Chapter 35 Finding a Channel
Vertical day, Saturday.
Arrived at the station at 6:40 in the morning, Er Feng was already waiting in the waiting hall, for today's trip to the provincial capital, Er Feng did not go home last night, lived directly in the school, and arrived at the station half an hour earlier than we agreed on the time.
I don't dare to delay all the way, after all, it takes six hours to take a bus from the provincial capital to go back and forth, and the time to do things in the provincial capital is actually only four to five hours, and I have to eat and find a place in the middle.
Shaking all the way, dazed all the way, at nine o'clock in the afternoon and close to ten o'clock, the car arrived in the provincial capital ZZ City, because I had been to the place where the book was published in the last time and space, so I pulled Er Feng to the destination.
Er Feng wondered.
"Xiaobai, do you know the place?
I said directly.
"I know, just come with me, don't care, let's do things first, this will be a little time before lunch, I'm really hungry, I'll eat when I get to the ground"
Er Feng is also a neat person, after listening to me, he didn't speak, he followed me step by step, to tell the truth, it was not easy to come out to do things, the two of us in the last time and space, sunburned as dogs on the road! A bottle of mineral water does not quench your thirst after a sip of dry, but this time, we must not repeat the mistakes of the past!
Out of the station door, directly called a taxi, the last time and space was poor, the bus ran around and could not find a place, and finally forced a march on foot for nearly five kilometers, every person asked, only to finally find a place, found a place is close to three o'clock in the afternoon, the sloppy talk is over, and that time because of limited funds, a total of only 1,000 yuan, not to mention the types of books, there are still a lot of lack of publications, in general it is a failure.
Before this came, I spent 10,000 yuan from the card my dad gave me, which was enough for this time.
I got in the car, said the name of the place, and it was nearly half an hour's drive, and the place was in a small town at the junction of urban and rural areas, which was nothing, and the place was still in the last row of houses in this town.
Arrive at the ground, get off the car, pay, look at this small house called the warehouse more than the façade, remember that this was once a gathering place for books, not to mention seven or eight more there may be more than a dozen, now looking at the lonely façade room in front of me, which is piled up with all kinds of magazines, I thought, it seems that the book industry has not been done yet, otherwise there will not be only this one.
Walk into the house, the middle of both sides is full of dense books, only in the middle of the side there is a sheep intestine path, but also crooked, see the two of us walk in, the boss is still very surprised, the business of the book, basically is the customer telephone transaction, what books, how many sets, customer remittance, the boss received the payment before sending logistics, the store to the field survey is very few.
The boss saw that although the two of us had doubts, he still said politely.
"Hey, hello, I'm this boss, how can I help you?"
I pulled out a Hong Kong and Taiwan playboy-like magazine from the pile of books, and read Er Fengdao, who was fascinated.
"Let's get some books to sell, boss, what do you say about the price?"
The boss was a little pleased.
"Oh, you're here for wholesale, huh?"
Er Feng preemptively said.
"Yes, wholesale"
The boss was even happier and spoke.
"That's okay, that's okay, let's talk inside, I'll pour a glass of water"
I hurriedly waved my hand.
"No, no, just say it here, let's solve it quickly"
The boss hesitated.
"Okay, look at my brother is also a happy person, I will also pay the bottom, then in this way, these magazines and periodicals are sold at 3 yuan a copy, we are 2 yuan a copy of the retail of the old periodicals, and I will give you 1.5 yuan a copy for other purchases, and I will also give you this price."
I feigned displeasure.
"Boss, when we came, we all inquired, your 1.5 yuan, a bit of a bully!
The boss hurriedly laughed.
"Haha, my name is Lang Shuang, my brothers call me an old wolf, what do you call the little brother, hahahaha, it seems that the little brother has done his homework, then I won't come to the void, give you a price for other purchases, 1.2 yuan, this is okay, right?"
As he spoke, he handed each of us a cigarette, and I was not polite, so I lit it and said to the boss.
"Brother Wolf, we are all students, and books are also sold to students, the main thing is to seek welfare for students, and we will not compete with the market for books sold in society, and we are not small, you have to look at the face of the students, and then drop it a little! Look at Brother Wolf's age, the child must also be in school, right?"
Brother Wolf pondered for a while and spoke.
"How much do you want?"
I made a one-to-one comparison.
Brother Wolf looked at me and said.
"A thousand?"
I laughed.
"Ten thousand!"
Brother Wolf was a little shocked.
"Obediently, your family is not afraid that you will lose?"
I pretended to be a little bitter.
"No, I just want to make a benefit for my classmates, I don't plan to make money, and my family is also looking at this, thinking that let me practice my hands, which can be regarded as a good deed, so ah, Brother Wolf, this price has to be pressed."
When Brother Wolf heard this, he immediately said a little impulsively.
"Cheng, don't say anything, brother should also be regarded as a good deed, you take such a big risk, just show the students, your wolf brother also has children, just in junior high school, I should also do a good deed for the child, I will give you a price, I can't tell don't tell it! 1 yuan! can't be lower"
I hurriedly said to Brother Wolf with a smile on my face.
"Thank you so much, Brother Wolf, what about the book?
Brother Wolf gritted his teeth and said.
"Listening to your accent, it's also in the province, your brother wolf is a good person to the end, and I will drive you over"
I hurriedly said.
"That's a good feeling, haha, thank you Brother Wolf, don't be depressed, you just give us a piece, you also have money to earn, don't lose, and do a good thing, kill two birds with one stone, my place hasn't been vacated yet, in this way, Brother Wolf, leave you 2000 before, it's a deposit, I'll remember your number, I'll vacate the land, call you, and you send it over"
Brother Wolf also smiled and agreed.
This is over, and Er Feng asked me with a confused face.
"We sent him money, why are you still asking for him?"
I said.
"Don't ask for it, use your identity to win sympathy, strive for a lower price, don't underestimate the 2 cents, a book of two cents, a hundred copies? We have 10,000 copies this time, you can count it yourself."
After the work was done, I was not in a hurry to go back, I got on the bus, arrived at the station slowly, and arrived home at 8 o'clock in the evening.
