Chapter 10: The Little Shop Opens

Li Changjian frowned and thought about it, Wang Mingtang, who was eating on the side, occasionally glanced at the computer a few times, and saw that Li Changjian was looking seriously, so he couldn't help asking, "Changjian, what is this website for?" ”

"Didn't I just tell you last night, the one who sells things is called Taobao."

"I didn't pay attention to it last night, where do I know which website it is."

Wang Mingtang spoke, and pouted again, "Can this online selling things be reliable, who dares to buy it, what if you encounter a scammer, the money is remitted, and people will play and disappear." ”

"It depends on which website it is on, this Taobao is still relatively reliable, and they have an Alipay service, which is used to protect the interests of buyers." Li Changjian explained that if he hadn't learned about it last night, he wouldn't have known that Taobao launched the Alipay service in October 2003, but even so, the number of online shoppers at this time is obviously very small.

"What's Alipay? I don't understand. Anyway, I don't think it's reliable to buy things online, it's too unsafe. Wang Mingtang bit the ribs and shook his head.

"Don't you often buy game equipment online, why don't you see you say it's not safe?" Li Changjian scolded with a smile.

"That's different." Wang Mingtang shook his head.

"Why is it different, isn't it all online shopping?"

"This?" Wang Mingtang was also asked for a while, and after a while, he said, "Anyway, it's different, game equipment is generally bought from game companies, which is more reliable." ”

Li Changjian smiled, he didn't argue with Wang Mingtang about this topic, people at this time didn't know much about online shopping, and they didn't think it was reliable, so it was not strange.

After browsing a few stores again, Li Changjian turned his head thoughtfully and glanced at Wang Mingtang, "Mingtang, your factory produces shoes, there should be some inventory that can't be sold, right?" ”

"Nonsense, can you run out of stock." Wang Mingtang pouted, "In the past, my family was engaged in OEM for those big shoe factories, and last year my father said that he also wanted to make his own brand, but the sales were not very good, and the warehouse was piled up with a lot of goods." ”

"Then your family is now mainly OEM or make your own brand?" Li Changjian wondered.

"The main thing is to OEM, otherwise the factory would have closed down a long time ago, but my dad always wanted to make his own brand, so now I have both." Wang Mingtang said.

"Mingtang, look at this, I want to take a batch of shoes from your house, can you discuss it with your father to see what price you can give me."

"Changjian, don't you see the outside, you want shoes, go to my warehouse, pick a few pairs and wear them, what money do you want."

"Mingtang, you misunderstood what I meant, I don't want to wear it myself, I want to sell it, I plan to sell shoes online."

"Selling shoes online?" Wang Mingtang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Changjian incredulously, "Can this work?" ”

"How do you know if you don't try." Li Changjian smiled, "Anyway, when you go back, you can help me ask your father first, and see how much your stock of shoes can be wholesaled to me." ”

"Okay, I'll go back and help you ask, I have those shoes in stock at home, and I'll ask my dad to give them to you as low as possible." Wang Mingtang nodded.

"By the way, one more point." Li Changjian scratched his head a little embarrassed, "Mingtang, I don't have any money on hand, so if I really want to buy shoes from your house, the money may not be paid to you until I sell the shoes from the Internet." ”

"These are all trivial things, I'll just tell my dad when I go back, but it's really not good, I'll vouch for you, my dad won't say anything." Wang Mingtang grinned.

When Li Changjian heard Wang Mingtang talk about this, he patted Wang Mingtang's shoulder with emotion, and didn't say any more hypocritical words such as thanks, and the relationship between the two seemed redundant.

"Changjian, you said last night that you want to study hard, and now there are only a few months left before the college entrance examination, do you have time to toss this on the Internet?" Wang Mingtang looked at Li Changjian.

"Time is squeezed out, as long as you have the heart, I'm afraid that you won't have time." Li Changjian laughed, "Actually, I'm just trying this first, it won't take up too much time, just use the time after school to visit the Internet café every day." ”

"Anyway, I'm not very optimistic, not to mention that many people think it's not safe to buy things online, let's just say that you sell shoes online, and people can't see the quality and style of your shoes, and there is no way to try them on, a few people will buy them." Wang Mingtang said very unceremoniously.

"It's hard to say, anyway, you have to try everything to know." Li Changjian smiled.

In the following time, Li Changjian looked at the process of opening a store on Taobao, and saw that he needed an electronic scan of his ID card and a bank card, Li Changjian knew that he would not be able to build a store for a while, and he would have to get these two things when he turned around.

"Okay, you can go on, I won't go." After reading what he wanted to see, Li Changjian stood up.

"You go on, I haven't finished eating yet."

"No, it's not interesting, I'm going to school, Wang Ping'an asked me to play at noon, do you want to go?"

"No, I'll play two games more realistically."

"Then I'll go first."

Coming out of the Internet café, Li Changjian walked straight to the school and walked to the boys' dormitory building, although he did not stay, but he usually went to the boys' dormitory in the class to play, Li Changjian knew that Wang Ping'an lived in room 306.

There were boys smoking against the railing of the corridor in the dormitory, and Li Changjian had already seen it, if no one smoked, it would be a strange thing.

Li Changjian walked to room 306 and saw Wang Ping'an lying on the bed reading a book, he sighed, and said that this kid was also angry and tried to be strong, walked over to take a look, and saw that it was a book that was not suitable for children, and glanced at Wang Ping'an funny, "Can't you see that you are also good?" ”

"Hehe, it's not mine, it came from the dormitory next door, I don't know who bought it, it's exciting." Wang Ping'an was rarely a little embarrassed.

Li Changjian glanced at Wang Ping'an, secretly amused, thinking that it was really a restless adolescence.

The two took the ball and called a few boys in the class, just three to three, and the group came to the playground.

At noon in winter, the sun is not very hot, but after a few minutes of running, several people on the course are still sweating profusely. Li Changjian likes this feeling of sweating on the court, which allows him to really find that feeling of youth, and also makes him feel that he is indeed back to this fiery youth, not a dream.

The excessive exercise on the court at noon made Li Changjian a little groggy in the afternoon, and he always wanted to doze off during class, but Li Changjian, who was determined to change his mind and study hard, finally endured the attack of sleepy insects, and listened seriously in the history and politics classes in the afternoon.

Time passed day by day like this, until the day of Christmas Eve on the 24th, Li Changjian was like a spinning top that kept spinning, and he was so busy that he was almost tired like a dog.

Every day after school at noon, in addition to going to the Internet café to check whether the vodka English website domain name has been renewed, Li Changjian's Taobao shop has also opened, and there are only a few shoes in it, all of which are the existing styles of Wang Mingtang's home shoe factory, as for the purchase price of shoes, thanks to Wang Mingtang's blessing, his father Wang Fucai almost gave him the inventory at a loss-making cabbage price, as for the new style, it was only given to him at cost price, and he was allowed to take credit, Li Changjian knew that Wang Mingtang obviously played a big role here. Otherwise, Wang Mingtang's father is not related to him, and he will definitely not take care of him so much, and Li Changjian is not hypocritical about Wang Mingtang's gratitude, but just keeps it in his heart.

Taobao stores have been opened, so another thing Li Changjian does when he goes to the Internet café every day is to see if anyone has placed an order in his Taobao store.

In 2003, there were not many Taobao stores that sold shoes, only a handful of them, and compared with other people's stores, Li Changjian's store not only made the page exquisite and beautiful, but even the uploaded shoes photos were very beautiful, that was Li Changjian borrowed Wang Mingtang's single-lens reflex camera to shoot, and then spent some money to ask someone to retouch the picture, even the store's web page was also asked to do it, Li Changjian was completely in accordance with his understanding of the Taobao store page in later generations to ask someone to make a model, The other shops that sell shoes are simply rotten compared to him.

The store has been open for two days, except for a few people who have come to browse, there is not even a single business, Li Changjian sighed a little, even if he knew that the online store would become popular in the next few years, but he, the person who took the lead, did not necessarily make money first, who the fuck said that it was easy to make money in the early days? Come out, promise not to beat you to death.
