CHAPTER 959: CHAPTER 961: RADIO
"We’ve all come back to South City, so of course we’re stopping by to see Grandpa first." Xu Nianhua’s words were as sweet as honey, making Ji Xinghua overjoyed.
Even though Ji Xinghua knew Xu Nianhua and the others were just passing by and stopped in to see him, he was still happy. If they didn’t care to see him, even passing by his door, they wouldn’t bother coming in to visit this old man.
With Xu Nianhua and Xu Nian’an around, he didn’t even need to worry about lunch.
When Ji Shuyuan returned home for lunch and saw the siblings, he was especially delighted.
Xu Nianji finally remembered the things he brought back from Ningbei.
Besides the box of goods he brought for Ji Shuyuan, there was also the rest that was to be delivered by Liunian’s truck. At the same time, Xu Nian’an said, "Grandpa, this is a radio and a watch that Uncle and the others bought for you."
"The eldest is really something, bringing all this stuff. I don’t even need it at my age, such a waste of money."
Ji Xinghua looked at the new radio and watch, muttering about the waste of money, while asking, "How do you use this? I heard this tiny thing can talk? Really?"
Ji Xinghua had seen it at his old buddies’ during their walks; they were showing off and wouldn’t even let him touch it.
A small metal box that could produce sound; Ji Xinghua found it very intriguing. But hearing it was expensive, he didn’t mention it.
"Really."
Xu Nian’an pressed the battery, pulled up the antenna, and tuned the channel, and a loud sound came out...
"I turned the volume up a bit." Xu Nian’an was startled himself and quickly turned it down.
Ji Xinghua held the radio, full of curiosity, thinking how could this metal box produce sound?
Look, what they were broadcasting was interesting too.
Ji Xinghua stared at the radio intently, and when Xu Nian’an placed it in his hands, Ji Xinghua, with trembling hands, carefully held it and said, "Nian’an, I won’t break it by touching it, will I?"
"Grandpa, it’s yours. You can handle it however you like, just don’t drop it." Xu Nian’an said with a smile, introducing it to Ji Xinghua, who sat down with the radio, fanning himself and listening to it.
"Why didn’t it occur to me before that Grandpa would like a radio?" Ji Shuyuan felt some regret seeing how much Grandpa Ji Xinghua loved the radio. He had only thought of compensating Grandpa with food and never considered buying him a radio to pass the time.
"Shuyuan, nobody can think of everything. Speaking of, do you want to get into the radio business?" Xu Nian’an inquired while taking out the watch, "This watch was also sourced by Shuqin. It’s not only affordable; our profit margin is good too."
"Of course, why not." Ji Shuyuan said, pulling Xu Nian’an to the shop.
Xu Nianhua originally wanted to stay with Grandpa, but Ji Xinghua said, "You all go, I’ll stay and listen to the radio by myself."
Ji Xinghua was very fond of the radio, as it was still broadcasting shows.
Xu Nian’an and the others went to Ji Shuyuan’s shop; the interior design was quite similar to that of Ningbei’s, apart from the size difference. The design was the same, looking bright and shiny, very eye-catching.
While setting up the stock, Ji Shuyuan said, "Nian’an, after the end of the year, let’s tally up and see how much we’ve made, and then we can divide the profits."
"Sure!"
Xu Nian’an was quite happy about the profit-sharing. He was in charge of supplying the goods, while Ji Shuyuan managed the shop. Xu Nian’an took a twenty percent profit share. In terms of sourcing goods, Xu Nian’an felt he had significant influence. As they ordered more stock, the purchasing price was slightly lower than before.
