Getting rich in chronology

When Chen Meili bowed her head before, Chen Yu's eyes flickered because of her hairpin.

Chen Meili is well nourished and her hair is well-groomed. Her black hair is thick and dense, and the little hairpin is buried in her hair, almost invisible.

If it weren't for the sparkle of the broken diamonds on it, Chen Yu wouldn't have noticed.

Now Chen Meili is eager for Chen Yu to talk to her. When she heard that he wanted to see her issue the card, even though she felt strange that a boy like him was watching this, he still didn't ask anything, and directly took the card off and gave it to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu took it and took a look. It was a plastic hairpin that was two knuckles long and short in the shape of butterfly wings. The wings were glued with artificial diamonds for decoration.

From the perspective of his later generations, this hairpin can be called simple, the plastic material is not good, it looks inferior, and the color is dull.The workmanship is not good, the glue has leaked out, and there are filaments drawn from the glue between the gaps of the broken diamonds, and the broken diamonds are not flashy enough.

But even if he feels bad again, at this moment, such a card issuance is probably worth a lot.

"How much is your card?" Chen Yu asked curiously.

Chen Meili said: "My cousin gave it to me. She didn't ask for money, but she said that she asked someone to bring it back from the south. Here, it costs more than ten yuan."

Chen Yu took a deep breath, all his net worth is only a dozen yuan, so he can only buy such a card?

"Then... do you think this card is expensive?" Chen Yu asked again.

Chen Meili didn't know what kind of answer he wanted to hear, she hesitated, and finally said: "It's a bit expensive, and you can buy a lot of eggs. But my cousin also has one, and the other sisters in their unit want to buy it after seeing it." Yes, I still want to buy this one in my hand, but they offered more than a dozen yuan. My cousin didn’t agree, so she gave it to me.”

Chen Yu: "...do you have a good relationship with your cousin?"

This sounds like selling well in front of Chen Meili. Of course, if someone gives something, it should be sold well.

But when he collected wrong information during his market research, he might lose everything.

"Okay, very good." Chen Meili said a lot about her cousin, Chen Yu listened, and it seemed that she was sincere to Chen Meili.

Moreover, cousin Chen Meili's family conditions are also good, probably because she really thinks that this card is worth more than ten yuan.

Chen Yu returned the card to Chen Meili, and the bits and pieces of information strung together in his mind, and he gradually had an idea.

Not long after, the lunch break ended, and the students who had finished lunch returned to the classroom one after another. Chen Yu seized the opportunity to look at the hair of the female students in the class with his chin propped up.

There are nineteen girls in their class, eight of whom have short hair and eleven have long hair.

Seven of the short-haired hairpins used hairpins, a kind of black and slender hairpins. When Chen Yu was a child, he saw his mother buying them in rows and rows. Later, the more they bought, the more fancy they became, and this kind of hairpins gradually disappeared.

Eleven girls with long hair, Yun Baiya and her deskmate Chen Meili, and another girl who is not familiar with her hair. Chen Meili has already seen the rhinestone plastic hairpin.

Yun Baiya was wearing a headband, made of iron with a white coating, and the shape was ordinary, but Chen Yupa pulled Yun Baiya's dress from memory, and this headband seemed to be her favorite.

Another girl with draped hair also used the same kind of black hairpin.

Most of the remaining eight girls were braided, but some had a single braid, and some had two braids hanging down their shoulders.

You must use hair ropes to tie your braids. Only two female students use rubber ropes of the original color brown and yellow.

Chen Yu remembered all this information in her heart, turned her head and asked the tablemate: "Have you ever bought that kind of rubber band? How much is it?"

"Is it this kind?" Chen Meili picked in her schoolbag and took out a handful: "It's very cheap. You can buy two more than this for ten cents. I used up two of them."

Chen Yu counted, and there were twenty of them, that is to say, you can buy 22 of these rubber bands for a dime, which is really cheap.

"What about the colorful one?" Chen Yu asked again.

"I didn't buy that kind." Chen Meili explained, "They wound it up by themselves. They just used colored wool and crossed two rubber bands from the middle to wrap them together."

She also wanted to wrap it by herself, but unfortunately she was clumsy, the wrapping was not tight, and it was easy to loosen. When she used it, her hair would be tangled, so she didn't need it, and just wore her head.

"Don't you like to tie your hair?" Chen Yu also wanted to ask a few more female classmates, but right now, only one female student at the same table can talk.

"I like it. It's troublesome to let loose hair, it's inconvenient to eat, and the wind blows all over the face, which is very annoying."

When Chen Meili talked about this topic, she was full of complaints: "Especially in summer, when it's so hot, I want to tie it up too. The rubber band doesn't work at all, and my hair keeps twisting. I want to cut it short, but my dad won't let it. .”

"But my cousin said, next time someone will bring me a hairpin, just like Yun Baiya, it's so pretty."

Chen Yu: "... If there is a good-looking scrunchie for sale, would you be willing to buy it?"

"Of course I would. Where can I buy it? How much?" Chen Meili hurriedly asked.

Chen Yu asked curiously, "How much are you willing to pay?"

Chen Meili thought about it for a while: "It depends on what it looks like. If it looks half as good as my card, it will be five yuan."

Chen Yu: "..."

OK, got it, this business can be done.

That's right, Chen Yu is going to make hair rings and headbands for sale.

Judging from the sample of his class just now, the market for hair ties is quite large, as long as girls with long hair, most of them will be willing to buy a good-looking hair ties.Compared with clothes and skirts, how much money can a hair tie cost, and you can buy it as soon as you let go.

Thanks to Chen Yu's previous life working everywhere, he worked in that kind of small jewelry factory, he knows how to make hair rings!I have also seen many beautiful headbands, headbands, headbands and hair ropes.

Chen Yu is short of start-up funds, coincidentally, this thing requires less capital.

Basic materials, rubber bands, 22 for a dime.

Broken cloth, this is the introduction of Chen Yu's idea.

As I said before, Xiao Jianshe was looking at the warehouse of the garment factory, and sometimes he could come back with a little bit of rags, which were put together into his schoolbag, with different colors and strange shapes.He still picked a large schoolbag, and the biggest one was not as big as a palm.

Garment factories have to dispose of such rags every day. Xiao Jianshe didn't even bother to move them home. It was really useless.

There is a shortage of supplies at the moment, and the slightly larger cloth heads that can be patched are not considered scraps, and it is not Xiao Jianshe's turn to take advantage of them.

The ones he can bring back are either extremely narrow, with wide fingers, and are not long enough to be used as trouser belts.Either it is crooked, square or round, or one corner is missing there, so it is useless.

But these fabrics are just right for making headbands!

The first question now is where the scraps come from.

It is definitely not possible to find Xiao Jianshe, Xiao Jianshe will not listen to him, and he wants so many rags, Xiao Jianshe must investigate what he wants.

Except for Mrs. Xiao and Liang Fengxia, even if the Xiao family knew about the dozen or so dollars in his hand, they would be the same as Xiao Jiahui in disdain for him.

But if he gets the raw materials through Xiao Jianshe, and then makes money, it’s hard to tell. Small money is okay, a little more, maybe he will become the best worker, and at most he will be charged a manual fee return.

Chen Yu was still hoping to pay a fortune so he could move out, seeing that winter was getting closer, he didn't want to sleep on a wooden plank in mid-air, and covered him with a cold, moldy and torn quilt.

Therefore, it is best to find another channel to get those rags. Xiao Jianshe said before that that kind of rags only sell for one yuan per sack, so no one wants them.

It was so shattered that I couldn't do anything except tie a mop as a mop when I took it back.

For a mop, the towels and rags you wear at home are better than these expensive rags.

And no matter how broken it is, it is still a new cloth. If you use a new cloth to tie a mop, the elderly in the family will scold you as a prodigal.

Chen Yu is willing to buy it with money, but now the question is, who will he buy it through.

Xiao Jianshe and Liang Fengxia both work in a garment factory. No matter who he looks for, he will probably recognize him. It is difficult to hide them.

Maybe he can go to another garment factory?There are still a few garment factories in this city, but not on this scale.

Thinking about it again, there is another problem, even if he buys the fabric back, there is no place to put it.

In addition, it is best to have a sewing machine, otherwise he can only sew by hand, and those hair ties are so small, it will take some time to sew.

It was a good idea, after careful consideration, it was all problems, and Chen Yu's head started to hurt.

But he can't give up on it. This is the method he can think of, the lowest cost, the highest implementability, and the easiest way to make enough money at once.

In the following afternoon, apart from the class time, Chen Yu forced his attention to focus on the teacher, and spent the rest of the get out of class thinking about his small business, and finally got some clues.

He really had no choice but to go to other garment factories to see if he could buy rags, but those factories were far away, and if he went, the travel expenses would be considered an expense.

In addition, if it is impossible to stack raw materials and goods, you can only rent a house.

Renting a house is very cheap now, and you can rent a house that you can live in for two or three yuan. He only wants to pile up fabrics and store goods, so he can find the one with the worst conditions, which should be even cheaper.

When he inquired about the rent before, he also considered moving out directly. In the end, he thought about it, he was underage, and his household registration could not go out independently, and at that time he only had a little over six yuan. He rented the house, the family's bedding, food, Ask for money everywhere.

It's better to find a way to earn some money first, it just so happens that his birthday is not too far away, Xiao Jiahui's birthday is five days away, and he happens to be a full month younger than Xiao Jiahui.

For more than a month, if he can successfully earn some money from the hair circle business, it doesn't need to be too much, a few dozen yuan is enough, and he can move out after his birthday and separate his own account.

After doing this calculation, the money in his hand was tight. Fortunately, he asked for 12 yuan from Yunbaiya, otherwise, what could he do with six yuan and fifty cents.

With an idea in mind, Chen Yu was not in a hurry, and his expression became calm and calm.

Chen Meili, who had been secretly paying attention to him, endured it until after school. Seeing that Chen Yu was about to leave, she hurriedly stopped him: "How can you sell the beautiful hair band you mentioned at the beginning?"

Chen Yu: "...we have to wait, we won't sell it now."

"Oh, if it's sold, you can tell me, or bring me one, and I'll give you the money, and I won't renege on it." Chen Meili said, "My dad is stronger than Yun Baiya's dad, and he loves her even more. Me, I have money to buy."

Chen Yu paused: "Your dad is better than her dad? Her dad is the director of a garment factory."

Chen Meili curled her lips: "Deputy factory director, my dad is the factory director."
