Chapter 28: The Spirit of the Gambler
I tried my best to teach the students that day, and I really hoped that I wouldn't make a mistake because I didn't concentrate enough, because in that case, I would have mistaken someone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info At the end of the day's work, I took the car home, it seems that yesterday's argument has been a long time ago, as if it was a long time ago, and now that I think about it, I feel that my mood is much calmer. I even feel that there is no root cause for such a quarrel now, there is no reason, so does that mean that I am really vexatious? I don't know, but this doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that in the future, I'm even in the mood to go to the supermarket to buy something. I was amazed at how much endurance I had when I was shopping, and how calm I could be when life had unforeseen accidents. It seems that I have been tortured by life, and I have also been sharpened. I went home to cook as usual, because I didn't receive a call from Lin Feng, so I assumed that he wouldn't come back for dinner at night, and I didn't plan to call him. If I call him, it will be tantamount to me admitting my vexatiousness, and if I give in at this time, then I may become more and more unreasonable in the future, and I will often have nothing to do. I believe that men will automatically define it, and that the implication will become more and more obvious over time, and I certainly wouldn't do that.
Just when I thought that Lin Feng would not return home again today, he came back, holding a bouquet of fiery roses in his hand, which was his usual way. I was sitting on the couch watching TV, and there was some joy in his eyes when he saw me, and I think he probably thought I was waiting for him.
"Manman, I was wrong, I was wrong yesterday, you forgive me." He half-crouched in front of me and offered me flowers. Reminds me of a puppy trying to please its owner, sticking out its tongue and wagging its tail.
"Really? You're wrong? What's wrong? ”
He sat down next to me of his own accord, and the way I spoke to him in that way showed that I was still angry, but it also showed that I had begun to forgive him to some extent, and I just needed a reasonable explanation. Obviously, Lin Feng also knew this, so he sat next to me. If I tell him in an inconsequential tone that he is not at fault, that it is all my fault, it means that I have not forgiven him in my heart, and may not forgive him for a long time or never, and he understands very well.
"Manman, something happened to the company recently, I'm a little anxious, the tone of my conversation with you yesterday was not so good, don't be angry with me. I've also been under too much pressure lately. ”
"Oh, yes, well, I'm not going to pursue this, but yesterday you mentioned someone else's wife, I don't know whose wife made you think I can't compare to her, or you can tell me where I need to improve? It also allows me to learn and learn. ”
I think he should be repentant in his intestines by now, and he really shouldn't say this. I guess he sensed the danger signal in this sentence, because he didn't say a word, or he was thinking of a perfect answer.
"Manman, there is no such thing, no one can compare with you, you are irreplaceable to me, I was dizzy yesterday, so I said something like that to anger you, how can I take my angry words seriously? I don't really mean anything else. ”
Actually, I knew mentally that he must have seen the good side of other people's wives at some point, and it just so happened that I didn't have that good side, so he started to compare me with others, but if I were serious about talking to him about this topic at this time, I don't believe I would want to get the answer I wanted. Maybe I have to admit that I do have a lot of shortcomings, but at least for now I am wholeheartedly devoted to him, to this family, and I feel that by that alone, I am more meaningful to him than any woman, am I? I think he thinks the same way, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to admit his mistakes. Shouldn't I be a little confused at this point, I think so. My mother often complained to me about my father's bad things, but they also lived a lifetime, maybe this is marriage.
"You'd better mean nothing else." I'm not going to pursue it.
"What's wrong with the company? Speak up and listen. ”
"There is an old customer who ordered a batch of goods and paid the deposit. But when he knew that I had left the original company and worked alone, he didn't worry about handing over this batch of goods to me, and he didn't want the deposit, but my goods had already been made, and now no one wants the clothes, and they are still in the factory, and there is no way to transport them back, and there is no warehouse to store, which is really nerve-wracking. ”
"It seems that you are still doing business with him in the name of the original company, which also shows that he doesn't trust your ability anymore, you send him two pieces of clothing and let him see them before making a decision."
"It's useless, he has already asked my old company to make it, so now he will never ask for these clothes."
"Don't you want it cheaper?
"It's not cheap, then we will lose money, this is the first big order since the establishment of the company, we are waiting for this business to open, who knows what happened."
Seeing how helpless he looked, I wished I could buy those clothes. But I can't do anything right now. "Lin Feng, the early days of entrepreneurship are always not so smooth, I think you should be prepared for this, but in the long run, maybe this is not a bad thing, it reminds you to build your own brand, even if it is difficult at first, but it will always slowly get better."
"I know, full, this is the way I have to go. But I'm going to have to get through the current difficulties before I can move on. The clothes have been made, but the current situation is that we can't pay the factory if we don't sell the clothes, and if they do, they will refuse to make other clothes for us, which is really a wrong step, a wrong step. ”
"How many clothes do you have?"
"Almost 200 pieces."
"What's the cost price?"
"80, it's just a visible cost, if you count the freight or something, it's more than that."
"Then count it as 100, that should be enough."
"That's enough."
"The problem at hand is to get rid of these clothes, so let's work on this."
He seemed a little helpless, "Zhao Yong and I are already trying to contact other buyers to see if anyone is willing to buy." Okay, full, rest early, I'm just going to tell you about the company, don't worry about these things, you go to your class, now I can't count on it, the family is counting on you. ”
"Why don't you take those clothes to your house first, it's okay to always leave them at the factory, I think they should be happy for you to take the clothes back and put them there, they won't get the money."
The weather is getting colder, and some of the unsalable clothes at home are being sold, but there are still 100 pieces in our house, and I pass by the store in the evening class, and the endless stream of pedestrians makes me realize that I am now in a bustling city. "Little girl, do you want to see it? Sell it to you cheaper. ”
An older sister was keenly aware that I was taking a slight stop at the clothes she was putting outside the store, and she seized the moment to arouse my interest. "Girl, you see it's getting cold soon, this knitwear is just enough to wear, 80 yuan a piece, I'll tell you that the clothes like me in this mall will sell for more than 200 yuan." Look at how good my quality is, it's wool. ”
"Well, eldest sister, this dress is good, do you want money for setting up a stall here?"
"No, it's only the ones inside." She saw that I had no intention of buying her clothes, and her reply was much more concise, not wanting to waste my time here. But enough is enough, I have got the answer I wanted. Because I suddenly had an idea.
The next day, I went to the store again during the day, found the manager, I asked how much it cost to set up a stall at the door of the first floor, and the manager told me that it was 1,000 yuan a day, which was the result of my repeated price reduction. I thought about it and decided to rent a day on my rest day, the reason why I thought about it is because my class fee this month is 4200, excluding the mortgage 2700, there is 1500 left, if I remove another 1000 yuan, that is to say, all the expenses of the family are in this 500 yuan, including food and drink, you can imagine how difficult it is for me to take out the 1000 yuan.
"Are you crazy? 1,000 yuan a day, how many pieces of clothing do you have to sell to fill this hole? Didn't I tell you not to worry about me? I can't thank you enough for taking care of your home. Lin Feng was a little unimpressed by my bold approach, and a little annoyed, of course I can understand it.
"Lin Feng, if I'm not wrong, what you said about taking care of your family means paying off the mortgage, and you're afraid that you won't be able to repay the mortgage. In fact, am I the breadwinner of the family now? If so, do I have a bit of a say? ”
He looked at me in amazement, as if he didn't know me for having such thoughts. Then his eyes darkened a little, and I knew that what I said had been at least partially admitted by him.
"It's useless for me, and now I have to rely on women to support my family." He lowered his head, a little depressed.
"I didn't mean that, I know, it's a bit risky to do this, but how do you know the result if you don't try some things, and besides, don't you have a few hundred dollars, it's enough to save a little. I figured it out, the cost of the clothes is not 100, so let's price this dress at 380. ”
“380? You're good at it. ”
"Anyway, the money has been paid, I'm going to try it this weekend, or do you have a better way now?" The money is not coming back. ”
"Hehe, full, I really can't see that sometimes you actually have the courage to dare to fight or the spirit of a gambler." He laughed angrily.
"Who knows? I don't even know what will happen tomorrow, let alone a few days from now, and I already know the worst, so nothing else will be worse than that. ”
