008: Preparing to set up an electrical stall
Qi Yueran changed the medicine and returned to the Yongfeng hardware store.
After working hard for most of the day, I was finally able to lie on my small bed and rest my legs and feet for a while.
The body is idle, but the brain is not idle.
Qi Yueran couldn't help but turn over and get out of bed when she thought of the first step of her own business, setting up a stall, and now it was just a prototype in her mind.
Pick up a pen and paper and start calculating the materials that need to be prepared in the afternoon and the starting amount of the stall.
First of all, the toolbox must be prepared to disassemble the shells of various electrical appliances.
All kinds of glue are also necessary, wires, plastic shells, etc.
The easiest and quickest way to repair an object is with glue.
In these years, the electrical appliances are broken, and most of them are absolutely related to the burning of the circuit, so the welding gun has to be prepared.
After doing so, she already had a bit of a headache.
If you want to start successfully, it seems that it is still very difficult to set up a stall, and it is far from being as simple as she thought.
Not to mention how much it will cost to buy these tools, she has almost forgotten about the relevant knowledge of circuits, and she has to find a way to rent a book and start learning again.
Qi Yueran not only wants to make simple repair products, but also wants to give full play to his strengths and get some big orders.
Nowadays, people pay attention to the practicality of the product, and it is best to have enough cost performance.
But this does not mean that ordinary people do not have aesthetics.
Especially in the vicinity of the university town, there are many handsome men and women who pursue fashion.
Qi Yueran calculated that in addition to simple home appliance maintenance, he could also renovate the appearance of the product according to his professional aesthetic and design knowledge.
After a period of time, with a certain amount of original funds, they will have the ability to launch a series of electrical products designed by themselves.
As for the transformation of the appearance of the product, she is experienced and can do it herself, and the design cost is almost non-existent.
In this way, in the same track of products, the quality and price are the same, consumers will inevitably choose a more delicate and beautiful appearance.
Coupled with the accumulation of customers in the early stage, it should be able to obtain a good market.
The basic plan has been laid out step by step on paper.
She also has a clearer idea and steps for her initial plan.
Qi Yueran has a good habit that he has formed in the workplace in his previous life.
It's always been a good idea to start when you're ready, and you won't start easily without a foolproof feasibility analysis.
The first step is to prepare a little information about electrical products of this era.

In this day and age, buying books is still a very luxurious thing.
Most people rent novels at bookstalls and go back to read them, but it's a college town and there are two or three bookstores.
The noon break passed quietly, and Qi Yueran packed up his instrument and prepared to go out.
When I first arrived, I didn't know which bookstore was the best, so I had to go to the street and inquire first.
Qi Yueran had just taken two steps at the side gate of Normal University, and he saw a few beautiful young students who had just come out of the school gate, wearing really good shirts.
She hurriedly stepped forward and asked them.
"Hello classmate, I want to borrow books, which bookstore is the best near here?"
"A bookstore?"
The classmates were very enthusiastic and began to discuss it.
"Everybody says the Sunshine Bookstore on East Street is the best."
"It's not the biggest, but it's full of books and it's a good value for money."
"Although the price of short-term rentals is the same for those bookstores, Sunshine Bookstore has the highest discount for long-term rentals."
"The member's stored value is more discounted, and students can also erase it. That's where I got my membership card! โ
"I did it too, and it was quite a good deal, so a large number of students in the university town were regular customers there."
โโฆโฆโ
After listening to the recommendations of his classmates, Qi Yueran probably knew what to expect.
"Okay, thank you for the recommendation, I'll take a look."
"You're welcome!"
"Goodbye."
Walking on the road, Qi Yueran was still thinking in her heart, this boss's vision was quite advanced, and the bookstore had a membership system early on.
This business model is worth emulating in the future.
ยท
"Boss, do you have a book on repairs?"
Qi Yueran walked into the Sunshine Bookstore, took off her straw hat, and asked sweatingly.
At that time, not many people paid attention to sun protection, and this straw hat was still left over from the original owner's farming when he was a child.
It's just over two o'clock in the afternoon, and college students generally have classes.
The weather is not as hot as it has been since the 2020s, and there has been no large-scale global warming.
However, the heat is not forgiving, and this time of the season is the hottest time, and it still makes people sleepy when they stay in the room.
The guy who watched the store was a young man, estimated to be about the same age as Qi Yueran.
Wearing a sleeveless white vest, with an inch head, he shook a fan while closing his eyes and recuperating.
I guess it's the shopkeeper's son.
The young man looked at the guest, yawned, came to his senses, and got up from the chaise longue to receive him.
He was not tall, but he was sturdy, and he was probably capable of manual work.
"It's rare to come at this time...... There are books for repair, there are them, you are a girl, learn this? โ
It is estimated that Qi Yueran was regarded as a college student next door, so he asked.
Compared with yesterday, Qi Yueran went out at noon and cleaned up again, and his clothes were also clean.
is the most different from the original owner, her eyes are full of expectation, ambition, and she can't hide her cleverness.
It's no wonder that the bookstore guys mistook her.
"yes, I'm going to set up my own stall."
Qi Yueran's face was still flushed, and she replied while fanning the wind with a straw hat.
"Not a student anymore?"
"Not anymore."
Qi Yueran shook her head regretfully, but after graduating from graduate school in her previous life, she could be regarded as having completed her coursework as best she could.
It's just a pity that when she was in graduate school, her most admired mentor had passed away.
So it's a shame that I didn't become a student of that professor.
"Oh, I see you miss students a lot, and it feels like you're about the same age as me."
"yes, I'm eighteen years old, what do you call you?"
"My name is Cheng Cheng, and I'm nineteen years old this year, so you still have to call me Brother Sheng!"
Cheng Cheng said with some smugness.
Most of the college students here are older than him, and he looks young, so people usually call him "little brother".
It's rare to meet someone younger than him, still a girl, although it looks strong, but I want to listen to "brother" with great interest.
Qi Yueran couldn't help but complain in her heart, if she said her real age, she was almost ten years older than this little kid!
But people are under the eaves, and they are still counting on the small boss to discount them later, so they have to bow their heads.
"Okay, Brother Cheng, have you found the book?"
"Come on, these are all these."
Cheng Cheng took out a stack of books from the warehouse behind him, which looked very heavy, and the green tendons on his arms were also a little protruding.
Qi Yueran hurriedly moved the top few books to reduce weight.
Put it on the table and look at the table of contents for each book.
"I borrowed a lot of books for repair, so I didn't put them out, I found them for you in the warehouse, and I can still get them if they are not enough."
"Enough is enough!"
Qi Yueran hurriedly replied.
Recently, I have been in contact with young people of this generation, and the biggest feeling for her is that she is sincere and enthusiastic.
Cheng Cheng listened to her words, also took a breath, and began to chat with her.
"Now that martial arts TV is on fire, those books are really in short supply."
The school library is not so trendy and open, and there are few books other than professional knowledge, so college students naturally borrow books from bookstores.
"yes!"
Qi Yueran remembered that her parents liked martial arts, and she often watched TV with them at home when she was a child.
The memories of the two lives began to overlap and gradually became vivid.
"Why, you see it too?"
Qi Yueran shook her head embarrassedly, in her previous life, she only read some romance novels, and occasionally read famous novels, but she really didn't read much martial arts.
"It's okay! But it's really pretty, if you're interested, we'll have a new batch of books here in two days, and you're welcome to come to me. โ
"Alright!"
"Which one do you want?"
Qi Yueran swept the table of contents of the stack of books again, and her eyes stayed on the book "Home Appliance Maintenance at a Glance".
Reached for it and flipped through it at will.
Electric fans, flashlights, black-and-white televisions, lights......
There are basic cases, and there are certain principles to explain.
The most rare thing is that there are not only explanations of standard hand-drawn circuit diagrams, but also photo displays.
In the 90s, a repair book could be illustrated and illustrated, which was indeed rare.
Everything is good, but the price is not satisfactory.
The book looks very new, it is estimated that no one has borrowed it, and it is a large and thick one, and the price on the back is written 15 yuan.
Qi Yueran couldn't help but show an embarrassed expression.
Cheng Cheng has seen so many guests, and naturally he is also half a person, so he immediately understood the meaning on her face.
"Are you going to buy or borrow? It's actually not recommended to buy it.,This book should be read twice and it's going to be done.,It's still pretty cheap to rent.,Books at this price.,Plus it's quite unpopular.,I can count you two cents a week.ใ โ
Qi Yueran calculated, 0.2 yuan/week is indeed a very good price.
Cheng Cheng saw that she really wanted to borrow it, anyway, the book was idle in the warehouse, so he didn't deliberately embarrass her to raise the price, but sincerely gave her advice.
Maybe that's why Sunshine Bookstore has such a good reputation.
"But ......"
"What?"
Qi Yueran thought that he was going to repent, his brows tightened, and he hurriedly asked.
"You're a little girl setting up a stall...... It's still maintenance, it's probably not very good to make money! โ
"Why do you say that?"
"We're a university town, and the quality is okay, but there are still some ...... Evil. โ
Saying the last two words, Cheng Cheng deliberately lowered his voice.
Qi Yueran really hadn't thought about this.
When she first arrived, she really didn't know what the social situation was like.
"Where are you going to set up a stall?" He asked.
"Let's go to Yongfeng Hardware Store first."
"Oh!" Cheng Cheng's face showed surprise and a little joy, "You are Qi Yueran?" โ
"No, how do you know me?"
At this time, it was Qi Yueran's turn to be surprised, wondering if he had committed something recently.
Or is there something she doesn't know about the original owner, and all the memories haven't been passed on......
And this began to be "notorious"?
"You have spread on our side," Cheng Cheng said with a smile, "Sister Zhao just got used to seeing the high price and undelicious price of the Yuanyuan restaurant on West Street, so she said that Aunt Yonghong's family has a new girl, and her craftsmanship is good...... Didn't expect you to be able to cook and repair electrical appliances? โ
Don't underestimate the spread of horror gossip from neighbors' after-dinner chatter.
In less than two hours, the street seemed to know everything.
Qi Yueran breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't a bad reputation.
"No, I'll try it first."
After all, she doesn't know if she can do a good job in maintenance, and whether she can earn the first pot of gold.
"Okay, since you set up a stall in front of and behind Aunt Hong's shop, I don't think anyone will trouble you, but I still have to say, don't go to the north of North Street after nine o'clock in the evening, there are video game halls, ice rinks and karaoke...... Hey, that's a lot of that, you should know that, too! โ
Coincidentally, she really didn't know!
Thank you Cheng Cheng for your kind reminder.
She happily paid the money, rented the book, and made friends with the bookstore owner.
And repair tools for this kind of thing.
But don't forget, her current landlord is the proprietress of Yongfeng Hardware Store.
The best hardware tools on the street are in her shop.
After a while, when Aunt Hong is free, she can also ask if there are any goods that need to be handled, and she can sell them at a discount.
