Chapter Twenty-Seven: Business Is Bleak
Zhao Wencheng asked: "Is Ruan Min pregnant or are you pregnant?" ”
Wu Yi said seriously: "I quit my job with the boss just now. ”
The three of them were a little surprised, Wu Yi said: "I want to buy the 30 sets of TV VCDs from the electrical appliance factory, the price has been negotiated, 260 sets, Boss Tan will give me another set of better machines, I want to open a movie store." ”
Zhao Wencheng asked: "Is it the kind last time I took you to see a 2 yuan a disc?" Where did you get that much money? ”
Wu Yi said: "That's right, I discussed it with my father, and he was very supportive of me and immediately transferred money to me." ”
It happened so suddenly, and the three of them didn't know what to say for a while.
Wu Yi continued: "There just happened to be such a batch of goods, my dad and Ruan Min were very supportive of me, Ruan Min also specially asked for leave tonight to accompany me to find a store, I know that it is not good for me to leave everyone behind, but this time this is a great opportunity for me, I can't miss it." ”
Zekuan said: "That's right, such an opportunity is rare, your father and Ruan Min support you like this, and our 、、、 are happy for you." ”
Wu Yi patted him on the shoulder and said: "Zekuan, thank you for your understanding, in fact, it doesn't matter without me, the three of you can also do well, and the rest of the profits from the sale of those goods will be shared by the three of you, and you will come to my store to watch movies when you are free in the future, all for free." ”
Wu Dangui said: "Then I congratulate you, you have become the real boss." ”
Zhao Wencheng also smiled and said: "If you leave us now, you can make a fortune later, but you can't forget us." ”
Wu Yi said: "Of course, you are my best friends, and I will have to ask you for help then." ”
In this way, the "stall foursome" has become a threesome, and it is still souls like Wu Yi who have lost their motivation, and they don't seem to be working hard.
Zhao Wencheng put his arm on Zekuan's shoulder and said, "Zekuan, Wu Yi opened his own shop and became the boss, and we were abandoned by him like these goods that couldn't be sold." ”
Zekuan said: "You can't say that, he has such an economic acumen and the support of his family, of course he has to seize the opportunity, is he still with us to guard the stall here?" ”
Zhao Wencheng said: "Alas! The most important thing is that we don't have a good dad like him. ”
Wu Yi found a storefront, and the factory was not open that afternoon, so he called the three of them to help.
The driver, Hu Jian, drove the car in the factory to pull them to the electrical factory, Boss Tan's attitude was completely different, patted Wu Yi on the shoulder and said: "Xiao Wu, you are here, the good set of machines sent to you has been put together, come, go to the office to drink tea." ”
Wu Yi said: "Thank you first, Boss Tan, I'm in a hurry, I still have to be busy when I go back, next time!" ”
Boss Tan said: "Okay, then next time, young people are motivated and promising!" Take care of it in the future, I can get you any kind of machine here. ”
Wu Yi's shop is in the area of Yongbian Street, in a small alley near the ice rink, the small truck can just get in, the house is a little old, a little dim, the gray and sand on the wall are seriously peeling, the wires have been installed, and the long tables and stools have been set up.
Zhao Wencheng said: "I said Boss Wu, it's not good for you to find this place, it's too dark and old." ”
Wu Yi said: "I don't open a high-end theater, it's cheap and close to the ice rink, and the flow of people is not bad. People are 2 yuan to watch a disc, I charge 1 yuan 5 first, and then increase the price when there are more people who know, I have calculated, an average of 2 hours for a movie, an average of 5 films a day for a machine, and you can return to the cost in a month or two. ”
They moved the TV and VCD set out of the car, Hu Jian wanted to go back to the factory first, Zekuan, Zhao Wencheng and Wu Dangui helped set up the TV and VCD and plug in the cable.
The innermost part of the shop is a toilet and a small room, with a bed and a table, a bedroom and an office, and a box of DVDs on the table, Wu Yi put the good set of machines given by Boss Tan in the room for his own use.
Busy until the evening, when it was done, Wu Yi stood at the door, watching everything in the store, his face was full of spirit.
Wu Yi said: "Brothers, it's hard work, it will open tomorrow, there is no class in the factory, you come to fill me with popularity, now let's have a good meal to celebrate." ”
They went to a food stall outside, Hu Jian and Ruan Min also came, ordered a table of dishes, as well as beer and drinks, and everyone ate and drank happily.
The next day, when the factory was out of business, three people came, Ruan Min was dressed more beautifully than usual, and he and Wu Yi were nailing movies and celebrity posters to the gray and peeling places on the walls.
Zhao Wencheng said with a smile: "It turns out that my sister-in-law arrived so early. ”
Ruan Min glared at him and said, "Don't scream. ”
Zhao Wencheng immediately changed his words: "Yes, boss lady." ”
Ruan Min didn't deny it at this time, and said to them: "Help, there are many more." ”
Everyone hurriedly helped nail up all the posters, and Ruan Min and Wu Yi pasted a big red paper on the door, which read: "The opening is auspicious, the first three days are discounted, one yuan to watch a movie, and snacks are free." ”
After being busy, let Ze Kuan, Zhao Wencheng and Wu Dangui dress up as customers to put the disc to see, most of the discs are Hong Kong and Taiwan movies dubbed in Chinese, and some Cantonese, after all, this is Guangzhou, there are many Cantonese people, and there are some American Hollywood blockbusters.
Wu Yi and Ruan Min poured out snacks such as melon seeds, peanuts and candies and served them in fruit bowls for people to eat as they pleased, and then the two stood at the door and beckoned passers-by to come in.
Because there are discounts and free food, people keep coming in to see it, and the business is very good on the first day, and by the evening it is almost full.
Zekuan and the others also went back to set up a stall.
Zhao Wencheng said with emotion: "I understand now, Wu Yi likes Ruan Min not only because of her good background, but also because of her economic acumen. ”
Zekuan nodded and said, "Yes, Wu Yi and her are exactly the same pair." ”
Wu Dangui said: "She can only look down on people like Wu Yi." ”
Since the three of them were left, the business of the stall has become more and more bleak, and they have become more and more unmotivated, and they are almost lazy to shout.
There wasn't much left, so it was laid out with a sheet.
Zekuan and Wu Dangui were both reading, Zhao Wencheng was bored and panicked, so he began to behave as a demon, pulling his clothes and exposing his shoulders, pretending to be a woman, drilling his head into Zekuan's arms, and said in a strange voice: "Kuankuan, you know that you don't care about reading books, is this broken book as good as mine?" ”
Zekuan pushed him away disgustingly and tremblingly, and said, "The broken book is not as good as you, but it is more nutritious than you and not as disgusting as you." ”
"Nasty!"
Zhao Wencheng turned to Wu Dangui on the other side, and couldn't be harassed, so he asked, "Brother Shan, what was our net profit last night?" ”
Wu Dangui said: "A total of 10 yuan, I ate 1 yuan of melon seeds." ”
"Tonight?"
"Sold 1 nail clipper and made 9 cents."
Zhao Wencheng mourned: "I can't even afford to eat steamed buns, what's the point." He stretched out his foot and kicked out a few pairs of socks.
