Chapter 109 Entrepreneurship
In sharp contrast, there are crowds of people in front of the surrounding shops that have already been put into operation. After a day's work, the workers come here to find the little happiness in life.
However, Xu Xiufang's eyes penetrated the prosperity before her. She understood that her ambitions went far beyond that. What she was eyeing was a broader market.
Across the street, buildings are under intensive construction and the roar of huge excavators foreshadows the earth-shaking changes that are about to take place on this land.
In the future, when those high-rise buildings rise from the ground and become the new landmarks of the city, the residents who follow will surely bring huge profits to her lighting business.
At that moment, Xu Xiufang seemed to have seen the grand scene of her shop brightly lit and crowded with customers, and a burning fighting spirit ignited in her heart.
"Thank you so much. When this busy storm subsides a little, I will definitely treat you to a delicious meal."
Xu Xiufang's eyes revealed sincere gratitude, and her voice was warm and slightly firm, as if she was making an unquestionable promise.
In Xu Xiufang's world, Chen Anping is not just a boss with decision-making power, but also a precious gem, a partner who can build a solid bridge for her career.
His experience and resources, like sweet springs in the desert, are particularly precious to her and worthy of her careful care and unremitting efforts to nurture and maintain.
Hearing this, Chen Anping stepped on the car's accelerator lightly, and the car started slowly. At the same time, a faint smile inadvertently climbed up the corner of his lips.
"Let me be the host. You are just starting out in your career and every expense needs to be carefully calculated. When you are successful in your career and have abundant wealth, it will not be too late to treat me back."
This thoughtful care made Xu Xiufang feel warm in her heart.
She had never expected that Chen Anping could so keenly capture the subtle fluctuations in her heart and her future plans. This feeling of being understood was extremely precious.
"Okay, then if I encounter difficulties in the ocean of funds in the future and need someone to lend a hand, will you be the one who can help me?"
Xu Xiufang speaks frankly. She knows very well that in the turbulent waves of business, asking for help at the right time is not weakness, but wisdom.
Chen Anping answered straightforwardly, "Of course, no matter when or where you are, as long as you have any difficulties, just come to me."
Such cheerfulness and generosity surprised Xu Xiufang a little. In this competitive society, selfless help is like a rare treasure. She couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, but she immediately rejected it.
After all, he was carrying the weight of the entire family on his shoulders, and Chen Anping might have already known this fact.
"Perhaps you are curious, why do I take such good care of you?"
Chen Anping's voice suddenly became low and deep, containing an indescribable depth of emotion.
In an instant, Xu Xiufang's thoughts flashed through her mind like lightning. Was it because of some kind of similarity in appearance that she inadvertently touched upon a certain memory in his heart?
Although gossip about exes or people you can't forget is fascinating, it can only be kept in your heart in such occasions, because any inappropriate inquiries may anger the "financial sponsor" and the consequences will be at your own risk.
"In fact, my brother and I are twins, and we have twin brothers and sisters. Every time I see your three children, I can't help but think of our carefree childhood."
Chen Anping's tone was calm and long, and it seemed that as his words flowed, that warm memory was slowly unfolding before his eyes.
Xu Xiufang suddenly realized that in Chen Anping's eyes, she played the role of a gentle yet strong older sister.
I secretly thanked my lucky stars that I didn't impulsively ask that abrupt question, thus avoiding unnecessary embarrassment.
"Then your mother is really amazing, to be able to raise such an outstanding child like you."
Xu Xiufang missed no opportunity to give praise, and although it was just polite words, they came from the heart.
In the game of business, appropriate flattery is also a kind of wisdom.
However, Chen Anping suddenly changed the subject, "My mother passed away when we were very young. Due to historical reasons, she suffered from hunger and hardship in prison, and ultimately was not able to grow up with us."
Xu Xiufang felt a strong sense of embarrassment and apology, "I'm so sorry, I didn't realize that I accidentally touched your sore spot."
Chen Anping responded with a nonchalant smile, "Don't worry about it, it's all in the past. The fact that I can say this calmly shows that I have completely let it go."
Then, he continued in an almost gentle tone: "I just think that you have to raise three children alone, and support your life and career independently. The hardship and difficulty involved are probably beyond the imagination of ordinary people."
Xu Xiufang seemed moved by Chen Anping's emotion on the surface, but deep down in her heart she felt another world.
She did not find this road particularly difficult. Instead, she found her own rhythm in every challenge. Especially when it came to making money, it always seemed to go more smoothly than expected.
Even though her heart was filled with emotions, she just nodded gently and said nothing more.
After getting off the car, Xu Xiufang, who suffers from decision-making difficulties, couldn't help but hesitate when faced with three stores standing side by side in front of her. Each store had its own unique features that attracted her.
Chen Anping saw through her dilemma and said, "If it's hard to decide, why not rent it together? After all, with the factory as a backing, the rent should be negotiable to a reasonable level."
Renting nearly 400 square meters of space at one time does seem a bit extravagant for a store specializing in selling lamps, but if the business scope is expanded to the field of small household appliances, such a space arrangement is just right.
The TV area and refrigerator display area are each located in one corner, like a miniature electrical appliance kingdom. Every corner is full of the convenience and comfort of modern life, showing unlimited business potential.
Although the market potential is like the rising sun, emitting attractive light, and the business ideas are clear and concise, like a detailed business blueprint, but before all these beautiful ideas lies an obstacle that cannot be ignored - start-up capital.
Without those few thousand dollars as the foundation for purchasing goods, even the best ideas will only remain in the empty talk stage, not to mention the cost of decorating the store, which would be an expense that would make the situation worse.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiufang's smile, which always exuded optimism, was inevitably tinged with a hint of sadness.
That smile is like a flower in the morning mist. Although it is still trying to bloom, it cannot hide the invasion of the coldness around it.
"It's better to be practical and rent a store with decent basic conditions first. The decoration and the purchase of the first batch of goods each step requires real money, and my current financial situation is really stretched."
