Chapter 22: The Harvest of Apples
There are a lot of people in college, so there are more businesses around college students. From photocopying and printing on campus, to dining and entertainment outside the campus.
Basically, outside every university, there is a street dedicated to food, and Lu Tao's school is no exception.
A few roommates discussed the place to come out to meet, and it was on this road called Food Street.
The last time he was shabu mutton, Brother Long went home, which could be regarded as the first real roommate gathering after Lu Tao's rebirth. Since everyone helped during the day, and Lu Tao also earned some money during this time, he planned to invite everyone to a meal.
Six people, wrapped tightly, walked out talking and laughing all the way.
"Li Hong, would you like to get you a chicken rack first?" At the beginning of the street, there were several carts, smoke-filled with them, and vendors wrapped in thick cotton clothes were roasting chicken racks and the like.
"No, I'm still waiting for a big meal. Li Hong was usually very reluctant to spend money, swallowed his saliva, and refused Rong Chao's temptation.
"I said we hadn't been together for a long time, and we had some wine tonight. "Although Brother Long's family is relatively poor, his personality is still relatively cheerful, and he is also relatively tall, and he said on the side.
"Okay, anyway, Lu Tao has a treat tonight, haha. ”
With money to spare, don't panic in your heart, this principle is very suitable for the current Lu Tao.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile: "Eat as much as you like tonight, and you can't drink less wine." ”
It is cold in the north, and there are not many people who drink beer at the party, and they are all young and vigorous, and no one at the wine table is willing to admit it, so they drink 56 degrees of Red Star Erguotou.
The meal can be described as in full swing, and after drinking, several people talk a lot, dissatisfied with the school, worried about the future, and have to take it to the wine table to talk nonsense.
Seeing that everyone was drunk, Lu Tao went to the counter to settle the bill in advance. Six people spent a total of more than 200 yuan, and one person is close to 50, in this prefecture-level city with an average salary of only six or seven hundred, it is already relatively luxurious to eat half a month's salary at once.
Extravagance also has consequences, and the consequences are manifested the next morning.
looked at Li Hong, who was still asleep, and the snoring sound of Rong Chao on the opposite side, Lu Tao, who got out of bed, rubbed his forehead.
Erguotou's strength is still too big, he didn't drink very much, but he was really happy last night, plus a few roommates have been persuading, and then he drank too much, and now his head hurts badly.
It hurts, and a few roommates can sleep in the dormitory unscrupulously, but he can't.
Tonight is Christmas Eve, and he must give away all the apples in the packs within today, and then send them later, which will definitely give people a different feeling. I don't have a car now, so I can only run back and forth on my feet, and if I don't go in the morning, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish the afternoon.
If you want to make money and make a fortune, no matter what you do, in the initial stage, it is more difficult. No one can succeed casually, and under the bowls of good-looking chicken soup, there is always hidden effort and persistence that ordinary people can't imagine.
There is no relationship in the family, there is no money, you have to rely on yourself, even if you have vision and insight beyond ordinary people, but this first pot of gold has to be earned by him Lu Tao himself.
I packed the apples in a large army-green package, and each of them carried a bag in each hand, and then went out.
The cold wind is biting, and the exhaled air can be seen in the air, and the fluff on the lips can see crystal beads.
"Merry Christmas, brother. Knocking on the door, Lu Tao's forehead was already covered with sweat, his mouth was slightly panting, and he said to the senior brother who opened the door with a smile on his face.
"Oh, Lu Tao, what are you doing here, come in and drink some water. ”
"No, senior brother, isn't this Christmas Eve tonight, everyone eat an apple and be safe. I'll have to go to another dorm, so we'll have a good talk next time. Lu Tao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.
"Thank you then. “
"Senior brother is polite, one for each person, with a lot of support in the future, if you need to contact me at any time, you can ensure that you are on call. Lu Tao waved his hand and ran to another dormitory.
"You can rest assured, junior brother, I will be allowed to look for you if I need to do so in the future. “
The voice behind him made Lu Tao feel a little happy in his heart. People are like this, move around more, communicate more, otherwise they will forget, and the competition will become more and more fierce in the future, and he must do this first step.
For a whole day, Lu Tao ran all over the graduate dormitory and doctoral apartment, during which he went back to the dormitory more than ten times, and finally gave away all the apples, and he was a little tired.
But the effect is not bad, in addition to maintaining the relationship, there is also an additional gain, that is, some more orders have been obtained, and someone has already started to introduce customers to him.
It only cost a few hundred dollars to buy an apple, but once the apple is given away, it brings more information than that.
"Have you been to the Academy of Life Sciences over there? I have a fellow over there, who knows me very well, and when the time comes, I'll tell him, and if he has something to buy in the future, I'll come to you directly." “
"I have a classmate, but is a bachelor's degree, has graduated to work, in a chemical factory in the city to do quality inspection, I heard that he usually buys a lot of consumables, I give him his landline to you, you are very contacted, just say I introduced. ”
"We have a lot of money in our laboratory recently, but isn't this the end of the year, I haven't spent it before, I'm afraid that the school will take it back directly, is there a way for you here?"
While giving apples to the seniors one by one, Lu Tao was busy helping people solve problems, and at the end of the day, no less than 15 scattered lists had been written down in the small book, and there were several additional lists that were intended to take the situation of advance payment.
Generally, when purchasing equipment, 50% or 70% will be paid in advance after signing the contract, after all, the amount is relatively large, and there are follow-up installation and maintenance warranties and other issues. But because at the end of the year, the school's financial side is about to close the accounts, and it will definitely be too late to buy equipment, and I am afraid that the funds will be recovered, so for this part of the funds, Lu Tao's method is to issue invoices as quickly as possible, and then the students will report the accounts, as long as the money is transferred to the company's account, as for what he will buy later, it will be said after next year.
There are advantages and disadvantages to this method, the advantage is that after the money is put into the manufacturer, Lu Tao is equivalent to having received the money at the beginning, and the share he negotiated with the manufacturer can be directly carried out in accordance with the proportion;
Of course, this is mainly an emergency method to prevent the funds from being recovered.
Lu Tao, who dragged his sore legs back to the dormitory, opened the small notebook of the record, and the direct order amount was about more than 20,000 yuan, all of which were consumables with fast delivery speed, and there was no time to delay.
Some of the classmates introduced by the customer have to go to the back to slowly contact and run, and after a trip, it is really more profitable, in fact, it is still this advance.
The order is more than 20,000, and the share he can get is only 2,000 at the top, but this advance payment is more than 80,000.
What does this mean? It means that the customer directly paid more than 80,000 yuan in cash, although he also wants to buy things later, but this commission can be obtained in a few days, and the share of the advance payment is also higher, roughly calculated, at least 10,000 yuan, that is, he just paid a few hundred yuan for apples, and got more than 10,000 yuan.
The deal was worth it, and it was well worth it.
Looking at the numbers above, Lu Tao couldn't help laughing, his head didn't hurt anymore, his legs didn't ache anymore, and instead, he felt a great sense of satisfaction and happiness.
