Chapter XVII
The next day, Lin An came out of the house, first looking for a place to change into the newly bought outfit, and then put on old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses, it was difficult for outsiders to contact him again.
However, he was fifteen years old there, and the clothes and glasses he bought were mature and bonus, not exaggerated disguises, and he took the car to the two manufacturers he contacted earlier, and after meeting, the other party was obviously surprised by his youth.
Fortunately, the other party may think that he stepped into the society early after graduating from high school, and later entered the office, and saw that he talked freely, and had something to say, and was more familiar with the contract of cooperation, so he gradually ignored the perception of age.
It is said to be a contract, but it is actually very informal.
Of course, Lin An's age does not have the effect of signing a formal contract, and the total amount of the transaction negotiated is only a little more than 10,000 yuan.
The production of umbrellas and socks is simple, it is rare to customize the style, and the manufacturer told the total amount of goods in the negotiation is not small, and the customization requires a certain production cycle.
Lin An had not had much contact with business in his previous life, but he was not ignorant, and he gave in later to increase the price, and the two manufacturers immediately said that they could complete the production of the goods on schedule before the Changxi temple fair. Then, according to the preliminary contract, the details such as the printing of the pattern and the delivery of the goods were determined.
On the weekend of two days, Lin An told his parents that he was going to Sun Can's house to review his homework together, and said hello to Sun Can in advance, going out every morning and coming back on time in the evening. For him, two days were basically wasted in the car, which was also something that could not be helped.
On Sunday afternoon, the second "contract" was signed.
According to the negotiation agreement, the payment method was finally made by Lin An's strong proposal, in the form of advance payment and final payment. Pay half in advance, and the manufacturer will immediately enter the production cycle, and the remaining half of the payment will be paid off at the temple fair. The manufacturer was a little hesitant about this, and the goods produced for specific production generally need to be paid in full first, but in the past two days, Lin Anbiao was better than his appearance, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally agreed.
With two contracts, Lin An said goodbye to the manufacturer, boarded the car to Shonan City, and showed his fatigue when he sat down.
The two manufacturers are not too large-scale, and the short-term rush to work on this batch of customized goods has attracted the attention of middle management. During the discussion, he was afraid that the voice would make the other party think of age, so he had to try his best to dominate the scene, and even deliberately said more about the business concept.
Otherwise, once the age is recognized, not to mention whether the payment method will be agreed, it will be a question whether the cooperation can continue to be negotiated. Who will accompany such a young underage child to talk about any business, even if there is money to be made, you have to contact the parents to rest assured.
So much so that later, a manufacturer actually approached him privately and asked if he was interested in joining their company.
After the transaction is negotiated, we will wait for the manufacturer to produce the goods, and then wait for the arrival of the Changxi temple fair.
Lin Andong felt much more relaxed, and this ease did not mean that the money in the backpack was almost gone. He deposited 6,000 yuan in the front, and he took it out the next day, together with the New Year's money savings, a total of more than 7,000 yuan, removing the outfit bought by "supporting the façade", and then deducting the advance payment to the two factories, there was less than 1,000 yuan left.
With the rest of the money, he had already planned the use of it.
Waiting for the manufacturer to inform the production of goods, first to rent a warehouse that can store goods for a short time in the county, but also to find a temporary shop in the main street where the temple fair is held, the focus is on smooth traffic, and there will be no congestion due to a large number of people. If these conditions are met, it is estimated that it will only be rented for three days, and the price will not be cheap.
In the end, he had to hire a few temporary clerks before the temple fair, and Lin An couldn't be busy at all, and besides, he wasn't going to show up.
When Lingshui Town arrived, there were also many people who came to the temple fair, and his "mature" outfit couldn't play a camouflage role at all, and once it was passed on to his family, or relatives and friends at home, he couldn't think of any reasonable explanation to deal with.
When he arrived in Xiangnan, he first found a place to change back to his usual clothes, and after Lin An took a long-distance bus to Changxi County, he unconsciously transferred to the bus and went to No. 2 Middle School. When he got off the bus at the school gate, he realized that it was the weekend, and then he walked "by" the Nguyen Minh optical store.
Not as lucky as last time, he walked outside the store and found that Ruan Ruan was not there, and Ruan Ruan's parents were also not there, but he inadvertently collided with Sister Tang Xiaonan who was standing behind the cash register, and then walked towards the bus stop in the distance without stopping.
On Monday, sitting in the classroom, listening to the low noise of reciting the formulas of the text, Lin An felt a little confused. In just two days of weekends, it was like an identity switching back and forth between the past life and the present.
At the morning meeting of the morning exercise, he was not called by name, and he did not receive a call from the head teacher at home.
In the first class, of course, it refers to this tablemate and class leader who has always had a cold face, from morning self-study to school in the morning, if he didn't turn his head from time to time to look twice, he didn't know that there was still a person sitting next to him.
After school, Sun Can shouted in the back to go to the Internet café.
Lin An had the intention to go online to see if there was any email in the mailbox, and after seeing Li Man's cold face next to him, he decided to wait for the limelight and then go quietly, at least it didn't seem to be intentionally challenging someone's patience. Therefore, as soon as Sun Can finished shouting, he immediately refused loudly and solemnly.
or has not fully adapted to the student life of "returning to the past", every day when he goes to and from school, Lin An rarely takes a schoolbag. To be precise, I haven't carried it for the past few days, and my schoolbag and books have been left in the drawer of my desk.
Standing not far from outside the school, after waiting for a while, Li Man, who went to the office to hand over the mock test papers done in the class, came out and saw him carrying a schoolbag to meet him, Li Man seemed to be surprised to glance down.
Lin An followed, "Squad leader, thank you for helping me ask for leave again!"
"The classmates in the class have a 'legitimate reason', as long as it is inconvenient, I will give me substitute leave, and you also call me the class president!" Li Man glanced at the distance between Lin An and her, which was not close, so he would not be too disgusted.
It's just not too disgusting, it's more of a troubled and unhappy feeling. Usually after school, she goes home alone, and on the way back, many people walk next to her, feeling very uncomfortable. If I didn't think that this table mate could still save it, I definitely wouldn't have put up with it.
Hearing the heavy bite of the word "justification", Lin An lowered his head and opened his schoolbag, and smiled silently with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. After raising his head with a smile, he took out a few reference books from his school bag, "Look, I went to the county seat that day to buy it, and my relatives called to tell me that if I went late, I guess I wouldn't be able to grab it, and there are a lot of new exercises on it that I haven't done." ”
In the morning, he pushed a thick stack of books on the table to disturb himself, because he wanted to talk about this. Li Man glanced at it, the books were very new, and they were also reference materials for review. His face softened slightly, but in the eyes of Lin An next to him, it was just a little less cold.
Li Man was about to withdraw his gaze, noticing that there were two larger books under the stack of reference books, judging from the exposed color pages, these were definitely extracurricular books. The surging responsibilities of the squad leader made her feel the need to ask more, "What's at the bottom?"
"This is ......" Lin An put away the reference book, leaving two magazines in his hand, the model girl with a slightly sexy dress on the cover was very conspicuous, he scratched his forehead, "There are a lot of people in the bookstore, and it is too crowded when I pay, I don't know who fell into my book, but I found it when I came back." If only it hadn't been troublesome......"
A cold color appeared in Li Man's eyes, she pursed her lips and turned her head to look at Lin An. The first time I made my attitude clear, I hope the other party doesn't do such boring things. Students should focus on their studies, and for the rest, at least after they are admitted to university, preferably until they graduate from university.
Facing Li Man's cold gaze, Lin An smiled bitterly and said sincerely, "I really don't mean anything else." In the past two days, I have been scared, afraid of being seen by my father and mother. After the high school entrance examination, it should be fine, and you can give me a ...... together."
The magazine was bought by Lin An in southern Hunan, and he has been with him for many years and knows Li Man's preferences. There are also fashion magazines for sale in bookstores in Lingshui Town, but the content inside is not flattering, and today's more professional and top-notch fashion magazines can basically only be bought in first- and second-tier cities.
In order to make up the reason for taking a leave of absence, he passed by Shonan, and went to the largest book city in the city, during which he accidentally found that this fashion magazine was also on sale. This is a very famous fashion magazine in the previous life, I remember that long after graduation, Li Man still likes to read this magazine.
At the checkout, he asked the clerk, but unfortunately there was only one issue left from last month, so he bought two copies and came back!
After looking at Lin An's gaze quietly for two seconds, Li Man looked down at the two magazines. In Lingshui Town, this magazine is impossible to buy, and it is lucky to be able to buy it in the county seat. In the past, I used to buy every issue in Yanjing, but I haven't read it for a long time.
Seeing that Lin An wanted to open her mouth and continue to say something, Li Man took the magazine with a little hesitation, she turned her face away, and said coldly, "Don't do such a boring thing anymore." ”
"Yes, yes, thank you. By the way, thank you one more time, I may have to ask you to help me take a leave of absence this week!" Lin An laughed, seeing Li Man's squinting eyes and glancing coldly, his laughter immediately became sneering, and he hurriedly said, "Just kidding, just kidding!"
