Rebirth: Back to 1991 to Become the Richest Man

Chapter 115: Attitude is Important TL: Etude "Who's looking for me?" Chen Jianghai raised his eyebrows slightly and asked as he looked at Lin Wanqiu. "A young girl," Lin Wanqiu replied, her tone carrying a hint of jealousy. Chen Jianghai then understood why Lin Wanqiu's tone was a bit strange. "Alright, I'll go see," he said, putting down his tools. He turned to Zhao Rongxin and instructed, "Continue fixing this radio, and then deal with those televisions. Be careful and ask if you have any questions." Lin Wanqiu didn't say anything and turned to leave first. Outside, Chen Jianghai saw that the girl Lin Wanqiu mentioned was Zhu Yinyin, whom he had met twice before. "So it's you," he greeted her with a smile. Zhu Yinyin bit her lip and asked, "Brother Chen, does what you told me last time still count?" "Of course, it does," Chen Jianghai replied directly. At his answer, a hint of joy flashed across...

 Chapter 114: To Do or Not to Do? TL: Etude "Working for me?" Chen Jianghai was momentarily taken aback, then laughed, "Sort of. Are you worried I won't pay you a salary?" "It's not that." Fang Aiguo shook his head, "Brother Hai, I want to continue selling TVs." Hearing this, Chen Jianghai immediately understood what he meant. Previously, all the second-hand electronics sales were handled by Fang Aiguo. It was hard work, but he made good money from it. Now, with the shop, it wasn't as lucrative. "Are you worried about making less money now?" Chen Jianghai asked. Fang Aiguo didn't beat around the bush and nodded, "Brother Hai, how much can I earn from a fixed salary? I think commissions are the way to make money." "Ah, so that's it." Chen Jianghai responded, "Aiguo, did I ever say that if you sell electronics here, you won’t get a commission?" "Really? Brother Hai!" Fang Aiguo s...

Chapter 113: Something's Off TL: Etude Watching the curly-haired man's retreating figure, Chen Jianghai walked over to Zhao Changgui and gave him a look, signaling, "Find out more about his background." Zhao Changgui glanced at Chen Jianghai, didn't say anything, and followed the man. Fang Aiguo watched this scene, remaining silent. However, his look towards Chen Jianghai was filled with even more admiration. Before noon, Xue Chunli, accompanied by Lin Jianguo, arrived to deliver food. Knowing Chen Jianghai and his team were busy, Xue Chunli and Lin Jianguo had offered to bring food over, sparing Chen and his wife the effort of running back and forth. Originally, Xue Chunli and Lin Jianguo had planned to return home in a couple of days since they had been staying here for a while and were worried about leaving their fields unattended for too long. However, seeing how busy Chen Jianghai and Lin Wanqiu were, they decided to stay a bit longer to help. Given the daily...

Chapter 112: Trouble Arrives TL: Etude Chen Jianghai's brows furrowed slightly as he asked, "What's happened?" "A customer came in with a faulty color TV. Rongxin couldn't fix it, and the customer started making a fuss," Fang Aiguo pointed outside as he spoke. "I'll take a look," Chen Jianghai said without further questions, and stood up to head outside. When they arrived outside, a crowd had already gathered. "Hey, young man, can you fix it or not?" A man in his thirties with curly hair and wearing a plaid shirt was looking at Zhao Rongxin with a mocking expression. Chen Jianghai felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing the man, as if he had seen him somewhere before. "What's going on?" he asked, walking over to Zhao Rongxin. Zhao Rongxin, who was sweating profusely, sighed in relief seeing Chen Jianghai. Chen had opened up a new world of electronic repair for Zhao these past few days. In the realm of repairing elect...

 Chapter 111: Only Admiration TL: Etude Chen Jianghai knew that under the current circumstances, Xu Dong must have something in mind to discuss with him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought the conversation to this point. Xu Dong nodded and said, "Okay, Jianghai, I won't beat around the bush. I want to partner with you." "Partner?" Chen Jianghai was momentarily taken aback before smiling and saying, "Aren't we already collaborating?" Xu Dong's intention was clear to Chen Jianghai; he was just playing dumb. "Jianghai, I want to partner with you to open a store." Xu Dong was straightforward, revealing his thoughts without evasion. Chen Jianghai frowned and said, "Brother, my store is already up and running." This was a polite refusal. However, Xu Dong didn't give up and continued, "Jianghai, I know you're capable. You wouldn't just open one store. So, I'm asking you to guide me." Xu Dong's gaz...

Chapter 110: Acknowledging the Kindness TL: Etude "Brother Hai, today is the first day of business, are you closing this early?" The first to speak was Fang Aiguo. "Yeah, Master, aren’t people likely to bring in appliances for repair in the evening too?" Zhao Rongxin also chimed in. Despite being busy all day, Zhao Rongxin felt fulfilled. Through hands-on experience, he had gained significant insights. Even without Chen Jianghai’s guidance, he was confident in handling common malfunctions independently. Chen Jianghai understood the thoughts of these two young men. To the youth, as long as there’s money to be made, everything else can be negotiated. Moreover, their attitude stemmed from their trust in him as their boss, knowing he would not shortchange them for their hard work. Lin Wanqiu, as the female host, initially hesitated to speak such words. But seeing Fang Aiguo and Zhao Rongxin's attitude, she couldn’t help but feel secretly pleased and spoke to Chen Ji...

 Chapter 109: Giving Her a Heads-Up TL: Etude "Of course!" Fang Aiguo nodded in agreement. "Everything that leaves our store comes with a warranty." "That's great. I'll definitely come back here if I need anything else." After saying this, the young man, with his TV and radio in tow, left the shop happily, his good fortune evoking envy among the other customers. Many who were originally planning to buy electronics decided to opt for the second-hand items with warranties in hopes of winning the grand prize. However, winning the grand prize wasn't so easy. Most people only received a 'thank you for participating,' while a few won minor household items like pots, pans, toothpaste, and toothbrushes. Lin Wanqiu was kept incredibly busy with the influx of customers and continuously handled transactions. Meanwhile, Chen Jianghai became the most leisurely person in the shop. Most customers were there for the lottery, and not many came for repai...

 Chapter 108: What a Great Question! TL: Etude The change of the TV channel brought a different program, much to the dismay of the engrossed viewers. Though slightly upset, there was nothing they could do about it. After all, it was someone else's TV, and they had the right to change the channel as they pleased. However, their displeasure soon faded, and they became engrossed in the new program. But before long, Fang Aiguo came over and changed the channel again. This time, the viewers were truly annoyed. Some of them stood up and left in a huff, muttering complaints as they went. Fang Aiguo murmured under his breath, "Complaining about free viewing? If you want to leave, then go. Don't just take up space." After the second channel change, the enthusiasm for watching TV had significantly dwindled among the crowd. "Hey, how much are you selling these TVs for?" a young man approached Fang Aiguo and asked. Caught off guard, Fang Aiguo responded instinctively, ...

 Chapter 107: A Bit of Marketing Savvy TL: Etude "Master Chen, there are white lines on this TV. Can it be fixed?" A man with a small beard squeezed to the front, holding a TV. Zhao Rongxin quickly took over the TV, assuring, "We need to open it up and see where the fault is before we can fix it." "Okay, no problem," the bearded man agreed readily. As Zhao Rongxin started to dismantle the TV, the man got anxious and stopped him: "Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Zhao Rongxin looked puzzled, "Aren’t you here to get the TV fixed? How can I fix it without opening it?" "I came to get it fixed by Master Chen, not you!" The man pointed at Chen Jianghai. Chen Jianghai quickly intervened, "Don’t worry, brother. This is my apprentice, Zhao. He's just helping me open the TV. I’ll handle the actual repair." Reassured by Chen's explanation, the bearded man said, "I only trust you, Master Chen. Nobody else!" Chen ...

 Chapter 106: I Presumed Too Much TL: Etude Standing before the shop, Xu Dong could hardly believe his eyes. He remembered when Chen Jianghai first came to buy a single component from him. In just over a month, Chen Jianghai had managed to open his own shop. Moreover, opening such a sizable shop on the bustling Pozijie Street and with such grandeur was indeed a significant move. Xu Dong felt a tinge of regret. When Chen Jianghai had invited him a few days ago, he hadn't taken it seriously. Arriving empty-handed now, he felt somewhat embarrassed. However, Chen Jianghai overlooked this, greeting him warmly: "Brother Dong, you finally made it!" "Jianghai, look at me. I..." Even the usually thick-skinned Xu Dong felt awkward. "Brother Dong, don’t mention it. Your presence today honors me enough," Chen Jianghai reassured. Hearing this, Xu Dong felt touched and chuckled: "Jianghai, I knew I wasn’t wrong about you!" "Brother Dong, let’s go insi...

 Chapter 105: Opening for Business TL: Etude "Girl, I have something to tell you!" In the kitchen, where she was busy cooking, Xue Chunli saw Lin Wanqiu returning and immediately waved her over. Nowadays, with Chen Jianghai and the others busy in the warehouse, the cooking had mostly fallen to her. Lin Wanqiu only needed to come back to pick up the meals. "Mom, what's up?" Lin Wanqiu walked in, prompted by her voice. "Did you hear about the lottery event Jianghai is planning for his shop?" Xue Chunli asked, pulling Lin Wanqiu aside. "Yes, I know about it," Lin Wanqiu nodded. "Do you know the prizes include TVs and recorders?" Xue Chunli continued. "Yes, what about it?" "You need to persuade Jianghai soon. Using TVs and radios as prizes will cost a fortune!" Xue Chunli expressed her worries. (bro this MC’s mother-in-law is kinda retarded) "Yes, Wanqiu, running a business is about making money, not giving it a...

 Chapter 104: Boss Jin's Lesson TL: Etude "Hey, just some daily necessities. Brother Hai asked me to buy some prizes for a lottery event he's planning for the opening," Fang Aiguo hurriedly explained. "Oh, then I'll go with you!" Lin Wanqiu volunteered. No wonder Chen Jianghai had also asked her to buy quite a few daily necessities. It seemed they were for this purpose. Chen Jianghai didn't object and nodded, "Okay, keep an eye on things. Aiguo, you can't rush your work." "Understood." Lin Wanqiu answered simply and then left with Fang Aiguo. Meanwhile, Chen Jianghai continued to work with Zhao Rongxin. Soon, Boss Jin appeared leisurely at the entrance of the warehouse. "Jianghai, busy?" "Yo, Brother Jin, how come you have time to visit?" Chen Jianghai looked up and asked upon hearing the voice. Boss Jin grinned, "I've always wanted to check out your warehouse. I had some free time today, so here I...

 Chapter 103: I'm Not a Child Anymore TL: Etude During the meal, the family was cheerful and lively, a stark contrast to the previous awkwardness and gloominess. Lin Wanqiu was particularly happy to see this change. Ever since their last trip home, she had been worried about her mother's stubbornness. Balancing between her mother and her husband was challenging for her. Fortunately, Chen Jianghai had become very magnanimous. Despite being upset, he didn’t take things to heart and didn't create a scene like before. However, Lin Wanqiu knew this couldn't be a long-term solution. She had wanted to talk to her mother about it but found it inconvenient to approach the subject. Surprisingly, Xue Chunli had taken the initiative to come and stay for a while. Lin Wanqiu had been anxious before her mother's arrival, worrying about changing her opinion of Chen Jianghai or worsening their relationship. Now, it seemed her worries were unfounded. During her stay, Xue Chunli had s...

 Chapter 102: A 180-Degree Turnaround TL: Etude Throughout the afternoon, Chen Jianghai kept Zhao Rongxin busy with a bunch of miscellaneous tasks, leaving him no moment of idleness. However, Zhao Rongxin didn't complain at all; instead, he worked diligently and conscientiously. Unable to hold back, Zhao Yuxi put down her book and approached Chen Jianghai. "What's up, Yuxi?" Chen Jianghai glanced at her and asked. "Brother Jianghai, are you really teaching Rongxin brother?" Zhao Yuxi asked earnestly. Hearing Zhao Yuxi's words, Zhao Rongxin quickly interjected, "Yuxi, what are you talking about? Go back to your studies." Zhao Yuxi hesitated, looking at Chen Jianghai, then muttered softly, "Brother Rongxin, you came here to learn from Brother Jianghai, right? But all these chores you're doing have nothing to do with repairing electronics!" Chen Jianghai put down his tools and looked up at Zhao Yuxi, smiling. This little girl was qui...

 Chapter 101: Character Determines Destiny TL: Etude Everyone was busy preparing for the opening, each person carrying a mix of tension and excitement. In contrast, Chen Jianghai was exceptionally calm, still assembling TVs in the warehouse. That day, an extra person suddenly appeared in the warehouse. This person was brought by Zhao Changgui; reportedly, he was his cousin, Zhao Rongxin, two years younger than Zhao Changgui. Zhao Changgui didn't get along well with most of his relatives, but he had a good relationship with this cousin. The reason was simple: Zhao Yuxi. Back when Zhao Changgui joined the army, his parents met with an accident, leaving only Zhao Yuxi alone. During Zhao Yuxi's time of helplessness, Zhao Rongxin was the one who took care of her. Since then, Zhao Rongxin had earned Zhao Changgui's recognition. "Changgui, your cousin seems quite interested in electronics, huh?" Chen Jianghai, sitting outside the door, asked with a smile. Zhao Changgui h...
