"Of course it's easy to sell." The smile on Luo Limin's face never disappeared: "When I went to the market with them to sell yesterday, I felt that the money was quite easy to make."
Luo's mother came over and said, "So, how much did you earn today?"
Luo Limin and Xiang Xiaoqin looked at each other, and Xiang Xiaoqin gestured with his fingers: "I made thirty-one dollars today."
"What? Thirty-one yuan?" Luo's mother was shocked: "On this day, it has almost caught up with the monthly income when I was a worker."
You know, when Luo Limin worked as a temporary worker in the steel rolling mill, he earned less than thirty yuan a month.
Xiang Xiaoqin pressed her fingers to her lips repeatedly and hissed: "Keep your voice down. Don't let anyone hear you."
Unfortunately, no matter how quiet you whisper, the neighbor next door still hears you.
The neighbor next door thought sourly, this Luo Limin was really a blessing in disguise.
I lost three fingers, but I actually found such a good job. I can pull furniture and sell it. The money I make in one day is enough to make me in a month.
"Why don't we go to Xuji Furniture Factory and ask if we can sell furniture?" the woman encouraged the man.
But the man shook his head: "If I don't go, if it is so easy to sell, will they give up this business?"
To put it bluntly, he just disagreed and made the woman so angry that she wanted to scratch him.
In fact, Luo Limin and Xiang Xiaoqin are able to sell so quickly today, and it is Xiang Xiaoqin who takes the big credit.
She comes from a good family and is pretty. She has two brothers, and she is the only daughter. Her parents dote on her.
When they first met Luo Limin, Luo Limin was still a good-looking young man. He had a job as a temporary worker in a steel rolling mill. The conditions were pretty good, and the two of them were a good match.
Who would have thought that Luo Limin would later lose several fingers and become disabled.
The Xiang family had originally advised Xiang Xiaoqin to forget about this marriage and find a suitable one in the future.
But Xiang Xiaoqin was affectionate and righteous, and was never willing to leave Luo Limin. She even took the initiative to move to Luo Limin's house to show her determination.
The Xiang family had no choice but to help the girl overtly or covertly.
This time I went to sell furniture. Xiang Xiaoqin's parents and brother also helped sell it. Even my own family took the initiative to buy two sets to support Xiang Xiaoqin.
This also gave the two people who were setting up a stall to sell goods for the first time more confidence.
Early the next morning, Luo Limin and Xiang Xiaoqin went to the furniture factory again, picked out ten sets of furniture, loaded it into the car and drove out.
This move was naturally witnessed by the whole village.
In addition, through the loud-mouthed propaganda of Luo Limin's neighbor, everyone knew that Luo Limin and his wife actually made more money selling furniture than workers.
For a time, many people wanted to come over and ask Xu Erlong to sell furniture.
Xu Erlong wondered: "You have to go to the village chief to talk about this. I promised him yesterday..."
He has to give this favor to the village chief, so that you can be good to me, and everyone can be good to you.
When these villagers heard this, they turned to the village chief to say good things.
After all, most people in this village have the surname Luo, and there are many people who are related to them.
Of course, it is inevitable to give something to the village chief, some eggs, some fruits and so on.
In the end, Luo Changshou led a dozen people and stood in Xu Erlong's small courtyard.
The courtyard suddenly seemed a little crowded.
Luo Changshou also looked a little embarrassed when facing Xu Erlong: "These people are all my relatives... Now that they are done with the work in the fields, they just want to find something to do and earn some cigarette money..."
"Okay, since you always bring people, I will definitely give you face, and I will give you the furniture at the wholesale price. However, I still have to explain many things upfront." Xu Erlong said with a smile: "This thing definitely can't be done.
If they are sold together in one place, it is better for everyone to draw up the terms and conditions first, and make it clear who is on which side, so as not to mess around."
After saying this, as expected, those people began to discuss among themselves who would sell in which place.
Although there was a bit of a dispute, under the mediation of Luo Changshou, everyone finally reached some agreements, and everyone was designated in which area.
Then, everyone started loading and pulling furniture onto their own pallets.
The small courtyard that was almost filled with furniture suddenly seemed empty again.
Xu Chunsheng was frightened by this scene.
He and his apprentice have been working hard these days, and are still worried about whether it will be too much after making so much furniture.
Unexpectedly, a group of people turned around and cleared away all the furniture in one go.
No, you have to work harder and faster.
He used an electric saw to cut the boards, and the two apprentices were busy nailing them.
Xu Erlong saw that after these few days of training, the two apprentices had already done a good job.
After all, this thing is really simple.
Think about a certain home, which is all plate structure. Many people just buy it home and assemble it directly with a screwdriver. It is not a highly technical job at all.
Xu Erlong directly announced that the two of them were already skilled workers. From now on, they would receive twenty yuan per month in wages. Later, after they officially started working, the wages could be increased based on the daily production performance.
The apprentice named Luo Qiang was overjoyed when he heard this.
They say it takes a long time to learn a craft.
I didn't expect that here, I could get paid after only studying for a few days.
Moreover, after I officially start my career in the future, my salary can be increased even higher than that of factory workers. Why wouldn't this be exciting?
But another apprentice named Luo Zhiyong had a somewhat impure idea.
Why can I get twenty yuan as a salary by working as a worker here?
Luo Limin just sold a few sets of furniture and made more money in one day than he earned in a month.
When this thought came up, Luo Zhiyong felt a little unbalanced in his heart.
Seeing Luo Qiang still having fun there, Luo Zhiyong whispered to him: "What's the point of being so happy about this twenty yuan a month salary?"
"Why are you unhappy?" Luo Qiang said: "I can learn skills from you and earn wages. After I graduate, my wages can increase. When I save more capital, I may also learn to open my own furniture factory."
Luo Zhiyong said: "This is the Year of the Monkey. Look at Luo Limin, he earns more in one day than we do in a month."
Luo Qiang said: "People have the ability to earn this money. If I am a clumsy-tongued person who is afraid of dealing with people, I will just make money honestly by relying on my craftsmanship."
After all, not everyone in this world is eloquent and has the brains and means to do business.
Xu Erlong listened to the two people's mutterings and complaints without making any judgment.
After all, in this world, everyone has his or her own ambitions. Everyone has different habits and temperaments, and naturally their thoughts and practices are different.
Although doing business seems to be profitable, the risks are also high, and it is common to lose everything if you are not careful.
As for craftsmen, they may not make as much money as businessmen, but they will never be in debt.
