Rebirth 90: I changed my fate by winning the lottery

Knowing that Zhou Jing wanted to divorce, Ding Mo was slightly surprised by the Zhou family's two elders' decisive attitude.

The daughter divorced in middle age and still had the child to take care of. Most of the older generation would have persuaded them to reconcile, but these two were very determined and let their daughter divorce and directly took over their granddaughter.

Ding Mo now envies Zhou Lang very much, because he has open-minded and wise parents and a decisive sister.

"But Sister Jing, where will you live in the future?" Ding Mo asked.

In fact, according to seniority, she should call Zhou Jing "Auntie", but Zhou Jing was only in her 30s after all, and calling her "Auntie" would make her sound old. She called Zhou Lang "Brother Zhou", so she couldn't bring herself to call Zhou Jing "Auntie".

Zhou Jing was happy: "Such a little girl still cares about me? Don't worry about me, I have to live in our current house, I have to stay there, and I have to go to the factory to watch during the day. I thought of sending my daughter here because I really can't take care of her. But don't worry, it's only this summer vacation, she has to go back to school after the summer vacation."

"Ah, just one summer vacation?" Ding Mo quite liked Xiao Qiqi. The little girl was quirky but well-educated.

Grandma Zhou took off her sleeves and pulled her trouser legs. There was mud all over them. I don’t know how she got it there just by watering. “We’re still worried that it will affect your studies. Why are you still so sad?”

Ding Mo was confused. Was she a dead otaku in the eyes of the Zhou family? A study machine without emotions?

Is it because I didn’t water the tomatoes?

----------

When Han Shuqi was sent to her grandparents' house, Ding Mo went to English cram school.

During the holidays, the several small classes at the No. 1 Middle School in the city were not open, so she could only attend the large-scale cram schools.

Ding Mo sighed for a long time as she looked at the big sign of the cram school, "Xin Moufang". If she remembered correctly, this institution was already a well-known company listed on the New York Stock Exchange before her death. But now it only exists in a remote small building, using a dilapidated warehouse as a classroom.

I opened "New Concept English" again. This thing is considered a new thing in this era. Ding Mo came to learn this because he had almost forgotten everything he had learned, so he came to consolidate his knowledge.

When she rode her pink bicycle back to Zhou's house, Han Shuqi had been nagging her at home all morning.

Children all like to have a playmate, especially someone like Ding Mo who is emotionally stable and does not act like an elder and does not put on airs.

In the past summer vacations, little Kiki had to work in the factory with her parents. Although she came from a wealthy family, she was also wild and was very familiar with the machines and warehouses in the factory.

She was a little reluctant to come to her grandparents' house at first, and now her favorite uncle was not at home. It would be boring to play chess with her grandpa all day.

But this year is different. With sister Momo around, Xiao Qiqi is full of anticipation for the summer vacation.

Unfortunately, as soon as I entered my grandparents' house, I was warned that Sister Momo had to study and I couldn't disturb her.

Little Qiqi pouted and waited bitterly until Ding Mo came back before she rushed over and hugged Ding Mo's waist and looked up at her: "Sister Momo, will Qiqi disturb your studies?"

"How could that be? I'm not a nerd and I can study all day long. Of course I won't be disturbed!"

Change the stereotype in the Zhou family’s minds, starting with the little girl in front of you!

Well, seeing Ding Mo say this, Grandma Zhou hoped that Ding Mo would not regret it after this girl went crazy.

Facts have proved that little Qiqi is indeed wild. She is a well-educated child, so she never causes trouble or screams with her mouth open. The only manifestation of her wildness is her energy.

Other children would take a nap after playing, but not Xiao Qiqi! After helping Ding Mo clean up the vegetable garden in the backyard, she followed Ding Mo to the farmer's market to buy vegetables, bought lottery tickets and two newspapers, and still let Ding Mo teach her how to ride a bike.

And before she wants Ding Mo to accompany her to do something, she will blink at you with her big eyes. At that moment, she is so cute that even if she wants the stars in the sky, Ding Mo will probably pick them, not to mention those other things.

After taking care of the child for an entire afternoon, Ding Mo is now so tired that she just wants to take a nap. Taking care of a child is not only physically tiring, but the mental fatigue is also obvious.

Because she was also worried that she might have said or done something wrong and hurt the child's heart unconsciously. What to say and what to answer, Ding Mo had to think over and over for a long time before she would tell Qiqi, so she was exhausted.

Ding Mo had already gone back to her room to sleep under the protection of Grandma Zhou, but little Qiqi was still full of energy and followed Grandpa Zhou to the river to fish, and returned with a full load after dinner.

Xiao Qiqi's bucket was full of small shrimps that she had caught, and Ding Mo was amazed at the sight.

The river water became clearer every year, and the flow was much slower, but she was still able to catch so many small shrimps.

Little Qiqi had just come to her grandparents' house and stayed for an afternoon. She was like a city kid returning to the countryside, with mud all over her body and hands.

But she was still a child after all, and after playing for a whole day, she went to bed early.

Ding Mo had taken a short nap in the afternoon and was not sleepy now. He took out a set of college entrance examination mock test papers he had just bought and started to practice.

Ding Mo, who has not yet entered his third year of high school, has already moved forward courageously towards the goal of the college entrance examination.

----------

The next day, it was probably just dawn, so little Kiki, who went to bed early, naturally woke up early.

She walked barefoot on the ground, clacking on the ground, and ran quickly towards Ding Mo's room.

Ding Mo never locked the door, because Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou would not open the door and enter her room casually, and she didn't want to lock the door again as if to protect herself from others.

Xiao Qiqi jumped directly onto Ding Mo's bed and quickly got into Ding Mo's quilt.

"Hehehe." He let out a silly laugh while drilling.

Ding Mo, who was half asleep, stretched out his hand and took the little girl into his arms.

Little Qiqi was not afraid of strangers and didn't bother to be polite with Ding Mo. She just leaned her little head on Ding Mo's arm, and the two of them started chatting casually.

But the two of them couldn't remember what they said specifically, because Ding Mo just hugged the little girl and they fell asleep again.

When the two of them woke up, it was exactly 9 o'clock.

There was no make-up class today and she didn't want to go to the library. Ding Mo thought it would be a good idea to go to the clothing store, firstly to see how the business was and secondly to see how Liu Yun was doing.

But she definitely couldn't go alone because she was pestered by that little girl.

Ding Mo took Grandma Zhou and Xiao Qiqi to stroll around the city center for a while, and they finally arrived at the store when they were all a little tired.

The bustle of the early days of the store's opening has faded, and now the clothing store is no longer crowded with customers.

Ding Mo saw from afar that Liu Yun was chatting happily with a young man in the store.

The salesperson in the store was replaced. The previous Xiao Li was still there, but Xiao Wang was replaced by this young guy. When there were not many customers, the three salespeople including Liu Yun seemed a bit too many.

But Li Shan was busy on the computer, and Ding Zhiqin went home to take care of the children. The fat kid also needed someone to take care of him during the summer vacation, so that was all.

When Ding Mo walked in, Liu Yun just glanced at her and went back to chatting with the young man.

Li Shan's face was filled with worry, and he was hesitant. Although the business in the store was still OK, compared with the prosperity when the store first opened, the current customer flow really made him feel quite disappointed.

Seeing this, Ding Mo comforted him softly, "Uncle, don't worry too much. Now that the supply is stable, the customer flow will naturally stabilize slowly. It's impossible for it to be as popular as it was at the beginning."

Li Shan sighed helplessly. He understood this truth, but he still found it hard to let it go.

"But I think there is still great potential in the e-commerce platform!" Li Shan said, excitedly turning the bulky computer screen to Ding Mo, "Look, these manufacturers who are looking for opportunities on the Internet, their products are really good. I called them before, and the price is much cheaper than what we get from the wholesale market! And I have confirmed that those wholesalers also get their products from them."

Ding Mo nodded and said, "Yes, this is the advantage of not having a middleman to make a profit from the price difference."

"They will send samples soon, but our sales volume is not very large at the moment. If we can increase it a little bit, the price can be even more favorable." Li Shan's eyes flashed with excitement.

Ding Mo looked at their 60-square-meter store and said, "The sales volume of our store is indeed limited. However, if the same clothes can be taken to the factory for mass production, the price should be more advantageous, right?"

Li Shan said affirmatively: "Of course, if we produce on a large scale, the cost will definitely be much lower than buying from them."

K City has certain advantages in labor costs, which makes Li Shan full of expectations for the future. Ding Mo had always been worried that this place was relatively backward and the factory's equipment could not keep up with developed areas, but now it seems that these concerns are unnecessary.

"So, why don't we produce some clothes ourselves and sell them online? We can make some simple styles, maybe they will be very popular." Ding Mo suggested.

Li Shan thought for a moment and said, "Well, this is a good idea. I will discuss it with the factory."

Seeing that Li Shan had an idea, Ding Mo said no more and just left a sentence: "If you need money, just tell me!" After that, he left like a local rich man.

Li Shan then plunged into the vast world of the 1688 platform. He sat in front of the computer early every day, staring at the screen, not missing any possible business opportunities. Sometimes he frowned in thought, and sometimes he talked to himself excitedly, as if he was digging for a treasure.

After several days of careful selection, he finally found a stylish and simple casual wear. The style of this clothing is novel and unique, which makes people shine; the quality is even better, and the fabric feels comfortable; and the price is extremely affordable, which is simply the king of cost performance. Li Shan was ecstatic, and he immediately felt that this clothing was the hit he had been looking for.

He couldn't wait to get in touch with the supplier, his voice full of excitement: "Hello, is this Boss Zhang? I'm very interested in your casual wear. Can you introduce it to me in detail?"

When communicating with suppliers, he asked in detail about the product details, materials, sizes and other information, for fear of missing any important links.

After some fierce bargaining, Li Shan successfully won the goods at a very satisfactory price with his wisdom and experience.

On the day the goods arrived, Li Shan was as excited as a child. He personally participated in the display and exhibition work, and placed this casual wear in the most conspicuous position in the store. He carefully matched some fashionable accessories to make this clothing more eye-catching. He also posted a large poster at the door of the store, using eye-catching fonts to promote the advantages and characteristics of this clothing, attracting the attention of many passers-by.

Soon, this casual wear swept the market like a whirlwind. Customers walked into the store and were attracted by the unique charm of this clothing. They tried on the clothes, smiled with satisfaction, and praised them endlessly: "This clothing is really beautiful, the quality is also very good, and the price is so affordable, it's great!"

Through this successful attempt, Li Shan earned enough money. He looked at the increasing numbers in his account and felt a sense of accomplishment. He deeply realized the huge potential of the e-commerce platform and decided to continue to increase investment in this area.

He began to try to cooperate with more high-quality suppliers and continuously expand his product line.
