Chapter 1123 Problem Discovery 10

1.

At the end of August 1990, after some simple preparations, Lao Wangtou's commissary opened before the start of the new autumn semester for students.

According to the instructions of the then principal Liu Wenhua, Lao Wangtou's shop was set up in the school's communication room. The outer room is a small shop and a school communication room, and the inner room is the old king's bedroom and a storeroom. The school communication room is smaller than the other buildings in the school, which makes it even more cramped.

The old king had never done business before, and although he could guess that it was a profitable business, he didn't know how to run the shop. At the beginning, Lao Wangtou just went to the wholesale department on the street to buy some paper, pencil and ink, compasses, triangular rulers and other commonly used learning tools for students, making a small store like a stationery store, and he couldn't make a lot of money. So, some students suggested to Lao Wangtou that he buy some snacks such as melon seeds and sell them.

By selling snacks such as melon seeds, Lao Wangtou found that selling these food items was much more profitable than selling student stationery. Taking a 35-gram pack of spiced melon seeds as an example, the retail price of a bag of spiced melon seeds in a street shop is five dimes, the retail price in the wholesale department is three bags for one dollar, and the wholesale price is four bags for one dollar. Of course, the wholesale price of the wholesale department is also limited, and generally more than 100 bags can be considered wholesale. Lao Wangtou spent 25 yuan on wholesale 100 bags of melon seeds, and the turnover of selling 100 bags of melon seeds was 50 yuan, so that the net profit of 100 bags of spiced melon seeds was 25 yuan. Melon seeds are the most consumed snack in school, both teachers and students like to eat, and five cents a bag is not expensive, every student can afford to consume, sometimes Lao Wang can sell a hundred and eighty bags a day. If you catch up with the sports day, party and other activities in the school, the sales of spiced melon seeds are even more amazing, sometimes thousands of bags can be sold in a day. What is the concept of a few thousand bags of melon seeds? That's an income of a few hundred yuan! Compared with Lao Wangtou's salary of 20 yuan a month, what is this concept? This means that Lao Wangtou will make a fortune just by selling spiced melon seeds. If you add other snacks and stationery business, Lao Wangtou's income this year is already an absolute master compared to the meager salary of the teachers at that time.

Later, Lao Wangtou slowly added tobacco, alcohol, cold drinks, sorbet, instant noodles and other businesses to the store, as well as toilet paper, sanitary napkins, soap, toothpaste and other items used by students, making this store look like a department store with all kinds of organs, and the profits are naturally getting more and more lucrative.

No one in the compound of Hushan Middle School knew about Lao Wangtou's stuffy hair and wealth, and in the eyes of the teachers, Lao Wangtou was still the same old Wang Tou who walked with a limp, saw people smiling all over his face, and wore shabby clothes. The fact is that the old king does not have any money in his hands, although the old king makes a lot of money, but there is a family of four behind the old king who needs him to feed, not to mention that there is a medicine jar that needs to throw money into it every day. Therefore, all the money earned by the old Wang Tou went with his "gang" home.

Just two years ago, the old Wang Tou "pulled a gang" to the "medicine jar" at home and couldn't afford to get sick, and finally died, leaving a woman and two children to the old Wang Tou. The people in the village said that when the man in the medicine jar was gone, the good days of the old king's head would come. However, as the two children have grown up, and the girl is now of the age of marriage, the family must prepare a dowry that can be handled, right? The boy has to go to high school and college, which is another heavy burden. The man left, and the old king continued to shoulder the burden of the family without hesitation.

In the past two years, with the development of the economy and the circulation of the market, Lao Wangtou's business has done a lot better, but prices and consumption have also risen, so Lao Wangtou has not made more money than before. Coupled with the competition between the school cafeteria and the sheep soup restaurant, Lao Wangtou's business in the compound of Hushan Middle School became more and more difficult. Especially under the interference of Song Xiuwen, the director of general affairs, many of Lao Wangtou's money-making businesses were cleaned up by Song Xiuwen. If he annoys Song Xiuwen, he is very likely to be kicked out of the compound of Hushan Middle School, and he will lose his job as a school janitor and the business of a small store.

Lao Wangtou's job as a janitor in Hushan Middle School is actually very easy, basically every morning, noon and evening when students go to and from school can be a little busier, and there is nothing to do at other times, that is, the school gate is closed and squatting in the communication room to drink tea. Therefore, the old king has a lot of time to take care of the business of his small store.

Under normal circumstances, Lao Wangtou pedals a rickshaw to the street wholesale department to purchase goods during the students' class hours, and when he comes back, he is busy stacking the goods, entering the account, and then waiting for the students to come during the recess.

Today is no exception, Lao Wang Tou just pedaled a tricycle to pull several large cartons of goods into the school gate, and saw the principal Sun Wudong walking along the school road.
