This kind of life at the lowest level is something Qing Lingzi has never experienced before. It's not like he has never experienced an economic crisis. He has also thought of various ways to survive the economic crisis, but no matter what method it is, he has never used this method. .
The next morning happened to be Saturday. Qing Lingzi was woken up by a call from Brother Zhang before five o'clock in the morning, saying that he was asked to follow him to load the goods. This was also the first time that Qing Lingzi really came to the store. Go to the farmers market.
He looked at the superior Holy Master bending down to select good-quality dishes from a pile of dishes, and then haggling with others for two cents. Qing Lingzi suddenly felt sad, because this should not be done by the Holy Master, he should have done it. He talks loudly and worries about the height of the temple and the distance of the rivers and lakes, but no matter what, he should not spend a long time talking nice words to a group of ordinary people here for a carrot.
"Here is one hundred yuan." Brother Zhang handed it to Qing Lingzi: "You go over there and buy something. We will go there early in the evening to set up a stall."
Qing Lingzi took the hundred yuan, his face full of confusion. He watched the Holy Lord gradually walk away and was buried in the crowd, while he stood there and completely lost his direction. He didn't understand... really didn't understand.
But if you don't understand, you don't understand, but the problem is that the mission of the Holy Lord has been issued. If he can't even complete such trivial things, I'm afraid Qing Lingzi is really useless.
So after some ideological struggle, he endured the pain and lowered his face and contacted Sai Dongfeng: "The Holy Lord asked me to buy something, but I can't do it."
"Ha, you, Qing Lingzi, are you here too?" Sai Dongfeng's tone was full of ridicule: "I also guessed that if it weren't for the Holy Lord, I'm afraid you wouldn't bow to me with your bad temper."
Qing Lingzi stood there without saying anything. Anyway, he really had no choice now. He could either ask the traffickers and lackeys around him, or endure the strange atmosphere. Compared with bowing to the traffickers and lackeys, it was the lesser of two powers that harmed each other. Sai Dongfeng lowered his head and it became easier obviously.
"Haha, old dog, you are like today. I can even imagine how unlucky you are." Sai Dongfeng smiled very happily: "Tell me, how much money does the Holy Lord give you and what do you want to buy."
Upon hearing this, Qing Lingzi quickly told Sai Dongfeng the whole story, and the other end was silent for a moment and then said: "You have been staring at your bullshit imperial hegemony all day long, but you don't know anything about this little detail. .”
Sai Dongfeng was the number one counselor back then. Although there was still a gap between her and Qing Lingzi's level, compared to Qing Lingzi, her control of details was much better, so after a round of ridicule, she started to say: " First of all, you have to see what the Holy Lord has bought, and then see what direction he is going in, and try not to buy too much from him. Then, what is the transaction you want to do, and what materials are needed, there will be a A rough range, and within this range, you can choose those that you can’t go wrong with, such as some soy products and eggs.”
Qing Lingzi followed Sai Dongfeng's words and first observed the direction in which the Holy Master was going, and found that there was the meat products area, and he turned and walked to the dry goods area and bought a lot of soy products and a plate of eggs.
When he and Brother Zhang met again, it was really as Sai Dongfeng said, no matter how he bought these things, he would not go wrong. Although it seemed like a small thing, Qing Lingzi felt that there was something serious about it. There is a bit of knowledge in it.
In the evening, the two of them saved fifty yuan from food expenses in order to customize the sign. They only spent thirty yuan on meals a day, including six yuan for breakfast and two buns per person. Lunch is 12 yuan, and each person has a piece of cake and a bottle of mineral water. Same as above in the evening.
Today's business is obviously better than yesterday. Firstly, they have a signboard, and secondly, Brother Zhang's level is really high, and with the blessing of Qing Lingzi's appearance, all their ingredients are gone before nine o'clock. It has been sold out, and today's revenue is 537 yuan and 50 cents.
It's just that tonight alone, Qing Lingzi was asked for his contact information seven times. Every time he wanted to point at those people and say, "How dare you?" But he was held back every time. He went back and continued to put on a smile for his livelihood, suffering all kinds of grievances.
Every time, Brother Zhang would deduct his living expenses on the second day and continue to operate his cart. In this way, by the evening of the seventh day, their turnover had reached 1,307 yuan, but this seemed to have already happened. The upper limit has been reached and there is no way to improve it.
So at Brother Zhang's suggestion, they added a set selling octopus balls. They bought the goods that were disposed of when other people's stalls closed down, and they spent 500 yuan.
And this week has been the most painful week for Qing Lingzi since he was born. Even when he was imprisoned by Zhao Zheng in the sky prison, he was not so tortured. After all, in the sky prison, all he wanted was to be a good man one day, and He had a lot to think about in the night market, and he had to deal with those annoying and terrible amorous customers.
In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed, and the upper limit of the mobile stalls has been reached. Moreover, the good days of just a few months have ushered in a wave of plague, and the mobile stalls can no longer operate. At this time, the profit of the two of them has reached About 20,000 yuan.
Of course, the 20,000 yuan is based on the fact that the two of them hardly need any rest, won’t get sick, don’t have much need for food, and don’t have a mortgage or car loan, and a large proportion of it is Brother Zhang’s kitchen. The art is so good, everyone who has eaten it is full of praise, and there are many repeat customers.
Now they need to start using the 20,000 yuan they earned to invest in the next business activity. The two of them had a brief meeting during the lunch break. Qing Lingzi proposed to continue to expand the scale, but Brother Zhang, who has been in the catering industry for many years, does not agree with his proposal, because under the current situation, if he continues to do it, he will definitely lose money. The 20,000 yuan will be lost soon, and they are equal to All for nothing.
Since we can't continue to expand the scale, we have to think of new ways. But to be honest, the two of them are really just two bad chess baskets. They are the kind of people who are very weak in business. They can't afford 20,000 yuan. What a mistake...
So Brother Zhang saw that the two of them probably couldn't agree on anything, so he turned on the computer and checked around, but there was still no definite answer. The problem suddenly entered a dead end again, and he couldn't find any breakthrough.
"What are you good at?"
Brother Zhang looked at Qing Lingzi, who slapped his forehead: "I'm good at refining corpses. Holy Master, how about we get some dead mice, and as long as my subordinates modify them, we can make them look like alive. If you can still understand human speech, wouldn't it be nice to sell these rat carcasses to people who want to keep pets but don't want to take care of them?"
Hey, hey, who would want to raise that thing? Come on, those are zombie rats. How many people would raise zombie rats?
"Then..." Qing Lingzi knew that his proposal might have failed again when he saw Brother Zhang's expression, so he sat there in silence for a long time and said, "I really don't know what to do."
At this moment, Miss Succubus, who had been on a business trip for almost a month, came back online. Brother Zhang's cell phone rang a few times. He opened it and took a look and found that it was Miss Succubus who had sent a message inviting him to dinner at night. Seeing this scene, he I patted my thigh and thought it was interesting, because Miss Succubus is a noob, but this novice is an extremely badass, and she is also a professional marketing player. There must be something interesting to ask her.
So after agreeing, he asked Miss Succubus if he could bring a friend with him, and Miss Succubus agreed on the spot without much thought.
Then it was night in a blink of an eye. After they met at the agreed place, Miss Succubus watched Brother Zhang riding an electric car with a beautiful girl she had never seen before. At that moment, the sadness in her heart burst out. .
But she soon discovered that the relationship between the two people was very strange. They were not a couple at all. Although they did not introduce what their relationship was, they seemed to have a kind of... master and servant? Yes, yes, it's this strange feeling.
Although Miss Succubus doesn't know why Brother Zhang has a maid, the key point is that this maid is too beautiful. What is the purpose of a girl of this quality becoming a maid?
The three of them did not go to a very high-end restaurant today, but just a ground-pot chicken with a good reputation on the roadside. After sitting down, Qing Lingzi could certainly tell the identity of Miss Succubus, but after more than half a month of working with those low-level workers His resistance to contact with the people was no longer as strong as when he first saw Master Pi.
And Miss Succubus is an all-rounder, and she is very sure when talking. And when she found out that Brother Zhang and the others were playing the game of starting a business with 100 yuan, she immediately became interested.
This section can be said to be quite interesting - the rich man's 100-dollar entrepreneurial game.
It sounded like a lot of fun, so Miss Succubus strongly requested to join the company, and if she did well in the future, she would even be willing to work full-time. Brother Zhang didn't have any objections to this, and Qing Lingzi didn't have any objections because of the Holy Lord, so he naturally didn't have any objections either.
Then the rest of the time was spent listening to Miss Succubus construct her career plan.
"In business, if it is just a small business, it will never become big and strong. But if it is a large-scale business, the money you make a hundred times may not be able to withstand a loss, so you still have to think about this carefully. For a moment." Miss Succubus touched her chin and said, "At this time, you have to use your connections. You know your connections. Well, since I have joined the gang now, I must be responsible for this matter, so you just wait for my good news."
Miss Succubus looked like she was taking care of her, but she didn't say anything. She just told Brother Zhang that they should be ready at any time when they separated.
And the very next day, Miss Succubus sent a message, saying that she had taken over the Mid-Autumn Festival gift issue for their company, and now she wanted Brother Zhang to come up with a gift box and give it to the boss to try. If If the boss of their company thinks it's okay, he will order 5,000 Mid-Autumn Festival gift boxes before the third of next month.
This is a big business. Anyway, the unit price of a gift box is about two hundred yuan, so whether it can be successful depends on the quality of the gift box.
"Why can she do it?" Qing Lingzi was obviously curious that a succubus could do something they couldn't do so easily: "It feels like it's so easy for her!"
Brother Zhang had already begun to design the gift box and its contents on paper. After hearing Qing Lingzi's words, he raised his head and smiled: "Skills have specializations, and those people you look down on will always have their own specialties. "
Qing Lingzi sighed, then pointed at himself and asked: "Then what do I need to do? Holy Lord, please give me instructions."
"Don't worry yet, you will be busy then."
The gift box designed by Brother Zhang can be said to be very luxurious. First of all, it is double-layered, and the boxes are designed with wooden boxes. The shape is nice and retro, and it feels like an ancient food box, but it is more refined. Secondly, it contains three gifts. The first one is six moon cakes, including golden hibiscus rose, meat floss and egg yolk lotus paste, ham and fresh meat, tea and coconut milk, jasmine and yellow peach.
These six mooncakes are all made by Brother Zhang himself. Each piece is full of ingredients, the taste is beyond praise, and the shape is exquisite and beautiful. It is definitely worth giving as a gift.
The second gift is a camphor wood tea tray, which is carved from a whole piece of camphor wood and then coated with varnish. Qing Lingzi is mainly responsible for this piece of work, contacting the lumber factory and plate making.
The third item is a bronze mirror with ancient charm. The back of the bronze mirror is made with wire drawing technology. The pattern is randomly selected from flowers blooming and wealth, the house full of gold and jade, and purple energy coming from the east.
The cost of these three items is not low. In particular, the bronze mirror can definitely be called a handicraft. But if you ask Brother Zhang how he got it, it seems to be a crime. These are Zhang Yao's trial products. They were originally designed to be able to Zhang Yao developed a lot of secret defense equipment, and this was part of it, but the final result was not ideal. She spent more than 50,000 yuan at that time, and now it is all backlogged in the warehouse. Brother Zhang asked her At that time, she was annoyed when she heard this. Originally, she was supposed to take as much as he wanted, but Brother Zhang insisted on paying, so she gave him the scrap iron price of three and a half yuan a piece.
Even so, 20,000 yuan was far from enough, so Miss Succubus, as the third partner, took the initiative to inject 200,000 yuan into it, but there was a condition that no matter what she did in the future, she would have 100%. ten of the original shares.
Brother Zhang certainly agreed to this condition, so when the samples came out, the boss of Ms. Succubus's unit was immediately shocked. He said on the spot that if the mass-produced products were of this level and grade, he would not only order 5,000 copies this time, but also order 5,000 copies in the future. All the gifts will be made by Brother Zhang.
As for Brother Zhang, when he makes things, he is definitely so down-to-earth that it makes people feel a little silly. He and Qing Lingzi spent a week working on those mooncakes just to make them all. Even someone with a legendary physique like Qing Lingzi couldn't make them. It left him with soreness and backache, and he even felt a little unable to straighten his back.
Under such overloaded work, they actually delivered the things before the third day. Seeing the five thousand gifts being loaded into the car and taken away, Qing Lingzi couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and turned to the little girl. Brother Zhang said: "Holy Lord...it's really not easy. It's so difficult for a mere mortal to survive."
"We have already turned on the cheating device." Brother Zhang smiled: "It would be almost impossible to change it to anyone else."
Qing Lingzi cupped his hands towards Brother Zhang and said, "Thank you, Holy Lord."
"It's not hard." Brother Zhang shook his head and said, "At least I have something to do."
At this moment, Miss Succubus called and said that she would hold a celebration party in the evening to celebrate her success in making the first pot of gold. Of course, Brother Zhang went happily and took Qing Lingzi with him.
"Holy Master... this subordinate will not go."
"Huh? Why?"
"I'm a little tired..." Qing Lingzi said and actually yawned: "I want to go back and rest for a while."
