The Era of Hard Work

In mid-August, the weather was still hot, and the construction sites in the university town of Qingzhao District were in full swing. The originally deserted university campus also became popular. Some teachers and old students moved in early to prepare for the new semester.

No. 1 Road in University City was officially renamed Xuefu Road, and No. 2 Road was listed as Wenhua Road.

Lu Dong put away his bicycle and stood on the northeast side of the intersection of Xuefu Road and Wenhua Road.

After standing for nearly five minutes, except for passing cars, I didn't see many people.

Ordinary people may not realize that this will be the center of the University Town and the future Quannan High-tech District.

Not far from the intersection, there is the Provincial University in the northwest, the Normal University in the southwest, and the School of Finance in the southeast.

The three universities in Quannan that are more affordable, each occupy a corner, with concentrated resources without interfering with each other, and each has a huge expansion area.

To the northeast of where Lu Dong is located is the construction site where Lu Jianguo works. It is a residential community with a very large area, and it is also one of the supporting facilities of several nearby universities.

The location of the community is close to the intersection. The foundation of the two-story shop has just been dug, and the future can be imagined.

Further east and north, there are sports colleges and art colleges.

The planning of the university town fully embodies the characteristics of the times: concentrating superior resources to do great things and promote development!

In addition to universities, some affiliated primary and secondary schools are also under construction. Commercial housing has already appeared, which is nothing new in Quannan. Quannan has been building commercial housing communities since the early and mid-1990s and has accumulated rich experience.

What is the best way to attract the population, increase the value of the land here, and speed up the development? Quannan has figured it out.

School!

We all know that education is changing, in some ways.

In the past half a month, Lu Dong has done a lot of preparation work around the University City. After all, it was after 2010 that he really entered the University City to seek a living.

In twelve years, the world has been turned upside down.

When the flood had just receded, Lu Dong was certain that the future was in the University City, and opportunities were also in the University City.

A mediocre person like him does not have financial information and a search engine in his head, and with extremely limited resources, of course he has to choose a familiar place and a familiar industry.

Once Lu Dong came to his senses at the age of 30 and started to work hard in this new city. After going through beatings and hardships from the society, he earned a down payment for a two-bedroom apartment.

This experience is so simple that it can be summed up in three words: setting up street stalls, selling snacks, and restaurants.

But he entered the market late, even if he later opened a knockoff fried chicken restaurant in a general section of the road, most of the year's income was given to the landlord.

Entering twelve years in advance, the time is different and the environment is different. After more than half a month of preliminary investigation, Lu Dong confirmed that these three aspects still have a lot to do.

Thinking of opening a store, Lu Dong's eyes fell on the shops whose foundations had just been dug. He had heard people mention that after the first batch of shops in University City were completed and sold, their prices were not as good as those in Qingzhao County.

Lu Dong specifically asked Lu Jianguo that the average housing price in Quannan City is around 1,500, and that in Qingzhao County is sold as a set, because most of them are bungalows.

The price of shops is definitely higher than that of houses. At present, the private economy in Quannan is not active, and the comparison between commercial houses and shops is not as exaggerated as it used to be.

Having said that, even after twenty years, Taidong's private economy is still average.

As the university city is about to be fully launched, Lu Dong's plan to get rich has also entered a new stage.

There must always be a goal in the plan. If there is a clear goal, it will be more motivated.

Lu Dong didn't have too high aspirations, his goal at this stage was to buy a shop across the street and open a store.

Even so, this is still a long-term plan, because more than 150,000 funds may be required to complete these.

Lu Dong only had 3,200 yuan in his bank card.

It is enough to buy a two-square-meter house in Quannan. Compared with income, the price of commercial housing has always been high.

Earning 150,000 with 3200 is a difficult task.

There is a huge difference between actual funds and long-term goals, so realistic money-making projects are needed.

Lu Dong chose a familiar place like a university town, so he would naturally choose a familiar industry.

People have four basic consumption items, which are food, clothing, housing, and transportation. In today's society, one more item can be added, use!

That is, daily necessities.

Modern people cannot bear the lack of daily necessities.

For basic necessities, food, shelter, and transportation, Lu Dong planned to choose two things—food and use.

These two should be chosen in light of the current situation and his own actual situation.

Those that require a large investment don't need to think about it. Lu Dong doesn't have so many resources, so he chooses to set up street stalls and sell snacks.

These are also the two small businesses that brought Lu Dong's life back to the normal track after he came to his senses, and they are small businesses that will never go out of date.

The University City has just been put into use, and there are almost no commercial facilities, not a lack, and there are great business opportunities in it.

Snacks, Lu Dong has a family-passed handicraft, not to mention delicious, but it can also be used as a supplement to the university diet, especially for northerners.

The stalls mainly sell small daily necessities and accessories.

Lv Dong has been frequenting the West Market and the Ten Mile Fort Market recently, and has already done some research.

These are not lofty projects floating in the sky, but they are business that Lu Dong conducts on-the-spot investigations that are suitable for him.

Work hard, small business can also make big money.

Lu Dong took out the small notebook he carried with him from his bag, and started writing.

Written very simply, give yourself a hint.

Long-term goal of University City: open a store in the center of the new city!

Short-term items: snacks and daily necessities, make money as soon as possible.

These two small plans are not static, and they can be adjusted appropriately when encountering profitable transactions in the middle.

After writing these, Lu Dong couldn't help fantasizing, and his thoughts drifted far and high.

If you can succeed in starting a business, first lay the foundation in Qingzhao County, then consider Quannan, then the neighboring cities, the whole province, the neighboring provinces in the north...

Lu Dong shook his head, these are idealized states.

The foundation is not done well, and it is false to talk about grand goals.

Goals and plans are determined, and investigation and preparation work will continue.

Lu Dong divided the preparation work into two parts, hardware and software.

Hardware includes funds, supply, goods, containers and transportation, etc.

For example, both plans must have a means of transportation to collect goods, and the price should not be too high.

The software is mainly the social environment, such as possible competitors, the situation of stores and canteens in each school, and so on.

In particular, as a street vendor, there are already natural enemies in this era.

Lu Dong wrote everything down in his notebook, and he had to try his best to solve the problem.

A man in his thirties came from a distance on a tricycle, as if he was taking a leisurely walk.

"This big brother!" Lu Dong glanced at him, thinking that he might be an aborigine before the construction of the University City, and shouted: "It's a hot day, what are you doing?"

Hearing the local accent, the eldest brother stopped the car and walked over: "It's nothing, the village demolition is gone, the building has been built, come back and have a look."

Lu Dong took out the big chicken cigarettes he was preparing from his bag, handed one to the eldest brother, and asked, "Where does the elder brother's house belong?"

To build a university town, demolition is inevitable, and there are farmland and so on. The government is very generous, not only to arrange new housing, but also to pay a lot of money for each family.

This is also Lu Dong's most likely competitor.

Most of the villages in the distance have their own livelihoods. The older generation is still saying that doing business is speculative, and there are not many people who really shame themselves into small businesses.

To put it bluntly, in this conservative place, many people would rather be idle with no money than gossip for a living.

In contrast, those who relocated really had money and leisure.

Big Brother lit a cigarette: "Yes."

"It's very leisurely." Lu Dong said casually.

Big Brother laughed: "The national policy is good."

Lu Dong turned the topic to something he wanted to know: "Here, we have no land and money, what are we going to do?"

The big brother exhaled smoke: "Most of them are like me, depositing in the bank, earning interest, and dawdling. There are also some, thinking that they are rich, and doing nonsense."

Lu Dong tentatively asked, "Aren't you going to do anything else?"

"Brother, are you stupid?" The twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old man seemed to have retired early: "It's a comfortable life on interest, why do you put in more effort?"

Maybe the words were not speculative, he put out the cigarette butt, got on the tricycle and left.

Lu Dong watched him go away, thoughtful.

The aborigines before the university town were willing to come out to endure hardships, probably not many.

After looking around the shops that were laying foundations, Lu Dong pushed his bicycle eastward and came to the opposite door of the School of Finance.

This place is good, the paved sidewalk is very spacious, like a small square, opposite to the gate of the School of Finance, and behind it is the fence of the construction site.

The construction site is very large, and there are nearly a hundred strong laborers working here in Lujia Village alone.

Including his uncle and seventh uncle.

Lu Dong had already inquired before that the School of Finance was the first to start, and it was the School of Finance that made the biggest moves.

This university, which is not within the scope of 211, but has a good reputation in the province, abandoned the cramped old campus in the urban area and moved to the University City as a whole.

He came to the gate of the School of Finance, waited for a middle-aged man on the doorman to come out, and moved over.

Smiling all over his face, with a simple and honest vigor, he even offered to pass cigarettes. The middle-aged security guard quickly chatted with Lu Dong.

They are all young, and they get acquainted quickly.

"My home is in Qingzhao. If you are applying for the exam, what do you need to bring to live in the school?" Lu Dong specifically asked, "I heard that the school will distribute things?"

The middle-aged uncle spit out a smoke ring: "It's not hair, it's the same as money. The school will provide you with a fee for large daily necessities such as bedding, bed sheets, thermos bottles, and kettles."

Lu Dong nodded: "Small things? Does our school sell them?"

"There are two shops now." The middle-aged uncle seemed very angry: "Relationship households, selling things is called black! How dare you sell cigarettes for two yuan outside for five yuan! Things are twice as expensive as outside!"

Lu Dong understood that the rent must be very expensive, and the most important thing is that he needs to feed a lot of mouths.

"Is there an air conditioner or fan in the dormitory?" He asked again.

"What are you thinking? Returning the air conditioner?" The middle-aged uncle shook his head: "There is no fan! I'm not afraid to tell you that the new building has returned to damp, and there are too many mosquitoes! Then suffer!"

He stretched out his arm and let Lu Dong see the red bumps, "Look, these are all mosquito bites."

Keeping that in mind, Lu Dong got close to the middle-aged uncle again, took out a pack of cigarettes and stuffed it into his hand: "Can you let me go to the school? Get familiar with the environment in advance."

It's not that no one goes in the school, there are a very small number of students who will come to see the school in advance, and Lu Dong pressed the bicycle in the guard's room again, and went in smoothly.

He mainly looked at the school's dormitories, canteens and shops.

These three, the newly built schools in the university city are not much different, and the conditions of ordinary students are similar, and the conditions of the foreign student building are so good that they can fly.

University, it's hard to say a word about it.

Lu Dong and his shop took a look, but they didn't open, they were selling goods, and the things they sold were very expensive.

Among them, the store near the cafeteria is larger, and there is a couple in their thirties, the man is of medium height, and the woman has thin lips.

Lu Dong glanced in through the glass window, the woman saw him, and rolled her thin lips: "What are you looking at?"

The man looked over, Lu Dong didn't want to cause trouble, so he left here quickly.

Thin lips thought that Lu Dong was a student who came to the school early to explore the way, and said, "Sui Bo, hurry up and put the price tag on the goods!"

Sui Bo couldn't stop his hands and mouth: "Wang Qian, we've lost all of our wealth..."

Wang Qi's thin lips moved: "School starts!"

Ask for a recommendation ticket! Ask for collection! Ask for support!

(Quannan housing prices, my father is engaged in construction, the original collective enterprise town construction company, Jinan Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine, Baliwa, Huanshan Road, built many buildings in the 1990s, and the housing prices in general areas in 1998 were around 1500, which has stabilized for several times Years. Push forward a few years, there will be 50,000 villas with courtyards on the north side of the park.)

(A few more words, until now, this book is much better than I expected, thank you very much for your support. This is not a book about making money, the protagonist accumulates step by step, doing common and common businesses, I won’t touch finance, e-commerce, stocks, etc. There are too many books on rebirth Baojin thigh and stock market e-commerce Internet, bang bang to make money, I ask myself if I can’t write better than them, so I won’t join in the fun.)

(Before I started writing, I was ready to rush to the street, bit the bullet and changed my writing habits. I wrote up to two chapters a day, and I was often busy from 6:30 in the morning to 8:00 in the evening. Reworked from scratch. I wanted to break away from the previous style and do more character creation and everyday life.)

(To put it bluntly, it is also for future considerations. There is no sense of security in this industry, and everyone has seen some things.)

(In the past two years, I have also considered changing careers. I have had several screenwriting job invitations. Because there are seniors and juniors, I dare not run around. After thinking about it, I turned them down. Of course, I may really change careers at some point, after all I'm getting old, my liver can't move anymore, when Jiang Zuo Qingfeng came to play with me, I was taken aback, a gray-haired old man, haha...)
