When Mr. Bao was still Bao, he found his uncle and wanted to learn how to do business. Who is Uncle?
If doing business is an art, then this person is definitely an old mage, he is his uncle, and he is also the first noble person in Bao's life.
Uncle once wanted to enter the famous Tilanqiao Prison, and netizens jokingly called this place: Shanghai Tilanqiao Prison is the dream of all accountants, and it is a gathering place for business wizards. Such an experience shows that the origin of the uncle is very unusual.
Uncle said to Bao, who wanted to do business: "Today's sun can't shine tomorrow's clothes, time determines everything." “
Uncle asked Bao, "Do you know what business is?"
Ah Bao said disapprerovingly: "This is very simple, the business is to buy and sell, and seek profit." "Bao's business is feasible on the basis of primitive accumulation, but it is not applicable to Bao, who is poor and white. So my uncle told Ah Ke: "Your original accumulation can only rely on borrowing, so your account is negative from the beginning." “
Uncle knew Ah Bao before this, and he also knew Ah Bao's background more or less, Ah Bao's grandfather was a landlord and had a lot of money, Ah Bao's grandfather was a capitalist, and he was also rich in capital, but when he came to Ah Bao's area, he became poor and white.
Therefore, Uncle Grandpa helped Ah Bao calculate an economic account: "If you want to borrow 100 yuan to do business, the interest must be at least 20%, how much profit does this business have to achieve before it can continue?"
A Baoshang replied, "One hundred and twenty yuan." “
Uncle said very sternly: "Wrong, two hundred and eighty yuan, one hundred and twenty yuan of principal and interest, twenty yuan for living, forty yuan for cost, and the remaining one hundred yuan can be used for business." The cost of 100 yuan, the profit of 280 yuan, what is the concept? Do you understand the current situation? Have you studied the current policies? What kind of money is easy to make? What money cannot be made? If you make a secret lawsuit, pat your chest and you will get rich, don't even think about it. “
Uncle explained the difficulty of business in a few words, relying on borrowing money to do business must have a highly profitable business, if you can't do it, you will lose all your money, if you can't grasp the situation accurately, and if you can't understand the policy clearly, it will be even more difficult.
Therefore, business is not a pat on the chest and everyone can get rich, and all businesses that require input costs must require seventy or eighty percent certainty to start.
Uncle rejected Bao's whimsical idea very simply, he was not optimistic about Bao.

Uncle didn't want to teach Bao to do business because he didn't want to see Bao lose so much that he didn't have any pants left, but his resolute attitude didn't let Bao give up, and Bao said to Uncle A: "But I'm going to do foreign trade business." “
Hearing the word "foreign trade", my uncle was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he wavered, and he asked Bao: "Do you know foreign languages?"
Ah Bao is a good person, from the tone of the voice can hear the wavering in his uncle's heart, he hit the snake with the stick, sat next to the uncle and began to continue to do ideological work: "I, Ah Ge opened a company in Hong Kong, I can be his sales representative, now the popular 'three to one supplement', I think it can be done." “
Uncle was indeed shaken when he heard that the foreign trade business, but he still did not agree to Bao, he said: "Foreign trade is to borrow other people's chickens and lay your own eggs, but why should people lend you chickens to help you lay eggs?"
Facing Bao's innocent and longing eyes, Uncle Grandpa decided to test Bao, asking him to rent a room at the Peace Hotel tomorrow, if he couldn't see Bao at the appointed time, the two of them would be pulled down.
When Uncle said this, he had already decided to accept Ah Bao's apprentice, but he still had to see if Ah Bao had the talent needed to do business.

When Bao asked why he was so familiar with this room, Uncle said, "This used to be my long private room." “
The old mage of Suzhou Creek is really extraordinary.
Uncle Grandpa gave Bao two more tasks: one was to ask him to borrow 6,000 yuan within the agreed time, and the other was to let him borrow 10,000 yuan, and instructed him to buy stocks, and when the task was completed, he would wait for him at the designated place and time.
In the early 90s, although people's lives were getting better and better, 16,000 yuan was not a small amount, and it was not easy to borrow money. But the task assigned by the uncle is to investigate Bao's connections and ability to persuade others, and if it is done, it means that Bao has the ability to do business, and if the second task is completed, it means that Bao has a bottom line, and at that time Bao earned a sack of money with 10,000 yuan, which was also an astronomical amount at the time, and Bao could take the money and leave, and no longer need to pay attention to his uncle.
However, Ah Bao waited at the agreed place, and although the appointed time passed, Ah Bao did not leave. When Uncle came over, Po even complained that Uncle was late.
It was precisely because Uncle saw Bao's persistence, enthusiasm, and integrity that he decided to accept this younger brother. It's just that Later, Ah Bao didn't listen to his uncle's advice several times, and his uncle also felt that he had lost his eyes and accepted a debt collector, which is all a later story.
