Sun Yao, a grade 81 girl from the Chinese Department, asked her roommate Lan Guoping.
"My clothes have been washed and I don't have anything suitable to wear." Lan Guoping said with a pout.
"Don't you have a floral skirt?"
"There are no suitable socks to match."
"Let's make do with it, you are pretty enough, you don't need to pursue perfection."
"That's not true! My calves are too dark and don't look good..."
"Hehe, I think it looks pretty."
"I won't tell you anymore, someone is knocking on the door..."
As Lan Guoping spoke, he stood up and opened the door. Standing outside the door was a thin boy with a whitish schoolbag slung across his body and a timid look on his face. In this boy's face
On his chest, there is a school badge with the words "Peking University" clearly on it.
"Classmate, who are you looking for?" Lan Guoping asked.
"Classmate..., do you want socks?" the boy asked stammering.
"Socks?" Lan Guoping was stunned. Is this a new and popular way of expressing love? It seems very creative.
That boy was naturally Wu Zixian. After deciding that he wanted to make money by selling socks, he made some solid preparations. He learned about the price of stockings from his female fellow villagers, and also inquired about the female dormitories of Renmin University and Normal University.
, and then set out on a Sunday, carrying 40 pairs of socks.
Wu Zixian did not choose to start selling socks in the girls' dormitory of Peking University, partly because he could not save face. When doing business in his own school, it is always awkward to run into a classmate he knows. It doesn't matter if he is in another school, as long as you are willing to do so.
If you tear off your face and put it in your pocket, who will know you?
Regarding the question of whether to wear the school badge, Wu Zixian has also seriously considered it. Wearing the school badge to do small business seems to be a bit embarrassing for the school. But at the same time, wearing the school badge can also give people a sense of trust. After all,
Compared with second-rate dealers in society, college students are still more worthy of the trust of buyers.
In this way, Wu Zixian's first stop came to the Normal University and knocked on the door of Sun Yao and Lan Guoping's room.
"What do you mean by socks?" Lan Guoping asked.
Wu Zixian opened his schoolbag and took out a stack of stockings. He gestured to Lan Guoping and said, "That's it. I want to ask, do you want to buy stockings?"
"You are..." Lan Guoping looked at Wu Zixian and narrowed her eyes.
"I'm from Peking University, and I'm doing a work-study program," Wu Zixian said.
"Work-study program, which department of Peking University are you from?"
"Department of Chemistry."
"Which level?"
"Level 82."
"Level 82, isn't that still a freshman?"
"Uh..., yes, I am a freshman."
"Oh, it's amazing. Freshmen already know how to work and study. Why are today's children so precocious?"
Lan Guoping immediately became interested. Junior fellow apprentices, even senior fellows from Beijing, it was fresh and delicious.
"Come in quickly."
Lan Guoping greeted him warmly and let Wu Zixian into the dormitory.
Fortunately, Wu Zixian was not someone who had never entered a girls' dormitory. Hearing Lan Guoping's invitation, he bravely entered the door, and then he saw another girl in the room, staring at him with wolf-like eyes.
"Are you really here to sell socks?" Sun Yao looked Wu Zixian up and down, trying to find some flaws in him.
Wu Zixian gestured at the socks on his hands and said, "Yes, I am a student at Peking University, and my family is from a rural area, so I use my weekends to do some sales, mainly to earn some living expenses."
"Do you know where we are here?"
"Teacher University."
"Nonsense, I mean, do you know which professional dormitory our dormitory is?"
"have no idea."
"really do not know?"
"really do not know."
"Forget it." Sun Yao shook her head regretfully. It seemed that this junior fellow student had indeed knocked on the door of their dormitory by mistake, and was not looking for an excuse to strike up a conversation with Lan Guoping.
You know, Lan Guoping is one of the candidates for the school beauty. There are countless boys in the school who come to talk to her with excuses. Sun Yao just thought that some boys from other schools came here because of her reputation.
What a pity, otherwise it would be such interesting gossip.
"Yao Yao, what are you doing!" Lan Guoping knew what Sun Yao was thinking. She scolded Sun Yao and then asked Wu Zixian to sit down on the stool. She sat on the edge of the bed next to her and stretched out her hand to Wu Zixian.
said:
"Show me your socks."
Wu Zixian quickly entered the role. He handed the pairs of socks he had just taken out to Lan Guoping's hands and introduced at the same time: "These socks are of very good quality. They are all shipped from Shuinan. I heard they are authentic Japanese ones."
goods."
Gao Fan got these socks for him. In order to help Wu Zixian find a profitable business, Gao Fan spent more than 20 yuan to make a long-distance call to Chen Xingquan in Shuinan and asked him if he could get some convenience.
Small commodities sold in the school.
Chen Xingquan then introduced to Gao Fan one of his cousins, named Chen Yuliang, who ran a small business in Beijing. Chen Yuliang's business was to transport some small commodities from Shuinan and sell them at farmers' markets in Beijing.
Gao Fan contacted Chen Yuliang to explain the matter, and Chen Yuliang recommended these socks to him. According to Chen Yuliang, these socks were all produced in Japan. As for how they got to Shuinan, it is inconvenient to elaborate. In short, they were
The price is much cheaper than the Japanese stockings in the mall, but the quality is the same.
Wu Zixian showed the socks to his female fellow villager. She came from Yigao, the city of Liu'an Province and came from a very good family. After appraising it, she said that it indeed seemed to be a product of Japanese origin. It was sold at 60 cents a pair. It was definitely genuine.
Very good value for money.
After making such an expression, the female fellow paid to buy two pairs and claimed that she could help Wu Zixian promote them to girls.
"Yao Yao, come here and take a look at the quality of these socks."
Lan Guoping unpacked a pair of socks and looked at them carefully. At the same time, she called Sun Yao to come over and help her.
"It's very good. It should be from Japan."
Sun Yao pulled up the stockings, tried the elasticity, and praised them.
"I really like this color, it just matches my skirt." Lan Guoping said.
"If you like it, buy it. It will just help the junior fellow students at Peking University." Sun Yao said with a smile.
Lan Guoping looked at Wu Zixian and asked, "How much does a pair of these socks cost?"
"Six cents."
"Sixty cents, really..."
Lan Guoping subconsciously wanted to say "It's really expensive", but took it back. It is only natural to bargain when buying something, but socks like these cost 60 cents a pair, which really can't be considered expensive.
Such a skinny junior sells socks in order to earn living expenses, and he sells them so cheaply. Does he still have any conscience if he bargains for them?
