Chapter 287 Jealousy of Shen Yanming
Shen Yanming had no objection and took them to the underground garage.
Because the two sacks were quite heavy and the underground garage was some distance from the office, Shen Yanming asked them to work in pairs and carry the sacks back.
After finally returning to the office, several people slumped in their seats and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
Because Shen Yanming was only leading the way and didn't carry anything, his condition was the best. However, Bi Qiaoan still poured him a glass of water and asked him to drink it and take a rest.
After Ke Wenpei and his friends calmed down, they discussed how to go out and sell dried fruits.
After much discussion, they finally decided to act together because they had no experience, no tools, and did not trust each other.
Shen Yanming ignored all this. He quietly drank the water that Bi Qiaoan poured for him. After he finished drinking, he took out a small quilt and wrapped it around Bi Qiaoan, letting her lean on him to rest for a while.
But even if he doesn't take care of things, trouble will find him.
Ke Wenpei walked up to Shen Yanming and asked, "Yanming, we don't have a scale. Can we borrow your electronic scale?"
“Yes, I can, but I didn’t bring it today. I lent my electronic scale to a friend and it will probably be returned tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
If you are not in a hurry, just wait a little, and I will bring him to you when he comes back."
Ke Wenpei was in a dilemma because they were all anxious to earn food, but he couldn't ask Shen Yanming to take the scale back.
After all, although they were in the same office, they could never get along well with each other due to economic, ideological and other reasons, and they were not very familiar with each other.
Seeing Ke Wenpei's embarrassment, Shen Yanming suggested, "If you need it urgently, you can ask those people you used to do business with and borrow their scales.
Especially for those who used to sell vegetables and meat, their scales have basically become decorations now. You can borrow them as long as you pay rent or give something.”
Ke Wenpei's eyes lit up, he thanked Shen Yanming, and went to discuss the matter with his friends.
Finally, a few people decided to go to Wangchun Market near their workplace.
Originally there was a farmers' market there, but later many shops closed for various reasons.
However, the merchants in Wangchun Market all live nearby and are easy to find.
Seeing that it was already 1:40 and the power was about to go out, Ke Wenpei could no longer resist the urge to make money. He dropped his work and dug out a cardboard box for express delivery from the corner. It was not very big and was just right for the purpose.
Ke Wenpei opened the bag of dried fruits and poured them into the express box. After it was full, he used needle and thread to seal the bag.
As for why they use needles and thread for sewing, it is because they are afraid that someone in the company will steal some. After all, there are so many of them, and one handful per person does not seem to be too little.
Alas, it's a bit narrow-minded, but it's normal.
If it were in other units, there was a chance that someone might steal your food, after all, this thing is rare nowadays.
However, the living conditions of Shen Yanming's colleagues in the unit are pretty good. Everyone wants to save face, so naturally they won't do anything that will bring shame to their reputation.
Finally, at around two o'clock, the power went out. Ke Wenpei didn't plan to waste time in the office anymore. While it was still daylight, he said hello to everyone and went out with the small box of dried fruits.
Of course, several colleagues who were doing business together followed suit.
They first went to Wangchun Market, and after asking around, they found a family that originally ran a fruit business.
However, they no longer sell fruits because it is difficult to find sources of supply. Both of their sons have signed up to work as laborers, leaving the old couple to farm at home.
After Ke Wenpei explained his purpose to the couple, they nodded in agreement, but they would only pay a deposit and rent.
Seeing that the other party did not collect much, Ke Wenpei and several other colleagues agreed. After successfully obtaining the electronic scale, they set up a stall directly in Wangchun Market.
But the sad thing is that there are not many people coming to the market to buy things, and they all come empty-handed. Those who ask about the price also want to buy with money.
"Brother Pei, we won't be unable to sell it, right?" Tian Weihua asked somewhat uneasily.
Ke Wenpei was also a little confused, "No way, didn't Shen Yanming sell it? So many people in our unit bought his dried fruits, why can he sell it but we can't?"
"But you see, we have been here for more than an hour and haven't sold a pound of dried fruits!" said Peng Gang.
Rong Huai was also a little discouraged. "Maybe we are not cut out for business. If it really doesn't work out, we should just go to work honestly."
Ke Wenpei was still unwilling to give up, and shook his head and said, "No, this is only the first day. Maybe if we wait for two more days, there will be business. Don't you think about how many mouths are waiting to be fed at home? If you miss this opportunity, there will be no such store."
"Brother Pei, it's not that we don't want to do it, but the truth is, look at this empty market, there is not even any customer flow, who are we going to sell to?" Tian Weihua said.
"Chen Yanming sold it to a colleague. How about we ask our relatives and friends?" Rong Huai suggested.
“No, if you let your relatives and friends know, won’t they want to have a share?
Besides, how do we live like this? Isn't it because we have too many bad relatives and we can't do anything about them? If they knew that we have a way to earn food, wouldn't they come up to us to suck our blood and eat our meat?
I’m going to make this clear today. If any of you dare to tell anyone about this, we won’t be doing business together anymore and you should get out as soon as possible!” Ke Wenpei said angrily.
"No, no, no, Brother Pei, I just said that. I really don't want to let my relatives and friends know about this. Even if they knew, they wouldn't understand. Instead, they would scold me for not doing my job properly."
Rong Huai paused and said, "I just feel a little unwilling. Why can Shen Yanming build a business, but we can't?"
Ke Wenpei was silent. He was a little jealous of Shen Yanming. Even though this was the business given to him by the other party, it would be useless if he couldn't earn food.
"Forget it, I'll give him a call and ask!" Ke Wenpei said unwillingly.
"Hello, Yanming, I'm Ke Wenpei."
"Well, is everything going well, Brother Pei?" Shen Yanming asked with a smile.
Ke Wenpei was a little embarrassed and hesitantly said, "I haven't sold even a pound yet."
Shen Yanming was surprised, "No way, where did you sell them? How could they not be sold? As far as I know, the market for dried fruits is huge."
Ke Wenpei did not hide it, "We are in Wangchun Market..."
Then he simply recounted the incident.
After hearing this, Shen Yanming fell silent. He really didn't know what was wrong with these people's brains. Even if they had never done business, they shouldn't be inferior to Chen Shunwei and others.
"Brother Pei, who in their right mind would carry food to the market to buy things?"
