Chapter 195 Plagiarism and opening a shop
Huo Jingchen immediately refuted, "No, I told him the truth, but he didn't like it."
"Then why do you have a dark face?"
Huo Jingchen's tone was quite helpless, "He also told some truths, but I don't like to hear them."
With a chuckle, Xia Mi couldn't hold back her laughter and let out a short breath.
She raised her hand and covered her mouth with the back of her hand. Her watery eyes were filled with smiles, sparkling under the light.
"How many days do you plan to stay? I discussed it with my aunt today. My aunt is going to go back to Suzhou after the Chinese New Year."
Huo Jingchen said there was no need to worry, "It will be at most a week. Some soldiers will go back to visit their families during the Chinese New Year, so they won't be away for too long."
The school had already been on vacation a week ago, so Xia Mi had plenty of time off.
Huo Jingchen put his hands behind his head and looked at the ceiling. "It will take at least two or three days before we can leave. We don't need to bring any luggage this time. Just a set of clothes will be enough."
He knew his mother and second sister too well, so he would always take them to buy new clothes.
By then there will be too many things and it will be inconvenient to carry them.
Xia Mi nodded, "Then there's nothing to pack. When Big Brother leaves, I'll go to Qingcheng with him and tell Shen Zhihui by the way."
Huo Jingchen had no objection, he knew that Shen Zhihui's business was getting better and better.
Jiang Weidong mentioned it to him many times.
If it weren't for his wife, Shen Zhihui's business might not have been successful. Huo Jingchen was proud of himself, but unfortunately he couldn't express it due to many factors. -The day passed quickly and it was time for Huo Jingting to leave.
Xia Mi sent him to Qingcheng Railway Station.
"We're here. You can go back first. Be careful when you go back and walk faster on the pedals."
Huo Jingting was also scared last time and was worried that Xia Mi would encounter the same situation again.
"The pedals now have been widened and thickened, so don't worry, brother." Xia Mi still felt a little scared when she thought of the last time.
When she was on the boat today, she took a special look and found that the pedals had been improved.
This time the steel plates connecting the hull are thicker and wider, so the situation like last time will definitely not happen again.
Huo Jingting nodded, "Then I'll go first, see you later."
"Okay, see you in the capital." Xia Mi sent him to the entrance of the train station. She would go find Shen Zhihui later.
After watching Huo Jingting leave, Xia Mi turned around and walked in the direction Shen Zhihui pointed.
When walking to the street where Shen Zhihui's store was located, Xia Mi noticed that there was an appliance repair shop at the entrance, and the decoration looked familiar.
She took a closer look and found that the decoration inside was similar to that in Shen Zhihui's store, and it could even be said to be a one-to-one replica.
Business in the store is good, and the shelves are filled with home appliances that need repair.
Just when Xia Mi was wondering whether Shen Zhihui had opened a branch, a person walked out and looked particularly familiar to her.
Cheng Quan.
Cheng Quan also saw Xia Mi in the store. He thought Xia Mi was Shen Zhihui's client, so he hurried out to greet her.
"Comrade, you are here to buy spare parts, right? Come inside, I have some here as well."
Xia Mi was confused, but in order to find out what was going on, she followed Cheng Quan into the store, pretending to be someone who came to buy spare parts.
Cheng Quan's shop is connected to the shop next door, and the shop next door is full of spare parts.
"Comrade, our store has all the products that the repairman's shop in front has. Moreover, the products here are all from the TV factory. The quality is guaranteed. I cooperate directly with the state-owned factory."
Xia Mi took a look at the parts and saw no price tag on them.
She asked about the price of these parts and found that the prices were similar to those in Shen Zhihui's store, and some were more expensive than Shen Zhihui's.
Cheng Quan waited eagerly for Xia Mi to place an order.
Xia Mi smiled at the man, and said in an embarrassed tone, "Comrade, I'm really sorry. I didn't come here to buy goods this time. A relative of mine works in the factory in front, so I came to see her and went to Boss Shen's house to pick up the goods that I didn't get last time."
Upon hearing that Xia Mi was not here to buy spare parts, Cheng Quan's face stiffened, but he still tried his best to keep a good expression.
"Well, it will be the same next time you come. The goods here are guaranteed, unlike those brought back from small factories in towns and villages."
Xia Mi kept smiling, nodded, and promised him to buy it next time.
After leaving Cheng Quan's store, she quickened her pace, and after making sure that Cheng Quan had not caught up with her, she turned twice before arriving at Shen Zhihui's store.
Shen Zhihui is not in the store, he is in the warehouse.
Xia Mi went directly to the warehouse and saw Shen Zhihui shipping the goods.
She didn't go up to disturb them, and waited until they had picked up the goods before going over.
At first she was worried that Shen Zhihui would be affected by Cheng Quan's store, but she didn't expect that most of the goods in the warehouse were still missing.
"Xia Mi, why are you here?"
Shen Zhihui checked the money and registered it, then looked up and found Xia Mi standing in front of him.
"I was sending someone off to the train station, so I thought I'd come and see you." After that, Xia Mi asked about Cheng Quan's store, "Didn't I come here a few days ago and he wanted to cooperate with you? How come he's already opened the store today?"
"His father is very capable. I heard that the goods have been brought here."
Shen Zhihui spoke calmly, as if he didn't care at all.
"He just treated me as your client and pulled me in. I went in and took a look. The goods are similar to ours, and the prices are also about the same."
This surprised Shen Zhihui.
"He also dragged you into this?" Shen Zhihui said with disdain, "Shameless bastard, just plagiarize me."
Shen Zhihui said in a disgusted tone, "I told him to go out on his own that day, but I didn't expect that he actually listened to me. He can't even repair a radio, but he actually opened a repair shop. Don't you think this is funny?"
Xia Mi frowned, "This Cheng Quan looks like a brainless person. Does his father allow him to do such nonsense?"
Since he has reached the level of deputy factory director, I don't think he would be so irrational.
Renting a store and labor costs, as well as purchasing goods and building relationships, all cost money. Based on the goods Xia Mi just saw, it would cost at least 10,000 yuan.
The average annual income per person is now a few hundred yuan, and ten thousand yuan is not a small amount. Does the Cheng family condone Cheng Quan's reckless spending? "It's not clear. The day you left, he had already bought the store, hired someone to renovate it the next day, and only brought the goods back today."
Shen Zhihui sighed, "You are really lucky. He opened in the morning and you came in the afternoon."
Huo Jingting bought a train ticket for the afternoon, so Xia Mi waited until after lunch before coming.
I didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
"Open for business. No wonder his business is so good. I see a lot of things on the shelf that need repairing."
Shen Zhihui hummed, "He is more ruthless than me. It seems that he gave him a 40% discount. The business in the store is quiet today. People who need to repair their machines have gone over there."
It was normal to operate at a loss on the first day of business, but can Cheng Quan bear such a huge loss?
“So there are fewer people buying parts?”
"Yes, I have already written to those who came to buy parts yesterday to inform them that they can write to me first if they need parts in the future. I will prepare the parts directly and arrange for delivery once the car arrives."
"Have you solved the problem with the car?" Xia Mi's focus was on the car.
