On March 18, Lao Xu's second store officially opened. The store is still the same store, but the sign has been changed.
Xu Dong also specially purchased a small waste recycling company for this purpose, and did not use their space, mainly because it was too remote. It only cost less than 10,000 yuan.
During this period, countless small and medium-sized companies went bankrupt every day, and advertisements for rent were everywhere on the streets.
Xu Dong just went to the agency to make some inquiries. The agent took out a thick company catalog and let him choose at will.
After completing all the procedures, Dad Xu not only became the manager of this new store, but also the sole shareholder of Changming Recycling Resource Recycling Company.
In other words, this store belongs to Xu's father from the inside out, and the word "Changming" is taken from Xu's father's name.
After the opening of the new store, Father Xu seemed to have rejuvenated his life. He was even happier than when he was the manager of a convenience store, and he seemed to be in high spirits.
Xu Dong finally let go of the trace of guilt in his heart.
On the same day, the five largest banks in Daxia finally resumed business. The rush of people withdrawing money on the first day directly paralyzed the entire Yanjing city traffic.
The next day, another good news came. Mobile communications and the Internet have started trial operation in some streets in Yanjing, and it is expected that they will be fully opened to the greater capital area within two or three days.
Stimulated by this news, all new mobile phones, new tablets, and new laptops on the market, regardless of brand, were all sold out, and even long-lost scalpers resurfaced.
The reason why people are frantically buying electronic products is simple: many people no longer have electronic products to use.
In fact, long before the nationwide power outage, many preventive measures had been circulated on the Internet, including one:
Turn off power to electronic products!
Maybe it’s because I don’t believe in evil, maybe I didn’t pay attention, maybe I didn’t care…
In short, on this day, the largest electronic product scrapping event in the history of Daxia occurred.
On March 21, all state capitals and some important cities in the country restored the Internet one after another, and people once again entered the Internet era.
If the material supply issue is not taken into consideration, everyone's life style has basically returned to what it was before the flare.
Just when everyone thought everything was about to get back on track, another wave of panic buying completely shattered this illusion.
This time the panic buying wave was different from the past, it was fierce and fierce, and it spread to all parts of the country and even neighboring countries in a short period of time.
For a time, the people were shocked and the friendly countries were astonished!
…
In fact, when the panic buying wave first appeared, Xu's mother received a group message from a group of dancers. In addition, she is impatient herself, so she had no resistance at all to the panic buying wave.
But this time, Xu Dong not only did not persuade and stop him, but also joined in together.
Hiding money at home or depositing it in a bank is very foolish.
If you do this, congratulations, you will be lucky enough to see what it means to "fly down three thousand feet" in the future.
Therefore, it is better to take the opportunity to spend all the money. The money spent is money.
But you only have one chance. No matter what product you buy, you will make money if you buy it. If you don't buy it, you will have bad luck.
After preparations were completed, Xu Dong started to drive his truck around the streets. He deliberately avoided places with large crowds and specifically selected unpopular businesses.
In crowded places, traffic is jammed and cars cannot enter.
And there is no shortage of food at home, so it doesn’t matter what we buy.
"There's no one over there."
Xu Ma suddenly pointed not far away and said, she was sitting in the passenger seat.
Xu Dong also saw it and quickly drove the truck to the door of the merchant.
"I wonder what is being sold here?"
Xu's mother was a little worried. They had bought a lot of extra things before, such as toilet seats, glasses, wallpaper, floor tiles, sandals, etc.
The only satisfying result was taking a cart of small hardware home.
These goods have already completely spent the 600,000 that Xu's mother brought, and the money used now is all the money left in Xu Dong's previous account, which is about 2 million.
"You'll know if you go in and take a look. This place is close to the flower, bird, fish and insect market. They probably sell pets or bonsai."
Xu Dong guessed that he didn't have any surprises anyway.
Hearing this, Xu's mother couldn't hide her disappointment. She was not so crazy as to treat the pet cubs as food. Not only was she unable to do so, she was also unable to eat them.
The mother and son stepped into the store. The area inside was not small, almost 100 square meters. It looked empty. They seemed to have arrived a step too late.
When the shop owner saw a customer coming to his door, he was overjoyed and immediately came forward to greet him:
"Welcome, what do you two want to buy?"
Xu Ma frowned and asked, "What do you have for sale here?"
"You didn't read the sign at the door..."
Before he finished speaking, the store owner reacted first and immediately apologized:
"Sorry, sorry, I forgot, the sign was taken down last night."
"Boss, you don't plan to open this store?"
The shop owner nodded and explained: "I have only done less than ten businesses in three months. I really can't support it anymore. I will officially close tomorrow."
Xu Ma looked sympathetic.
Xu Dong didn't want to waste time and asked directly: "Boss, what exactly are you selling here?"
"Flower fertilizer!" the shop owner replied.
"fertilizer?"
"It's not chemical fertilizer, it's flower fertilizer, flower fertilizer." The shop owner felt tired.
When Xu Ma heard that it was flower fertilizer, she completely lost her mind and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Xu Dong became interested instead and continued to ask: "In addition to flower fertilizer, do you have planting soil here?"
The shop owner's eyes lit up, he didn't expect to meet a big customer before closing.
Planting soil is different from flower fertilizer. A typical order is at least a dozen cubic meters, and can even reach several thousand cubic meters. The profit is much higher than that of flower fertilizer.
"Yes, I wonder how many do you need?"
"I want 100 cubic meters, and I also want some flower fertilizer. One thousand kilograms is enough."
As soon as Xu Dong finished speaking, Xu Ma pulled him down at the door: "Why did you buy so much soil?"
"I want to build a vegetable garden in our yard. Even if there is a natural disaster in the future, they can still eat fresh vegetables."
"Is this possible? It's so cold at night, the seeds are frozen to death." Xu's mother worried.
Xu Dong reminded: "Mom, our yard is completely enclosed. Isn't this just a ready-made glass house? What kind of vegetables can't grow?"
Xu Ma understands everything at once and even thinks deeper.
Don’t worry if the temperature is low at night. At worst, you can light up two more stoves and grow vegetables. There will definitely be no problem, so she immediately changed her attitude:
"Okay, as long as Mom agrees to build a vegetable garden."
The two returned to the store again, and the store owner asked nervously: "How did your discussion go? If it's a price issue, we can discuss it easily."
"Then what's the price here?" Xu Dong asked.
"You also know the situation in the store, and I won't say anything false. The planting soil is 1,000 yuan per cubic meter, and flower fertilizer is included.
As for the transportation fee, delivery within the Fifth Ring Road is guaranteed, and if it exceeds the Fifth Ring Road, the shipping fee is half per person, what do you think?"
Xu Dong thought the price was okay. After all, everything is increasing in price now, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I can accept this price."
The store owner was pleasantly surprised and quickly expressed his gratitude. This order could save at least a quarter of his losses.
"When will the goods arrive from your side?" Xu Dong asked immediately.
The shop owner thought for a moment and said: "It will take at least three or four days. After all, it is difficult to find transportation vehicles now."
"Then we will deliver the goods in five days." Xu Dong decided.
He could just use these five days to transform his yard into a vegetable garden.
