Chapter 59 [59] Meeting Mr. Shen Again
There were not many people on the train to Shanghai this time.
It was Qian Tingting's first time riding a train. The scenery outside the window kept flashing by, including large tracts of farmland and houses. This was a perspective she had never seen before, and it was very fresh.
She leaned against the window and looked out.
Doing business is really fun.
A day and a night passed like this. The train arrived at the station and everyone got off. Qian Tingting stared with wide eyes.
The buildings in Shanghai are surprisingly so tall.
The bus was even more crowded, so Tang Yuanyuan decided to take a taxi.
Qian Tingting had never seen so many vehicles.
So many people.
No wonder everyone wants to come to Shanghai to work.
Tang Yuanyuan taught her, "This place is more prosperous and wealthy than Yucheng. Their vision and concepts are more advanced than Yucheng's. When they sell goods, they're selling an opportunity and a concept."
"If there are things in Shanghai that aren't available in Yucheng yet, I can bring them back and sell them to make money."
Qian Tingting: "It sounds simple. Just take the goods and sell them."
Tang Yuanyuan smiled: "Yes, it's actually very simple."
As she spoke, she saw brightly colored cardboard boxes and flower baskets on the roadside of the wholesale market, filled with fruits. These baskets were covered with a layer of plastic paper, and it seemed that they were selling fruits.
When Tang Yuanyuan walked over, the boss greeted her with a smile: "Would you like to buy some fruit as a gift?"
"This kind of packaged fruit is more prestigious to give away. It's filled with good fruit. Look, there are apples, pears, and this is a kumquat. It's different from ordinary oranges. This one is very fragrant. It's all fresh fruit."
Tang Yuanyuan asked, "How much is a box?"
The other party raised three fingers and said, "Sixteen per box. If you take ten boxes or more, fifteen per box. This kind of fruit basket is eighteen, and it looks even better as a gift. If you take ten boxes or more, seventeen per basket."
Tang Yuanyuan walked several steps away from the stall.
Ask Qian Tingting: "What do you think?"
Qian Tingting was puzzled: "What's going on?"
Li Mu: "I just said she's not cut out for business."
Tang Yuanyuan: "I'm asking you, what do you think of that fruit stand?"
Qian Tingting was in a dilemma: "Fruit stall, what's wrong?"
Li Mu: "I think you are looking for trouble."
Tang Yuanyuan kicked at him angrily, but Li Mu dodged to the side and said with a look of amusement: "I'll go get the goods."
Tang Yuanyuan repeated, "I'm asking you, is the fruit expensive if it's sold that way?"
Qian Tingting: "It's too expensive!"
Tang Yuanyuan: "...That's it. Tell me more, why is it so expensive? What makes it so expensive?"
Qian Tingting thought for a moment: "Apples are 70 cents a pound, pears are 50 cents a pound, and as for oranges, you can buy a net bag for three yuan, which is even less valuable. Those fruits are worth six or seven yuan at most, but they are only selling for 15 yuan. There is even less fruit in the fruit basket. It's too expensive. The owner is so ruthless."
“Only a fool would buy it.”
Tang Yuanyuan: "Then look back."
A fat man with a briefcase in his hand handed over a hundred-yuan note, a fifty-yuan note, and a twenty-yuan note. Xiaofan brought him ten fruit baskets and moved them to his trunk.
Qian Tingting: “…”
Tang Yuanyuan: "Do you think that boss is a fool?"
The boss wore a big gold chain around his neck, had shiny leather shoes, his hair was combed meticulously with mousse, and he also had a car. He looked like a wealthy businessman. Even the millionaires in their village didn't look so glamorous. Qian Tingting's face turned red and she hunched her hands and feet nervously.
Tang Yuanyuan: "Don't be nervous. I'm not blaming you for making a mistake. I'm trying to teach you how to do business."
Qian Tingting relaxed a little.
Tang Yuanyuan patiently said, "What you just said is actually the normal thinking of most people. Fruits are obviously only a few cents per pound. Those fruits are not worth it at all. They are really expensive. If I were to buy them, I would go to the fruit stall and weigh them myself. Is that what you think?"
After hearing her thoughts being repeated, Qian Tingting felt more relaxed and nodded.
Tang Yuanyuan: "So, most people can't do business. Only those who do business can make money."
Qian Tingting was nervous again: "I'm sorry, am I too stupid? If you don't want me to, I will study hard."
Tang Yuanyuan made her laugh: "I've already spent all your salary on you in advance, why don't I want you?"
"I just told you this because I wanted to tell you that sometimes people fail to do business and make money because they have trapped themselves."
"You have to be a qualified businessman. Next time, put yourself in the business side. If you were the vendor just now, how would you feel?"
Qian Tingting brought in herself to sell apples and earn money from electronic watches: "It should be very happy."
Tang Yuanyuan: "That's right. Ordinary people think that if they don't buy, they're limiting their own path to wealth. You should think, if he can do it, so can I. Go see where you can buy cardboard boxes, where to buy fruit cheaply, and where to set up a stall."
"You also need to analyze your target customers. Ordinary people, when they visit relatives, are all about value. They want to spend the least amount of money and buy some affordable gifts. But business people are different. They pay more attention to beautiful gifts. They want to make the gift look good and make the recipient happy."
"They don't want to save money, they want high-end."
"If you can see through it, it's a business opportunity. If you can't, you won't be able to make this money. Shanghainese people are at the forefront of the country in terms of how they dress and what they say and do. They are all business opportunities. You have to observe carefully."
Qian Tingting nodded her head vigorously: "I understand."
It's the end of the year, and the wholesale market is crowded with people buying goods. Tang Yuanyuan doesn't walk fast, but keeps an eye on the goods along the way to see if there are any new arrivals.
Qian Tingting is curious about everything. She has never seen anything like it before and gets excited about everything she sees.
"Electronic watch!"
"Um, is that the electronic watch you asked us to sell?"
"Want to pick up the goods?"
Tang Yuanyuan shook her head. "Digital watches are too cheap and the quality isn't good. Adults won't use them. It's winter vacation now, and no one would buy them if I took them home. Besides, many people at school already have them."
Qian Tingting was anxious: "Ah? Then what should I sell?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Chinese New Year is coming soon, so of course we need to buy some items suitable for the New Year."
The Chinese New Year is a time when the whole country spends money. From food and clothing to gifts, all of them are considerable expenses. Even children can get a few dollars as New Year's money to buy firecrackers. There are countless things that can be sold.
There are people with a keen sense of smell in every era. Obviously, many people have opened up new ideas. Every stall that sells broken stocks is crowded with people, and it is almost impossible to tell what products are being sold.
In this era, cosmetics are still relatively unpopular, so there are more people at the stall than usual, but not as many as other stalls.
Now that Qian Tingting was helping him carry the goods, Tang Yuanyuan ordered twice the quantity than usual. He quickly picked out the goods he wanted and was about to pack them up. The proprietress called her son, but he didn't move.
The boy looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. He was sitting on a bench, holding a small square metal box in his hand. There were black things stuffed in both ears. There were black wires connected to both ends of the things. No one knew what they were.
The boss lady was so angry that she pulled the things out of the child's ears and said, "You kid, I asked you to come here to help, but you just wear headphones and listen to music all day long. Believe it or not, I will throw this Walkman of yours away!"
"I know, I know."
"I'll keep it for you. Listen to it after you finish your work."
The little boy took off his headphones impatiently and pressed a button. The thing bounced back and stopped spinning.
Tang Yuanyuan noticed that the thing running inside this machine seemed to be a magnetic tape.
Seeing the boss lady was about to put it in the drawer, she hurriedly asked: "Boss lady, what is this? Can I play music with it?"
Tang Yuanyuan was a major customer, and the proprietress was originally in a hurry to load the goods, but when she heard Tang Yuanyuan's question, she had no choice but to take it out and chat for a while: "This is called a Walkman. I bought it at Wing On Department Store. It's Japanese. It's very expensive. It's all because of this prodigal son. He wastes money all day long."
The little boy had just bought this Walkman three days ago. It's still new to him, and his desire to share is at its peak: "This is great for listening to music. I can carry it with me and listen wherever I go. It's very convenient. It's made in Japan, and the workmanship is good. The sound quality is pleasant to listen to."
Tang Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Boss lady, can you let me hear it?"
The proprietress pressed a button and handed over two earphones. Tang Yuanyuan put one in her ear and gave the other to Qian Tingting.
It was Jacky Cheung's "Spark of Love", with its beautiful melody and unique magnetic voice that rang in my eardrums, shocking me to the point of making my entire scalp tingle.
Tang Yuanyuan: "It's really good."
The little boy was happy: "Yeah!"
The proprietress snorted coldly, "3500 per piece, how dare you say that?"
She complained to Tang Yuanyuan again: "This kid is such a spendthrift. He spent 3,500 yuan on such a small thing. There are cheaper ones for 1,400 yuan, but he insisted on getting this expensive one."
He spoke with disdain, but his eyes were clearly crooked, and there was no sign of disdain at all.
Tang Yuanyuan and Qian Tingting each carried a large sack.
Tang Yuanyuan: "Is it very heavy?"
Qian Tingting smiled and shook her head. "It's not heavy. When I was at home, I could carry 200 kilograms of corn cobs at most. For example, I could carry a whole load of wood stalks at a time."
Tang Yuanyuan smiled: "As long as you don't mind the hard work of getting the goods."
Qian Tingting: "I think it's really fun."
As usual, Li Mu got the goods before Tang Yuanyuan and waited in front of the agreed store for a while.
There was a nice hotel opposite the market, and the three men walked over with their goods.
It gets dark early in winter, and now it's getting dark. In the transparent hair salon, there are girls wearing clear clothes, with their thighs and limbs showing, and they are blowing cigarettes from their mouths. Men passing by will stare at them intently.
Qian Tingting tugged at Tang Yuanyuan's sleeve: "That's the shampoo girl, right?"
Tang Yuanyuan nodded.
Qian Tingting's face turned pale and she quickened her pace.
The price has increased during the Chinese New Year, from 60 yuan to 90 yuan.
Qian Tingting swallowed!
There were three people and they booked two rooms. Tang Yuanyuan and Qian Tingting stayed in one room, and Li Mu stayed in another room by himself.
Qian Tingting couldn't bear to watch it anymore. The houses here not only had floors, but also a layer of soft cloth on the ground. Tang Yuanyuan said it was called a carpet.
The walls of their bathroom were covered with flooring, and the toilet was made of glass. You could also take a shower. The shower tool was not a bucket, but something she had never seen before. It looked a bit like the head of a sunflower, and the water that came out was like rain, pouring down from above her head.
Sitting by the window, you can see many lights, shining like stars in the sky.
Qian Tingting couldn't help but sigh: "Big cities are great."
Tang Yuanyuan: "Yes, here you can even make money by giving directions, so I decided to go to university in Shanghai."
Qian Tingting: "Then I will also apply to a university in Shanghai."
Tang Yuanyuan called Yu Fangfang from the hotel phone. "There's this thing called a Walkman. It's a radio the size of your palm. You can put it in your pocket and listen to music wherever you go. But it's very expensive. Do you want one? There are three thousand yuan ones, and even five thousand yuan ones."
Yu Fangfang peeled the phone cord: "That sounds great. I want it! I want the 5,000 one."
Tang Yuanyuan: "Can you decide? That's five thousand yuan."
Yu Fangfang: "Of course, my dad's mobile phone costs tens of thousands, why can't his daughter use a Walkman that costs 5,000?"
Tang Yuanyuan called several wealthy customers in the store and after a round of calls, she placed orders for three items worth 3,000 yuan and one item worth 5,000 yuan.
Qian Fangfang: "Your Walkman cost three thousand, and you want to sell it to Qian Fangfang for five thousand?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Are you wondering, we're classmates, and I actually gave her 5,000 yuan?"
Qian Fangfang shook her head: "No."
Tang Yuanyuan: "Don't deny it, I know you think so."
"Think about what I told you this afternoon."
"My big customers all know that I have to pay extra for bringing my goods back from Shanghai. If I don't do business to make money, why would I come here during the New Year? However, don't specifically tell Yu Fangfang about the bottom price, and don't tell anyone else."
"My classmates are still children. They can't understand this kind of business thinking. From now on, whether you run your own business or work for me, don't tell anyone about the bottom price."
Qian Fangfang nodded, not quite understanding: "I understand."
The next morning, Tang Yuanyuan took Qian Tingting in a taxi to Wing On Department Store to pick up goods. They went to look for the Walkman first, and sure enough, they found it in a store next door.
In a big city like Shanghai, no matter how expensive the items are, there is no shortage of customers, and the store is quite full of customers.
Tang Yuanyuan was wearing tattered clothes and didn't look like she was here to buy a Walkman. She looked like she was here to listen to music for free, so naturally, no one paid any attention to her.
"Sir, would you like to see the Walkman?"
"Ma'am, which Walkman would you like to try?"
The first sentence was said by the man who was taking care of her.
The last sentence was addressed to the lady behind.
Tang Yuanyuan waved her hand: "I'm here. I want to buy a Walkman too."
The waiter said, "Sorry, ma'am, you can't try our Walkman unless you buy it."
"Then don't regret it," Tang Yuanyuan pointed at the salesperson next to her, "I want ten Walkmans. I'm issuing invoices now."
“…”
The girl was shocked. "Well, do you want to try out which model first? Each one has a different price."
"Try each one for me."
Tang Yuanyuan ordered five units priced at 1,400 yuan, three units priced at 2,700 yuan, and two units priced at 3,500 yuan.
However, there is not enough supply.
"Sorry, ma'am, the last T515 has been sold. How about you take the T115? It's only 2700."
Tang Yuanyuan pointed at the girl behind her and said, "I don't have one, so why does she have one behind me? Don't you guys sell things on a first-come, first-served basis? Or are you, uh, discriminating against me because I'm from out of town?"
Tang Yuanyuan recognized that this girl was the one who wanted to have coffee with Mr. Chen in the rhinestone shop when they were purchasing goods last time.
"You're a country bumpkin from out of town, aren't you?" the long-haired girl said, brushing her hair. "When you buy things, it's normal for you to buy after us locals."
"Cashier, please give me the goods."
Tang Yuanyuan stared at the salesperson: "Are you really going to do this?"
The salesperson didn't dare look at Tang Yuanyuan: "Excuse me, ma'am."
Tang Yuanyuan didn't count on her anymore. She stretched out her hand and snatched the girl's receipt directly: "I've already paid, ma'am, you're robbing me. You claim to be from Shanghai, but you're snatching the goods from a poor person like me. It's really funny. Of course, if you really want it, then I'll give it to you."
The girl blushed, "Who wants your things? I don't want your stinky stuff."
Tang Yuanyuan tore up her list and said, "Okay, she doesn't want it now, give it to me."
Salesperson: “…”
The girl's face turned red, but she couldn't refute it, so she could only stomp her feet and say "you you you".
Then, she suddenly showed up with a tall figure, and through the shop door, Zhuo Yue's aura was overwhelmingly superior to those around her.
She ran out with tears in her eyes, "Mr. Shen."
The man paused, his eyes fixed on the girl who suddenly rushed out: "Ms. Lin, what's wrong?"
"I heard there are walkmans imported from Japan now. I wanted to buy the best one for you, but that country bumpkin bullied me and stole my goods. She took advantage of me last time and got a 20% discount, but now she's bullying me again."
"Mr. Shen, you have to make the decision for me."
"This mall belongs to your family. Talk to the boss and tell him not to sell goods to country bumpkins. Such country bumpkins shouldn't be allowed into such a high-end mall."
The man turned around and saw that Tang Yuanyuan was wearing the most ordinary flowered cotton jacket, her hair was tied in a simple ponytail, and her eyes were bright.
It's cold too.
Looking at him coldly.
Qian Tingting bravely said, "That's not the case. It was Yuanyuan who paid first. She even laughed at us and said we were country bumpkins. She was bullying us."
Mr. Shen twirled the collar on his middle finger. "Ms. Lin, my grandmother told me that you are very kind and generous. You often feed the stray cats in the community and do charity work every year, donating clothes and money to children in the mountainous areas."
"What this little girl said is probably not right, right?"
Qian Tingting's face flushed with anxiety: "I'm not lying. There are so many people here. If you don't believe me, you can ask."
The beautiful and gentle Miss Lin said: "Mr. Shen, you are right. How could I possibly argue with such a person? Forget it, I will give the goods to her. Are you free? I will buy you a coffee."
Mr. Shen: "Okay."
Miss Lin followed Mr. Shen.
Qian Tingting bit her lip, feeling unhappy. What kind of person is this?
Tang Yuanyuan took the returned money, took the walkie-talkie and went out, with no expression on her face, and continued to pick up the goods.
Qian Tingting: "Yuanyuan, don't be upset. That kind of person is so mean and he even lied."
Tang Yuanyuan: "You've already said that she's not a good person, so why should I care about what she says?"
Qian Tingting: "Ah? You're not angry?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "I'm busy making money and don't have time to get angry at insignificant people."
Tang Yuanyuan went to buy high-end cosmetics. Crystal clips seemed to be losing popularity in the store. Customers might still think that gold was more affordable and Yucheng was still too small, so she only bought ten this time.
The store manager smiled and said, "You're really lucky today. Our General Manager Xiao Shen just came to inspect the store and asked us to do a New Year's promotion with 20% off everything."
These ten pieces from Tang Yuanyuan cost more than 6,000 yuan, which saves more than 1,000 yuan.
The last time they purchased goods was during the National Day holiday, and the perfumes in the store had long been sold out, so Tang Yuanyuan went to buy a large amount of high-end perfumes.
After buying the goods, I went back to the hotel, but Li Mu had not come back yet. He didn't come back until after eight o'clock in the evening and brought back bad news. The only train tickets back home were for New Year's Eve.
That means they have to stay here for another six or seven days.
After purchasing clothes, they came to Shanghai to purchase goods. Tang Yuanyuan and Li Mu’s money was all tied up in the goods.
Li Mu: "I only have 260 left. How much do you have left?"
Tang Yuanyuan pinched her brows. She was careless. When she came here, she saw that there were not many people on the train, but she did not think that most of the people in Shanghai were from other places. At this time, she was nervous about getting a ticket to Shanghai. "My situation is better than yours."
Li Mu touched his heart with relief: "Fortunately, you can still afford the accommodation fee."
Tang Yuanyuan: "I have 30 yuan more than you."
Their accommodation fee is 180 yuan a day. It is impossible for them to stay in a small hotel with such valuable goods. This does not include three meals a day. Now the buses in Shanghai are not crowded at all. They have to take taxis to go anywhere. During the Chinese New Year, taxis also charge extra fees. It costs ten or twenty yuan to go anywhere.
Li Mu: "Dead, dead!"
"I'm doomed this time. Do I have to live on the street?"
Qian Tingting was also worried: "Then what should we do?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "What are you afraid of? Let's make money in the Shanghai Stock Exchange tomorrow."
At dawn, when Qian Tingting was woken up, Tang Yuanyuan was already using a rubber band to tie her ponytail. She quickly lifted the quilt and got up to wash.
"Shouldn't we really move to a cheaper place?"
Tang Yuanyuan put on her socks and said, "No, these goods are worth my wealth, which is not comparable to the rent."
The two of them packed up and went out, and Li Mu also came out.
After passing the front desk, the two of them took out another two hundred yuan and renewed the room fee for today. Qian Tingting felt heartbroken when she saw this.
Now, the two of them had barely three hundred yuan in total.
I bought three pancakes for breakfast. It was still dark and cold in winter. Fortunately, there were not many people on the bus and there were still seats.
After changing buses for three stops, we arrived at the fruit wholesale market, where there were boxes of fruit, as well as those beautiful cardboard boxes, and fruit baskets were sold individually.
Tang Yuanyuan did some calculations and found that the fruits they bought in boxes were not very fresh and were more expensive, so she bought the fruits individually and had them packed in cardboard boxes and fruit baskets.
Three hundred yuan, only enough for the bus fare.
Qian Tingting's heart was trembling. Is it really true that she won't have anything to eat today?
But Li Mu gave Tang Yuanyuan the last dollar without saying a word of doubt, and Tang Yuanyuan was busy carrying the fruits, so she had no choice but to do as he said and carry three baskets of fruits.
At this time, the sky was just beginning to brighten, and there were obviously more people on the bus, but fortunately it was not to the point where there was no room.
However, the driver's face was obviously not very good, and he said, "Get off, it's not allowed to carry goods on the bus."
Li Mu had a stern face, looking like someone who was not to be trifled with. “Who do you think you are? If you say you can’t bring the goods, then you can’t bring the goods.”
Driver: “This is the company’s policy.”
Li Mu: "What company rules are there? I didn't see any of them. Just drive your car. You're just a lousy driver, why are you meddling in other people's business?"
The driver has seen people who break the rules, but he has never seen anyone who breaks the rules so shamelessly!
"How can you talk like that?"
Tang Yuanyuan had already put in the coin and hurriedly stopped the driver: "Sorry, he just has a bad temper. We will get off soon. We won't do it next time."
Li Mu looked like someone who was not easy to mess with. He looked fierce and could kick him at any time. The driver didn't want to cause trouble either. Tang Yuanyuan stopped him and gave him a way out, so he let it go.
Li Mu stacked 9 boxes of fruit together, and they didn't take up much space.
The Shanghai Stock Exchange is too big, and Tang Yuanyuan has limited information about it, but she is very sure that the street vendors must be the ones who understand the business opportunities in this city best.
Tang Yuanyuan saw more than a dozen gift boxes placed on a road. Behind them were high-end residences and opposite were tall office buildings of companies. Tang Yuanyuan remembered that there were many companies here, and that Mr. Shen's import company was also here. She immediately took Li Mu and Qian Tingting out of the car.
They picked a spot at the tail end. Just as they put down their fruit, the couple from the stall next door, relying on the man's sturdiness, came to chase them away: "Hey, what are you doing! You are not allowed to set up stalls here. This is my territory."
This kind of person just wants to drive others out by force and doesn't want to have more competitors. Tang Yuanyuan felt that he must have come to the right place.
She said directly: "Li Mu, go up and do it."
She herself simply tore open the box and started working.
Li Mu didn't waste any words with the man. He clenched his fist and punched the man in the nose.
Qian Tingting's eyes widened, her heart pounding. "Shouldn't we just ignore Li Mu? Is there a fight?"
How can this happen? You hit people without even communicating.
It's normal for people who set up stalls here not to want competition. If you talk to them nicely, maybe they will agree.
Tang Yuanyuan had already put the first box together. Without even looking up, she said, "I know what you're thinking. Fighting is bad after all. Harmony brings wealth."
"We are new here, and we will probably steal their business. It's normal for them to be unhappy."
"Qian Tingting, we are penniless right now. This concerns my accommodation tomorrow and the ownership of the goods. I can't think so much about others. I won't allow myself to fail."
"There are thirteen people selling gift boxes here. If we're easygoing, the others will come up and chase us away. Once their goals converge, it will be difficult for us to set up shop. Only by letting everyone here know that we're not easy to mess with will others think twice about coming up to help."
"Look, others are watching and evaluating. Do you understand?"
Qian Tingting: "Should I go help Li Mu?"
At this moment, Li Mu was also punched in the face. Tang Yuanyuan said, "Go and smash the apples from that store. Actually, be a little more aggressive and disguise yourself as a fierce shrew."
"immediately."
Qian Tingting thought about how her grandmother quarreled with someone, clenched her fists, and walked towards the other party's fruit stall with big strides. The woman thought Qian Tingting came to quarrel and had already stood up.
As a result, Qian Tingting bent down, picked up the large apples and pears she had been displaying, and threw them to the ground. Then she hugged the whole box. The woman was already heartbroken. These fruits were all worth money. The moment she hugged the box, her heart trembled: "What are you doing? Let's talk it over!"
Over there, the man immediately stopped fighting with Li Mu. His nose was bleeding and his eyes were swollen. He looked very scary.
The fruit fell, and I felt more distressed than when he was beaten: "Do you have any sense of reason? Why did you smash my things and hit me?"
The woman was already afraid of Qian Tingting and her gang: "If you have something to say, please talk it over nicely. Don't fight, and don't throw things."
Tang Yuanyuan straightened his knees from his half-squatting position and stood up from the ground. He picked up the small fruit machete and patted it in his palm. His tone was slightly cold and his eyes were hard. "There was no conflict in the first place. There were three of us. We bought these fruits and cartons. We came here to sell gift boxes. No one came to stop me from doing business, so naturally we didn't cause any trouble."
"But if you want to ruin my business, I won't be able to say anything."
They had almost lost a box of fruit just now. The woman didn't want to cause trouble. There were so many stalls here anyway. She immediately gave the man a fierce look and said, "Go back."
Then he said to Tang Yuanyuan in a friendly manner: "That's okay. My husband just said the wrong thing. You guys can sell it, sell it."
The other dozen or so stalls also lowered their heads and remained silent.
Li Mu's cheek also had a bruise. Tang Yuanyuan asked, "Are you okay?"
Li Mu: "I'm fine. I was just careless, so I got punched. That guy has panda eyes, and I got kicked in the stomach. Am I awesome?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Go back and practice more boxing and kicking, and try to be unscathed in the next fight."
Li Mu: "That's a must."
Qian Tingting couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips: "Tang Yuanyuan, you are really amazing."
Tang Yuanyuan only had one sentence: "Work."
The three people quickly disassembled the cartons, arranged the fruits, and loaded the fruit baskets. In about half an hour, the fruit boxes were basically packed.
Tang Yuanyuan didn't ask them to seal the boxes with tape for the time being. She planned to show the actual goods to people later, seal one box for each one sold, and then display them.
Their location is at the very end, and as soon as the traffic light at the office building intersection turns green, people there buy directly there.
Qian Tingting couldn't help but worry: "Our location seems a bit bad, can we sell it?"
Li Mu stared at Tang Yuanyuan: "It's up to you."
Tang Yuanyuan looked around at more than a dozen stalls and found that the locations were indeed bad.
She remembered the sack spread on the ground, pulled it out from the bottom of the box, untied the string at the other end, and put it directly on her body.
Li Mu: “So ugly!”
Qian Tingting didn't hide, she put it on herself, but she kept asking, "We have nice clothes, why do we need this?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "It's very attractive. From now on, we are three biological siblings in distress. My younger brother is mentally retarded. We came to Shanghai to work and earn money for his medical treatment."
"We are so poor! We are so poor that we have to wear sacks."
Qian Tingting: “Ah?” This seems like a lie.
Li Mu almost laughed out loud looking at the sack: "I object, but it could be used to treat my mentally retarded sister."
Tang Yuanyuan pointed at Qian Fangfang and asked, "Do you think she can play the role of the weak sister well?"
Li Mu puffed up his cheeks, snatched it away in annoyance and put it on.
The three people who were picking up the goods were all wearing tattered clothes, covered with torn sacks, which did not look out of place at all.
But the three of them have become a special landscape in themselves, the kind that is hard to ignore.
The man who came out of the office building was wearing glasses and a suit. He looked well-mannered. He saw three sacks at a glance.
It was so eye-catching that I took two extra steps after crossing the street.
"Hello, I'm a purchasing agent for Hecheng Law Firm in the office building. I'm looking to buy some New Year's goods for my employees, probably about twelve boxes. How do you handle this gift box?"
These days, the procurement of many formal companies is not yet so formal. Tang Yuanyuan understood it all at once. No wonder there are so many gift boxes here.
There are many companies in the office buildings. The white-collar workers here have high salaries and good benefits. When the company distributes New Year's goods, they may also want to give gifts to save them the trouble of running errands. They also like these packaged fruits.
If you come across a few purchasing orders from large companies, money will flow into your pocket like water.
Tang Yuanyuan said, "We sisters are hired by the boss to look after the stall. The boss said that if we buy more than ten cartons, we will pay fifteen. Is that okay?"
"Can it be cheaper? This is purchased by the company, and we need so much at once."
