The end of the winter vacation means the arrival of the Spring Festival, everyone is busier, and the flavor of the New Year has begun to be strong, everyone is in a hurry, gathering from all directions. Some returnees are more timid in their hometowns, and some homesick people refuse to return. Countless homecoming armies riding motorcycles, rushing back to their hometowns from coastal cities, even if they drag their families all the way to work, they have to go home, just for a short reunion year, of course those who can go home are happy, those who can't go home, there are not a few people who hide in the corner of the company and cry, and there are a lot of sad people, this world is so realistic and helpless.

The approach of the Spring Festival also means the arrival of holiday consumption, Chinese people seem to have a fanatical desire to buy for consumption, usually every New Year's festival is just that, similar to Double 11 and Double 12 is to buy, buy, buy, travel, have not to lose all the money earned in a year will not give up the enthusiasm.

In addition to buying the necessities of the New Year's goods, most of the people have also begun to enter the hedonistic consumption class because Grandpa Mao has become wealthy in their pockets, and the trend of drinking Moutai to visit luxury stores or traveling abroad in the province has also made a comeback.

The vigorous contrast with the Spring Festival consumption is the sales of major department stores, home appliance stores and supermarkets. Most of the reasons for this are related to the central government's anti-corruption efforts and the declining implementation of policies advocating thrift and thrift.

To put it simply, the sales and sales of clothing, gold jewelry and color TV ice washing in department stores are declining significantly, while liquor, cigarettes, fresh food, and holiday gifts are affected by the consumption of the three public and the Spring Festival, showing an unusually hot trend.

Fang Ning took a survey form of the consumer industry and saw that the sales of first-line brand liquor obviously maintained an upward growth curve, other cigarettes and holiday gift boxes showed flat growth, and department store products, home appliance retail, and kitchen and bathroom appliances showed seasonal weakness. Overall, this year's Spring Festival sales are weaker than last year's, in contrast to the strong year-on-year sales in previous years. Many shopping malls said that the high base and low expectations have made sales pressure greater this year.

He already knew that this year's cigarettes and alcohol and other enjoyment items must be showing a hot trend, so he had already asked someone to sweep a batch of goods at a low price in advance, waiting for the arrival of the Spring Festival, and sold them at a high price, making a net profit of 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, which is the benefit of reselling. But as a born-against, holding the authority over the truth of history, his earnings are not just satisfied with making this money. It's just that I'm too bored during the winter break, and I just want to find something to do.

So this time, I got the information in the research report, so as to accurately seize the business opportunities and earn these money, just to enjoy the exciting process.

Fang Ning didn't care about the text messages from the bank prompt on his mobile phone anymore, but curled up on the sofa in a heavy cotton coat, lazily changing TV programs with the remote control, and when he saw the advertisements or those boring TV programs, he was a little absent-minded, and sighed that this year's New Year did not have the flavor of previous years.

The mediocre and ordinary days of the past are occupied by all kinds of grand things for the New Year, but the undercurrent hidden under the surface of this New Year's flavor is everywhere, giving you the illusion that you can't help yourself in the rivers and lakes.

Everyone is a busy person and has their own things, just Fang Ning He is an idler, idle clouds and wild cranes, counting ants under the big banyan tree in the community all day long, and he is in a daze for half a day.

Other figures upstairs squirming open the curtains, flashing a few sneaking out of their heads, tilting their heads to look at Fang Ning with a focused expression under the banyan tree.

Several delicate and curious-looking girls were startled by Fang Ning who suddenly turned around, and hid back in the shadow of the balcony in a panic, waited for a while, and then poked their heads to peek, and found that they didn't notice them, so they showed a smug smile on their faces.

"Fang Wei, what is your brother doing?" the delicate Cao Ying poked her head and looked back, and said in her heart.

Fang Wei looked at it for a long time, touched his chin, and pondered, "With what I know about my brother, I estimate that he counts ants under the big tree!"

Cao Ying: "......"

Hu Lu: "......"

The two girls didn't breathe for a long time, and blinked their eyes for a long time before they said, "Count the ants?"

Fang Wei nodded reasonably, "Otherwise, do you think my brother is doing?"

The two of them tacitly agreed, coughed again, and were glanced at by Fang Wei, and their hearts were a little itchy, and they became curious.

Cao Ying said curiously, "Fang Wei, I heard my parents say that your brother earned forty or fifty thousand yuan during a winter vacation, is it true?

Cao Ying often goes to Fang Wei's house, so she is still familiar with her brother, and it can be said that Fang Ning is the good child of the family next door in the mouth of her parents, with good grades and obedientness.

And she happened to be in the rebellious period of her youth, so she was also very impatient with Fang Ning, who was often talked about by her parents, coupled with her good friend Fang Wei's incomparable admiration for her brother, which made her rebellious psychology even more serious.

As I grew older and went to high school, my psychology changed in another way. I have seen many outstanding seniors, some can recite many English words, some are musically talented, some are instructive, some have excellent academic performance, talk to them eloquently, boast to each other about their achievements, knowledge and experience, at the beginning, Cao Ying was indeed confused by their glamorous appearance, thinking that they were the best people.

But suddenly looking back, I suddenly found that no matter what kind of excellence it is, it always has an unreal feeling, on the contrary, the big boy with a curved smile on his lips under the light and shadow of the building, compared to these high-level boys, has to show a more calm static, usually lazy and low-key, but once he needs to show his claws, it instantly erupts into a volcanic heat.

Then for a long, long time, Cao Ying paid attention to him for a long time, wondering why he was different from other boys, I had heard Fang Wei talk about her brother, and I had heard my parents mention what Fang Ning had done, and the most eye-catching thing recently was that Fang Ning had earned forty or fifty thousand yuan in the middle of nowhere, and these should be things worth boasting about, but he seemed to have an indifferent attitude.

So, Cao Ying suddenly understood that people who have not practiced it will never have that convincing feeling, no matter how experienced you are on the surface, you will not be knowledgeable, at best it is just pretending, just like those boys who comment on the country and talk loudly make people feel so ridiculous.

Fang Wei didn't know that Cao Ying was a little distracted, she was still a little troubled, this matter was originally quite confidential, but it turned out that grandma's big mouth was too show-off, she gossiped about this person, and told others to promise not to say it, but it turned out to be so repeated, the whole community and the people in the neighborhood next door knew about it, fortunately, grandma was still measured, but she said tens of thousands vaguely, not seventy or eighty thousand, so it didn't scare people to death.

"No, it's all my grandma talking nonsense, you know, she doesn't speak reliably, that is, more than 10,000 is exaggerated to 40,000 or 50,000. ”

"Wow, that's amazing!" Hu Lu exclaimed.

"It's okay, my brother is a genius. Fang Wei didn't want to say anything more on this topic, so he quickly changed the topic and talked about other things, with an excited expression on his face, and said: "When I was studying in No. 7 Middle School, I met a sophomore sister who was still a big celebrity in our school. ”

"Who?" Cao Ying and the others blinked.

"Yu Xiaoban, the eldest sister of our school, and the most important thing is the daughter of our county magistrate. Fang Wei raised his head and said.

"How do you know?" their eyes widened.

“…… That's what everybody says. ”
