Chapter 403 Fruitful Results
Wu Weiqian also put out his electronic watch and calculator, but these things were considered quite expensive in that era, so he only took out one of each.
"Everyone, don't miss it if you're passing by. These are the best electronic watches and calculators from Southern Province. They're cheap, good quality, convenient, and free of charge..."
"What is this for?" a young man in his twenties asked curiously.
"This electronic watch is used to tell time. It has the same function as a wristwatch, except that it doesn't have hands. Instead, you can use numbers. Look, it's ten minutes past five, and the Arabic numerals for ten minutes past five are displayed on it. You can see it clearly at a glance, and it doesn't need to be wound up, so you don't have to worry about the watch stopping if you forget to wind it up..." Wu Weiqian explained to him carefully while holding an electronic watch.
"I understand. How much is this thing?" The young man nodded, indicating that he understood.
"It's not expensive, only 30 yuan each, which is much cheaper than a mechanical watch." Wu Weiqian saw that the young man was very interested and promoted it with great enthusiasm.
"Can it be cheaper?" The young man fell in love with the electronic watch as soon as he saw it.
"I didn't quote a price." Wu Weiqian shook his head. "We only added a little shipping fee and labor fee when we brought it from Southern Province. If it was less, it would be sold to the thief."
"Brother, give me less. If you give me less, I'll take one."
"Yes, give me less. I'll take one even if you give me less." At this time, a middle-aged man next to him also interrupted and said that his son was getting married and the woman wanted three turns and one ring, but until now he has not paid for the watch ticket. This electronic watch is not only cheaper than a mechanical watch but also does not require a ticket. Buying one will not only save him trouble but also money.
"I haven't opened the market yet. You two are my first wave of customers. I'll give you 29 yuan each. It can be considered as you helping me open the market." Wu Weiqian hesitated for a moment before he hardened his heart and said.
"Thank you, brother." The two of them happily chose their favorite electronic watches, and each of them bought a five-jin hanging watch before leaving happily.
"Hey, bro, what is this calculator of yours for? Is it used for calculations?" A vendor nearby asked Wu Weiqian during a break from his business.
"Yes, it's for calculations." Wu Weiqian saw that this person was a potential customer, so he took out a calculator and explained it to him in detail.
Sure enough, this peddler was illiterate. Although he had to do some small business due to family reasons, he would make mistakes in calculations when he was in a hurry. He would be unwilling to pay if the customers gave him too much, but would happily give it away if the customers gave him too little. For this reason, he didn't know how much money he had lost. Now that there was a calculator, an arithmetic artifact that could help him solve arithmetic problems, he bought one without hesitation and started using it immediately.
The flow of people really brought benefits. Driven by the flow of people buying food, they have sold ten electronic watches and twelve calculators. It can be said that they have achieved great results.
After emptying the baskets of supplies, Wu Weiqian continued to stay there to sell electronic watches and calculators, while Qiao Mo and Wu Weijin went home with their empty baskets on their backs.
"I didn't expect the business to be so booming, little sister. We're really going to make a fortune now." Wu Weijin couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart when he thought that he had earned nearly two hundred yuan in less than an hour.
"As long as you work hard, you will soon become a householder." Qiao Mo said with a smile.
"We are lucky because of my younger sister. Otherwise, we would have to stay at home and study and rely on our parents for support." Wu Weijin scratched his head and said that neither the Wu family nor the Wei family had the genes for doing business, and the two brothers certainly didn't have them either. If it weren't for the younger sister leading them, they would definitely not have embarked on this path. His father was right, the younger sister was the lucky star of their family.
"These are all the results of your and your elder brother's hard work, as well as the open-mindedness of our godparents." Qiao Mo shook her head. If they couldn't lead the children, there was nothing she could do no matter how capable she was. Without the support of Wu Yuanxin and Yi Ge, they wouldn't dare to do anything. Therefore, both are indispensable.
The two of them walked very quickly and arrived home while they were talking.
"Brother Wu, cousin, are you here from the black market?" Yang Weiguo, who was running in the yard, saw them and hurried to meet them.
"Well, I came back after the things were sold out. My brother is still selling electronic watches and calculators over there." Qiao Mo nodded.
