The next day, with the help of Hu Yandie, Hu Mingchen took all the cards to the school. Only this time he only brought a few into the classroom, and the rest was put in the rented cabin.

Since then, the cottage has become the base of origin for Hu Mingchen's business.

In the next few days, Hu Mingchen used his recess time to sell cards when he went to school, and at noon he went to a rented hut to sell them. His three good friends Luo Zhizheng, Mao Feng and Gu Xiaoqi helped him a lot, they played card games with people while asking people to buy them from Hu Mingchen.

Despite this, Hu Mingchen's card business is tepid. Say it's bad, you can still sell some every day, and it's no problem to make a dozen yuan. But it's good, it's not enough, at least there is no rush to buy it.

Fortunately, on Friday, Hu Mingchen's card was still bought.

On Saturday, Hu Mingchen went into the city again to buy goods.

Hu Jianqiang didn't come back this week, and Hu Mingchen went out alone.

Fortunately, Hu Mingchen's three sons on Saturday are on the morning bus, and Hu Mingchen can take her car and come back in the afternoon.

"Xiao Chen, are you going to the city to buy goods and do business? I heard you right?" Hu Mingchen wanted to take a car into the city, so he naturally had to give Hu Youling, the third son, an explanation and reason, but Hu Youling reacted a little bit after hearing it.

Not to mention Hu Youling, no matter who listens, it is impossible to remain calm.

"Sanxiao, you heard it right, I've been doing it for a week, last week it was the third uncle who accompanied me into the city, and now that the goods are sold out, I naturally need to go into the city to replenish the goods, and I will take your car back in the afternoon." Hu Mingchen said with a smile.

"You...... What kind of business are you doing? You didn't lose money?" Hu Youling felt a little incredible.

"Of course I didn't lose anything, what else did I replenish if I lost it, I made a little money, hehe. ”

"You can do it...... It's amazing, then you can take this car, if the seats are sold out in a while, you will sit in my place, if it is not sold out, you can find a place to sit at will, no need to buy a ticket. ”

"If I don't buy a ticket, will your boss have an idea or opinion? Hu Mingchen tried to ask.

Even if he has no money, Hu Mingchen doesn't want to cause trouble to the three children. If she was embarrassed by a few dollars, Hu Mingchen felt that it was not worth it.

"It's okay, it's okay, this little thing doesn't matter, you can sit in my seat in front of you for a while. By the way, do you have any news from your mom and dad?"

As soon as the news of his parents was mentioned, Hu Mingchen looked worried and lost. There has been no news about this, it is always a very worrying thing, and the three sisters of Hu Mingchen's family have always been worried in their hearts.

It's just that no matter how worried he is, he doesn't have a problem, it's too far away, and it's not easy to inquire. It is impossible for Hu Mingchen to chase after him, and even if he goes, it will be difficult for him to find a place.

"Not yet, before I left, I asked my mother to send a message back anyway, but still no news. Hu Mingchen said in a low voice.

"You don't have to worry too much, you haven't heard from you yet, maybe it's not too bad. Today and tomorrow, I'll ask someone about it. Hu Youling said with relief.

Hu Youling is also worried about this question, after all, Hu Jianjun is her second brother.

Hu Mingchen made some money, but he didn't give it to Hu Yandie, this time he brought it all with him, and he planned to buy more goods this time.

The original cost is not much, if a part of it is divided, it will affect the purchase and profit.

"Young man, how are you doing again?

After getting off the bus at Liangcheng Bus Station, Hu Mingchen did not ask Hu Youling to accompany him, but chose to go to the wholesale market by himself. The boss who took the goods last time greeted Hu Mingchen enthusiastically from the store as soon as he saw him.

It's really too rare for a wholesaler as small as Hu Mingchen not to be impressed, so the boss recognized Hu Mingchen at a glance.

"yes, it's selling pretty much, so let's buy some more. Boss, let's be honest, I said I'll come to you in the future, I didn't go to another house. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, come in and drink a glass of water first, it's a little hot today, you can take it and sell it, I'm also happy, come, sit down first." The boss invited Hu Mingchen to sit down at a small table in the innermost.

Hu Mingchen was indeed a little thirsty, after getting in the car, he had never drunk water, and Hu Mingchen gladly accepted the enthusiasm of the boss.

After drinking water and chatting for a few minutes of gossip, Hu Mingchen knew that the boss's surname was Wang, his name was Wang Zhan, and he was from another province, but he had been in Liangcheng for more than ten years, and the local dialect was quite authentic.

"Xiaohu, how many goods are you going to take this time? Hu Mingchen knew that his name was Wang Zhan, and people naturally knew his name.

"Boss Wang, last time I remember you said that there is a kind of paper card for three cents, I am not ......"

"Hahaha, don't you say I almost forgot, you asked me to help you get some samples, I brought them, you wait a minute, I'll turn it out and show you. Before Hu Mingchen's words were finished, Wang Zhan knew what he meant.

Wang Zhan turned around and quickly took out twenty or thirty small cards from an old cardboard box and placed them in front of Hu Mingchen.

"You see, this is the kind of thing, a few years ago, this kind of sales were quite popular, but in the past two years, there have been fewer people in the city. ”

Hu Mingchen picked up those cards and put them in the palm of his hand to look at them.

This kind of card is indeed worse than the one he took before, the pattern is more blurry, not to mention, the hardness is still very soft, similar to the ordinary document bag. Because of this, the price becomes three cents a piece.

"Boss Wang, this kind of card looks very monotonous. ”

"Yes, it's really a lot monotonous, it's just a little doll to fan on the ground, you win mine and I win yours. Other than that, there is no other function. Wang Zhan said.

"Boss Wang, is the price only three points?" Hu Mingchen asked thoughtfully.

"To tell you the truth, the manufacturer gave me two cents and one piece, everyone doesn't do this thing now, and the profit is too thin, and it only makes a few cents by selling a hundred pieces, so we don't like to sell, and the manufacturers who do this are gradually decreasing. Wang Zhan said with a frown.

"Boss Wang, thank you for telling me the truth, you see if this will work, you give me two and a half cents, and you earn four cents. Hu Mingchen thought for a while and said.

"Four-cents...... Are you going to take this? I'm telling you, this one doesn't have a big deal, it doesn't make much money. It's not easy to sell, and now there are few children playing with this. Moreover, the quantity is small, and the manufacturers are not necessarily willing to do it. Wang Zhan didn't seem to be very happy.

It's no wonder that Wang Zhanzhan has such an attitude, even if Hu Mingchen takes a thousand pieces, his profit is only four yuan, and two thousand pieces are only eight yuan, which is indeed a thankless job.

As a businessman, the pursuit of profit maximization is the most basic. Although Wang Zhan's business is not big, it is indeed difficult to impress him with a profit of a few yuan.

"Boss Wang, if you think it's okay, I'll ask for five thousand next time, how about it? In order not to let Wang Zhan decide, Hu Mingchen gritted his teeth and said.

"5,000 copies? You're going to get 5,000 next time? 5,000 copies are hard to sell." As soon as he heard about the number of five thousand, Wang Zhan was a little surprised.

"It doesn't matter, I'm willing to gamble, it's only 5,000 tickets, but my capital is not enough, otherwise I can ask for 10,000 tickets. How, if you agree, I'll give you a deposit, which can be regarded as a favor for me. Hu Mingchen said solemnly and resolutely.

Hu Mingchen is really gambling, and it is the kind of gambling that is out of the way.

The cards I took before were good, but for the consumption level of Duge Township, the price was indeed high, which made Hu Mingchen's daily sales very limited.

This kind of low-quality card is poor, but it is cheaper, if Hu Mingchen sells it for five cents a piece, then almost everyone can afford it.

Another point is that the function of this kind of card is to win, Hu Mingchen knows the child's heart very well, if there is a little bit of gambling color, it may be more able to attract children's desire. If someone loses, they will find a way to buy new ones to win back the ones they lose, just like playing marbles, not to mention that some boys will buy dozens of them, even some girls are brought in.

Hu Mingchen is betting that he will take these cheap and low-cost cards, which can create a wave of new ways of playing and new entertainment among children in Duge Township, as long as this trend rises, let alone 5,000, it is 50,000.

"Are you sure you want to get at least 5,000 cards at a time? Do you really want to get this kind of low-cost, low-quality card?"

"I'm sure. Hu Mingchen nodded firmly.

"Okay, then I'll tell the manufacturer, let them get you a batch, and you can give me a deposit of ten yuan in a while." Wang Zhan calculated that 5,000 pieces would earn at least 20 yuan, and he valued Hu Mingchen's courage more, so he decided to help him.

"Boss Wang, let me say one more thing, I hope that the kind of card I want, you don't sell it to other people, even if you sell it, the price can't be less than three or a half. After Wang Zhan agreed, Hu Mingchen groaned a little and added.

"Why?" Wang Zhan was very curious about Hu Mingchen's request.

"I can't say it for the time being, you'll know later, you have to promise me anyway. Hu Mingchen was pretentious and did not explain.

"Okay, I promise you, no one else will get into this kind of thing anyway, except for you. Wang Zhan couldn't understand Hu Mingchen's thoughts, but he still readily agreed to him.

After making an appointment with Wang Zhan and asking for a phone number in his store, Hu Mingchen began to choose the goods to be taken this time.

There are very few private telephones in Dug Township, but there are two or three shops on the street with payphones. When the time comes, Hu Mingchen can use the public phone to contact Wang Zhan.

In addition to the ten-yuan deposit given to Wang Zhan, this time Hu Mingchen took more than 600 pieces of goods.
