The first pot of gold in life
Time was pressing, Forrest Gump didn't go anywhere for the past two days, leaving all the time to the old mother. The old mother was very happy to hear his story, especially when it came to Xiaoli. But what makes the old lady happy is not that her son will empathize with her in the future, but that she doesn't have to worry about her future daughter-in-law at all. As for her son's entrepreneurship, the old lady didn't ask much, and she didn't understand when she asked, but she told Forrest Gump the truth about his 180,000 family background, and she hoped that he could use it carefully.
Before leaving, Forrest Gump brought a bottle of his father's favorite wine, went to his old man's grave, and poured everything in his heart to his father, including who he likes now.
On the afternoon of the third day, Forrest Gump returned to the provincial capital as promised, and tomorrow at twelve o'clock in the morning is the time to open the temple gate, and the early morning of the first day will definitely be crowded. So after returning home and eating a simple bite of dry food, I and Xiaoli found a Jinbei nearby and pulled everything over.
made a call to the number left by Uncle Kui, and the two parties made an appointment to meet at the gate of Yaowang Temple.
The other party is a glasses beauty under the age of thirty, saying that it is Mr. Zhang's secretary.
"Hello, you are Mr. Zhang's nephew Forrest Gump?" The glasses woman asked.
"Hello, yes. Uncle Kui didn't come today?" Forrest Gump replied politely.
"Mr. Zhang is busy with other things, I will be responsible for it from now on, if you need anything, just call me." ”
"Thank you, sister, that, where do we put it?"
"That's it, you can put it next to the nearest position at the entrance of the temple, and Mr. Zhang specially ordered to leave five meters for you. ”
"Ah, that's it, at the entrance of the temple?" the two of them were stunned when they heard this.
"That's right! This is also a commercial area! It's just that the price here is more expensive than that of ordinary areas, and the people who can put it here are generally related households. ”
"How much is a meter?" asked Xiaoli.
"Two thousand five, but Mr. Zhang said that he would only charge you five hundred, which is the same as the price in the ordinary area over there. ”。
As soon as the glasses girl's voice fell, Forrest Gump took out a small pile of red tickets, and directly counted two thousand five and handed it to the glasses girl.
"Then I'll accept it unceremoniously," the glasses woman smiled and took the money.
"Yes, yes, I have to thank you!".
"You should thank Mr. Zhang, and I also do things for him. Well, if there's nothing to do, I'll be busy with something else first, and I need to call the two of you at any time. ”
After the glasses woman left, the two beckoned the driver to drive the car over, and the driver was a warm-hearted person, helping from the beginning of unloading to the end of the stall. Forrest Gump was also bold, and before leaving, he threw 300 yuan to the eldest brother, which was twice the price negotiated, if nothing else, the master was happy today.
The stalls next to them also began to stand up one after another, and when they saw that the best position was occupied by the two young people, their eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred. But everyone knows in their hearts that they can already burn incense and worship their ancestors if they can get a stall here, these two young people are definitely not ordinary people can climb high, this may mean which of the children of the leaders above have experienced life, and they can't afford to provoke them.
The temple gate has not opened today, so there are no customers on the road except for the people who are busy setting up stalls. But Forrest Gump's shoes are not sold less today, but all the stalls around them, each family came over to consume a handful, and some even brought a pair to the whole family, and many people left Forrest Gump's mobile phone number. Forrest Gump and Xiaoli, who have just entered the society, did not see what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of these people, and even felt that they had a vision and the products were eye-catching.
12 A pair of slippers sells for 29, 15 a pair of espadrilles sells for 35, and 40 pairs of high heels sells for 85. This price is set by Xiaoli, because Forrest Gump rarely buys daily necessities by himself, let alone shopping, even if it is a pair of cheap stall shoes, he can wear them for at least three years.
In this afternoon's work, the two of them sold a turnover of 3,000 yuan, which made the two of them happy, and even gave the name of the chain store in the future.
For reasons of inexperience, the two of them forgot to buy a bib, and if they didn't fence up the shoe stall this night, how many shoes would they have to lose tomorrow. Now it's almost dark, and it's obviously too late to go to the market to buy it, there is no way, after some discussion, Forrest Gump stayed to keep vigil, and Xiaoli was responsible for going home to get the bedding.
The street vendors near Forrest Gump are basically from other provinces, they belong to the professional temple fairs of the traders, the two of them live outside all the year round, where there is a temple fair, they run to wherever they go, eating, drinking and sleeping in the car.
At dinner, Forrest Gump received many invitations from vendors, but he politely declined, and finally chose to eat at his neighbor's place. The neighbors are authentic southerners, and they treat Forrest Gump with enthusiasm, and the female protagonist specially fried a few dishes that Forrest Gump likes to eat, and the male protagonist deliberately took out a bottle of reserve wine from a wooden box. When the husband and wife learned from Forrest Gump's mouth that they were Zhang Kui's nephews, they were excited, as if they had obtained some rare treasure.
"Hey, this one is not an ordinary person, and this nephew is even more talented. The woman complimented.
"It's ok, it's okay. Forrest Gump said modestly. I thought that this has something to do is different, not only is it easy to do things, but it can also be flattered.
Full of wine and food, Ah Fan returned to his stall after a polite conversation with the husband and wife.
Looking at the colorful shoes in front of him through the light, Forrest Gump was full of morale in his heart, thinking that it was so easy to make money, and the money he earned this afternoon was more than his previous month's salary, he was very glad that he could come to the provincial capital, and he was also very grateful to Mona, Xiaoli, and Uncle Kui.
In other words, in today's society, as long as someone pulls you above, pigs can fly. Because most of the passenger flow is from other provinces to enter the temple to burn incense, the traffic law stipulates that you can't wear slippers while driving, plus the weather is also hot, Forrest Gump's shoe stall is like a well in the desert for these people, and the location is just the only entrance and exit of the Yaowang Temple.
Selling shoes is also a slightly tedious job, you need to fit the feet to be the most comfortable, the two of them are dealing with the broken code goods, there are more people, the two of them are busy dizzy.
On the first day, the two of them worked until more than nine o'clock in the evening, counting the money, more than 7,500. Forrest Gump held the money box and thought that if he worked for a year and a half, he would not be able to make a fortune, and the future was really promising!
The next day, more than five thousand two hundred.
On the third day, more than four thousand seven hundred.
On the fourth day, the espadrilles didn't sell a few pairs, but the slippers were out of stock. Just in time for Mona to be off work today, I came over with Xiaoli early in the morning to help look at the stall, and Forrest Gump went to replenish the stock.
When he arrived at the mall, Forrest Gump went straight to the slipper shop, and the boss was dumbfounded when he saw Forrest Gump, thinking that this kid was looking for him to return the goods, if it weren't for Forrest Gump waving to him from afar, he would probably have been hiding.
After expressing his intention to the boss, the boss's eyes widened like light bulbs.
"Young man, where did you go to set up a stall and sell it so fast?
"At the gate of the Yaowang Temple! Thanks to the boss's good products!
The boss of the temple fair knew about it, but when he heard that Forrest Gump's stall was placed directly at the entrance of the temple, the boss silently gave a thumbs up, and silently recited in his heart ().
"That's it, young man, since your business is so good, and I don't have many shoes to deal with outside, don't pick them, let's estimate the price! These shoes must add up to a thousand pairs, you are like this, 10,000 yuan, you take them all, how about it? It's a good deal! How to sell and how to make money. ”
"Okay", seeing that the boss was happy, Forrest Gumpo responded without thinking about it.
After going to buy some high heels, the owner of the slipper shop drove someone to bring the goods back to Forrest Gump.
At this time, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was the most poisonous time of the day, and there were fewer people shopping, so the two of them drove the car to the gate of the temple smoothly.
Today's trading is much worse than in the past, and I don't know if there are fewer people or a shortage of goods, but it's all at this point, and the turnover is less than two thousand.
The clever Xiaoli gave an idea to deal with it at a lower price. Slippers are the best to sell, less dropped, 19 a pair; canvas shoes are the worst, from the previous 35 directly down to 18; high heels are the most expensive, so you have to use it to pull back some profits, a pair of up to 125.
After some adjustments, Xiaoli and Mona began to work hard, standing in front of the stall and shouting. Don't say it, Xiaoli is really a talent not to do business, and the turnover this afternoon has skyrocketed several times compared with the first half of the day. Tourists treat slippers as free as canvas shoes, and it's a crazy rush.
Seven days passed quickly, and in addition to some small daily expenses, Forrest Gump's capital in his hand rose from 20,000 yuan at the beginning to more than 50,000 yuan, and there was still a bunch of unsold shoes left.
The first pot of gold in his life came in so easily, which is good or bad for a teenager who has just entered society. Fortunately, it was smooth sailing at the beginning, so that the teenager had a foundation for his own ability and confidence in the future. But the bad thing is that it's too smooth sailing, life itself is a roller coaster, and there is no eternal success. If there is no failure to pave the way, you can't hone a firm belief and the spirit of Xiaoqiang, the road in the future will make people win but can't afford to lose, once you fail once, it's easy to collapse. Business itself is a heavenly book, no one can read it, and can only rely on their own understanding to understand it slowly. Even failure is not necessarily a bad thing, but can make people more clearly understand their own shortcomings and deficiencies, so as to repeatedly improve, this is called experience, the deeper the experience, the more mature and stable people are, and the probability of success can be greatly increased.
As for how Forrest Gump uses this pot of gold, it can only depend on his own creation......
