Chapter 27: Business is Deserted
"Hu Mingchen, what is your big package?" Hu Mingchen arrived at the school gate early Monday morning and met Gu Xiaoqi.
Seeing that Hu Mingchen's usually shriveled schoolbag was swollen and bulging, and he couldn't be propped up, Gu Xiaoqi became curious.
Hu Mingchen arrived home with Hu Jianqiang at almost eleven o'clock on Sunday night. This long mountain road from Duge Railway Station to home, if Hu Jianqiang is not with him, Hu Mingchen alone is really a big problem. Even if he had a mental age of thirty, he would be panicked.
Hu Mingchen did not passively go to school because he was tired for a day, his passivity to go to school is equivalent to passively earning money, and the two can be equated at present.
"Hey, good stuff. Hu Mingchen hugged his schoolbag and smiled and sold it.
"Show me, show me. As soon as he heard that it was a good thing, Gu Xiaoqi became energetic.
"I'll show you in the classroom, let's go, I'll see in the classroom. ”
When he arrived at the classroom, he was not the only one to see Gu Xiaoqi, how could there be less Mao Feng and Luo Zhizheng, a group of people surrounded him, just to see what kind of medicine was sold in his schoolbag.
Since experiencing the controversy with Huang Xiaoyang, Hu Mingchen's prestige in the class has become higher and higher, not only because he made Huang Xiaoyang deflated, nor just because he invited Luo Zhizheng and their guests, but also an important aspect is that Hu Mingchen's learning seems to have improved by leaps and bounds.
Hu Mingchen not only has no shortage of homework every day, but also always gets it right. In class, in the face of the teacher's questions, Hu Mingchen has no stage fright, he can deal with the questions that others can't answer, and he is often praised by the teacher.
Everyone in the class is speculating that in the test at the end of the month, Hu Mingchen is very likely to achieve a breakthrough and become the first in the class.
After the interest of the little friend was aroused, Hu Mingchen slowly opened the zipper and opened the schoolbag.
"What is this? It looks like some little playing cards. When he saw the contents of Hu Mingchen's schoolbag, Gu Xiaoqi was a little disappointed.
They thought it was something to eat, but it turned out to be some brand-new little cards.
"Hu Mingchen, there are pictures printed on it, what is this for, the pictures look pretty good. Luo Zhizheng held a few cards in his hand and asked Hu Mingchen as he rummaged.
"Hehehe, you dirt buns, game cards, look at what you have in your hand, this is a divine beast card, that is a monster card, this divine beast card can eat the monster card, this has the energy of three stars, and there are only two stars. Luo Zhizheng's reaction was already expected by Hu Mingchen, so he was not surprised.
"Then these two are dinosaurs on them, different dinosaurs, which one is amazing?" Mao Feng asked Hu Mingchen with two cards.
"Silly bird, it's written, that's Tyrannosaurus rex, this is Triceratops, and Triceratops is certainly not an opponent of Tyrannosaurus rex. ”
"Wow, I see, it's kind of interesting. Mao Feng said suddenly.
"Of course it's interesting, just like Gu Xiaoqi said, it's similar to playing cards, it can be played and struggled, and there are many more interesting ones. Hu Mingchen said.
"How can you have so many, I think you don't have more than a hundred here, are you giving them to us?" Gu Xiaoqi asked.
"For you, you want to be beautiful, I bought it, I want it, I have to buy it with money. ”
Hu Mingchen still hopes to make some money through these gadgets, how can it be given away. Besides, this schoolbag costs dozens of dollars, even if it is sent, it is impossible to send so much.
"I still need money to buy it, how much is it?"
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, five cents a piece, three dollars a dollar, two thousand dollars and seven pieces. Hu Mingchen shook his head and said.
Considering the situation in Duge Township, Hu Mingchen did not adopt the same price strategy as in the city. For example, he sells seven tickets for two yuan, which is much cheaper than in the city, but even so, his gross profit is 70 percent, and if he buys a single piece for five cents, the profit is as high as 194 percent.
Although the profit of buying alone is higher, in order to increase sales, Hu Mingchen still decided to expand the quantity and lower the price.
In the face of the student market, small profits are king.
"Ah, it's only five cents a piece, why is it so expensive?" Hu Mingchen offered the price, and Luo Zhizheng was taken aback first.
"Is it expensive? Everyone in the city is playing, and they still shout expensive for a few cents, and they sell a piece in the city. Besides, five cents a piece is expensive, so it can be three pieces a dollar, then it will be cheap. You see how good this material is, it won't break when it's bent like this, and it can be preserved for many, many years. And how beautiful and beautiful the pictures are. Hu Mingchen flickered.
Of course, Hu Mingchen doesn't want to pit his own friends, but he wants to open up sales, which is a necessary process.
"Cut, it's good, but how many people will have a dollar on them at any time?" Gu Xiaoqi said.
"If there is no one, then there will be two people combined, and there will be three people together? Stupid bird, if you want to take advantage, you have to use your brain, three pieces for one dollar, which is equivalent to three cents. Hu Mingchen said bewildermently.
What Hu Mingchen said to Gu Xiaoqi was to hope that they could say similar things to others later. In a word, Hu Mingchen just hopes to use these friends around him as a way to spread, and his business starts with a few of them.
"I have five cents here, I was going to eat at noon, I took a fancy to these two, can you sell me two?" Gu Xiaoqi said with a shy smile and bargained with Hu Mingchen.
"Five cents, forget it, we are friends, you should keep your five cents for yourself, I will give you these two cents. ”
"Hu Mingchen, you don't want money, give it to me, is it true?" Hearing that he didn't want money, Gu Xiaoqi was immediately surprised.
"Am I still lying to you, lest you want to go back for two cents like last time, take it. Saying that, Hu Mingchen took out the two cards that Gu Xiaoqi liked and gave them to him.
got Hu Mingchen's gift, Gu Xiaoqi didn't care about Hu Mingchen's teasing of him, and happily studied it in his hands.
"Hu Mingchen, we also want it, if you send Gu Xiaoqi, do you also give me and Mao Feng two photos, we are also your friends, it's not good to be eccentric. Seeing that Gu Xiaoqi got two game cards without spending money, Luo Zhizheng also jumped out.
In order to increase the persuasiveness, Luo Zhizheng also pulled Mao Feng up.
Mao Feng's eyes stared at Hu Mingchen with longing, which showed that he also wanted it.
"Yes, count me at a loss, who called you my friend, give, you two, Mao Feng, you also take two, but I can say it first, don't tell anyone else that I gave it to you, you have to say that you bought it, understand? If everyone asks me for it, I can't afford to send it." Hu Mingchen advised.
"Understood, understood. I will not talk nonsense, and I promise not to talk nonsense. Luo Zhizheng and Mao Feng replied in a loud voice.
As long as Hu Mingchen doesn't want money to give to himself, Luo Zhizheng and Mao Feng don't care about others. With the benefits of Hu Mingchen, they have no reason to dismantle Hu Mingchen's platform, of course, Hu Mingchen is what he says.
Children are easy to be satisfied, and after getting the card given by Hu Mingchen, Gu Xiaoqi and the three of them had a lot of fun.
The three of them got together to play between classes, which attracted the curiosity and onlookers of many students. After inquiring, I knew that it was purchased from Hu Mingchen, so some students found Hu Mingchen and wanted similar cards.
Of course, not everyone who is looking for Hu Mingchen has money, some people don't have a penny in their pockets, and some people can come up with a few cents to buy it.
Whether it is bought with money or not, Hu Mingchen is warmly received. Those who have money can also hold people's fields, and those who don't have money can also support people.
As long as that atmosphere is set up, Hu Mingchen will not worry that his cards will not sell.
By the time school was out at noon, Hu Mingchen had actually sold twelve tickets in his class and received four yuan.
At the end of school at noon, Hu Mingchen left the classroom faster than usual.
He didn't rush out to buy something to eat when he was hungry, but he had to hurry to the school gate to choose a spot to sell his card.
Hu Mingchen rented a house at the school gate, but he didn't have time to clean that room, and the owner just temporarily removed the sundries inside. Therefore, Hu Mingchen can only set up a roadside stall at the school gate for the time being.
Gu Xiaoqi and the three of them knew that Hu Mingchen was going to sell cards, and their movements were not as fast as Hu Mingchen's, but they were not much slower, and followed closely behind Hu Mingchen's buttocks.
Gu Xiaoqi and they don't have the consciousness of helping for the time being, they just want to accompany Hu Mingchen to see the excitement, and by the way, study the cards that have not yet been opened.
When he arrived at the school gate, Hu Mingchen found a flat place, spread an old cloth the size of a tabletop, and the cards in his schoolbag were poured on the cloth.
At the beginning, Hu Mingchen's small booth was unattended, except for Gu Xiaoqi and two or three of them who were waiting next to him, there was not even a single student who asked, even if everyone passed by in front of them, they hurried away at a glance, which made Hu Mingchen's heart go up and down.
This time it can be seen that Hu Mingchen is recklessly invested, if the fire is extinguished like this, then Hu Mingchen probably can't find a place to cry.
"Xiao Chen, is this the goods you take? are they just these small cards?" Just when Hu Mingchen was staring at those food stalls, envious of the three floors in the other business, Hu Yandie led Hu Yujiao to the front.
"Sister...... Well, that's what I was taking. The cold business made Hu Mingchen lack confidence in the face of Hu Yandie.
"Can this thing be sold to make money?" brother, I'm afraid you weren't deceived, right?" asked Hu Yujiao suspiciously.
