The villa was exquisitely decorated; even in Jiang Sheng's previous life, it wouldn't have been out of style.
"Defu's here," the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa greeted Zhao Defu with a smile, then turned his gaze to Jiang Sheng and smiled kindly: "This must be Defu's friend, Xiao Sheng. I've heard Defu mention you a long time ago. Please sit down. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle like Defu does."
Hello, Uncle.
Jiang Sheng greeted the other party politely and sat down with Zhao Defu in front of Zhou Yongming.
"De Fu was able to get into Yanjing City thanks to you, Xiao Sheng. I thank you on behalf of his parents."
Jiang Sheng quickly waved his hand: "Uncle, you're too kind. Zhao Defu and I are good friends, and it's only right that we help each other."
It was rare for Zhou Yongming to see a young man who remained calm in front of him, so he couldn't help but linger his gaze on him for a moment longer.
Even his own nephew, Zhao Defu, became much more docile, like a quail, when he saw him.
The young man in front of me looks mature beyond his years; he doesn't seem like an eighteen-year-old at all.
Feeling Zhou Yongming's gaze, Jiang Sheng met his eyes calmly and smiled faintly.
"I came in a hurry today," Jiang Sheng said, placing the cured meat and brown sugar on the table and smiling frankly. "I just bought some things casually, nothing expensive. Uncle, you must accept them. They can help nourish the family."
Zhou Yongming then noticed the free-range eggs, brown sugar, and other items on the table, and immediately stood up.
“How could I let you spend so much money? I can’t accept things from a junior like you,” Zhou Yongming said, picking up the eggs and brown sugar and stuffing them into Jiang Sheng’s hands. “You and Defu are both still students. Don’t waste this money. Take it back quickly…”
“Uncle,” Jiang Sheng interrupted Zhou Yongming, pushing the things forward and smiling sincerely, “My family’s living conditions are not bad, and I don’t mean anything by it. Since I’ve called you uncle, I should naturally treat you as an elder. Please accept it.”
"Yeah yeah!"
Beside him, Zhao Defu quickly came over, saying with a mixture of envy and pride, "This money was all earned by Brother Sheng himself from setting up his stall. He made seventy or eighty yuan in just two days!"
Zhou Yongming was taken aback upon hearing this, and then looked at Jiang Sheng with some surprise.
"Xiaosheng, did you really earn over eighty in just two days?"
It wasn't that Zhou Yongming didn't believe it, but the boy in front of him was only eighteen years old.
If someone sets up a stall and can earn eight or nine yuan a month, that's considered a good business.
The young man in front of me doesn't seem to have anything special about him, yet he can earn over eighty yuan in just two days!
If Zhao Defu is right, and Jiang Sheng hasn't come up with any shady ideas, then this young man is probably a true business prodigy of the new generation!
After all, who would consider setting up a street stall as their main job?
Even if it were their main job, how could they possibly earn so much money?
Faced with Zhou Yongming's somewhat suspicious expression, Jiang Sheng smiled faintly.
"Uncle, money is indeed hard to earn. I only made over eighty in two days, and I had to come up with a lot of ideas to succeed."
Given his personality and insight, he wouldn't normally show off intentionally, but at this moment he was actually speaking on purpose.
"oh?"
Zhou Yongming became interested after Jiang Sheng mentioned it.
"I'm really interested. Please sit down and tell me about it."
After the three of them sat down, Jiang Sheng explained all his ideas for making money.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Defu next to him was even more excited than Jiang Shengdu.
"My God, Sheng-ge, how are you so amazing? You even came up with an idea like this!"
Zhao Defu looked at Jiang Sheng with admiration: "Brother Sheng, you're so smart! Can you teach me how to make money with you?"
"You brat," before Jiang Sheng could speak, Zhou Yongming slapped Zhao Defu on the back: "It's already a blessing that you were able to get into university. Instead of studying hard, what are you thinking about making money for!"
Having been slapped for no reason, Zhao Defu said in a low voice, feeling very aggrieved, "If Brother Sheng can make money, then what about us? We're both in the same school and even the same major. With him around, my grades will definitely be excellent!"
"You little brat, you actually think you're right..."
“Uncle, don’t be angry,” Jiang Sheng interrupted Zhou Yongming with a smile. “If Defu really wants to make money, I’ll take him under my wing. University coursework isn’t particularly heavy, so I’ll take care of his grades.”
"This is really too much trouble for you."
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhou Yongming brought up the matter of Jiang Sheng making money earlier.
"By the way, Xiaosheng, could you tell me more about your money-making strategy?"
Zhou Yongming was truly captivated by what Jiang Sheng had just said.
I never expected that this eighteen-year-old boy would have so many business ideas in his mind, and his marketing skills were even more amazing.
Seeing that he had attracted Zhou Yongming's attention, Jiang Sheng smiled and explained his thoughts one by one.
"No one can afford a whole can of canned food, since a whole can of meat weighs about a pound, which is more expensive than just buying a pound of meat."
"Even so, there is still a market for canned meat, simply because it tastes incredibly delicious."
"If they could be sold separately, ordinary people would have the means to buy them. They could buy them for just a few cents and wouldn't feel bad about the cost."
"Fruit cans are priced at a uniform five cents each, and meat cans, as the price anchor, will definitely sell for a higher amount."
"As for those socks, I managed to lower the purchase price. Socks that cost eight cents for three pairs and socks that cost one mao and fifty cents for a pair also served as price anchors, which helped to open up some sales channels."
“Price anchor?” Zhou Yongming was intrigued by the technical term Jiang Shang used: “Young man, how did you come up with the term ‘price anchor’?”
Jiang Sheng chuckled inwardly.
To be honest, he didn't invent this word himself; it's a unique word that existed in his previous life.
Although he majored in computer science in his previous life, he minored in marketing in his second year, so he was naturally very knowledgeable about these topics.
So Jiang Sheng simply used easy-to-understand vocabulary to explain to Zhou Yongming what a price anchor was.
Zhou Yongming suddenly understood: "So that's how it is!"
His face immediately showed surprise, and he gave Jiang Sheng a thumbs up.
"I didn't expect Xiaosheng to not only have such good grades, but also to have such a good grasp of marketing."
After saying that, Zhou Yongming glared at Zhao Defu again: "You kid, you should learn from Xiao Sheng. You need to be good at at least one of these things, whether it's studying or making money!"
"uncle!"
Zhao Defu said with great dissatisfaction, "I was also one of those who got into university, and I'm sure I'll have a bright future. Can you please stop saying that?"
