When he lit a cigarette, Lao Zhang began to speak. Smoke rings floated out of his nose leisurely, as if the faint clouds in Lao Zhang's long business years had returned to his eyes.
This building materials market has a history of 20 years, and Lao Zhang is the first merchant to settle in. He witnessed the prosperity of this market and the rise and fall of the surrounding businesses. ...
? Lao Zhang vomited one mouthful smoke, and the story was in Lao Zhang's smoke, which got into my nose and eardrum whether I wanted to hear it or not. Lao Zhang said: It was too easy to make money in those years. As long as you are willing to endure hardships and work hard, money will go to your home like a horn. I found that when Lao Zhang said this, there was a flash of light in his eyes, full of infinite yearning and nostalgia. He threw a piece of burnt-out ash into the ashtray and said simply, it's a pity that many people lose themselves after they get rich. The success or failure of life lies in how to master one's own thoughts after having money.
He took a deep breath of his cigarette, puffed up his cheeks and hissed out more smoke. He said that the turning point in his life was that cold night when he saw his wife sitting in front of a sewing machine, making handbags for others with a pair of hands frozen into carrots in the dim light. The processing fee earned was only 13 cents for a handbag at that time. He whispered to his wife's rickety back, go to sleep? My wife turned around gently, looked at the sleeping child, turned the sound of the sewing machine pedal to the minimum and slowest, and said to him, I will do more when the child is asleep ... There is no heating in the cold room, and Lao Zhang looked at his wife and children around him. He said that this night was the most unforgettable moment in his life, and he almost stayed up all night. From the next day, he began to take care of the equipment and began to work hard. Others have money to go to saunas, sing songs and pick up girls. With money, he constantly updated equipment, bought land, built factories and expanded bit by bit. Today, Lao Zhang has nearly 10 million assets, and his grandchildren have just run around at the age of 50 ... Lao Zhang himself said that he is not a winner in life, but he makes his parents proud, his wife practical and his friends respectful. Now he is not influenced by business and money. He does it wholeheartedly when he has business, drinks tea and smokes when he has no business, and lives quietly.
? He bounced off another piece of ash and became dignified. He said that one of his fellow villagers is doing plate business in this market. At first, he was the sole agent of that brand, and his business was booming. There is a boy and a girl, and his wife is an entrepreneurial partner along the way. Many people envy him for not worrying about food and clothing. A son, a woman and a flower, his wife and children are hot on the kang. However, it didn't take long for him to expand his shop and recruit a young and attractive salesperson. He failed to control himself and fell into the mire of feelings. His wife has been depressed for a long time, and his business is neglected. His son and daughter are out of control. His son was beaten in a game hall and died unexpectedly. He was sentenced to life imprisonment. It never rains but it pours. His daughter was in puppy love, unexpectedly pregnant and forced to have an abortion. My wife couldn't stand the multiple blows, and she jumped from the 10 floor and died. Today's fellow villagers have been turned into an old man with nothing by life. Business is even worse because he missed the best opportunity to make money.
? Lao Zhang's cigarette burned out. He tried to put out the remaining cigarette butts. I suddenly realized that I don't particularly hate Lao Zhang's cigarettes today. The thin product seems to have a faint mint flavor in the smoke.
