Chapter 4 Winding paths lead to seclusion
The ghost is not broken, and it goes as it goes.
The evening breeze blows the boat, and the flower road enters the mouth of the stream.
Turn to the west gully at night, and look at the Nandou across the mountain.
The smoke of the pond dissolved, and Lin Yue was low and backward.
Life and pervasive, willing to hold the pole.
"Here, Brother Cheng." Wenwen enthusiastically handed me something, and after some preparation, my installation shop was officially opened.
However, there is no official location for business, it is not in Xiao Wenwen's house, and my house is used for copying machines.
Although I started to have this idea, I didn't have any experience in doing it myself, and I had no problem installing it, but what did it really look like?
In desperation, he grabbed the phone and asked Brother Zeng for advice.
Brother Zeng listened to my idea, but he was very much in favor, saying that in this way, I can still help him, he is willing to give me parts at cost price, saying that as long as he can increase his shipments, he can get more rebates from manufacturers.
I'm naturally happy to be able to help him do something. I insisted on not allowing his price, and Brother Zeng had already given me a lot of help, and he had helped me so much selflessly. Now that I have such an opportunity, I want him to earn more, and I don't plan to get anything for myself.
Brother Zeng said that I was installing the machine here, not to mention the system and common software, and I also had to carry out after-sales service.
In the end, after some bargaining between our brothers, he finally agreed to supply me with parts at a slightly higher price than cost. In this materialistic world, this is also a spectacle, one insists on not wanting it, and the other must give it. Only when the hearts are connected, can we trust each other and do things to get twice the result with half the effort.
After talking to Brother Zeng, let Wenwen call all her classmates who were interested in this together, take out everyone's budget, make a detailed configuration according to the market at that time, and then discuss it with these children or their parents.
In this way, in one morning, ten machines were set. Today's children are not simple, many configurations and prices have been checked on the Internet in advance, and some have been accompanied by parents to many stores. I have already agreed with Brother Zeng and asked him to give me the lowest shipping price, otherwise if I really don't let these juniors and sisters get benefits, I can't say it in my conscience.
But it is precisely because of this that most of the prices I quote are much lower than their psychological bottom line, so they rarely disagree.
But to say that I have no selfishness at all is not realistic. I'm a villain, too, hehe. Those little girls know very little, basically what I say is what, like this, most of the accessories I provide are Zeng Ge's agents, so that Zeng Ge's profits are higher, and my price is easy to control. How's that, I'm dark enough. Fortunately, Brother Zeng is an upright person, and the agents are all well-known brands, so there will be no trouble, and it will benefit others.
Those little boys are a little troublesome, don't look at them small, but many of them have their own opinions, and some of them will give me a list by themselves, which is their synthesis of the information on the Internet and the opinions of the so-called masters. But when I encountered this, I just gave a suggestion on the unreasonable points, and basically adopted their list. If he doesn't have the goods there, let Brother Zeng find a way to transfer the goods! We also know that "twisted melons are not sweet", and the customer is God, hehe.
In this way, I sent the detailed order to Brother Zeng and started my own installation journey.
In order to ensure the quality of the work, I also ordered a full set of testing equipment from Brother Zeng, of course, it was very good to use, but Rao was like this, and it also cost me thousands of yuan. I don't know if I can make money yet, but I already have an upfront investment.
To be honest, that is, to be responsible for customers, but also to be responsible for yourself, these are what I learned from Brother Zeng, it is by virtue of this, his business is thriving, bigger and bigger.
Brother Zeng greatly appreciated my approach, and he was more at ease with me, and he didn't have to worry about smashing his brand, because everything had just begun, and everything was still his mark.
Helping her classmates do things, Xiaowen is enthusiastic to help me, with such an enthusiastic brother, she has face in front of her classmates, and she is naturally proud.
Xiaowen took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat from my forehead. Turning around and bringing another cup over, "Brother Cheng, drink some water, don't be in such a hurry." "She was a little distressed to see me so dedicated.
"Okay, okay, I'll put the graphics card on and drink it, you put it aside first, don't drip water in the chassis." Xiaowen obediently put the cup aside. But I don't know that this is not a pro bono service, although I am not making money now, I am also engaged in commercial activities.
After the machine was installed at Xiaowen's house, it was moved to my house for testing, and it still followed the fine tradition of Brother Zeng, after it was installed, it was strictly copied for 24 hours, and I had to be responsible for my reputation.
In the past few days, when I occasionally went to Aunt Wang's shop, I could see that Mr. Xu enthusiastically helping, as if he was more interested in the decoration here than his own. This invisibly saved Xiaowen a lot of trouble, and with such a good helper, Aunt Wang didn't need her to help with the work.
The store can't leave people, Aunt Wang eats there except for special circumstances, and sometimes Wenwen replaces her in the past, and the two take turns to eat. But since this Teacher Xu came, she has basically eaten in the store.
It seems that their relationship is still progressing quite quickly, and Mr. Xu has done things for help, so he often has lunch with Aunt Wang in the small shop. Xiaowen often delivers meals for two people to the store.
Although she saved a lot of effort, Xiaowen was still unhappy, but the good girl was used to it, so she still listened to her mother.
Her attitude towards Teacher Xu was always not very friendly, and she often mentioned it in my ear to vent her dissatisfaction, although she couldn't say anything bad about others.
To say that this Teacher Xu is really good to Wenwen, he also has a bit of a stammering taste for her under his words.
I understand Xiaowen's approach, for so many years, the mother and daughter have depended on each other, and an outsider is inserted in it all of a sudden, and there must be a process to change your mind and accept this reality. So I just said a sentence or two lightly, and I didn't particularly force her.
Because of this, Wenwen seems to have become a child of our family again, and she often eats two meals a day here. Helping classmates install phones has become a good excuse for not getting past it.
Mom is used to Xiaowen's appearance, and her meal at our house is not just now, but a little more. There is such a daughter at home, diligent and obedient, better than her son, she has nothing to be unwilling to.
After the college entrance examination, my mother was very satisfied with me and praised me one after another, but since Wenwen was half stationed in our house, she was better than me, which made me feel a little sour in my heart.
After more than two days of hard work, the first batch of ten machines were all baked. was happily carried home by Xiaowen's classmates, and looking at the fruits of their labor, they also felt a sense of accomplishment.
The phones of Xiaowen's house and my family have naturally become a service hotline, and when the computers leave, they will ring constantly, and they will call to ask any questions. A simple software application problem will also call, I feel so tired, I can't imagine that there are so many troubles. With my level of software, the optimized system still has so many problems, or even problems that are not problems. It's a little sympathetic to those brand machine manufacturers, and the price is a little higher, and there is nothing wrong with it, after all, this year's door-to-door service is also very hard. In order to reduce the price, it is understandable to make some configurations with large heads and small bodies.
I had an idea, and I had a new idea, could I hold a training course, which would save me trouble, and maybe I could even make a small fortune. Recently, financial thoughts have been in full swing, and the idea of making money is one after another, but I am suffering from a doppelganger's lack of skills, so I can only think about it.
Overall, the first batch of works is still very satisfying, and the feedback will come out in a few days. Repeat customers brought a large number of people to ask for help with the installation, and many classmates, relatives and friends from other classes also came. Installed a machine, an infectious man.
The business suddenly increased, but it was obviously beyond my capacity, this person just didn't sleep 24 hours a day, and he couldn't be busy. If you want to get rid of some people, they will recognize you. The price is cheap, the quantity is sufficient, and you can't take it if you don't want to.
How is this good, there is no venue, and there are not enough people. I had to ask Xiaowen to register first, and then find a way. Xiao Wenwen was also worried, I never told her that she could still profit from it, "Brother Cheng, how good is this, it's all the trouble I caused you, I knew this, so I didn't agree to them." ”
"It's okay, Wenwen, what's this, think of a way slowly, my brother will always have an idea." After all, I am in business, and I can always come up with ideas, Xiaowen looked at me very convincingly, in her eyes, Brother Cheng did not do anything bad.
Let Wenwen choose a few people she thinks are closer, send their configurations to Brother Zeng first, and take your time little by little.
"Let's go, Wenwen, let's go out for a walk." Anyway, you'll have to wait, so why not relax. Xiaowen obediently let me take her hand and walked out of the house.
I saw another delivery truck parked in front of Aunt Wang's store, "Let's go, let's go over and help." ”
Xiaowen took my hand and was reluctant, "Brother Cheng, let's just go, anyway, there is that old Xu Tou." ”
"I'm playing with a child's temper again, obedient." This idea of hers needs to be corrected slowly, everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness, Uncle Jiang has passed away for so many years, Aunt Wang should also have her own world, and she can't just live for her daughter.
Aunt Wang's mood was obviously not high, and the teacher Xu was not there, but Xiaowen's mood improved, and she went over to help her mother work without saying hello.
I was a little surprised, what is going on, it shouldn't be that the two of them are talking stiffly. "Aunt Wang, why isn't Teacher Xu here!"
"Hey, something happened to his family, rushed back to deal with it, I heard that his old mother was sick and hospitalized, no, the newly renovated store is idle there."
It turns out that this is the case, no wonder Aunt Wang looks a little unpleasant. It's not good to say anything, silently help Aunt Wang clean up her things. At this time, the mobile phone suddenly rang, look at the number, it is Dake's house.
"Your kid has been running away for a while, why is there no news at all, is it the hairy foot son-in-law who came to the door."
"Come on, boss, don't hurt me. What are you busy with this time? Dake explained that he had gone to a relative's house for the past few days and had nothing to do when he came back.
The volunteers have been filled in, and the rest is to wait, and he is idle, I suddenly have an idea, this is a godsend.
"Da Ke, come over and play if you have nothing to do, take a few more days off with your family, I still have something to discuss with you."
There was nothing to do left and right, but I rushed over and told Aunt Wang that she would borrow Mr. Xu's house for a few days, and my new store would be temporarily settled in his shop, so he had to agree with Aunt Wang's face.
This is not bad, the store and the staff are all there, and you can do something with little fanfare. Xiaowen was in charge of the reception work and made some moves, and Dake and I were in full swing.
As soon as I said this, the interest came, and I told him that he would give 35 yuan for each machine installed, and if the business was good, at his level, he could install a few units a day, so that the income was also a lot. If he can make it to school, he will earn enough money to pay for tuition. With financial motivation, Dake worked very hard, and called home to ask for a long vacation, but unfortunately I had to catch up with the living expenses.
Hehe, but the money paid to him can't come out of my profits, and I told Xiaowen that I would install it in the future, and I would charge 50 yuan for each machine. It is also "too public fishing, those who wish to take the bait", all in line with the principle of voluntariness.
Excluding Dake's income, the remaining 15 yuan belongs to Xiaowen. But the money can't be given to her, it has to be put in my pocket to offset the money I paid when I installed it for her. Of course, she won't have nothing to be reluctant to. And in order to ensure her studies, she was only allowed to work for half a day, and the rest of the time had to work hard, so she couldn't waste her studies.
If there is something to do, it will naturally pass quickly, and in a few days, Dake and I installed nearly 100 machines and went out. Dake got more than 1,000 yuan, and his heart was so beautiful.
Now we are talking about financial disclosure, and we will basically introduce our own income. My profit is roughly divided into three grades, about 3,000 yuan of poverty alleviation models, the profit is around 100 yuan, and 5,000 yuan below the food and clothing model, you can get 200 yuan, more than 5,000 yuan of well-off models, much better, can earn 300 yuan, these situations are basically the same proportion. So in this way, my income is near... Yes, this is a trade secret, not to tell you. Anyway, after removing the upfront investment, plus there is a really difficult kind of hard time without making a penny, there is already a small surplus.
I'm a little ashamed that I'm almost an exploiting class, but fortunately the exploited are still grateful to me. But it's really tiring, plus the copying machine, Da Ke and I are basically working in no vain and no black.
There is really a rich family member, and there is a girl who wants a configuration that even exceeds Xiaowen's, and with some peripherals, the price is more than 10,000 yuan. However, I like that the profit is higher. It would be even more beautiful if everyone looked like her.
I thought this would be a good idea, but I didn't think that the compatible phone market could be so prosperous today, and I am very satisfied with the current harvest.
This afternoon, the second batch of machines was almost out, and seeing that there was not much work left, he let Dake be busy in the store, sneaked out quietly, and went to Sister Chen's place to play for a while. The conversation was pleasant, and we stayed in her apartment in the evening.
I didn't want to go over the next day to see that Xiaowen had dozens of registrations there. After a period of exercise, Xiaowen's business has become more proficient.
How is this good, more and more people know the news, and many nearby residents have also heard the news, and they want to install affordable machines for their children, and they are willing to pay the 50 yuan installation fee. There are also many students from our school who come to inquire, and some friends who have a good relationship also come to see the excitement. With just the two of us and a half, we can't finish it when we're too busy.
That's a good thing, and if you're not careful, you'll have a reputation. Heda Ke is endlessly busy, and no matter how motivated he is, he can't do it. Suddenly, the shadow of Wei Guodong was found among the visitors, followed by his two close friends. He definitely won't come to take care of the business, and with his family's conditions, the table will have to be replaced several times.
Put down the things in your hand, come out to say hello, and take a rest by the way, his later performance is also remarkable, and he can be regarded as a friend.
"Yicheng, you're busy enough, do you want your brothers to help?" His words immediately reminded me that this guy is not at a bad level, and his two best friends are also well-known game masters. It's time to hire people, and it's not bad to have them to help.
After some conversation, all three of them readily agreed to come over and do it. Although there is no shortage of money to spend at home, if you have the opportunity to make money, you will be satisfied, and you will be able to spend it with confidence.
In this way, I had three more employees, and later, two of my classmates joined in. Including Wenwen, I already have seven employees under my command.
The business is on fire, and the contact with Brother Zeng has increased, and the amount of goods used has increased. I made money, and he got benefits. When the price is about the same, the accessories used are basically fixed, which is very convenient to make, and it quickly becomes a small brand in one place. If this continues, I can register my own trademark and produce computers.
The small shop became louder and louder, and the number of people who came to ask for the installation of machines also increased, and even received dozens of machines from two Internet cafes. In a good time, we can ship 40 or 50 units a day. Several employees have also received incomes ranging from thousands of yuan to work hard.
Basically, you don't have to do it yourself, run the accessories, look at the store, and then try to contact some work. I can't believe that it feels so wonderful to be a boss.
Walking around it with his hands behind his back, seeing that everyone was busy, he was in a good mood. "Brother Cheng, come and see, there are guests coming!" Xiaowen's loud cry came from the outer room.
I ran out in response, and Jiang Tingting and Li Lingyu appeared in front of me.
"Yicheng, you're so prosperous here." Jiang and Li looked at the room curiously, and Jiang Tingting opened her mouth first. They don't know where they got the news, and they suspect that this kid is still doing it.
"There, there, small business, don't laugh at the two." How did it sound like Uncle Qi said, I don't know why, it slipped out of my mouth.
Seeing that it was too busy inside, the two of them consciously stepped forward to help.
Later, the business got better and better, and the two of them came over every day and worked in front with Xiaowen. The three of them get along very well, talking and laughing, adding a lot of color, and with the embellishment of the three beauties, the employees are more energetic in their work.
I am very happy with all this they bring, of course, mainly because the two of them are all free, hehe.
Everything goes well, the heart is indescribably comfortable, life is full of fun, every day to pick up goods, see everyone work, live a very fulfilling life.
This afternoon, I was in a hurry to the station, and Brother Zeng sent a lot of things. Suddenly, I received a call from Wenwen, with a little crying in her voice, "Brother Cheng, come back quickly, someone is coming to make trouble!"
Since tomorrow, Xue has been out for a week. During the period, the update of the VIP and public versions will be suspended, so forgive me, and it will continue to be updated when we come back. The public version lifts two chapters at a time, please don't forget to continue to support, don't let me run out of essence next week.;
