Chapter 120 The big joke of slipping the world
No matter how great your skills are, if you don’t have a certificate, it won’t be officially recognized, and you will die in the wild.
Although there are fewer cars now and fewer people know how to drive, driving without a license is not as strict as in later generations, but it is still a big trouble if you are caught.
Coming from a station, Gao Jianguo has been dealing with drivers all year round. The station also has a special internal driving school. It is not difficult to find some connections to quickly get Gao Mu a driver's license.
Because there is no professional driving school in the county that caters to society, and the exams for several subjects require traveling to the neighboring county, which is a bit troublesome in terms of time.
Gao Mu's original plan was to make do with this period of time and take the exam after the college entrance examination.
Now that Gao Jianguo has taken the initiative to speak, he will not object if there is such a shortcut.
Anyway, based on his experience as a driver, not only is his driving skills better than most people, but after being baptized by several major safety actions of the traffic police department, Gao Mu's safety awareness should be beyond that of most drivers.
It doesn’t matter whether you take the green channel or get a driver’s license quickly.
"Okay, if you need any information, I'll prepare it for you."
"Do you have a recent ID photo? You don't need anything else, I have it all."
It was clear how many moles his own son had on his buttocks, and other information came to him at the drop of a hat.
"Ah, there doesn't seem to be any recently. I'll go take pictures tomorrow."
Gao Mu said helplessly that the school had just organized a photo shoot, but it was a pity that they didn’t know when the photos would be given.
"Well, before you get your driver's license, you'd better drive as little as possible. If you get caught by the traffic police, you'll be in trouble."
"I know, I just drive it when I'm transporting things. I usually stop and eat dust."
Although the management is not strict, it is indeed troublesome if you get lucky.
It doesn't matter if you pay some money, but it doesn't matter if you treat guests to dinner and give them a smile.
"Well, if I need to drive the car when I'm at home from now on, just ask me and I'll drive it."
"Okay, you have the final say." Gao Mu opened the last bottle of beer and filled the cups for Gao Jianguo and himself: "Mom, how are you doing at the tea factory?"
"What can we do? Just do it like that!" Zeng Shufang looked at Gao Mu suspiciously: "What exactly do you want to ask?"
"How much salary do they pay you per month now?"
Gao Mu peeled a pearl potato and continued to ask.
"It depends on the situation. The basic salary is five hundred, and the rest depends on overtime work. Sometimes it can be as much as one thousand."
Zeng Shufang tried her best to choose the best ones and said that there was one so-called "sometimes" where she worked overtime for thirty days in a row and everyone was exhausted.
"Mom is too tired from her current job. Once I saw her cooking in the kitchen and fell asleep while frying. If I hadn't called her, everyone would have eaten charred eggplant that day." Gao Lu felt very distressed.
Said: "Why don't you change your job? Even if you go to my brother's place to get something to sell, it's better than this!"
She also sold in the class for a while and knew that it was relatively easy to make money.
But it was later strictly stopped by Gao Mu, and just like Ma Yiming, he no longer had the extra money to earn.
"Are you kidding? I'm not a student. What would it be like to sell things in school? I'm afraid the teacher will kick me out before I sell the things."
Zeng Shufang shook her head and smiled.
"No, what Xiaolu said is not a joke. I also think you can change your job and sell stationery. It would be good to start a student business."
Gao Mu glanced at Zeng Shufang and stuffed the whole peeled potato into his mouth.
"You two brothers and sisters are making fun of me. Do you think my salary is too low?"
Zeng Shufang took the chopsticks and gave Gao Lu and Gao Mu a chopstick each.
"The job in the tea factory is really hard and the wages are low."
It's not a technical job, it's all done by women like Zeng Shufang who are unemployed at home, because the group base is large and the competition is fierce.
I sit there for several hours every day, more than ten hours, under dim light, rummaging for impurities in the tea leaves.
It is not only a waste of money, but also a burden on the eyes. It is really not a good job. Gao Jianguo will not let Zeng Shufang continue to do this job if there are other ways.
Gao Mu and Gao Lu's words pointed out a new idea to him.
Others can make money in partnership with their sons, why can’t my mother?
If it weren't for the variables in freight logistics and the fact that we were in Yiwu, he would have wanted to take Zeng Shufang with him.
"Why, you also want me to sell stationery to my son?"
"If you can make more money and be more relaxed, why not?"
"Are you kidding me? My son's things are sold in school. Are you going to let me set up a street stall in school?"
There are often stalls on the street, but it would be strange if they were not hunted down by teachers if they set up stalls in school.
"Mom, you don't need to go to school to set up a street stall."
Gao Mu kept shaking his head. How could he let Zeng Shufang do such a pyrotechnic thing?
"That's..."
"Didn't you say before that they make money by opening a store? Since they make money, let's open it too. Anyway, I have the supply of goods, so I just need to find a better store."
"Opening a store is not as simple as you think. In addition to the high cost of selling the goods in the store, renting a store is also a major expense, as well as water and electricity taxes and fees, which are quite a lot."
"How much more can we have? It's not like we don't have this capital, so can't we earn back this expenditure? Don't worry, Mom, I promise to make back the capital in one year and make a profit in three years."
It's just a small shop. Others can make money, but he can't?
No matter how fancy you are, you can overshadow most small shops and make more money than them.
"This..." Yes, their home is no longer the same home as before. With Gao Mu supporting him, it is no problem to open a small store: "You mainly sell stationery, and the stationery store should be opened in the school.
The side is better, are there any places you like?"
After I figured it out, my thoughts followed.
"It's OK to open it next to the school, but we don't open a stationery store."
Gao Mu shook his head. In fact, as for the place to open a store, compared to the place next to the school, he prefers places with a large flow of people, such as squares, cross streets, etc.
The schools in the county are not universities. After all, the spending power of elementary school students, junior high school students, and high school students is limited.
The most I can do is buy some school supplies, some headgear for the girls, and very few other things.
These businesses have long been controlled by Gao Mu's sales group, and many stationery stores that opened next to the school were almost starved of food.
Zeng Shufang's bar shop is located next to the school. It is unrealistic to make money by selling stationery. It will not be much better than a relative of a middle-aged woman in the bank.
Although Gao Mu is here, he can't be allowed to take out the team's business and give it to the stationery store, right?
In that case, it would be tantamount to him breaking the originally unbreakable alliance and letting the food in the same pot go out at will.
Yes, something may go wrong.
"If you don't open a stationery store, what do you mean to open it?"
Gao Jianguo didn't understand what kind of store he could open if he didn't open a stationery store.
"supermarket!"
"supermarket?"
"Yes, but we open a small supermarket, not a large supermarket that has everything."
Gao Mu actually wants to take advantage of the current time gap to open a large supermarket in his hometown and monopolize the market during the blue ocean period.
It's a pity that he doesn't pay attention to support with the money in his hand, and at the same time, he doesn't have this ambition.
It's okay to help my mother open a small supermarket to earn some living expenses, but there's no need to expand it.
“Small supermarket!”
"Yes, a small supermarket, more than 100 to 200 square meters is enough. Not only does it sell stationery, but also daily necessities are the main sales items. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the essentials!"
Small supermarkets are also the mainstay of community life in the future. A store must function as a commercial street and basically support the daily business of one or several surrounding communities.
It looks inconspicuous, selling oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, toilet paper, rice and the like, but in fact they are small commodities with big profits.
"I seem to understand what you are talking about, but I can't handle such a store by myself."
Since it's called a supermarket, it's different from a mom-and-pop store. Not only does it have a lot of stuff, but the shelves are open for the items sold, and the items you buy are all chosen by the customers themselves.
Accordingly, she can't rely on her alone in this store. Taking into account the duties of looking after the store, collecting money for selling things, and purchasing goods, etc., it would be impossible for three to four people to fit into the one to two hundred square meter shop.
"It's okay. I'm not asking you to open a store to do everything by yourself. The only responsibility you have to bear is the responsibility of the boss. Just take care of the money and manage the incoming and outgoing goods. As for me, just recruit a few clerks at that time. That's all.
Don’t go to too much trouble, there will be a lot of high school graduates looking for jobs right away, you just have to pick a few that you like.”
In Gao Mu's eyes, these things are nothing. Can things that can be done well with money count?
His purpose in setting up this small supermarket was first to get Zeng Shufang to leave the tea factory and not continue this physically damaging job.
Then there was the matter of finding her a lucrative career. Gao Jianguo had a logistics business, so he couldn't favor one over the other. He also wanted to start up Zeng Shufang's supermarket business.
With his ability, he can definitely let them enjoy the happiness at home and just give them money for their expenses every month.
But after all, his parents are still young and want to support the elderly at this time. They don't say it, but they may not be happy in their hearts.
Secondly, Gao Jianguo was asked to engage in logistics to lay the foundation for a big project in the future. The only people he can use now and direct are his own family members.
Similarly, when Zeng Shufang was asked to open a supermarket, he was also trying to deal with a problem he was currently facing and plug a loophole that might cause him big trouble.
The words of the middle-aged woman at the bank reminded him that it was not more than ten years later, and the current business market was not that free.
He sells things in school, and if no one cares about him, he can still do it for a while. If someone reports him, then his current business is selling without a license.
There will be a lawsuit.
As long as the supermarket gets started and the business license is approved, the school's business can be moved under the supermarket.
There are formal purchase channels, and it’s not illegal to organize students to work-study and sell things, right?
