Newcomers and new books, it is not easy, every click of yours, every collection, every recommendation is very important to the author, ask for collection, ask for recommendation, thank you.
With Tang Yaoming's example, the fellows who have met one after another basically asked Father Li to help buy a car, who taught everyone to know that Father Li is a good person, of course, Li Shiyu basically came forward later, and Father Li and Mother Li can't give up their own things just because they help.
Every time, I took several people to go, lasted more than ten days, and finally completed the task, got a lot of engine oil back, and the money was more than 5,000, this money Li Mu wanted to take back, but Li Shiyu strongly refused, Li Mu also gave up temporarily, thinking about when to find a reason.
In fact, now Li Shiyu didn't think of anything that needed money, but how could a man have no money in his pocket, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't put a few yuan.
The villagers have bought tricycles, and the Li family has lost the advantage of time, and now they mainly rely on collecting scrap, and the range of activities is much larger than before, and their income has not been affected.
The days went on and on, and more than 3 months passed in a blink of an eye.
"Dad, there's nowhere to put the TV, it's all piled up. "During this period of time, I was able to receive TV sets every day, and the empty room was already full, and I didn't count how many Li Shiyu there were, I believe there should be two or three hundred units.
Although the number is large, it doesn't actually cost much, one is only about ten yuan, and the most is not more than fifteen, which is really not much.
"Then put it in your room. "Father Li didn't expect to receive so much, they are all good TVs, none of them are bad, and the bad ones are all sold at the acquisition station, and now I'm worried about what to do, it's really reluctant to sell waste products after such a good TV.
Li Shiyu looked at these TVs and was worried, they were all piled up in his room, it will be seven or eight months until the New Year, and I don't know how much I can collect, I don't want to occupy my nest when the time comes, and there are so many of my fellow villagers, even if each person buys one, it will be one or two hundred at most, and there are still some troubles that may not necessarily be bought, think about this is really a problem.
People are forced out, Li Shiyu has experienced later generations, other talents, not to mention technology, but this vision is still there. After thinking about it for a night, I felt that there was a way that should work.
The next morning.
"Dad, it's not a problem that these TVs are piled up here like this, and now the weather is humid, and I'm afraid it will break if I don't use it for too long. ”
Since bringing his youngest son to Shenshen, there have been great changes compared to last year, and it seems to be related to this younger son inadvertently, so Father Li pays more and more attention to Li Shiyu's thoughts: "Tell me, what do you think?"
"I found that there are more and more construction sites now, and there are more and more migrant workers, who usually don't work at night and don't have much entertainment, so I thought we could rent out the TV to them. Li Shiyu said simply.
Father Li thought for a while: "I don't know if this is okay, no one has done it before, why don't we go to the construction site and ask first?"
Father Li then asked, "Do you have any specific ideas?"
Li Shiyu has basically thought about it, and this matter is actually not complicated: "I think so, we rent the TV to them, the black and white one pays a deposit of 200 yuan, and the rent is charged one yuan per day, and the color one pays 300 yuan, two yuan a day, and it will be deducted from the deposit, and when the TV will be returned, the rest of the money will be refunded." ”
Li's father is an old high school student, and his IQ is naturally not low, so he immediately understood the profits, these TVs are cheap, as long as they are rented out, they can be repaid in a month, and the rest is earned. At that time, hundreds of TVs, with an income of one or two hundred yuan a day, do nothing, more than a whole day of hard work for a family of three.
"Then what if the TV breaks, how can that be calculated?" Li's father is also from a poor family, so he naturally knows what the workers think, and if this problem is not solved, everyone will not dare to rent.
"We can sign a contract with them first, stipulating that as long as it is not man-made, we will be responsible, and I am sure they will not go out of their way to break it. ”
"Yes" In the eyes of Li's father, everyone's conduct is good.
In fact, this is true, the 90s have not been completely destroyed by money, it can be said that it is the last age of innocence.
Of course, there were special cases in that era, and you can't be too entangled if you want to make things happen.
"Now there's the question of how to get these workers to believe that we are not lying to them to buy televisions. Li Shiyu raised a problem that is not easy to find, and this problem does not necessarily become a problem, but Li Shiyu doesn't want his parents to work so hard to pick up waste every day, so he deliberately said this to pave the way for the future.
Father Li thinks too, if he doesn't trust others like this: "We have a lot of fellow villagers doing things here, so let's find them, they are all fellow villagers, and they should be able to talk better." ”
This is actually true, when you go out, it is indeed much easier to talk when you meet fellow villagers, but if you do this, Li Shiyu's plan will be in vain: "Fellow villagers can have all construction sites there, so you still have to think of other ways." ”
Mother Li also joined the thinking camp and fell silent for a while.
"Why don't we open a shop?" said Father Li suddenly.
This made Li Shiyu a little surprised, although he was going to bring it up, but he was really impressed by being proposed by his father, who has always been conservative.
"Open a store, can we?" Mother Li had never thought about doing business, and was a little unconfident: "And what does this have to do with opening a store?"
Father Li explained: "I see those who talk about business, they all say that they are what kind of company, what manager, director, I think we can also open a store, and then I am the manager, you are the general manager, and it is easy to believe it."
And there is a fixed place, if others don't believe it, take him to the store to see, and it will definitely be fine. ”
"Can you make money?" Mother Li asked for money first, as long as she could make money, she could do anything.
"Of course you can, no worse than you pick up waste. The more Father Li talked, the more he felt that this thing could be done.
Li Shiyu also helped beside him: "One or two hundred a day is still no problem." ”
Two to one, Mother Li had to agree.
"Then let's stop picking up waste today and see where we can rent a storefront. "Although there are more waste products collected than picked up now, Father Li is still used to picking up waste.
"You still have to rent a storefront, doesn't that cost you more money, can't you just open it here?" Li Mu felt distressed when she heard that it would cost money.
Li Shiyu was really convinced of her mother's stinginess, but she still had to enlighten: "Mom, this place is too remote, you have to take someone to see it and walk for half an hour, an hour, who will come with you." ”
Regardless of whether he agreed or not, he followed Li's father and went out, but Li's mother had no choice but to go out.
