Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 136 Daily Life in Hutong 70 (34)
Since there were no children to take care of at the moment, Xie Ci'an and Shen Yao simply treated the school as their home and learned from each other.
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, who left Beijing and came to Guangzhou, also saw different scenery along the way.
They first took a long-distance train. Although the carriage was small and extremely hot inside, they encountered thieves who stole their wallets, someone misidentified their children, and a beautiful girl who pulled them and cried for help... Wow, it turned out that the things their mother said were all true.
The children were so frightened that their mouths could not close, and they looked even more energetic.
The adults, however, were all extremely frightened. Tian Na and Yuan Li even kept Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan by their side, taking them wherever they went.
Fortunately, they arrived in Guangshi smoothly. They first found a guesthouse to stay in, then had a breakfast with Guangshi characteristics, and then split into two groups to go around.
Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan prefers uncommon electronic products rather than fashionable clothes and fabrics.
So they chose to go to a famous local electronics mall with Xie Shangjin, Shen Zizai, Yuan Li, Shen Ning and Shitou.
Tian Na and Grandma Zhou took the rest of the people to see the clothing factory and fabrics they had liked earlier.
"Let's meet at the entrance of the nearby shopping mall at noon.
Remember, if you don’t know how to buy something, don’t ask. If you are asked anything, just say you don’t know. ”
When Tian Na saw that Yuan Li was the only woman among the group of men (Yuan Yuan was too young to count), she turned around and spoke to the other party.
Yuan Li nodded, "Don't worry, I know what's going on and I'll make sure they don't spend money recklessly."
Not long after the reform and opening up, many people took advantage of the opportunity and rushed to the south to make a fortune.
The things here are not only cheap and of good quality, but also fashionable and novel.
It is said that these styles all came from the other side of the river, and it makes one look very proud when showing them off.
Grandma Zhou advised Yuan Li not to be too strict, "If you really like it, buy one for each person, don't buy more than one.
There are many hidden dangers here, and our main purpose of this trip is to visit and learn.”
It's so hard to go out without any documents. Grandma Zhou, who has been stuck in Beijing for so many years, should really enjoy herself.
A few older people were talking to each other, while the others just stood there quietly.
Passersby only glanced at it for a few seconds and then looked away.
How should I put it? People like this are seen every day in the local area, nothing new.
"Come on, let's go take a look."
Although Guangzhou seems to be more lively than Beijing, there are crowds of people everywhere.
Yuan Li held Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan's hands and let Shen Zizai walk in front to lead the way. They headed straight for the small electronics mall in the distance.
The electronic mall has a lot more people than outside, and the three-story building in front of us is particularly noisy.
When everyone entered the room, the younger ones were the first to be attracted by a row of beautiful frog-eye glasses placed at the door.
Fortunately, this mirror is quite cheap, only a little over one dollar each.
After being admitted to university, Stone and Wood, who already had a small piggy bank, were the first to spend money.
Shen Ning followed closely behind, while Shen Zizai and Xie Shangjin were ready to make a move.
As for Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan, who was held by Yuan Li's hand, they had already started a conversation with the middle-aged man selling frog-eye glasses, and even got the man to tell them how much they could walk every day.
Yuan Li: …
"Nah, this place is really profitable. We can sell hundreds of them a day, not counting the occasional large wholesale."
After deducting daily expenses from this income, the remaining profit can account for more than half.
"You two are still children, don't talk nonsense."
Yuan Li was shocked to hear that selling small commodities was so profitable.
No wonder more and more people have dared to set up stalls outside in Beijing over the past six months.
Although currently most of them are vegetables and fruits from farmers, in the long run, once the door is opened, the popular goods in Guangzhou will flood into Beijing.
Compared with Guangzhou, Beijing is still a bit remote in terms of geographical location.
The simplest thing is that the clothes and pants that are popular on the streets of Guangzhou are rarely seen in Beijing.
Before coming here, Yuan Li thought that the electronics city was a place that sold all kinds of large furniture and appliances.
As a result, when people were there in person, they realized that everything was sold there, but there were more electronic products.
Like electronic watches, electronic radios, cassette players that can play tapes, and small plastic speakers that make speaking louder... At this moment, Yuan Li was like Granny Liu who had just entered the Grand View Garden, and found everything new and interesting.
Xie Shangjin and others are not much behind Yuan Li. Among them, the calmest are Shen Zizai and Tuan Tuan Yuanyuan, who travel all over the country all year round.
Shen Zizai has some knowledge but not much, and he can keep his mind steady.
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan learned a lot from books. Although they didn't put it into practice, they had sufficient theoretical knowledge and could talk about it very well.
"Grandma, I want to buy that."
Tuantuan pointed at a square box with a few palm-sized cassettes next to it.
Yuanyuan's eyes lit up, she wanted it too.
Yuan Li walked over and asked the price, but was scared back away when she was told the price was 350.
So expensive? !
"Sister, this price is really not expensive. You can go to the overseas Chinese store or department store to ask, they are more expensive than this."
The seller was a young man who looked short but had lively eyes.
You can tell at a glance that this thing is what the two kids like. They are promoting this thing in their words and deeds. It is convenient for listening to tapes and the recording is clear. It is a genuine brand product manufactured abroad.
"Then why are you selling it here?" Yuanyuan seized the loophole in the other party's words.
Tuantuan stepped forward and said, "This is a fake. The label is not on the right place."
All the letters on it are printed upside down. There is no way it can be genuine.
Salesperson: ...
Yuan Li was also surprised and held her two grandchildren's hands tightly.
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan didn't notice that the atmosphere was wrong. They were still analyzing the situation seriously and finally bargained down to a very favorable price from the other party's price of 350.
145
This was said by Shen Yao. The price of an item was cut in half and then continued to be discounted by about 20%. (This is how the author's mother buys things)
The price can fluctuate within this range, because you cannot let the other party make no profit at all, otherwise the deal will not be concluded at all.
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were good at mental arithmetic, so they finally lowered the price from 350 to 140. It was because they really liked the tape recorder that they added 5 yuan more.
Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan looked at the boss smugly, thinking that he would definitely sell it to them.
Unexpectedly, in some situations, exposing someone's shortcomings is not a good excuse for bargaining.
"Grandma, why is the boss angry? We are right."
Tuantuan was puzzled, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were driven away by the angry boss, and the business naturally came to an end.
"Maybe it's because the truth is too harsh," Yuanyuan puffed up her cheeks, "Dad said that sometimes we can't tell the truth."
Tuan Tuan, the little adult, sighed, "Adults are really troublesome, but we can't tell lies."
Yuanyuan agreed, "Yeah, adults are so hard to understand."
The brother and sister were discussing with each other, and Yuan Li, who was standing in the middle leading them, couldn't close her mouth. Who could tell her why things had developed to this point?
嘶
Aren’t they out here just to take a stroll and see the world?
Is there something wrong with my understanding? !
Yuan Li was confused as she watched Tuantuan and Yuanyuan bargaining. Some things could be bought, but some deals could not be done. However, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan did not have any too big obsessions. Perhaps they valued the process more.
However, "It's about time. We should go back and gather together."
Yuan Li did not forget the time she had agreed with Tian Na, Grandma Zhou and others.
We can't be late, especially since there are so many people here. There will be no benefit if we miss it.
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan each held some small items in their arms, which they had bought in the electronics mall.
"Grandma, let's go back."
It was a good opportunity to call Xie Shangjin and others on the way. With Shen Zizai watching over them, they didn't spend much money. Only Shi Tou and Mu Tou bought two toad-eye glasses for their own good.
"Hey, that big sister, big sister, big sister"
Yuan Li turned her head and saw a short young man waving at her.
Ok?
Tuantuan recognized that the other person was the young boss who had just been angry.
"What's up with you, man?"
Yuan Li spoke in a muffled voice and felt that the other party looked a little familiar. In addition, Shen Zizai and others were around, so she was not afraid of causing trouble.
The man grinned, rubbed his palms, and all his words were about Tuantuan and Yuanyuan.
Yuanyuan asked, "You want to sell us a tape recorder?"
Tuan Tuan does not charge, "145, no price increase."
Young Boss: ...
"Uh, no, I was thinking that we could do other business."
What is 145? He had spent more than that on raw materials to buy these tape recorders. If he sold them at this price, he would lose a lot of money.
The young man's name is Bai Wuchang, which sounds like it's free, but he is completely different from his name, he would charge for a glass of water even if it's for free.
The reason why he was willing to give up his own interests and Yuan Li this time, or to be more precise, to do business with Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, was because he saw that these two children were young and ignorant, and had sharp eyes and could find problems.
After telling Yuan Li about his ideas, Bai Wuchang invited a few people into the shop to discuss in detail.
Even though his store here is only a dozen square meters in size, it took him most of his savings over the years to buy it successfully.
Bai Wuchang is eyeing the future development of the electronics city. Even if he only takes a few orders a day, the money from the sales will be enough to cover his daily expenses and have some left over.
"Sister, there are a few brothers who can consider this matter.
It's just a matter of a few forms and instructions, it won't take long.
I gave you a flat price of 200, which is quite a lot.”
Bai Wuchang had good eyesight and could tell that Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were with Yuan Li, so he simply offered them a huge profit. With the current income of most people, it was inevitable that they would agree.
"no"
Bai Wuchang: ...You did it on purpose, right?
"Sister, this is really not cheap. If you go out and ask around, you can find a university teacher for less than 200 yuan."
Bai Wuchang felt wronged. It was the first time he thought about cheating the other party out of money, but he didn't expect the other party would not buy it at all.
Yuan Li asked back, "Then why didn't you look for those university teachers but instead looked for my two children? You did it on purpose."
They are not trying to trick them into thinking they can make money, but are actually doing something behind their backs and they will end up losing money.
In preparation for this trip to Guangzhou, Yuan Li made a lot of efforts to prevent fraud in private.
Yuan Li didn't believe this person at all when he said he wanted to give money to do business.
Bai Wuchang: ...
Bai Wuchang himself had to admit that he did find the two children on purpose, but he didn't mean to cheat them. He just wanted to save some more money.
It is indeed not expensive to hire a university teacher, but university teachers are difficult to deal with.
By then, if he asks all kinds of questions and talks about this and that, will he still be able to do business?
With a sigh, Bai Wuchang chose to confess, and finally asked whether this business could be done.
"Okay, but the price is too low. You have to give us a tape recorder for free."
Tuan Tuan touched his chin. His chubby face looked easy to knead.
Yuanyuan pointed at the one they liked from the beginning and said, "We want this one."
Bai Wuchang: ...
Bai Wuchang forced a smile and said, "Okay, as long as you change the sign and instructions."
Forget it, as long as this batch of goods can be sold smoothly, he won’t lose much.
"…This, little friend, are you right?"
Bai Wuchang touched his chin, turned his head and looked at his own branded tape recorder, feeling hesitant.
Tuantuan was speechless, Yuanyuan was helpless, and a sentence rang in their little heads at the same time: this brother is a little stupid.
"This brand is originally made in Japan, but I suggest you change it to a Hong Kong brand, or a German brand is also fine."
Tuan Tuan pointed out the problem directly, "Besides, the core of your tape recorder is made in Germany, and it would be even weirder to stick a few Japanese symbols on it."
Yuanyuan advised Bai Wuchang not to struggle in vain, "Whether from the perspective of selling goods or the tape recorder itself, the label you put up doesn't make sense."
The two of them are children of a serious machinery factory, and their father is an expert in this field.
A tape recorder? If there are parts, take it apart. They can put it together themselves.
Bai Wuchang: ...
As the saying goes, don't trust people when you employ them, and don't use people when you are suspicious.
Bai Wuchang originally wanted to spend money to get a bargain. It doesn't make sense for him to spend money without trusting it. That would be a waste.
Finally, the three of them talked for a few words and then gathered together to discuss.
Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan helped Bai to put together the new sign and instructions for free, and only then did they accept the 200 yuan thank-you gift and the tape recorder and leave.
Oh, in order to make this deal, the original meeting time of Yuan Li, Tian Na and others had to be postponed.
Fortunately, the ending was perfect. Although it was two hours late, Tian Na and her friends were not idle and visited all the places they should visit. Although Yuan Li did not visit any of the places she wanted to visit, she made money.
Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan was generous enough to treat everyone to a late lunch.
After dinner, they went back to the guesthouse to rest. After listening to Yuan Li talk about Tuantuan and Yuanyuan's ability to make money on their own, Tian Na and Grandma Zhou began to praise them for doing a good job.
"Is there any risk in doing this? Selling fake goods is deliberately deceiving people."
Tian Na was afraid that Tuantuan and Yuanyuan didn’t understand, so she quickly explained some of the principles.
Tuan Tuan waved her hands and said, "No, grandma, the tape recorder is real," but it was not obtained through a legitimate channel and was modified second-hand by some craftsmen.
But there is no problem with the core material of the tape recorder, at most the outer shell has been replaced with a cheap one.
"The instructions we gave him were very clear, and considering the price, it was very suitable."
Yuanyuan nodded, "That's right, Dad said that as long as the money and the goods are equal, it's not considered a scam."
Bai Wuchang's original price was definitely not appropriate. After a proper price reduction and matching their new brand and description, it can be said to be good value for money.
