Chapter 199: Trust Me
Chapter 199 of "Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife" starts the action: Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Trust MeAs Cheng Su put it, life is a great gamble,... Find out what happens!
Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Trust MeAs Cheng Su put it, life is a great gamble, where you must dare to place a bet to have the chance to see the outcome, win or lose. If you lose, itās just about placing another bet, and if you win, youāll be grateful for the courage you had to bet in the first place.
Itās the same with doing business. If youāre afraid of messing up and donāt dare to take a step forward, to fight for it, then youāre bound to miss out on opportunities.
"Take my restaurant for example, itās just selling fast food, earning a few pennies per dish. Over a day, starting from just ten or twenty, gradually accumulating popularity, capital also accumulates in this way. Thatās not all, Iāve even had hooligans come in and dine-and-dash. One lunch service, I lost more than ten or twenty yuan," Cheng Su said, her eyes revealing a mix of regret and annoyance.
"Really? There was such a thing?" Old Zhou and his wife were very surprised, only aware of Cheng Suās restaurant appearing quite successful, never imagining she had experienced such things.
Qi Taiguoās face flushed with shame as he looked at Cheng Su, his eyes showing a hint of distress.
At that time, she must have felt helpless and scared, right?
Without thinking, Qi Taiguo reached out and held her hand. Cheng Su was startled, looked subconsciously at Old Zhou and the others, withdrew her hand forcefully, blushed, and glared at him, "What are you doing, there are outsiders here!"
Qi Taiguo was also red-faced, retracted his hand, coughed, and picked up his tea to mask his embarrassment.
Old Zhou and his wife watched this and both smirked secretly.
"So, going into business is full of risks, but if youāre scared of this and that, you wonāt get anything done. Take enlisting in the army and going on missions as an example, Commander Zhou. If youāre afraid of the various dangers you might encounter during a mission, does that mean you donāt go?" Cheng Su said.
"Of course not!"
Old Zhou and Qi Taiguo replied in unison.
"Thatās what Iām saying. The future is unknown, and itās precisely because of this that we feel the urge to explore. If we avoid issues due to fear, complain, and become angry, our minds would be like duckweeds in the wind, drifting aimlessly. Instead, itās better to bravely try and explore the unknown. Perhaps, weāll get to see a different side of the world, and with that, gain something valuable."
At this, Old Zhou and his wife were taken aback, dumbfounded as they looked at Cheng Su.
"Whatās wrong? Did I say something amiss?" Cheng Su asked, genuinely puzzled.
"No, today I just realized how eloquent and articulate my sister-in-law is. Even university lecturers are no match for her!" Old Zhou said with a laugh, complimenting her.
Cheng Su let out an awkward sound, a bit embarrassed, while Qi Taiguo looked on with pride.
"So, according to sister-in-law, whatās the best industry to go into if one were to āgo to seaā in business?" Old Zhou asked again.
After thinking for a moment, Cheng Su replied, "If you trust me, and youāre not afraid to take a gamble, why not get into the electronics industry?"
"Electronics?"
"Yes, electronic products. Currently, peopleās purchasing power may not be high, but in a few years, they will surely become a necessity in peopleās lives, especially after the nineties, when the times will gradually change. And if you start laying the groundwork now, youāll have experience and competitive capital by then," Cheng Su asserted confidently.
Old Zhou and his wife fell silent.
"At the start, you can be a vendor, a sole proprietor, to make your first pot of gold. Later on, you can open a shop, and eventually register a company," Cheng Su said with a smile: "Commander Zhou, if you trust me, diving into business will surely be better than looking for some odd jobs, just like in Shenzhen, where so many people go to strike it rich. One good deal there is better than anything else, and if youāre willing, there are definitely bigger opportunities waiting."
