The first day's profit was 200 yuan, what a brilliant beginning. This has far exceeded my expectations, and of course it is also a testament to the staggering profit margins of the book. In 1990, I bought expired books, such as the Selected Poems of Mistral, with a price tag of three yuan, but the purchase price was only five cents, and I picked them up like picking up garbage, and finally sold them for one yuan and five dimes a piece, and the profit of the books was 200%, which in my opinion was as profitable as the real estate industry in later generations.

In the first few days of opening, we made a dozen posters, stamped them with the seal of the club center (anyway, this newsstand is indeed the property of the club center), and then pasted them all over the school, and I even went to the small shop outside the school and asked the shop owner to put the posters next to the counter, on the condition that I bought a lot of snacks and sundries.

During this time, the call for papers for the class journal is also underway, Gu Xin and Liu Lili have collected more than ten works of various colors, because there are only 32 people in our class, so the limit number of works is 32, of course, it is not excluded that Lao Hu finally asked me to write three articles and other rigid requirements.

That night, I took a lot of snacks (that is, the store bought them in exchange for the right to post posters), found Liu Lili with Gu Xin and Shen Hongtao, and then the four of us ran to the special classroom of the Chinese department for the first class journal review.

During the review, Liu Lili looked at the manuscript unhurriedly while munching on melon seeds, looking like she was in a good time. Hong Tao's face was full of frustration and loss, like an angry little daughter-in-law, bowing his head and saying nothing. Gu Xin and I were sorting out the manuscript and revising the manuscript that had been delineated. I saw that Hong Tao looked committed, so I said to him, Hong Tao, come and see this manuscript.

Hong Tao snorted, lazily walked over to take a look, startled him, and trembled with the manuscript in his hand. It turned out that I showed him a small poem by Liu Lili, which was written about a little sorrow such as a girl's Huaichun, sincere and naïve.

Liu Lili didn't know when she noticed our strange behavior, she stood up, suddenly snatched her poem manuscript, and said loudly to Hong Tao, what do you see! Is it good-looking?

Her tone was fierce, at least I had never seen the haughty princess speak in such a fierce tone. Hong Tao's face suddenly turned blue and white, and his lips began to tremble. I was also enraged all of a sudden, and I retorted loudly, Liu Lili, you don't know that Hong Tao is an editor, and he has the right to read any manuscript, what qualifications do you have to be angry with him? What is your attitude towards your classmates?

My throat was very loud, I must have looked terrible at that moment, in short, Liu Lili was frightened by my angry shout, she looked at me in surprise and fear, and then lowered her head to avoid my gaze, I noticed that her face quickly turned red, and her eyes had begun to flash with tears.

At this time, the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, and I also regretted that I shouldn't have scolded Lili like this, after all, she was a girl, so I had to let her some, besides, the unlucky bitter master Shen Hongtao was not angry, why should I be upset? Or am I being too righteous? But Hong Tao is my good classmate, and Liu Lili is also my good classmate.

I cheekily said to Liu Lili, I'm sorry Lili, I was impulsive just now, and my words may be a little heavy, no matter what, we are a good colleague in the editorial department, a comrade-in-arms in the trenches, and a grasshopper on a rope - don't you go to your heart.

Liu Lili couldn't help but burst into laughter, and scolded with a smile, who is with you on a rope, you are a grasshopper. As she spoke, she flirtatiously punched me in the arm.

Hong Tao was also amused by me at first, but when he saw Liu Lili's kissing behavior, a haze shrouded his handsome face.

Afterwards, I also asked Hong Tao, why did Liu Lili look very good with him for a while and ignore him for a while? What the hell happened to them.

Hong Tao said that he couldn't figure it out himself, Liu Lili was indeed hot and cold to him, which hurt his little heart very much. He also said that Liu Lili must still like me very much, so she and Hong Tao have no results.

I can tell you, I have a good relationship with Li Yun, and Lili doesn't know, does she still have illusions? Besides, I believe that Lili is a cheerful girl who can afford to let go, and it is impossible for her to be obsessed all the time.

Shen Hongtao sighed and said, Old Zhou, are you and Li Yun also having a problem, in the past, the two of you went to study at night, but now it is rare to see the two of you together.

My heart jumped, thinking that Hong Tao was right, I really hadn't been in the right pair with Li Yun for a while.

All I know is that history has been changed, both by fate and by my own subjective factors, after all, the road ahead has lost its measurable trajectory and has become very, very unpredictable.

Li Yun, is she a comma or an exclamation mark on the emotional trajectory of my life?

My gut told me that it looked like she wasn't at least the end.

Li Yun really rarely eats with me now, and there are reasons for her and mine, because I have to take care of the newspaper kiosk after all, and I am embarrassed to let Xiaohong and Puguang be too tired, and lunch and dinner have to be sent to the kiosk. So the speed at which I went to the cafeteria to eat and then deliver the food was really like a rapid train fighting, so fast that I couldn't believe it, naturally, even if Li Yun wanted to accompany me to eat, it was estimated that she would not be able to accompany me. Sometimes when I met Li Yun in the classroom, she would smile at me, but it was as bitter as Obama smiling at Kim Jong-il.

After a week like this, the business of the bookstore has been relatively good, especially the sales of romance novels are frighteningly good, think about it, there were no computers and networks in that era, there were no mobile phones, there was only one TV in a building, and people were relatively conservative, not so good at playing (in the early nineties, there was really nothing to play), so, the biggest pastime for girls is probably to read books, read romance books, and fantasize about the wonderful prince's kiss, which can be regarded as an important seasoning for boring life.

We once took stock, seven days after opening, our sales have exceeded 4,000 yuan, and I estimated in my heart that we have earned a total of more than 1,200 yuan, which can be called a good start. But the problem also came out, I couldn't let the editor of that publishing house control my biggest incoming channel alone, he obviously made more money than me, and I needed to find one more channel so that I wouldn't hang myself from a tree.

With my "unpredictable foresight" of economic development trends, I clearly understood at that time how much it would be a loss if the purchase channel was monopolized.

Monopoly is indeed the enemy of a free economy.
