Chapter 081 Lack of Land

The tea business is done. Tang Yuan no longer needs to be out selling tea all day, so he can spend more time making wallets.

There is a time limit for making wallets in the game space, but if you want to make exactly the same wallets, you can make them all at the same time. Even if you only make two or three identical wallets at a time, you can save a lot of time.

Zheng Man has to run around selling wallets, and even if they are completely duplicate styles, it will not affect sales.

Hong Kong has a population of several million. Even if she could sell a thousand wallets a day, that would only be 30,000 a month. Not to mention that this number is far from being reached now, so the wallet market is still huge.

While Tang Yuan was working hard to make wallets, Zheng Man came home after selling wallets all day. She entered the small house with only a small part of the wallet left.

"Xiao Fu."

"Sister, cough cough..."

"I bought you some delicious roast duck and medicine for today," Zheng Man came to her sister, "eat first, then take the medicine, your body will get better slowly."

"Sister, am I a burden to you?" Zheng Fu carefully held Zheng Man's hand.

"How could that be? I'm not a burden. And it's because of you that I have the motivation to do things and make money. Don't be afraid. I've found a very good job now and can make a lot of money every month." Zheng Man said, and seeing her sister's puzzled expression, she reached out and grabbed the pillow behind her, put it behind her, and adjusted her posture.

After confirming that I was seated properly, she said, "Do you remember the person I told you about? The one who asked me to exchange RMB? My sister made thousands of RMB just from this job. Now I'm working with her and helping her sell things. If nothing goes wrong, I can still make thousands of RMB every month."

"Really?" Zheng Fu looked straight at her sister.

"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you?" Zheng Man said with a smile. "Besides, the new cooperation doesn't require taking too much risk. Even if I offend someone in some places, I can still go somewhere else to do it. It's much better than the previous job of picking up garbage."

Zheng Fu said happily, "That's great. When I recover from my illness, I will work with my sister."

Zheng Man thought about it and nodded: "Okay, sister will take you out then."

Zheng Fu's illness was originally just a minor one, but because she had no money, her condition became more and more serious, so she had to stay in bed to rest. But now she has earned money and can buy enough medicine. After a period of rest, her condition will eventually get better.

When the two sisters go out, she will find a safer stall and let Zheng Fu sit there to sell small wallets. On the one hand, she can make more money, and on the other hand, it will allow her to go out and get some fresh air, which will help her recover faster.

The space in this room is too small. It is fine if there is only one person in the room, but it would be a bit stuffy if two people are in the room at the same time. Sometimes Zheng Man doesn't want to stay in the room for too long, but Zheng Fu is forced to stay in the room all the time.

While Zheng Fu was eating, Zheng Man sorted out the things in the house, hid all the savings in a deep place, and took out extra money to pay for the small purse tomorrow.

The small purses she took out to sell were all marked up based on the original price: three yuan was sold for four yuan, five yuan was sold for six or seven yuan, ten yuan was sold for twelve yuan. She sold nearly a hundred small purses a day, and only a few digits were left in her hands.

By this calculation, she can earn at least 3,000 yuan a month, which is enough for the two sisters to live on.

She was willing to pay for the goods in advance, not because she was different from others, but mainly because the place where she lived was not safe. Instead of keeping the money in her hands, it would be safer to take it out to pay for the goods.

After she finished selling the goods during the day, she kept all the money she earned at night.

After a night's rest, Zheng Man got up early the next morning, bought breakfast for her sister first, and then took the remaining small wallet to sell. When the time was almost up, they arrived at the agreed place for the transaction.

Looking at the big bag of small wallet on the other person's bicycle, she pushed her bicycle and walked forward quickly.

"Sold out?"

"Yeah, they're almost sold out," Zheng Man nodded, "I can still sell some more."

"Just right, I brought you 120 today." Tang Yuan saw the almost empty bag in Zheng Man's hand and knew that she had sold almost all of them. "The two cheaper models with small amounts of money will sell better. I brought you a few more. If you sell more, you can make more money."

"No problem. I wasn't familiar with it yesterday, but I'll be able to sell more as I get familiar with it," Zheng Man said, taking the initiative to speak up. "You can bring 130 tomorrow, and estimate it every day. Once it settles down, you won't need to increase it."

"good."

After Tang Yuan agreed, he took the bag full of small wallets and handed it to her, and put the empty bag in her hand on the back seat.

The two's estimation was correct. From then on, Zheng Man needed to increase the number of small wallets almost every day until it reached 160, which was the limit of what Zheng Man could sell every day.

Both Zheng Man and Tang Yuan were very satisfied with this number.

For Zheng Man, even if we calculate the profit at one dollar, she sells 160 pieces a day and can earn 4,800 yuan a month.

There are more in Tangyuan. Based on the average selling price of 4 yuan, that's 160 yuan a day, 19,200 yuan a month, and nearly 20,000 yuan in income. This amount alone is far more than the average salary in Hong Kong today.

With this business already established, Tang Yuan is in no rush to develop other businesses.

As June approached, the weather started to get hotter, so she simply put all her time and energy into making small wallets, making more when she had free time during this period, so that if she had other things to distract her, she would not have enough small wallets to sell.

After deciding to produce in large quantities, she spent at least a dozen hours a day on this, excluding the eight hours of sleep and other odd hours such as eating.

In addition, she can make some identical purses at the same time, so on average she can make more than 250 purses a day. However, even with such a large quantity, after deducting the 160 purses that Zheng Man wants to sell and the average of 40 purses sold in the market, she can save less than 50 purses a day.

Even though Tang Yuan felt that he had plenty of energy, he couldn't sustain such a rushed work method.

A month passed like this. She walked out of her "temporary residence" and looked at the blue sky above her head. She felt as if she was in another world for some reason. Although she had not stayed out completely before, it was never like today. She decided to take a day off. She felt cheerful and the air was fresher.

This won't work. She does the small wallet business just to make money, not to trap herself in endless work. No matter how efficient the game space is, she still needs to operate it herself. Working day and night like this will leave her with no spare time to do other things.

This is different from selling tea. When selling tea, she is always running back and forth, and every time she runs, she makes a lot of money. No matter how hard or tired she is, the money she makes supports her. What she feels most in her heart is the sense of accomplishment of making money.

And every time I sell tea, I meet different people and it is a different experience.

Unlike making small wallets, where the same things happened over and over again, she felt like she was trapped working day after day. It also made her understand why young people in later generations are reluctant to work in factories.

It's not so bad these days, you can earn money working in a factory, and compared to not having enough food to eat, doing repetitive work day and night is nothing.

In later generations, in addition to working in factories, people can also do other things to earn money. In addition, with the development of modern machinery, many people in factories must work strictly according to the assembly line. They cannot be distracted at all, like a machine. Naturally, not many young people are willing to do this.

She turned around and headed for the scrap yard.

We still have to find a way to outsource the work at hand.

As soon as she reached the door of the waste station, Shen Wenyu saw her and immediately waved at her: "It's just right that you're here. I have something for you."

Tang Yuan widened his eyes slightly.

Shen Wenyu guessed what she was thinking, took out something and showed it to her: "Look at this."

"Clothes?" Tang Yuan saw that Shen Wenyu was not talking about "antiques" and took a few steps forward. "What is this...?"

"It's for you," Shen Wenyu said, stuffing the dress into Tang Yuan's hand. Seeing that she was about to refuse, she immediately said, "It's not from me. Aunt Wei asked my second aunt to bring it to you. She said she wanted to thank you for letting her make money. She specially exchanged tickets with someone and asked someone to make this dress for you."

"What should I do? It's not easy for Aunt Wei to make money," Tang Yuan said immediately. "I'll give her the money. This dress is so beautiful. Just consider it as asking Aunt Wei to make it for me."

"Oh, just accept it. Second Aunt explained this to Aunt Wei very clearly. She is just thanking you. Although it is not easy for her to make money, if it were not for you, she would not even have the opportunity to make money," Shen Wenyu said seriously. "Really, I went to see Aunt Wei two days ago. They are now living a much better life than before. It's all thanks to you."

"Auntie Wei is also helping me." Tang Yuan whispered, feeling a little embarrassed holding the clothes.

She did receive a salary, but Aunt Wei did make money for her. The small purses made from the embroidered materials could earn her at least more than 2,000 yuan every month.

"It's okay, she did it willingly, and now she's in a good mood. The clothes were made by someone else," Shen Wenyu said with a smile, "The person who made the clothes is also pitiful. A large family lives together. She has a good skill in sewing clothes. Let her help a little and earn fifty cents. Buy a few pounds of food, enough for the whole family to eat for a few meals."

Tang Yuan was good at sewing clothes, and she was a little moved. But she thought that since the whole family lived together, it would be inappropriate for someone to work in an environment surrounded by such a large family.

This is the bad thing about the times. You have to do business in secret. If it were two or three years later, when you can hire servants at will, she would hire anyone with good skills without saying a word.

But it is not completely impossible.

She still has to find someone to help her with her purse strings. When it comes to the importance of good things and hiring servants, the people who make money will be stricter than she is.

But now she lacks a "territory" that belongs to her.

Xiaofang's temporary residence is still outdoors and she has no fixed place. Does she have to work in an open-air environment?
