Chapter 28 Selling popsicles and soda on three wheels
After a detailed investigation for more than an hour, Liu Fang finally had a plan, he ran to the bicycle repair shop, and asked the car repair master: "Uncle, do you have old bicycles for sale here?" ”
Hearing this, the car repairman turned his head and glanced at Liu Fang, and asked, "What's wrong?" Do you want to buy? ”
Liu Fang nodded: "I really want to buy one, the money is all brought, can you let me take a look at the goods first?" ”
Seeing that Liu Fang's clothes were in tatters, the car repairer didn't believe it too much, and Liu Fang was not angry, he took out a hundred-yuan bill and shook it in front of the other party's eyes, "Look at it, I didn't lie to you, right?" ”
The mechanic nodded: "You come with me." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Liu Fang followed the car repair master into the car repair shop, there were a lot of bicycles in it, both new and old, after some screening, Liu Fang finally took a fancy to a tricycle.
The tricycle looked at least seventy percent new, Liu Fang couldn't ride a bicycle, he felt that the tricycle was relatively simple to operate, and he didn't need to learn how to ride, so he talked to the mechanic about the price.
The car repairer saw that Liu Fang's clothes were in tatters, and he did not slaughter him, and finally the tricycle was sold at a price of 200 yuan.
Liu Fang pushed the car to find a remote place, and after more than ten minutes of familiarization, Liu Fang mastered the skills of controlling the tricycle.
Then he rode under the scorching sun to the town's cold drink wholesale department, now is the hottest time of the year, cold drinks sell very well, Liu Fang is not very old after all, his face is still a little thin, he hesitated for a while, and then mustered up the courage to enter the wholesale department.
"Boss, I want to buy something......"
The boss of the wholesale department was a middle-aged man, and when he saw Liu Fang's clothes in tatters, he couldn't help but show a suspicious look: "What are you talking about?" ”
Liu Fang's little face turned red, and he said in a low voice: "I, I want to buy ......"
The boss took a look at Liu Fang's dress and said lightly: "What do you want to buy?" ”
Liu said with confidence: When you go out, you must buy a few new clothes, otherwise you will be misunderstood by people who dress like this.
"I want to buy some popsicles, and I want to buy some cold soda, I don't know what the price is?"
"Popsicles are a dime and a half, soda is three cents a bottle, and a deposit of five cents is charged for each bottle of soda, and the deposit can only be refunded to you when the bottle is returned, little doll, how much do you want to buy?"
Liu Fang thought for a while and said, "Let's have thirty popsicles first, and a box of soda." ”
The boss saw that Liu Fang looked shy and his clothes were tattered, knowing that Liu Fang was a child of a poor family, and he didn't want to embarrass Liu Fang, he nodded when he heard this, and quickly prepared Liu Fang's goods.
Then he kindly asked, "Do you have an incubator?" ”
Liu Fang shook his head, the boss shook his head with a smile, took out two foam boxes from the room and handed them to Liu Fang: "This is an incubator, my uncle gave it to you for free, there is cotton cloth in it, you put popsicles and soda in the box, and then wrap them in cotton cloth, so that you can maintain their temperature, the soda is fine, but the popsicle will not work, if there is no incubator, the popsicle will melt quickly." ”
Liu Fang still knew the principle of this kind of insulation, he nodded, and thanked him: "Thank you!" Thank you owner! ”
The boss laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Liu Fang's head and said, "You kid, you are about the same age as my son, but you are much more sensible than him, it is really not easy to come out to do business at such a young age." ”
Liu Fang paid the money and loaded the two boxes of goods onto the tricycle, then he went to buy two new clothes to change into, and bought a straw hat to wear on his head.
After the makeover, Liu Fang pedaled a tricycle around the street.
At the beginning, Liu Fang was very shy, he didn't dare to shout at all, he felt that he would definitely not be able to do business like this, after a fierce ideological struggle, Liu Fang finally mustered up the courage to call: "Sell...... Selling popsicles...... Selling cold soda...... Popsicles - soda - "
After experiencing the embarrassment at the beginning, Liu Fang gradually got used to it, and his shouting became louder and louder, not to mention, as soon as he called, there was really a business.
"Popsicle seller, you wait."
Liu Fang hurriedly stopped the tricycle and turned his head to look, only to see a middle-aged woman pulling a small child over.
"How are popsicles sold?"
Liu Fang had already figured out the price, he tried to put aside the embarrassment, and replied, "Three cents a piece." ”
"Oh, bring me two."
After the middle-aged woman paid the bill, Liu Fang took out Lianggen popsicle from the incubator and handed it to the other party, and when the other party left with the popsicle, Liu Fang waved his small fist with some excitement and said excitedly: "The first transaction is successful!" ”
With the successful experience of the first business, Liu Fang couldn't help but be more open, with the yearning for a new life, Liu Fang's shouting became louder and louder: "Selling popsicles - selling iced soda!" ”
The hot weather made Liu Fang's business very good, and by noon, all the popsicles he came in were sold out, leaving only three bottles of iced soda unsold.
He found a shady place to count the harvest, and then returned to the cold drink wholesale department with a happy smile.
This time, Liu Fang put two boxes of soda and popsicle into two boxes, and he came to the school gate at noon when school was out.
There is more than one school in Jiashan Town, and Liu Fang did not go to the school he used to study to sell things, but chose another school, so that no one would recognize him.
After some commotion, the goods that Liu put in were quickly sold out.
"I made nearly ten yuan in one morning, it turns out that doing business is so profitable!"
At 12:40 p.m., Liu Fang came to the wholesale department again, and the boss couldn't help but be very surprised when he saw him selling so fast: "Little doll, you really know how to do business, how many goods do you want to buy this time?" ”
Liu Fang said happily: "Four boxes of popsicles and sodas!" ”
"Okay, I'll get the goods ready for you."
From this day on, Liu Fang began to walk the streets and alleys of the trading career, after his continuous practice, he finally determined such a business roadmap: in the morning he will do business at the door of the vegetable market, in the morning he will go to the streets and alleys to shout, at noon to the school gate squatting, in the afternoon to go to the construction site around, and in the evening after school, he will come to the school gate again to squat.
Because his time and place were planned very properly, his business was quite good, and he could earn more than 20 yuan every day, which made Liu Fang's motivation higher and higher, and gradually made him forget the sadness after the dissolution of the association.
Ten days later, in the evening, Liu Fang pedaled a tricycle to the school gate as usual, and after the school bell rang, Liu Fang's business was very good, and he quickly swept away the rest of the goods. Then he crouched on the side of the road and counted the day's gains.
"I made a total of twenty-three yuan and three cents and five cents today, well, very good! Tomorrow to continue! ”
