Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Little Gain
Early the next morning, Dou Qiu rubbed his scarlet eyes, stood up and patted the sawdust on his body. clenched his fists excitedly. With the tools at hand, plus a bunch of blanks made by bear children, he carved out 30 sets of chess pieces in one night, which is 60 yuan! In the past, he didn't necessarily earn half of this money in a month. Dou Qiu took a cigarette in his mouth and began to look forward to a happy life in the future.
It's a pity that within half an hour, Li Guodong poured cold water on Dou Qiu: "What? You don't want it? ”
Li Guodong said: "You also know, there are more than a dozen people in my Li family gang, where do I use so many games and chess with 30 sets?" But your chess work is good, I think, you should go to the school gate to sell it, you should be able to sell it. ”
Dou Qiu frowned slightly, he had been demoted once, many people in the school knew him, and when he met those nasty ghosts who were screaming at "downgrading bags and stealing knives", would he be angry or not?
But now the form is stronger than the person, and in order to sell his chess, he had to wait at the school gate. At this time, the school was not closed, and after each class, students would sneak out of the school gate and buy toys and snacks on wooden carts pushed by vendors.
He arrived at the school gate at 9 o'clock in the morning, because he had not slept all night last night, and he reclined under a tree and took a nap with a set of sample chess sets in front of him. Within a few minutes, Dou Qiu suddenly felt that someone was gently pushing him, and he opened his eyes suddenly, and there was a short and fat old woman in front of him.
Seeing that Dou Qiu woke up, she grinned and said, "Student, how do you sell your chess?" ”
Dou Qiu was stunned, he didn't expect that the first person who asked him to buy game chess turned out to be an old grandmother, but he still introduced: "This is called "Red Scarf Adventure", and it is a game chess played by many people. 2 yuan a set. ”
The old grandmother said, "Of course I know it's a game of chess," she pointed to the stall behind her, and said, "I still sell football chess, which is also 2 yuan a set, but that chess piece is not as good as yours." ”
Dou Qiu suddenly said: "You want to use my chess to resell?" That's okay, I have a total of 30 sets here, and I'll give you a piece of eight sets. ”
The old grandmother shook her head and said: "I won't tell you, the price of the football chess I sell is only two cents, and a set can earn eight cents, if I sell your chess pieces can only earn 2 cents, how can I do it?" ”
Dou Qiu thought for a while and said: "Then let's do it, I'll sell you for seven yuan, and then you sell it for 2 yuan and 5, and one will also earn 8 cents?" ”
The old grandmother disagreed, the more expensive the toy, the worse the sales, and she didn't want to put a bunch of things in her hands. So the two began to bargain, and in the end, Dou Qiu gave in and sold 1 fast 5 sets, and at the same time promised not to supply other vendors near the school.
Selling chess, although it is not as much as 2 yuan as expected, but fortunately, it saves time and effort, and he can invest more time to make more sets of chess pieces. A teenager has such a business acumen, and it can only be said that Dou Qiu is really suitable for business.
Dou Qiu carried 45 yuan, went to the store and spent 5 yuan to buy a stack of cardboard. Because the grandmother said that if he had a box, he could raise it by another dime......
That night, Dou Qiu found a few children outside the residential area. Now it is really much more comfortable, several children are not only obedient and can endure hardships, but their hands-on ability is much stronger than that of the pampered children in the sixth factory. Especially one of them, Lin Dawei, can even carve chess pieces similar to Dou Qiu's. Dou Qiu hesitated for a moment, but decided to give him a part of the carving work.
With Lin Dawei's help, Dou Qiu only worked until 1 o'clock in the second half of the night this night, but he made 60 sets of chess pieces and used the chessboard he bought. It seems that tomorrow I am going to buy a chessboard again, Dou Qiu is excitedly lying on the bed tossing and turning, or, tomorrow I will find a girl to help fold the cardboard box? Some future capitalist is beginning to discover the benefits of exploiting people......
"Well, this should be given to you!" On Saturday night, when production had completely stabilized, he asked Li Gang to call Zhang Zhao. This kid has been staying at home all day since he got a few novels last week, and he never moves the place when no one shouts.
Zhang Zhao's neck was a little sore when he read the book, and he took the big unity handed by Dou Qiu and counted it: "165 yuan, it seems that you have earned a lot?" ”
Dou Qiu said proudly: "It's okay, a total of 220 sets have been sold in the past four days, if it weren't for the production not being able to keep up, there would be more." ”
Zhang Zhao took out two of them, handed the remaining 200 back, and said, "I'll leave two of them to buy books at Xinxia Bookstore tomorrow, and you can buy tools to expand production with the rest." Besides, the next time you calculate the share, remember to remove the cost of hiring people and buying raw materials! ”
Dou Qiu didn't accept the money handed over, waved his hand and said, "Hiring people to buy things is my responsibility, and I must be spending the money." ”
Zhang Zhao feigned anger and said: "If you want to take it back, you will take it back, unless you don't want to use my ideas in the future." Do you know what a joint-stock system is? Now the buying and selling of this game chess is ours, we earn together when we make money, and of course we have to spend it together when we spend money!"
Dou Qiu was still about to resign, Zhang Zhao continued: "The premise of long-term cooperation is mutual benefit, if I only take advantage and don't pay, you may not feel anything now, but what about a few months and a few years?" Since you have set the rule of half of dividends, then relatively, the investment should also be half! ”
"That's fine......" Dou Qiu thought for a while and asked, "But if we have a difference in thinking, who to listen to?" ”
Zhang Zhao smiled slightly: "Of course whoever has the reason to listen to whom......"
Seeing Zhang Zhao's smile, Dou Qiu suddenly felt a chill, could it be that the wind is a little strong today?
The next day, it was Sunday again. Zhang Zhao went to visit the Xinxia bookstore again, and in addition to the idle books he read to pass the time, he also bought a book on mechanical drawing for Dou Qiu.
After that, the days were relatively dull, except for going to and from kindergarten to picking up and dropping off from my mother to going to Shuangfei Quad together, there were not many changes. Ren Feifei came to class every day, and I don't know if she solved that annoying Hu Weidong. The relationship with Lin Jia is not far away, and Zhang Zhao's efforts to reclaim the system only make the snacks in Xiao Loli's schoolbag a little more.
And Zhang Zhao himself began a life of reading novels every day when he went to kindergarten. No cell phones, no dots and no wolf chases. Fortunately, after the reform and opening up, there is no shortage of world classics from Europe, America and Japan in Xinxia bookstores, especially RB. These books that had been put on their shelves in their previous lives became Zhang Zhao's lifesaver. Don't be tormented by the days of counting and singing clapping songs in kindergarten.
"Zhang Zhao, I've finished reading the book, I'll give it back to you!" Tian Yuhong handed back a copy of Natsume Soseki's "Sanshiro".
"Finished reading it so soon? Is it good-looking? Zhang Zhao was a little surprised, Tian Yuhong only knew words like sun, moon, water and fire in the kindergarten, which was inferior to Zhang Zhao's two second-hand friends. It's only been more than half a month, and she can actually finish reading a novel with more than 100,000 words by herself?
Tian Yuhong lowered his head and said: "There are a lot of things in it that I don't understand, such as the section on the telescope and light pressure in the second chapter, and the conversation between Sanshiro and Miyako in the fourth chapter......."
"Wait" Zhang Zhao's eyes widened: "You won't tell me, you memorized all this book, right?" ”
"How can I be that good?" Tian Yuhong shook his head and said: "It's just that I can remember a rough idea, and I can't remember the details of the conversation......."
....... Zhang Zhao wondered if he was a fake again. Do you feel that everyone around you is better than him? Tian Yuhong is such an ugly girl, but she is a school bully? Do you want to fool her into studying gravitational waves, and then get a dynamite prize back? However, with Zhang Zhao's astronomical knowledge that is not as good as his amateur level, he doesn't understand anything except that the collision of two black holes will produce gravitational waves, so it is estimated that it will not play a big role.
Forget it, let it be, who can tell what will happen in thirty years?
Zhang Zhao decided to wait and see, anyway, there is time, and he is not afraid of wasting it. But I should get some popular science books for Tian Yuhong, I don't forget it, it's a waste of these brain cells to memorize famous books, and those things are available in various versions of e-books on the Internet in the future........
