Chapter 71 Attempt 1
Zhang Wei’s primary school life was not so easy and relaxed afterwards.
Teacher Mori did not continue to let Zhang Wei learn more advanced mathematics knowledge. Her calm and composed attitude also influenced Zhang Wei, making her no longer obsessed with learning first than other peers.
It reminded her of a middle school classmate. She heard that he had finished all the high school courses during the summer vacation, and when school started, everyone looked at him with admiration and praise.
However, he only achieved an average level in the first monthly exam, which was far from what everyone thought was a top student. Even by the end-of-semester exam, he had fallen back to the ranks of poor students.
Zhang Wei had never remembered such an intuitive memory before.
For ordinary people with average talent, knowing why something happens is far more important than knowing what it happens. This is also the truth that Zhang Wei realized after this year.
Teacher Mori asked Zhang Wei to give her some difficult and unusual questions during the teaching time when other students were attending classes at a normal pace, in order to train her critical thinking, logical thinking and creativity.
This process actually takes a lot of time. Sometimes one question even takes a whole class to think about. Zhang Wei also tried to solve it using only her current knowledge, but at this time she had to admit that she was indeed not that smart.
However, she is still very perseverant, and the sense of accomplishment she gets from solving these problems is incomparable. She has gradually fallen in love with studying these problems.
Fortunately, although her ideas have become solidified, her thinking is still young. After a period of problem-solving training, she finally feels that she has made great progress.
As a result, her chess skills also improved a lot, which was also done under the advice of Teacher Mori, and her opponents advanced from Paris to the best in the club.
Mr. Mori suggested that these top math students engage in more strategic activities to help improve their thinking skills. Zhang Wei made progress in chess, while Paris opened another window for him - computer programming.
And his skill finally helped Zhang Wei, who was scratching his head in poverty, find a way to dig up his first pot of gold.
At this time, Paris had entered the last year of elementary school, and Zhang Wei had finally been promoted to the third grade.
Although she, Dora and Paris didn't spend as much time together as before because of their different interests and club choices, they still found time to play together.
Most of the time, Zhang Wei and Paris played chess while Dora read a book on the side. It felt casual and leisurely like a gathering of old friends.
This time Paris wanted to ask their opinions because he decided to create a website himself, but he hadn't decided on the type of website.
When Zhang Wei came up with this idea, he immediately thought of the shopping websites that people used to rely on, Taobao and JD.com.
"Can we create a shopping website?" Zhang Wei said immediately.
“Like Amazon?” Dora asked.
At this time, Amazon was already the largest online book sales website.
"Doesn't Amazon already sell other things? What can we sell?"
Zhang Wei was really thinking about this problem at this time. At that time, domestic online shopping websites had just emerged. Maybe they could achieve financial freedom sooner.
Paris hastened to break her fantasy:
"Hey, I think you guys think I'm too powerful. I mean, I can probably only build a simple website."
Zhang Wei quickly encouraged him: "No, Paris, you are already confident in making an ordinary website, right? Why not give it a try? I think you can do it!"
"Yes, Paris, you learned programming in just two years, don't be discouraged!" Although Dora didn't understand the difference between them, she was full of confidence in her friend.
Paris seemed to be convinced by them:
"Okay then, I'll go and learn about the process involved in creating a shopping website, but I'm not sure I can do it. I hope you won't be too disappointed."
Zhang Wei might be too obsessed with making money; she's already thinking about what she'll sell on the website in the future...
So much so that after dinner in the evening, he couldn't help but consult the business tycoon Charles.
It was only when Zhang Wei accidentally saw a financial newspaper that he learned that Charles' company is currently one of the largest computer manufacturers in Country A. Although it is not the best-selling computer brand in later generations, it is also a brand that is familiar to Chinese people.
"Dad, if we want to open a shopping website, do you have any suggestions?"
"Wow, that's a really great idea! You and Namiel?"
Zhang Wei looked at Namir, who was still eating seriously, and shook his head. "Paris and Dora, if Namir is willing, can also join."
"No, don't look for me, I'm very busy lately!" Namir immediately refused.
He recently started taking part in ice hockey games and his training hours are quite long.
Although his physical fitness has been greatly improved after training with Venus, practice before the game is also essential.
"Come on, tell us what you think!" Charles moved from the dining room to the sofa, ready to listen attentively.
Zhang Wei: "To be honest, Dad, we are still in the conception stage of the website. It's just that Paris may lack some experience in website production."
"Although the idea is good, creating a website is not an easy task."
"Paris can already create ordinary websites by himself, maybe he can do it." Zhang Wei couldn't pour cold water on himself.
Charles smiled and asked, "Okay, tell me what you want to do with this website?"
"I think we can sell second-hand books!" This is what Zhang Wei just thought of.
Because Amazon originally started out as a bookstore, and genuine books here are still relatively expensive, Zhang Wei thought of the books he had bought in the past few years, and the cumulative number was not a small number.
It was Emma who gave her the book vouchers that allowed her to buy books freely, and a large number of books lost their value after Zhang Wei completed her studies.
It can be said that Zhang Wei herself has a lot of old books that she can’t use, not to mention her friends.
And she immediately thought of her biggest source of goods - the flea market during graduation season. She believed that if she was willing to purchase them, her classmates would be happy too.
"Besides, if there are any books that don't sell, we can donate them to charity!"
Buying second-hand books is not very expensive, and even if you can't sell them, donating them is still a good option.
"This is a good idea and seems to be well thought out, but do you think anyone will buy it?" Charles asked again.
"A book originally priced at twenty dollars can be sold for ten or even eight dollars if it has only a minor flaw. If it's very old, it can be sold for five dollars. I think people with less financial resources will buy it."
The more Zhang Wei thought about it, the more he felt that this could be done.
