Chapter: 4523

Ye Chen asked curiously, “How long have you been buying at the snack street?”

Liu Manqiong thought for a while and said, “I have it for more than ten years. It was bought by my father the year he got married.”

Ye Chen asked her, “Do you know how much it cost when you bought it?”

“Forget…” Liu Manqiong said embarrassedly: “Actually, I was not sensitive to this aspect, and I was not too old at that time, I just thought that I just wanted to keep that street, so I let me My dad bought it with money, and I really don’t know how much it cost.”

Ye Chen asked again: “Then how do you know that there is still a deficit of 200,000 per month?”

“The manager told me.” Liu Manqiong said: “Before I was an adult, my father let me run this snack street. After I became an adult, he gave it to me to manage it, but I didn’t know how to manage it. I thought Yes, it is nothing more than to ensure that everyone operates as usual and not to increase their rents. In addition, the general environment of the snack street is quite messy, especially there are more garbage and mice and cockroaches, so I asked the manager to arrange special cleaning staff to help them every day. Everyone cleans up, clears up trash, catches mice and cockroaches like that…”

After speaking, Liu Manqiong said again: “Oh, yes, I didn’t need to lose so much every month before, but now most of the losses are because the labor price has been increasing, and the cleaners cost more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars a month, so the deficit is getting bigger and bigger. The more, from tens of thousands at the beginning, to 200,000 now.”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Manqiong couldn’t help but said with a somewhat ashamed expression: “Is it a failure to do business like me?”

Ye Chen smiled and said, “I don’t think so. Your snack street is so prosperous and well-maintained. I believe the price of land should have risen a lot over the years, maybe many times. As for what you said This loss is likely to be less than a fraction of the profit.”

“Is that so…” Liu Manqiong suddenly came back to his senses and said with some annoyance, “You’re right… I haven’t thought about this for so many years… .. for so many years, what I have thought is, fortunately, my father’s business is getting bigger and bigger, and he doesn’t care that the snack street loses so much every month, but he has never considered the issue of the value of the whole snack street increasing…”

After speaking, she couldn’t help but shake her head with a smile: “I’m really insensitive to doing business, and I belong to the kind of lack of talent…”

Marven Ye asked him, “What about your sister? Is she talented in this area?”

“Yes.” Liu Manqiong nodded and said with a smile: “My sister is very good. She studied finance in the UK. Her biggest dream is to take her father’s class, so she works very hard in this regard.”

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said seriously: “If you don’t like doing business, you can really choose the business you like.”

With that said, Ye Chen asked her, “What’s the job you want to do most?”

Liu Manqiong said seriously: “The Chinese department is actually relatively narrow in terms of employment. In Hong Kong Island, the most common employment direction is similar to that in the mainland, which is civil servant examination. In addition, the media and schools are also two more common employment directions. If you study To get a doctorate, then going to a first-class university to be a teacher is actually a good development direction, and I am inclined to this aspect myself.”

Ye Chen asked in surprise, “Do you want to be a teacher?”

“Yes.” Liu Manqiong nodded and said very solemnly: “Teaching and educating people is a very sacred thing in my mind. If I can become a university teacher in the future, I will be satisfied.”

Ye Chen asked her with a smile, “I heard that you are studying for a PhD at the University of Hong Kong. Do you want to stay at the University of Hong Kong to teach in the future?”

Liu Manqiong was silent for a moment, shook his head gently, and said, “After all, Hong Kong Island is too small, always staying here, it will feel a little bit sitting and watching the sky.”

Saying that, she looked at Ye Chen, and said in a strange way: “Actually… I want to go to the mainland to see, I don’t know if Mr. Ye welcomes it?”
