Chapter 50 I've struck it rich
Having listened to the whole thing, Gu Shu couldn't help but ask in astonishment, "So we've closed a big deal?"
Gu Yin smiled and nodded: "I guess so, but we'll have to wait for her report to see how much." These days, kids are very simple; they never even considered scammers.
Xiao Shiyi hadn't really thought about this issue. Anyway, she wouldn't suffer any losses. She could just pay and deliver the goods at the same time. If they didn't deliver the goods, she wouldn't pay. What was there to be afraid of?
All the tape recorders were sold, and the money was all in their bags. The group happily took the remaining items back to the county.
Before they even reached the square station, Gu Yin led them off the bus.
Gu Qinglang asked in confusion, "Aren't we supposed to set up a stall in the square?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "Just follow me, let's go."
After walking for less than ten minutes, the group reached the pedestrian street. Gu Yin stopped in front of a small repair shop and asked, "Excuse me, is the owner here?"
The shop owner, who was repairing MP3 players inside, came out and asked, "Does the customer need anything repaired?"
Gu Yin shook her head and took out a bag of radios: "Boss, we have a batch of new radios here, do you want to buy them?"
The shopkeeper put down his tools, rummaged through the bag, and asked, "Where did you get this? How much?"
Gu Yin took out the receipt, folded it to cover the purchase price, and showed it to the boss: "From S City, take a look. We bought it for 18 yuan, and we'll sell it to you for 20. How about we cover the round-trip fare for you?"
The shopkeeper saw that the invoice was from City S and knew the rules, so he didn't look at the unit price below. Seeing that the product name matched, he handed over the invoice: "Too expensive, 15 yuan."
Gu Yin shook her head: "Boss, we'll give you 20. You can then sell it to the merchants in the towns that get their goods from the county. They'll sell it for at least 28 yuan, and then they'll sell it for 30 yuan in their towns. We know that too. We're busy preparing for the New Year, and the other towns are quite far away. Otherwise, we'd bring it ourselves and sell it for 20 yuan. Do you think we'd be a hit?"
The boss looked up at Gu Yin, then at Gu Qinglang and the others: "Children's words don't count, but what about the adults? Is 15 okay? If not, then forget it?"
Gu Qinglang laughed and said, "In our family, the kids make the decisions. If it really doesn't work out, we can go back to town. Anyway, it's only a little bit, and we can definitely sell it all by the New Year."
Gu Yin asked her father to take the goods: "I'll go ask at other stores. If you don't want it, other people should."
In her past life, when she was in high school in the county, her roommate's MP3 player often broke down. Every weekend, she would come to the pedestrian street to get it repaired, and Gu Yin would accompany her. After coming so often, she knew exactly what the repair shops on the pedestrian street were buying, who they were selling to, and how much they were selling for. That's why she wasn't worried about not being able to sell the radio.
Seeing that they really wanted to leave, the shop owner got a little anxious: "Wait, how about 18 yuan?"
Gu Yin smiled and shook her head: "Boss, you're not being honest. We've already been very honest, stating the price clearly from the start. Your adding layer by layer is a waste of time. We still need to take a car back later." After saying that, she turned and left.
Seeing that they really didn't stop, the old man called out, "Young people, don't be in such a hurry! Come here, come here! How much stock do you have?"
Gu Qinglang and the others brought up the remaining two bags: "That's all, about 500-600 of these per bag. How many do you want, boss?"
The shop owner estimated that these would be just enough to sell during the Chinese New Year, and he wouldn't need to go to the city to buy more, as it would cost 25 yuan each!
"I want them all! Can you guys help me count how many there are?"
Unexpectedly, the boss ordered everything at once! Everyone laughed: "The boss is so generous! No wonder his business is so good!"
Who doesn't like to hear nice things? The boss poured them water, and then they started counting together.
"There are 1,500 in total, that's 30,000, right?" The boss put the goods away and took out a calculator to do the math.
Gu Yin nodded: "That's right."
After issuing the invoice, the boss asked, "Do you want cash or bank transfer?"
Upon hearing 30,000, everyone except Gu Yin was a little excited. Gu Yin smiled and said, "Cash is fine. We'll deposit it at the post office, so the boss doesn't need to come with us. It's a bit far!" The post office bank is in the old street, and this is the new street, so it is indeed far. Seeing this, the boss went into the house, took out the money, counted it in front of them, wrapped it in a black plastic bag, and gave it to them.
Gu Yin gave the money to her uncle, then looked at the shop owner: "We still have 400 pairs of headphones here. Boss, how about I give them to you cheaply, one yuan a pair!" There's no point in taking them back, so I'll sell them all.
The shopkeeper opened it and saw that it came in both black and white, and even had a box. He usually sold these for five or six yuan here, so he smiled and took them, saying, "Then I'll take them." He then gave them 400 yuan.
After receiving the money, the transaction was finally complete: "Then we'll be going now. I wish you a prosperous business!"
The shopkeeper smiled and nodded: "If you have any stock after the New Year, you can bring it over, but I don't need that many, five hundred at most!"
"Okay! We'll definitely bring it to the boss then!" After saying that, the group headed towards the station.
Seeing Gu Shu staring intently at the schoolbag, Gu Yin tapped him: "Aren't you worried that someone will notice something unusual about that bag?! You keep staring at it!"
Gu Shu quickly turned her head and swallowed hard: "I'm just a little excited and a little nervous. So much money! Tens of thousands! I've never seen so much money before! My God! We're rich!"
Gu Qingming slung his backpack over his shoulder, keeping his eyes peeled for anything. Hearing his son's words, he laughed and said, "We've really struck it rich! We can have a proper New Year! Come on, let's go home quickly, and count the money with your grandma and the others tonight!"
