Unscrupulous businessmen!!!
Shao Yishan cursed inwardly, "It's too expensive. Give me a discount, and I'll introduce you to other customers."
The swindler looked at him, then took the book back from his hand and turned to leave.
"No, no, no! I'll buy it!"
Shao Yishan stopped the heartless swindler, and with a heavy heart, took out ten loose coins from his pocket and reluctantly gave them to him.
The swindler took the two booklets without hesitation and handed them to him.
"You printed so many, how dare you sell them for such a high price?"
The swindler packed the money away and said, "Do you know why so many people buy study materials, but so few actually pass the exam?"
Shao Yishan was taken aback.
He looked up at the swindler.
The young man covered his face completely and pulled his hat down low, saying, "Some people buy the materials but don't necessarily study them seriously, but they will definitely buy them."
After saying that, he left.
I brought quite a few booklets; I need to sell them all quickly.
Shao Yishan held the booklet in his hand, thinking to himself that he absolutely could not waste these ten dollars!
Zhou Mingli sold about ten copies at the school gate, and then went to a nearby bookstore.
There are even more people gathered there.
Compared to when he was at school, Zhou Mingli became much more cautious about selling brochures near the bookstore.
They only approach people who genuinely want to buy the booklet but can't find it.
Zhou Mingli would sell ten books and then move to a different location, his main selling point being his flexibility and unpredictability, making it difficult for people to find him.
In just one morning, Zhou Mingli sold out all fifty booklets.
Five yuan per book, fifty books would cost two hundred and fifty yuan.
Zhou Mingli rode his bicycle and soon returned home.
When he got home, it was already lunchtime. He sniffed and smelled the aroma of food.
Zhou Mingli put down his bicycle and went inside, where he saw that Jiang Ci had already prepared the meal.
A smile crept across his face as he walked over. "Why didn't you wait for me to come back?"
"You'll be starving by the time you get back." Jiang Ci gestured for him to bring the food to the table and said, "I just heated up some cornbread and stir-fried one dish. I asked Zhe Yue to buy these two meat dishes from the state-run restaurant."
Now that her family is well-off, Jiang Ci herself is not a frugal person. Even if she used to save money, she would never mistreat herself when it came to food.
Zhou Mingli brought the food to the table and then went to fetch water to wash his hands and face.
It wasn't appropriate to talk about selling things in front of the children, so after the meal, Huang Zheyue took the initiative to wash the pots and pans. Jiang Ci coaxed Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao to take a nap before going back to her room.
"How are the sales?" Jiang Ci asked, seeing him moving books again.
"They're all sold out." Zhou Mingli put fifty books into his bundle, straightened up, and took out some loose change from his pocket.
A few cents, a few dimes, a dollar or two, a whole bunch of them scattered around.
Jiang Ci laughed and said, "Making money is still the best way to go."
"There should be two hundred and fifty yuan. Can you count it?"
Of course, I like Qianjiang porcelain.
She sorted the loose change into different piles, dividing each amount into a separate pile. She quickly counted the amount in each pile and added them together. The total came to exactly 250 yuan.
Jiang Ci took out a blank notebook and started recording the expenses.
Only then did they sort through the money and put it into the tin box that held the biscuits.
“I’ve put all the money you spent on the booklets here. We’ll split the profits with Brother Shen and Wen Yun after they’re sold out.”
Cheng Wenyun helped connect them with a printing factory, and Zhou Mingli also had to give him a share.
“Okay.” Zhou Mingli nodded readily. He was in a good mood and said to Jiang Ci, “I estimate I will make two more trips to the countryside to see if any of the educated youth there want them. That way, they can be sold faster.”
Jiang Ci said in a low voice, "The countryside is far from here, it's not safe for you to go alone."
"I know what I'm doing." Zhou Mingli walked to Jiang Ci's side, hugged her waist, kissed her forehead, bent down and buried his head in her neck, his nose brushing against her skin.
"It itches. If you're tired, lie down on the bed for a while before going out." Jiang Ci couldn't help but laugh twice because it tickled her, and pushed him away.
“You’re right, my battery is extremely low right now,” Zhou Mingli said with a smirk. “I need to charge it.”
Jiang Ci: "?"
Zhou Mingli led her onto the kang (a heated brick bed), pressed her down, kissed and bit her, rubbing against her until Jiang Ci's breathing became erratic.
"Thinking about it?" Zhou Mingli looked at her with a smile. "Do you want me to help you?"
Jiang Ci kicked him, saying, "Whoever causes trouble is responsible."
Zhou Mingli, with an air of resignation, lay down next to her and said something shocking: "Fine."
"Wife, come here."
"Sit on my face."
Jiang Ci: "…………"
Jiang Ci gave him a severe beating.
Exhausted from all the commotion, Zhou Mingli finally pulled her to take a nap.
Zhou Mingli had something on his mind, so he woke up after only a short time.
He kissed Jiang Ci's slightly flushed cheek, tiptoed out of bed, pulled the thin blanket up to cover her chest.
As he walked out carrying a bundle containing fifty booklets, he passed by Jiang Ci's desk where she was studying and glanced at the notes she had made.
She is a person with her own logical thinking, yet she can never quite let go of some wild and imaginative ideas.
Unlike others who write dense text on paper with straight lines, Jiang Ci prefers to use mind maps to take notes, and as she writes, she will jot down her own thoughts.
Zhou Mingli straightened her notebook, picked up his things, and left home.
As Jiang Ci said, if you stand at the right place at the right time and seize the opportunity, even a pig can be blown away.
