Chapter 8: Treats
After selling the so-called "secret recipe" of fried rice noodles, Chen Shi couldn't continue to sell fried rice noodles, but the school was about to be on holiday, and the students couldn't make money, so there was only one place in the station, and the station was much worse than the school, so he was not reluctant, but there was a kind of relief.
Now, he has a certain amount of capital on him, and he can do a lot of things, and there is no need to hang himself from a tree.
The main thing is that he thinks that the speed of making money by selling fried rice noodles is too slow.
Back at the rented house, he hurriedly took inventory of his family. From the beginning of coming to the county to sell rice noodles, until today, more than a month of savings, he counted, about 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan, 8,000 are pies falling from the sky, this speed of making money is still quite fast, but he is too slow, according to this situation, I don't know what year and month it will take to get rich.
Therefore, he decided to take a look around the streets to see if there were any good business opportunities.
Just do it, lock the door, take the money with you, go to the bank to get a card and save the money, keep the pocket money of 200 yuan and walk in the direction of the pedestrian street.
It is said to be a pedestrian street, but in fact, it is just a collection of shops, such as clothing stores, regular restaurants, hotels, etc. This small county has a population of less than one million, and the nearby towns and villages are all rural, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the transportation is inconvenient. As far as he knows, it will take ten years for the provincial capital to open a direct expressway, and fifteen years later, Guizhou Province will claim to be the first county to connect the expressway, and then the economy will develop.
Now there is neither a People's Square nor a decent commercial street in this county, and this so-called pedestrian street is just a beating.
Even so, there is still a lot of people here, although it can't catch up with the station, but the people who come here are almost a fixed group, most of them live in the county, there are no foreign tourists, so the consumption is relatively stable.
He took a closer look and found that there was almost nothing lacking here, from food and clothing to housing and transportation, there should be, but they were not on a large scale, such as those selling breakfast, except for some itinerant vendors, there are very few restaurants that specialize in serving breakfast, even if there are one or two flour restaurants, the conditions are not so good, and it looks unhygienic.
Do you want to open a fast-food restaurant? Although the population here is small, there are already regular white-collar workers, and the spending power of these white-collar workers is not too weak, and there must be business.
There are also few entertainment facilities here, there is no library, only a newsstand, and the newspapers and magazines are not complete, he can't even find a fashionable magazine, except for a few national defense newspapers, most of them are morning and evening daily newspapers, and the only entertainment magazine may be "Ancient and Modern Legends".
There is a place to play, but there is no Internet access, so you can only play single-player games. He was overjoyed, this is a money-making monster, if he opens the Internet and can play online games, there must be a lot of people at that time, mainly because it is not far from the school, only ten minutes away.
In less than an hour, he walked around the entire county, and finally found that there was not a large supermarket here, only a few commissaries, and a few stores specializing in daily necessities were not large. He was pleasantly surprised by this discovery, but he was a little discouraged when he thought about it, because there was no start-up capital.
After going around the county, there was really nowhere to go, so he had to go back to think and plan.
When I returned to the rented house, it was already afternoon, Uncle Zheng was at home, and I was a little surprised to see Chen Shi, and asked him, "Come back so early today?"
In the past, Chen Shi always went out early and returned late, and never came back halfway.
As soon as Chen Shi said that he would not do rice noodle business, Uncle Zheng said with some pity: "What will you do in the future?"
Chen Shi himself hasn't figured it out yet, so he has to say that he doesn't know, think about it first.
He was about to go back to his room to think about it when Taozi came. Tao Zi called Uncle Zheng's uncle, Uncle Zheng saw that Chen Shi and Tao Zi were very familiar, and asked how they met, both of them concealed it and didn't say it, just said that they had seen it near the school, and chatted a few words, Uncle Zheng knew who his wife and nephew were, and he said seriously: "Taozi, don't take Xiao Chen to the bad people." ”
Tao Zi smiled awkwardly, and Chen Shi said on the side: "Uncle Zheng, it's okay, I have something to do with Tao Zi, let's go first." ”
The two came to Chen Shi's room, and Chen Shicai asked Taozi: "Have you thought about it?" He thought Tao Zi was here for revenge.
However, Tao Zi shook his head and said, "We haven't thought about it yet, I came to you today to ask why you don't go to school to sell rice noodles?
Chen Shi said: "The school holiday is coming soon, and I don't plan to sell rice noodles anymore, I want to do something else." He didn't explain why he didn't sell rice noodles, and there were some things that the fewer people knew, the better, and while it wasn't a secret, he had to make it a habit that he didn't have to explain so much to others.
"Don't do it?" Tao Zi was surprised, in his opinion, although fried rice can't make a lot of money, but the business has been booming, and the income is very good, how can you say that you don't do it?
Chen Shi smiled and said, "I can't make a lot of money by frying rice, so I'm going to open a restaurant and sell fast food." "It's not for nothing that he opened a fast food restaurant, he has already thought about this problem when he was on the street, and now McDonald's and KFC have not opened here, this is a blank market, and the important thing is that he not only sells Western-style fast food, but also adds Chinese-style breakfast.
Tao Zi said, "Isn't that the same?
"I will no longer fight guerrillas, but will engage in positional warfare. ”
Tao Zi said with a smile: "Do you still make guerrilla warfare and positional warfare? I think you have a problem with your brain, and you can't do a good business? I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out." ”
Chen Shi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You have eaten too much to support, what does it matter to you that I do business? ”
Tao Zi said: "Am I that kind of person? Although Lao Tzu is mixed with society, he never bullies the weak, and people who mix with society also pay attention to righteousness and reasonableness. ”
Chen Shi scolded with a smile and said, "Don't bully the weak, then how did we meet?"
"You are also considered weak, you fight six, we are the weak side, okay?" Tao Zi was still apprehensive about being beaten, and of course he was unwilling, because he hadn't found his way back and hadn't wanted to get back face. For people like them, the field and face are very important, and they can work hard when necessary.
Chen Shi didn't bother to pay attention to him, and asked, "Don't talk about these useless things, you won't come to me today just for these things, right?"
Tao Zi said: "We are still discussing, and we will definitely inform you when we reach an agreement, and you can rest assured, we are not the kind of person who stabs in the back." ”
Chen Shi believes in them, they do have their own principles, although they are not good people, but they have their own principles are much better than the kind of people who have no lower limit and no discipline.
Chen Shi thought for a while and said: "I have been free recently, and when the business opens in the future, maybe I will be busy, so I think the grievances between us will be resolved as soon as possible, you see if this will work, I will have a treat tonight, the five of you will come together, and there will be revenge and revenge when the time comes, I will fight or kill the five of you, how about it?"
Chen Shi wanted to solve this matter as soon as possible, and he couldn't keep putting it off. In the county seat, he is single-handed, unable to prevent it, he must solve the contradiction with Tao Zi and others, and when necessary, he must get in touch with them, and it is best to become their friend, so that he can gain a firm foothold in the county, and it would be better if he could subdue a few of them.
Tao Zi pondered for a moment and replied solemnly, "Okay, in that case, we'll see you in the evening, where do you want to be?"
Since Chen Shi wants to have a treat, then of course he wants to be in a restaurant, he said: "I saw a good restaurant on the pedestrian street today, at 7 o'clock in the evening, you call the brothers to go to the 'villager's fried restaurant', we will see you and leave." ”
Tao Zi agreed, chatted with Chen Shi for a few more words, and left.
The rental house was empty, he had been here for a month, there was hardly any furniture in the house, nothing but a bed, and the things he cooked were also sold, and now he couldn't cook a meal by himself.
As soon as Tao Zi left for a while, Uncle Zheng came to ask him what Tao Zi was doing? Of course, Chen Shi would not say in detail, thinking that a simple perfunctory would be over, but Uncle Zheng seemed to admonish his own child, and persuaded him to stay away from Tao Zi and persuade him not to learn badly.
Chen Shi smiled bitterly, it was not easy to refuse Uncle Zheng's hard work, so he had to listen to him hard.
This is half an hour, Chen Shike has never been taught such a lesson, but from Uncle Zheng's mouth, he knows that the reason why Taozi is so stubborn is completely caused by improper family education. His parents are away all the year round, and there is only one grandmother with him, but the grandmother is old and always unable to teach her grandson, so he has been fighting everywhere since he was a child, which is a headache, and the neighbors are not so friendly to him, so he is even more rebellious.
