The Era of Hard Work

  Chapter 41 The seller's market (recommended ticket for collection)

   The east wind brings the coolness of the morning, the sun climbs hard to the horizon, the welcome banner is pulled up at the entrance of the School of Finance, and some old students are busy in front of the school entrance, making final preparations for the welcome work.

   "What's going on on the other side?" Someone from the student union asked, "The banner we're pulling?"

  Across the wide and straight road, the banners hang high between the two green trees, and the large characters are very eye-catching - daily necessities, high quality and low price!

  Is this a stall?

  Lü Dong pulled up the banners, planted colorful flags, and laid tarpaulins on the checkered brick floor. This area is quite wide. Even if the fence of the shop construction site sticks out, it still looks like a small square.

   can't be placed at the gate of the school. Lu Dong still has this point.

After opening the small Jialing bucket, basins, slippers, soap, water cups, toothbrushes, toothpaste, mirrors, combs, mosquito coils, mosquito nets, fans, clothes hangers, convenience bags, bottled water, washing powder and balsamic oil, etc., one by one according to the category Put it away.

The sun umbrella was inserted in the specially modified place behind the car body, Lu Dong wrapped his wallet around his waist, sat behind the stall with Maza to check the bag, the hard cigarette case with pets was still placed in the outer mezzanine, and adjusted the small tape recorder and electric horn. , and press the play key.

   stretched out the electric horn in half of the bag, and immediately shouted loudly.

   "Daily necessities, sunstroke and mosquito repellants, beverage bottled water, toiletries, everything!"

   Regardless of the banner or the shout, it is a reminder to the upcoming students that there is also an option to buy essentials!

The loud voice of    crossed the road and even spread to the opposite school.

   In the big store next to the student cafeteria, Wang Qian flipped her thin lips: "Sui Bo, are the goods in the warehouse ready?"

  The middle-aged Sui Bo is in the small warehouse behind the store: "It's all ready, I left the phone number of the old king of the market, and he can deliver at any time."

Wang Qian used to work in the Quannan State-run shopping mall. Although she was a front-line salesperson, she had some business sense and walked towards the door: "There are thousands of students in the school, and they are concentrated in two or three days. They must buy a lot of things. Let's strive for these two days. First, pay back the bill owed to the store!"

   She came to the door and opened the door, and fresh air came in. Sure enough, every day was a new day, a day full of hope.

  Wait, what kind of sound is that?

  Wang Qian listened carefully, it seemed like the sound of the broadcast, too far away, could not hear clearly.

  The school has buses going to the train station and bus station to pick up students, and they will not be able to come back at this time.

  Lu Dong sat under the sun umbrella and waited patiently.

The sound of the    electric horn spread far and wide, and no customer came. A van came looking for it. Before the car arrived, the rear seat glass was lowered, and an electric horn was also extended.

   "What are you doing! What are you doing!" A shout with a Qingzhao accent sounded: "What about you! You set up a street stall!"

  The van stopped suddenly, the co-pilot waved his hand to the back, and the electric horn went muted.

   The big-headed man got off the co-pilot and walked towards Lu Dong.

   Lu Dong greeted: "Brother Wang, it's so early!"

  Dynasty's electric horn pointed: "Lower the sound, don't be too loud, pay attention to the impact."

   "Come on!" Lu Dong knew what to do, so he hurriedly turned down the sound of the electric horn, asked the dynasty for advice sensible, and turned it off for the time being.

Wang Chao rushed out of the car and beckoned: "Come here!" When the people came, he pointed at Lu Dong: "Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu. This is my brother, Lu Dong, from that stupid donkey at the police station. Brother."

  This society is a reality, and several people immediately looked at Lu Dong.

Lu Dong knew how to be a man, so he quickly took out his white cigarettes, scattered them one by one, and stuffed the rest into Wang Chao's hands. He went to get bottled water, and directly picked up 12 bottles: "It's hot when the sun comes out, so take it to relieve the heat. "

   Several people looked at the dynasty. If it was someone else, the dynasty would definitely not want it, but they were polite to Lu Dong: "Take it."

  The person who called Zhao Hu immediately took it and said to Lu Dong with a smile, "Thanks, brother."

   Lu Dong asked the dynasty: "Brother Wang, is there any problem with the stall here?"

   "Don't turn on the loudspeaker too much, don't affect the school's opening, it's fine." Wang Chaoan Lv Dongxin: "There are documents on it to encourage casual workers to work flexibly in the university town."

   In fact, I hope that the university town can come alive as soon as possible.

  Dynasty knew that the social order was not very good, so he specially warned: "Today this is the key point. Your brother and I are all around, so don't panic and don't mess around."

   This is a reassurance pill, Lu Dong said, "I see."

   Lu Dong said a few more polite words to the others, and these people got into the car and left.

   Watching the van drive away, Lu Dong knew that as long as he didn't do too much, the biggest natural enemy of the joint law enforcement team would no longer be a problem.

   He turned on the electric horn, and the slightly smaller shouts spread again.

   Soon, a patrolling police van passed by. Lu Dong saw someone from the co-pilot waving here, it was Lu Chun.

  The van was parked at the gate of the opposite school, as if communicating with the school. Three people, including Lu Chun, stayed behind to help maintain order.

  The above also attaches great importance to the first opening day of the university town.

  The sun rose, a bus came from Quannan and stopped directly at the school gate. A large number of students and parents got off the bus, and the school gate became busy.

   However, Lu Dong's side was still deserted, and he was the only one sitting under the sun umbrella.

   A lot of people looked here curiously because of the banners, bunting and electric horns, but they soon entered the school.

   Lv Dong never went to university, but he watched TV, and it was the first priority for the parents of the students to report.

As the sun rose and the weather gradually became hot, Lu Dong fanned the fan, and a relatively new minibus came from the direction of the county town. Because another bus stopped at the gate of the school, the car simply stopped on the north side of the road. This side of the construction site.

   The teacher who picked up the bus got off first, followed by students and parents one after another. There was no air conditioning in the minibus, and many people were panting from the heat.

The    loudspeaker advertisements and piles of bottled water attracted the attention of some people.

  A male student in a brand-new sports suit came over: "Boss, get a bottle of water."

   "Come on!" Lu Dong was very enthusiastic, stood up and said, "Pulis pure water is 1 yuan and 5 yuan, and Sprite Coke is 4 yuan..."

  The male student was hot and thirsty, so he paid directly: "Two bottles of pure water."

   Lu Dong took the money and fetched water. The male student unscrewed a bottle, poured a third of it, went back with the water, and handed one of the bottles to his father who wore glasses.

   A matriarch brought the child over: "Boss, a bottle of Sprite."

   Lu Dong was still smiling and enthusiastic: "4 yuan."

   The matriarch frowned: "Isn't it all 3 yuan?"

   Lu Dong explained seriously: "It's remote here, the purchase of goods is far away, and the cost is high..."

   The matriarch muttered, paid for a bottle of Sprite, and handed it to her son: "It's so dark!"

   Lu Dong was already mentally prepared, and he didn't return his mouth. He still smiled and had an excellent attitude.

  It is a comparison between the noble and the low. After seeing the store in the school, they will understand that this is a good boss with a cheap price and a conscience.

  The goods sold in the school store are at least double the retail price outside.

   Lu Dong is much more conscientious than they are, and he doubles the wholesale purchase price from the West Market.

   There are also people coming to buy water from the school, but more people choose to go to the school. The school provides boiled water for free, as long as there is a cup.

   In addition, there is a quick sign near the school entrance, which is marked with a store. Many people think that a store is always more reliable than a street stall outside.

   After handling the registration and handover, finishing the dormitory check-in procedures, and getting the bedding, the matriarch led her son into the eight-person dormitory.

  Because they came early, they were the first batch of students and parents to enter the dormitory.

  The brand new dormitory still smells of paint, and the hardware is generally good, much better than the ten-person pigeon cage in high school.

   But soft conditions…

  The weather in Quannan is sultry and hot, the dormitory is like a steamer, there is no fan, and there are many mosquitoes. After a while of packing, the matriarch has several bags on her face and arms.

  Looking at my son again, the tip of his nose is a lot higher.

   "There are a lot of things to buy." The matriarch said to her son: "I brought toothpaste and toothbrush from home, I need to keep mosquitoes away..."

  The son took a sip of Sprite and said, "There is a store in the school."

  The matriarch thought of the unpleasant experience of buying Sprite, picked up the valuables, and said, "Come on, let's go to the store."

   Came to the big store next to the cafeteria. There were a lot of people here, but most of them were watching, and not many were actually bought.

  The matriarch went in and took a look. There was a price tag on the shelf at the door, under the beverage area, 3 yuan for ordinary bottled water, 6 yuan for Sprite...

  This price is skyrocketing!

   Looking further inside, the prices of various daily necessities are at least twice as expensive as those sold in the home store.

   For example, for a broken plastic basin, you dare to ask for 8 yuan, and the thin one holds half a basin of water, and it will definitely deform when you hold it!

black! too dark!

   At the checkout place at the door, someone was complaining about the high price. The lady boss in a round neck shirt pursed her thin lips and was about to look at people through her nostrils: "If you think it's too expensive, you don't need to buy it."

  Wang Qian used to work in a state-run shopping mall and thought she was used to seeing tricky customers, so she couldn't give them a good face!

   Looking at the person on the other side who wanted to wipe off the odds, Wang Qian wanted to spray him: Do you know that this is a seller's market!

  The matriarch was hesitating, but her son was very sensible and came over and said, "Mom, why don't we go outside and have a look?"

  Thinking of the dark-skinned stall owner and the always enthusiastic smile on his face, the matriarch pulled up her son and left: "Let's go to the stall at the school gate and have a look."

   These words are not too loud, but not too small. Many people have heard them and thought of the scenes they saw when they got off the bus.

Yup! Although the shops in the school are as dark and expensive, they are not the only choice. There are also shops selling things at the gate of the school!

   Some people, like matriarchs and mothers, went out of the store to the school gate, and some people still chose the store.

  The influence of business premises on people cannot be ignored.

   Especially for those who are not short of money, even if the same product is faced with street stalls and regular stores, they will definitely choose the latter.

   Wang Qian vaguely heard someone talking about the stalls, but she was busy paying the bills and didn't take it too seriously.

   Walking up the spacious main road of the school, through the open gate of the school, you can see the banner that Lu Dong hangs high, and the demonic trumpet sound is also faintly floating over, the closer you get to the school gate, the clearer it becomes.

  As many parents completed the check-in procedures, some people who noticed Lv Dong’s booth before chose to come out and take a look.

  The things in the school are too expensive. Most of the people in this era are in average conditions, even if they save ten yuan or eight yuan, it is good.

  The matriarchs belonged to the group that completed the formalities earlier, and Lu Dong had just sent off the two groups when they came.

   "Hello." With a warm smile on Lu Dong's dark face, he tried his best to ask in Mandarin, "What do I need."

  The matriarch picked up a plastic basin and touched it. It was quite thick and of good quality. She asked Lu Dong, "How much?"

   Lu Dong smiled and opened his hand: "Five dollars!"

  The matriarch put down: "The school has hair pots."

   "I just posted one, right." Lu Dong said with a smile: "The dormitory building is a public washroom, and it would be difficult to occupy a tap at that time. Can't you just use a basin to wash your face, feet, socks, and underwear?"

  The matriarch's son picked up the basin.

(Tell me about my personal experience of the seller's market. About six or seven years ago, the Xiuyuan River Scenic Spot was just built here. I am a big star from the provincial film and television station and I rushed forward happily to the scenic spot to do activities on May 1st. Brothers and the others won the bid for the maintenance of the Xiuyuan River Scenic Spot at that time. You can imagine how much they paid. The place where the event was held was closed, and tickets were sold to the outside world. There was only one kiosk inside. My second brother got the right to use it for free. A profiteer, the most expensive water I have ever sold is five yuan. My sister-in-law sold it for ten yuan a bottle. The three items, including drinks, snacks and lunch boxes, were sold for more than 37,000 yuan on May Day. With a turnover of 100,000, the profit is high.)

   (Of course, I can't be envious. A few years ago, the head of the scenic spot management bureau told my brother that he wanted to sell the house, 120 square meters. At that time, the normal house price was less than 5,000. Then they paid 100.)
