Chapter 182 Forced to Separate
Chapter 182 Forced to Separate
Hua Antao's radio speech left a deep impression on all the parents and students in the second year of high school.
Hua Lichu's speech under the national flag made her known to all the teachers and students in the school.
Time flies like an arrow, and Wednesday's long break has arrived in the blink of an eye.
Hua Lichu held the prepared manuscript, her palms sweaty.
Fortunately, her experience in doing business over the past year prevented her from becoming stage-frightened, but looking at the sea of people with their heads down, nervousness was inevitable.
Like her sister, she shared her learning experiences for each subject during her speech.
She doesn't specialize in any particular subject, so she doesn't have a specific focus.
In her speech, she emphasized the importance of specialized training.
"If you don't know a particular question type, find some materials, do all the questions of that type, and then summarize and categorize the questions you got wrong."
In addition, she emphasized:
"Humanities subjects, such as Chinese and English, focus on cultivating a sense of language."
Why do I say this? Because it's impossible for us to be completely confident about every single question.
When faced with a question you don't know, you naturally need to guess, but there are techniques to guessing. People with a good sense of language can subconsciously choose the correct answer...
Hua Antao can only get a perfect score in science because the test paper only has that many points.
Hua Lichu doesn't have her older sister's talent for science; her high scores are entirely due to her hard work and practice.
"Do more practice problems whenever you have free time, as long as you see more of the world..."
Hua Lichu's shared learning experience not only greatly benefited the students, but also earned frequent nods of approval from the teachers.
Because when she finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from below.
At the very back of the group, Hua Yuansheng led a group of employees and relatives, clapping his hands loudly, his face full of pride.
Looking at the radiant Hua Lichu, Yang Daya secretly made up her mind to enroll in an adult night school to improve her education.
Life after the speech under the national flag continued as peacefully as ever.
But the peace belongs to others, not to the Kari and her sister.
They attend school during the day and handle various matters related to the shop at night.
The village's small workshops were also built under the strict supervision of Hua Yuanqing and Hua Anyan.
The workshop is not large, consisting of only three rows of small factory buildings.
In order to prevent the production methods of various semi-finished products from being leaked, and in order to improve work efficiency, Hua Lichu, referencing the assembly line in the factory, assigned all workers to fixed positions.
A person only needs to perform one action in a monotonous and repetitive manner.
Because there are many types of processed products, there is no fear that workers might collude to learn from each other. After all, even the simplest things are divided into many processes by Hua Lichu.
A discerning person can find the nearest steps in the process, but cannot find the entire production process.
In addition, Hua Lichu emptied her pockets and bought a lot of machines.
But the machine was too expensive, so she had to pull strings everywhere to find a bargain and buy a second-hand one.
Finding a bargain is largely a matter of luck.
Sometimes, with a bit of luck, you can buy a pretty good piece of equipment for a small amount of money.
When you're unlucky, things can get really bad.
At a critical moment, Hua Antao stepped forward and repaired several machines, saving the family a lot of money.
Even so, Hua Lichu's pockets were still emptied.
She not only spent all her previous savings, but also invested all the money she received later.
Fortunately, the factory's production efficiency is quite good, so the franchising project can finally be put on the agenda.
She gathered all the employees together and set up a sales department, asking them to take samples and promote their products in nearby counties and cities.
Soon, the sales staff brought in the first franchisee for Hualichu.
Just as she had guessed, the other party chose a mala tang (spicy hot pot) shop instead of a fried chicken and milk tea shop, which required a larger initial investment.
Since it's a franchise, there will definitely be a franchise fee.
Because the other party was the first franchisee, Hua Lichu gave them a 10% discount on the franchise fee that had been agreed upon beforehand.
This caused great distress to the other franchisees who were a step behind.
No matter how eloquently they spoke, they couldn't get Hua Lichu to agree; she only said:
"I can give you a 9% discount on your first order."
Within three months, Hualichu's franchise stores sprang up all over several nearby counties and cities.
As Huali made a fortune, it had no choice but to further expand the scale of its factory.
At the same time, construction officially began on the land she bought next to her rented house.
Before construction began, Hua Lichu specifically spent money to hire an architect from the job market to design the house according to her requirements.
It has to be said, professionals are truly different.
This architect not only designed a house that met Hua Lichu's requirements, but also helped her make several trips to the relevant departments to obtain a permit to build an 8-story house.
Hua Lichu divided the 800-square-meter area in two and built two eight-story buildings.
The two buildings are located one behind the other and have the same layout; the four lower floors are all standard rooms.
A standard room is a single room with a bathroom and a kitchenette.
To the left of the entrance is a small kitchen, no more than two or three square meters in size. To make the visual effect better, the kitchen partition is made of glass.
The bathroom is naturally on the right-hand side as you enter.
Besides that, there's only one space left to put the bed and the cabinet.
The entire single room is only a little over ten square meters in size, but it can meet the basic needs of a person living alone.
In a time when most tenement buildings share a single bathroom per floor and small coal stoves serve as kitchens in the hallways, Hua Lichu's rental apartment, with its own small kitchen and bathroom, is quite eye-catching.
Go up from the 4th floor. The 5th, 6th and 8th floors are two-bedroom apartments. Apart from having an extra room and a small living room, the interior furnishings are the same as those on the lower floors.
The 7th floor, on the other hand, features larger three-bedroom apartments.
Hua Lichu counted them: there are four floors below, with 25 single rooms on each floor. There are two four-story buildings, which means there are 200 single rooms.
The 5th, 6th and 8th floors each have 18 rooms, and the two three-story buildings have a total of 108 rooms.
As for three-bedroom apartments, there are only 20.
Because of ample funding, the two buildings were constructed very quickly, taking less than six months to complete.
After the house was built, Hua Lichu deliberately left it vacant for several months until the formaldehyde levels inside completely dropped before renting it out.
Because of its prime location, the house is never short of tenants.
While it's difficult to rent out all the properties, an 8% occupancy rate is quite achievable.
Every time Hua Lichu collects rent with the keys, she smiles like a little hamster.
After all, how could anyone not be happy with a 17-year-old landlady?
But before the house could be built, something happened that forced Hua Lichu and Hua Antao, the two sisters, to separate temporarily.
