Getting rich in chronology

"307...Is this it?" A familiar middle-aged female voice suddenly sounded outside the door. Before Jin Shan had time to think about it, a family of three with large and small bags appeared at the door of the dormitory.

The aunt who was walking in the front cast a glance, and immediately said happily: "Binbin, your dormitory is so clean."

Seeing the gentle and handsome man with glasses carrying a suitcase, Jin Shan didn't come up in one breath, choking on the popsicle water that had just melted in his mouth, and made a earth-shattering coughing sound.

Ma Chengcai hurried over to pat him on the back, wondering why someone would choke on a popsicle, isn't it water?

"It's you?"

Jin Shan made too much noise, the family of three who just arrived also noticed him.

The gentle boy squinted his eyes under the lens, and his tone of voice was unclear: "Are you a freshman?"

His mother immediately reacted to Chen Yu just now, and subconsciously looked at the half-book of "Cheats for Freshmen" that they were given.

Because they bought it together with someone else, they just found a shady place below, read through the entire booklet roughly, and then shared half with each other, leaving each other's dormitory numbers and making an appointment to exchange them later.

What kind of luck is he!

Jin Shan was distraught: "What's wrong with the new students, can't the new students sell cheats? I'm not lying, the above contents are all true, I collected them so hard, why can't I sell them for money?"

Relying on the convenience of his family living in the capital, he came to the school before the reporting time. It took him more than a week to find out, and he even invited the seniors to eat popsicles and watermelon, so he sorted out this small book. book.

Travel expenses, food expenses, the cost of feeding the seniors and the cost of printing these pamphlets, the sum of the bills and pockets is more than 30 yuan, and most of his savings have been invested.

I originally planned that if the business was good today, I would quickly print some and sell them tomorrow, which would last for several days.

The results of it?Today, as soon as I tested the water, I suffered from Waterloo.

Including Chen Yu's two copies, a total of twelve copies were sold, totaling ten yuan and eighty cents, and the principal was not even recovered.

All because of the glasses!

Kill him...

There are dozens of brochures in his hoard, so how can he sell them at a high price if he does this.

Maybe because his expression was too sad and indignant, the gentle boy pushed his glasses and said nothing.

On the contrary, it was his mother, who was taken aback and comforted, "Young man, don't worry, we Binbin didn't mean that. We read it just now, and your cheat book is very useful."

Jin Shan was comforted, threw away the popsicle stick, and smacked her lips: "That's right, Auntie, let me just say, these are all the information I inquired, and they are absolutely reliable and useful."

While talking, he tilted his eyes at "Binbin" classmate, look, your mother agrees with me, and you are still picking on me, please find trouble.

They were all roommates from now on, worried that they would have conflicts when they first arrived, and there would be no peace in the dormitory in the future, so Chen Yu went up to smooth things over, and made a self-introduction to change the topic.

"Hi, my name is Chen Yu, and I'm also in this dormitory. From now on, we'll all be roommates."

Ma Chengcai didn't know what happened between Jin Shan and this new classmate, but he was also afraid that his roommates would not get along well, so he hurriedly followed Shen Yu and said, "My name is Ma Chengcai."

Jin Shan curled her lips, but said nothing, Shen Yu poked him behind him, Jin Shan snorted: "My name is Jin Shan, the Shan of the Shan tree."

He didn't even bother to make a joke, he was doing it to save face for Chen Yu, otherwise he would ignore him.

The boy with glasses didn't change his face no matter who he heard the introduction from, he was always calm.

After everyone finished talking, he said unhurriedly: "Hello, my name is Ying Bin."

Ying Bin's mother actively helped her son to add: "It's the polite Bin, not a soldier but a soldier. Huh? It's very similar to Shanshan. Binbin, you two are so destined."

Jin Shan's expression twisted for a while, Shen Yu turned her head and pressed her face on Shen Qiao's shoulder, trying to hide her smile.

Ying Bin seemed to be used to it, and was unmoved by being called "Bin Bin" one after another, without changing the expression on his face.

Jin Shan is not so good. After Ying Bin's mother called "Shan Shan" affectionately, he couldn't help but say: "Auntie, you should call me Jin Shan, Shan Shan sounds like a little girl." !"

"Does it look like it?" Ying Bin's mother pondered for a while, and felt that she really looked alike.

She comforted Jin Shan: "It's okay, you don't look like a little girl."

Jin Shan twitched the corner of her mouth stiffly, thank you?

Unexpectedly, Ying Bin's mother's next words would be: "Your name is Chen Yu, isn't it? Oh, your child looks really good, even more handsome than a little girl!"

Chen Yu: "..."

How did it come to me.

However, he has long been accustomed to others' compliments on his appearance, so he politely thanked Ying Bin's mother, which made Ying Bin's mother even happier.

I heard that Ma Chengcai tidied up the dormitory, and he pulled Ma Chengcai to praise him, not forgetting that Jin Shan, who had the best relationship with her family Binbin, pulled Chen Yu and the others to talk non-stop.

That is to say, Shen Qiao's temperament is too cold, Ying Bin's mother said a few words, and found that Shen Qiao's reaction was very flat, she lowered her voice and complained to Shen Yu: "Your brother is really like our Binbin, they are both like ice cubes."

Chen Yu couldn't help laughing, but it's actually a little different.

Ying Bin's family seems to let Ying Bin's mother finish talking all by herself, and Ying Bin's father and Ying Bin don't talk much.

Ying Bin's mother was talking to his roommate, and Ying Bin and his father silently went to make the bed.

There is nothing wrong with Chen Yu, and Shen Qiao received a text message saying that something happened and he had to leave first.

"Leave the car to you?"

"No need." Chen Yu quickly refused: "It's only two steps, you drive back."

"Then I'll go first and call if I have something to do."

Sending Shen Qiao away, Jin Shan asked, "Did your brother get a BB camera?"

The phone rang, Shen Qiao just took it out and looked at it, he was sitting next to Shen Yu, the others couldn't see it very clearly, only vaguely saw him take out a rectangular thing.

Now that communication is underdeveloped, a mobile phone costs tens of thousands, and there is no price in the market. BB phones, that is, pagers, have become the first choice of many people.

Compared with the high price of the big brother, the pager is much cheaper. You can buy it for more than 1000 yuan. Adding the fees for network access and number selection, it only costs more than 2000 yuan.

But this cheapness is also relative. More than 2000 yuan is the annual income of many ordinary families.

Ying Bin's mother was also very curious. Their family's conditions were not bad. She and Ying Bin's father both worked in state units and received wages. There were only two children, Ying Bin and his sister, and the family lived well.

But even so, if they want to install a communication tool, they will choose the phone, not the BB machine.

Only Ma Chengcai didn't know what a BB machine was, so he was confused.

Chen Yu smiled, didn't say yes or no, said it was a lie, said it wasn't how to explain the existence of the mobile phone.

Jin Shan didn't ask any further questions, and automatically understood his smile as a default.

He couldn't help sighing in his heart, Chen Yu was really the young master of a wealthy family, seeing the luxury car his brother drove, with a BB camera in his pocket, it was too rich.

The few people didn't continue to dwell on this topic, after all they were not familiar with the BB machine, including Chen Yu, who had never used it.

They were chatting, Ying Bin chose a top berth, because Chen Yu had already taken the top berth on the left, so he randomly picked a top berth on the right.

It can be seen that Ying Bin is also capable of work, his movements are clean and neat, the bed is made very flat, the pillows and blankets are all folded and arranged neatly, and he feels a bit obsessive-compulsive.

Chen Yu felt that during the military training, Ying Bin's internal affairs would definitely get high marks.

Ying Bin tidied up the bed at about the same speed as Chen Yu. Chen Yu hung mosquito nets and bed curtains more, and he spent more time smoothing the wrinkles on the sheets and arranging pillows and blankets.

The remaining clothes, shoes and other things can be tidied up slowly.

Ying Bin's mother saw her son come down from the upper bunk and had already started to pack other things. She stopped talking, got up and called Ying Bin's father: "Old Ying, let's go buy some water bottles?"

The condition of Ying Bin's family should not be bad. Judging by the clothes and bedding that the family brought out, they should be regarded as a well-off family at this time.

So he didn't bring anything like washbasin towels, he had to buy them now.

Ying Bin's father responded, and Ying Bin's mother asked Chen Yu: "Your mosquito net is really good, where did you buy it?"

Chen Yu explained the address of the store in detail, and Ying Bin's mother heard that it was not very far from the school, so she wrote down the address and planned to buy one for Ying Bin later.

"What are you hanging on the outside?" Ying Bin's mother asked again: "What's the use of this?"

Chen Yu blinked, and said solemnly: "It's a blackout curtain. We sleep on the upper bunk too close to the light, it's dazzling. And if you want to use the flashlight to read, it won't affect other students."

"It makes sense, this bed curtain is really good." Ying Bin's mother agreed endlessly.

Even Ma Chengcai nodded frequently, thinking that this thing is easy to use.

But looking at such a large piece of cloth, it must not be cheap, so he refrained from opening his mouth.

"Binbin, if you don't want to, mom will buy one for you too."

Ying Bin stared at Chen Yu's bed for a while, especially the pile of fabrics hanging beside the bed with half of the bed curtain lifted, frowning and making a difficult decision: "I want it..."

Ying Bin's mother asked Chen Yu where to buy the bed curtains, and it was not bought. Chen Yu found a tailor and made it according to the size of the school's canopy bed. Chen Meili also ordered one.

If you can’t buy ready-made ones, there’s nothing you can do. Ying Bin’s mother said, “Forget it, you can decide for yourself.”

Ying Bin agreed without hesitation, and he suddenly remembered that he would definitely be able to pick one without patterns by himself. Chen Yu's bed curtain didn't have any flowers, but it had a few simple patterns on it.

Ying Bin's parents went downstairs to buy the sundries that Ying Bin lacked, and Ying Bin continued to pack things.

As soon as the two left, Jin Shan immediately moved to Chen Yu's side: "Can you give me the address of your mosquito net and bed curtain?"

Chen Yu was startled, and then realized what he meant.

"You want to add it to the freshman handbook?"

"New student's manual? There is no domineering cheat book." Jin Shan tilted his focus and nodded: "Yes, can it be used?"

"Okay, you can use it as you like." Chen Yu said generously.

Jin Shan scratched her head embarrassingly: "Otherwise, I'll refund you the money you paid for the cheat book."

Chen Yu is so generous, telling him the information for free, and even treats him to eat popsicles, he sells his freshman cheats at a high price, a bit guilty.

"No need." Chen Yu smiled: "The freshman handbook you made is quite useful."

"That's right." Jin Shan chuckled twice, and gave Ying Bin a sideways look: "It's not like some people who don't know what to do."

Ying Bin was not angry, and his tone was still unhurried: "The information in it is indeed useful, but the price is too expensive. If I'm not wrong, the cost of a freshman handbook should be two or three cents, and the most reasonable cost is fifty cents or less. selling price."

Jin Shan's face was flushed, Ying Bin guessed right, the cost of printing and binding alone was indeed so much.

It's not that he has limited capital and wants to make more money. If he can't print or sell it later, the first batch of money has already been obtained.

"But now fifty cents can't be sold." Jin Shan lowered her head and said depressedly.

There are still three people who bought it together. Even if he sells it for [-] cents, everyone will still choose to buy it together.

There are only so many freshmen, the average selling price is lowered, and the total sales volume is even less. How much less money does he make?

Moreover, the market price has been disturbed, and it will definitely not be easy to sell later, or it will be overstocked.

"Also, I'm a cheat book for new students." Why did Ying Bin follow Chen Yu and say, didn't he choose a good name?

Ying Bin said honestly, "The freshman handbook sounds more formal and reliable."

Jin Shan: "..."

He was so unconvinced that he asked others to comment. Shen Qiao didn't need to ask, he would definitely stand in Shen Yu's place. He asked Ma Chengcai: "Brother Wencai, what do you think? Is my freshman cheat book more domineering than the freshman handbook."

"what?"

Ma Chengcai was not in the mood, so he answered the wrong question: "This, this freshman handbook sells for [-] cents? Then I, I will give it back to you..."

Jin Shan: "..."

He waved his hand: "I said I'll send you off, brother in a dormitory, don't be too polite, you heard it just now, the cost price is not that expensive, just get me two pots of boiling water later."

A pot of boiled water in the school costs a penny, which is not expensive, that's what Jinshan said, and it's an excuse.

He moved the box of pamphlets to the table, borrowed a pen from Ma Chengcai, and started writing.

Chen Yu took a look and was writing information about mosquito nets and bed curtains. These are things that can be used for four years, especially mosquito nets, which are indispensable every summer.

I missed this before, and it is not convenient to reprint it. Fortunately, there are not many words, so I can just add it by handwriting.

"Are these still for sale?" Chen Yu asked.

"What if I don't sell it, no matter how much money I have, I have to sell it, and I haven't earned back my capital yet." Jin Shan said sullenly.

Ying Bin pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.

"Let me write it for you." Ma Chengcai just received a beginner's manual worth [-] cents from Jinshan, feeling very sorry, and wanted to do something for him.

"That's good." Jin Shan quickly divided the stack for him, pointing him on which page to write on and what to write.

He had a plan and made a catalog.

"I'll come too, do you still have a pen?" Chen Yu asked.

Ma Chengcai shook his head: "No more, can a pencil do it?"

He only has a fountain pen and a ballpoint pen.

Ying Bin suddenly said: "I have."

He gave Chen Yu a pen, and took one for himself, sat down at the table, glanced at the page written by Jin Shan, and began to write silently.

Jin Shan glanced at him and said nothing.

The four of them worked hard to write together, and when they were shared, everyone's workload was much less, and they were all written quickly.

While helping Jin Shan put the brochures in the box, Chen Yu thought about it: "Actually, you don't have to sell this freshman brochure."

"What do you mean?" Jin Shan didn't understand: "What if I don't sell it, and I can't turn it into money if I leave it alone. I still lose more than 20 yuan."

Ma Chengcai gasped, so much money!

"You can rent it out!"

Chen Yu was thinking about this question just now. In fact, the validity of the information in the freshman handbook is limited. After the freshmen have passed the adaptation period, this pamphlet will be useless.

So Jinshan sells for [-] cents a book, and many people think it is expensive-it is indeed not cheap, if it costs [-] cents.

But that’s not how it works. The value of information can vary. Jinshan has the brains and the ability to collect information, so he deserves the money.

But many people don't realize the value of information, they just think it's useless if I read it, and it's so expensive.

That being the case, I feel that buying is not worthwhile, and renting is always okay.

"Rent?" Jin Shan's eyes lit up, and Ying Bin was also thoughtful.

Chen Yu nodded: "Yes, such a booklet can be read in an hour at most. You can rent it by the hour, and the hourly rent is cheaper. If you set a few cents, there must be someone renting it, right?"

It's only past ten o'clock, so I'm going to work hard until night, and there are still eight hours left.

The rent for a book is calculated at five cents, and it can earn [-] cents. Although it is not as good as selling it, the brochure is still Jinshan's, and he can continue to rent it out tomorrow, reducing the cost of reprinting.

And it's not something you can write down after reading it. If you forget the information later, you might have to come back and rent it again.

These words don't need to be said by Chen Yu, smart people can understand, even Ma Chengcai, if he can get into Beijing University, he won't be stupid.

There is no need for draft paper, and you will know whether it is a good deal to rent or sell it in a flash.

Jin Shan slapped the table vigorously: "Brother, you are so awesome, this idea is awesome!"

There is no need to continue selling cheat books, the chaotic market price has nothing to do with him, just re-set the price of the rental book, set the price lower, and sell more with small profits.

And there is no need to consider the issue of re-printing and stocking, the remaining half of the box can continue to make money for him.

Ying Bin frowned and said, "If it's for rent, a few more people will watch over it."

There are more than 70 freshman handbooks, all of which are rented out. Timing and charging are all problems. What if someone takes them away?

It's simple.

Chen Yu said: "You can collect a deposit, deposit fifty cents, if you take it away, take it away, and return the deposit if you come to cancel the rent."

Jin Shan looked at Chen Yu, the light in his eyes was dim, no wonder his family is rich, look at this brain, it is different from ordinary people.

Ma Chengcai whispered: "What if you don't want to hold down money?"

For example, if you ask him to bet fifty cents, he will definitely not agree, what if he doesn't refund.

"Then deposit something." This time it was Ying Bin who spoke: "Let them deposit the admission letter."

This is something that every freshman has, and it has been reported, and there is no such thing as taking their admission letter to replace the admission.

Chen Yu glanced at Ying Bin in surprise, it's really cruel, there is personal information on the admission notice, for freshmen, it is no different from a student ID card.

He believed that if it wasn't for the new student ID card, he would let everyone deposit the student ID card...

The four of them actively discussed the specific implementation process, such as calculating time.

Among them, only Chen Yu has a watch, and a watch costs more than 100. Even if Ying Bin's family conditions are good, watches are a luxury for many people, let alone students.

Ying Bin has an alarm clock, which is small and convenient to carry.

There are enough tools for calculating time. Jin Shan numbered each booklet, borrowed an empty workbook from Ma Chengcai, and left half a page blank for each number. Then calculate how long the loan will be based on the number.

Ma Chengcai suggested that the time can be shortened. For example, if he is a fast reader, he can finish this booklet in 10 to [-] minutes. An hour is too much time.

People not only read it quickly, but also remember it firmly. After reading it once, they can remember five or six points of the content. Although it is a short-term memory, this is remarkable.

So they discussed the pricing again. This time, Jinshan did not dare to set a high price casually. The minimum rent is 10 cents for 10 minutes, and [-] cent for every additional [-] minutes. The rent is [-] cents for an hour.

Exceeding the time and less than 10 minutes shall be counted as 10 minutes.

Jin Shan went to the next door to get a piece of broken cardboard, wrote the price on it, and wrote on the top, renting out the "New Student Handbook", which was considered a signboard.

In the end, he chose the name that Chen Yu casually mentioned. Although he felt that it was not as domineering as the freshman cheats, but for such a smart and rich person, if he used him to get a name, he might get rich.

"Let's go, I'm going to set up a stall at the door, are you together?" Jin Shan said with a smile: "Xiao Binbin, lend me your alarm clock."

I'm sorry to borrow the Chenyu watch, it's too expensive, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay for it if it's broken.

After working together and helping him discuss the business of renting out the freshman handbook, the four of them got along much more harmoniously, and Jin Shan no longer held any quarrel with Ying Bin.

"Don't call me that." Ying Bin frowned in disgust.

"What's that called? Old Ying? Xiao Ying? Brother Binbin?" Jin Shan started talking nonsense as soon as she was in a good mood.

Ying Bin dissatisfied: "How do you know I'm younger than you?"

"Then let's compare?" Jin Shan was not to be outdone.

"Come on, are you still in business?" Chen Yu interrupted their childish conversation. When they first met, Ying Bin was so indifferent and handsome. After getting along for a short time, Jin Shan's style of painting became distorted.

"Do it! Do it, whoever says I won't do it, I will go now."

Chen Yu said: "I'll go with you and help you register for a while, but maybe I won't stay there all the time."

"I'm so grateful to be able to come brother!" Jin Shan pretended to cup his hands.

Ma Chengcai said naively, "I can help too."

"Okay, good brother."

Ying Bin didn't say a word, went directly to find out his alarm clock, and stood beside Shen Yu without moving, with a very clear attitude.

Before going out, Chen Yu thought of something and paused: "Jin Shan, don't you want to choose a bed? If there are two roommates left in a while, you won't be able to choose."

Jin Shan was taken aback, yes, I forgot about this.

He was still hesitant to sleep on the top bunk or the bottom bunk, there was only one top bunk left, and it looked very popular, but he was really afraid of falling off.

But sleeping on the lower bunk and being smashed, is that okay?People are gone.

Chen Yu didn't expect that he would utter nonsense, which really frightened him. It is not uncommon for the top bunk to collapse, but the probability is too small.

Ying Bin came late and didn't know what he was struggling with. After Ma Chengcai finished speaking, he was speechless: "You can calculate the probability of being smashed and the probability of falling out of bed, and you will know which one to choose."

Jin Shan made a choice instantly: "I choose the lower berth."

The top bunk might not necessarily collapse, but he felt that it would definitely fall off when he slept on it.

He didn't want to sleep with the closet on his back, so he chose the right side at first. I don't know if the roommate later is strong or not, but Ma Chengcai is quite strong.

So Jin Shan chose the lower berth below Ying Bin, and asked Ma Chengcai to put his luggage there, as it would occupy the seat.
