Chapter 8: A Clever Robbery
Yao Yi felt that if he could earn living expenses by selling bookmarks, he should be happier.
He can't do jobs like handing out flyers and serving dishes, not because he holds his own identity, nor does he look down on those occupations that exchange labor for pay, but because those jobs require long-term repetition of mechanical movements, which is neither fresh nor challenging, and it does not allow Yao Yi to use what he has learned.
In a word, it's not interesting.
Yao Yi has enjoyed wealth and seen wind and rain, and he does not have much pursuit of monetary interests, just live an interesting life.
DIY bookmarks are quite interesting, and even more interesting with Yao Yi's yet-to-be-proposed idea.
A writer once said that there is no happier thing in the world than being paid to do what you love.
Yao Yi thought, then the second happiest thing is probably to do a fun thing and make money at the same time.
I hope that the little girl with a double ponytail is willing to give this opportunity, because it is very troublesome to buy stall items and purchases, and Yao Yi does not want to waste time and energy on those boring things.
The little girl glanced at Yao Yi twice, and asked suspiciously, "Really, but why are you helping me?"
Yao Yi thought that her appearance was not low, and she didn't have a bad face, but it was normal for the little girl to have doubts.
Easily trusting a stranger who came out of nowhere and doesn't know anything is not innocence, but stupidity.
"Not to help you, but to help myself, I said, I don't have money, I need to make money. If my method works, please give me some commission in return, and if you want, we can also cooperate, I have better ideas. Yao Yi didn't have the slightest embarrassment in his pocket, because it was his own choice.
It may be the first time to see a person with empty pockets and such a free and reckless self-confidence, the little girl's eyes widened, stared at Yao Yi for a long time, and finally the chick nodded quickly like pecking rice: "Then, then you can try it, the people who usually buy bookmarks are familiar faces, if your method works, I can see it, well, divide half of you?"
Is it half of the revenue, or is it half of the net profit after deducting costs? I guess she doesn't have that concept yet. Yao Yi shook his head with a smile: "Not so much, thirty percent of the net profit is enough." ”
The net profit is thirty percent, which doesn't sound like much, but in Yao Yi's opinion, this can be regarded as bullying children and not being sensible.
The little girl set up a stall, not only the cost of goods, but also the time cost and opportunity cost of purchasing and setting up a stall, and Yao Yi just clicked casually, and she had to take away the entire 30% net profit in the follow-up, which is not an exaggeration to say greedy.
You must know that setting up a stall is not a one-shot deal, as long as she does not find a better source of income, she will come again in the future, and every extra day she comes, Yao Yi's income will increase by one more point, and in the subsequent process, Yao Yi does not need to pay.
Of course, in the case of only a verbal agreement and no notary public, the little girl can go back on it at any time and continue to use the marketing methods taught to her by Yao Yi, but not pay the commission.
But Yao Yi thinks that she will not do this, not trusting her, but trusting herself.
In the business field, to ensure that the partner will not betray, it is useless to talk about feelings and character, you must talk about interests, if you want to ensure that the partner will not pit you for the sake of interests, let him realize that cooperating with you will bring him greater benefits.
It's really not a blow, Yao Yi has at least a hundred ways to tie up his partner, and those cunning business predators can't escape his palm, let alone this foolish girl.
"Then ......" the little girl hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind, "Then you try?"
Yao Yi, who had full marks of action, immediately asked: "Do you have paper? ”
"Is it okay to sketch paper?"
The little girl took out the sketchboard with blank paper from the big bag behind her back, Yao Yi made an OK gesture, took the sketchboard and put it on the ground, then picked up the fluorescent watercolor pen on the folding table, wrote a few big characters with the pen and snake, and then stood up the sketchboard and leaned against the outer edge of the folding table.
The little girl was confused and cast a puzzled look at Yao Yi, who smiled mysteriously: "Wait." ”
After waiting for a minute, no one came.
After waiting for three minutes, no one came.
After waiting for five minutes, no one came.
The little girl couldn't bear it, looked at Yao Yi again, and whispered cautiously: "Isn't it, hmm, isn't it useless? Oh, don't be discouraged, this method won't work, you can think of other ways." ”
Yao Yi's face was calm, he didn't speak, and a confident person would not make unnecessary excuses, just wait quietly for the facts to prove his correctness.
After a short while, a short-haired lady about twenty-seven or eighty-eight passed by Yao Yi's stall when she suddenly stopped and looked down at the stickers and colored pens on the table.
"It's ......"
As soon as the little girl was about to open her mouth, the short-haired lady showed a smile: "DIY bookmarks, I know, well, there are no stickers for pigs here, can you please help me draw them?" I want three bookmarks, each drawing a little black pig, a little white pig, and a little pink pig." ”
The little girl wondered how this sister knew that I could draw, but she didn't ask the question, nodded and picked up the pen, and drew three cute little piggy heads on the three bookmarks as requested.
The short-haired lady took the bookmark and glanced at it, nodded with satisfaction, and asked, "How much?"
"Three ......"
Before the word "yuan" could be uttered, Yao Yi, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke, covering her voice.
"Thirty. ”
The little girl's eyes widened and she was about to explain, when the short-haired lady had already taken out her purse, bent down and put down two banknotes, one ten yuan and one twenty yuan, on the folding table.
The little girl's eyes are wide open, and if you take a headshot with the words "jaw-dropping", it is an excellent emoji.
"You, I, She, this ......"
Before he could say a word, two more lieutenant colonels dressed in the third lieutenant school obeyed the direction of the bus stop, and they all stopped in front of the stall, one of the boys carrying a small cake glanced at the little girl and quickly lowered his head, looked at his toes and blushed and asked: "Excuse me, can you help me write a blessing, my words, no, not good-looking." ”
Yao Yi immediately replied: "Yes, ten yuan for a bookmark, five yuan for DIY blessings, you can choose Chinese characters, English, French, Japanese, and you don't need money if the words are not good-looking." ”
"Oh, just Chinese characters, just write ......'I wish Xiaowen eternal happiness', Xiao who is not aware of spring sleep, Wen who starts with rain. After the boy finished speaking, he solemnly admonished, "The words must be good-looking!"
Yao Yi snorted, took out the Kailan Di Gosica worth a suite and a car, first wrote "I wish Xiaowen eternal happiness" on the front of a bookmark, and then wrote a line of beautiful flowery English on the back, waited for a while and waited until the ink solidified, Yao Yi handed out the bookmark: "Fifteen yuan, the English version does not charge money, count it as my birthday gift to Xiaowen." ”
The boy watched and watched, couldn't put it down, and after paying the money, he said thank you a few times and left happily.
The little girl almost popped her eyes out.
God, does this person have a conscience!
A bookmark that costs less than a dime, and you will be charged fifteen yuan for writing two lines?
It's a robbery!
But why are the robbed people so happy!
Fake it!
It must be fake!
The little girl secretly pinched herself.
Hiss –
It hurts.
