Chapter 38 Profits are earned
The goods were delivered, and the students who were waiting to buy drinks quickly gathered around. The three of them didn't have time to talk much, and were busy taking the goods and collecting money, taking the goods and collecting money, and devoted themselves to selling the goods.
There were eight boxes of drinks, each box containing twelve bottles, for a total of ninety-six bottles. More than fifty bottles were sold in a short while.
Seeing this, Lu Jun hurriedly unloaded the things from the tricycle: "He Ye, you sell these drinks first, I'll go to Sister Liu's store to buy some more."
Lu Jun rode his tricycle to Jingu Grocery Store. Aunt Liu looked at the empty tricycle bed and the big beads of sweat on Lu Jun's forehead, and smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.
"Lu boy, how many pieces do you want to buy this time?" One piece means one box.
Lu Jun said, "Four bottles of soda, six bottles of cola, and four bottles of yogurt. No other snacks."
He and Xu Heye both felt that although snacks had high profits, they were complicated to sell. Since they had few people, it would be better for them to focus on selling beverages. After all, beverages made more money and were easier to calculate the price.
So this time I only ordered beverages.
In fact, Xu Heye wanted to order more to save him the trouble of running back and forth. But Lu Jun thought it would be better to be conservative since it was his first time selling goods. He could just buy more after selling them all. It would just mean making a few more trips, and as a grown man, he had plenty of strength.
It would be troublesome if you buy too much and can’t sell it later.
Xu Heye had no choice but to let him go.
On this day, the sports field was bustling with activity, and the small businesses outside were also bustling. Lu Jun rode his tricycle, making rounds after rounds.
By nightfall, all three were exhausted.
Xu Heye sent Kong Xiaoyue to the bus and said, "Xiaoyue, thank you for your hard work. I'll pay you your salary later."
Kong Xiaoyue, of course, refused to take it and continued to argue. The bus started moving. It slowly drove away, leaving only Xu Heye and Lu Jun far behind.
Xu Heye sat in the back of a tricycle, holding her schoolbag, and looked vigilantly at the people and vehicles around her. She always felt like everyone was trying to steal her money.
It’s funny to think about it. When she was able to make money in her previous life, the commission she received each month was much higher than this time.
When I got home, my uncle also came over.
Xu Heye opened her schoolbag, revealing a bag full of money.
One, two, five, ten yuan, colorful money stuffed into the schoolbags made everyone's eyes hurt.
Seeing this, Dong Fuyun hurriedly zipped up his schoolbag.
"Xu Heye, are you stupid? Can you show this to others casually?" He looked around like a thief and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that there was no one else around.
Xu Heye smiled and said, "I have you here, uncle!"
Xu Heye pulled the light cord at the door and turned on the light, "Uncle, Uncle Lu Jun, come in quickly."
After the three of them entered the house, Xu Heye locked the door directly.
Then he took a vegetable basket and poured all the money in the schoolbag into it.
"Start counting the money now!"
The three of them sat around the small square table, each took a banknote of a different denomination and began to count the money.
Half an hour later, Dong Fuyun suddenly slapped himself: "Is this a dream? There are actually 1,389 yuan here!"
Lu Jun also looked at the money on the table with his eyes wide open.
Xu Heye laughed: "Uncle, there are still costs involved! Apart from the first batch, all subsequent batches were bought on credit, and there is also capital that should be paid to Aunt Liu."
Dong Fuyun quickly came to his senses: "Yes, yes, there is still capital."
"The first time, I took two cases of soda, one case of cola, and one case of yogurt. The wholesale price of soda and cola is the same, both 16 yuan per case. The yogurt is a little cheaper, 14 yuan per case. The drinks cost 62 yuan, and the other snacks and egg cakes cost 50 yuan, so the total cost is 112 yuan."
Xu Heye counted out one hundred and twelve pieces from the table and put them aside.
She continued calculating, "Then we bought twelve more cartons of soda, fourteen cartons of cola, and six cartons of yogurt, for a total of five hundred yuan. Add to that the second batch of snacks, which cost forty yuan, and the total cost is five hundred and forty yuan."
Xu Heye counted out five hundred and four, "These are for Aunt Liu, put them aside."
"One thousand three hundred and eighty-nine, minus one hundred and twelve, minus five hundred and forty yuan, leaving seven hundred and thirty-seven, which is today's profit."
The two grown men were stunned again.
Seven hundred and thirty-seven yuan, just for one day. Is this how much a street vendor can earn these days?
Xu Heye counted out two hundred from the remaining money and pushed it in front of Lu Jun: "Uncle Lu Jun, you have worked hard today. This is your wages for today." Lu Jun really put in a lot of effort to sell so much today.
Without him transporting goods one trip at a time, they wouldn't be able to sell so many goods.
Lu Jun refused to accept it: "I can't accept it. I just helped to move some things."
Xu Heye insisted: "Uncle Lu Jun, just accept it. Without you moving things back and forth, we wouldn't be able to make so much money."
Lu Jun still refused to accept it: "Then I can't take so much, it's just moving things. Usually we only get 200 yuan a month for moving goods for others."
"How are they the same?"
The two argued for a while, and finally Dong Fuyun snatched the stack of money, counted out ten Great Unity notes and stuffed them into Lu Jun's hand, and stuffed the rest back into Xu Heye's hand.
"Don't argue. Old Lu, you take half. Just help my niece these few days."
"Okay, then I'll take advantage of it." Lu Jun thought about it and accepted it.
Seeing that they were determined not to take more, Xu Heye had no choice but to give up. She then pushed the hundred dollars that Dong Fuyun had stuffed in front of him and said, "Uncle, this is yours."
Dong Fuyun's face suddenly darkened: "He Ye, what do you mean?"
Xu Heye said, "Uncle, everyone who sees it gets a share. Besides, this isn't just for you, it also goes to Uncle Huang, Uncle Liu Tong, and Uncle Cheng Zijun! But since you guys contributed less, only four of us can share this hundred."
"That won't take that much." Dong Fuyun paused in his refusal, thinking of his other three brothers. However, he only counted out three from the hundred. "Uncle doesn't want any. One for each of the three of them is more than enough."
"Okay, I'll treat you guys to dinner later." Xu Heye didn't force him.
Taking out the fifty yuan intended for Kong Xiaoyue, Xu Heye's final profit was five hundred and fifty-seven yuan. It was only one day, and the sports meet was still two days away. In three days, she could make at least fifteen hundred yuan.
Xu Heye thought about this and looked at Dong Fuyun again: "Uncle, can you take a leave for that job?"
"If you can take a leave, you can come and set up a stall with us these two days. We are short of manpower today and we are overwhelmed, so we have to remove the snacks. But actually there are quite a few people who want to buy snacks." At that time, we can divide the stall into two, one selling drinks and the other selling snacks. Not only will we make more money, but it will also be less busy.
Dong Fuyun also had this idea, "I can take a leave. Our job is part-time, if you don't want to go, just tell your supervisor." He didn't know whether it would be easy to sell today, otherwise they would help sell it together.
