Chapter Four: Profiteer Li Jiaming (II)
As night fell, Li Jiaming not only received the distant cousin's family today, but also pulled a whole afternoon of saws with several owners who were interested in renting a store. After sending off the last boss who persuaded him to reduce the price, Li Jiaming returned upstairs to finish the cold rice and vegetables, picked up his schoolbag and took Mao Tong to school.
Now is the time for the tenant to ask the landlord, and if you want to rent the right price, you have to hold it, and Li Jiaming is all too familiar with these business tricks.
Junior high school students have to study on their own in the evening, but on the day of the start of school, Li Jiaming arrived at the door of the classroom of the first (1) class of junior high school, and he was chasing and fighting inside. Junior high school is different from primary school, junior high school is divided into fast and slow classes, and all good grades are placed in the first, second, and third (1) classes, and the school will also assign the best teachers to these three fast classes, which is to count on the high school entrance examination to take a few more small secondary schools, key high schools, and ordinary high schools.
Li Jiaming used to be the boss of the primary school, and naturally he was the boss of the first year of junior high school.
"Discuss something with everyone, if you want to play in the future, go outside to play, don't make trouble in the classroom, okay?"
After Li Jiaming finished speaking, a few people who were having a good time stuck out their tongues and returned to their seats pretending to read. After waiting for a while, the boys saw that the boss had already put on his ears and made the test papers, so they immediately went out to play lightly.
As soon as a "Solid Geometry" test paper was completed, Li Jiaming rubbed his sour eyes, stabbed twice on his waist, and took off the headphones in his ears.
"Jiaming"
"What's wrong again?"
You don't need to open your eyes, Li Jiaming knows that it is Zhang Shaolong's guy.
"You know, Liu Shasha is in the same class as us. ”
"What's my business?"
As soon as Li Jiaming's words came out, he immediately opened his eyes and wondered: "Didn't she take the first place in the first year of junior high school last time, and she wants to go directly to the second year of junior high school?"
"Hey, did you say she came for me and Sister Ju? Last time in the county, we offended her, she didn't want to take revenge on us, right? I listened to two cram students from Chashan, that girl's revenge scared people to death!"
Although Liu Shasha's goblin did not appear in the primary school, everyone still paid attention to that beautiful girl, and many of them named her the school flower. Touched by Li Jiaming's light, Mao Tong, who was also in class 1 (1), immediately became energetic, threw down the homework at hand, turned his head from the front row, and whispered gossipy: "Long Yan, what's wrong with you? Hehe, did you write a love letter to her?"
That's right, this kid is fifteen or sixteen years old, and he has reached Sichun's age.
Li Jiaming funnily pushed his sweat-stained face to the side, and said happily: "At that time, I asked the two of you to accumulate virtue in your mouth, but now you are afraid?"
"I'm afraid of a fart! She's a little girl, and she can eat me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Shaolong saw that his boss and Mao Yan were looking at him with mocking eyes, and whispered with a red face: "I'm really a little afraid, she yes yes (Dad) is the principal, or our class teacher!"
Li Jiaming guessed why Liu Shasha still came to class 1 (1), with her IQ sitting in the second classroom of junior high school and the same as in the first classroom of junior high school, there is a good chance that she came to the gambling contract during the New Year. However, Zhang Shaolong, this guy, is generous and enthusiastic, but his mouth is a little damaging and always offends people, so it's good to let him learn a lesson.
"Okay, okay, be careful what you say and do in the future, just don't let her catch the handle. When her father is the principal, he will pay attention to the influence, and he will have nothing to do and ask someone to beat you?"
"It's too", Zhang Shaolong, who was still nervous just now, breathed a sigh of relief and got up to buy a few popsicles. It's too hot on this day, Zhang Shaolong is a generous person, and he often buys food for his playmates, of course, he usually eats a lot of Li Jiaming.
After a while, Zhang Shaolong grabbed a few popsicles in his hands and came in with a middle-aged man with an old face and plain clothes.
"Jiaming, this is Uncle Zeng who received the mountain goods, he has something to do with you. ”
Li Jiaming, who was giving Mao Tong a homework lecture, looked up and couldn't help but be happy, he and Wu Jianguo met in his store. Yes, he not only collects honey but also mountain goods and herbs, from shiitake mushrooms and fungus to arrowroot, wild pole seeds (quince seeds) and ginkgo biloba that no one pays attention to.
This is a rich man, don't look at his main business is collecting honey, in fact, the most profitable is Yejizi. Others don't know, but the well-informed Li Jiaming knows that although hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds, and cashew nuts are known as the four dried fruits, in the eyes of people who really know the goods, the four kinds of quince shoes that Chongxiang people call wild poles are not worthy. This Zeng boss collects two or three yuan a pound in Chongxiang, and sells it to rich people who know goods outside, at least dozens of yuan a catty, right?
Biting the mung bean popsicle of his younger brother's filial piety, Li Jiaming took the big boss Zeng to the next class, and after blasting away a group of boys playing in it, he said curiously: "Uncle Zeng, you don't have no money, and you don't have a storefront on the street?"
"Hey, don't talk about it. Last year, I happened to deliver the goods, and when I came back, the township had already stipulated that people who were not from the countryside could not buy land on the street to make a house. ”
This is interesting, although he also sells mountain goods, but his main business is to collect mountain goods, and the location of the store is not so important. What's more, the rules are set by people, and naturally they are enforced by people, and it was a group of locals who didn't buy good land that made a lot of noise, so they forced the township to come up with that method to fool people, and he was a businessman who couldn't handle these things? It is estimated that he made a lot of money, and some people in the township wanted him to pay tribute, so they stuck and refused to approve, and let out the wind to prevent people from turning around to help, right? Don't look at this boss Zeng's clothes are not very good, I don't know how much money he has made in the past few years by selling corn. Last time I was in his shop, I saw that the sacks filled with quince were piled up in most of the shed, and I estimated it at four or five tons.
Money is a good thing, but you must also earn it with a solid heart, don't offend people you can't afford to offend. The mansion Yin who destroyed the door, the county order that broke the family, although the people in the township are not so powerful, there are too many ways to embarrass themselves as a scholar.
"Uncle Zeng, who have you offended?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Boss Zeng's eyes, and he immediately covered it up, jokingly: "Jiaming, my uncle is from Zhejiang Province, how dare you offend the locals?"
Then there is no need to talk about it, Li Jiaming got up and said: "Uncle Zeng, I'm just a scholar, not so bold." ”
"Momo, I discussed this matter with your second uncle before, and it was your second uncle who asked me to talk to you. ”
Boss Zeng, who had just come back from the county seat, was served, this guy looked like he was only a teenager, but he was actually better than anyone else, no wonder Li Chuanmin was so relieved that he let him come to him to talk about renting a storefront.
"Uncle Zeng told you the truth, my uncle didn't offend anyone, he had already asked someone to buy land at the end of the street, and he would replace the procedures after it was done. Jiaming, my uncle asked you, did Wang Suhong find you today? Did you promise her?"
Oh, I think about it, I heard the second uncle mention it before, and he wanted to open a children's clothing store with Cousin Feng Su Hong, it was this Zeng boss, it seems that people want to play yin.
Hehe, this thing is fun, since this boss Zeng wants to play tricks, then he can't complain that he sharpens the knife faster.
Li Jiaming thinks that he is not a good person, but he is definitely not a bad person, at most he is a profiteer who does not step on the red line. Not to mention that Wang Suhong is his distant relative, even if it has nothing to do with it, he only thinks about collecting a fair store rent, and he doesn't want to make his family unprofitable. This boss Zeng is different, he has done the first year of junior high school behind his back, so it seems that it is nothing to be a fifteen by himself?
