Chapter 355 Shopping
on Behalf Xiang Aizhen was alone at home with nothing to do and wanted to find something to do.
If she went to work, she would not be able to take care of her family, so Xiang Aizhen wanted to open a small shop.
She had almost finished getting the goods, but she was still short of food.
Xiang Aizhen went to Lu's house to find Shen Jiale, wanting to get some biscuits from Ruyi Food Factory.
When she came, Xiang Aizhen took two iron frogs from her small shop and brought them to Lu Changjun and Lu Changjie to play with.
The two brothers liked the toys Xiang Aizhen gave them.
They took them to school to play with and were welcomed by their classmates.
A male classmate gave Lu Changjun 50 cents and asked him to buy one for him.
The next day after school, Lu Changjun took the money given to him by his classmates to Xiang Aizhen's small shop to buy iron frogs.
Iron frogs usually sell for 50 cents each, but because they knew each other, Xiang Aizhen only charged Lu Changjun 45 cents.
This made Lu Changjun think of a way to make money.
After arriving at the class, he gave a penny to his classmate.
The classmate was quite surprised.
In this day and age, every penny counts, and every penny saved counts.
When the classmates heard the good news, they all said that they would ask their parents for money when they got home and ask Lu Changjun to help buy them.
In this way, Lu Changjun could earn 4 cents for each iron frog. When
students from other classes heard about this, they also came to Lu Changjun to buy.
By the time school was over, Lu Changjun had received 20 orders.
After returning, Lu Changjun used his own pocket money to buy the iron frogs, and then went to school the next day to sell them to his classmates.
Lu Changjie said, "Brother, you only earn 4 cents from a iron frog, and you have to go so far to Aunt Hua's house. You have the New Year's money given by the elders, why do you want to earn this little money?"
Lu Changjun said like a little adult, "The New Year's money given to us by the elders is a lot, but it is not meaningful to earn it by your own ability.
Grandpa said that we have to earn the bride price ourselves when we get married in the future. Now To marry a wife, you need four major items: a refrigerator, a TV, a washing machine, and a tape recorder. Together, they cost two to three thousand yuan, and
the New Year's money alone is not enough. I buy things for my classmates, and although the money I make is small, as long as the quantity is large, it will accumulate over time and make a considerable income. "
After hearing what his brother said, Lu Changjie was very tempted: "Then I will take out my pocket money and work with you, okay?"
"No need to take it for now, I will discuss with Hua Auntie to see if I can make up the account and get money from my classmates and then give it to her."
After tasting the sweetness, Lu Changjun was no longer satisfied with the income brought by the iron frog, and discussed with Xiang Aizhen whether he could get preferential prices for other products if he bought more each time.
Xiang Aizhen opened a shop just to kill time. When she heard that Lu Changjun was buying things for his classmates to make a profit, she smiled and said, "Did you inherit your parents' business genes? You are so business-minded at such a young age.
Whatever you need, just come and get it. I will only charge you the wholesale price."
Lu Changjun and Lu Changjie thanked them happily.
...
When Xiang Aizhen went to Ruyi Food Factory to purchase goods, she saw Shen Jiale and told him about the brothers' purchasing business.
Shen Jiale was very surprised: "I said they came home so late every day after school, and I thought the school adjusted the dismissal time. It turns out that they went to your house to buy goods."
"Your two sons are smart. They not only buy toys and stationery for their classmates, but also snacks.
They immediately ask me to buy what toys are popular among students in school. Thanks to them, I also make a lot of money."
After returning home, Shen Jiale asked the two brothers.
Seeing that their mother was not angry, the two told the truth.
Shen Jiale said, "Since you want to make a profit by buying things for your classmates, why don't we go to the wholesale market and buy more goods, so you don't have to travel so far every day to buy goods
from Aunt Hua." Lu Changjun shook his head and said, "Mom, we have limited funds. It's risky to store goods at home. If we can't sell them, we'll lose money. We don't need to spend money to buy goods from Aunt Hua."
Shen Jiale smiled and said, "You still know about risks?"
Lu Changjun said, "In business, there are losses and gains. I don't want to lose money. I just want stability."
Shen Jiale was very happy to see that his son could think of so much at such a young age.
In the evening, the couple talked about this matter.
Lu Mingfeng said: "Children are like you, smart and clear-headed. Since they want to do it, we adults should support them and encourage them to set up stalls on weekends."
...
The two brothers were fooled by Lu Mingfeng and actually bought glass beads, thunder bombs, tin frogs, balloons and other small toys from Xiang Aizhen's store, planning to set up stalls on weekends.
Liang Qiaoli was worried, so she followed her two grandsons to set up stalls.
What's more, the two grandsons were not afraid of people at all. They shouted on the roadside and sold things in a very professional manner. After
learning about it, Lu Changguo and Lu Changdong from Lu Mingqi's family also wanted to learn to set up stalls to sell toys.
Zhou Min saw through it: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You just want to buy goods to play with yourself. You really want to make money. You should serve customers in the store on weekends.
Besides, Chang Jun and Chang Jie finish their homework early every day before doing these things. You two study until midnight every day and then go to sell toys. Do you still want to study?"
The two felt guilty. People with poor grades had no right to refute.
Lu Changguo and Lu Changdong did not get what they wanted. Lu Changjun gave each of them a toy.
He said, "Big brother, second brother, if any of your classmates want to buy something, you can come to me and buy it. I will give you a reward."
"Really?"
Lu Changjun nodded, "Or if you like a toy, you can buy it from me after saving enough reward. The price is cheaper than buying it elsewhere."
The two brothers Lu Changguo and Lu Changdong agreed happily.
In this way, Lu Changjun and Lu Changjie received many more orders.
...
One day after school, the little girl next door, Honghong, came to Lu Changjun with a bracelet made by her mother with an IV tube and asked, "Brother Changjun, is my bracelet pretty?"
The bracelet was made of an IV tube filled with various colored wool, and the colors were very bright.
Lu Changjie stared at Honghong's bracelet and couldn't take his eyes off it.
Lu Changjun asked, "Changjie, what's wrong?"
Lu Changjie said, "This bracelet is so beautiful, girls will definitely like it."
Honghong said, "My mother also made a little goldfish, a little rabbit, and a little dragonfly for me."
Lu Changjun took out a candy and handed it to her, "Honghong, can you take me to your house to see it?"
Honghong agreed happily.
When they arrived at Honghong's house, Honghong's mother was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard that they came to see the toys he made, she said, "It's in the basket on the table. If you like them, take two to play with."
The two brothers entered the house under the leadership of Honghong and saw various small toys made of infusion tubes in the basket.
Each one was lifelike and cute.
Lu Changjie took a little goldfish to the kitchen to find Honghong's mother.
"Auntie, this will look better if you add some color to it."
Honghong's mother said, "The IV tubes are transparent, without any color."
The two brothers looked at each other.
Xiang Aizhen's store has colored glass fibers, and things woven with them will definitely look better.
This is undoubtedly another business opportunity.
