Li Feng shook his head again and again from a distance, earning such hard-earned money, not only is his income very limited, but there is no room for growth.

Coupled with my father's rigid brain, he doesn't know how to operate, and he lacks suitable publicity methods, even if he works hard to set up a stall here for a year, I'm afraid he can only earn a few thousand yuan, which is really a drop in the bucket to improve the life of the whole family.

The sun was sinking in the west, and half of the sun had already hidden in the clouds on the horizon, making the clouds white and red, like the faces of innocent children.

A cool breeze blew from the street, and the plane trees on both sides of the road began to rustle, and some withered yellow leaves slowly drifted down with the cool breeze, and it seemed that there were more and more people at the corner of the street near the end of work.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Feng decided not to hide and talk to his father directly.

Thinking about it, he walked straight across the road to the bottom of the big tree where his father had set up his stall.

"Boss, how do you sell this toy?" asked Li Feng half-squatting and supporting his knees with his hands.

"Three pieces of one, whatever you want. Li Wanmin habitually said, but suddenly he felt that something was wrong, and when he raised his eyes, he saw his son Li Feng appear in front of him.

Li Wanmin's face twitched, his face was quite ugly, and then he quickly regained his composure, let out a long sigh, and said: "Son, you also know the situation at home, your mother has been laid off, and I am afraid that I will not be able to keep my job." There is no choice but to earn some extra money to subsidize the family. ”

"Dad, you've worked hard. Li Feng took the paper fan from Li Wanmin's hand, fanned him, and squatted beside Li Wanmin, "It turns out that you are not going to play chess, but to set up a stall here." ”

"Hey, I didn't want to tell you, I'm afraid you'll be distracted. Presumably you have also heard that Dad's factory will be restructured soon, and when the time comes, he will be laid off, just like your mother, I don't want to order a way now, but I'm afraid that our family of three will drink the northwest wind by then. Li Wanmin frowned and let out a long sigh, his eyes were both helpless and confused.

Li Feng nodded: "It's just that it's really too hard to set up a stall like this." ”

"What's the way, your father and I have been workers all my life, I'm used to iron rice bowls, and I'm not familiar with the market outside at all, except for coming here to set up a stall, I really can't think of any other way out. Although Li Wanmin didn't want his son to know this, he bumped into him today, and he had no choice but to say everything in his heart.

It's just that after he finished speaking, his mood became more and more melancholy, and he felt that he was too poor and unproductive.

"Dad, there are people who sell sugar gourds, cold drinks, and comic books, all kinds of things, there are many categories, why did you choose to sell plush toys?" Li Feng was a little curious about this matter, after all, Dad's choice was a bit non-mainstream, and the business of other stalls around him was obviously better than him.

"Isn't it that I don't know anything, and I'm afraid of being cheated when I buy goods, it just so happens that there is not a toy factory in our hometown in the countryside, and your third uncle works in the factory, so I will ask him to help buy some goods. Li Wanmin said helplessly.

My father is an honest skilled worker, although he has first-class technology in the factory, but because he deals with metal objects in the workshop all the year round, his thinking is as hard as metal products, and he is a bit out of touch with mainstream society.

In addition, he didn't dare to take risks, but only sought stability, so he didn't dare to get involved rashly when he saw that the business of other stalls was better than himself, but chose the most secure purchase channel.

"The toy factory where the third uncle works?" Li Feng then remembered that his third uncle Li Wanhua used to work in a plush toy factory in the countryside.

My father, Li Wanmin, was born as a farmer, and his hometown is located in Nanqiao Village, Wanyuan Town, about 20 kilometers away from Xianhu City.

Li Wanmin is diligent and down-to-earth, and he is particularly good at studying, so he came to work in the city's state-owned enterprises early, and was the most promising one in his family in his early years. The eldest brother Li Wanda and the third brother Li Wanhua were not so lucky, they were both farming in their hometown Nanqiao Village.

Nanqiao Village is a traditional economically weak village in Wanyuan Town, with a geographical location close to the vast water area of Xianhu Lake, with long-term inconvenient transportation and a very comfortable life for the villagers.

Everyone gets together on weekdays, not to study how to engage in production and construction, but to get together four to open a table of mahjong, which is the famous "mahjong village".

This bad habit is not only spreading in the village, but also to other surrounding villages. Even the town of 10,000 yuan has become a strange scene of chess and card rooms blooming everywhere.

At the beginning of the 21st century, China's economy and society are developing rapidly, and it is in a critical period of getting rid of poverty and becoming well-off.

In order to invigorate the collective economy of the village, the town also sent leaders to guide, and even actively sought policy and financial support from the district.

A few months later, a mini-industrial park with only four small factories broke ground in Nanqiao Village, and with the official completion of the industrial park, the "Nanqiao Toy Factory" was born.

Li Feng once passed by this factory on the way back to the countryside, and the impression was that the production management of the factory was very chaotic, the product positioning was very low-end, and the lack of advanced production equipment belonged to the most primitive family workshop-type enterprise.

So probably before Li Feng went to college, the Nanqiao toy factory went bankrupt and closed down because of the recession.

Li Feng picked two plush toys and played with them, and couldn't help but shake his head: "The quality of the toys in their factory is really not good, you look at this rabbit, the eyes are crooked, it has become a cross-eyed." There is also this thread, which has been dragged into a small tail, and the hair is rough, and there is no quality control personnel to check it at all. If you look at it in a large factory, these are defective products to be disposed of. ”

"Hey, you seem to know a lot. Li Wanmin squinted at Li Feng, "The quality of the things is a little worse, but the purchase price is quite cheap, with an average of eight pieces per piece, and if the sales volume is large, you can still make a lot of money." ”

"The problem is that no one can look at this thing, but I saw it just now, you have been here for half an hour, and you have only done two businesses, and the total is only ten yuan. After five o'clock, the crowd has dispersed, and there is no business to do, which is called low value-added labor. Li Feng stood up angrily and said.

Li Wanmin was happy when he heard it: "Low value-added labor? Fengfeng, you have created a new term to fool your father?"

Li Feng squatted down, leaned closer and said, "Dad, I have a good idea to start a business, let's sum it up." ”

"Just you, continue your foolishness. Although Li Wanmin didn't believe that his son had any good business ideas, he had nothing to do with his son anyway.

Li Feng told Li Wanmin his thoughts again, but he shook his head again and again.

"Son, aren't you talking on paper, we want money or not, we want a venue or not, how can we open an Internet café. Li Wanmin wiped the sweat on his head with a towel, "Don't say it's 50,000, even 10,000 can't be taken out by our family." ”

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Li Wanmin really has 50,000 yuan in hand, he will not smash into the matter of opening an Internet café, what if he loses it?

This kind of thing is too risky, and for Li Wanmin, who is used to the iron rice bowl, he obviously hasn't even thought about it.

"I'll figure out the money, and I'll be able to get a good batch of second-hand computers. Dad, you've been walking around town recently and seeing what good locations are available. Li Feng said, "I'm not joking with you, it's serious." If our Internet café is running well, I estimate that I will earn 5,000 a month. ”

Li Wanmin's eyes were a little straight, his monthly salary was only more than 1,000, and if he set up a stall here, he could only earn three or five hundred pocket money a month at most, if he could really earn 5,000, the family's life would not have to worry at all.

"Five thousand, it's worth four months' salary, don't talk nonsense with me, what do you know?" Although Li Wanmin was a little moved, he was obviously very skeptical of his son's statement, "Okay, close the stall early today and go home for dinner." ”

Li Wanmin said, packing up his baggage.

"Dad, remember what I told you, help me find a storefront. Li Feng didn't forget to say it again.

"Got it. Li Wanmin nodded.

Although Li Wanmin doesn't know the way of business, he also knows that running an Internet café is a good project to start a business.

The young men in their twenties and thirties in their factories went to an Internet café outside the factory in groups to play games after work, and I heard that the owner of the Internet café had earned a three-bedroom apartment in the city within a year, and maybe he would be able to buy a car after another year.

Although Li Wanmin is envious in his heart, he has no money, he doesn't know how to use computers, and he doesn't have a venue, so it is really impossible to open an Internet café.

But when my son said this today, the thoughts buried in my heart seemed to have germinated again.

Although he doesn't know how to use computers, his son understands that if he can really get a batch of second-hand computers, it is not impossible to scrape together the savings of the two of them, rent a small storefront, and open a small Internet café.

Thinking about it, the idea seemed to become plausible.

"Feng Feng, did you tell your mother about opening an Internet café?" Li Wanmin pushed the bicycle and returned along the same road with Li Feng.

"Not yet, my mother hates me going online the most, if you tell her, won't she shoot to death?" Li Feng said.

"Don't tell your mom just yet, let me think about it again. Li Wanmin's eyes looked ahead and said slowly.
