Chapter 384 Night Market
Captain Zhang almost rolled his eyes when he heard this, but heat-insulating suits weren't a rare commodity for them right now, so he said, "Actually, if you need to go out on a mission, these will be provided free of charge. Ordinary people generally don't need to go out, but if you want them, I'll apply for them."
If Captain Zhang applied, then he wouldn't need to pay contribution points. The four of them quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Captain Zhang. Four items will be enough."
As for Ran Qiaoqiao and Nana, didn’t Captain Zhang alter two of them on the way here?
After the modification, no one else could use it, so naturally no one returned it.
Captain Zhang stayed in the store for a while and then left.
As Captain Zhang left, Zhou Zhiye and the Shen siblings also arrived at the store. After seeing what they were selling, they all showed the same expression as Captain Zhang—
It's not that ugly, but it's hard to describe.
After a while, the three of them left together.
The next people who came in were naturally customers. It wasn't a very busy day, but I did earn a lot of contribution points. Let's put it this way, I easily earned back the money I earned from the store for two months. So, it's not that the store doesn't make money, it just depends on what business you do.
After dinner in the afternoon, Lan Jin and Ling Jiang went to pick up Lan Qiaoqiao.
The two of them deliberately left home early and walked around the street of the night market.
As for the night market, it is quite large. Although there are not too many goods on display at each stall, the night market street is long and you can always find what you want to buy after walking around. The most important thing is that the night market is not open for a long time and is not as standardized as a store, so the stall fee is relatively low, charged on a daily basis, and one contribution point is charged per day.
Because the business was originally for individual customers, it was not cost-effective to rent a POS machine individually, so each stall was equipped with a POS machine. The machine would be taken away when paying the stall fee and returned when leaving. All information was recorded, and the people in the base were not afraid that they would steal things.
As for the usage of the POS machine, it is also very simple. It is in the turned-off state when you receive it. Verification is required when turning it on. When verifying, the boss's own residence certificate is swiped, and then the payment made by others will be deposited into her residence certificate. When returning it, the staff will shut down the machine directly in front of them. After shutting down, everything will be cleared and restarted, so generally there will be no problem.
So, if you have something you want to sell, setting up a stall at a night market is the most cost-effective way.
As soon as she learned the situation, Lan Jin couldn't sit still anymore. "Ling Jiang, we can also open a night market, right?"
Ling Jiang naturally wondered, but what to sell?
"We can't use them, but others might need them, or they're things that can't be reproduced." Lan Jin thought for a long time and said, "What do you think of toys?"
The toys in Lan Jin's space are piled up like snacks into a small mountain. There are toys for all age groups. Every night, take out a few and sell them. This can not only clear the inventory but also earn contribution points. Why not do it?
Ling Jiang asked, "Won't your Qiao Qiao cry if she finds out? She knows those toys exist. Is it appropriate to just sell them like that?"
Lan Jin said, "Qiaoqiao is already grown up. Some of her toys are obviously for children. She has no interest in them. Those can be sold. Besides, there are so many toys, it's impossible to sell them all, so there are still some toys for her to play with."
At worst, I can let the children pick some and put them aside, but the quantity is really large, so it’s really no big deal to sell some.
"Okay, since it's just sitting there anyway, why not start it tomorrow?"
"OK."
…
After bringing Qiao Qiao to the store, Lan Jin and Ling Jiang briefly explained the situation they had just inquired about. Unexpectedly, they immediately gained the approval of the two.
Lao Gao said, "Sell them. You have so many toys in your space, they're just taking up space. You can even exchange them for contribution points. Just remember to keep the ones Qiao Qiao wants to play with."
Huang Jinghe said, "Actually, many of the toys in there are duplicates. Let's leave one set for Qiao Qiao and get rid of the rest."
The main reason is that Ranchoqiao has grown up and will not "take apart" toys like before. You know, when they first saw Ranchoqiao "taking apart" toys, they were really surprised. Now he has seen a psychologist, so he should not be like before.
I think so.
…
Originally, they were people of action. After making the plan, they cleared out the toys to be sold that night. After picking up Lan Qiaoqiao the next day, Lan Jin took her and Lao Gao to the night market.
Of course, she originally wanted to bring Ling Jiang along. After all, she was selling toys, so why would she bring a bearded old man along? But since Lao Gao wanted to go anyway, she just let her do the hard labor.
The night market is also within the commercial district, but it is in the corner of the commercial district, so it takes about 10 minutes to walk there.
After they went there, they rented a stall first, and then after verifying the POS machine, the staff took them to the corresponding stall.
The stalls are not fixed, and are served on a first-come, first-served basis. However, they only open on time, so it’s useless to come very early.
Over here, Lan Qiao and Lao Gao had just set up their stall when he couldn't sit still anymore and said, "Sister Lan, I'm going to take a look around."
"Go ahead. I know how to use the machine, and I can handle the business as well."
After saying that, Lao Gao started strolling around the night market by himself.
One thing I have to say is that Lao Gao is really a big spender. After just one round of shopping, she hasn't even bought a set of toys yet, but he has bought a bunch of random things.
Lan Jin was speechless. "You must be panicking because you have money on your residence permit. Why are you buying these things?"
Lao Gao said, "This is a treasure hunt from a wasteland. This thing was not cheap before the end of the world. I didn't expect that I couldn't afford it before, but now I can buy it."
Lan Jin felt a little disgusted when she saw those things, but since they were spending their own contribution points, what could she say?
In short, "as long as you are happy."
…
The price of Lanjin toys is not very high, ranging from 5 to 20 contribution points, and the price is determined according to the size of the toy.
This price is something that everyone can afford if they grit their teeth. If you really think about it, it is not too expensive.
But when Captain Zhang, who came over to take a look, heard about this incident by accident, he couldn't help but wonder, "This toy is really new. It looks like it came from the supermarket. Where did you get it?"
When Lan Jin heard the word supermarket, her heart skipped a beat, but then she thought, she didn't have any special abilities at that time, and she didn't take out much, so she might not make the connection.
