In the midst of the busyness, the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Year of the Lunar Rat is approaching in a flash, and early in the morning, Zhang Weiqun and Wang Chunling just went out to work on the front foot, and their son Zhang Jiaming followed the back foot.

Yesterday at noon, Zhang Jiaming's family five hundred years ago, has taken the settlement of the goods to drive home the truck for the New Year, after the driver's eldest brother left, Zhang Jiaming took stock of the inventory, there are nearly 40,000 firecrackers left, which means that the remaining firecrackers, every time they are sold, it is a pure profit.

Zhang Jiaming estimated that if all these firecrackers were sold, he should be able to earn at least 18,000 yuan, which was far beyond his expectations, and when the stall was closed from noon to evening yesterday, he sold nearly 7,000 firecrackers here, and the two came to pull away 10,000 firecrackers again in the evening, and his current inventory is a little more than 20,000 hanging, and it seems that it is not a problem to complete the plan.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Zhang Jiaming appeared at the entrance of the Xicheng Farmers' Market with a large group of children riding six tricycles, except for one of which was Lu Xiaokun's tricycle, the other five were rented from the vegetable vendors in the farmers' market for two yuan a day.

According to the weather forecast, there will be a moderate to heavy snow in Yangjiang City this evening, and some gloomy weather in the early morning can not stop people's enthusiasm for purchasing New Year's goods.

The Xicheng Farmers' Market has a much larger flow of people than in the past Chinese New Year's Eve, which has also made Zhang Jiaming's firecracker business soar, and it is only past 8 o'clock in the morning, and the customers who patronize the cannon stalls are already endless.

Zhang Jiaming and Lu Xiaokun shuttled back and forth on the rows of gun stalls, where they couldn't get busy, they went to help, in the early eighties, there was basically no ** on the market, Zhang Jiaming was not worried about this, he just kept reminding his friends not to calculate the wrong account and find the wrong money, and also had to beware of individual people with poor quality.

Before setting off in the morning, Zhang Jiaming decided to raise the price of each firecracker by another dime, and at the same time he sent a small partner to the market miscellaneous goods company into a box of common ordinary firecrackers on the market, according to the market price of five cents a hanging sale, if you meet a bargaining customer, they will be introduced to buy this ordinary firecracker, the name is beautiful, a penny for the price! Zhang Jiaming just noticed that the vast majority of customers would rather spend a dime more to choose this kind of electric light cannon produced by Qiu Chunguang Firecracker Factory.

Zhang Jiaming calculated that if he sold all the remaining firecrackers, he could increase his net profit by more than 2,000 yuan, and in summary, he would earn 20,000 yuan during this winter vacation.

Well, it's all exciting to think about!

At this time, a van with "Yangjiang TV" printed on the door of the car stopped at the door of the Xicheng Farmers' Market, and a man with a camera on his shoulder and a woman with a microphone got out of the car.

The firecracker stall lined up by one or twenty children is the most beautiful scenery in this area, and sure enough, the two were attracted by these busy children at a glance, and the cameraman carried the camera to Zhang Jiaming and his friends.

The female reporter held the microphone and said at the right time: "The location we are now in is the Xicheng Farmers' Market, and as soon as we got off the bus, we were attracted by the firecracker sales stall run by a group of children here, so let's go over and interview." ”

When Zhang Jiaming saw the camera footage that was shooting wildly and was about to hide, the female reporter had already squeezed in, and at the same time put the microphone in front of him, "May I ask this little classmate, is the firecracker sales stall here run by your friends or is it for your family to help?" ”

There was no way to hide, Zhang Jiaming had to face it calmly, "It's our little partners who run it ourselves." ”

"Oh!" The female reporter was a little surprised, and then asked, "How old are you, little classmate?" ”

"Nine years old." Zhang Jiaming's childish voice is childish, and he must answer questions.

The female reporter asked again in a child-like tone: "So who is in charge of you children?" ”

"Auntie, he's our boss!" A buddy chimed in.

"Oh, so you're still the big boss! Auntie asks you, what is the purpose of selling firecrackers here? The female reporter asked in the tone of a kindergarten aunt.

Zhang Jiaming was a little speechless at the female reporter's question, do you still need to lower your IQ? Sister, your IQ is already very low! Of course, my goal is to make money, do I need to ask? You think I'm idle here!

Zhang Jiaming smiled and replied succinctly: "Auntie, through this activity, one is to work and study, the other is that we also want to exercise ourselves, and the third is to experience the hard work of our parents to make money." ”

"How much money do you make by hanging firecrackers?" The female reporter asked again.

Sister, are you stupid? Is that what you ask? The most taboo problem in doing business, especially in the early eighties, although the central government had put forward the slogan of letting some people get rich first, but for the Chinese who have experienced too many hardships, they all have a cautious wait-and-see attitude, even if they make money, they dare not tell outsiders, for fear of sudden changes in policy, and the hard-earned money will be confiscated.

Zhang Jiaming showed a very contented expression on his face, stretched out two little fingers and replied childishly: "Auntie, we can earn two cents by hanging firecrackers!" ”

"So, how many firecrackers can you sell in a day?" The female reporter continued to ask.

Sister, did you take medicine before you went out? Zhang Jiaming really wanted to burst into a foul language.

"About a thousand." Zhang Jiaming said perfunctory, and then pretended to be very busy, the fact is that he is indeed very busy, Zhang Jiaming hurriedly went to another stall that was already too busy to save the scene.

After the female reporter held the microphone and whispered to the camera, she left Zhang Jiaming's booth with the cameraman, preparing to continue the brainless interview in the Xicheng Farmers' Market.

Zhang Jiaming said in his heart that he came here to sell firecrackers to avoid his parents and neighbors, which is good, not only do they know, but also the people of Yangjiang know about it, Zhang Jiaming shook his head helplessly, and he now hopes that his footage can be edited before the broadcast.

At noon, not long after Zhang Jiaming and his friends had lunch, the expected peak of firecracker sales finally arrived as scheduled, and the customers who bought firecrackers surrounded Zhang Jiaming's long line of firecracker stalls.

Zhang Jiaming kept loudly reminding his friends, "Everyone cheer up!" Don't panic! Don't make a mistake! Don't find the wrong money! Don't run out of goods! ”

Seeing the constant empty cardboard boxes filled with firecrackers being left behind, Zhang Jiaming had never felt so happy in his previous life and in this life, and he really wanted to look up to the sky and sing a song, "I really want to live another 500 years!" ”

At this time, the ice particles falling from the sky hit his face, and it hurt a little as if he had been stung by a small ant, and the cardboard boxes on the stall also crackled.

Oh, it's snowing, a big year of snow! I hope this is a good omen, so that my path to rebirth will be smoother and wider!

It wasn't until seven o'clock in the evening that there were fewer customers buying firecrackers, and the ice particles in the sky had turned into snowflakes, and they were getting bigger and bigger, Zhang Jiaming saw that there were not many firecrackers left on the stall, so he decisively waved his little hand and shouted: "Call it a day!" Go home for the New Year! ”

When the friends put the stalls away, Zhang Jiaming stood in front of everyone and said: "Everyone has worked hard today, I decided to give everyone more money, which is considered overtime pay." ”

As soon as they heard this, the friends all jumped for joy, and one of them couldn't help but whisper, "Can you get five yuan?" ”

Zhang Jiaming looked around with a smile and asked, "Are you satisfied with the five yuan per person?" ”

"Satisfied!" The friends shouted happily in unison.

So Zhang Jiaming began to send money, but the money these friends got in their hands was a big unity for each person, the largest paper money in this era, which made these children so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.

Zhang Jiaming said: "The leftover firecrackers sold in the box are each taken home by themselves. ”

Hey! And the unexpected surprise!

"It's not over yet!" Zhang Jiaming continued: "Before the start of school, everyone will go to Lu Xiaokun's house to get a backpack, and Lu Xiaokun will notify you at that time. ”

Buy Karma! Pleasantly surprised!

At this time, the admiration of the friends for Zhang Jiaming has been like a surging river, Zhang Jiaming is a person who does great things, and he has already started such a big business at the same age as us, can I do it? A few of the children are already asking themselves.

"It's not early, you all go home together, Xiaokun, you ride a tricycle to see me off." Zhang Jiaming said.

The children all said goodbye to Zhang Jiaming one by one with admiring eyes, and Zhang Jiaming jumped on Lu Xiaokun's tricycle and said, "Xiaokun, let's go." ”

The goose feathers and snow flying in the sky drifted past the street lamps and sprinkled on Zhang Jiaming and Lu Xiaokun, and the pedestrians on the road were much rarer.

Lu Xiaokun parked the tricycle at the door of Zhang Jiaming's community, and Zhang Jiaming stuffed a paper bag wrapped in newspaper into Lu Xiaokun's hand, "Xiaokun has worked hard for you these days, here is a thousand yuan for you to accept." ”

Lu Xiaokun hurriedly pushed out, "Jiaming, what are you doing here?" How can I take your money, we are good brothers, I am willing to help you! ”

Zhang Jiaming said in an unquestionable tone: "If you treat me as a good brother, you will accept this money, and if you don't accept it, you will look down on me as a brother!" ”

Lu Xiaokun hesitated for a moment and said, "That's it, Jiaming, I'll only take half of it." ”

Zhang Jiaming pushed the paper bag into Lu Xiaokun's arms and said, "Don't be mother-in-law, take it home for the New Year." ”

Entering the gate of the community, Zhang Jiaming turned around and shouted: "Tomorrow I will go to our grandfather to pay a New Year's greeting!" ”
