Chapter 11 There are always accidents
When I got home, my parents had returned and had received news from Xu Meng.
"Well done, son."
Wang Lingxiang never hesitates to praise her children's achievements.
His eyes were filled with pride.
"Thanks to my mother's support, otherwise I wouldn't even have enough money to purchase goods."
"You are my son, of course mom supports you."
Xu Liang smiled and turned his eyes.
"Dad, do you know who in our village has a farm tricycle?"
"I know, why?"
"There are too few three-wheeled motorcycles, so I can't bring people along with me while hauling goods. And riding in the morning is not covered, and it's too cold in the winter. I want to find a few three-wheeled motorcycles to use as trucks, and there are some Three wheels are also safer.”
"You are very considerate."
Seeing that his son has achieved great results, Xu Yongpei is also willing to support him.
"How many do you plan to find?"
"Let's find four first."
Xu Liang had no intention of rushing for success.
"Also. Mom and Dad, do you know what big gatherings will be held around our village tomorrow? Anything within thirty or forty kilometers will be fine."
"That's a lot."
Xu Liang took out a pen and paper and prepared to write a form based on time.
"You say."
"You all know the markets we often go to, so I won't go into details. Tomorrow, there are Xiazhuang and Qutun to the west, Zhuanpan and Donggezhuang to the north, Heguan and Malan to the east, and Gaoliu and Zhangzhuang to the south. , are all big collections." Xu Yongpei said.
"anything else?"
"Of course, Huojiatun, Lima..."
Xu Yongpei said a lot, and Wang Lingxiang added on the side. Their experience over the past forty years has given Xu Liang the greatest help.
After tabulating all the markets according to date and distance, he felt that four cars were too few.
However, he doesn't plan to expand too quickly. He will first take the first few steps steadily.
In the evening, his father started calling him to look for a car.
Four cars cost 50 yuan a day, which is 30 yuan cheaper than a Jiangling light truck.
Of course, the cargo capacity is also small. When Spring Festival Couplets sales reach their peak, he will still need a light truck with a larger cargo capacity. Just save a little now.
Xu Liang spent the evening preparing the Spring Festival couplets, plastic sheets, etc. requested by the fourth sales team.
Early the next morning.
Starting at half past five, the door outside Lao Xu's house became lively.
In addition to the nine people at the beginning, twelve more people came today.
Four sales teams certainly don’t need that many people.
But Xu Liang would rather spend money to train the team first.
He divided the twenty-one people into four teams. He was in charge of the first team, Huo Gang was in charge of the second team, and his sister Xu Meng was in charge of the third team.
"Sailor, you will be the captain of the fourth team."
Xu Liang handed over the belt bag and tweeter.
Xu Haibing, who has eyes and looks elegant, is second only to Xu Meng in academic performance, and has also been Xu Liang's best friend since childhood.
In my previous college entrance examination, I was admitted to Soochow University with a score of 630 points. Later, I was admitted to Fudan University as a graduate student. I stayed in Shanghai and started an Internet company. I heard that it was developing well.
Because the two sides were too far apart, the relationship gradually faded over the years.
"Thank you, Brother Liang."
"Today I'm going to Heguanji, the second team is going to Xiazhuangji, the third team is going to Zhuanpanji, and the fourth team is going to Zhuliangji. Still following the same method as yesterday, do you remember everything?"
"remember."
"Also, look carefully when collecting money, especially the big money of 500 yuan. You must look carefully. Yesterday, I received a fake bill of 20 yuan."
"Don't worry, Brother Liang."
"There are too many people today, so we won't eat at home. I'll give each of you two yuan for food, and you can buy and eat by yourself when you get to the market."
"That's all I have to say, who has anything else to do?"
Liu Qiang raised his hand, "Brother Liang, how can we get there with so many of us?"
"Don't worry, I've found a car for you. It should arrive soon."
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the unique sound of an agricultural tricycle in the distance.
Teng Teng Teng...!
The sound like drumming was getting closer and closer.
Soon he stopped outside Xu's house.
After briefly greeting the driver.
"Team four will set off first."
Come and go one at a time, and most of them will be leaving before 6:30.
The process of going to the market is no different from yesterday.
Sales were nearly 3,000 yuan more than yesterday, but costs increased a lot, and net profit only increased by 800 yuan.
In order to convert excess people into qualified leeks as much as possible.
On the third day he established the fifth and sixth teams.
Sales also officially exceeded 10,000.
The seventh and eighth teams were established on the fourth day.
In order to keep up with the skyrocketing sales, he bought another 50,000 yuan worth of goods.
But things don't always go smoothly.
"Brother Liang, I...I don't want to do it anymore."
Looking at the first person who came to the door to resign, Xu Liang was not angry.
He had expected this day.
There are always various surprises in life, and the salary of 20 yuan a day is just the market price.
"Lin Bing, who bullied you? If there is someone, tell me and I will take care of him for you."
Xu Linbing waved his hand quickly, looking a little dodgey.
"No, no, everyone is very nice to me. It's just that, there is too much farm work at home, and my parents can't do it, so they want me to help."
Xu Liang smiled and said this to fool outsiders.
They all live in the same village, so no one knows who is who.
His father drinks and plays cards all day long and is not a decent person. His mother helps people pack food boxes and charges by the piece. Even if he wants to help, they think he is too young and can't work, so he doesn't want to.
But everyone wants to save face, especially young people, so he didn’t expose it.
"Okay, then you don't have to come tomorrow."
"Thank you, Brother Liang."
Xu Linbing breathed a sigh of relief.
Patted him on the shoulder and sent him out the door.
"You can come back to me anytime you want."
"Um."
Watch the other person go away and then turn around and go home.
After closing the door and returning to my room, a large number of Spring Festival couplets already occupied more than half of the space. Xu Liang was left with only a place to sleep.
Xu Meng was counting today's income in bed.
"Brother, we sold 14,000 today, which is higher than yesterday."
Xu Liang nodded. It is certain that the sales volume of Spring Festival couplets will increase as time goes by.
"Keep the change and pack the rest for me."
Xu Meng agreed.
"By the way, brother. Why is Lin Bing looking for you?"
"He doesn't want to do it anymore."
"Quit? He's stupid. Twenty yuan a day is more than Aunt Guihua makes by pretending to be vegetables. Why doesn't he quit?"
"Everyone has their own ambitions, so if you don't want to do it, just don't do it. Whatever your classmate wants to do, call her later and ask her to come over tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go give her a shot right away."
Seeing his sister pushing out the door in a hurry, Xu Liang collected the money on the bed, leaving three thousand to make change. Put the rest in a bag and deposit it in the bank when you go to the market tomorrow.
There are more people now. Although people come back early after selling Spring Festival couplets every day, it takes a lot of time to restock.
The bank has closed long ago.
