The Era of Hard Work

At night, the weather was getting cooler, and there were fewer and fewer cicada monkeys. Hu Chunlan searched once before, and Lu Dong searched twice when he came back. There were less than 300 monkeys in total.

Like the leeches, this business is coming to an end.

And once school starts in the university town, Lu Dong plans to run two small businesses at the same time, so he won't have time to figure out the monkey.

I went to investigate the situation in the School of Finance on the spot, and the purchase of goods can also be put on the agenda.

Lu Dong returned to the old house, took out the recent records, and read them carefully. The goods to be imported were mainly small commodities for daily use.

He did a lot of fieldwork, prepared to stock up ahead of time, and then waited for the students to start school.

It is impossible to travel too far from the place where the goods are purchased. The first choice is the West Market, which has been visited and observed many times.

Lu Dong specifically asked Lu Chun before that there was no special rectification for motorcycles recently, so he directly rode a motorcycle with a trailer and came to the Shilibao market.

The Shilipu market is on the edge of the city, and Lu Dong dared not ride any further in. He would be caught by the traffic police uncle, who would not only be fined, but the car would also be confiscated.

Brother Niu watched Lu Dong approaching, and asked, "Why did you come in by bike today?"

Lu Dong said directly: "Brother Niu, you have too much time, I'm going to the city to do some shopping, can I leave the car temporarily?"

After many days, the two of them have gotten to know each other well, Brother Niu pointed to the empty space next to him: "Park at the innermost side, don't block the delivery person from entering the car."

Lu Dong parked the car, brought down the bucket, poured it into a plastic basket as usual, and said, "It's getting colder, I know there are fewer monkeys."

Brother Niu shook his head: "This is a seasonal business." He added: "Brother, it's almost autumn, I also accept grasshoppers and bean worms."

Lu Dong replied, "Okay, I'll see if anyone has been arrested below."

After chatting with Brother Niu for a while, after collecting 42 yuan, Lu Dong took the bus to the West Market, plunged into the small commodity market and wandered around, looking around and asking questions for more than an hour, and finally came to a shop with a larger storefront. in front of the shop.

There are many daily necessities and trinkets at the door of the shop, and there are toys and so on behind the glass windows.

When doing business in the same market, the prices of the goods are not much different, but the goods here are more complete and the quality is better.

The boss is a middle-aged man, wearing brown glasses, with a parted hair. Looking at the clothes and accessories on his body, they are all branded goods. He is sitting on the recliner at the door to rest.

Lu Dong picked up a plastic water cup from the booth: "Boss, how much is it?"

The brown glasses glanced up, and casually replied: "Five yuan!"

This kind of shop owner can basically kill one by one when doing wholesale and retail.

"Toothpaste and toothbrush?" Lu Dong picked up another one.

"This one is one yuan and five, that one is one yuan and five two."

Lu Dong asked, "What about wholesale?"

Brown glasses raised his head: "How much do you want? What do you want?"

"This, this, and that..." Lu Dong kept pointing, half-truthfully said: "The family has invested some money, and I plan to sell daily necessities in Qingzhao."

His accent can't be fooled.

Hearing what Lu Dong said, the brown glasses quickly got up from the recliner, realizing that this might be a big client.

In wholesale, business is only possible with big customers.

Brown glasses handed over a stool, and the steel watch on his wrist swung past Lu Dong's face, probably with the sunlight falling on the watch case, shining brightly.

Lu Dong rolled his eyes.

Brown glasses asked: "Listen to the accent, my brother is from Qingzhao? What's your surname?"

Lu Dong smiled, a little simple and honest: "Miangui's surname is Lu, Lu Dong. What's the name of the boss?"

The brown glasses introduced themselves: "My name is Tang Wei. How old are I? People around me call me Brother Wei." He asked Lu Dong, "What do you want?"

Lu Dong didn't need to go around in circles: "Small daily necessities."

Tang Wei asked again: "How much are you buying?"

"It's a few hundred dollars." Lu Dong had to consider the loading capacity of the motorcycle trailer, so he could only buy a part of it today, and he would come back one after another in the next few days.

Tang Wei was a little disappointed: "You have no confidence in this business?"

Lu Dong's age is here: "This is not just the beginning, let's try some goods first."

Tang Wei was obviously an old fritter. He pointed at the fans, water cups, soaps, etc. that were laid out, and said, "When you're just starting out, you need to buy more. The more complete your products are, the easier it is to attract customers and the more money you can make."

He, Tang Wei, looked like someone who had experienced it: "This business is the right choice! If you choose it, you must stick to it. Don't look at the small things you sell, but you can make a lot of money."

Lu Dong could guess that this is the way the boss sells goods.

In short, it is to let you buy more.

Unexpectedly, Tang Wei suddenly brought the Fukang car keys from the side: "I'm not afraid to tell you, I bought a building and a car in Quannan just because of this small business, and I can take my wife and children to Guihe Shopping malls, you know the newly opened Guihe Shopping Center last year, right?"

Lu Dong replied: "I heard that some friends said that the things sold there are too expensive."

"That's a place that sells luxury goods, top foreign brands." Tang Wei pulled up his T-shirt, revealing his belt: "See, I bought it there for less than 1,000, the Crocodile brand. "

Lu Dong nodded again and again, thinking that the boss's way of selling goods is unusual, and he has come forward to explain it.

Tang Wei's watch swung past Lu Dong again: "I don't like to show off, so I fall in love with you. I don't tell ordinary people that this business is very profitable!"

Small commodities, especially in this day and age, do make a lot of money.

Lu Dong followed his words and said, "At first glance, Vigo is a successful person."

That being said, Lu Dong is not polite at all when he wants to haggle for a price. No matter what Tang Wei's price is, at least he will cut it in half.

The goods he wants are mainly small commodities for daily use, such as slippers, soap, water cups, toothbrushes, toothpaste, mirrors, combs, mosquito coils, mosquito nets, fans, hangers, convenience bags, bottled water, washing powder and essential oils, etc.

There must be a lack of progress today, and I will come back one after another in the next few days.

Lu Dong didn't talk about credit. The other party seemed to like to show off, but he was actually an old fox, so there was no possibility at all.

After negotiating, Lu Dong personally inspected every item of goods to ensure the quality.

Perhaps this business will not last long, but for a long time, he will work hard in the university town, and word of mouth is still very important.

The goods were ordered, and several large cartons and several large woven bags were packed.

Lu Dong thought of something: "Vigo, are there any electric speakers in the market? The ones that can record and play."

Back then, through the electric horn, that windy man became famous all over the country.

Yellow Crane has gone with his sister-in-law, and the legend is still in the rivers and lakes.

"There are electric speakers, and many sell small electrical appliances." Tang Wei recalled carefully: "I have never seen one that can record."

Lu Dong nodded, and asked where it was sold.

Tang Wei took out his calculator and calculated the price according to the negotiated price. He quickly calculated a number and showed it to Lu Dong: "545 yuan."

Lu Dong cut and said: "Brother Wei, you are a real person, four hundred."

Tang Wei took a deep breath. Whose poor boy would cut half of the goods when he asked for them, and now he would cut them again? This simple and honest look has grown in vain! :

"I'm losing money!" He drew a mark on his forehead: "At this price, I only earn twenty or thirty."

"Vigo, look, you've already bought a house and a car." Lu Dong said seriously, "I wear a belt of 1,000 yuan around my waist. How can I give up this little money?"

He emphasized emphatically: "I'll come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and the purchase is no less than this. Vigo, you're such a good guy, I want to do it for a long time."

Tang Wei gritted his teeth and looked very sad: "I will just make friends with you as a kid. We must have credibility in life, and come to buy goods from me again!"

Lu Dong swore: "To tell the truth, those from my country, we value reputation the most."

Tang Wei opened his hand and showed five fingers: "500! A change of 45 yuan, let it go."

Lu Dong didn't even think that he could really cut off more than 100 yuan, so he said immediately: "Okay! Wei Ge, I'll see you! Can you hire a bread or a pickup truck to take me back to Qingzhao?"

Tang Wei hurriedly shook his head: "No, no driver is willing to run."

Lu Dong also knew this. In some places, bandits and road tyrants run rampant, and many drivers fall into it. If they don't die, they will peel off their skin.

"It's less than Ten Mile Fort?" This was his goal.

Tang Weilue pondered: "Okay, I'll look for a car."

Lu Dong paid the money, asked for Tang Wei's business card, and went to buy sun umbrellas, foam boxes, small tape recorders, electric speakers, etc. Tang Wei called the van he often used, loaded Lu Dong with the goods, and took him to Ten Mile Fort. market.

The van ran fast, and returned to Ten Mile Fort in half an hour. The goods were loaded into the truck body, and Lu Dong tied the top with the plastic sheet and rope prepared in advance to prevent the goods from being thrown out.

Brother Niu leaned over and asked, "Is this imported?"

Lu Dong left three points for his words: "I know the monkey will go down now, I have to find a way to make money, and buy some small things to sell."

Brother Niu nodded: "Business is booming."

Lu Dong said again: "Brother Niu, our business has to continue. I will ask you to buy meat after a while, and you have to give me a discount."

Brother Niu smiled and said, "I'll give you the lowest price in the whole market."

Lu Dong bought a pair of Baijiang cigarettes from a store outside the market, took out two boxes and stuffed them into his bag, and carried them with him from now on.

Going back and passing through the University City, Lu Dong saw Qiao Weiguo, who was as thin as a monkey, sitting on the curb in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Maybe running a big Sunday? Get through Ren Du's second channel? Considering the terrible consequences of going mad, Lu Dong didn't intend to disturb him.

But the second-hand Little Jialing's voice was a bit loud, Qiao Weiguo saw Lv Dong, and greeted him: "Lv Dong."

The last time we met, Lu Dong's impression of Qiao Weiguo changed greatly. He stopped the car and said, "What's the matter?"

"It's okay." Qiao Weiguo touched his cyan forehead, looked at the drag bucket and asked curiously, "Are you running goods? Are you selling something?"

Lu Dong said vaguely: "After school, I plan to do some small business."

Qiao Weiguo nodded: "I'm making a living. Lu Dong, you are much better than Qiao Siliang."

Lu Dong almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, is there such a contrast to praise someone?

Knowing that Qiao Weiguo had good intentions, Lu Dong also kindly said: "You also find something to do. These days, if you work hard, you can always make money."

Qiao Weiguo laughed, probably too thin, laughing is uglier than crying: "I thought so too."

Lu Dong waved at him: "Hurry up, let's go."

Qiao Weiguo also waved at him.

Back in Lujia Village, Lu Dong unloaded the goods into the shed behind the columbarium, and suddenly remembered the hard cigarette case wrapped in a plastic bag. He hadn't fed it for several days, and carefully opened it to see that all the itchy peppers were dead.

This hunter is not qualified!

A hunter couldn't live without pets, so Lu Dong went to the river bank to grab some and stuffed six or seven into a cigarette case at one go.

In the next few days, he sold a few cicada monkeys in Ten Mile Fort, and he would go to the West Market to buy some. Along the way, he ordered colorful flags and banners, etc., to make final preparations for the opening of the School of Finance.
