Chapter 8 Building Momentum
"Ahh Li Haoran looked at Li Hao with a surprised expression, "Is this okay?"
"Okay, you go back, remember to wait for me after school. Li Hao waved his hand at Li Haoran impatiently.
After Li Haoran left, the fat man and Xiaochuan not far away greeted him, ", it's really your brother, it's so easy to get it, I haven't figured out how to tell my dad when I go home." The fat man stepped forward and put his arm on Li Haoran's shoulder and said.
"You have a bad idea, it's not easy to ask for money?" Li Haoran said with a disdainful expression.
Back in the classroom, after two more classes, finally after school, Cheng Tang came over to say hello to Li Haoran and left, Cheng Tang's task is the most critical, he needs to contact the gangster who sells pirated tapes.
At noon, the three of them went back to eat together, when they came in the afternoon, Li Haoran began to wait for the fat man and Xiaochuan at the entrance of the village, these two guys rarely came so late, half an hour later, the fat man and Xiaochuan finally came out, the fat man ran over panting, and said with excitement on his face: "I stole a hundred yuan from my father, and was almost found by him. The fat man came to him, bent over and gasped, "It's still Xiaochuan who is easy to talk to, this guy called his dad directly, and his dad agreed directly without saying a word, rat, you come to judge the theory, they are both two dads, why is the gap so big?"
"Xiaochuan's parents have been doing business outside, it's normal to have this kind of ideological awareness, your parents only care about playing mahjong all day long, and it's hard to cook, which is not at the same level. Li Haoran said with a smile.
"Mouse, you have a more active brain, when will my father find out that I stole his money?" said the fat man with some unnatural face.
"Where did you find it?" Li Haoran turned his head curiously.
"Under the insoles of a leather shoe that I have not been willing to wear for a long time, I estimate that this pair of leather shoes was worn by my father when he got married, and this pair is expensive at home. ”
"That's your father's private money, after two days to earn the money and return it, take the time to admit your father's mistake, your father and your mother play mahjong together every day, it is not easy to have a little private money. Li Haoran grinned.
"You can pull it down, it's not easy for me to steal it out, let me put it back, if my dad finds out, what should I do if I take my shoes and smoke me." The fat man shook his head again and again, looking reluctant.
Entering the school, on the third floor of the teaching building, Qiangzi stood on the fence of the classroom corridor and looked down, and after seeing Li Haoran and the three of them, he smiled and waved at the three of them, and the fat man looked up and was stunned, "Grass, why is this coercion coming again?"
"I should be looking for us to buy a tape, and I'll meet him when I go up. Li Haoran said with a smile.
On the third floor, in the corridor in front of the third class classroom, Qiangzi saw Li Haoran and the three of them coming, and waved at Li Haoran with a smile. Li Haoran stepped forward and greeted with a smile, "You said that you have a group of junior brothers, why can't they come over to inform me of something, you have to come up to me in person?"
"It's all a bunch of small baskets, and they haven't come yet, and I have something else to do with you, so I don't mention them. Qiangzi waved his hand and took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, "I heard that you can buy tapes here, and the price is cheaper than the ones sold at the school gate, is it really fake?"
"Damn, I thought something was going on, just this little, who told you? I didn't say it, if you don't believe it, but you can ask these few. Li Haoran smiled and pointed to the fat man behind him.
"Don't give me all these useless things, just tell me if I have any, and if I do, then I'll buy it now. Qiangzi waved his hand directly at Li Haoran, and said with impatience on his face.
"Grass, you are really in a hurry, you brought dozens of boxes when you came, and they were astigmatized on the way, and the deposits of the classmates in your class were paid, so you can only bring some more tomorrow. Li Haoran looked puzzled.
"Why do you have to leave me some tomorrow for anything, do you hear?" Seeing that Li Haoran was about to enter the classroom, Qiangzi angrily turned sideways to block him.
"Okay, bring the money tomorrow, I'll keep it for you." Li Haoran said speechlessly.
"Remember, keep it for me. Qiangzi heard Li Haoran's exact reply, a smile appeared on his face, and he didn't hear what Li Haoran said about bringing money over tomorrow, and after saying hello, he turned around and left.
After the strong man left, the fat man followed Li Haoran into the classroom, ", when will we start selling?" You are fooling the same as the real thing, if I didn't come with you, I would have believed it." The fat man squinted and smiled.
"Pretend, you have to pretend to be something, or they won't take you seriously, do you know where the money came from? Li Haoran took out ten yuan and shook it in front of the fat man.
"Okay, you bullie, I'm fooling around like this afternoon. The fat man happily entered the classroom, and was instantly surrounded by the boys in the class, the fat man was like a star, and the smug expression on his face was self-evident, and even the boys in the outer class stood at the door of the classroom to find the fat man, and the fat man was busy, and even took out a notebook and began to collect the deposit, just wrote two names, and exposed the essence of his uncultured, ", how did you write your name?"
In the afternoon, between classes, the fat man took a group of boys to the toilet, after the fat man left, the boys in the class instantly decreased by half, and saw Wang Wei standing at the door of the classroom waving, Li Haoran walked out of the classroom.
Wang Wei took out a stack of money with an embarrassed face, "I only got twenty yuan after a long time." ”
"Don't worry, let's do things together, as long as we do things well, we won't be short of money right away. Li Haoran patted Wang Wei on the shoulder and said with relief.
"It's okay if it doesn't affect our next things, I'll mess with you in the future, Brother Hao. Wang Wei stuffed the money into Li Haoran's hand and said solemnly.
"It doesn't matter how much money you have, everyone will be brothers in the future. Li Haoran said with a smile.
In the afternoon four classes, Li Haoran felt very tormented for the first time, and even felt like sitting on pins and needles, the more difficult it was, the slower it felt that time would pass, and finally it was time for class to end, Li Haoran walked out of the classroom, and Cheng Tang walked over with a smile on his face with a bun, "The matter has been done, let's go over together after school in the afternoon." ”
"What's the price?" Li Haoran asked curiously.
"If you buy more, it's cheaper, I told him to take three hundred yuan of goods first, two good quality goods, and five bad quality pieces, I talked for a long time, and I negotiated this price. Cheng Tang had excitement on his face, the two pieces of five outside were the same price, and the boss sometimes wanted to embarrass others for two pieces of five, especially some tapes deliberately sold for three pieces, just because this kind of tape was more popular.
The price of the stall outside, two good quality five five boxes, a slightly worse quality one five five boxes, poor quality materials are inferior plastics, you can clearly see the impurities in the plastic in your hands, and you can break it if you accidentally drop it on the ground.
"I estimate that by the end of school in the afternoon, plus the one hundred and fifty yuan from your side, I can make up about five hundred, and I will go to buy five hundred yuan to test the water in the afternoon. Li Haoran opened his mouth to discuss.
", what should I do if I lose so much after I buy so much?" Cheng Tang said in surprise.
"This kind of thing belongs to as long as you get it, you are not afraid that there will be no market, it's not that I told you, now the fat man has collected nearly a hundred yuan just for the deposit. When Li Haoran was flickering, Xiaochuan didn't know where to come from, handed over five yuan, and said, "A boy in the fourth class just gave it." Li Haoran didn't wait for Xiaochuan to continue to explain, and waved his hand directly at Xiaochuan, "You go to the classroom first, and I'll look for you later." ”
Xiao Chuan took the money and went to the classroom depressed, Xiao Chuan happened to make up for it, and looked at Cheng Tang and Baozi with a surprised face.
"Grass, that's how you collect money?" Baozi's eyes widened.
"Alas, there is no way, the family can't come up with the money, so they can only fool like this. Li Haoran stretched out his hand and put it on Cheng Tang's shoulder and said, "Grass, it's funny for you, you believe it!"
"Lao Tzu almost believed in you. Cheng Tang angrily punched Li Haoran, and his face was slightly normal.
"Okay, we'll talk after school, I'll go to the classroom first. Li Haoran smiled and said hello to the two, then turned around and went back to the classroom.
Sitting in the seat, his heart that was still restless instantly calmed down, just now Cheng Tang's face was a little different when he heard Li Haoran receive the deposit, how to raise money is his own business, Cheng Tang seemed to be a little unhappy.
Back in the classroom, Li Haoran took the five-yuan bill from Xiao Chuan's hand, "Which boy in class 4 is giving you money?" Li Haoran asked suspiciously.
"He said it was protection money, and he just stuffed it into me. Ogawa said casually.
"Then you don't need to give so much, don't you tell him to give too much?" Li Haoran returned the money to Xiao Chuan, "Give him the money and tell him that he can't use so much." ”
"Grass, I gave it to me when I went to the toilet just now, I didn't see my face clearly, I didn't tell my name, and a pit friend next to me said that it was from the fourth class, but I don't even know which class the pit friend is now. Xiao Chuan's face was depressed.
"Wait for the fat man to come back and let the fat man take it. Li Haoran stretched out his hand to support his cheeks.
"You're not happy to pick up five dollars for nothing?" Xiao Chuan pouted excitedly.
"Pick it up for nothing?" Li Haoran turned his head to look at Xiao Chuan and said, "Remember in the future, there is no free lunch in the world, and there will be no pies." He gave us protection money, we have to cover him, in case he asks us for help in two days, do you say we help or not?"
"Help, why don't you help, the protection fee has been collected, and if you don't help, it will be looked down upon. Xiao Chuan obviously hadn't understood it yet, and there was excitement on his face.
Li Haoran sighed helplessly, "If that kid provokes a bastard we can't afford to mess with, and then looks for us to cover it, what do you say to do then?"
"Isn't it over if you give him the money?" said Xiaochuan unceremoniously.
"Do you think that if you return the money to him, you will be done? To be a man is to be trustworthy, and if you accept his money, you have to cover him, this is a signboard. Seeing Xiao Chuan's nod of understanding, Li Haoran continued: "Look at it, this kid will definitely come over and take the initiative to find us in two days, and then things will definitely be a troublesome matter, after this hurdle, we will be much smoother in the future, if we can't get over this hurdle, it means that we are not suitable to be bastards, and we should study hard in the future." ”
When the class was about to start, the teacher walked into the classroom early, and after the first two days of learning, he didn't even have a class schedule. The teacher had a biology textbook between his elbows, and he was a kind-faced old man, in his fifties, wearing reading glasses, who first looked down at the students in the class when he came to the podium. After a while, I looked at it again, and I felt that the students had almost arrived and started the class, and the class bell had not yet rang, and the teacher was lecturing on it, and the students came in one after another.
The class bell rang, and the fat man was the last to walk into the classroom, and when he walked to the door of the classroom, he was stopped by the biology teacher, "I came here after class, what did you do?" The biology teacher stopped writing on the blackboard and stared at the fat man at the door.
If it's an ordinary classmate, the reason is just to go to the toilet or something, and the fat man's casual reason is seamless, "I had a question in the last math class, and the math teacher didn't let me come over until the end of class." ”
