Rebirth 2000: I Sold Lunchboxes and Earned 999 Apartments

He Wenlin, daughter of a migrant worker, is reborn to the year 2000!

At this time, she hasn't dropped out of school, her father hasn't been cheated, and the family isn't in debt!<...

Chapter 119 He really knows how to calculate.

In this way, it's as if the shirt factory is endorsing He Wenlin's store.

Workers no longer need to worry about being scammed.

Wu Yuelin admired He Wenlin's courage and intelligence.

She laughed and said, "You're now poaching people from me, and you still want me to make money for you."

"Mr. Wu, this is a win-win situation for us. I make money, and your employees benefit."

Peng Liang originally hadn't planned to work for me, but now that this has happened, even though he's innocent, he feels embarrassed to continue working for you, so he resigned.

For Wu Yuelin, Peng Liang wasn't a particularly outstanding employee, so she wouldn't care if he left; she could just hire someone else.

That was just a joke.

However, she really liked He Wenlin's words about win-win cooperation.

For He Wenlin, her age is a major disadvantage, which makes people question her, but at the same time, it is also her advantage, which makes others admire her, so she always succeeds.

Therefore, youth is a double-edged sword.

“Since it’s business, then I have to ask, will you be delivering here for holidays and festivals? How much does a box weigh?” Wu Yuelin asked.

"Each box should weigh no less than 1300 grams. If the cooperation goes well, the business can remain stable, and you won't have to cooperate with my competitors. I can deliver not only during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but also during the Spring Festival and Dragon Boat Festival. Your factory's employees have also tried my egg rolls and praised them highly."

I can bring you a box tomorrow so you can try some. The egg rolls are hollow, and a box weighs 1300 grams, which is actually quite large. It won't look bad as employee benefits. If we were to sell them, they would cost five yuan per jin (500 grams), so a box would be worth more than ten yuan.

It's like Wu Yuelin and He Wenlin are working together; over a holiday, she can save about 600 yuan.

Of course, He Wenlin's costs shouldn't be that high, otherwise it wouldn't be worthwhile for her.

"Fifty boxes are too few. We have 150 employees in our factory now."

Wu Yuelin felt that He Wenlin was too good at business at such a young age. She had 150 employees, but He Wenlin only gave her 50 boxes, which meant that she would have to buy 100 more boxes from her!

They really know how to calculate.

“Mr. Wu, a box of egg rolls costs thirteen yuan. If I give them to all your employees, I’ll lose money.” He Wenlin laughed. “You can give the egg rolls to your employees as prizes during the annual party at the factory. Of course, I also hope that you will order another hundred boxes or even more from me during the holidays. As for the price, I can give you the lowest price.”

"Bring a box of samples over tomorrow."

“No problem, I’ll bring it over myself first thing tomorrow morning!” He Wenlin stood up and habitually extended her hand. “Then I won’t bother you any longer. Thank you, Mr. Wu, for giving me this opportunity.”

Wu Yuelin was surprised by He Wenlin's habit of shaking hands, and felt that He Wenlin was not like a child at all.

As He Wenlin came out of the shirt factory, she saw that lunch had already been served outside. Peng Liang was standing next to the tricycle, holding a boxed lunch and talking to several men.

"How long will it take you to finish here?" Peng Wenlin asked Peng Liang in her hometown dialect.

With his mouth full of rice, Peng Liang mumbled, "We can leave now."

"Then come over after you finish eating." After saying that, He Wenlin rode her bike back.

As soon as He Wenlin left, Chen Weihua asked Peng Liang, "Liangzi, are you really going to quit your job?"

"Yes, let's work at Xiangmeizi Fast Food Restaurant!"

"How much does he pay you a month?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"Four hundred including meals and accommodation."

"What?" Zhang Qiang and Chen Weihua were taken aback.

Chen Weihua said directly, "You're doing this for such a low salary? Are you alright?"

Zhang Qiang: "You make nine hundred or a thousand a month here, and you go over there and only make four hundred a month! Are you out of your mind?"

“He has four days off a month, and the working hours aren’t that long each day. If he works overtime, he gets paid, and he gets an extra month’s salary at the end of the year. She wants me to sell dumplings, and I get a commission on the sales,” Peng Liang said. “If that doesn’t work out, I’ll go back to the factory.”

"How much commission can you earn? I think you could learn the ropes and start your own fast food business later," Chen Weihua suggested.

“This isn’t something you can learn just by watching,” Peng Liang said. “It’s hard to do well without a lot of practice. And if you can think of this, others certainly can too. There’s no way you’ll be given the chance to learn by stealing.”

"Now that you're working over there, will it be cheaper for us to order food from you in the future?" Zhang Qiang asked with a smile.

“Want to buy vouchers cheaply? These are actually a real bargain,” Peng Liang said. “We’re all on the same side, I wouldn’t lie to you. I’m just helping her sell them. The price is set by her, I really don’t make any profit.”

Don't worry, I trust you.

...

He Wenlin returned to the store, and the peak hours had passed.

Everyone was getting ready to eat.

"You're back so late today," said Mrs. He. "Hurry up and eat."

"I just went to deliver goods and chatted with the owner of the shirt factory for a while."

"Talk to her about Li Bing swindling money?" By this time, Aunt He already knew what had happened at the store that morning.

“Now that this has happened, I’m worried that people will be afraid to buy vouchers in the future, so I went to see the shirt factory owner today to talk to her about cooperation.”

Mr. He asked, "You want him to help us sell them?"

"We just need him to issue a statement so that his employees can buy vouchers from their respective group leaders. It's like he's endorsing us. We'll just have Peng Liang coordinate with the group leaders then," He Wenlin said. "If Boss Wu agrees, we'll send fifty boxes of egg rolls to his factory as employee benefits for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Fifty boxes!"

Upon hearing this number, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

"This is too much," He Wenjun said. "Linlin, how much does one box weigh?"

"No less than 1300 grams, which is about 2.6 jin (1 kg) and the market price is about 650 yuan."

Upon hearing the number, Mrs. He felt a pang of heartache: "How much can you make selling vouchers? You're giving away so many, don't lose money! Have you even done the math?"

“The selling price of 650 doesn’t mean the cost is 650,” He Wenlin said. “Besides, their factory currently has 150 employees. If we gave them 50 boxes, do they still want to buy 100 more?”

After He Wenlin said that, everyone realized what was going on.

"That's why we say, Linlin, you're the boss and we're just employees. Your mind works so fast, hehe." He Wenjun grinned.

Mr. He: "Has the other party confirmed their interest? Has the deal been finalized?"

"It's about 80% likely to work."

During her conversation with Wu Yuelin today, He Wenlin felt that the chances of success were very high.

“I need to prepare a box of samples to take to her tomorrow,” He Wenlin said. “Uncle Ruan, thank you for continuing to do this today.”

"Okay, okay, okay," Ruan Jianxin readily agreed.

In fact, the Ruan family wanted He Wenlin's business to do well more than anyone else.
