Because it rained in the evening, there was still some standing water everywhere on Renqiao Street.
Yin Xiaobiao walked two streets before finding a dry place in front of a shop. He simply cleaned the floor and then prepared to lie down and sleep.
"what is your job?"
A voice sounded beside him without warning, startling Yin Xiaobiao. When he looked up, he saw a man standing in front of him. He was about 20 years old, not tall, but quite strong.
"I, I'm passing through."
Yin Xiaobiao stood up and stammered to explain to the visitor.
He didn't know who the other party was, but his behavior was indeed suspicious, and it was not surprising to be questioned. He felt uneasy, fearing that the other party was a policeman, so he would handcuff himself without saying a word and send him to sift sand.
The person who asked Yin Xiaobiao was none other than Ke Shuilong. After giving him a few explanations, Gao Fan hid with Chen Xingquan, leaving Ke Shuilong alone to negotiate with Yin Xiaobiao.
"Aren't you from Renqiao?" Ke Shuilong asked with a frown, while he glanced at Yin Xiaobiao up and down, as if he was full of doubts about his identity.
"Comrade, don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad person." Yin Xiaobiao said, "I'm from Maolin. Look, this is my student ID card."
"Are you a student?" Ke Shuilong took the student ID card handed over by Yin Xiaobiao, opened it, looked at it, and asked, "Your name is Yin Xiaobiao?"
"yes."
"What did you come to Renqiao for?"
"I...I'm here to buy something."
"shopping?"
"That's it...I heard that plastic products are cheap here in Renqiao, and I want to buy some and sell them back to our place."
"Aren't you a student?"
"I have already graduated. I graduated in July."
"Oh...then what are you doing here?"
"I want to sleep here."
"Sleep? Didn't you find the hotel?"
"I..., I lost my money."
There was a nasal sound in Yin Xiaobiao's voice.
Yin Xiaobiao came to Renqiao because he was completely bewitched by Gao Fan.
In the last month of his sophomore year in high school, Yin Xiaobiao was assigned to sit at the same table as Gao Fan. Yin Xiaobiao knew that his academic performance was not good, and he would definitely be hopeless in the college entrance examination, so he did not think about asking Gao Fan for some learning experience, but he was interested in Gao Fan and Gao Fan.
Shuinan people are quite interested in their interactions.
After some insinuation, Yin Xiaobiao learned that the production of small commodities in Renqiao, Shuinan, was very developed. The pencil case that Gao Fan gave to the class came from Renqiao, and it was said that the local price in Renqiao was only a dime, while in Renqiao
The selling price in Cangtang is as high as 70 to 80 cents.
It was at that time that Yin Xiaobiao had an idea in his mind. Maybe after the college entrance examination, he could go to Renqiao and wholesale a batch of pencil cases back to Cangtang to sell.
Assume that a pencil case can earn 50 cents, 100 is 50 yuan, and 200 is 100 yuan. If you take a trip to Renqiao, you can earn 100 yuan, that is a great thing.
His father is an ordinary employee of a supply and marketing cooperative, and his mother works in a large collective enterprise. Their combined salary is less than 100 yuan. He has three siblings in his family, and his grandparents also need support. The family's life is simple.
It has to be tight, which makes Yin Xiaobiao have a strong desire to make money since he was a child.
Yin Xiaobiao did not dare to tell his parents about this matter, because he knew that his parents would never allow him to do this. Cangtang is a conservative place, and in the minds of most Cangtang people, doing business is a dishonest and extremely risky business.
Big things.
Yin Xiaobiao is just a child under 17 years old. How dare his parents let him go to Renqiao to purchase goods and then bring him back to Cangtang to sell.
After the college entrance examination, Yin Xiaobiao, like other children, played wildly in the county town for a few days, and then asked his parents to go to the countryside to play with his grandparents.
His parents were not surprised by Yin Xiaobiao's request, because in the past, during winter and summer vacations, Yin Xiaobiao would go to the countryside to play for a few days. His father gave Yin Xiaobiao 20 yuan and asked him to bring it to his grandparents, and then let him set off.
.
Yin Xiaobiao got on a long-distance bus in the county town, but did not go to the countryside. Instead, he got off the bus halfway, and then boarded a freight train bound for Shuinan and started his first business trip.
By the way, because there is a railway passing through Cangtang, children in Cangtang are no stranger to riding trains.
Yin Xiaobiao's plan was to use the 20 yuan given by his father to go to Renqiao to purchase a batch of plastic products, such as pencil cases, and then bring them back to Luping for sale.
If what Gao Fan said is true, the price difference between Renqiao's small commodities and Luping's is two to three times that of Luping. Small commodities worth 20 yuan can be sold for at least 6.70 yuan, which is equivalent to a profit of 4.50 yuan.
Then he went back to the countryside and gave 20 yuan to his grandparents, and he had 4 or 50 yuan in his hands.
At that time, he can consider showing off to his parents and use the money he earns to prove that he has the ability to make money.
The round trip from Cangtang to Renqiao only takes a week at most. There is no means of communication between his parents and grandparents, so it is impossible to know that he went to Renqiao without permission.
After he earns his money back, and his parents see that he can earn a month's salary of an adult in one week, is there any reason to stop him?
The plan was wonderful, but the reality was very ugly. Yin Xiaobiao changed cars several times on the road and finally arrived at Renqiao. When he got out of the truck in a daze, he found that his pants had been used at some point.
The blade made a gash, and the 20 yuan he had sewn into his pants before going out was gone.
At that moment, Yin Xiaobiao felt as if five thunders had struck his head, and he was completely stunned.
Without money, he could not purchase goods and had to climb back on the train again.
And if he loses the money, he will not be able to explain it to his parents. What's more, as a child from a poor family, he also knows what 20 yuan means to his family. That is the living expenses of his grandparents in the next few months, and the family will be squeezed again.
It is also very difficult to come up with so much money.
Thinking of all the terrible consequences, Yin Xiaobiao's first thought was not to go back, which would make his parents feel that he had run away from home. Maybe his parents would be anxious and sad, but if he didn't see it, just pretend it didn't exist.
.When you find a way to earn a lot of money, you can go back to your parents to apologize and let your father give you a severe beating.
However, this thought only passed by for a moment. The world outside was very helpless, and he didn't know if he could survive in this world.
He decided to find some odd jobs in Renqiao to earn enough 20 yuan, and then implement his business plan.
Doing odd jobs requires a lot of time, and you will definitely not be able to hide it from your parents after you return. But if you can make money, maybe your father will beat you less lightly, right?
