Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and by the weekend, Gao Mingcheng and the Xuanyuemei couple became full-time clerks at the Xinxin Clothing Store.
Because on this day, all the store clerks have a day off!
Gao Mingcheng originally wanted to give Gao Shufang and Zhang Jinling a day off, but when everyone brought up the topic of fruit picking, he noticed a glimmer of envy in Luo Li's eyes. Well, then why not give all the employees a day off!
Our ancestors always said that what is worrying is not the scarcity of wealth but the inequality of distribution. There will be nothing wrong if everyone has a holiday.
On this weekend, Gao Shufang and others drove Gao Mingcheng's car back to Gaojia Village. Even Luo Li and her husband Huang Dazhi were persuaded by Gao Mingcheng to go together.
Since he was going, Huang Dazhi suggested buying a batch of fruits from Gao Mingcheng and selling them in the shed in front of his house.
The shed in front of his house has been built, and he has also bought a counter, which can be used to display cigarettes and lighters.
Huang Dazhi's request made Gao Mingcheng feel awkward. He didn't intend to take money, but Huang Dazhi insisted on giving it to him, so Gao Mingcheng finally gave Huang Dazhi a cheap wholesale price.
Watching the six of them leave in the car, Gao Mingcheng returned to the store and said to Xuanyuemei, "We are the only family of three in the store today! But speaking of which, hasn't Xiuxiu finished her confinement? Why hasn't Aunt Hu come here yet?"
Wang Xiuxiu gave birth in early May, and now it is early July, so she has naturally finished her confinement. Hu Yinchen has not come here to work yet, it is definitely not because she does not want to work and earn money, but Gao Mingwan has persuaded her to stay.
But I should have told this side.
Normally, the store is not short of staff, so Gao Mingcheng never thought about this matter, or even if he did, he didn't care. But since he remembered it today, he decided to ask about it.
But there were few people in the store and he couldn't leave, so he first called Xiao Jinfeng, intending to ask about the situation from Xiao Jinfeng, and then ask the transportation company for a car to Jingdezhen. If he was going there soon, he would help bring a box of fruit to Fan Licheng.
When Xiao Jinfeng heard about fruit, he smiled and deliberately said, "Mingcheng, the fruit in your mountain is ripe. Why are you only thinking about Fan Licheng and not your brother Xiao?"
Gao Mingcheng also smiled and said, "Last time I went back to the village, there weren't many ripe fruits, so I only picked some to try, and didn't rush to give them to you. Today my sister and her friends are going back to the village to pick fruits, so I asked them to pick more and bring some back. Then I'll give you some to try!"
Xiao Jinfeng was happy to receive Gao Mingcheng's promise, so he said, "Then send more. I have a car going to Jingdezhen tomorrow."
"Great!" Gao Mingcheng didn't expect the timing to be so coincidental, and he was very happy.
After talking about this, Xiao Jinfeng brought up the matter of Gao Mingwan's family.
He said, "Ming Wan's daughter was easy to take care of during the first month of confinement, but she started crying a lot in the second month. We took her to the hospital, and they said she had colic. The doctor said there was no cure and we could only coax her patiently and she would get better when she grew up."
"I tell you, I didn't even dare to pass by his house. The crying could be heard from a long distance away, and the neighbors around couldn't sleep well either."
After hearing this, Gao Mingcheng understood instantly. No wonder Hu Yinchen was kept by Gao Mingwan to continue helping.
Gao Mingcheng spoke a few more words to Xiao Jinfeng, agreed to deliver some fruit to him in the evening, and then hung up the phone.
While he was on the phone, customers came into the store. Many beauties came forward to greet them. Xiao Xuxu was placed next to Gao Mingcheng and was playing with a small ball.
Gao Mingcheng gathered his scattered thoughts and stayed in the store for the entire day, concentrating on selling clothes. In his spare time, he would sort out the account books.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, a familiar car stopped in front of the clothing store.
Before the car door was opened, Huang Dazhi jumped out of the car.
There were six of them in the group, and they could have fit together if they squeezed together. But Luo Li was still breastfeeding, and she brought her son with her. She needed to hold the baby, so it was naturally difficult for them to squeeze together.
After Huang Dazhi jumped out of the car, the front and rear doors were opened one after another. Lou Xinyu and others got out of the car and helped to move things.
The truck bed was filled with all kinds of things, including eggs, vegetables, and a lot of fruits.
Huang Dazhi bought a small half of these fruits at wholesale prices and sold them at his doorstep. The remaining half was either given away or sold at the doorstep of his own store.
Gao Mingcheng took out a large cardboard box, first filled half of it with pears, then filled half of it with peaches, and on top he put some bayberries in a small bamboo basket.
These were intended to be sent to Fan Licheng via Xiao Jinfeng's car.
In addition, gifts for Xiao Jinfeng and Gao Mingwan must also be prepared.
With this distribution, there is no need to sell the fruits picked today. After eating them at home and giving them away, they will be almost consumed.
Gao Mingcheng put the fruit that was to be given to Xiao Jinfeng and his friends back into the truck bed and said to Huang Dazhi, "Let's go. I'll deliver your fruit to your home first, and then I'll go to the transportation company."
"Okay." Huang Dazhi responded, and he and his wife Luo Li got into the car again.
Gao Mingcheng also got in the car. He sat in the driver's seat, started the car skillfully, and drove to Huang Dazhi's door first.
Although the clothing store and Huang Dazhi's house are not on the same street, they are not far away and can be reached by just a short distance.
Huang Dazhi's home is located on the side of the road, with a residential area behind it and some small shops not far in front. The flow of people here is average, but it should be no problem to do some small business.
Hearing the noise at the door, Huang Dazhi's parents went out to check the situation, and then saw their son, daughter-in-law and grandson coming back.
Huang Dazhi's parents missed their grandson so much after not seeing him for a day that they quickly took the child from Luo Li's arms, calling him their good grandson and treasure.
Luo Li had some free time, so she moved things with Huang Dazhi.
In the cart, in addition to the fruits they bought, there were also some straw and vegetables brought from Junling.
Straw is used to pad the fruit under to prevent it from being crushed. If the sun is very strong during the day, you can also use straw to cover the fruit to protect it from the sun.
As for the vegetables, they were also from his family's fields. Ever since he brought his parents to live in the county, the family's land was given to relatives in the village to cultivate, and they had agreed on a certain amount of food to be given every year.
As for the vegetables, the other party said that if they wanted to eat them, Huang Dazhi and others could just pick them from the fields.
But Huang Dazhi and his friends naturally wouldn't come back often, so most of the time, this sentence was just empty talk. However, this time Huang Dazhi took the opportunity to go back and really picked some vegetables from the fields.
Because most of these vegetables were planted by Huang Dazhi's parents in early spring, such as peppers and eggplants. When they moved to the county, the vegetables in the fields had not yet grown, so they had to leave them alone for the time being.
Now is the time when peppers and eggplants are bearing fruit, so Huang Dazhi picked two large boxes of vegetables without hesitation. If he can’t finish them, he can dry them and eat them later.
When Huang Dazhi's parents found out, they were all smiles and praised Huang Dazhi for doing the right thing.
"I planted those pepper and eggplant seedlings one by one, watered them, and fertilized them. It's my duty even if I pick them all!" said Huang Dazhi's mother.
After unloading Huang Dazhi's things from the car, Gao Mingcheng said hello to the Huang family and drove on to the transportation company.
When they arrived at the transport company and the car had just stopped, Xiao Jinfeng came over and joked with a smile: "I have been craving for you since I received your call this morning! I finally got you."
Gao Mingcheng also joked back, saying: "You are already a big boss, and you still need my little fruit to eat? Not to mention our local fruits, even fruits from other places are not lacking for you to eat!"
He took the fruits out of the truck bed and told Xiao Jinfeng which ones were for Fan Licheng and which ones were for him.
Xiao Jinfeng nodded to indicate that he understood.
Then he picked up a peach from his own fruit box. He was too lazy to wash it under the faucet. He just wiped it on his body and put it to his mouth to eat.
When he took a bite, he found some peach fuzz on the skin, which was slightly prickly, but his mouth was soon filled with the sweet aroma of peach. The crispy and sweet taste also made Xiao Jinfeng's eyes light up.
After he ate the peach in his mouth, he immediately said, "Ming Cheng, your peach is of good quality. It can be sold at a good price!"
Gao Mingcheng knew what Xiao Jinfeng meant by this, so he smiled and said, "The peaches I have in the mountains are only enough for me to eat and give away! When I was thinning the fruits before, I threw away a lot of small fruits. In the first few years of this fruit tree, we should focus on growing the tree instead of the fruit. Only when the tree grows well can the fruit be good later."
"The fruit trees in my mountains should be ready for harvest next year. By then, I'll bring all the fruits here and sell them to you. You can then sell them in the provincial capital."
Xiao Jinfeng nodded and thought it was okay.
The consumption level of people in the provincial capital is gradually increasing. As long as the quality of things is good, they can be sold at a high price.
In their county, they can afford high prices, but the sales volume is not large.
Xiao Jinfeng finished eating a peach, and then ate a pear and some bayberries.
When eating peaches and pears, you just feel that they are sweet and juicy. The taste of bayberry is different. The first reaction is sour. Xiao Jinfeng frowned instinctively because of the sourness. But after the sourness passes, it becomes sweet again. This sweetness neutralizes the sourness, and the final taste is quite pleasant.
In the hot summer, many people will lose their appetite. At this time, eating a few sour and sweet bayberries is very appetizing.
While eating fruit, Xiao Jinfeng mentioned the last time he went to Pingxiang to transport coal.
He said angrily, "Not long ago, I learned from a friend that the man who asked me to transport the coal was really bad! He was afraid that the truck loaded with coal would not catch fire, so he colluded with the coal sellers over there and specially loaded me with coal that had been dried for more than ten days! This kind of dried coal is drier than freshly dug coal, and it is more likely to spontaneously combust during transportation!"
Xiao Jinfeng felt that his fists were hard again and he wanted to put a sack on someone again.
In that accident, he lost a sum of money and a truck, and the company's driver Li was also injured and broke his leg!
All in all, the losses were heavy.
The only thing that made him feel better was that he chose an old car because he was afraid that the coal would dirty the car. Otherwise, if the new car was destroyed, he would not only want to put the sack on him, but also want to get out with a knife.
Seeing his angry face, Gao Mingcheng recalled that he had fallen into many traps when he was struggling in society in his previous life. He sighed and said, "Every failure makes you wiser!"
Xiao Jinfeng was just complaining to him. It was such an embarrassing thing that he didn't dare mention it to anyone else.
Since they were already here, Gao Mingcheng took the opportunity to mention to Xiao Jinfeng that he was planning to sell the Subor game console.
Gao Mingcheng said: "I am very optimistic about this product. Brother Xiao, if you think it is good, you can open a store in the provincial capital. It will definitely sell better in the provincial capital."
Xiao Jinfeng's information was not outdated. This Little Overlord was already circulating in the market, and he had heard people mention it.
However, his confidence in the Little Overlord is not as strong as Gao Mingcheng's.
Gao Mingcheng knew how things would develop in the future, so he naturally made up his mind to open a store before Subor advertised. However, most people only realized that this product might sell well after seeing the advertisement, and then all kinds of stores popped up like mushrooms after a rain.
But because the market is so large, anyone who opens a store can make money, the only difference is how much they make depending on the store's location and management methods.
Xiao Jinfeng said: "Why are you so optimistic about it? Although its price is only one-third of Nintendo's, it is still a bit expensive for ordinary people."
The main thing is that after you buy a game console, you still have to buy game cards to play different games. When all these bits and pieces add up, it’s a lot.
Gao Mingcheng smiled and said, "No matter how expensive it is, there are still people who will buy it! I don't plan to open a store to sell it, but I plan to rent a counter in a shopping mall to sell it."
Xiao Jinfeng nodded and thought it would be a good idea to rent a counter in a shopping mall to sell the games. Game consoles were not like clothes, which required a larger storefront to display them.
"Then when are you going to purchase the goods?" Xiao Jinfeng asked. He was considering whether he should open a store in the provincial capital right away.
The resources in the county are limited. Gao Mingcheng decided to open a store in the county. If Xiao Jinfeng also opens a store in the county, neither of them will be able to expand their business.
Xiao Jinfeng has connections and a car, so he can open a store in the provincial capital, or like Gao Mingcheng, find a suitable shopping mall, rent a counter, and then hire someone to sell the goods.
Xiao Jinfeng had even thought about which friends to ask for help, but in the end, Gao Mingcheng lazily said, "It's too hot now. I don't want to travel long distances to buy goods. In August and September, the kindergarten will recruit students and start school. I won't be able to do it! Gao Hong is getting married in October. I'll rent a counter and buy goods after Gao Hong gets married!"
After hearing this, Xiao Jinfeng was speechless!
I heard Gao Mingcheng mention the Subor game console before. He seemed very optimistic about this product and thought selling this product would be a sure-win business. But... this is it!
Seeing Xiao Jinfeng's expression as if he had eaten shit, Gao Mingcheng also laughed.
What he said really came from the heart!
Going out in a sports car on a hot day to discuss business is really uncomfortable! Besides, Xiaobawang will not advertise until next year. After advertising, its popularity will increase and its products will sell better. He doesn't need to rush to purchase goods and put all his money on the goods early. (End of this chapter)
