Chapter 133 Part-time job in a bookstore

"The key is that the profits from selling overseas patent rights are very generous-" Chen Mingluo said cautiously.

He was very worried that after telling his actual income, Chen Tongda would be so excited that his heart could not bear it. After all, let ordinary cadres who earn only a thousand yuan a month feel the passion of earning 50 to 60 million yuan, and many people would lose control.

"How many?" Chen Tongda was a little dissatisfied and thought to himself, "I'm not unfamiliar with money," although you made a small profit of one million a few days ago, aren't I very calm? Did I take the money when I saw it?"

"Six million——" Chen Mingluo replied softly.

While Chen Mingluo was talking, Chen Tongda was pulling out a cigarette and preparing to light it. When he heard what his son said, he couldn't help but tremble and asked in disbelief, "How many? Six million?!"

Just a broken faucet can get six million? Is the money of foreigners just a ghost money? This is too easy to make money?

"USD." Chen Mingluo simply continued to release the second half of the sentence.

Chen Tongda was speechless. After waiting for a long time, he realized that his cigarette was not lit. The match had already burned to his fingers. He quickly shook off the matches and rubbed his fingers. He no longer had the mood to smoke. He grabbed Chen Mingluo to interrogate the truth.

Six million US dollars! Chen Tongda thought to himself that it would be 50 to 60 million RMB. Although it might be an ordinary private jet for foreigners, it is really not a small amount for domestic people.

Chen Tongda was a little worried when his son suddenly got such a large sum of money. What should he do?

"It's easy to deal with. I'm registering an offshore company. The fees incurred by this overseas patent exchange do not go through domestic channels, but directly transfer them to the overseas account. After that, if you have the opportunity to return to China through investment channels," Chen Mingluo replied.

Chen Tongda had never been exposed to this kind of thing, and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, "Where did you learn so many tricks?"

"Dad, now is the information age and the knowledge economy." Chen Mingluo couldn't help but mention his father and said to him with great sincerity, "The last time I talked to Secretary Sang, I asked you to strengthen my studies. That was not empty talk, but the truth! Now you don't have a few trendy new words in your mouth. If you don't talk about capital operations, vc, iPo, etc., they will underestimate you."

Chen Tongda's face was full of darkness and thought to himself, what's the business of these things?

However, his son's suggestions made Chen Tongda make up his mind that he did not learn less about the economy, and what his son said may not make no sense. If he wants to continue working in this position and even have the determination to take a step further, he must strengthen his studies.

As my son said, now is an era when knowledge-based cadres show their might. There is no market for not fooling people.

However, he still couldn't accept the news that his son suddenly had half a million in wealth.

The next day was just the weekend. Chen Mingluo thought that nothing happened, so he simply went to the bookstore to pick some new books that he could read for his father, especially for economics. He also asked him to charge it as soon as possible and also sent a few books to Xiao Mingxue.

Because he knew very well that if Xiao Mingxue could not go up, his father would basically have no chance, and helping others would help him.

Xinhua Bookstore in Mingyang City is relatively large in scale, with a business area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters. It has always been a good place for people to read and buy books on holidays. However, in recent years, everyone has been busy making money, and the business of the bookstore has undergone some changes. In the past, the social science and literature books were no longer popular. Now the most popular are some pastimes novels, such as "How to Get Rich overnight", "Building an Empire of Wealth", "You Can Start from From scratch" and other life guides.

Another popular book is computers, whether it is "Introduction to Databases", "Overview of C Language", or "From Rookie to Expert", which is easy to understand and easy to learn, and the astronomy craze reached its peak when it swept across the land of China, and then it slowly began to cool down, and many young people who devoted themselves to it suffered a lot.

Chen Mingluo walked through the long corridor and passed through several bookshelfs before he found the bookshelf of new economic books. Looking around, thousands of economic books were all in front of him. At present, the most comprehensive economic books can be found in the entire Mingyang City, which is here. If you want some more professional books, you will not be sure to go to the provincial capital Yangshuo, so you have to go to the capital or several other open big cities.

For a moment, Chen Mingluo did not think about what books to choose. For his father Chen Tongda or Xiao Mingxue, they did not have much time to study them. Therefore, it is difficult to read those large books, and it is useless to buy them, but there are too few in-depth and easy-to-understand introductory books.

There are few original and many popular economic books in China, especially many people are not very thorough when translating. It often takes a long time to understand what they mean, or there are many books that simply make you confused and you don’t know what they are saying after reading them.

Chen Mingluo read it twice and barely found two good introductory books. The author is unknown, but he has worked hard to write it. What he talked about is mainly about some common international economic phenomena, as well as some cases of financial operations and market operations. It can be seen that it has been thoroughly analyzed.

Then he found several books about current affairs and knowledgeable about the future economic trend, and gathered them together, hugged them in his arms and prepared to leave.

When he reached the head of the bookshelf, a few people who bought books passed by. The narrow corridor became crowded for a while. Chen Mingluo hugged the book and gave them the place to let them go. When he turned around and was about to leave, he felt that his body was hit, and the books placed on the top were also scattered on the ground.

"Hiss--" A rather painful moan came from beside him.

When Chen Mingluo looked back, he found that Liu Qingmei, an entertainment committee member of Class 8 of high school, was holding her chest and sucking in the air conditioner. It was obvious that he had hit a sensitive part, his eyebrows were all entangled, and his face turned much pale.

"Sorry, I didn't expect you to be here-" Chen Mingluo was very nervous when he saw Liu Qingmei bent down his waist. Don't really hit anything. If the two sides are asymmetrical and you want to trouble yourself, you will be very happy.

He quickly put the book he was holding onto the ground and then helped Liu Qingmei.

Liu Qing frowned. Before she could recover from the collision just now, Chen Mingluo helped her sit on the cabinet where the books were placed next to her. She felt a sharp pain in her chest and her brain was buzzing. She almost didn't breathe in one breath.

Chen Mingluo looked at Liu Qingmei's appearance and was a little worried. He stroked her back with his hands twice to help her relieve her breath. After two minutes, Liu Qingmei finally calmed down.

"You don't look at the road when you walk-" Liu Qingmei gently stroked her chest and said with some complaints.

"Uh--" Chen Mingluo didn't know what to say, after all, it was a very embarrassing thing, and the part he hit was also awkward.

"Okay, I should be fine." After a while, Liu Qingmei stood up and said.

Liu Qingmei didn't know what to say about Chen Mingluo. One was that the place where he hit him was wrong. The other also knew that Chen Mingluo and Xiao Xiao had a close relationship. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a boyfriend and girlfriend. He had helped her before, and he was half a friend, but he was really hit hard by him. He felt unhappy without saying a few words.

But Chen Mingluo's attitude was good, and it was not intentional. Liu Qingmei really couldn't say anything too heavy. She was just a little curious when she saw so many books scattered on the ground.

"You want to buy so many books?" Liu Qingmei asked, she noticed that most of these books were about economics.

I just don’t know why he, a second-year high school student, would buy these books for? Shouldn’t he do exercises and deal with various exams now and prepare for the college entrance examination the next year?

Xiao Xiao said that Chen Mingluo's grades have improved rapidly. You can't delay your bright future just by reading these idle books, right?

Chen Mingluo saw Liu Qingmei's eyes and knew what she was thinking, so he said, "The book I bought for my father."

"Isn't your dad the secretary-general of the municipal government? What's the use of reading these books?" Liu Qingmei asked curiously.

In Liu Qingmei's impression, the officials of the municipal government, especially those big cadres, did not say that they would come and go, but usually they would pose in front of the camera with a belly that was swaying, and do some on-site guidance. I really didn't expect that they would read these very professional economic books.

"Just decorate the storefront-" Chen Mingluo said casually, "You don't have the leaders and bosses in the movies and TV series. There is always a wall or two walls full of bookcases?"

Liu Qingmei felt speechless about Chen Mingluo's answer.

If it is just to decorate the storefront, the secretary-general of a municipal government still needs to ask his son to come to Xinhua Bookstore to buy it? I guess the thick books in the office will be enough.

Although Liu Qingmei was not sure whether these leaders read books, one thing is certain that every time the municipal government comes to purchase books, one is the books that the superiors require to order, and the other is the huge works that are thick and large, and they are very good at picking up and smashing people.

The thicker the books, the more they seem to show the owner's wisdom, which is also a conventional impression. There have even been vendors who only sell hard-shell book covers, just to decorate the storefront.

"Are you here to buy books too?" Chen Mingluo asked curiously.

"Uh, I'm here - I'm a part-time job-" Liu Qingmei replied hesitantly.

"High school students still have time to do part-time jobs?" Chen Mingluo was suddenly surprised.

Although Liu Qingmei is only a member of the entertainment committee member of Class 8 of Grade 3, her academic performance is still very good and she also has hope to enter a key university. She is a girl with both talent and beauty. If she doesn’t read books at home at this time, how could she go to the bookstore to do part-time jobs?

"My mother works here, I'll just come here to help." Liu Qingmei explained when she saw the puzzled gaze in Chen Mingluo's eyes.

After listening to her explanation, Chen Mingluo understood the story.

It turns out that Liu Qingmei's mother Zhang Yun works in Xinhua Bookstore. Recently, books have been often thrown out in the bookstore, and they are all expensive books, which makes the bookstore very troubled. However, there are only a few staff members in the bookstore and do not have much time and energy to deal with this problem.

"So the bookstore mobilized the children of employees to participate in this event. If you have nothing to do, you can read books in the bookstore and help check the situation. Once you find the person who steals the book, you can catch him in time." Liu Qingmei explained.

Oh, Chen Mingluo nodded, understanding what's going on.

After all, it is because the contact area of ​​Xinhua Bookstore is relatively narrow and the system is relatively independent. Many new employees are from the children of employees. Therefore, in order to take care of their children, part-time jobs are more willing to provide them with them. If their academic performance in the future is not satisfactory, you can also consider inheriting the father's business.

Another reason is that theft of bookstores is indeed very serious.

According to Liu Qingmei and Chen Mingluo, the value of the books lost in the bookstore last month was more than 3,000 yuan, and it has exceeded 40,000 or 50,000 yuan a year. If there is such a huge loss, it is better to give benefits to its employees. Therefore, the bookstore simply found more than 20 children to do part-time jobs, pretending to be readers and watching the venue during business hours.

"In fact, there are very few thefts from Monday to Friday. Most of them take advantage of Saturday and Sunday when there are many customers, so this job is very suitable for part-time students." Liu Qingmei said.

In fact, it is even less likely that students can be seen by others as they are an important part of bookstore readers.

"However, it seems a bit inappropriate for you to do this job-" Chen Mingluo said with a frown.

"Why?" Liu Qingmei was a little unhappy when she heard this. She was very dedicated and responsible in doing this job.

"Because your appearance is so outstanding, few readers are not attracted by you. Book thieves come to visit you, so how can they still have to steal books?" Chen Mingluo said with a smile.

Liu Qingmei covered her mouth and smiled, then raised her face again. She was really not very familiar with Chen Mingluo. It was difficult to express her attitude when he said such joking words.

Or Chen Mingluo is very attractive, but he is one year younger than him and is Xiao Xiao's boyfriend. Liu Qingmei does not want to show any signal that will cause misunderstandings in front of him.
