Compared to the hard work and fatigue of dragging heavy cargo on the way there, they were obviously much more relaxed when they came back.
Li Chunli was probably very tired and even fell asleep on Yuan Fangguo's shoulder in the car.
Yuan Fangguo felt a little embarrassed, especially when the faint scent of Li Chunli's perfume kept drifting into his nostrils, making him feel hot and uneasy all over.
He really wanted to move, but after seeing Li Chunli's face sleeping like a baby, he tried his best to remain motionless, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
More than twenty minutes later, Li Chunli finally woke up with sleepy eyes.
"I'm sorry." Li Chunli rubbed her eyes and said embarrassedly.
Yuan Fangguo smiled, said nothing, and continued to look at the rural world outside the window.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when the two returned to Li Chunli's stationery store.
Just as she arrived at the store door, the owner of a nearby shop came over and told her that the police had come that afternoon and Xiao Mingliang was detained for ten days.
"Why are you detaining him now?" Li Chunli seemed a little dissatisfied.
"It seems that after Xiao Mingliang ran away that day, he drove to another place for a few days. After he came back, the police immediately arrested him." said the woman.
After seeing what was happening, Li Chunli finally revealed a satisfied smile.
Although there are still some summer clothes left, these are only a small number. They sold about 650 summer clothes today.
Li Chunli was counting money in the store as if she was full of energy. After more than ten minutes, she finally counted the total amount, which was 2,650 yuan, excluding the 70 yuan for lunch.
Li Chunli said excitedly, "Fang Guo, our current net profit is 2,650 yuan. Adding the 2,200 yuan from Wednesday, the total is now 4,860 yuan."
"So much?" Yuan Fangguo couldn't help laughing. He really didn't expect that today's profit would be higher than Wednesday's.
Li Chunli nodded. "Yes, that's indeed a lot. Let's try to sell all the remaining summer clothes tomorrow, and then we'll go to Dabanya to buy some more next week."
"Sister Li, let's not buy summer clothes next week." Yuan Fangguo shook his head.
Li Chunli was a little puzzled. "If we buy less, it will be harder and the sales volume may not be as high, but at least we will still make a profit."
"Starting from next Tuesday, it will rain in the entire Chengdu area. The rain will last for half a month. The weather will definitely get colder. Who would still wear summer clothes?" Yuan Fangguo said.
"No way, how do you know it will rain starting next week?" Li Chunli said in surprise.
"I listen to the radio specifically for the weather forecast."
Seeing Yuan Fangguo speaking with such confidence, Li Chunli knew that he was not lying to her, and there was no need for him to lie to her. Their business was doing much better than before, and who wouldn't want to make more money?
"It seems we need to take a break." Li Chunli smiled helplessly.
"We can sell other things to the countryside," said Yuan Fangguo.
"What is that?" Li Chunli stared at Yuan Fangguo with wide eyes, as if she had been injected with a shot of chicken blood.
"For example, umbrellas and raincoats. I think raincoats might sell better in rural areas than umbrellas."
"That makes sense." Li Chunli thought about it and nodded, but she quickly added, "What about after this? Should we sell summer clothes or autumn clothes?"
Yuan Fangguo thought about this problem, and he also wanted to tell Li Chunli his thoughts.
"Sister Li, I have an idea and I want to talk to you about it." Yuan Fangguo looked at her and said.
Li Chunli nodded, "You said, Fang Guo."
"I'm thinking of going to Yangcheng, Guangdong Province, during the National Day holiday," Yuan Fangguo said. "Let's go there and take a look. Have you ever wondered why Daban Ya is so rich? He gets all his goods in Yangcheng. Factories there are opening one after another, and their costs are much lower than in our agricultural province, so their prices are very low. Daban Ya is actually the same as us. He takes advantage of the price difference, but we are just of a lower quality."
"Then we can also set up a warehouse at the train station and do wholesale." Li Chunli said quickly.
Yuan Fangguo smiled, then shook his head. "Following the trend is definitely not advisable. The clothing business can make money by taking advantage of the price difference, but there are a lot of scoundrels in it, from the industrial and commercial officials to the management staff, including the local hooligans. They are not easy to deal with. When you make money, everyone will be jealous and want a piece of the pie. We were lucky these two times and didn't encounter those hooligans looking for trouble. Have you ever thought about what we would do if we encountered hooligans in those towns?"
When Li Chunli heard Yuan Fangguo's analysis, she found it very close to reality. Take the incident today where the merchant opposite her was against her. If there was a conflict between the two parties, she might really suffer.
"Then what should we do?" Li Chunli became a little worried.
"What can we do now? We have to endure it. Whoever has money is the boss. When we have money, everyone will come to us for help. However, when it comes to things like suffering losses, we have to eat what we deserve, but we can't be treated as fools for what we shouldn't suffer." Yuan Fangguo said in a loud voice.
"That's true, but I still think it's better to make money through harmony," said Li Chunli.
Seeing that Li Chunli's face began to show some fear, Yuan Fangguo knew that he had considered the problem too comprehensively, which made her feel worried and afraid.
"Am I thinking too much?" Yuan Fangguo asked with a smile.
Li Chunli shook her head and said seriously, "Fang Guo, you don't think too much. You and I definitely don't want to keep running errands like peddlers to make money. Sooner or later, we have to settle down and expand our business, so sometimes we have to deal with people we have to deal with. It's just that we haven't reached that stage yet. What do you think, if we really encounter those hooligans causing trouble, what should we do?"
Yuan Fangguo thought for a moment and said, "If I really encounter hooligans causing trouble, and they ask for a little money, I'll just take a small loss. But if they go too far, I think I'll have to deal with them."
"How do we deal with them? Tell the police? Or find someone to beat them up?" Li Chunli asked.
Yuan Fangguo gritted his teeth and said, "It's not worthwhile to beat them up and call the police."
After listening, Li Chunli fell silent. She didn't know whether Yuan Fangguo's approach was right or wrong. Perhaps when it comes to interests, there is no absolute right or wrong.
