Wei Tao sent a text message to Zhou Min, saying that he had failed Aunt Zhou's expectations and had misunderstood his position in Cao Xiyu's heart. Before he could persuade her, the other party responded first and didn't give him a chance.
Zhou Min had also been mentally prepared. Even in her heart, she never felt that Wei Tao could succeed. It was nothing more than a dead horse being treated as a living horse. Someone first lifted the curtain that was deliberately concealed in the family. In some words, she and her husband I can also speak directly without having to hide it with euphemisms.
Wei Tao is just a tool arranged by her.
Regarding her daughter's statement that he is not my type, Zhou Min also believes that in her eyes, an outstanding daughter should have high enough standards to not like this middle school classmate, so in addition to initially being wary of the close contact between the two, , I really never doubted that something would happen to her daughter with him, which was one of the reasons why she went to find Wei Tao to be this tool man.
At a wholesale price of three yuan and forty cents, 'Fresh Time' ate ten thousand kilograms. This did not include the shop on Anshun Street. Wei Tao pocketed the difference of two thousand yuan.
Money.
When you work hard, the average salary for a young person is a few hundred yuan a month. At this time, the network administrator of an Internet cafe earns 300 yuan a month. At this time, a waiter earned four to five hundred yuan a month.
When Wei Tao and his mother first started working as a stall owner, they were very profitable and could earn 100 yuan a day. At that time, they both felt that setting up a stall to run a small business was much better than going to work.
Now, it was just one morning. He had done nothing. After breakfast, he drove back to the wholesale market. Liu Lei settled the settlement for himself alone for two thousand yuan. The difference in price between three yuan and two yuan and three yuan and four yuan. Apart from their father and son, this matter In addition, at least no one else knows about Wei Tao's current knowledge. Thinking about Liu Dalong's behavior, this is certainly a stain that is not a stain on him. He will not use this as an excuse before the two of them really fall apart, let alone No half of it will be leaked out.
The sales of lychees are very good. This variety of lychees has a lot of pulp, a small core, and the moisture and sweetness are above the standard. The skin also looks rare. After being brought back by various stores, they have become the first choice of customers, almost In every store, there are at least five or six customers gathered around to buy.
"Wei Tao, is there any more? I want to make more progress."
The eldest uncle, fourth uncle, Qiu Bo's father, and Zhu Xichun's cousin all asked the same questions and got the same answers.
Liu Dalong generously told Wei Tao that I would give you as much as you can afford. However, it was not that these people did not trust Wei Tao, but that when it came to buying goods, one or two thousand kilograms was the limit of their trust in buying goods. Once you hold fruit in your hand for two days and its quality deteriorates, you will lose money. If you don't sell it at a good price, it is not uncommon for it to fall into your hands.
Wei Tao was the one who made the decision at home, so he bought four thousand kilograms at once. He didn't tell his mother the real purchase price, but she said it was three yuan and four. No, after he received many inquiries from 'franchise stores' By that time, the Anshun Street store was already very busy. This made Wei Tao's little bit of embarrassment disappear, and he could feel at ease with the difference in price. Without me, you wouldn't be able to get three or four dollars. Looking at the current sales speed, Liu Lei and his family's own store is enough to eat up the two trucks of goods, so there is no need to take a share of the pie.
Compared with other stores, the sales here on Anshun Street are faster. They are all old neighbors. There is trust between them. The recognition that Zhou Xinglian is a practical person has long been spread in this area. She said today's Lychees are a rare species and may not be available in the future. If you are not stingy, give it a try. Although the price is a little expensive at four yuan and five yuan, it still cannot stop everyone's enthusiasm for buying.
Zhou Xinglian wiped zeros and raised the scale, these are all basic operations. We didn't even need to negotiate the price. The price we were given was four yuan and a half per catty. After adding these small operations such as being able to pick and choose, it was embarrassing to say that the price was reduced to four yuan, which was almost This price is too high.
You weigh three pounds and I weigh five pounds. There were two times when I returned home and the food was good. In the afternoon, I started at five pounds, and even ten pounds was a lot.
As he was busy, Zhou Xinglian also hired two rural relatives introduced by nearby residents. The mother and daughter were both very capable. Wei Tao basically didn't have to do the fruit box business. They two One can be fully competent.
It’s not that the soda sorbet business is gone, it’s because Wei Tao is very sensible and doesn’t compete with the school.
There is a cafeteria on campus, and the price is the same, but there are still many students who are willing to come to the fence to eat. It is interesting to chat with Wei Tao. Besides, it is also a spoon and a ball. Wei Tao always comes here, and there are many in the cafeteria. Just a spoonful.
After working for an extra day, Wei Tao received a call from Zhou Min, who apologized to him for not being able to compete. Wei Tao understood it and didn't care, and did not appear outside the fence again the next day.
Normally, Zhou Min shouldn't have made this call at all. It seemed a bit like if you don't do it for me, I won't do it for you. But he called her. The meaning couldn't be more obvious. How could Wei Tao still go to the school gate to talk to him? The school cafeteria competes for profit. After all, the profit of the fruit box business is high enough. He is very satisfied and can carry it clearly.
She never felt that Zhou Min should help her. It would be completely different if she were her future mother-in-law. Now, she shouldn't have any complaints about the other party not doing things for her.
In the afternoon, Wei Tao looked at his brother-in-law Zhang Jian at the door, took the initiative to greet him, handed him a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking while standing by the car.
"Xiao Tao, I regretted not listening to you. I feel ashamed even talking about it. I went to the wholesale market again, and there was no such variety of lychees in the market. When I inquired about it, I found out that the Liu family did not wholesale it to outsiders at all. Two trucks of goods have been digested. If it weren’t for an old customer coming over to make a counter-purchase, I would be really embarrassed to come to your place.”
Wei Tao smiled and said nothing. Should you be grateful for some things or take them for granted? If you say it's useless, but if you do it, you still need the other party to truly perceive it from their own perspective, otherwise, you still think you are doing it. If you take credit for a good job, you won't feel that you should be grateful, and you may even wonder if you are being fishy by saying so.
"I've almost sold it here. I'll move five boxes for you."
"Thank you, brother, I...forget it, I won't say anything anymore." Zhang Jian waved his hands and really didn't say anything. In fact, through the exchange between Wei Tao and Fu Xin, he followed him and felt this in his heart. My brother-in-law's ability has long been recognized. He handed over all the money he had in his pocket this morning. He knew his brother-in-law's reputation. If he wanted, he could get it on credit. He called his family, but the result was that the family thought it was more than two thousand. It's enough. If you don't make more mistakes, even if you help Wei Tao, the worst thing is that we can restock this batch of goods tomorrow morning.
Who is helping whom, who is supporting whom.
Goods talk.
Price speaks.
I’ve never been there, how could Zhang Jian be so embarrassed? The first thing he didn’t have is the lack of goods. When I asked about other varieties of lychees from other stores, the wholesale price was no lower than in the morning. They are not fools, and they all understand what is going on.
Zhang Jian came here on his own. Qiu Bo and Zhu Xichun were partners, so there was no pressure and they could just call and ask.
"I called that guy Liu Lei. I'm going to go. There are really only two cars of this thing. Taozi, if you do this next time, I'll be angry with you. Why are you not the boss of this store? Are you afraid of our hearts? If you think too much, we should no longer be brothers, and if you have something to say, don’t say it directly.”
Wei Tao's answer was the same on both sides: "Sorry, I overthought this time. Please be careful next time."
"You're still out of stock, hurry up and provide support."
"Go away, no, my mother is staring at me and asking me to look for the goods again. Where can I look for them?"
"Hey, I regret it."
On the uncle's side, the aunt came over after get off work and saw Wei Tao moving boxes out, and the boxes were dumped directly on the chopping board set up at the door. People who were walking by after get off work stopped their cars and watched. After tasting one, they all took the plastic bags and started choosing.
In fact, there is nothing to choose from. The quality is almost the same. Liu Dalong and his people are watching the whole process of picking the fruits from the tree. Otherwise, the quality of the products that are personally selected must be far better than those shipped in batches.
But for every buyer, especially ordinary people living at home, if you are not allowed to choose, you may not necessarily buy it. Even if it is something that looks good, you still have to pick and choose to feel that you have bought the best one. , only in this way can you feel at ease.
"Auntie, please ask someone to come and pick it up. I left five boxes. No matter how much more we have, we won't be able to sell them here."
Zhou Xingrong nodded and went into the house to get a landline to call her husband. Although she wanted to take care of her sister, they were a couple after all, and some things were not easy to handle. Wei Tao's good behavior made her feel more comfortable.
I received a call from my husband before getting off work. The husband, who had applied for medical leave in advance, was now focused on the supermarket. He was too embarrassed to open his mouth, so he could only ask his wife to come over.
Five boxes on one side, the same standard for two aunts, is there more? As for whether you know this in your mind, Wei Tao is too lazy to calculate it. It seems that it is nothing to share the goods with each other, but this is equivalent to me using up funds to purchase goods. , it’s easy to sell, you can come to me to restock without risk, but what if it’s not easy to sell?
In Wei Tao's heart, he also set a horizontal bar for himself, just this time. If your durians are gone, come to me to restock a few; or if your mangosteens are sold out, come and restock boxes and a half for temporary relief. This is a trivial matter called helping each other. Is this the case with Lychee now?
