167 Xingshi
The reason for my jealousy, of course, is that I have made money.
In fact, when I started selling clothes at the night market, I thought about not having disputes with my peers.
So the place where I set up my stall, just north of the night market, is not a prime location.
Because in the prime location, there are already people occupying it.
I used to join in the fun, just to steal people's jobs.
In that case, even if there is no conflict on the surface, it will be hurt by hidden arrows.
Harmony is the original intention of my business.
But as my business got better and better, there were more and more repeat customers.
As a result, the location, which was not a prime location, has gradually become the most popular place to sell clothes in the night market.
Even the businesses of the stalls around me, such as those selling milk tea, hot and sour noodles, and spicy hot, have also improved.
These stall owners are very grateful to me.
But the stall owner who used to sell clothes in other places saw me unpleasant.
That night, the stall had been closed, and I was packing up with Chun Tao when I saw two women walking towards me.
One is very fat and has wavy yellow hair.
The other is slimmer and wears heavy makeup.
At this time, it was already night, and in the moonlight, because the foundation applied to the face was too thick, the face looked pale and pale, and it was a little oozing.
I know both of these women, fat people call her Sister Wu, and thin people call her Xiaoyu.
They all sell clothes at the night market.
The business is also the best two before.
When I was doing market research before, I used to visit their stalls.
Both of these are also celebrities at the night market.
Sister Wu has always been known for being spicy. Let's put it this way, few of these stall owners at the night market have not quarreled with her.
Xiaoyu, on the other hand, is known for being coquettish.
Many men have mysteriously said after drinking that they had a leg with Xiaoyu.
But I didn't deal directly with either of them.
......
"Sister, business is good, isn't it?" Xiaoyu greeted me with a smile.
The sound was so loud that it gave me goosebumps.
"It's okay. "I buried my head in the clothes from the stall and put them in the cardboard box next to me.
"Wait!"
Sister Wu stopped my movements, and then took out a beige windbreaker from the cardboard box.
This is a piece of clothing from high-imitation Dior, and the price of the original product is more than 7,000.
"How much do you sell this?" Sister Wu asked me.
"Sell 360. I replied.
......
When I first started my business, I was worried that the business would not be good because I didn't have enough money in hand, so I bought the cheapest clothes.
The purchase price is dozens of dollars, and the selling price rarely exceeds 100.
It is the road of small profits and quick turnover.
But then, business got better and better, so I slowly bought more expensive clothes as well.
In this way, the profit can also be a little higher.
For example, this high-imitation Dior trench coat has a purchase price of 270, and I sell it for 360.
I can earn 90 by selling one piece, and I'm already very satisfied.
......
"360? sister, you're not doing this authentically!" Sister Wu asked with a sneer.
"Yes, we also have the same clothes there, we sell them for 880 yuan, you sell them for 360 yuan, don't you mean to dismantle us? Who still buys our things? They all come to you! Everyone comes out to do business, look up and don't look down, you are breaking the rules by doing this. Xiao Yu said in a weird way.
"Who said no, you eat meat, you have to let us drink soup! What are you doing now? You have robbed all your business by yourself, and let us drink the northwest wind? Then our business is yellow, and you alone occupy the clothing business of the entire night market? Think beautifully! My sister Wu is the first to refuse!" Sister Wu said angrily.
As he spoke, he rolled his arms and sleeves, as if he was going to do it.
It turned out that he came to Xingshi to ask about sins and look for trouble?
I knew it in my heart.
I've heard a saying before that only peers are naked hatred.
It seems that this sentence is really true at all.
Peers are really enemies.
Originally, Sister Wu and Xiaoyu's clothing business was the best in the night market, but now I have become the best business in the night market.
Naturally, they were upset.
But I don't think their upset is justified at all.
Everyone is out to do business, and whose business is good depends on their own ability.
See who can attract customers.
I didn't go to your booth to make trouble, so why did you come to me to make trouble?
As for the rules in their mouths, they are even more nonsense.
Even if the purchase price is the same, it is up to the stall owner to decide how much to sell.
There has never been such a thing as a mandatory.
So 270 clothes, I am willing to sell 360, I am willing to sell 3600, I am willing to sell as a genuine product for seven or eight thousand.
Of course, I just sell it for 50 yuan, and I can make money at a loss.
Just like Sister Wu and Xiaoyu, they are willing to sell 880 for one piece, which is also their freedom and rights.
As long as the customer is willing to pay for it, there is no problem.
If the customer doesn't buy, it proves that your pricing strategy is wrong, and it will naturally have to be adjusted.
For example, I say that I sell 360, but sometimes the weather is bad and there are few customers, and I have sold several pieces of 330.
Instead of running to me like Xiaoyu and Sister Wu, accusing me of selling clothes cheaply and affecting their business.
In fact, it's not that I'm selling cheaply, it's that they're selling too expensive.
Customers are not stupid.
Naturally, you know where to buy cheap.
......
So I said, "Are you two mistaken? I bought the clothes, and it's my own business to set the price, and no one told me how much I should sell, and I don't need anyone to tell me how much to sell." Take this dress as an example, you can sell it for 360 pieces, or even you can sell it for 300 pieces, and it has nothing to do with me. β
When Sister Wu heard this, her eyes widened: "Qiao Huanxi, aren't you? Are you pretending to be confused with understanding! Who doesn't do business to make money? Who wants to earn less if you can earn more? In this night market, we come out early, so naturally we have to follow our rules! I warn you, either you set the price of your clothes to the same price as us, or you will get me out of the night market!"
Sister Wu pointed to my nose and said arrogantly.
My eyes widened.
Forcing me to set the same price as you? Or get out of the night market?
You're bullying.
When I first started my business, I was told that business is all about fooling.
But I won't fool, I can't say that dozens of dollars of clothes look like a world famous brand.
It's not that I don't have words, it's that I can't open my mouth like that.
I don't want to fool the buyers with shoddy products.
Then they bought it back and found that the goods were not right, and they came to me for trouble.
So when selling clothes, they always say ugly things in front.
You get what you pay for, you spend such money, it's such quality.
Don't expect too much.
It can't be genuine, it's imitation.
The price is a little higher, and the imitation is more like.
The price is cheap, and the imitation is not distracted.
You can just buy it back and wear it and play around.
Don't take it seriously.
And the customer is not an idiot, what a genuine product looks like, what the approximate price is, in fact, everyone knows it in their hearts.
So when they came to the night market to buy things, they didn't plan to buy genuine products, but to buy good quality.
So my honesty, in their eyes, they think I'm reliable.
Instead of slashing down from an inflated price with other vendors, wasting time and saliva.
It's better to buy me these price transparent.
It can be said that this way of doing business is my biggest support.
That's why I can make money.
I believe in it and keep it up.
Now, of course, it won't change because of the words of these few inconsequential people.
So I looked up, looked at Sister Wu and Xiaoyu, and said very seriously: "Everyone is out to do business, and it's not easy to get up early and be greedy for darkness." I don't want to bully people, and I don't want to be bullied. So you do your business, I do my business, isn't it good that everyone's well water doesn't interfere with river water? Please show respect, I won't be at your mercy, and I won't leave the night market. β
I've made it very clear.
But apparently, neither of the two women on the other side listened.
I saw Sister Wu open her mouth, and she was about to speak again.
After a long night of hard work, I was already very tired.
I really don't want to spend any more saliva with her and do this kind of meaningless quarrel.
So I stopped Sister Wu's words: "If you want to say anything ugly, I advise you not to say it, you may have some misunderstanding about me, I am not a good bully, in fact, I have a big temper, if you insist on making trouble with me, I think you will be the last trouble." β
I promise, I'm speaking from the heart.
I've never been a good man.
Ever since I escaped from that small mountain village, I have vowed that I will never look at other people's faces again in this life, and I will never be enslaved by others again.
I don't just think so, I do it too.
My husband who is now dead, my mother-in-law who is in prison, and my brother who is an idiot all prove my mind and means.
So I certainly didn't take these two women to heart.
I'm also sure that they fight me, and they must be the ones who get hurt in the end.
I remembered when I was a nanny before, Xiaoqin and Haixia and the gang.
It was also because of the so-called "rules" that came to me for trouble.
Accusing me of not following the "yin and yang vegetable prices" they set when buying vegetables.
In fact, it is very similar to what Sister Wu and Xiaoyu are looking for me today.
But the result?
As a result, Xiaoqin and Haixia's gang fell apart and failed.
It's a pity, people are always like this, they don't die until they don't reach the Yellow River, they don't hit the south wall and don't look back.
When Sister Wu and Xiaoyu heard my heartfelt words, they were not vigilant at all, but laughed out loud.
Sister Wu crossed her hands on her hips: "Hehe, Qiao Huanxi, are you pretending to be with me? I warn you, don't think that we are joking with you, we don't have that patience! If you sincerely go against us, we will let you have no place in the night market, do you believe it or not?"
Probably to show the strength of their threat.
Sister Wu forcefully knocked down the cardboard boxes containing our clothes.
The inside was already folded, and the dozen or so clothes that were packed in it were thrown out.
Fell to the ground.
Sister Wu also contemptuously went over to a piece of clothing and stepped on it several times with her foot.
It was a white shirt.
Now it was imprinted with several dirty footprints.
Chun Tao was also packing up.
I haven't made a sound before, but now when I see this scene, I suddenly feel a little anxious.
"Why are you unreasonable......
She rushed up to reason with Sister Wu.
was pushed hard by Xiaoyu on the side.
"This is talking to your boss, you give me honesty!"
Chun Tao is an honest child.
I had never seen such a scene, and I was immediately a little scared.
Shrunk back.
I didn't quarrel.
Instead, he began to crouch down, one by one, and picked up the clothes that had been scattered on the ground again.
Seeing me like this, Chun Tao also picked it up together.
I saw that the little girl's eyes were red, which was aggrieved.
......
After all, Chun Tao is still not deeply involved in the world.
I haven't been beaten by much society.
So because of this little thing, I was wronged, and I shed tears.
I thought to myself.
Not long after Chun Tao came out to wander in society, she met me, and then did business under my care, so she didn't experience so many ups and downs, and she didn't suffer so many losses, so she lacked at least social experience.
Far less mature than I am.
I don't have as much social experience as I have.
And I'm not much older than Chun Tao.
So from this point of view, in fact, Chun Tao is still very lucky.
At a young age, every child wants to grow up quickly.
It seems that when you grow up, you can make your own decisions, and you will no longer have any difficulties, be free, and will not be controlled by others.
But only when you really grow up can you know that the world of adults is not so beautiful.
Being free and having no one to care about you often means that no one will be responsible for you and give you shelter.
A lot of people are forced to grow up.
It's to wipe away your tears and say to yourself, well, you have no one to rely on.
So grow up and be kind to yourself, or no one will treat you well.
......
I packed up my clothes and handed them to Chun Tao.
Signal her not to be afraid, I am here.
Then I stood up.
Holding the white shirt that was deliberately stepped on by Sister Wu.
"This dress costs 80, and I usually sell it for 120. Since everyone is a peer, I don't earn a penny from you, you just take 80 yuan. β
Sister Wu obviously didn't expect that I would react like this.
I wasn't noisy, I wasn't scared.
But it just made her lose money for her clothes.
I was stunned at first.
Then he immediately laughed: "Hahaha, you are really naΓ―ve! The old lady is here to make trouble for you now, how can she lose your clothes money......
Before she could finish her words, her face suddenly changed.
Because there was already a pair of bright scissors against Sister Wu's chest.
That's a pair of scissors I usually use when I unpack and cut tags.
Now it's the sharpest weapon in my hands.
Sister Wu looked at me: "You...... What are you going to do? Do you really dare to stab me with scissors?"
Xiaoyu has been hugging her chest and watching the excitement on the side.
At this time, he was also startled and took a big step back.
There wasn't a fluctuation in my tone.
"Sister Wu, I don't have much money, so I love money very much, and money is my life. I don't care what rules you have, but my rules are, you can't keep me from making money, or I'll really fight with you. 80 yuan, do you give it or not? I've worked all day, I'm tired, I want to go back to bed early, I don't have the heart to talk nonsense with you. β
Because what I'm saying is so calm, it seems extraordinarily true.
Extraordinarily deterrent.
Maybe if I show my teeth and claws, Sister Wu still doesn't believe that I really dare to do it.
After all, she has also been in society for many years, and she is not a rookie like Chun Tao.
But because what I said was light and light, I looked like I regarded human life as a mustard, but I really suppressed this woman who has always been known for her arrogance and spiciness.
She was stunned, trembling a little to take money out of her body.
But she didn't have any money on her.
So he looked at Xiaoyu: "What are you still doing in a daze? Take the money!"
Xiao Yu hurriedly touched it from her body, took out a hundred-yuan bill, and handed it to Chun Tao with some trembling.
She didn't dare give it to me directly.
Chun Tao took the money and wanted to give them change.
I said, "Don't look for it, get them two pairs of socks and you'll pay 20 yuan." β
Chun Tao smiled, took out two pairs of socks from the stall and stuffed them to Xiaoyu.
I put the scissors back, then carried my bag and walked with Chun Tao in the direction of the rental compound.
Leaving Sister Wu and Xiaoyu stunned and staring at each other.
......
On the way, Chun Tao was excited.
"Sister Huanxi, you are so good! You were so powerful just now! β
I didn't speak.
Chun Tao asked again: "Then if they insist on not giving money, will you really stab the scissors down?"
I thought about it, nodded, and shook my head again.
Actually, I don't know if Sister Wu insisted on not giving money, I would really stab the scissors down.
Make a blood splatter on the spot.
Because I haven't been forced to do that yet.
And many people do a lot of things, but they are actually forced.
So just now Sister Wu and I were actually gambling.
Bet on who is a little harder.
Bet on whether we are cruel to ourselves and even more ruthless to others.
Obviously, I won the bet.
Because I won the bet, I didn't have to be driven into a dead end and make that decisive choice.
This incident made me understand a truth.
People are not allowed to gamble, because nine out of ten gambles are lost.
But at certain critical moments, it is necessary to have the courage to break through the cauldron and sink the boat.
It's not that people can't gamble.
The premise is that you can't be afraid of losing.
......
"I don't know. "I said honestly to Chun Tao.
"But I think, Sister Huanxi, you should be able to stab down! Because I feel a murderous aura from you! Seriously, I was a little afraid of you at that time, but Sister Huanxi, you are a good person, and a good person should be brave, otherwise you can't always be bullied. Chun Tao said to me.
"I didn't expect that in your eyes, I was still a woman. "I was joking with Chun Tao.
But I know it's not that easy.
Sister Wu and Xiaoyu have suffered a loss, and they will not give up.
So next, I must be vigilant and beware of the plots of those villains.
......
Their plot came.
On the evening of the third day, I arrived at the stall an hour late because I had something, and I saw Chun Tao sitting on a small stool with a bitter face, very unhappy.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Sister Huanxi, I received fake money. When Chun Tao saw me asking, she was so aggrieved that she was about to cry.
As he spoke, Chun Tao handed over three hundred-yuan bills.
I took it and looked closely at the lights on the stall, and although it was more realistic, it was still easy to tell that it was a counterfeit.
Three, that's a loss of 300 dollars.
I know that before doing business, it was easy to come across fake money.
So basically everyone who does business will be equipped with a money detector.
But in recent years, most people have opted for mobile payment.
Many people don't even bring cash with them when they go out.
This also reduces the risk of receiving fake money.
