To celebrate making money today, the group decided to eat outside of school.
After coming down from the dormitory building, they all got into Zhou Chen's big SUV. This time, they couldn't help but fantasize about whether they could buy an SUV to drive in the future.
They didn't dare to dream of it before, but now they are all people who earn two hundred yuan a day.
"Hehe, I don't need to eat or drink. In just ten years, I can own an off-road vehicle from the Chen Ge brand."
Wang Rui smiled.
Zhang Hao stroked his chin. "What a coincidence, me too."
"I don't have such high goals. I'm just happy with any car I can drive away."
Li Wei then spoke.
"Viagra, you're too easily satisfied."
"Exactly, broaden your perspective. When buying a car, you should buy an off-road vehicle like Brother Chen's."
“Brother Chen’s SUV is good, but the insurance is expensive. I think a cheaper car is more cost-effective.” Li Wei said with a smile, scratching his head.
Wang Rui and Zhang Hao both sighed, feeling that Li Wei was indeed too conservative and too frugal.
“Wei Ge is a pragmatist. Don’t try to persuade him. Wei Ge’s idea is not wrong. A car is just a means of transportation. No matter what kind of car it is, as long as it can be driven away, it’s fine.”
Because of the traffic jam at the school gate, Zhou Chen joined in and chatted with the three of them.
Zhang Hao and Wang Rui knew that Li Wei was actually reluctant to spend money. After all, in terms of economic conditions, Li Wei was the worst among the four, so it was perfectly normal for him to develop a frugal personality.
Soon the road ahead cleared, and Zhou Chen drove his SUV slowly out of the gate.
The three people chatting in the car subconsciously looked towards a spot where Zhou Chuan was setting up his stall. At that moment, Zhou Chuan was selling things, and some male and female students were selecting items.
They were unaware of the relationship between Zhou Chuan and Zhou Chen before.
But later, they learned from the comments on an interview video of Zhou Chen that Zhou Chen had three adopted sisters and brothers. However, these three adopted sisters and brothers were extremely ungrateful and frequently caused trouble for Zhou Chen, slandering and defaming her in various ways.
All three of them deeply despised such an ungrateful person and felt sorry for Zhou Chen.
However, this was Zhou Chen's family matter, and they couldn't say much about it.
Zhou Chen glanced at Zhou Chuan, who was setting up a street stall, then looked away and drove off.
"You're so cocky with that beat-up SUV. Driving it around all the time, one day you'll go bankrupt and have to sell everything. Then let's see what you'll be driving."
Zhou Chuan watched the SUV drive away, his eyes filled with jealousy and resentment, cursing Zhou Chen's business to go bankrupt and close down.
"As long as I keep going and keep changing the products I sell, making you stockpile a lot of stuff and tie up your money, who knows, one day my cash flow will break and your business will go under."
"Zhou Chen, I will watch you go bankrupt little by little."
"That day is not far away."
Zhou Chuan dreamt of bankrupting Zhou Chen, so he could have the opportunity to mock Zhou Chen.
The next day at noon
Zhou Chuan is here again.
However, after he set up his stall, Zhou Chuan found that the college students passing by only glanced at it and showed no interest whatsoever.
I squatted there for more than half an hour, but I didn't sell a single item worth of goods.
If Li San were the competitor, it would be perfectly normal for his high prices to prevent him from selling his products. The problem is that Li San hasn't shown up for the past two days. He's practically unchallenged at the university gate, so why is no one buying anything?
"Boss, how much did you sell this for?"
"One yuan a stick."
"What? One yuan for one stick? That's too expensive. You can buy ten sticks for two yuan across the street."
"Let's go, let's go, this is a shady business. The ones across the street are cheaper, let's go to the two-dollar store across the street."
Zhou Chuan frowned as he watched several college students complain about the high price of his products and even call him a shady merchant. He wasn't angry about the negative comments, but rather because he had heard about the two-dollar store.
What is a two-dollar store?
Following the figures of the college students who had just left, Zhou Chuan noticed that they had gone to a shop across the street, with a sign that read "Two Dollar Shop".
When did this store open?
It wasn't there yesterday.
Moreover, the store seems to be very crowded. Is it that popular?
Zhou Chuan watched from afar for a while, then went back to his business. But another half hour passed, and he still hadn't sold a single dollar. Everyone who came to take a look ended up heading to the two-dollar store.
This inevitably frustrated Zhou Chuan.
What's going on?
Why do people all go to the two-dollar store? Is it because the items there are cheaper than there?
Filled with intense curiosity,
Zhou Chuan immediately packed up his stall and went to the entrance of the two-dollar store, where a large loudspeaker was playing an advertisement:
"A real clearance sale, a real clearance sale. You don't need to ask the price, you don't need to haggle, and you don't need to worry about being ripped off. Everything is two dollars. Buy anything for two dollars, pick and choose whatever you like. For two dollars, you won't lose out, you won't be cheated. It's truly great value for money. Everything is cheap, everything is a steal. Everything is two dollars..."
Hearing the catchy advertising slogan, Zhou Chuan was stunned for a few seconds. He realized that everything sold in this shop cost two yuan.
Watching students come out one after another carrying bags of jewelry, socks, notebooks, pens, and other items, Zhou Chuan knew why his things weren't selling: the two-dollar store had everything, and at incredibly low prices.
Where did this formidable competitor come from?
Zhou Chuan stepped forward, ready to go inside and take a look.
Just then,
Li San came out of the shop, smiling at Zhou Chuan.
"It's him!"
Zhou Chuan was stunned. When he saw Li San appear here, he understood immediately that this two-dollar store was set up by Li San, or more precisely, opened by Zhou Chen.
Looking at the various and dazzling goods in the store, which were being purchased by many students, Zhou Chuan suddenly realized a problem. Since Zhou Chen had set up this two-yuan store, no matter what kind of products he changed in the future, Zhou Chen could keep up. Most importantly, stockpiling would no longer be a problem.
Are you worried that these two-dollar stores, with their good quality and low prices, won't sell?
If the two-dollar store at the entrance of Yenching University is so popular, what about other places with high foot traffic, or the entrances of other universities?
Oh no!
Zhou Chen didn't open a two-dollar store at the gate of every university, did he?
If that's the case, he might have a hard time selling anything at his street stall in the future, and even if he does sell something, he might not be able to make any money.
No, no!
He must be overthinking it.
Zhou Chuan quickly shook his head, but he had a bad feeling. No, he had to go and verify it himself.
Immediately,
Zhou Chuan turned and left, hurrying to other nearby universities.
Half an hour later,
Zhou Chuan was dumbfounded when he saw the bustling scene of customers coming and going at the entrance of a university.
He was right.
Two-yuan shops have opened at the gates of all the universities in Yenching.
No wonder Li San hasn't been competing with him these past few days; Li San has been busy preparing to open a two-dollar store, leaving him with absolutely no business.
