After a hard day, the people who went out to sell goods in the morning came back one after another.
Sure enough, the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny.
Everyone watched Luo Limin and Xiang Xiaoqin pull out a cart of furniture and sell out all of it. After making so much money, they also fantasized about pulling out a cart of furniture and selling out all of it.
But when it was their turn, they didn't have such good luck at all.
With good luck, I sold three or five pieces of furniture and earned about ten yuan.
I was unlucky, not a single piece of furniture was sold, and I had to use my strength to pull the cart, and even had to pay for eating two steamed buns outside.
This also proves that not everyone in this world has a business acumen, or, even if some people have a business acumen, they are helpless without this bit of wealth.
Xu Erlong used to be in the wholesale market, but he saw countless shops. Even if they were adjacent to each other and selling the same goods, one shop could be busy, while the adjacent shops were deserted.
Is this different goods? In fact, they are the same source of goods and the same products.
Is the location wrong? The wholesale markets are all in the same cubicle. The distance between them is just one grid. How can there be any difference?
This can only be attributed to the fact that some people have the business acumen and the luck to make money.
And other people just have poorer financial luck.
After this day's struggle, this was a pouring of cold water for the villagers, and everyone was no longer as enthusiastic as before.
Xu Erlong also hopes that they can calm down.
He wants to select suitable people from among them as partners for long-term cooperation and development.
Only Xu Chunsheng and Wen Laowu were a little surprised by this result.
Such a group of people showed up in the morning and emptied out all the furniture in the yard, forcing them to speed up production.
But now, this group of people has brought so many goods back with a loud bang, and the yard is full again.
Xu Erlong began to count the numbers.
Fortunately, although a lot of goods were returned, judging from the statistics, about one-third were still sold.
Such data is already very good.
People who have made more than ten or twenty yuan today are already thinking in their hearts that they will continue to sell goods tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow will be even better.
People who only sold one or two pieces of furniture are also reflecting in their hearts. When negotiating prices today, they should have a better attitude. Maybe they can sell one more piece of furniture.
And those who haven't sold a single piece of furniture have given up thinking.
Forget it, I am not a business person. Busy in and out, it is a waste of effort. I am not as good as someone who makes furniture here.
They are so safe, no matter whether the furniture can be sold or not, they still get paid.
Someone told Xu Erlong half-truthfully, "Why don't we come here to be apprentices too?"
"Okay." Xu Erlong agreed readily: "Since you are relatives of the village chief, and you don't look at the monk's face to look at the Buddha's face, I can definitely agree to this request. However, the rules are still the same, the apprenticeship fee of twenty yuan,
Those who learn quickly can be paid as skilled workers within a few days of getting started."
In the name of recruiting apprentices, people are recruited to work in the factory, and no one can find fault with it.
So, after some operations, Xu Chunsheng had two more apprentices under his name.
Xu Chunsheng had another forty yuan in tuition fees in his pocket.
This makes Wen Laowu envious.
It costs twenty yuan to accept one apprentice. If you accept one hundred apprentices, it will cost you two thousand yuan. If you accept one thousand apprentices, it will cost you twenty thousand yuan.
Alas, people can become a household worth ten thousand yuan just by recruiting apprentices. When can I become a household worth ten thousand yuan?
In the past, in the countryside, everyone in the village was almost the same, there wasn't much difference, so Wen Laowu could just muddle along.
But here, he and Xu Chunsheng lived together. There was not much age difference between them, and they were in the same foreign country. Their situation was similar. Xu Chunsheng was even in a worse situation than him before.
As a result, Xu Chunsheng quickly turned around and became the respectful title of Master Xu.
Although he relied on Xu Erlong's help in this process, Xu Chunsheng was also able to live up to his expectations.
What about yourself? Relying on Xu Erlong, apart from eating and drinking, he still accomplished nothing.
Wen Laowu began to think about important things in life.
****
Ever since Xu Erlong left home and sent Wen Ye to study in the capital, Zhang Jinfang followed Xu Erlong's instructions and took good care of the family.
On weekdays, in addition to shopping for groceries and cooking, she would also spend the rest of her time visiting leather shoe stores and wandering around department stores.
During this period, the topic everyone was chatting about was "crack down hard".
Every day, the county's publicity vehicles go back and forth on the highway to advertise, "Crack down on criminal activities with severity, speed, and severity," and "Those who may or may not be caught will be arrested resolutely, and those who may or may not be sentenced will be punished resolutely..."
Zhang Jinfang was frightened when she heard this.
The ignorant are fearless.
This sentence is very reasonable.
Zhang Jinfang's life before was quite peaceful.
But now, with this propaganda truck going around, Zhang Jinfang suddenly felt that the world is so dangerous. Why are there so many robbers, murderers, and hooligans?
Zhang Jinfang no longer dares to take it lightly. She now insists on sending Xiaoling to and from school every day.
Otherwise, what should I do if my beautiful daughter is killed and robbed?
This morning, after she sent Xiaoling to school, she picked up vegetables and went to the Shajing vegetable market to buy vegetables as usual.
Just after walking up a slope, someone suddenly ran past behind him and bumped Zhang Jinfang.
The other person bumped into her and ran away without even a word of apology.
Zhang Jinfang was hit so hard that she could not stand steadily, leaned back and almost fell down.
Fortunately, an arm stretched out from behind to hold her steady.
Despite this, Zhang Jinfang still sprained his foot.
Ignoring the excruciating pain, Zhang Jinfang subconsciously touched her waist.
All her money is kept in her watch bag here.
It is said that various pickpockets and thieves steal other people's wallets just by bumping into them.
Fortunately, the bulge in her watch bag proved that she still had money.
Zhang Jinfang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the money was not stolen.
When she came back to her senses, she realized that it was thanks to someone else helping her from behind, otherwise, she would have really fallen down the ladder.
"Thank you, comrade." Zhang Jinfang turned around and thanked the people behind him.
The person supporting her behind her was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He looked quite dignified. He was wearing a washed-white Mao suit and was quite a decent person.
"You're welcome." The other party said, "I just saw you were about to fall, so I just stretched out my hand to help you. Are your feet okay?"
"It's okay." Zhang Jinfang replied with a frown.
Although I didn't break my leg when I sprained it just now, it definitely sprained my hamstring.
"It seems that you injured your foot. Should I carry you to the hospital?" the other party asked.
Zhang Jinfang quickly shook her head and refused: "No, no, I have nothing to do."
What a joke. How could she, a middle-aged woman, ask a man to carry her to the hospital?
