Chapter 6 It's really hard for the poor to make money
The landlord, Sister Bai, really has a vigorous and resolute style, and as soon as she accepted the proposal, she led Yao Yi downstairs to print the contract.
After signing the contract with a trial clause, Sister Bai called the other two tenants who had not yet come back to explain the situation, and then handed over the money and key with Yao Yi, and finally left a phone call and left in a hurry.
Yao Yi carried the key into his room, and smiled proudly when he thought that the problem of accommodation had been solved smoothly.
Using the various means of galloping in the business world in the previous life to such a trivial thing as renting a house, it is quite a bit of a knife to kill chickens, unexpectedly, this feels really good, and it is a bit of satisfaction to graduate and sweep the novice village.
However, this is not an achievement worth boasting about, Yao Yi only immersed himself in a happy mood for a short while, then took out a pen and paper and sat down at the white oak desk to start planning.
The 3,000 yuan was borrowed from my mother, and after deducting the 100 hotel room fees, 1,02 rental deposits, 300 trial stay room fees, and the cost of eating and riding in the car for the past two days, there are less than 1,300 left.
If there is no problem at the end of the trial stay, pay 900 room fees and deduct the living expenses for the next two days, and it is estimated that there are only two or three hundred left in your pocket.
It is now the beginning of the month, and the salary of small companies is generally in the middle and late stages, even if you successfully apply for the job tomorrow and successfully join the company the day after tomorrow, you will have to wait for nearly 40 days to get the first salary.
Two or three hundred yuan, for forty days? I can't even afford instant noodles!
Of course, it's not impossible to really hold on, anyway, the kitchen utensils in the house are complete, go to the supermarket to buy rice and noodles, cook white rice and water noodles every day and mix some chili sauce, buy some cheap promotional fruits every week to supplement vitamins, so that you can't starve to death if you eat for 40 days, and you won't have a big problem eating.
But Yao Yi is here to experience a new life, not to be abused, the decline in quality of life is bearable, but if you can't eat well, it can't be bearable.
Besides, if his parents find that they can't eat enough outside, Yao Yi estimates that he will have to go home and be arranged clearly before the first salary is paid.
So, you have to find a way to make money first!
How to make money?
This seemingly simple question actually stumped Yao Yi, because it was a problem that could not be solved with his past experience.
In the previous life, Yao Yi started as an executive, and he never worried about money, not to mention after taking the helm of the group, money was just a changing number in his eyes.
If you have a considerable amount of money in your hand, with Yao Qi's personal ability and the golden finger of rebirth in disguised prediction of the future, it won't take long to earn a good net worth, but if you want to make money, why bother making it so complicated, pick up your mobile phone and make a call home, some are money.
So the question is, how to make money when you are poor?
Yao Yi thought about the belongings he packed in a canvas dual-purpose bag, and when he left home, he only brought a pair of casual shoes, a pair of leather shoes, a business shirt, a pair of trousers, a few changes of clothes, and a pen, not even a watch.
This limited edition six-sided enamel Gosika fountain pen is quite valuable, converted into domestic currency, the price is more than two million, if it is sold, not only can you buy the full price of the Xiangshan Famous Garden, but also add a cheap Audi.
Of course, it's just a matter of thinking about it, not mentioning that this is a gift from his mother to Yao Yi's eighteenth birthday, just saying that this fountain pen was not obtained by him through personal efforts, so he can't sell it for money, otherwise it is no different from reaching out to ask for money from home.
"What to do?"
Yao Yi muttered in a low voice, frowning and pondering.
What he needs is a part-time job to support his life, which cannot affect his daily work, cannot occupy too much time, and must be rewarded quickly, where can he find such a part-time job?
Being a tutor seems to be a good choice, but his student card has been returned, and the certificate is not competitive in the tutoring market, most parents themselves do not have the ability to identify, and would rather choose a second-rate university student majoring in foreign languages or teacher training, rather than choose a "bad student" who dropped out of Southern Union University.
What else is there besides tutoring?
Yao Yi racked his brains and couldn't think of a suitable part-time job, not because his imagination was barren, but because he had never been in such a situation in his life in the past 40 years, and he had too little information.
Originally, Yao Yi thought that with his own skills, it would be easy to make money, and he was thinking about work and residence, but when he sat down and counted the accounts, he realized that it was so difficult for the poor to make money.
For Yao Yi, who has a plan for everything, this is a fresh experience, and it is also a big lesson, if you can't find a solution, I'm afraid you can only find someone to borrow money, which is extremely embarrassing.
Face is very important, Yao Yi doesn't want to give up easily, but sitting here doesn't help, thinking about it, Yao Yi picked up his bag again, and planned to take a walk on the street to find inspiration.
At this time, the sunset has set on the mountain, and the street lamps, car lamps and shop lights compete with each other, and there is no daylight to cover it, which makes it even more colorful.
For the people on the sidewalk who are dressed in different clothes and hurrying steps, this sight is commonplace, and there is no need to take a second look, let alone stop to appreciate it.
So Yao Yi became an outlier in the crowd, he was like a traveler to another world, his steps were light and slow, occasionally stopping suddenly, or taking a few steps back, and several times he almost collided with others.
After shopping for a while, Yao Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Rodin is right, there is no lack of beauty in life, but there is a lack of eyes to find beauty." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he shook his head again and said to himself: "However, the pace of urban life is so fast, once you are busy, who has the leisure to explore the beauty of life?"
The words are not rough, this is true, for example, Yao Yi himself is an example, when he just went downstairs, he was in a relaxed mood, he could see the smiles on the faces of passers-by, and he could see the halo that shrouded the street lamp, but when he remembered that the next living expenses had not yet been settled, he could only see the job postings posted on the street lamps, walls and glass doors in his eyes.
After walking around the street near the Xiangshan Famous Garden, Yao Yi failed to find a suitable part-time job, and when he returned the same way, he found that in the most prosperous part of the street, there were many small vendors who set up folding tables and began to sell all kinds of small items.
The last time I went shopping and bought land stalls was more than ten years ago, Yao Yi felt quite fresh, and looked at the stall along the way.
A dazzling array of goods from socks, keychains, mobile phone cases, porcelain dolls and ceramic ornaments purportedly made in Jingzhen, as well as bookmarks......
Hey?
Bookmark?
Yao Yi stopped, looked up at the Baixiang Book House next to him, his eyes lit up, and he had an idea.
