Chapter 287: Pie in the Sky
When she told Li Xiaohua about this, she was so shocked that she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, and only after a long time did she speak: "Light smile, you see...... We...... I don't know each other very well, but you help me like this, let me say something. I...... I don't know anything, I'm stupid, and I can't look on the stage, isn't it good? ”
"What does this have to do with looks? You're thinking too much. A light smile replied.
Li Xiaohua's self-knowledge and smile are very satisfied, what she likes is Li Xiaohua's honest duty, otherwise she would not help. A classmate, if it weren't for the intersection last time, Xiaoxiao and Li Xiaohua would really not know each other, and they would be strangers. I haven't eaten together, I haven't chatted together, but the last party made Qianxiao discover Li Xiaohua's shining point. That is honesty, knowing that my birth is not good, but there is no inferiority complex at all, and he is very motivated, and he gets along well with his classmates.
Qianxiao's help to Li Xiaohua also stems from a moment of sympathy, she always feels that her current life is for nothing, and the money is also sent by God, so Qianxiao has always had the idea and idea of wanting to do charity in her heart. But Qianxiao also knows that charity does not mean that you want to donate to where it is, nor is it as easy as you say it in your heart, and you don't necessarily know where the money and property will end up, and whether it has been distributed to those who really need it. Light smile breathed this thought, when she saw Li Xiaohua, the idea in her heart came out, but this time, light smile didn't want to donate money and materials, she wanted to cultivate Li Xiaohua and transform her parents and villagers through Li Xiaohua.
Li Xiaohua felt that this matter was like pie in the sky for her, and she did not reject that she was a child from the mountains. didn't look down on people because they didn't understand anything, and they didn't guard against themselves because the two didn't have a relationship, what else would you disagree with such a good thing?
After smiling and getting Li Xiaohua's consent. immediately called Bai Xue, made an appointment with the time and place, and called both of them, which can be regarded as letting the two partners meet once and know each other's existence. At the same time, Qianxiao also told them all the precautions in the business, and some sales experience and sales methods were told to them without reservation, which made Bai Xue and Li Xiaohua move tears out.
When I finished laughing. Bai Xue took out a contract from her bag and said to Li Xiaohua: "Although we are all friends with a smile, justice has to explain some things clearly for this reason." So as not to make a smile difficult when you get it. ”
"Yes, yes, you're right." Li Xiaohua nodded in agreement and said: "Qianxiao is only getting along with us for this method, we can't involve her anymore." ”
Listen to the conversation between the two. smiled so much that he smiled: "One is the cousin of the end." One is my classmate, you are the happiest to succeed in coming out, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me, I won't stop contacting you because of this. ”
Bai Xue said: "We are in business, after all, this involves money, and it is better to say some problems in advance, so that everyone knows in their hearts." Sometimes the approach of the villain before the gentleman is much brighter than the approach of the gentleman before the villain. There will be no disputes. ”
"What you're saying is, I understand that. And I think it's a good idea too. Li Xiaohua also agreed with Bai Xue's move. Think this is valid evidence of a restraint on the two.
Light smile watched the two of them integrate into this role so quickly, and was surprised and relieved at the same time. For their approach, light smile also agrees. Doing business is no better than others, and things about money must be clearly distinguished, don't say it's a friend, it's a brother who has a negative purpose for money?
Yes, what Xiaoxiao let Bai Xue and Li Xiaohua do is the second-hand resale of brand-name leather bags and clothing. I know how much interest rate there is, but now I don't have the idea of saying it, she wants Bai Xue and Li Xiaohua to discover it by themselves.
Of course, there is a difference. Qianxiao's suggestion is that Bai Xue is mainly a store, and the acquisition is mainly about the fashion trends of some big brands. These things are not uncommon for Bai Xue, and her circle is a place where she votes for her brand. In the words of a light smile, those rich ladies and wives have not necessarily brought every jewelry, every piece of clothing has been worn, every bag has been used, these have not been brought, worn, used, every month, every year to waste countless people, not how much money they have to squander, just a habit, a face, this is what Bai Xue wants to do, buy these wasteful ones at a very low price, and let them be disposed of in the store as second-hand goods. It is the best choice for those small white-collar workers who like famous brands and cannot afford to buy many famous brands.
For Li Xiaohua, Xiaoxiao's arrangement is to go to the university campus to buy clothes that girls don't want, now girls like to dress up, the speed of buying clothes is very fast, and the behavior of changing clothes is also very chic, but the quality of these clothes is not good. But Qianxiao also said, it doesn't matter, these clothes are weighed in pounds, so they won't suffer. Trafficking the clothes received to remote poor areas, there is no need to buy very expensive, it is a running volume, so the money earned in this way is not necessarily worse than that of second-hand stores, the only thing is that people are very hard, and Li Xiaohua is still a college student, so there is not so much free time.
"What do you say about this?" A light smile asked Li Xiaohua, pay attention to her out, but it is also a very distressing thing that no one executes. "Why don't you just forget this one, and you two will both guard the store? This will be easier, of course, you will earn a lot less, but it will be enough for your pocket money. And one of the advantages is that Bai Xue is looking for a relationship and a source of goods, and Li Xiaohua will support the sales, so that she is not afraid that Bai Xue will not be able to wipe her face when she meets a friend and give a cost price, so the next business will not be good. How is it? ”
"I'm desperate." Bai Xue said. This business has a bit of a feeling of going off the rails, just like Xiaoxiao said that she wants to pull down, she is not worried about the purchase of goods at all, she is still a little apprehensive about guarding the store Bai Xue, for fear that her character will not be able to sit still, and then the two ends of the door will be closed in three days in vain, if Li Xiaohua comes to guard the store. That's a very different story. "I also know my personality with a smile, but I'm afraid that my ass can't sit still, and someone to help guard the store is equivalent to relieving me. It's too late to be happy, so how can you object? ”
"It's okay to keep the store, I can come over to help when I don't have classes, but I don't want to give up on the college campus." Li Xiaohua looked up at the light smile, her eyes were shining, with inquiries and joy. Laughing. Can I ask my brother to help? ”
Qianxiao found that Li Xiaohua was still quite lively, so she didn't immediately think of a way to deal with it. Also, I can be admitted to B University. It won't be a stupid, stupid, only someone who can't speak. A light smile nodded: "I'm just responsible for making ideas, and it's also your business how to do the work well." It's also your business to make more money and earn less. How to distribute personnel is also your business, as long as you have no opinion, then everything is OK. ”
Li Xiaohua smiled even more when she stopped smiling, and turned her head to look at Bai Xue. Bai Xue waved her hand again and again: "Don't stare at me, your piece is your own responsibility, and you can do whatever you want." I'm afraid that you feel sorry for your relatives at home like this. I don't have to think about it to know that it's a very hard thing, and it's completely nothing compared to me keeping the store. ”
"How can this be hard?" Li Xiaohua asked puzzledly: "It's not hard at all." It's much better than my brother farming at home without a little harvest, and running outside can also give him a long experience. Don't worry about having no food to eat and no money to spend. This is already a very happy thing. ”
"Actually, my brother is very good at studying and works hard, but he said that he would give me the opportunity, because I am a girl, and I don't have to carry those old rules when I go out of the mountains, and the sky outside will make me live better." Li Xiaohua's voice gradually lowered, if it weren't for the quieter in the tea room, and the light smile happened to sit next to her, it is estimated that she would not be able to hear her words behind her: "This is what I owe my brother, even if I use my life to repay his favor." ”
Light smile knows that kind of mood, just like betraying his sister in his previous life. It's like being crushed by a boulder, breathless, and tortured day and night all the time, and this feeling will be carried all the way to the grave.
He patted Li Xiaohua's hand with a light smile and said, "It's going to be fine, everything is going to be fine." Xiaoxiao is extremely glad that she made this decision, and also thanks to her impulsiveness, inadvertently helped the family, which may change the lives of the brother and sister in the future, and will also drive many people to slowly walk out of the mountains, relying on their own labor and a little wisdom to build a better tomorrow.
Of course, these are all things that the country should care about, but Xiaoxiao feels that she is a lucky person, so she is doing her part, her meager strength.
Bai Xue and Li Xiaohua are both action-oriented people, and the two of them started to act immediately after the matter was agreed. It's a new industry, and it's still a new thing. Bai Xue has encountered a lot of walls in high society, because in the eyes of those rich ladies and wives, they resell things they don't need in this way as a kind of decline to others Xu Angbu's own family, and they have to rely on reselling expensive things to maintain the face of the family. Bai Xue, who was so full of confidence, was devastated, felt that this was an unworkable route, and wanted to give up. In the end, I don't know what the reason is, I gritted my teeth and persevered, and I wanted a lot of good things from my mother and my aunt and sister-in-law to maintain the store. After gaining confidence, Bai Xue will be more motivated and motivated. The business of second-hand stores has also slowly opened up and maintained, and now there are people who deliver goods to their doors without having to come to receive the goods in the snow.
Compared with Bai Xue's difficulty, Li Xiaohua's side was very relaxed and there were no waves. are all college students, and they can exchange money for the clothes they don't want, what's better than this, everyone is sorting out their clothes one after another, for fear that Li Xiaohua will be like this once, there will be no second time, and there will be no place to cry when the time comes.
"No, no." Li Xiaohua said with a smile: "I have now decided to do the business of recycling used clothes, you can rest assured, I will come back every Saturday, you only need to take out the clothes when you arrive." ”
This is the time agreed between Li Xiaohua and the surrounding college students, for your own school, as long as you carry your clothes to Li Xiaohua's dormitory, of course, if you don't want to move, you can also greet her and let her come to your dormitory to get it by yourself.
For this behavior of the girls, the boys laughed at it at first. But when I saw them take the money from selling their old clothes and turn around to buy new clothes, they were not calm, someone secretly contacted Li Xiaohua, and also learned from the girls to sell the old clothes. There are two if there is one. As soon as someone started, those who followed the trend immediately emerged, and later the boys no longer cared about face, and boldly let Li Xiaohua go to the dormitory to do business.
It's a wind, a whirlwind.
Li Xiaohua's business can be said to be quite smooth, and compared with Bai Xue, it is smooth sailing. By the time Li Xiaohua's brother Li Dayang arrived, Li Xiaohua had already collected almost half of the clothes on her dormitory balcony and handed them to her brother. Let him hurry up and try on these clothes.
Li Dayang felt Beijing from the wind in his hometown, and thought that something had happened to his sister. The family has no money, and the fare for this time is scraped together by the villagers. I didn't expect my sister to come here and have nothing to do, and she spent money to buy a lot of old clothes, and Li Dayang was angry, and she wanted to slap her hand when she reached out. After that, he stayed at a distance of one centimeter from his face. Holding his head and squatting in pain.
"Brother, do you think your sister and I'm spending money indiscriminately?" Brother and sister who grew up together since childhood, Li Xiaohua didn't understand anything when she saw Li Dayang's expression. "Don't be sad, listen to me first, and then make a decision after I finish speaking, okay?"
Li Dayang didn't gnaw, but Li Xiaohua, who knew him well, knew that his brother had accepted it. She told Li Dayang about the idea and method of light smile, and Li Dayang was so shocked that Li Dayang immediately raised his head: "Really? This can also make money? Why did your classmate tell you? Why didn't she do it herself? "In the end, it is my brother, and the questions asked are much more careful than Li Xiaohua.
"I don't know why, though. But I'm sure she won't lie to me. I'm just a poor student, what can people cheat, if you want money or not, if you don't look good, just a person. Li Xiaohua said very shamefully.
Li Dayang was very touched by his sister's words, yes, there is no foundation in his family that can be deceived by people, since this is the case, what else is there to be afraid of. "Okay, sister, I believe in you, and I believe in your classmates. This time, I will take these clothes to take a look, rest assured, my brother will definitely earn your capital back. Li Dayang turned around and picked up the oversized woven bag and thought about leaving. With his idea, the sooner he sells the goods in his hand, the more he can really rest assured that he can receive the money.
"Brother, you just arrived, find a cheap hotel next to the school today to have a good rest, have some food, and leave tomorrow." Li Xiaohua grabbed Li Dayang.
"No, my brother is not tired or hungry. Leave early and sell things with peace of mind. Li Dayang waved his hand, now he still has money to live in a hotel for dinner, and he has a little money on him, which is the money for the return ticket.
"Brother, I know what you're worried about? Don't worry, my classmate borrowed my start-up capital. Otherwise, where do you think I got the money to buy clothes? You can stay in peace today and listen to me. Li Xiaohua said nothing and refused to let go of Li Dayang's hand, his brother was too hard, obviously only three years older than him, but he looked like he was more than ten years older than himself, like his father.
Li Dayang didn't mess up, and finally stayed at Li Xiaohua's insistence.
It was the first time he had eaten such a delicious meal, the first time he had slept in such a comfortable bed, and the first time he could sleep without getting up early to work.
However, for Li Dayang, who is used to getting up early, he feels that this thing is too luxurious and he can't afford it. He got dressed, washed his face, touched the money on his body, which Xiaohua left for himself last night as travel and meal expenses, picked up the woven bag, and strode out of the door.
After leaving the room, Li Dayang bought the cheapest steamed buns at a roadside stall, and asked the boss for a bowl of boiled water, so he ate it in a big gulp.
After eating three steamed buns in a row, Li Dayang felt that something was slightly in his stomach, but Li Dayang didn't eat it again, he knew that it didn't matter if he ate five more with his own amount of food. He bargained with the boss, and forced the price of steamed buns from five cents to four cents, in addition to the three that he ate, Li Dayang packed seventeen more, so that it was just twenty Not that the weather is hot now, I am afraid that the steamed buns will not be able to be put away for a long time, otherwise Li Dayang will buy more, this is the dry food he prepared for himself, and it is the food he went out this time.
Li Xiaohua counted the time in anxious waiting.
Half a month later, the eldest brother of the Li family returned to Li Xiaohua with a dusty face. Although the man was very haggard, his hair was long and oily, and his beard looked very embarrassed, his eyes were shining, very bright, and full of excitement and suppressed happiness.
"Brother, how's it going?" Li Xiaohua couldn't wait to ask.
"Sister, look at me like this, let me wash my face and drink saliva, right?" The eldest brother of the Li family uncharacteristically did not answer his sister's question directly, but pointed to his own dignity to speak.
Looking at the sloppy eldest brother, Li Xiaohua couldn't say that you don't take care of it, tell me the answer first. I had to wait patiently for the eldest brother to wash up.
Li Dayang flashed a smile, and calmly entered the bathroom of the hotel to take care of his appearance like a beggar. After a simple cleanup, Li Dayang drank a glass of boiling water after coming out, and then mysteriously took out the money from several sewing places in the dirty and torn clothes.
"It's ...... This is ......" Looking at the large pile of money in different denominations on the bed, Li Xiaohua lost her cool for the first time and stammered speechless.
"That's the money I took the clothes you bought to sell this time. You count, it is two thousand and fifty-six dollars, and after spending my lodging and tickets, there are still one thousand eight hundred and thirty-three dollars left. Li Dayang was also very excited when he said that, with so much money, he only earned a harvest that he might not have if he worked hard at home for a year. (To be continued......)
