A different life

Whether they admit it or not, everyone is on the road to pursuing wealth intentionally or unintentionally. Some people have a difficult time, while some people choose the right direction to make a lot of money and achieve financial freedom early.

After financial freedom, some people choose to enjoy life, while others have different choices, which leads to a different life. Boss Luo is the latter.

1

Boss Luo is a typical second-generation military reclamation worker. His father is an old revolutionary and his mother is a young supporter. Like most of the first-generation military reclamation veterans, his parents have given birth to five children. It's a sister. Because Boss Luo was malnourished when he was a child and was very short, he was nicknamed "little carrot head".

In a family with many children, parents have limited resources. The two elder brothers joined the workforce after graduating from junior high school, and both have their own families with the support of their parents. When Boss Luo graduated from junior high school, his father fell ill and unfortunately passed away, leaving Boss Luo and his younger brother and sister. His mother could hardly support him anymore, so Boss Luo went to learn the craft of chef, and was later assigned to work in an institution. Be a master chef in the cafeteria.

The children of the poor have become parents early. They save money to buy a wedding house by themselves (rooms are allocated by the work unit and the payment is deducted in batches), and they arrange the marriage by themselves. The daughter-in-law is an ordinary worker in a leather factory. After having a child, the mother-in-law He took the initiative to take on the task of raising children, so that his daughter and son-in-law would not have to worry about anything.

When his son was three years old, the leather factory where his wife worked closed down. He could receive unemployment benefits within two years and needed to maintain his livelihood, so Boss Luo rented a shop in the community and let his wife open a snack bar to make ends meet. , Boss Luo came over to help after get off work, and the business was pretty good.

Two

In the second year after opening the snack bar, the canteen of the government agency where Boss Luo worked implemented a contracting system. Another master chef signed the contract first, and Boss Luo was passively laid off. But life had to go on. In desperation, Boss Luo and his wife attached their seniority to the animal husbandry company and borne the corresponding pensions themselves.

After putting the matter together, the couple decided that it would be more suitable to open a restaurant by themselves. They have skills and can rent a venue to open the business. After inspection and negotiation, the vacant house in front of No. 2 Primary School was more suitable, so a lease contract was signed - the school replaced the rent with meals, which was a win-win situation.

After simple decoration, the guys from the original snack bar were transported over, a few more tables were added, and the business opened. Due to the hard work of the couple, the business was getting better and better. They had no choice but to call their sister-in-law, who was also laid off, to come over to help. After five years of operation, they earned their first pot of gold.

After the Pedestrian Street Food Street was built, it began to recruit tenants. Boss Luo and his wife rented a small second-floor apartment without hesitation, and hired their nephew to serve in the back hall. As a waiter and cashier, the location happened to be in the center of the cross. During the business process, Boss Luo developed several signature dishes, such as mutton braised pancakes, Hurdak, and air-dried meat series. He cooked the dishes himself, and soon ushered in word of mouth. The number of repeat customers increased, and most of them were ethnic customers. Boss Luo hired a Kazakh waiter, and his wife was responsible for mixing cold dishes and cashiering.

As the business volume increased, the consumption of food materials increased exponentially. Boss Luo bought a private house with a small courtyard in the suburbs of the city and purchased two oversized freezers specifically to store food materials, such as frozen local wild vegetables. Wait, it can also be used to cool-air dry meat and smoked horse meat, providing one-stop service for production and sales.

Adhering to the principle of product quality first and reasonable price, coupled with the development of the local tourism industry, Boss Luo’s Xueyuan Restaurant has become more and more famous. It was even featured on CCTV and became a local Internet celebrity. Dining room. Especially during the summer tourist season, temporary services require 5-6 people. Most of them are students who have finished their college entrance examination and are waiting for notification. Boss Luo's salary is very adequate and the staff is relatively fixed.

After several years of business and some savings, Boss Luo decisively bought out the operating rights of the restaurant, and at the same time borrowed money to buy an adjacent store at the same time. It is broken off and then sublet out, and the rent is used to repay the loan.

In the process of running the business, his nephew has changed from a side dish chef to a chef. Boss Luo has moved to the front desk to handle business. His daughter-in-law specializes in side dishes, and the business is getting more and more prosperous.

My nephew has reached the age of marriage, and the wedding house is imminent. My sister-in-law also has a son, so it is a bit difficult to buy a wedding house. In order to keep his nephew, a capable chef, Boss Luo bought his nephew a second-hand house as a wedding room despite tight funds, and the nephew decorated it himself - which not only solved the sister-in-law's dilemma, but also kept the nephew.

五

After several years of hard work, his wife has reached retirement age, and Boss Luo has already achieved financial freedom. In addition to two storefronts, he also has two houses and one for himself. The other one is in the city and can be used as a hotel. It is more convenient to live in when I go to the city to work.

When their son was about to graduate from college, the couple decided to transfer the store they were currently running to their nephew and collect the rent themselves.

At this time, the husband and wife were developing and forming a company with seniority, and the two families were arranged neatly in a row. So the couple applied to the superior department for land to build a farmhouse and manor there, and they quickly received approval. , so the land with an area of ??two houses allowed Boss Luo to set up a farmhouse by himself.

During the short period of waiting for the approval, the couple set out from their hometown to visit Suzhou, where their son was studying, and then moved to Chengdu. They walked and traveled all the way to completely relax their body and mind.

Sixth

After the farmhouse manor was built, it was named "Maliantan Manor" (a local perennial vegetation that blooms beautiful purple flowers every July). The couple They operate in a casual style. They open when there are customers. When there are no customers, they go back to the city to rest. When there are many customers, they hire a few waiters temporarily.

There are four private rooms in the manor, of different sizes. Each private room has a Kang. Guests can also choose to rest on the spot after dining. There are more than a dozen tables in the closed hall in the center, and there are also There is a complete set of speakers, so you can sing, dance, or even play all night in the lobby after dinner.

This casual business model is very popular with partygoers. You can dine quietly in the private room, and you can also have a carnival without being restricted by time or occasion. This has led to an increase in repeat customers.

Here I have some insights:

People have different ideas. The same is financial freedom. Different ideas have different choices.

Some people still use the original model to work hard and accumulate more wealth;

Some people simply enjoy life and stop working, and their wealth is enough to pay for their lives. Expenses;

Some people work selectively, combining work and rest. It is not so hard, but they still have something to do, earn a little money by the way, and live a fulfilling and satisfying life.

The situation of Boss Luo in the article is not an individual case, but represents a type of people who choose a different life after years of striving for wealth and freedom.
