002 How Poverty Is Made?
How the poor are made is better compared to the richer.
On this day, I said to my mother, "Mom, starting today, I want to earn a lot of money so that you can enjoy yourself and not be so burdened." "It's not that she doesn't want to accompany me, it's that she doesn't have the time and opportunity, and if she accompanies me, she can't support me, and she can't keep the family business. And I, as an adult, naturally have to take on my own responsibilities.
Tears rolled in my mother's eyes, she hugged me and said, "Mom just looks at you well, Mom doesn't need money." ”
Then, then, it's time for me to spread my wings and fly as an adult.
Before going to school, my mom gave me a bunch of keys, saying it was the key to the firecracker factory.
"You've grown up, and this key is for you. ”
You know, since I was born, I haven't entered the factory that belongs to me through the main entrance, and this time I got the key, and I felt like a treasure.
At the school gate, there are full of luxury cars, what Lamborghini, what Maserati, I, the richest man in the town who originally wanted to show off my wealth, only to find out that I am a poor man! Students, you are not good at driving such a good car, this is easy to cause comparison! This, it is easier to cause me discomfort!
Before I came to the school and entered the dormitory, I found that someone was selling quilts on campus, and the business was not bad, and a quilt was sold for 1,000 yuan. It's too dark, isn't it? A new student said: "The new students don't know where to buy quilts of decent quality, so they have to be slaughtered." ”
I seem to have found a business opportunity.
I packed up my dorm room and talked to my new classmate about how to sell some necessities. The new classmate is called Kaohsiung, and there are a few roommates, one is called Qian, and later I know that he is really rich, Zixin is a handsome guy, Apple likes to play games, Sicong lives in a shantytown, and it has not been demolished for the time being, and there is no money at home.
We discussed and said that the quilt was already being sold, he said that the new stationery must be needed just after the start of school, I said that the stationery campus stationery store is there, can not be made, and the stationery is not valuable, I said that after the start of school a week after everyone must need seasonal clothes, we will sell clothes. Kaohsiung said yes.
As far as my taste is concerned, I'm afraid that others may not like the clothes I like, and Kaohsiung doesn't have much vision, so we asked Zixin to go to the market with us. Zixin readily agreed, and we went to the market. I said that we want to buy clothes with a price of more than 150 yuan and sell them for 500 yuan, because whoever wears low-priced clothes has no face, and everyone who is too expensive can't afford it, after all, they are students. Even so, the purchase price of 150 and the sale of 500 are a bit expensive, they questioned.
I said that a single piece is 500, but we want to sell a top with pants, and two pieces are 800. Zixin chooses good clothes and makes some good-looking and fashionable collocations, and there are many varieties.
Kaohsiung: "Shall we open a shop in the school?" ”
Me: "Would you like to go to the school store and buy clothes? Before you go, you already thought that school clothes were expensive. Now that school has just started, no shopkeeper will transfer his shop. ”
I then contacted the print shop, found 2 models, took model photos, a total of 10 combinations, each combination includes a slightly thicker top and a pants, the top and pants are 500 yuan, buy 2 pieces is 800 yuan, 10 combinations printed on the same piece of paper, write the first-hand source, we don't have to pay rent, college students start a business.
A total of 1,000 sheets were printed, and asked Sicong and Kaohsiung to send them, 1 for each dormitory, focusing on the freshman dormitory, and each one was given to them for 1 yuan. Kaohsiung didn't care about the money, but he could share 40% of the profits from selling clothes, so he went. I am the customer service, we did not take the incoming goods, and put them in the store's warehouse.
Sure enough, after the leaflet was distributed, someone contacted us every day, and in this way, we sold 500 sets, excluding shipping or something, this time the net income was 200,000, and I earned so much for the first time in business, I took the money and said to my roommates, please go out and have fun.
Youqian snorted, obviously despising me, he didn't look down on the money. Oh, it's amazing that my family has money, and I spend the money I earned. I later learned that he hummed for other reasons.
Rich is the second young master of the owner of a game company.
My mom told me to go to the fireworks factory more often.
I came to the fireworks factory, although most people have never seen me in person, but they all know that I am Wang Cannon, I said you are busy, I will go around. No one stopped me, no one took me.
Passing by the gutter that I used to crawl around when I was a child, I felt like I couldn't put it into words. The first time I came in through the gate, the factory was very busy, but I felt that I was the only one in the factory, I went from the office to the workshops, and from the workshops to the finished product warehouse, and finally I came to the medicine warehouse, and found that I didn't have the key here.
I went back to the office, moved a stool and sat next to the registrar, and watched him register today's orders, which was amazing! Today's order volume is 500,000 a day. The registrar, a young man named Coke, who had just graduated from high school, took the initiative to talk about it, saying that our orders were growing every month, and my mother had to build a few more production lines, and now full production still can't meet the demand.
"Business is so good?"
Now that everyone has money in their hands, they can buy 10,000 yuan of gifts for a red and white celebration, and 10 tens of thousands of gifts for a hotel opening. ”
I nodded and said nothing, and at that time I felt that this firecracker factory business would not last long.
I used the more than 100,000 yuan I shared and the money I saved to rent a small store at the school gate to sell milk tea. On the day of the opening, I called Rich over, and I saw that he always skipped class to program in the dormitory, and I asked him curiously what he was doing. He told me that the information we see at present is not personalized, and he wants to design an algorithm and make a software that allows us to see what we want to see, which is simply an algorithm for personalized recommendations.
I think it's a good idea.
We often go to this bubble tea shop, and the bubble tea shop business is not bad, and soon, we opened a second one, but the business of the flower cannon factory is not so good, and the sales start to slip from the high. I didn't care much about the bubble tea shop, it was all Kaohsiung. My mother is in charge of the firecracker factory, and I spend most of my time researching rockets, which is a cannon battle.
I discovered my passion.
I worked hard to learn about building rockets, and I wrote a few notes, and as my mother wished, I found something I liked, and once people do what they like, they will spend less time on other things.
Of course, I can't design a rocket by myself, I have a partner who is as obsessed as me, named Mizuki, when he was born, his father asked someone to calculate a hexagram for him, saying that he was short of water and wood in his life, and named him Mizuki. He was more obsessed than I was, sleeping only 3 hours a day, and spending most of his time working on rockets.
By the time he graduated, the bubble tea shop had opened more than a dozen branches and made a chain brand, Zixin liked to do the milk tea shop business, and dropped out of school before graduating to specialize in running a milk tea shop. In the end, the three of us discussed with Kaohsiung, Kaohsiung and I withdrew, and I wanted to use the money to set up a small company and engage in industry.
Later, a company called Parkson bought a 70% stake in the bubble tea shop, and Zixin owned 30%.
I opened a rocket company with less than 1 million yuan, Mizuki found 2 like-minded college alumni, we worked together late every day, but we had common hobbies and goals, and we never felt tired, and that time was really happy and fulfilling.
My mother called and asked me to go to the firecracker factory to help, and when I returned to the firecracker factory, it turned out to be so depressed that the new production lines were out of use. I had to find a way to reverse the decline, but fortunately, my mother saved all the money she had earned before, and when I saw that there was 10 million in the account. My mother took me to meet the employees of the factory, because I had learned about the company before, and I also knew some technology related to the firecracker factory, and my mother directly asked me to be the general manager, and she was the chairman of the board of directors and asked me to manage the factory.
I asked the secretary, "What kind of products are popular in the market?"
Secretary: "The explosion has a wide range, the flash time is long, and the sound is small. ”
"Isn't that the same as you've always asked for?"
"Technically, we have hit the ceiling and we can't achieve higher results with the same technology. ”
"So what are the new technologies on the market?"
Secretary: "I, uh, go find someone to investigate." ”
I am not satisfied with the results of the secretary's investigation. So, I wanted to recruit a secretary myself, but in this kind of sunset industry, how can there be good people who want to engage in it again.
Coincidentally, when I was in college, Xiaopang who was in a city with me had not yet found a job, she was well-informed, and would inquire about the news, but she was too busy in college to have no contact with her, so let's see if I could invite her.
Chubby said it could, but it could only be done for 3 months. Think about 3 months should be enough.
Xiaopang inquired that there is currently an electronic control product on the market, which has a tendency to occupy the market. So I and the technical team got into it. With the help of university teachers, we soon launched electric control products, and because we have many old customers, we regained the market in one fell swoop.
Seeing that the firecracker factory is slowly becoming lively again, the medicine warehouse is gradually insufficient, and it takes time to build a new warehouse.
"Mom, why only put a little bit of medicine in each warehouse? ”
Mom: "For the sake of safety, the explosion of medicine in one warehouse will not ignite the next warehouse, and if you put too much, an accident will occur, and it is easy to cause a chain of explosions." ”
"That's a waste!"
My mom didn't agree to put more in any case, and because of the regulation, we couldn't put more.
Suddenly received a big order, then I hid it from my mother, thinking that it would be okay to put it for a week or two, it should be fine, the amount of medicine in each warehouse increased me by 3 times, I asked the people in the factory not to tell my mother, even the purchase list I made a fake.
The old warehouse manager told me: "Mr. Wang, it's not safe for you to do this, I think it's better to discuss with the customer, let's build a warehouse first, and this batch of goods will be delivered a few days later!"
Me: "It's hard to get a big order, how can it be delivered a few days late?"
The old warehouse manager said: "Then think of other ways, such as buying more goods in small batches." ”
Me: "Medicine is so hard to buy, you can't buy it every day! Buy a little at a time, and the shipping fee is higher." Just let it go for a few days, it will be fine, I have already arranged to build a new warehouse. ”
The old storekeeper shook his head.
I looked at the full list of orders and secretly rejoiced, it is not very difficult to do business! I am immersed in the dream of becoming the richest man soon.
The cicadas outside the window were screaming vigorously, very noisily.
