"This is your own shop. You don't have to pay any rent. The investment in opening a shop will be less than that of others, right?" Wang Mudan probed.

There was nothing to hide about this, Shen Huanxi nodded: "Yes."

"Then can you please make the sign and door of your store, the things that outsiders see, better? I think your door is a bit old, and now there is no sign at all. It doesn't look like a shop open for business." Wang Mudan looked disgusted.

"Ah..." Shen Huanxi looked up and saw that Zhang Guifen's shop really didn't even have a sign.

Of course, even if she had a sign, she would have to change it. She couldn't continue to use Junjun's mother's sign to do business. She was just a little surprised that Junjun's mother had been doing business for so many years without a sign.

"The woman who rented your store before had poor family conditions and no money to put up a sign. That's normal, but your family can't be so poor that they don't even have the money to put up a good sign. Clothes make the man, and so does the store. If you don't do a good job, how can you attract customers?" Wang Mudan said again.

"Let's talk about it later. I haven't even finished setting up the shelves yet." After saying this, Shen Huanxi went to the store to instruct Carpenter Li's apprentices to set up the shelves.

Wang Mudan followed and stood a few steps away from her. She didn't move until Shen Huanxi moved, and she moved when Shen Huanxi moved.

"Xiao Shen, don't just focus on fixing the shelves. The problem I'm talking about is also very important. You can't be so indifferent.

Look at my shop, it is well decorated and the sign is nice. Even from a distance, it is easy to be attracted. Isn't it much more eye-catching than other painting shops? If you also decorate it well, our shops will be next to each other, wouldn't it be more attractive? "

"Is that so..." Shen Huanxi didn't say much, but at this point, Wang Mudan's purpose was very clear. She wanted her to decorate the store well.

"Look, isn't my shop quite eye-catching? It attracts people here, and they might even take a second look at your shop. You are taking advantage of me. Junjun's mother took advantage of me in the past. I must feel uncomfortable being taken advantage of by her, but her conditions are poor, and I can't ask her to spend money on decoration. But you are different. If you can decorate your shop well, you can attract customers yourself, and it will be a win-win situation for both of us, don't you think?" Wang Mudan added.

The meaning of her words was even clearer. She said that Junjun's mother had taken advantage of her in the past.

If Shen Huanxi doesn't renovate the store well now, he would be taking advantage of her.

"Sister Shen, I think what this female comrade said is right. Having a good signboard will also be good for doing business. Otherwise, you might as well make the signboard in our store. You bought so many shelves from my master, we will definitely give you a discount. Besides, we are acquaintances, and my master and I have worked very hard. It is better than you looking for someone else outside." Xiao Ma, a young apprentice of Carpenter Li, said after hearing what Wang Mudan said.

"Xiao Ma, just do your job well. Why do you meddle in other people's affairs? Xiao Shen has already spent so much money to buy so many shelves. How do you know she can still afford to make a good sign?" said Aunt Zhang who came over to help.

She knew that Xiao Ma was trying to help Carpenter Li attract business, but she didn't want Shen Huanxi to do their business reluctantly or under instigation. She would not feel at ease making money like that.

After being scolded, Xiao Ma dared not say a word. Aunt Zhang looked at Wang Mudan again.

"I say, female comrade, aren't you being too nosy? Even though Xiao Shen's store is next to yours, you can't interfere with his business. Your store is decorated quite nicely, but it wasn't Xiao Shen who asked you to decorate it like that. You blame him for taking advantage of you. That's unreasonable."

"When did I say that? I was talking about Junjun's mother who used to open a shop here, not Xiao Shen." Wang Mudan was unhappy when Aunt Zhang said that.

"Isn't it a win-win situation? My store's sign is eye-catching, attracting people's attention, and it can also help Xiao Shen's store attract customers. If Xiao Shen's sign is also more eye-catching, wouldn't our two stores be more eye-catching next to each other? Wouldn't it be easier to do business if the two stores are next to each other?"

"You mean you're just doing one-size-fits-all business, relying on the good-looking sign and storefront to attract people? You don't do long-term business? Haven't you heard the saying, 'Good wine needs no bush'? If the things you sell in your store are good, you will have many repeat customers, and you don't need to use these attractive means to do business." Aunt Zhang said again.

"You can't say that..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking." Shen Huanxi interrupted Wang Mudan. She didn't want to see Wang Mudan arguing with Aunt Zhang here.

The reason why Aunt Zhang argued with Wang Mudan was that she was afraid that she couldn't come up with the money, so she wanted to help her get Wang Mudan to give up this idea.

After all, it was all for her own good. She couldn't just watch Aunt Zhang help her without saying a word.

"Aunt Zhang, Uncle Li, actually, even without Comrade Wang telling me, I also wanted to make a sign. Xiao Ma just said that you can also make signs here. Why don't you help me make it? Didn't I buy all these shelves from you? They are all made of walnut. I just want to make a walnut sign so that it will be consistent with the shelves in the store and will look better." Shen Huanxi said again.

"Do you really want to be a signboard?" asked Aunt Zhang.

She was afraid that Shen Huanxi gave in just to prevent Wang Mudan from saying anything.

She has been in frequent contact with Shen Huanxi recently, and she knows that Shen Huanxi is not a calculative person. She and her husband have received such a great favor from Xiao Shanhe, so naturally they don't want Shen Huanxi to suffer any loss.

Shen Huanxi nodded.

"I want to do it. Wasn't this store used by Junjun's mother to sell non-staple food? Junjun's mother made everything by herself. She has good craftsmanship and a good reputation. She must have many regular customers. I want to make a sign to tell her regular customers that the store has changed. Secondly, I run my own business and I have to put up my own sign. I don't want regular customers to want to introduce my store to me. When they ask which store it is, they can only point to the address but can't tell me the name."

When Aunt Zhang heard what Shen Huanxi said, she also thought it made sense.

"That's true. Since Lao Li is here, why don't you just tell him what kind of sign you want to make?"

"Uncle Li, you can just make a sign as big as the one in the painting shop next door and hang it at the door of my shop. Carve the four words 'Happy Shop' on it. I'll ask Shanhe to write the words. After he finishes writing them, I'll send them to your shop and you can carve them according to what he writes." Shen Huanxi said.

Xiao Shanhe's handwriting is beautiful. She feels that no one else's handwriting can compare to it and his handwriting is the best.

"Okay, I'll go back and prepare the plaque first. I happen to have nothing to do these two days. Just bring the words written by Dashan over and I'll make it for you right away."

"good."

Shen Huanxi had already made arrangements with Carpenter Li, but Wang Mudan was still a little dissatisfied.

"Xiao Shen, you didn't tell me clearly what your store is for? Happy Shop? The name of this store is unclear. Even if others see your sign, they can't guess what business you do. This is not good.

Before I said that, I didn't see you mention that you wanted to make a sign or something. You just wanted to make a store name. You didn't come up with it on the spur of the moment, did you? How about you think about it again? Or you can tell me what you want to do and I'll help you think about it. "

"Hey, female comrade, why are you getting more and more unreasonable? You just asked them to put up a good sign, and they did it. They also said they used walnut wood, which is a very good material. Some people are not careful and just hang a plastic sign. What else do you want to say? People should know how to be content. This is just the store next door to you, not your own store. Don't be too nosy." Aunt Zhang spoke up for Shen Huanxi again.

"Then this is not your store. I am discussing this with Xiao Shen, not with you. Xiao Shen hasn't said anything yet. Why are you saying so much?" Wang Mudan retorted to Aunt Zhang.

"Mudan, why are you here? Did you get the painting I asked you for last time?" Before Aunt Zhang could say anything, she saw a fat woman in her early forties standing outside Shen Huanxi's shop named Wang Mudan.

"Hey, I'll be right over." Wang Mudan said to the fat woman first, then turned back to look at Shen Huanxi, "Comrade Shen, you have enough money to buy a walnut sign, so just think about how to do it. You have just opened a store and started a business, but I have been running this store for five years. I have more experience than you. I want to make a win-win situation with you, and I will definitely not hurt you."

After Wang Mudan finished speaking, she went back to her shop to entertain the fat woman without waiting for Shen Huanxi to answer.

"Mudan, I just waited in your shop for a while but couldn't see you. I didn't expect you to come to the shop next door. Why did you stay here for so long? If I hadn't heard your voice, I wouldn't have known you were here." The fat woman outside complained.

Wang Mudan sighed.

"Sister Peng, I am here to teach the new girl next door, Xiao Shen, how to do business. I just don't know if she can listen to me. If she can listen to me, her business will be better in the future. If she doesn't listen to me, I don't know if her store can continue to operate.

Sister Peng, please tell me. She said her shop will be called "Happy Shop". Just tell me, just by looking at the name, can you guess what her shop does? Would you go in? "

"Who can tell what you do? Look at how clearly it's written on your shop, 'Peony Painting Shop'. It's clear at a glance. Anyone can tell what your shop does. Her name doesn't have that effect."

"Isn't that it? Why doesn't Xiao Shen understand? Does she want the store to go bankrupt as soon as it opens?" Wang Mudan sighed again.

…

The conversation between Wang Mudan and Sister Peng was heard at Shen Huanxi's store, and Aunt Zhang and Xiao Ma all felt uncomfortable.

"Huanxi, is this Wang Mudan next door someone you knew before?" Aunt Zhang asked uncertainly.

Shen Huanxi shook his head.

"I had never seen her before I came here."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang and the others frowned.

"Since you don't know each other, why does she care so much? She thought you two knew each other well. Xiao Shen, I know you are easily influenced, but don't listen to her. You bought so many shelves from us and spent a lot of money. If you don't have enough money at the moment, don't rush to make this sign. Don't care what she says. Look at the shops on the street. How many of them have signs?"

"Yes, Sister Shen, look at the bacon shop next door. It's a well-known bacon shop. People who like to eat bacon like to line up there to buy it, especially during the Chinese New Year and other festivals. But they rely on word of mouth to do business, and they don't even have a signboard." Xiao Ma continued.

Shen Huanxi smiled and shook his head.

"No, I just want to make this sign. It has nothing to do with Wang Mudan. I would want to do it even if she didn't say it. You don't have to worry about the money. I still have a lot of money on hand, enough to spend."

"It's up to you what you want to do." Carpenter Li, who had been silent just now, spoke.

"But Xiao Shen, can your shop really just be called 'Happy Shop'? Is there really no need to clearly state what it does? Just like the painting shop next door, is it not clearly stated on the sign?" Carpenter Li asked again.

Shen Huanxi shook his head.

"No, just call it that."

She said this with certainty, mainly because she herself is still unsure what she will do with her store in the future, and even if she makes a decision now, she may change careers at any time.

It was like she had made her first fortune by speculating in stamps, but she couldn't rely on that alone to make money. The times were changing too fast, and she wasn't sure what to do next.

It is clear what the business does by writing it clearly on the sign, so people can understand it at a glance. But if one day she suddenly wants to change her business, doesn't she have to change the sign again?

"Okay, then I'll do it according to your requirements." Carpenter Li didn't say anything more and did as Shen Huanxi said.

…

Shen Huanxi left the task of arranging the shelves to Carpenter Li and the others, and she went to the printing factory herself.

In this day and age, printers are still relatively scarce precision instruments that ordinary people and ordinary businesses cannot afford. If she wants to print something, she has to go to a printing factory, and the price is not cheap.

Fortunately, she had previously gone to print brochures for the Three Norths Project and was familiar with the people at the printing factory. Therefore, she was able to get a preferential price when printing things and save a lot of money.

Shen Huanxi printed flyers.

At this time in her previous life, she was doing raw coal processing business. In this life, she didn't want to do this business anymore which required her to sacrifice her time with Chang'an and Changning, so she had to think of other ways to make money.

She couldn't think of any other suitable way to make money for the time being. Coincidentally, the stamp market is still a booming market, so she decided to continue making stamps for the time being.

Even though her stamp speculation would not bring in enough money, she could not sell the commemorative tickets for the 10th National Congress of the Chinese Trade Unions, which she had in stock.

But as long as this market is still a rising market, she can still make money in this line of work. But she has to change her approach and can't just rely on speculation to make money.

She has thought a lot these days, and the things she can think of are stamp consignment and stamp recycling business.

Last time she went to sell stamps at the post office, it started to rain, didn’t it? She had to close her stall because of the rain, and so did the other vendors.

Therefore, it is possible that a shop that is sheltered from the wind and rain is better for stamp speculation, but not every stamp speculator has the financial conditions to rent a shop. In this case, there should be people who need the stamp consignment service.

And no matter what era it is, no matter what is collected, there will always be some people who consume irrationally and hoard a lot of goods, which affects their normal life and capital chain. In order to make money, these people will need to sell their collections.

In his previous life, Shen Huanxi had often seen some kids who had collected figures, Hanfu, and Lolita skirts by borrowing money to sell their items at low prices on Xianyu in order to recoup their losses.

There are also some adults who collect antique calligraphy and paintings, handicrafts, gemstones and jades and sell their collections at low prices in order to recover funds.

Generally speaking, the more developed an industry is, the more people will enter the industry, the more situations and people will engage in impulse consumption and need to make up for their losses, and Shen Huanxi will also be able to do business with these people.

Her advertising leaflet detailed the two businesses of stamp consignment and stamp recycling.

She printed out 500 flyers, and when she came back she asked Zhang Guifen and Xiao Shanhe to help her distribute them on the streets, especially at the post offices.

After school, the four children volunteered to help her distribute flyers.

Before long, word spread that she could send and receive stamps, and could also recycle stamps.

Carpenter Li worked quickly and finished the plaque for her the next day. Shen Huanxi asked them to help hang the plaque directly. She also went to buy two large pieces of tabletop glass and brought them to the store to place on the two tables.

There are a lot of stamps placed under the glass, just like under the glass of the post office counter. Since we are in the stamp business, we have to create an atmosphere.

Now is the time when the stamp market is booming, so Shen Huanxi doesn't need to print so many flyers. 500 are enough. After distributing all 500 flyers, she asked Zhang Guifen to come to her store to clean.

Zhang Guifen said that people who open shops have to find someone who understands Feng Shui to help choose an auspicious date. Shen Huanxi thought it was too troublesome, so she didn't do it. After the signboards and shelves were set up, she just bought two strings of firecrackers and set them off, and that was considered the opening of the shop.

She might change her store at any time. If she follows what Zhang Guifen said, she would have to hold an opening ceremony every time she changes her business. That would be too much trouble. She might as well not do it. Besides, even though her work at the Sanbei Command is much less stressful now, she still doesn't need to go to the office at all. She doesn't have that much time.

Even when she was setting off firecrackers to mark the opening, she didn't allow Xiao Shanhe and the children to come. Zhang Guifen said she was too hasty, but there was nothing she could do about it.

After setting off the firecrackers, Wang Mudan, who hadn’t been seen for two days, came over again.

"Xiao Shen, you really listened to me and put up the sign. That's good, but why did you only listen to half of it? Didn't I tell you to write clearly on the sign what your store does? Why didn't you listen to me? Do you really want to do business like this?"

"Sister Wang, you really are meddling too much. Wasn't your purpose in asking me to make a good sign so that our two stores would be more noticeable next to each other? Now I have made a good sign, haven't I? And you still want to meddle with it.

To put it bluntly, my decision to put up this sign has nothing to do with what you said, so why should I listen to you? But since I have put up this sign, your previous goal of attracting attention has been achieved, so whether my store is doing well or not, whether people come here or not, is none of your business." Shen Huanxi said while wiping the table.

Wang Mudan was still unhappy.

"I'm just reminding you kindly. People may think I'm meddling in other people's business. I can't say anything to them, but you can't say that because I'm doing this for your own good and for both of us to win. Your sign is already eye-catching, so why can't you write it more clearly to increase its popularity? If you can let people know at a glance what your store does, it will attract more people to come, and it won't do you any harm. It's really bad of you not to listen to me."

"Sister Wang, do you have any longevity paintings here?" asked a woman in her thirties outside.

"If there is one, I'll find it for you. Come in." Wang Mudan replied and no longer paid attention to Shen Huanxi.

Zhang Guifen frowned.

"Huanxi, I forgot to tell you that Wang Mudan next door is not easy to get along with. Didn't Junjun's mother do business in this shop before? Wang Mudan often came to ask her to make a sign, and urged her for at least half a year. Junjun's mother couldn't come up with the money, and their family needed to spend a lot of money.

Wang Mudan still didn't give up after she found out. She kept urging Junjun's mother to do a good job of the signboard, saying that if Junjun's mother made a good sign, the business would definitely be better. Junjun's mother avoided her whenever she saw her. She was just too controlling. If it really didn't work, if you find it annoying, then don't do business here. I have another shop anyway, you can go there."

"Why?" Shen Huanxi was not happy. "Because she likes to meddle in other people's business and wants to interfere with my shop, should I move out? I won't listen to her, what can she do to me?"

"She can't do anything to you, but if she comes to see you every now and then like she did before, it will affect your mood. How about this, I will help you look after the store from now on, and if she dares to come over and say anything again, I will help you scold her back." Zhang Guifen said angrily.

She had thought that Wang Mudan was annoying before, but since it was Junjun's mother that was annoying, she couldn't do anything about it. But now Wang Mudan is annoying her daughter-in-law, so she can't just ignore it.

Shen Huanxi smiled and shook his head.

"It's okay, mom. Don't quarrel with her. Harmony brings wealth. If I really quarrel with her, it will be awkward to do business with her in the future. You don't need to worry about it. I don't think Wang Mudan is a bad person. She may just have such an obsession. When she first came, she wanted to drive me home. She shouldn't be a bad person."

"How can there be so many bad people in the world? But you can't say that just because people aren't bad, you have to give in to them."

"I didn't give in to her. When she came to see me just now, did you see me being polite to her? I'm not the kind of person who will be bullied. I just think she's not a bad person.

Okay, mom, you've helped me a lot here, why don't you go back and buy some food and cook? I still have some things to do in the store, so I'm afraid I don't have time to cook. And we haven't bought any food today, so go back and buy some food. I'm sorry to have worked hard for you today."

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Zhang Guifen looked at the wall clock hung on the wall by Shen Huanxi, and had to go home to cook.

When she left the store, she snorted at Wang Mudan's shop.

After Wang Mudan finished entertaining her customer, she ran to Shen Huanxi's store.

"Xiao Shen, I haven't finished what I just said. Listen to me, you really can't do business like this. Did you see the customer who came to my store just now? She was a rich man. It was her father-in-law's birthday, so she bought a very expensive longevity painting.

Nowadays, ordinary people have finally managed to have enough food to eat, and how many of them have the artistic talent to decorate their homes? Those who can afford to buy paintings for decoration are rich people with purchasing power.

You said that the people who come to my store are all rich people. When they pass by your store, can they not come to spend some money? In the past, many customers in Junjun's mother's store were customers of my store. I let her take advantage of me for so long, and I have always felt uncomfortable. You don't seem like someone who likes to take advantage of others.

Anyway, you will definitely benefit from my fame, just like Junjun's mother, so won't you feel guilty? Just make a sign and tell people what you do, it's not a big deal. Just tell me, I've been to your store so many times, but I still don't know what you do."

"Now I'm in the stamp business." Shen Huanxi seemed to have not heard Wang Mudan's long speech before, and directly answered her last question, and handed her an advertisement, "Take a look for yourself."

Wang Mudan took one look at her advertisement and cried out in surprise.

"Isn't it clearly written in your flyer? Why can't you write it clearly on the sign? Even if you write 'Happy Stamp Shop' and add the word 'Stamp', it will be better than the current one. Don't blame me for being harsh. If you don't change the name of your store, you don't know when you will be able to have business. Are you so shameless that you want to keep taking advantage of me?"

After Wang Mudan finished speaking, she slammed the flyer that Shen Huanxi handed to her on Shen Huanxi's desk with a "snap" sound, very unhappy. When she saw the stamp under the glass on the table, she became even more unhappy.

"Even the tables in your store can tell that you are in the stamp business, but you don't write it clearly on the sign. Do you know how to do business? You are not like Junjun's mother who has no money and you can take advantage of me so comfortably. How difficult can it be to add two words?

You are taking advantage of me and owing me a favor, but you can't do business well and it's not good for you either. What do you want? We can both win. You don't have to rely on me, and you can make more money. Why not do it?"

"Sister Wang, I don't want to argue with you, but my store could..."

"Hello." Before Shen Huanxi could finish her words, a young man in his early twenties carrying a backpack walked in from outside and interrupted her.

"Hello." Shen Huanxi stood up.

"Excuse me, can you recycle stamps here?" the young man asked.

"Yes." While Shen Huanxi answered, he also secretly looked at the young man.

He was wearing a pair of Warrior shoes.

In this era, Warrior shoes are not cheap for many people. If young people can afford Warrior shoes, it means that their financial situation is not bad.

But his shoes were very worn out, with the glue coming off the toes, which showed that he had only once been financially well off.

"What kind of stamps do you want to sell?" Shen Huanxi asked.

"Xi...Xixiangji, will you accept it?" The young man's face turned slightly red, and he seemed quite embarrassed.

"Yes. How many do you have? Large quantities will get a better price."

"I have 28 copies, eight of "Surprise", five of "Holiday", five of "Listening to the Piano", and fifteen of "Long Pavilion". What is the current recycling price?"

"Five times the face value." Shen Huanxi answered calmly.

"What did you say?" The young man frowned slightly. "I just went to the booth near the post office and asked. The price at Xilangji has increased tenfold. How come the price you are offering here is only five times the face value?"

"I'm recycling it, and this is the price. Of course, we have a free trade here, and I won't force you to buy or sell. If you're willing to recycle it, you can sell it to me. If you don't want to, I won't force you. If you really can't, you can take it to the door of the post office and set up a stall. I won't force you."

"..." The young man was silent for a moment, and finally looked at Shen Huanxi and nodded.

"Okay, five times is five times." He said, opened his bag and took out a stamp album.

What Shen Huanxi saw was a stamp album with a very exquisite cover. It seemed that this young man was also a stamp collector. No one knew why he needed money so urgently and needed to collect stamps.

His stamp album was empty and there were only a few stamps. He took out all the stamps from Xilangji and handed them to Shen Huanxi.

Shen Huanxi counted the money, calculated it and handed it to him. The young man took the money and left quickly.

As soon as he walked out, a father came in with a little girl of four or five years old.

"Hello, comrade. Are you selling stamps here?" the man asked as he came in.

Shen Huanxi nodded.

"Yes, comrade. What stamps would you like to consign?"

The man shook his head.

"I'm not here to consign stamps. I heard that you also have stamps for consignment, so I wanted to come and buy some."

"Ah..." Shen Huanxi was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the person who wanted to buy stamps would come to her so quickly. She thought the first person who came was to make some money or to consign stamps.

So she was not surprised when the young man came in and said he wanted to sell stamps, but she was a little surprised when the father brought his daughter to buy stamps.

"Aren't there a lot of stalls selling stamps at the post office? Why didn't you buy some there?" Shen Huanxi asked.

"Isn't it raining? There are not many stalls. You sell stamps here, so there should be more varieties and more to choose from. My wife went to the stall near the entrance of the post office yesterday to buy a "Gui Hai Year" stamp for my daughter, but they didn't have it. I think you should have it here."

After listening to him, Shen Huanxi smiled a little embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any here. My store has just opened and I haven't received any business yet. I don't know when the first boss who comes to me for consignment will come. If you want to buy stamps, you can wait a while before coming back. Right now, we only have the commemorative tickets for the 10th National Congress of the Chinese Trade Unions and a few tickets from Xilangji."

"Dad, I want tickets for West Chamber. My neighbor Xinxin has tickets for West Chamber, but I don't have any. I've seen Xinxin's tickets for West Chamber. Both "Holiday" and "Glamorous" are so good. The sisters in the movies wear clothes like fairies. I want them, Dad." The little girl tugged at the man's clothes and begged.

Shen Huanxi quickly took out all the tickets for The Western Chamber that the young man had just sold, and specially picked out "Holiday" and "Amazing".

"Little boy, are these the two tickets you want? The price of these two tickets here is eight times the face value. If you want to buy them, you can buy them from me. You can go to the stamp booth in front of the post office and ask. The current market price of West Chamber stamps is ten times the face value. It is still more affordable to buy them from me."

"Okay, I'll ask you for a set of tickets for The West Chamber. I want all four. Not just "Holiday" and "Amazing", I also want "Listening to the Piano" and "Changting"." The man said immediately after hearing what Shen Huanxi said.

"Okay, the tickets are all here, just pick one each, the total is 8.48 yuan, I'll round off the zero and make it 8 yuan."

"Okay!" When the man heard the favorable price and Shen Huanxi rounded off the difference for him, he immediately took out 8 yuan and bought a set of tickets to the Xixiangji restaurant from Shen Huanxi.

Wang Mudan was dumbfounded watching from the side. The West Chamber ticket that Shen Huanxi could have bought back at 5 times the face value was sold at 8 times the price in the blink of an eye. The whole process took less than 5 minutes and there was no cost at all. Is this business so easy to do?

After the man took his daughter out, two young girls in their early 20s came in.

"Ladies, are you here to buy stamps or to consign stamps?" Shen Huanxi greeted them.

"We are here to sell stamps. Are you recycling stamps here?" asked the taller girl.

Shen Huanxi nodded.

"What stamps do you have? Which ones do you want to sell?"

"We have tickets for the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, Peking Opera female role tickets, and family planning tickets. Comrade, what is the price of these tickets?"

"The recycling prices of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum and Peking Opera female roles are five times the face value. The family planning ticket was just released not long ago, and the current recycling price is twice the face value."

"Okay, comrade, please help us calculate the amount of these." The shorter girl put a small bag of stamps on Shen Huanxi's desk.

Shen Huanxi looked at her small bag of stamps, estimating there were about fifty or sixty of them. She suppressed her excitement and counted the stamps and calculated the money. After comparing the two girls' stamps, she gave each of them an extra dollar.

"You are selling in large quantities, so I'll give you a preferential price. I'll give you one dollar at most. But you two just need to keep this a secret. Don't tell anyone outside when you go out. And if you have any stamps you want to recycle, you can come to me anytime." Shen Huanxi said.

She also wants her store to dominate the market as soon as possible.

It was like she was in the stamp speculation business. She was almost the first person in Yunnan City to do this, so she made her first fortune quickly. But soon more and more people followed suit, and stamp speculation became increasingly difficult.

The same principle applies to stamp recycling. If she can make money, others will surely follow her lead soon. So she made a plan: in the future, she would do a favor for anyone who came to her to sell stamps. Then, when they have stamps in the future, they will bring them to her to sell instead of going to those who followed her lead to recycle stamps.

Don't underestimate those who sell stamps to make ends meet. The fact that they need to sell stamps to make ends meet shows that they are people who tend to make impulse purchases, otherwise they wouldn't hoard so many stamps. So if they hoard stamps for the first time, they may do so a second and third time.

Similarly, if they need to recover their losses once, there may be a second and third time, and these are all potential customers for Shen Huanxi.

The two girls were so happy when they heard Shen Huanxi say he would give them one more dollar.

"Okay comrade, thank you. From now on, if we need to recycle our travel tickets, we will come to you first. If our friends also need to buy stamps, we will introduce them here." said the taller girl.

Shen Huanxi smiled and nodded to them.

"Okay, but you have to tell your friends for me. I will give a higher price to the people you introduced, but not to others. Don't tell others, otherwise it will be difficult for me to do business."

"OK."

"And if your friends need to buy stamps, you can also introduce them to me. I don't just recycle stamps here, I also sell stamps on consignment. You can come to me to ask for any stamps you want. Even if I don't have them here, I can remember them for you and contact the boss who does."

"OK."

The two girls nodded and happily left with the money from selling the stamps.

Not long after they left, more people came in. There were even more of them, seven or eight people in total, and they did not come together. Some came to sell stamps, and some came to buy stamps.

The stamp seller, Shen Huanxi
