Xiao Anan lived a very happy life.
Especially after her parents weren't short on money, she could have whatever she liked.
Her parents' love for her was naturally from the bottom of their hearts.
Usually, seeing her bored at the Headquarters, they would even have Little Aunt Chen Qi actively take her out to play.
She had been on vacation for over a month and played until she was tanned.
And even made Little Aunt Chen Qi a bit tanner.
"You two haven't eaten yet, right?"
Song Yanxi found a seafood buffet restaurant that was quite good and planned to take them to try it together.
Chen Qi is currently working as a financial officer at the company, with an income of seven to eight thousand per month and relatively flexible working hours.
She herself drove an Audi A4 out; being able to drive this kind of car at her age actually already avoided many ineffective relationships.
As the saying goes, if you work in a factory or earn a few thousand yuan a month, you can't possibly pursue a beautiful girl driving an Audi, right?
Wouldn't you feel guilty?
If she were driving a porsche panamera, she'd probably stay single.
Those suitable for her wouldn't dare pursue her, and those who dare pursue her are definitely not suitable for her.
Xiao Anan is a little foodie; she's not big but eats a lot.
She ate shrimp one bite at a time, without hesitation.
Du Juan told Song Yanxi about some beauty and skincare matters, and only then did Chen Qi know that her Brother actually wanted to open a high-end beauty salon.
"Sister-in-law, why didn't you tell me Brother wanted to open a high-end beauty salon?"
"You didn't ask either. He just mentioned it a few times back then, feeling that beauty salons were quite profitable."
"Beauty salons aren't just profitable; they're downright exorbitant!"
Chen Qi had, after all, worked at the front desk of a beauty salon a few years ago; the one she joined was even famous in Sha City.
"Let me tell you this: that French treatment you discussed today, the product itself is actually worth at most a few thousand yuan. The rest, aside from the beautician's labor fee and some sales commission, is all profit."
"A sixty-eight thousand yuan treatment, and the product is only worth a few thousand?"
Song Yanxi was surprised, glad she didn't end up being that sucker.
"What else?"
Chen Qi explained, "The most important thing about opening a beauty salon is the customer base. This is not like selling fruit; those who can enter a beauty salon must be wealthy customers. Only this kind of customer can truly afford the consumption. A high-end beauty salon that is truly established will have an annual profit of at least eight or nine million."
Exaggerated, it really is quite exaggerated.
The more she thought about it, the more Song Yanxi felt that a beauty salon was promising.
Her Husband had already invested in the Entertainment Circle, and he had also told her his true purpose.
If they could create a few stars in the Entertainment Circle, with some celebrity effect, they wouldn't be too short on customer resources.
What is truly lacking now are people who understand the industry.
After all, Song Yanxi herself couldn't possibly do beauty treatments for people.
"Xiao Qi, if you have resources in this area, please help your Brother keep an eye out. If your Brother opens a beauty salon in the future, no matter how much the first store invests, you don't need to contribute a cent. Your Sister-in-law will make the decision for you and give you a quarter of the shares."
Her Husband only had this one biological Sister; it was impossible to let her keep earning a stagnant salary of seven or eight thousand.
This income is not low in South Province, but it's really nothing in Beijing.
Housing prices are still skyrocketing.
The small villa they bought has risen to thirty-five thousand per square meter after just a few months.
They inexplicably made a few million yuan again.
Ah, these houses are truly frustrating.
Song Yanxi thought, if her Little Aunt truly settles in Beijing.
As her Sister-in-law, she would still have to give her an apartment no matter what.
It doesn't need to be too big, a hundred square meters is enough.
She must give her a home.
A young girl fighting on her own, when can she ever buy a house?
She planned to go home and talk about this with her Husband.
As for her Sister Song Wu, that wasn't necessary.
If she couldn't make it in the Entertainment Circle, she could just wait to inherit the family property in the future.
As her Sister, she would at most not compete with her.
Chen Qi hadn't even thought of it yet, but her Sister-in-law was already considering the matter of a house for her.
The main reason was the fierce housing prices; buying early saved money.
If she bought later at this rate of increase, she might get stuck at the peak.
That would be even more disadvantageous then.
Song Yanxi still had her own considerations; the money in her card couldn't just be kept unused like this.
She had to find a way to make money generate money.
Flipping houses was undoubtedly the best choice.
Her eyes lit up; what a good idea.
The corners of her eyes almost curved into a slit from smiling.
Chen Qi, meanwhile, was thinking of poaching her former colleagues, but she also asked, "Sister-in-law, how much is Brother planning to invest if he opens a beauty salon?"
"If our family does it, we will definitely only do the highest end."
Song Yanxi thought for a moment and said, "The first store is expected to invest around three million."
Hiss... if three million is all spent on hardware and decoration, that's definitely top luxury.
It would be many times better than the one they went to today.
Song Yanxi also said, "Neither your Brother nor I understand beauty treatments too well. The person who comes in to be in charge in the early stage is very crucial. Whether she is capable enough will determine the success or failure of this store. So, I can make the decision; she doesn't need any investment, and I will give her 20% of the shares for free."
Calculating three million at 20%, that would be six hundred thousand.
If this condition is offered, someone will definitely be tempted.
After all, people who work in beauty are usually rural girls. After working for so many years, very few can directly take out several hundred thousand to start a business.
But for those like them who invest in beauty, it's different; they have money but no skills.
Only cooperation between the two can lead to a win-win situation.
This is also what her Husband has always advocated: if you want to cooperate with others, you must ensure they make money.
Only then will others work wholeheartedly with you.
Zhang Tao, Liu Jing, and the others are all like this.
Without them, their family's fruit business could never have developed so quickly.
Song Yanxi also followed suit.
After returning home, she told Chen Pingsheng about this matter.
He had no objections at all; instead, he thought it was very good.
On the contrary, when she wanted to flip houses, Chen Pingsheng fell silent.
As for flipping houses, it's definitely profitable.
It's just that given his family's current situation, without using public funds from the fruit store to flip, they could only flip two or three sets a year at most.
Earning a little more is better than nothing.
The hardest part about making money is the initial stage. Once you have initial accumulation, making money isn't that difficult anymore.
"There are purchase restrictions in Beijing. If you want to flip houses, don't get loans, and prefer second-hand homes over off-plan homes."
"Husband, why are you so unwilling to buy off-plan homes?" Song Yanxi asked doubtfully.
In the current real estate market, the only way to buy new homes is to buy off-plan homes.
Chen Pingsheng explained, "You're also in business, don't you understand? What are off-plan homes?"
"Real estate companies acquire a piece of land, then turn around and use this land for a bank loan. After getting the bank loan, they come back to develop this land."
"They've only just laid the foundation and already started selling off-plan units, then use the money from us who bought the off-plan units to develop other land."
"Do you know how high the financial risk is in this? I feel that if real estate continues like this, it will eventually collapse, and the entire China economy may face a crisis of collapse."
"That serious?"
"I hope I'm overthinking it."
Chen Pingsheng said, "I definitely don't object to you using your own money to flip houses. As long as you don't get bank loans and buy with full payment, no matter how the real estate market changes, our family won't have any risks."
Song Yanxi thought about it and agreed; their family had already passed the initial stage of primitive accumulation.
They now have quite a few businesses, including fruit supermarkets and Entertainment Circle investments.
Now they are also preparing to open a beauty salon.
Flipping houses is just a side business; it's better to be steady.
