As expected, there were absolutely no extra stalls available for transfer at the night market.
Even the exorbitantly priced stalls are not available for transfer.
It's normal. Although a group of students leave during the summer vacation, another group of students returns home. So there are still about the same number of people coming and going.
Everyone wants to work and study during the summer vacation, but it's a matter of whether to start early or late.
"You still lack experience. Anyone with even a little experience wouldn't have done something like this," Lin Wei asked anxiously. "What do we do now? What if we can't find your goods at the stall?"
The three of them seemed unfazed. "Ah, Weiwei, you don't need to worry about us. We'll handle it ourselves. There are some nooks and crannies nearby, we can just set up our stall there. We'll definitely be able to sell all the goods in two months. We'll set our target low and just make back our costs, and we'll be satisfied."
Lin Wei sighed, "The burger shop is opening in August, and I was hoping you could come and help me. If you can't sell out your stock before then, how can you help me? You guys helped with the design there. Don't you want to watch your child grow up from birth?"
The three of them said in unison, "Of course we want to, Weiwei. Don't worry, we'll find a way to sell these things as soon as possible, definitely."
That being said.
But that corner was too remote. It wasn't that there was no business, but business was really bad every day.
Adhering to the bottom line of not disrupting the market, the three of them worked for a whole month but still couldn't sell even one-fifth of their stock.
With only three days left until the burger shop opened, the three of them were getting anxious.
"Weiwei, it seems we're not cut out for business. This stuff is really stuck with us, what should we do?"
“It’s not that you’re not suited for business, it’s that you started doing business without any planning at all. You just lack experience,” Lin Wei said helplessly.
"So what do we do now? Can this be returned?" Anjing asked.
"That's definitely not possible. You've had this for a month already, right? They don't accept returns once they're out of business. Why would they wait this long?" Zhang Yan Yan sighed.
"What should I do? I thought even if I couldn't sell them, there shouldn't be so many left. This is... I could never carry all these bags in my lifetime."
Seeing their anxious expressions, Lin Wei interjected, "It's not that there's no way. Are you willing to take the risk? If you are, I can give you a suggestion right now."
"I'll do anything as long as I can get my money back and it doesn't involve any crime."
Looking at Wang Ying's innocently smiling face, Lin Wei revealed her wicked side for the first time.
...
"No, Weiwei, is this really how it has to be? Maybe we should just forget about it. It's just some stock, it's not like we're stuck with it. It's not like we're making much money anyway." Wang Ying stood at a corner of the night market, holding a megaphone, looking quite helpless.
An Jing and Zhang Yanyan hid behind Wang Ying, also feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"I've already come up with a plan for you. Whether we can break even depends on this. Are you really sure you don't want to give it a try? Don't blame me if you regret it later."
"But..." Wang Ying still felt incredibly embarrassed. "Couldn't we have used another method? Why did we have to use this? What if someone I know recognized me? Don't I have any dignity?"
"If you want to make money, don't worry about saving face. If you want both, you'll easily end up with nothing. Listen to me, grit your teeth, and get it over with."
After Lin Wei finished speaking, she turned and ran away.
Zhang Yanyan reacted quickly and grabbed Lin Wei.
"If it's not Weiwei, why are you running away?"
"How embarrassing."
After shaking off Zhang Yanyan, Lin Wei hid at a distance that was still quite far from them but clearly visible, and gave them a thumbs-up.
After the three men angrily stomped their feet, they huddled together and discussed something. Then they closed their eyes and turned the loudspeaker in their hands up to the maximum volume.
Look, take a look! My sister-in-law and brother-in-law eloped, leaving behind a huge debt. Clearance sale, all sold to pay off the debt.
Take a look...
The loudspeaker in his hand played this shocking statement on a loop, and no matter what the purpose of the passers-by was before, they were all stunned into not moving an inch by these words.
After the show had been broadcast three times, some people actually came up to ask about the price.
"How much is this?"
The prices of the bags had already been set beforehand; they were aiming for a clearance sale, so the prices were naturally much lower than those of other stalls.
"This bag is 8 yuan. It used to sell for 13 yuan. We're having a clearance sale today. Once it's sold out, we won't be coming back."
"What about this one?"
What about this one?
Zhang Yanyan quickly replied, "That one is 12, originally 19. This one is 7, originally 12."
The bag was several dollars cheaper than usual. I was tempted by the bargain, so I just bought it regardless of whether I really wanted it or not.
Within minutes, the stall was surrounded by layers of people.
Wang Ying stood behind Zhang Yanyan and An Jing, silently turning the speaker volume down much, much lower, until it was finally turned off, by which time all the bags had been emptied.
Almost without hesitation, the three packed their things and met up with Lin Wei at the other end of the alley.
"So, have you made back your investment?"
"I made the money back, but... it's so embarrassing."
All three of them blushed.
"There's nothing we can do about it. If we don't find a breakthrough, it won't attract people."
"But you are too attractive. I feel like I have lost all my dignity and self-respect."
This was the first time in Zhang Yanyan's life she had done something so shameful, but when she thought about the money she had earned back—
"In less than two hours, all the goods were sold out, and even at this price, we still made a profit. So let's just accept the embarrassment. Who will remember these things when school starts? Besides, with so many people at the night market, we might not even run into anyone we know."
“By the way, how much money have we made? Let’s count it now,” Anjing suggested. “I’m a little excited and really want to calculate how much money we’ve made.”
"Okay." But when Wang Ying was about to get the money, she suddenly realized that her bag was empty. "Where's the money?"
Wang Ying reached into the bag, and in that instant, her entire hand was pierced through it.
The next moment, Wang Ying let out a sharp explosion.
"Ah ...
-
Police station.
Wang Ying was sobbing uncontrollably.
“We set up a stall at the night market, and we wanted to get rid of the goods by lowering the price. I clearly put the money in the bag on my waist, but I never expected it to just disappear.”
"Do you know when it disappeared?" the police officer asked.
"There was money inside the last bag when I sold it, I remember it very clearly." I didn't touch the bag again when I packed up the stall.
Anjing suddenly seemed to remember something, "When we were packing up the stall, a man fell down next to Yingying. That must have been when he tore open her bag and took the money."
