Chapter 095 Two Beauties Are Surrounded
Most of the onlookers left in surprise when they heard the three-digit number.
The item was good, but it was also really expensive.
In the end, only a few young people were left.
Among the few young people who stayed, they all felt regretful that they liked it but could not afford it.
Only a young man with a middle-parted hair asked carefully about the usage, fumbled for a while, and took out money to buy it.
"Since you are the first one to take care of my business, I will give you another box of tapes." Lin Wanxia generously let the other party choose the tapes.
The young man's eyes lit up and he thanked him repeatedly, as if he had picked up a huge bargain.
Lin Wanxia and Chen Manshu were still amateurs.
In this era, not only were tape recorders expensive, but even tapes were difficult to exchange.
Not to mention such a large box of different types of tapes.
The tapes that He Yucheng gave them were still very valuable.
Although only one small tape recorder was sold, six boxes of tapes were sold.
Lin Wanxia set a very reasonable price, three boxes for ten yuan.
The tapes were sold quickly, and the fifty boxes were soon sold out.
Three small tape recorders were sold.
As the sun was setting, the two decided to find a place to eat first.
Making money is not a matter of one day or one night, so it is important to fill your stomach first.
"At least we made some money, why don't we go out for a big meal?" Lin Wanxia suggested.
Chen Manshu had no objection, "Is there any place you want to go?"
"We just ate at a Western restaurant in Eagle City, how about trying some local delicacies?"
They hit it off immediately, and the two of them carried their almost empty bags and headed for the hotel.
To get to the place Lin Wanxia mentioned, they had to go through a small alley behind the department store.
As soon as the two of them entered the alley, they were blocked by someone.
Lin Wanxia sighed and whispered, "Before I wore it, I always heard that it was easy to make money in this era. I also knew that the public security these days is not good, but I didn't expect it to be so bad."
"Normal." Chen Manshu reached into his pocket, "Everything has two sides, a good side and a bad side. The weak complain about the environment and blame the heaven and the earth. The strong try to find ways to solve the problem."
The two were blocked in front and behind, and they had nowhere to retreat. They looked back to back at the newcomers.
Probably due to the environment, there are surprisingly many gangsters now.
They are not that bad, but they are not good people either.
They are basically young people who have just returned to the city and have no jobs yet.
I think they are either robbing or raping.
But there are girls among them, and there is a familiar girl. Lin Wanxia guessed that they should be robbing.
"Do you want a tape recorder?" Lin Wanxia asked.
Those people didn't expect Lin Wanxia to directly reveal their purpose. They looked at each other and stopped.
Lin Wanxia looked at the girl who asked the price first, "You can't afford it so you want to snatch it?"
The girl lowered her head embarrassedly, but didn't mean to give up, "I really want a tape recorder."
The young man next to her patted her head, "Ningning, it's okay, I'll give you everything you want."
Lin Wanxia tied the bag tightly around her.
Such an expensive thing, if it is damaged, it will be a loss.
After telling Chen Manshu, "Take care of yourself!", she rushed towards the person opposite.
In the past six months, she has been exercising and training step by step. Even if her skills are not as good as those in the New Century, she is not as weak as she was when she first arrived due to malnutrition.
The alley is not wide, and can only accommodate two people.
Lin Wanxia rushed forward, and before the other party could react, she grabbed the collar of the person closest to her and pulled him towards herself, while bending her knees and hitting the other party's chest hard.
The young man who just spoke reacted quickly and punched her.
Lin Wanxia tilted her head, held his wrist forward, and hit him hard in the ribs with her elbow.
Then she bent her knees and hit him hard on the chin.
In just a few seconds, she knocked them both down.
In front of her stood the girl with a face as pale as paper who wanted the tape recorder.
"Ah!"
A scream came from behind.
Lin Wanxia was worried that Chen Manshu would look back, so she adjusted her center of gravity and ran backwards.
She ran two steps and stopped.
It was the hooligans who were screaming.
Two men and two women were not spared, covering their faces, or more precisely, covering their eyes and screaming.
Chen Manshu proudly waved the bottle in his hand at Lin Wanxia, "I made my own anti-wolf spray, isn't it great?"
Lin Wanxia gave Chen Manshu a thumbs up.
The two men walked away through them in a swagger.
"If you rob others, others will rob you. If you really want something, I suggest you get it through your own labor." Chen Manshu reminded the girl in a light voice as he passed by.
There will be a crackdown next year, so she should take care of herself!
***
Back at the compound, Lin Wanxia followed Chen Manshu to the room where they lived before.
The two of them sat at the table and did some accounting.
Chen Manshu counted the clothes, while Lin Wanxia counted the tape recorders.
She didn't have much stuff to count.
Three tape recorders, each made 60 yuan in profit, so the three made 180 yuan. The
cassettes made a little over 100 yuan.
In half a day, they made 280 yuan.
Chen Manshu's account was a little harder to calculate. This
was because many people who bought clothes bargained.
Buying one piece was not cheap, but buying two pieces would often give a discount or round off.
A coat made 7 yuan, a sweater made 5 yuan, and a pair of pants made 3 yuan. There were also those who made 4 yuan and 6 yuan.
In total, he sold about 100 pieces.
The average price was about 4 yuan.
Chen Manshu still had 423 yuan in his hand after deducting the money he brought with him in the morning.
The two of them earned 700 yuan in one day.
Lin Wanxia said that they would split it in half, she took 350 yuan, and the remaining 350 yuan was given to Chen Manshu.
Chen Manshu shook his head, "How can I share the same money with you when you paid and worked hard?"
She deducted the round-trip fare, food and accommodation, and gave Lin Wanxia 400 yuan, keeping 200 yuan for herself.
Lin Wanxia refused to accept it, "Just consider it as my help today. I will go back to the fishing village after the New Year. I prefer sailing to doing business. My career is on the sea. Just think of me as a contributor, and now I own half of the shares. When your business gets bigger, just leave me a smaller share."
The heroine is sure to make money in business, and she will not lose money by investing, so just consider it as a way out for herself.
Chen Manshu then agreed.
He also took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter of commitment to Lin Wanxia.
This time Lin Wanxia accepted the letter of commitment without hesitation.
After the two agreed to continue tomorrow, Lin Wanxia returned to her home.
She first took out five hundred yuan and put it on the table, waiting for Jiang Sinian to come back and let him return it to his comrades.
Everyone is waiting for money for the New Year!
In the evening, Jiang Sinian came back and looked at the big bunch of cakes on the table. He sighed, "Strange, I always thought it was hard to make money. Why do you feel it's so easy to make money?"
Ordinary people would like to spend every penny they have. A whole family works hard and saves money, but they can't save much money in a year.
Just like the 500 yuan he borrowed, he still had to ask more than a dozen comrades to get it together.
But Lin Wanxia and Chen Manshu paid off the bill in one day.
Lin Wanxia smiled, "That's because the brave will die of hardship and the timid will die of hunger. Most people are content with the status quo, and we are more willing to work hard."
