TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS
Chapter 258: Blueprint of Shao Dong's Career
The last time Shao Xi published a book, as it became so popular, it was listed as a bestseller. Foreign publishers have also asked about it and are interested in translating and publishing it in their own countries. Shao Xi was afraid that the translation was not good enough and had to check it out for himself. He also learned a foreign language for this purpose.
Shao Xi was a student, so she still had to go to school. Because of all this, Shao Xi was extremely busy.
He had quite a lot of thoughts about his busy schedule. He even wrote an article, saying that his time had been stolen by the old grandmother who was sunbathing at the village entrance all day.
The old grandmother was old and lived a chaotic life. Every day, all he did was sunbathe and eat, always wondering why the day had not passed.
The old grandmother's day passed slowly, in long intervals, and the sky never seemed to darken. On the other hand, Shao Xi's time was never enough. Because of this, she suspects that her time is different from that of the old grandmother or that it has been stolen by the old grandmother.
When Shao Xi handed the first draft to Mu Jingzhe, she even discussed it seriously with him. “If it is not stolen, then my time is accelerated. The old grandmother had 48 hours a day, while my day was only 12 hours.”
"I think my days have accelerated as well." Mu Jingzhe deeply shared the same sentiment.
“So there must be a Time Thief, right?” Shao Xi pondered it. "I want to find a way to deal with Time Thieves."
“What kind of path?” Mu Jingzhe asked.
"Let me think about it. I'll tell you after I think about it.” Shao Xi left with her notebook, seemingly thinking hard.
Shao Qihai had been listening outside for a while. Seeing them discussing it so seriously, even though he had seen it so often, he still felt a little dazed.
Shao Qihai sometimes felt that he understood his son, Shao Xi very well. Sometimes, this kid knows a lot and is very sharp. Sometimes, he felt very naive. From time to time, thoughts that she would never have thought of would appear in Shao Xi's head.
She was often stunned and felt unable to follow her son's thoughts, so she was always looking for Mu Jingzhe.
“Do you think Shao Xi is right?” Shao Qihai was unwilling to ask Mu Jingzhe.
“Although it goes against our understanding, I think it makes sense. I also think that my time has been sped up or stolen. Otherwise, why do I feel like the days are passing too quickly? ”
Shao Qihai: “..”
Good.
The last method that Shao Xi had found to deal with the Time Thief, like growing ten arms, was not very practical in reality but was very possible in his literary world.
In the end, the article was published. The main theme of the article is that everyone should value their time and organize their time in such a way that it increases their efficiency.
When Shao Dong and the others read Shao Xi's essays, they could empathize with him. After reading it, they even expressed their views, but this time, they asked Shao Xi to express herself in oral form and not in written form.
Shao Dong: “I have been observing my time closely. It was not stolen.”
Little Bei sighed. “If only I could steal time. That way, I can go to school and shoot at the same time.”
Shao Nan said, “I too. If I could also steal time, I would use all the time stolen to read. This way, I could have more time to experiment and play.”
Shao Nan still loved to read and study. Now that there were two more professors, Mu Jingzhe increasingly felt that he was unable to understand the books they had sent. Mathematics, physics, and chemistry felt very foreign to him.
In order to facilitate Shao Nan's learning and experimentation process, he even specially created a small experimental laboratory for her. Normally, Shao Nan would lock the door, saying that she was afraid that someone would enter and be in danger.
The two professors seemed to be competing with each other. The more books were sent, and the professors were also getting more attention. From time to time, professors from the University of Law will also join and submit several books.
Shao Dong was even more aggressive. After going to the capital and then to Ocean City, he suddenly said that he wanted to acquire a factory that produced refrigerators. The plant was only established a short time ago and has advanced technology and equipment imported from abroad. The owner wanted to do something big with him, but due to financial problems, he was unable to continue.
Shao Dong had a very sharp business acumen. Looking at the current situation, he was very optimistic about the industry, so he said he wanted to acknowledge it.
“If I add the money I made from the beverage factory and the scavenger business, I have enough money for the acquisition.”
Originally, Shao Dong wanted to buy a car for Mu Jingzhe with his younger siblings. However, after gaining some knowledge about the cars, he felt that they were not good enough. Moreover, Mu Jingzhe had yet to obtain his SIM, so he felt like he could use the money for this investment first.
When he earns more money in the future, he will then buy a car for Mom. When the time comes, he will buy a better one for her.
Shao Dong was ambitious. Not only did he want to produce refrigerators in the future, but he also wanted to produce television sets and washing machines. Even though he had only taken the first step, he could already see the third step.
“Bu, what do you think of my plan? If you think it's worth it, you can invest in it too. That way, I can take even bigger steps. My uncle said he believed me. At first, he planned to buy a house in the city, but he did not buy it for now. He invested in me.”
Mu Jingzhe immediately nodded. “I will also come. Your uncle made the right choice.”
As for the house, it is very difficult to buy it now, for commodity housing[1] has not become something. Many houses in the city are ancestral heritage or the designation of their work units [2]. In other words, they belong to the state.
Mu Han also had no partner, so he was in no hurry to buy a house. He or she may also wait a little longer to invest in a good commodity house.
When the time came, Mu Jingzhe would also invest. As someone who was reborn or moved into a novel, if he did not buy property, he would be struck by lightning. If he did not buy a house, he would be too embarrassed to say that he was a transmigrant. However, there was no hurry now.
If he stayed by Shao Dong's side, he could earn money with him and support him at the same time. Of course he has to do it with her.
"okay." Shao Dong looked at Mu Jingzhe's expression and straightened his chest. “Mother, don't worry. I will work hard to earn money. I won't let you lose money.”
"I believe you. But don't stress yourself.”
Shao Dong turned around and saw Shao Qihai was looking at him. “Dong is small, you know that Dad actually has spare money. If you think it's okay, I will too.”.
"I know. But Dad, you have to save your money for now, if our family needs it for an emergency. When I find a new business, I will definitely ask you to invest so that we can make money together.” What Shao Dong said was true. He felt that they had to leave some money at home as a backup for emergencies, like the last time he was blackmailed.
Pfft, pfft, pfft. Their families would not experience such a thing. However, it was only right for them to take precautionary measures.
Of course, more importantly, as before, he would cooperate with Uncle[3] in this business. In addition, his mother will invest in it, which means that the business belongs to his mother's family. Regardless of whether he earned the money or not, it would be best not to involve his father.
Although Mu Jingzhe and Shao Qihai were not divorced for now, they were not like ordinary married couples. The future is still uncertain. Considering the long term, Shao Dong felt that it would be better for them to separate their assets. For example, now, both are responsible for their own money and they also spend their own money on expenses.
Although his father tried his best to buy things to support the family, his mother also spent quite a lot each time.
It could be said that Shao Dong had read the situation very clearly.
