no money, yet you have been questioning me for over an hour? Moreover, I already know everything. Who are you trying to fool? Even if there are no additional three hundred thousand at home, there must be at least two hundred thousand.
There is truly no money at home
At this moment, Old Lu thought to himself: Everyone has been reborn, so why is the gap so vast? Others, even as young as a few years old, can command their own fathers as if they were grandsons, yet here I am, already eighteen years old, and it is still such a struggle to ask for some money
Carrying his belongings, Lu Xiangcheng walked towards the door of his father's study.
Grandmother inquired, and Lu Xiancheng took five minutes to explain in detail to her
Lu Xingguo has a keen eye; trends that are popular abroad may become fashionable in the domestic market five years later. However, bringing them to the present may not necessarily appeal to the market. The phenomenon of bad money driving out good is not an isolated incident.
In his work, Lu Xiancheng admits that he has not inherited much of his father's seriousness and focus, and that in his previous life he was somewhat carefree; it is likely that he will remain the same in this life, with the only difference being the degree of it.
"What are you doing here if you are not going to watch the electricity?" Lu Xingguo closed the book and asked his son.
No money
In the old beliefs of the elderly, whether having a grandson can elevate to the level of being worthy of the ancestors of the Lu family. Who can compare to her grandson in the heart of the elderly!
It seems that it will not be possible to accomplish it tonight. Lu Xiancheng exchanged a few words with his grandmother and father, then went to the living room to accompany his grandmother in watching television
Upon hearing this, Lu Xingguo thought to himself: Ah, what should I say to my mother
Seeing his son nod, Lu Xingguo put on his glasses and began to read. At first, he had a smile on his face, but as he continued reading, his brows began to furrow.
Lu Xiancheng was not intimidated at all. In his previous life, although the company did not perform well, he had accompanied others in bidding for several projects. He had answered the questions posed by the Secretary of the Shishi City Committee several times. How could his own father, the factory director, suppress him? Moreover, sitting in front of him was his own father. What was there for Lu Xiancheng to be afraid of? Even if his father wanted to harm someone, he would not target his own son. After all, he was the only heir of the Lu family!
Lu Xingguo, very interested, picked it up and weighed it in his hand: "Is this what you have come up with these past few days?"
Lu Xiancheng's evening activity is to write a proposal
The customer's requirements are indeed of utmost importance, and it is natural to treat clients with different tastes differently. Another point is the craftsmanship... Lu Xiancheng had done this in his previous life, and he can still mention some techniques that have not yet been adopted. He speaks of them to impress his father, but whether they would be practical today, and even if they could be used, whether the price is appropriate, Lu Xiancheng does not consider at all
Lu Xingguo saw his mother enter and immediately stood up from his chair. He looked at his son, Lu Xiangcheng, who gave up his seat, and waited for his mother to sit down before he said: "Your grandson made something and asked me for money!"
Who is it
Of course, Lu Xiancheng is not foolish enough to bring up any stallions or the like; it is sufficient for him to know this himself. If he were to speak of it, not to mention two hundred thousand, he would probably not be able to extract even a dime from his family. The brothers Lu Xingguo and Lu Xinghua are not particularly fond of gambling, especially Lu Xinghua, who, having worked in public security, has seen more than one or two families ruined by gambling.
Do you prefer the present or the past
The person I met has returned from abroad and has also worked in design overseas. Their exposure is significantly higher than that of others. To be honest, not only in the present but even twenty years from now, Chinese design will still be influenced by Western fashion. Take the European style as an example; nowadays, some people claim their homes are European style, but in reality, it is just a hodgepodge. They see a Roman column and declare it pure European style... Lu Xiancheng spoke to his father for about five or six minutes like this. Taking the European style as an example; nowadays, some people claim their homes are European style, but in reality, it is just a hodgepodge. They see a Roman column and declare it pure European style... Lu Xiancheng spoke to his father for about five or six minutes like this.
For a full twenty minutes, Lu Xingguo did not speak, and Lu Xiancheng also remained silent. The father and son sat across from each other at the desk, one intently reading the paper in his hand, while the other observed the expression on his father's face.
This statement left Lu Xingguo both amused and bewildered: "So you think it's reasonable to demand money for writing a little something here? Have you even asked how much your grandson is asking for?"
Everyone knows that Italian lighting is excellent. Not to mention now, how many families in Shicheng will be able to afford it thirty years from now
In the next two days, Lu Xiancheng performed exceptionally well. The previously indifferent child, who would not even help when the oil bottle fell at home, underwent a complete transformation. Not only did he assist his family with chores, but he also surprisingly began to write in the evening. Although everyone was not particularly interested in what he was writing, the child, who could never sit still before, has now become much more composed and no longer behaves so carelessly. Naturally, the entire family was overjoyed.
Upon hearing his father, Lu Xiancheng realized that he was preparing to default on his debts, completely denying that he had any money in his possession
The father and son engaged in a back-and-forth dialogue, resembling a bidding conference, and continued this way for an hour and a half before finally stopping
A single utterance can yield two hundred thousand
By the 3rd, the pesky little girl had gone to class, and there was finally nothing much happening here at Lu Xiancheng's place. Sitting in the room, he wrote continuously for an entire day, revising and rewriting. It was only after 8 PM that he finally completed the plan.
Grandma!'' I saw Grandma peeling the boiled fava beans in the living room. Lu Xiancheng asked, ``Where is my dad?''
Merely relying on a legitimate reason for money is far from sufficient; one must also demonstrate some genuine effort to impress one's own father
Upon hearing this, Grandma Lu also found it reasonable, as reading good books is always a good path. She immediately turned to Lu Xiancheng and said, "Why don't we start by studying first"
Dad, can we make it a little less, 150,000!
Isn't my brother grown up! Grandma Lu doesn't think too much about it; no matter what, he is still her grandson, so how could there be a mistake? He has just grown up a little, so what's so strange about that
"Then that will do," Grandma Lu said with a smile.
It must be said that Old Lu writes with great attention to detail. To be honest, if this document were presented to him by someone else, Old Lu would undoubtedly be tempted. Lu Xiancheng himself feels that he is almost in awe of his own plan.
Lu Xiancheng said: "I something happened. Let him take a look, and by the way, ask for some money!"
Before Lu Xiancheng could speak, the first question arose: "How can you ensure that people prefer your solution over those of other companies?"
Come in
After another five or six minutes, Lu Xingguo put down the plan and said, "There is a bit of insight in what has been written!"
However, it cannot be said that way; the elderly person still has principles, but her principles are primarily centered around her grandson
Thinking this way naturally leads to support: "The child speaks quite well, should pursue a career, and strive for progress! I used to often say my grandson was not ambitious, and now that he is finally showing some ambition, you are not supporting him..."
"Your father is in the study," Grandma Lu said, pointing with her hand. "What do you need him for?"
Upon hearing the sum of 200,000 yuan, Grandma Lu immediately shivered, holding Lu Xiangcheng's hand with a tone of affection mixed with coaxing: "Good grandson, what do you need so much money for?"
While washing, he also told the two people a joke he had heard from later generations, about a thief who stole several pounds of fruit and was sentenced to two years, and the presiding judge explained that a monkey that stole a peach was imprisoned for five hundred years, causing laughter to echo throughout the kitchen
Lu Xiancheng placed the paper in his hand on the desk and said: "Dad, I want you to take a look at this!"
Lu Xiancheng spoke frankly: "The money you saved for me to buy a house, Dad, I will use it for a while. Once this matter is settled, I will return it to you!"
Do not think that just because you are his biological son, this money is solely for you. Indeed, it is saved for oneself, but parents have their own purposes for the money. The couple has saved half a lifetime's worth of money to buy a house and marry off their children, and it is also to ensure a more comfortable life after graduation. This money is not merely for purchasing a house; it represents the deep affection and care of the elderly couple. It cannot be reduced to a simple reason.
No money
An analysis on how to open a decoration company in Shicheng will first focus on the market entry point, discussing the advantages from one's own perspective as well as some technical aspects.
Father, could you perhaps change your way of speaking? It's always about not having money
Although my father has retired, he still cannot let go of a lifetime of habits. From time to time, he has to go through things, claiming that he cannot sleep well if he doesn't.
How much can one demand! Grandma Lu has almost no principles in her protection this time
Upon hearing this, Grandma Lu felt that her grandson's words were somewhat normal; from what she heard, Grandma Lu was certain that this grandson was definitely not disguised by an outsider
No money
In this way, Lu Xiancheng felt that his plan to make money had to start from his original profession, and the justification for making money should be developed by breaking through from the point of starting a decoration company
"Then you may go!" said Grandma Lu
Lu Muzhi quickly said: "Of course it's this one, this brother cares for me, unlike before when he always annoyed me"
"How about giving a little?" Grandma Lu looked at her son and said: "My grandson has been tired for several days!"
"Haven't you saved any money for me? I already know about this." Lu Xiancheng immediately replied
Lu Muzhi squatted under the eaves with Grandma Lu, listening to the laughter coming from the kitchen, and said: "Grandma, do you think my brother was abducted by aliens, and they sent back a fake to make up the numbers? I feel like I hardly recognize my brother after not seeing him for a month"
Moreover, my parents are not foolish! They have lived for several decades, one is a factory director and the other works in a government office. How could I possibly outsmart them? If I were not their biological child, I would probably be sold off by m.hetushu.com, and still be counting the money myself!
Lu Xingguo listened with great interest and then asked, "Competitiveness, what you are saying sounds reasonable, but the market does not operate solely based on good intentions. The preferences and culture of customers are also quite important. Would simply copying everything lead to issues of incompatibility?"
In the evening, Lu Xiancheng was not engaged in anything else, but rather contemplating how to persuade his father to take out the money saved at home for his use
Lu Xingguo finally added, "The plan sounds good, and I can see you have put in effort. However, unfortunately, I currently have no money; all the money at home is reserved for your tuition fees."
Knock knock knock
14th Five-Year Plan
Lu Xingguo laughed and said, "Are you trying to fool me because I'm a foreigner? How many parents in China give money to their sons that doesn't end up being like a meat bun thrown to a dog?"
What are you two talking about? You haven't gone out all day," Grandma Lu said as she entered the door and saw the two of them sitting upright and facing each other, one with a flushed face from anxiety and the other laughing heartily.
This business is truly viable, Dad, trust me just this once. Lu Xiancheng raised a finger towards his father: Just this once, if it weren't for the company rushing things a bit, I wouldn't bother you with this. I could have gradually built my own success and saved money on my own.
Gently twisting the door lock, the door opened. Lu Xiangcheng immediately saw his father sitting behind the desk, one hand holding a pair of glasses. On the table in front of him lay a thick book, which had some mechanical diagrams on it, likely another professional book on textile technology or something similar.
There is no money at home
Grandma Lu naturally could not understand very well, but the old lady looked at her grandson and spoke without stuttering, delivering a lengthy discourse that seemed quite impressive, instantly making it feel very credible. Of course, in the old lady's heart, her grandson had always been the most reliable person in the world
Grandma Lu took the notebook from her son's hands and flipped through it, saying: "Oh! Look, this is written on more than ten pages. The child has put in so much effort, you should give him a little credit. Look at how tired my grandson is; for several days, I noticed the light in the room was still on at ten o'clock."
