Chapter 61: A New Way to Make Money
After dinner, the hostess rested in the living room for a while.
Probably because of the good luck these days, the hostess sat on the sofa and drank Longjing tea for a while, and then went out to play mahjong again.
After the mayor's wife left, Reiko followed her instructions and went into the storage room next to the nanny's room alone.
Standing at the door of the storage room, Reiko looked at the room full of cigarettes, liquor, souvenirs and other gifts for a while, and then chose two exquisitely framed bottles of "Moutai" wine and two "Chinese" cigarettes, each packed in two plastic bags, and returned to her nanny's room.
Reiko called Yanyan and knew that the bus ticket that Yanyan bought was at half past nine tomorrow morning. In order not to delay tomorrow's trip, she began to pack her bags home.
Putting it away, Reiko suddenly felt that it was hard to stay up until the Dragon Boat Festival and go home, if she only brought two bottles of liquor and two cigarettes, it seemed that there were too few things!
After all, there are younger brothers and sisters at home!
As an older sister, I have been working for more than half a year, and I can't go home for the holidays, and I don't have an explanation for my younger siblings empty-handed, right?
Well, no, you must not face your brother and sister empty-handed!
Luckily, nothing happened tonight.
So, Reiko decided to buy some gifts for her younger brother and sister.
Reiko took out the small purse hidden under the bed and looked at it, there were only a few dozen yuan in it.
Wuzi shook her head, Reiko took out her bank card, and after a brief tidying up, she went out alone.
Coming to the street, the night in the provincial capital has a strong festive atmosphere:
On the towering buildings on both sides of the street, all the side facing the street are hung with brilliant lights;
On the big trees and small trees on both sides of the road, there are also bunches of colorful bead bulbs, which flicker in turn and emit faint colored light in turn.
Due to her comfortable mood, Reiko easily blended into the bustling flow of people, looking left and right, carefully looking at the prosperity and liveliness of the provincial capital.
Unconsciously, she compared her hometown with here, feeling that her hometown was too backward, too remote, and too lonely!
As she walked, Reiko's heart suddenly jumped!
It turned out that she saw a small shop that was inconspicuous but brightly lit.
At the entrance of the shop, there is a one-meter-high, eighty-centimeter-wide sign that reads:
Recycle high-end tobacco and alcohol at a high price!
Reiko looked into the store and saw that there were many expensive cigarettes and liquor, as well as many high-end supplements and brand-name foods neatly placed on the counter inside.
Among them, the most conspicuous and prominent are famous liquors such as "Moutai", "Wuliangye" and "Jiannanchun", as well as famous cigarettes such as "Zhonghua", "Panda" and "Diamond"!
A high-priced acquisition?
Reiko touched the bank card that was about to go to the bank to withdraw money, and thought:
If I sell the "Moutai" wine and "Zhonghua" cigarettes that my aunt gave to my father and mother, won't I have to go to the bank to withdraw money?
Thinking about it the other way, Reiko felt that it was inappropriate:
If my aunt knew that I was doing this, she would definitely be upset!
It was a holiday gift from my aunt to my father and mother!
Reiko hesitated.
She paced twice in front of the shop, walking past and back, walking back and forth.
Think about your parents and family, what you need most now is not "Moutai" wine and "Chinese" cigarettes!
The cigarettes my father smokes every day are low-grade cigarettes for five or six yuan a pack; I also drank low-grade wine under ten yuan.
If you want to drink "Moutai" wine and smoke "Chinese" cigarettes, he is far from that kind of day, no, my family is still far from that kind of day!
What is most needed at home right now?
It's money, it's cash!
Now that my aunt has given me two bottles of wine and two cigarettes, I have the right to decide what to do with them!
Today, I first sold the cigarettes and alcohol that my aunt gave me, and then used the money from the sale of tobacco and alcohol to buy two bottles of cheap wine and two cheaper cigarettes for my father.
When you get home, don't you just report it to your parents truthfully?
I'm sure my parents won't blame me.
Not only will you not blame, but you may even praise me!
Thinking about it like this, Reiko made up her mind.
So, she boldly walked into the shop.
At this time, there were two men chatting in the shop, one was thirty-two and three in terms of age, and the other was almost twenty-six or seven.
After Reiko entered the door, she glanced at the two men, and then glanced at the cigarettes and alcohol on the counter, and then tentatively asked the man who was about thirty-two or three years old:
"Excuse me, do you buy 'Moutai' liquor and 'Zhonghua' cigarettes here?"
"Isn't it written on the sign outside? Don't you know how to read? β
Unexpectedly, the young man in his twenties and seventeens, as if he had eaten a gun, coldly choked Reiko.
"Go, go, don't talk nonsense, don't spoil my business!"
But the man who was thirty-two or three knew how to count.
He stopped the young man at the counter who was talking in a choking voice, turned his head to Reiko, whose face was a little red, and said:
"Beauty, don't pay attention to him, he's here to chat in my shop. Excuse me, what kind of alcohol and tobacco do you have? β
"I have two bottles of 'Moutai' wine and two 'Chinese' cigarettes. Excuse me, at what price did you buy? β
Listening to the elder man's words, Reiko felt more comfortable.
"Oh, the current 'Moutai' wine is 800 yuan a bottle, and the 'Zhonghua' cigarette is 500 yuan a bottle."
The older man replied.
"Just, is it so much money?"
Reiko asked casually.
In fact, Reiko has no idea about the current market situation of "buying high-end tobacco and alcohol at a high price".
She was just worried that someone would slaughter the monkey, so she asked rhetorically.
From the bottom of her heart, Reiko thinks the price is already very good!
If you sell the two bottles of wine and two cigarettes that your aunt gave you at the price that the older man just said, wouldn't you have an extra 2,600 yuan for nothing?
"What are you talking about, you are too low to offer such a high price?"
At this point, the young man interjected again:
"In recent years, the country has been engaged in anti-corruption and clean government, and no one dares to give gifts to officials, we accept your cigarettes and alcohol, and we don't know who to sell them to next! You don't have any risk when we buy tobacco and alcohol? We put in so much tobacco and alcohol, and we can't eat it as food! β
Reiko was blushing again by the young man.
"Okay, okay, tell you not to make a noise, don't make a noise, you interject again!"
When the older man saw that Reiko was no longer talking, he hurriedly stopped the young man and said:
"It's hard to make money now, you really don't want to ruin my business! Beauty, do you really have 'Moutai' and 'China'? Is 'China' soft or hard? β
Soft or hard?
This time Reiko is in trouble.
She never smoked, and although her father smoked, he never smoked cigarettes above ten yuan.
Reiko doesn't know anything about high-end cigarettes.
So she didn't know that "Chinese" cigarettes were divided into soft packs and hard packs.
What to do?
Reiko relied on her imagination and thought for a moment, thinking that a hard bag must be worth more than a soft bag, so she replied: "Hard bag." β
"Oh, it's not good to have a hard bag, I'll give you three hundred yuan at most."
The older man shook his head with a little regret.
Oh, it seems that the soft bag is still valuable!
Reiko thought to herself:
Anyone who came to Mayor Wang's house to give gifts must have given valuable cigarettes, so he had an idea, and then said:
"There are also soft packs."
"If it's soft-packed, it's five hundred yuan a piece! When will you be able to bring it? β
The older man asked kindly.
"Are you going to cash right away?"
Reiko asked.
"Cash, of course! You don't even know this, what kind of tobacco and alcohol are you selling? β
Unexpectedly, the young man spoke again, and as soon as he spoke, he propped people up against the wall.
"Ouchββ! Can't you speak? If you don't speak, I won't sell you like a dumb person! You go back for me first! β
Presumably, the older man was really worried about missing his business.
He glared at the young man fiercely, and opened his mouth to blast him away.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, don't talk about it!"
The young man shook his head and said:
"The current tobacco and alcohol business is really far from what it was last year. Brother Liang, I'm leaving! β
He greeted the older man and walked out of the store in a huff.
"Little sister, go and bring the cigarettes and alcohol, how many are there?"
The man in the store called "Brother Liang", after the young man left, asked Reiko with a pleasant face.
"I have two bottles of 'Moutai' wine and two 'Chinese' cigarettes."
When Reiko saw the young man leave, her mood immediately relaxed a lot.
"Oh, if it's a genuine product, I'll - so be, I see you're selling tobacco and alcohol for the first time, as long as it's a genuine product, I'll give you another hundred yuan when the time comes!"
It seems that the man named Brother Liang does know how to do business.
He may have been afraid that after Reiko asked the price, he would go back and get the cigarettes and alcohol and not come to him, but sell them to other houses, so he specially promised to add another 100 yuan.
Wowββ!
Reiko was secretly happy in her heart, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
She decided not to go to the bank.
She decided to return to her master's house immediately and immediately go to get "Moutai" wine and "Chinese" cigarettes.
On the way back, Reiko specially had an extra heart.
When she passed by another tobacco and liquor shop, she deliberately went in to see the price of high-end tobacco and alcohol, and found that the lowest price of "Moutai" wine in it was 1,3581 bottles; As for the "Chinese" cigarettes, the soft packaging is 720 yuan a pack!
Obediently, the recycling price of the recycling store compares:
The price difference of a bottle of "Moutai" wine is 5505!
The price difference of a "Chinese" cigarette is 202!
The small tobacco and alcohol recycling shop just now made too much money and was too ruthless, right?
No, when you take the cigarettes and alcohol and go to the recycling store later, you must bargain with that "Brother Liang"!
Reiko soon returned to the Wang family.
After entering the door, she quickly took the cigarettes and alcohol, and then went out again, and soon returned to the tobacco and alcohol recycling store just now.
