Chapter 664: Do Something
Life is always full of helplessness, especially in backward rural areas, the gravitational pull of reality is too heavy, so heavy that any dream is extremely luxurious, two young people who are also from the countryside, but are unwilling to stay in the countryside, express the same feelings.
At this point, the two friends ceased to speak, and fell into a kind of contemplation for a long time; The old horseshoe watch on the table walked with a loud noise, and the room was filled with smoke; The movie theater not far outside had probably just ended, and the cacophony of voices coming in through the open windows still didn't break the silence of the cabin.
"Have you ever thought about doing something?" After a long time, Shen Long broke the silence, he was willing to be a laborer in order to better experience Sun Shaoping's life, and waited for Tian Xiaoxia, if he could make his friends live better, he was also willing to help.
"What can you do? Now there is no place to recruit workers, and I can't pass the entrance examination. Jin Bo looked out the window in confusion as the crowd came out of the cinema talking and laughing, his dullness seemed out of place compared to all this.
"Now the policy has changed, it is not the same as before, even if you don't go to work in a public unit, you can support yourself." Shen Long said that it is difficult for rural youth to get ahead, not only because of the poverty of their families, the lack of social connections, but also the lack of vision, which makes it difficult for them to see various opportunities.
"I didn't mean to ask you to come with me to pick up work." Shen Long continued, "These days, I have been walking around Huangyuan after work, and I have seen people selling clothes from Guangdong, which are much cheaper than ours in Yuanxi County, and it is estimated that they are also wholesaled from Xi'an, and Xi'an is wholesaled from Guangdong. ”
"We can't afford to go to Xi'an or Guangdong now, but it's no problem to get some clothes in Huangyuan and sell them in Yuanxi County." Jin Bo has an active brain and a lot of courage, he may not be able to do this well, and he also has his own unique advantages.
"Is this going to work? It costs a lot of money to buy goods, right? And if you can't sell it, you'll be smashed in your hands. Jin Bo was a little moved, but more hesitant, as mentioned earlier, children born in rural families are in financial difficulties, which causes them to dare not take risks, because if they fail, their families will fall into a place of no return.
"Why can't it be? I saw in Yuanxi County that as soon as those people took out their clothes, the people in the county rushed to buy them. "The years of unrest have just passed, people are beginning to learn to dress themselves, and the colors of the clothes on the streets have changed from simple blue-gray to colorful, and people are hungry for more beautiful clothes.
For a small inland city like Yuanxi County, clothing from Guangdong means fashion and trend, Hou Yuying, a lame woman who liked Sun Shaoping when she was in high school, her man is doing this now, and her business is not bad; At present, those dealers who buy and sell have not had time to occupy all the markets in the original West County, and there is still a lot of blank.
"Let's batch a few fewer pieces first, even if the price is a little more expensive, as long as you can sell it, you can make money, and then make more money." Shen Long nodded, "In this way, even if there is a case, it will not hurt the muscles and bones." ”
"And what if you get caught?" Jin Bo still has some concerns, after all, this kind of behavior still has to be pulled out and criticized a few years ago.
"It doesn't matter, Hou Yuying's man is doing this now, and she hasn't been arrested." Shen Long continued to persuade, "Let's not go to other places first, just sell it in Yuanxi County, even if we encounter something, can't we still find someone!" The county seat is so big, so you can't find a few acquaintances? At most, I will talk to you for a while, and the things will definitely not be confiscated. ”
"And you can save money more than others, your father often drives the mail car back to the original west, you prepare the goods and hitchhike back, and you don't have to buy a ticket." If you bring too many things, the shuttle driver will also have opinions, and at this time you have to show it more or less, or give a pack of cigarettes, or ask for a drink, these are all costs.
"It's not that I can't do it when I hear you say this, it's just that I don't have any confidence in my heart alone, or you will do it with me? As you said, it's better than a job? Jin was heartbroken, but he pulled Shen Long again.
"This is suitable for you to do, and it will be a little inappropriate for me to get in again." Shen Long hurriedly refused, if he really wanted to do business, he would have done it a long time ago, and he would have waited until now, "Although the relationship between the two of us is good, your father is the mail truck driver, you are his son, you often hitchhike even if the unit people know about it, they won't say anything, and it will be inappropriate for me to get involved." ”
"If you don't feel at ease, I'll take you to the street to ask about the market now, and then you go back to Yuanxi County to take a look at the market there, if you think this business is capable, let's do it, if you can't do it, forget it." Shen Long persuaded, "This is not just a matter of making a few bucks, when we have experience, we can go to Xi'an and Guangdong to buy goods, and then not only sell things to the original West County, maybe we can also sell them to Inner Mongolia and Qinghai!" I think it's also a way to train people. ”
At this time, Hongguoguo's talk about money was not very suitable, so Shen Long talked about seeing the world and exercising again, especially focusing on the word Qinghai, hoping to impress Jin Bo.
"Let's go, it's boring at home, let's go out and have a look first." Jin Bo was really tempted, he was now always worried about the Tibetan girl in Qinghai, but Huangyuan was too far to Qinghai, it was not easy to go once, if he could make some money and have the experience of wandering outside, maybe he could really find that girl.
Shen Long took him around the street, asked the price in front of the stalls, and by the way, he found out which of these people was the first and whose goods were scattered from with Shen Long's experience.
"Last time, Jin Xiu wrote to say that her classmate bought a similar dress, and the amount she spent was more than double the amount we just asked." Jin Bo soon realized that this business could be done, Jin Xiu was his sister, and Sun Shaoping's sister Sun Lanxiang were both studying in the former West County Middle School.
"Don't be in a hurry to make up your mind, you go back tomorrow to have a look, ask the price over there, and then find an acquaintance to ask about the policy, and then decide." Now Shen Long turned around again and persuaded Jin Bo not to worry.
The next day, Jin Bo went home, stayed for two days and came back to find Shen Long, and said that he had been inspecting the market for a long time, no, at this time, Jin Bo didn't realize that his behavior was to inspect the market, he was sure that this business could be done, and he also found a place to set up a stall, and dredged up the relationship in advance.
Shen Long helped him find a large wholesaler, and got the first batch of clothes at a preferential price, and then Jin Bo returned to Yuanxi County with these clothes and started his new attempt.
