Liu Liping carefully wiped the shelves, counters, and window glass, and then mopped the terrazzo floor clean. The entire store was spotless.
After doing all this, Liu Liping smiled happily and contentedly.
It has been open for more than 20 days, and the average daily sales are close to 600, and the profit is just over 20%, making nearly 120 yuan a day.
The money I earn in one day is more than my monthly salary while working in a shoe factory.
Convenience stores make so much money.
Far beyond Liu Liping's imagination.
Sometimes, she was really afraid that this was a dream, and when she woke up, she would be back where she started, and her family would still be poor.
Chug tug tug!
The harsh sound of the tricycle's diesel engine entered the store, interrupting Liu Liping's thoughts. She turned to look outside and saw her husband coming back on a tricycle.
Although most of the goods in the store are delivered to your door regularly by suppliers, some items sell out quickly. If you call to order the goods, they are not always delivered on time, and your husband has to pick them up.
To make it easier to pick up the goods, the couple put their money together and spent 3,000 yuan to buy a diesel tricycle.
Liu Liping hurried out to help her husband move things.
Chen Junsheng said with a smile: "The Kong family wine has been selling well recently, so I bought a few more."
"Have you taken out the twelve colored pens, plasticine, stainless steel mechanical pencils and 0.7 automatic pen refills?" Liu Liping asked her husband.
There is a Hongqi Road Primary School nearby.
In the past, the store did not sell stationery, but when children came to buy snacks, they always asked for colored pens, plasticine, grid notebooks, and the popular stainless steel mechanical pencils.
Liu Liping then added a counter to sell stationery.
"I've taken them all. You said that these kids are getting more and more popular now. Automatic pens are made of stainless steel. That thing costs six or seven yuan a piece. You can buy a dozen ordinary automatic pencils, and the eraser costs two or three yuan."
A set of crystal erasers.”
"These children in primary school now are all born in the 1980s and are little emperors. They are different from when Haohao was a child. When Haohao was a child, he couldn't bear to throw away the pencil until he couldn't hold it."
"If you are not good at studying, you can use a solid gold mechanical pencil with ease."
The couple chatted while working, talking about their son with pride on their faces.
They are able to live such a good life now because of their sons. Those old neighbors in the past were not to mention envious of them.
After moving the goods, the couple had breakfast.
"We now earn an average of one hundred and twenty-three yuan a day. According to this trend, when Haohao graduates from the military academy and gets married, it will not be a big problem for us to save three hundred thousand. We can be considered rich people and can make Haohao look good."
Chen Junsheng firmly believes that as long as he works hard, he and his wife are proud of their son now, and their son will be proud of him and his wife in the future.
Liu Liping nodded with a smile, then frowned and said, "Junsheng, how much money our store makes in a day, don't tell outsiders, lest someone gets jealous and opens a convenience store."
"I definitely won't say it. Being low-key won't make people hate you, but there will definitely be people opening convenience stores in the future." Chen Junsheng's words made Liu Liping look worried.
When there are more convenience stores, competition becomes fierce.
Intense competition will reduce income.
Liu Liping frowned and said nothing.
"Don't think so much, let's be ourselves, don't lie to people, don't cheat people, don't harm people, God will definitely bless us." Chen Junsheng comforted his wife.
Liu Liping hummed.
There is an endless stream of customers.
The couple was busy, and before they knew it, it was already past eleven o'clock in the morning, and drum music suddenly sounded on the street.
People on the street stopped to watch.
Liu Liping and Chen Junsheng also walked out of the store and looked eagerly.
A team marched slowly, and the person at the front held up a big red banner that read: Chen Hao, a candidate from our city's No. 1 Middle School, won the province's top scorer in the college entrance examination with 622 points.
"Haohao?"
Liu Liping was shocked and turned to look at her husband.
"Impossible, our Haohao can't pass such a high exam, so he will go to a military academy." Chen Junsheng believed that he knew his son's academic performance very well.
"I'm overthinking it."
Liu Liping also felt that her son was not that strong, so she said no more and silently looked at the promotional team consisting of the No. 1 Drum Band and five vehicles.
"I heard that three students from No. 1 Middle School were admitted to Qinghua this year."
"There are three. One of them is a sports student, so he is not considered a real person."
