The fruit wholesale market is still very lively.
Liu Dalong arrived again with five large trailers of lychees. This time, there was no need to talk about distance or distance. The previous hunger marketing had made most vendors hold money in their hands and wait to snap up.
Wei Tao did not move forward, nor did he try to get a share of this pile of goods. It was not that he was greedy and constantly exploited the relationship he knew, which was unreliable, but that the market was saturated and he could not take risks because of it. , he has already made five hundred yuan in the morning, and he must be satisfied whether he is satisfied or not. If the same quantity and quality of goods are circulated in the market in large quantities, he will definitely not be able to sell them all at the sales speed of his morning market and day stall. The price will fall back in two days, and you have to wait for uncertainties. If two or three boxes are not in good condition, you may not make much money.
When the person who collected the money was finished, he stepped forward to pay up his debt. As usual, he gave Brother Wang two boxes of cigarettes. He looked at Liu Dalong from a distance. He saw that the other person was busy, so he did not come over. He just smiled, waved, and rode away.
What he didn't know was that after he left and all five carts of goods were wholesaled, Liu Dalong found Xiao Wang and said, "Classmate Xiaolei, didn't you tell you that you wanted to buy more goods?"
Xiao Wang shook his head: "He is quite contented. Moreover, every time he comes, he is always empty-handed." Liu Dalong did not shy away from the cigarette in his hand. After looking at it, Liu Dalong nodded without saying anything. Before leaving, he seemed to have thought of something and put Xiao Wang in his hand again. Wang Zhao came to his side: "In the future, I will give him good-quality goods at a price that is a little lower than ordinary wholesale. There is no need to give him a purchase price."
"knew."
………………
In the bathhouse, this was Wei Tao's first time taking a bath before he turned eighteen. At three yuan a piece, he could buy ten cheap bathing tickets at a time. In the past, he would not be willing to part with it. He would only take a bath once every month or two, and he wished he could wipe all his bald hair with a bath towel in one go.
In the future, bathing and scrubbing will be standard. Now, since he is not making money, he is reluctant to spend five yuan to take a scrubbing bath.
Unknowingly, after a month of busy work, the muscles on his body have become firmer. The muscle curves that appear after exerting force make him, who weighed 200 pounds and suffered from obesity before his rebirth, very happy. The tan is not at all The obstacles made him feel happy when he became thinner and stronger.
As he moved every day, he could clearly feel that his strength was still slowly increasing. At first, he moved a large box of tomatoes. It was a little difficult but he could still move it, which made the wholesalers say that this kid With great strength, he can now easily lift boxes weighing several dozen kilograms with just a little effort.
Being able to lift something and being able to control it within your strength are two different things.
A hundred kilograms of weight can be lifted by ordinary people just by gritting their teeth, but how long can they hold it up and how many steps can they walk? Do they feel the pain in their arms while gritting their teeth and bulging veins? Without these, you can be said to be able to control within your capabilities.
After rubbing it together, I felt relaxed all over my body. I put on a pair of sports shorts. I bought them at the morning market. In other words, there are no three Adidas, Nike and Puma logos on the clothes. Don’t expect anything else. What do you expect for twenty yuan? .
I got a new T-shirt from home and a pair of flip-flops on my feet, so I can travel quickly. The three-wheeled motorcycle is a means of transportation. In this era of few motor vehicles, it is really convenient.
At a driving school in the suburbs of Jiangnan, Wei Tao went in to find out how much it would cost if it was just a test without studying. He knew that there were many ways to get a driver's license at this time and it was easy. There was no corresponding way and he just wanted to spend less money. , when the time comes, he will go to a second-hand bookstall to buy a book of literary science examination questions. As for driving, he has been driving a manual transmission car for nearly ten years and only changed to the second car in his life.
He still accepted the exam fee of several hundred yuan and said he would go home to get the money to pay it. He was not ready to sign up now. After asking, the exam would be arranged within ten or twenty days. Many procedures were relatively simple and rough. He even started as a clerk. I also learned that if you want to go faster, it's easy.
"Do you really know how to drive? If you think it's expensive to learn to drive at a driving school, you can also learn to drive outside the school. There are personal trainers..."
"I can arrange an additional exam for you..."
After hearing this, Wei Tao understood, and he put aside the matter of getting a driver's license for the time being. It only cost a few dollars to get a driver's license. The fundamental purpose of getting a driver's license was to buy a car. There is a second-hand van that has been repaired in an accident and is only driven in the city. It has no major problems, but the price is not what their family can afford now.
Serving dishes in winter is a disaster, but how about going to the morning market in winter and being exposed to the cold wind and suffering from the cold? His first goal is to rent a small shop with his mother before the weather gets colder, even a stall with an iron shed like a large vegetable market, and burn some coal fire. At least he will not have to withstand the cold wind outside and the falling snowflakes. .
It was already eleven o'clock when he got home. He was very sleepy. He didn't eat anything and fell asleep. He had to get up at around 2:30. His mother shouted that he wanted to learn to ride a three-wheeled motorcycle. He was a little scared. Her mother was generous and fat. To be honest, It's a bit bulky, and there isn't much traffic on the street. Wei Tao doesn't dare to let his mother ride a three-wheeled motorcycle alone to sell vegetables. He would rather let his mother learn to drive and get a driver's license in the future, at least in terms of safety. It's a completely different concept.
The heat was unbearable, and his head was swollen in sleep. He woke up several times due to the heat, and fell asleep again because he was too sleepy. When the alarm clock rang at half past two, he was greeted by the fact that his mother did not allow him to stay overnight. I am not afraid of you playing with words, but I am afraid that you will cause harm to your body.
After sending his mother to the place, Wei Tao was driven home by her mother to go to bed. He waited until 6:30 in the evening to pick her up. After going back and forth, he was no longer sleepy, so Wei Tao did not leave. As long as he was there, It can always be sold faster. My mother is still reluctant to use the step-by-step price reduction sales method. She always thinks that if you can sell it for one dollar more, why should it be cheaper? Our stuff isn't bad either.
After settling the accounts in the evening, Zhou Xinglian had nothing to say. From her son's cart of lychees, she might not have earned so much even in four days of selling vegetables. She didn't say anything to her son, but she was quite convinced.
As a result, Wei Tao did not help sell vegetables at the morning market the next day. Instead, he went to a small rental store on the roadside to inquire. She also let it go. When she came home, she heard her son said that he wanted to rent a store to sell vegetables and fruits. When, her first reaction was why? Rather than directly objecting to it as nonsense.
In Zhou Xinglian's opinion, selling vegetables should be on the street, in the market, or if the conditions are better, rent a stall in the hall of a large vegetable market. Renting a store to sell vegetables was completely beyond her comprehension. Isn't this something that makes money? Even if it's a side street like the morning market, even if it's just the first floor of a residential building facing the street, it's still a retail store, and the annual rent costs thousands, right? How many vegetables do you have to sell to make money back?
"This is okay. It's just a separate house. It was originally a grain store. It doesn't use such a big space. We share a toilet with them. Five thousand a year is a place for us to hang the plaque. As for the door, they will replace it. Mom, you You know? What’s the best thing about this store? Don’t think about how expensive it is. Take a look at the place in front of their door. There is now a little rice noodles and oil. Although the place is smaller, if we rent a house, they said , give us the space at the door..."
Seeing his mother's firm opposition, Wei Tao knew that he was still taking a step too far. The key was that the five thousand yuan rent directly blocked his mother's ability to hear any words.
I sighed secretly in my heart. I still underestimated the difficulty of accumulating the first pot of gold and gaining control after rebirth.
Are there any opportunities to make quick money?
lottery?
I rejected it, thought about it again, and finally my thoughts spread to the level of picking up money. I laughed at myself, it was a completely unrealistic idea. Now I can spend two to three thousand yuan or more with my mother, but it can only be used to purchase goods. All the family's savings combined are not enough to allow him to maintain the normal progress of the current shipment even if he makes any private decisions.
Taking a deep breath, I temporarily suppressed the development ideas in my mind. Let's stick to the steps first. At least the living conditions of mother and son have improved greatly now. It's only the beginning of September, and there is still time before the coldest month of winter. I need to use more. A precise purchasing vision will increase the family's income, thereby gaining more trust from the mother, subtly changing the true dominance between mother and child, and then realizing one's own ideas.
If you take too big a step, you can easily break the egg. Although I am very sure that the small fruit and vegetable supermarket model will definitely become popular in areas with good living conditions, and it will be a sweet cake, I am not 100% sure. It can definitely be done.
Let's do this first.
He no longer had to live in a boarding house, so he discussed with his aunt who worked in a public institution. Her workplace would have some newspapers of the day every day, which would be disposed of in a day or two. He asked her to pack them all and bring them to him. His little What is recorded in the diary is to record what comes to mind, but he cannot remember everything. Reading newspapers does not seek timeliness, but only seeks to be able to use current affairs news and other things to stimulate his memory to open up and think of some advanced things. stuff to prepare for the future.
When he couldn't sleep at night, he would read the newspaper and go to bed when he felt sleepy. His biological clock had really adjusted. He went to bed at around nine o'clock every night, got up after two o'clock, and replenished his energy in the morning. Then he was relatively free in the afternoon to help his mother. In addition to practicing stalls, do some things of your own.
As a reborn person, Wei Tao always has a sense of urgency that time is running out. He feels that if he cannot quickly complete his pursuit of a well-off life, he will be sorry for his status as a reborn person. However, the reality told him that you can't take the slightest step or do light kung fu, you can only go step by step.
Fortunately, the changes in living conditions, the family's current financial situation, there is no shortage of fruit every day, eating meat is not an obstacle, and his mother is already planning to buy an old color TV. Changes such as this still give him a sense of accomplishment. I can’t define how big a role I played in it. In the life I have experienced, during this period of time, I was still a naive child. My mother went out early and came home late to earn a little hard money. As I grew older, my originally fair skin was exposed to the sun. Hei becomes rough. Sometimes he wastes two or three days of food without making any money, and he still hears his mother's melancholy sighs.
Now, everything is getting better, and it will get better gradually.
Wei Tao, who wrote down the fragmentary memory of 'Kuaicao' again in his diary, closed the notebook, rubbed his face with both hands, and said to himself, Wei Tao, you can do it, come on.
The sudden noisy quarrel outside caused Ben to fall into the quiet bungalow area at nine o'clock. It suddenly became lively. Through the back window, he saw several bungalows in the back alley with lights on. He followed his mother there. Looking out from the door, there were cries and shouts and the voices of men yelling and cursing, mixed with some people's exhortations.
"You go to NM school, don't you know what the materials are? You eat and drink for free at home every day, and you waste my money. I will withdraw you from school tomorrow. I have no money to send you to school..."
"I didn't use your money. I earned all the money for my schooling..." The woman screamed in tears, revealing the weakness of her final persistence.
