Those years when I raised bosses

Chapter 5 05 Examination Business Opportunities

"Father, why didn't Lulu understand what you and the two older sisters said?" On the way home, He Xiaolu's little face was wrinkled, ashamed of his ignorance.

"Those two foreigners are short-term exchange students of C University. One is German and the other is British. They will return to China in a few days. Before leaving, they want to bring some Chinese special handicrafts. Occasionally, I see other students who bought them for me to make. I thought the bracelets were unique and novel and the price was cheap, so I asked me to order a batch. I explained to them that the material of the things is not worth the money, and they said they were interested in the weaving technique and creativity, and they thought it was valuable and were willing to buy it. The two The bracelets I wanted were different in size and color. Fortunately, my father could understand what they said, so he agreed.

This can be regarded as a big business. They want 50 bracelets in total, because they are specially ordered. Dad charges 3000 yuan each, totaling [-] yuan.Tomorrow night, we will pay the money and deliver the goods, so we don't have to go out of the stall. "Tong Tong likes this kind of clean and large order the most. The retail sellers in the province have to grind their mouths with people. There are many mosquitoes standing by the river at night. If there is another scramble, it will be even more embarrassing.

Seeing that the large sum of money is easy to get, she is in a particularly good mood. Tong Tong patiently explained to her baby. During the process, He Xiaolu would also ask, such as what country and what is a handicraft. She answered them one by one, and finally smiled and enlightened: " Dad spoke a foreign language to them, does Lulu want to learn it?"

He Xiaolu's brain is like a dry sponge, desperately absorbing the new knowledge that his father said. His parents have never talked so much before, and he has expanded his vision from the backward urban village to the campus of C University, and then to the higher level. In the international field, waiting to hear the last sentence, my eyes would not help but nodded, and I hurriedly nodded: "Can Dad teach Lu Lu? Lu Lu also wants to talk to foreigners."

"Of course, but it's already very late today, go home and go to bed first. When you get up tomorrow morning, Dad will teach you." Tong Tong wanted to be lazy after a day of exhaustion, so he went back to wash up and sleep, and said something about going to bed early and getting up early , High learning efficiency in the morning.There is one set of principles, and he was taken aback by what He Xiaolu said, nodding frequently.

In He Xiaolu's eyes, Dad is the best and knows everything, and everything Dad says makes sense.Children accept things very quickly. Even if they have never seen their father speak a foreign language before, they just think that they can't remember clearly at that time.Seeing is believing now, which further deepens the impression that Dad Gao Dawei'an is omnipotent.

He Xiaolu still fell asleep on the way home, but Tong Tong lay tossing and turning, thinking about why Xiaolu should start making a scientific and reasonable study plan.Compare it to the way I learned to read at the age of three and went to school at the age of five.It's a pity that I don't have the same conditions as my family back then, and I can't afford relevant teaching materials and books at all.So back to the proposition of how to make easy money.

Tong Tong knows that weaving bracelets and setting up street stalls is to sell something new. Smart people can learn it by standing on the sidelines and watching it a few times. The materials are even cheaper, and they can be sold in the wholesale market.Maybe all kinds of similar bracelets will be sold all over the street next week, and it is possible to lower the price in order to grab business.You can't sell this stuff for long.

The only way to make money is to have a unique trick, always walk ahead of others, and do business that others can't think of.

Tong Tong thought that in a few days before the graduates of C University left school, they must not miss the sale. Collecting some valuable second-hand goods, hoarding them by category and reselling them after school starts, can also make a fortune.But these are still hard money after all.

The appearance of two foreign students today made Tong Tong realize that his foreign language advantages should not be wasted. There are actually several translation agencies near C University, so why not take the time to try your luck and see if you can receive a written translation job that you can do at home.In this way, there will be enough time to watch the baby at home and make money as a part-time translator.

But translation is also a hard work that consumes brains and time. Seeing that the price per thousand words is quite high, but repeated revisions are calculated based on hourly income, which may not be more cost-effective than going to a fast-food restaurant to serve dishes.Moreover, a person like He Liantian who came out of nowhere without a formal education may not be willing to use him if he finds a translation job by himself.

Tong Tong can only list this way of making money first, and take the time to try it out, and it cannot be regarded as the main channel.In case there is a translation agency that is willing to use him regardless of one pattern, it's just a matter of consideration.Currently short of money, no matter how hard you work, as long as the income is relatively appropriate, you can't let it go.

After receiving the 3000 yuan from the two foreign students tomorrow, Tong Tong will first implement an idea to make quick money with this as capital.

2002 is the last year of the college entrance examination in July.In the imperial capital's college entrance examination, all reference students were dispersed according to their application card numbers to arrange the examination room.The imperial capital has no borders, the students live in different places, the examination room is likely to be far away, one subject in the morning and one in the afternoon, there is no time to go back and forth to eat and rest at noon, time is money.Even if the home is not far away, it is troublesome to go back and forth in summer to cook and eat at home.

This gave birth to an industry. Hotels and hotels near the college entrance examination center will offer hourly rooms for lunch breaks during the college entrance examination period. The surrounding restaurants are very busy at noon, and it is often difficult to find a seat or even a meal.

All these things were mentioned by Tong Tong from a classmate in the same dormitory in Imperial City. Then one year, she deliberately went out for a walk during the college entrance examination. The situation of the test center near C University fully verified that what the classmate said was true.

Back then, that classmate crossed almost half of the imperial capital city, taking the exam from north to south. Because he didn't prepare in advance, he thought that he could just find a hotel to stay and eat at noon, and at most he would spend a little more money.As a result, the money could not be spent at all, the hotels were full, and the restaurants even sold out of rice.That classmate didn't even finish a bite of hot rice at noon, so he laid newspapers in the shopping mall and lay down to enjoy the coolness until the afternoon exam.The next day, the students gained experience, and their parents asked for leave and waited at the entrance of the examination room with an insulated lunch box.However, the food in the insulated lunch box naturally tastes much worse than the freshly made ones in restaurants.That classmate always said that if he hadn’t been admitted to C University back then, he would have come out to push carts and sell boxed lunches every year during the college entrance examination, earning a fortune enough to rest for half a year and do nothing.

However, the imperial capital has always been strictly controlled. Unlicensed small businesses and hawkers still sell food, so how could it be possible to cause chaos?If you want to make this money steadily, you need to spend a little bit of careful thinking and a little skill.

The college entrance examination in July is in the scorching heat. The students pay attention to nutrition and have a complete lunch with fruits and vegetables to cool off the heat.It is impossible for an ordinary hotel to change the menu or the cook just for this two-day exam. Hotels just open, sleep, and rarely take care of food.These are all contradictions, but also opportunities that can be exploited.

Tong Tong did not fall asleep until he had perfected the plan in his mind.

In the morning, I took He Xiaolu to get up and wash up, and taught him 26 English letters with the cheap pen and paper I bought yesterday.Because He Xiaolu knows all the numbers within one hundred, so he doesn't need to take the basic math class.Originally, Tong Tong just wrote out the 26 letters in order first, and taught a few every day, but He Xiaolu learned it very quickly.

Before going out, He Xiaolu had already memorized everything from A to Z clearly, and his pronunciation was very accurate.This is faster than what Tong Tong learned back then, but who knows how long this child can remember.Most people's memory before the age of three is vague. Some children can recite a lot of ancient poems before kindergarten, but they can't remember anything after school.

Therefore, everything must be done step by step, learn some new knowledge every day, and then review the knowledge points you have already mastered, and you will consolidate it over and over again, so that you can really learn the essence.The foundation is solid and reliable, and the future entry can be more profound.

Last night, I set up a stall on the second day, and the business was better than the first day, earning more than 600 yuan.With money in his pocket and a straight back, Tong Tong took the baby to the most upscale Liji restaurant in the village in the city, and ordered a sumptuous breakfast.

Unlike most fly restaurants in urban villages, Liji Restaurant has been passed down for three generations, and it has also applied for a business license since the founding of the People's Republic of China.Although the decoration is old and still in the style of the early 90s, the bright photo frame at the entrance is inlaid with the stamped certificate issued by the state, which is very stylish.

He Liantian and Chen Ying obtained a marriage certificate, invited his co-workers and neighbors to dinner, and it was at this Liji that he already felt very honored.Of course, this is the most expensive restaurant in the village in the city. Although it sells breakfast, it is not as popular as the cheap mobile stalls outside.

Tong Tong brought He Xiaolu in for dinner, and the boss and cashier Li Daniu personally entertained him with extra enthusiasm.

In He Liantian's memory, this restaurant is located in a village in the city, and its positioning is too high-end. The business for breakfast and lunch is especially deserted, and the dinner is barely okay.Originally, the signboard of the restaurant could be seen along the city street outside, but a few years ago, it was blocked by another privately built and added building.It is not easy for passers-by to find this store, and it is impossible for regular customers in urban villages to come to spend every day, and the income is getting worse and worse.Fortunately, the level of the cook is not bad, and the quality of the dishes is up to standard. Now it is all supported by repeat customers and occasional weddings and funerals of the village residents.

Tong Tong's table is the one having breakfast today, and he is still a regular customer. After all, He Liantian's good looks are rare in urban villages. The single man also brings a cute little doll, which makes Li Daniu, who has always wanted to hug his grandson, unavoidable. Just come forward and chat a few more words.What's more, the breakfast that Tong Tong ordered today was extraordinarily rich. In addition to millet porridge, fried dough sticks and eggs, he also ordered beef in sauce, elbow flowers, cold vegetables and hot milk.

Tong Tong also had a purpose in coming here to eat.Seeing that the store was really deserted, the boss Li Daniu had nothing to say, so he opened his mouth to talk about the topic after a lot of thought: "Uncle Li, do you pack and deliver lunch here?"

"Of course, we have a special packing box and a plastic bag with the phone address printed on it, which is regular. Free delivery within two miles around, and a large quantity discount." Li Daniu showed off, but then frowned and said, "It's a pity that there is no big deal in the near future. Order, I haven't delivered food for a long time. Do you still want to run errands part-time to deliver food? Then you can only find another place."

"The best takeaway in your family is the ten yuan kind of one meat and two vegetables, right?" Seeing Li Daniu nodding, Tong Tong said seriously, "Uncle Li, I'm not looking for a delivery job this time, but I want to talk to you. A thousand boxes of takeaway business."

"A thousand boxes of the most high-end takeaways? It's a big business for a small 1 yuan. Could it be that you need so many takeaways for entertainment on your construction site?" Li Daniu guessed based on his previous knowledge of He Liantian.

Tong Tong does not dare to boast about going to Haikou at the moment, and he does not want to disclose business opportunities in a few words. He only confesses to order tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest, and buy at least 7 boxes a day on the 8th and 400th.

Of course, Li Daniu couldn't let go of such a large business. Originally, the restaurant didn't have much business in the morning and noon. If he could take over a hundred boxes of takeaway, the net income would be quite attractive after deducting the cost of labor.Especially for this kind of takeaway, you can just fry it in a big pot, save fire and materials, and don’t use dishes and take up space in the restaurant. It’s much simpler than serving red and white noodles.

Without Tong Tong's elaboration, Li Daniu had already agreed with his chest: "That's it for now. My house is a formal and licensed restaurant, and the quality of the food is guaranteed. Although it is more expensive than those mobile vendors, you get what you pay for. What you want We will definitely manage enough of these amounts, so you don’t have to go to other places to inquire.”

On the contrary, Tong Tong was a little embarrassed, after all, he planned to buy boxed lunches in bulk from Li Daniu, and sell them to candidates at double the price during the two days of the college entrance examination.Li Daniu's business can make a net profit of two to three thousand, but Tong Tong's side is thinking that if everything goes well and there is added value on the boxed lunch, it will be worthwhile to earn at least eight thousand.

After breakfast was finished smoothly, and waiting to leave Liji Restaurant, He Xiaolu asked curiously, "Why did Dad buy so many boxes of lunch?"

"Buy low and sell high, and earn a difference." Tong Tong answered concisely, and explained the new terms that appeared here with He Xiaolu in detail.

He Xiaolu couldn't help worrying: "Dad, 10 yuan a box lunch is already very expensive. We buy and sell more expensive ones to make money, but will anyone buy it if it's too expensive?"

"You don't have to worry about this, Dad has his own way. Let's go, first go to the spot with Dad." Full of confidence, Tong Tong took He Xiaolu's little hand out of the village in the city, and went straight to the place where several nearby college entrance examination centers gathered.
