Liu Lei looked at the old classmate in front of him in surprise. He hadn't seen him for more than a month. Why did he feel like he didn't know him anymore. Can anyone speak so calmly when practicing? Not like him.
As an old classmate of three years in junior high school and two years in technical school, Liu Lei knew Wei Tao. Could he be so calm?
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Wei Tao took out a cigarette and handed it to the other party. Liu Lei looked back and looked into the distance, shook his head, and Wei Tao put away the cigarette when he saw this.
"I sell fruits wholesale, why don't you go to my house and get some?"
"Really, that's great. I'm worried that I don't dare to buy goods without anyone I know. The water in this fruit wholesale business is quite deep."
Seeing Wei Tao's happy expression, Liu Lei squeezed out a weird smile on his round face and led him to his warehouse.
Wei Tao secretly smiled in his heart. This Liu Lei is also a wonderful person. In his memory, he felt that he always showed off a little. When he was in school, he had to show off when he bought hook shoes. In junior high school, he only had ten or twenty yuan of pocket money every day. He had so little self-esteem. The reconciliation made Wei Tao unwilling to have more contact with him. Years later, he heard news about him from his old classmates. He was said to have gotten along well and was married to a girl from the next class who was regarded as a white moonlight in junior high school.
He is said to be a wonderful person because in Wei Tao's heart, he never thought that Liu Lei was a person who was willing to help others. When he learned about him, he also received news from a classmate that changed his impression. Many years later In junior high school, the class teacher whom everyone only has an impression of but has no contact with is seriously ill. Liu Lei, a poor student who was often criticized and punished during school, went to Yanjing to contact the hospital and helped pay a lot of medical expenses. .
It is precisely because of this incident that he is also a very popular person in the classmate group formed many years later. Many classmates showed off his behavior of organizing a class reunion, and many classmates took part in it to save face.
Before he was reborn, he had no idea that his family was in the fruit wholesale business. In this era, the amount of money needed to transport fruit on a large trailer was not a small amount. It’s no wonder that this kid has been not short of money since junior high school.
"By the way, have you heard? The technical school does not guarantee the allocation. When I went to the railway technical school, my father helped me find the connections in advance. In a few days, I went to work at the passenger terminal. How are you doing there? "In the past, Wei Tao couldn't listen to Liu Lei's condescending way of speaking. Now, he smiled casually: "My family has nothing to do with it. I must have paid two years of tuition in vain. I have no choice but to practice. Spread it out."
When you don't care about the so-called young people's self-deprecation, others will no longer be able to show superiority in this field.
"Dad, this is my classmate. We are in junior high school and technical school together. We want to wholesale some fruits to sell..."
Looking at the warehouse that Liu Lei brought him to, Wei Tao was secretly shocked. According to his two observations, this warehouse has a particularly large passenger flow and sufficient stock of goods. It is also a top-ranked wholesaler in this fruit wholesale market. , it is difficult to go to a technical school to study at home. It seems that Liu Lei's arrangement to the railway system must have a particularly strong relationship with his family. The technical school is just a decent step on the resume.
"Hello, uncle."
Liu Lei and his son look very similar. They have round faces and are slightly chubby. Compared to Liu Lei, his father is just darker. He has his mobile phone in a leather holster on his belt. He has a shaved head that is popular in the Northeast and has a big neck. With a gold-promoting chain and a cigarette in his hand, he was shouting and directing the employees to work.
"Hello, where are your adults?" Liu Dalong showed a professional smile like a businessman and glanced around.
"Uncle, I'd better come here to take a look. I don't dare to buy goods casually..."
Liu Dalong said with confusion. This boy was not talking like a child. He rolled his eyes and laughed: "It's okay, just take it from me. Xiao Wang, you can make arrangements..."
Seeing Liu Dalong ordering a young man beside him, Wei Tao quickly waved his hand: "Uncle, don't worry, I'll go back to get the money and I'll be here soon."
Liu Dalong waved his hand: "It's okay. Get the goods first. Don't worry about the money. We'll settle it later."
Wei Tao shook his head: "Uncle, this..."
Liu Dalong frowned: "You kid has a lot to think about. Classmate Xiaolei is his own kid, so why are you so polite?"
Wei Tao said nothing more, said thank you to his uncle, said hello to Liu Lei, and followed the young man to the warehouse to get the goods.
Outside the warehouse, there are piles of plastic boxes and cartons of fruit.
Needless to say, inside the warehouse.
After changing my mentality, I looked at Liu Lei who followed him in. He had a round face and a slightly chubby face that was a bit lovable. Man, he really had a different mentality and looked at people from a different angle.
"Leizi, thank you. I won't say any more. I have to be an old classmate at the critical moment."
Liu Lei rolled his eyes at him. He used to have a sense of superiority and showing off, but after the classmate in front of him stopped pretending, he didn't bother to show it. After graduation, when he saw his old classmates, he still felt close to him.
"Brother Wang, take it and give me the purchase price (purchase cost price). Don't make money from my classmates." He first told the young man, then turned to Wei Tao and said, "What are you talking about? Why don't you tell me what you're talking about?" You're welcome. By the way, you haven't played Penguin lately. There's a new online game called "Legend" and "Millennium", which are already fun. But in order to mess with the computer, you have to coax the old man. I have been here with him for two days, and you still talk about experiencing life. You said that I can't do any work, so why do you ask me to do it? It's better to stay in an Internet cafe."
Wei Tao spread his hands: "There is no other way. Just make money first and be stable. Da Bozi and Gou Chunzi squat in the Internet cafe every day. You have no contact?"
Liu Lei was stunned for a moment and didn't answer. Wei Tao suddenly remembered that it had been too long and he had forgotten that this dog Chunzi wanted to beat Liu Lei several times when he was in the technical school. He had a bad relationship with him. It's not just that they don't like each other, it's also because of Gou Chunzi.
"That incident in school has long since passed. Now that I have entered society, I realize that my relationship with classmates is still reliable. Look, we both used to make fun of each other. Now, without the relationship of classmates, can you help me so much? ?”
One sentence made Liu Lei blush a little, and he didn't know how to answer it, but he really felt in his heart that it was not a pimple and should not exist. He took advantage of the situation and said: "What kind of help is this? This is what we do at home. , it’s not a sale to anyone.”
Wei Tao patted the outside of his shoulder, without saying anything else, called Brother Wang, and moved a few boxes of fruit with the young man.
One box of bananas, two boxes of Fuji apples, and cantaloupe were good. Five boxes were carried directly. Brother Wang also told him that the 'croissant honey' this time was very sweet and soft.
Wei Tao didn't even look at other more expensive fruits. Apples and bananas are the most common fruits. Summer melons are also the best-selling ones. They are not expensive and every household will buy some.
I calculated how much it cost, pulled out a note with the goods list and payment, saw the numbers recorded by the other party in the account book, told the other party my name, and also saw the other party put brackets after my name, and the content inside was Xiao Lei classmate.
Expressing his gratitude again, Liu Dalong was busy dealing with old customers, smoking and chatting about purchasing goods, and just waving his hands. Later, he chatted with Liu Lei for a few more words, made an appointment to go online together at some time, and also left his home phone number.
It can be seen that after graduating suddenly and waiting to go to work, except for surfing the Internet, people like Liu Lei who did not make any good friends during school will feel lonely in life.
"Okay, I'm leaving. I'll be back tomorrow morning." Knowing that he was afraid of being seen smoking by his father, Wei Tao still deliberately gave him a cigarette, lit it himself and lit it for him, and looked at Liu Lei's slightly cautious expression. He laughed, started his motorcycle and returned to the morning market.
When I came back, it was already bright and there were many people in the morning market. It took a few minutes for the three-wheeled motorcycle to drive from the entrance of the morning market to my own stall in the morning market.
"Xiao Tao, what are you doing?" Zhou Xinglian looked up and was surprised to see a large number of fruit boxes in the back of her son's tricycle.
"I met my classmate's house who wholesales fruit. I bought some, sold the goods first, and then paid for it." Wei Tao didn't explain much, and quickly parked the three-wheeled motorcycle behind the stall, and repeatedly looked at the gap in the curb. A merchant who had temporarily set up a stall in a location open to traffic expressed his gratitude for making way.
I brought the fruit over and opened the box. I reserved the fruit in the warehouse for some related households and long-term customers with a professional eye. The quality was very high, such as the banana with a fragrant yellow color and the red Fuji. After opening the box, The turquoise color reveals the unique aroma of cantaloupe, which attracts the attention of many people visiting the morning market.
"How much does this croissant cost?"
“How much does a banana cost?”
"How do you sell apples?"
Wei Tao has been observing the fruit sellers at the morning market these days. When he was buying the goods, Brother Wang was older than Brother Wang. He also got some information from the other party. He learned that he was selling in the Jiangnan area, and the other party also gave him A relatively fair price means that many wholesalers of fruits in Jiangnan will sell them at this price after returning home.
The distance between wholesale and retail is far, and the profit of ordinary fruits is naturally higher than that of ordinary vegetables. In this morning, Wei Tao and Zhou Xinglian were too busy to eat. Fruits with good appearance and quality are very popular, until the management staff urged them. After closing the stall, the two of them were still selling goods. There were also people in front of the stall who were picking through some fruits that were not in good quality.
Wei Tao is somewhat famous in this morning market. Not to mention becoming famous in one battle, at least people who hang out here know that there is such a young man who dares to kill him. There are also people who are waiting to watch the excitement, thinking that the couple who was beaten will come to retaliate. After waiting for a few days and there is no movement, they assume that the other party is afraid of being beaten and does not want to provoke a ruthless person.
The attitude of managers in this market definitely depends on who they choose. Whether their attitude is good or bad depends on whether you can give them a sense of shock or oppression.
"Hold on tight, hold on tight." He knocked on the iron rod of the breakfast stall next to him and made a sound to remind people. His attitude towards Wei Tao and his son was quite polite, and he did not shout to drive them away.
"Okay. Right now, this melon is very sweet. Let me take it back and try it." If it weren't for the tenderness of his face, and if it weren't for the downy hair on the corners of his mouth that hadn't faded away, none of the market managers would be able to regard Wei Tao as a less than a person. A twenty-year-old 'kid'.
A plastic bag, seven or eight cantaloupes, no matter how much it costs, this little guy knows how to be a human being. In every position in every industry, he longs to be respected, and he also longs for a little bit of control in his own hands. Or the small power to restrict others brings a little benefit that is actually useless.
The managers of the morning market are all temporary workers and people who are idle in society. Regardless of whether they are right or wrong, they will maintain a "social" image in terms of image and behavior.
The few people who were satisfied with this aspect greeted each other with smiles: "Then...brother, thank you. Hold on tight, don't let the city management come over soon, everyone will not look good."
"Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble to my brothers."
From brother to elder brother, you may not even know their names, but the relationship is different. You can behave and speak well, and you must have something that makes them afraid, so that they will be willing to be 'Corporal Courtesy'. In that battle, It is the epitome of this small morning market society.
