Chapter 35: Business is Picking Up
If it is with someone else's family, Hu Mingchen doesn't need to write anything, but with the second family, he still thinks that it is better to write clearly in black and white, if he doesn't write clearly, it is unknown how the eighty yuan will be counted in the future.
Although his education level has only reached junior high school, it is enough to write a simple sales agreement.
The three hundred and twenty yuan was in his hands, and Hu Mingchen didn't keep any of it, and gave it all to the third uncle.
Hu Mingchen asked Hu Jianqiang to go to Jiuzhou to pick up his parents, but Hu Jianqiang did not refuse, and asked the owner of the car repair shop for a few days off, so he happily went.
Hu Jianqiang went to Jiuzhou to help pick up his parents, and Hu Mingchen himself went to Liangcheng to enter the goods he had negotiated with Wang Zhan before.
The previous card was not too good for Hu Mingchen's business, but after two weeks, Hu Mingchen still made some money, and his capital has changed from the initial seventy or eighty yuan to nearly two hundred.
This time when he entered Liangcheng, Hu Mingchen would throw all the money into it, in addition to the five thousand low-priced cards that had been set in advance, he would also take some of the slightly more expensive ones that are currently being sold. High and low matching, if one doesn't work, there is also a kind of support.
"Xiaohu, you take so many low-cost inferior cards at once, the risk is not small, if you don't have a little doll to like it, you will lose a lot. After Wang Zhan helped Hu Mingchen pack those cards, he couldn't help but remind kindly.
"Boss Wang, if I don't take 5,000 tickets, and your upstream won't help me do it, you say yes? Hehe, do I have any other choice now? I can only break the kettle and sink the boat, and the dead horse will be a live horse doctor, even if it is a loss, it will be a big deal when I did it for two weeks before." Hu Mingchen was under pressure, but he could still laugh, and he even joked with Wang Zhan.
"Yes, that's right, don't look at your young age, I really admire your courage and courage. Do a good job, you are like this at a young age, and the future will be promising. ”
"Hehe, I also think I have a bright future, anyway, pie won't fall from the sky, I have to fight when it's time to fight. Boss Wang, look, there are dozens of catties here, can you help me and screw them to the door of the wholesale market, and I will find a car to pull them to the bus station. Hu Mingchen said shamelessly.
"Hehe, you...... Okay, I make less money from you, and I have to help you be a coolie, who told me to feel like I fell in love with you, I'll take the big bag, and the small bag, you hugged it yourself. ”
This weekend, in order to save money, Hu Mingchen still took Hu Youling's cheap car, but this time there were more people, Hu Mingchen did not get a seat, the goods were placed on the roof of the car, and he himself was arranged by Hu Youling to sit on the hood next to the driver.
When the shuttle bus arrived on Duge Street, Hu Mingchen moved all the cards back to the hut he rented.
In order to meet the challenge, Hu Mingchen not only decorated his hut, but also prepared to write a few big-character posters and post them outside the wall as advertisements.
The next day, Sunday, Hu Mingchen took some cards and went to the dojo to sell.
On the day of the rush, the streets of Duge Township were indeed very lively, not only people from the surrounding villages would come, but even some villagers from neighboring towns would come. Some people sell their own agricultural products, some buy daily necessities, and many people who specialize in buying and selling around will come to buy and sell or check the market.
Hu Mingchen occupied a good position in the center of the street early in the morning, but the so-called good position is for others, and his good position is occupied, but it is useless.
Next to Hu Mingchen, either selling clothes, hats, shoes and socks or kitchen knives and soaps, the people who come to this place to buy things have a strong purpose, and they are definitely adults.
Even if some adults bring their children with them, adults are not very likely to give children the space to choose.
So the crowd in front of him rubbed shoulders, but few people stopped at his small stall, and in the eyes of those people, he was like a transparent person. Even if a few people will look at him, it is just curious that his boss is a little doll.
"Young man, you have taken a good position for nothing, these things of yours, then you have to sell them at the school gate, and bring them to the street, who will pay attention to them." A female stall owner who sold needlework, soap, and other groceries next to her saw that Hu Mingchen had not opened for two hours, and said to him kindly.
Hu Mingchen, who was sitting on the ground stupidly, basking in the sun and watching people come and go, actually felt that his choice was wrong.
He had never taken anything to the market to sell before, and he always felt that there were many people here, and it should have a good effect, but he did not carefully analyze the categories and tendencies of consumption, and did not study the suitability of channels and channels.
"Hello, you're right, I'm just giving it a try, forget it, it's no effect, I won't put it on the table. Saying that, Hu Mingchen really stood up and closed the stall.
Carrying things, he ate a bowl of cold noodles at a cold powder stall to satisfy his hunger, and Hu Mingchen went back depressed.
I thought that a bad start on the day would cast a shadow on the sales of this batch of goods, but who knows, it is not the same thing at all.
On Monday, when Hu Mingchen brought this small card, which was so cheap that I could buy one in a minute, that it immediately caused a wave in the class.
The quality of this kind of card is not good, but it can't stop him from being cheap, so to speak, as long as the children with money can afford it.
The kind of expensive cards that Hu Mingchen sold before have cultivated some students who play cards, but because they are expensive, those students who play don't buy much, and some of them actually want to play, but they can't afford it at all. The kind of students who can come up with a few cents a dollar at any time are really a minority. Some students may have a dime or two on them, but that money can't be bought with a card.
Another point is that this cheap card is simple to play, without any knowledge content, as long as it is placed on the table or on the ground, whoever uses the hand fan to reverse can win, it can be said that everyone can play, everyone can play.
Therefore, as soon as Hu Mingchen's card arrived in the classroom, after each of his three friends received ten cards, after a little simple publicity by them, the students rushed to buy Hu Mingchen.
The least buy one, and the most students buy a dozen or twenty.
This kind of card allows students who are well-off to mingle with those who are not so well-off. Some classmates may not have much money, but as long as they have a card like this, they are very likely to win a lot with their skills.
In other words, the number of such cards on the students does not reflect their real economic strength, but more reflects their technical situation.
In just three recess exercises, Hu Mingchen sold more than 100 cards in the class. And with the popularity and spread of the game, there are more and more students who are interested in buying and willing to buy this kind of card.
After school at noon, Hu Mingchen no longer had a stall on the ground at the school gate, and his sales base became the cottage he rented.
When the family built this side house, they should have considered doing business and opening a shop, and they opened a small window on the wall facing the road, embedded steel bars, and installed wooden boards. Now this window happens to be used by Hu Mingchen, and his choice of this side room has nothing to do with its presence in this window.
Hu Mingchen rushed to the store, removed the wooden planks from the windows, posted the big-character posters prepared in advance, and then arranged all the cards, waiting for the customers to come to the door to choose.
What made Hu Mingchen speechless was that Gu Xiaoqi and the three guys didn't help Hu Mingchen this time, as soon as school ended, several people were busy finding a flat ground to play with each other, not only the three of them, but almost all the boys in the second class of the third grade joined the "battle situation".
However, they also have an advantage in this way, that is, to create demand for Hu Mingchen, and those students who lose will come to Hu Mingchen to buy a few to "move the book". Anyway, it's only five cents a piece, and most people can afford it, and the key depends on whether they use the money to buy food or use it to buy cards to play.
If it is a girl, it is more likely to buy something to eat, and if it is a boy, maybe she would rather go hungry.
As soon as Hu Mingchen opened the door, there was an endless stream of students looking for him to buy cards, not to mention that everyone was a dime or two, and even five cents. But in business, what I want to see most is this kind of lively scene, a single student does not buy much, but the total amount is not small.
At noon, Hu Mingchen sold hundreds of pieces, and the small box specially used to hold change had been filled with bits and pieces of change.
"Xiao Chen, why is your business so good, there are many people who buy it. When class was about to start in the afternoon, Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao came to Hu Mingchen's store.
"Hehe, of course, I'm doing business, can it be bad? Have you eaten? There is money in the box, take it and eat it casually. When business is good, Hu Mingchen is in a happy mood and full of smiles when he speaks.
"Brother, then I'll take two cents. Hu Yujiao saw that the change in the small box was almost full, and she reached out to get it.
"Xiaojiao, what are you doing with the money? That's your brother's capital, and he still has to use it to buy goods, didn't he buy something for you to eat just now?" Hu Yandie grabbed Hu Yujiao's hand.
"Sister, look at what you said, let her take it, what's the matter, all this money is earned, this money is earned, and it is for you to spend. Xiaojiao took it and bought ice cream to eat by herself after school in the afternoon. Hu Mingchen grabbed seven or eight cents of change and stuffed it into Hu Yujiao's hand.
"You don't have to take so much, you don't have to take so much. Hu Yandie took the money in Hu Yujiao's hand, leaving only a dime for her, and put the rest back into Hu Mingchen's box, "If you earn some money, you can't spend it casually, Mom and Dad are coming back, and there will be more places to spend money at that time." ”
As soon as Hu Yandie mentioned her parents who were about to come back, Hu Mingchen was silent and no longer insisted.
What my sister said is right, as soon as my parents come back, they should have no money on them, and the burden of supporting the family will depend on Hu Mingchen.
