Chapter 8:
In the last three days of November, Jiang Xiao honestly wrote 20 papers, and when he came back from the holiday and started school again, his mind came alive. Once you buy something, you have to sell it, and the money only works when you get it.
After class, Jiang Xiao took the initiative to find someone. The girls in the next class really didn't expect that one sentence at that time, but Jiang Xiao really brought the goods back.
No matter what year they are, the purchasing power of the girls in the fan circle is very strong, not to mention that it is the things they are thinking about, plastic cards and stickers are cheaper, and the pictures on them are new, which are very different from those sold by the small shops at the door. In the same way, the girls like every stack they see. The bracelets are finely made and a little more expensive. One girl did not prepare any money, so she gritted her teeth and said, "You keep it for me, I will get pocket money next week, Definitely come to buy it!"
"It doesn't have to be like this," Jiang Xiao smiled, and the profiteer's breath showed a little bit, "I can give you this thing."
Most of the things he brought back were things that girls liked. After all, the simple market research he did before was in this direction, but Jiang Xiao didn’t know many girls, so he could only let this first batch of customers go. Help him spread the word.
The discs and cassettes Jiang Xiao brought back were also sold. At the beginning, when he went to the roadside video store, the other party saw that he was young. Although all the new products he brought, they chatted for a while and only said I didn't accept bulk cargo, so I sent Jiang Xiao away.
But these things were still sold. Thanks to those girls, the scope of making friends was really wide. People led people. After a week or two, even other middle school students found them.
Jiang Xiao's goods are new, and the price is a little cheaper than outside stores, about 20% off. In order to open up sales at the beginning, he also gave away some small things, which made the girls even happier. Those discs and The tapes all sold clean in the process.
So that when Jiang Xiao passed by the video store, the owner of the shop specially pulled him in and asked where the goods came from. Next time, if there is any, I will get some more. During this time, several people came to ask if there were any. , the goods in his store look a lot older.
Jiang Xiao was here this time: "Let's talk about it, I've sold all of them here, and now I don't have any."
The boss was also anxious: "A lot of people are asking now, student, if you spend more time looking for it, I'll give you more money."
"No, if you're in a hurry, ask someone else," Jiang Xiao packed his schoolbag, "I don't have time, so I need to study."
Although I want to hang up the boss, this is the truth. The mid-term exam is coming soon. He is very busy, and he has been doing paperwork recently. Next time he will go to Liujiang to buy goods, that will be after the mid-term exam.
It took more than a month for his two packs of goods to be shipped out in seven, seven, eight, eight, and the speed was already fast, far exceeding Jiang Xiao's expectations.
Probably because there is too much mismatch between the demand and supply in small towns this year, the gap is indeed large, the family is starting to have money, and some middle and high school students are also well-off, Jiang Xiao's thousands of dollars in goods, in front of this gap It's already very few. Last week, there was a rich girl in the second grade of the fifth middle school next door, and she took away items worth more than 300 yuan, including pencil bags, stickers, small cards, accessories, discs, etc. It doesn't feel expensive at all.
He earned a lot of money from this order. The price was calculated according to the current market price in the county. Jiang Xiao lowered it a bit, and if he bought more, he would get a discount and give away some small things.
However, the costs of his human warehousing and logistics are basically negligible. After calculation, after selling the goods for 3,000 yuan, in addition to returning Ye Yingying's more than 200 yuan, there are still more than 6,000 yuan left. , more than doubled.
Ye Bing's money Jiang Xiao will definitely pay back, but he
Uncle Ye's meaning is also very obvious. This money is neither urgent nor lacking for him. It means a little more encouragement. In the current situation, it is natural to have the greatest effect.
Jiang Xiao repaid Ye Yingying's money a long time ago, and he hadn't forgotten what he said earlier about giving him a gift. The gift was something he had long thought of. It was one of the most expensive things Jiang Xiao bought from Liujiang. He went to the best library in Liujiang, and bought a book of You Qing's illustrations, hardcover edition. , At a time when prices are generally low, his paintings are priced at RMB 128.
This is an illustrator who was also very famous later on. Jiang Xiao painted a movie poster that he liked very much. It was full of anger and agility. Although the 128-piece collection is expensive, the paper is good and the effect is good. Part of it also introduces the life of painter You Qing in detail, and describes how he struggled to study, was admitted to the best art academy in China, and then came to the present step by step.
Ye Yingying thought that Jiang Xiao would bring him something to eat or play, but who knew that the other party brought him a book back. He was about to complain, but the cover of the book caught his eye.
After Ye Yingying got the book, she stopped playing cards for a few days. Whenever she had free time, she looked at the book of paintings, flipped through it carefully, then looked at the black demon on her school uniform and frowned. Head, sighed for a while, and then tried to copy it by himself. He is very talented, but facing this level, his untrained three-legged cat level is beyond the reach of his horse.
"I also want to be as good as him."
Ye Yingying said to herself, his simple and unadorned teenage wish was like a seed of fire, which was ignited by Jiang Xiao at once.
Sometimes, life changes just in that moment.
Jiang Xiao can't take care of too many people. It's good that he can take care of himself at this time, but if there are other possibilities for people around him, he will naturally help if he can.
Jiang Xiao took this situation into account and didn't say a word. It wasn't until more than a week later that Ye Yingying took the initiative to ask him, "Brother Xiao, you told me about the art student...what's the situation?"
Jiang Xiao told him what he knew, Ye Yingying was not like before, he listened carefully, and then said, "I asked my dad to ask."
"Okay, tell your dad, and Houlin Yigao started recruiting art students last year," Jiang Xiao added, "You go to school now, you don't need so many points in the high school entrance exam, and then we can be together. Upper middle school."
Houlin No. 1 High School is the best high school in the county. The teaching is strict, and almost the best educational resources in the entire county are placed there. The teaching performance is ranked first in the whole city. By the time he got high school grades, his father had long been disappointed.
"Okay," Ye Yingying heard that she could still be classmates with Jiang Xiao, and seemed to have firmed up her mind. He finally asked happily, "I didn't expect such a good thing! Learning to draw It must be very interesting, much easier than studying to death!"
Jiang Xiao: "…"
He was suspiciously silent for a while.
Ye Yingying saw that his face changed a bit, and thought that he had been studying hard recently, and quickly apologized: "Brother Xiao, what, I didn't mean to scold you for studying hard."
"I know," how could Jiang Xiao be angry for such a sentence, he had that kind of smile on his face that was kind of like looking at a child, and when he looked closely, he felt the shadow of a profiteer, "Well, learning to draw is very easy, a little bit. Not tired, well, really."
Ye Yingying believed him in particular, and nodded stupidly.
During the half term of the third year of junior high, the two thorns who were sitting in the last row of class 15 gradually became obedient. They didn't skip classes or play cards. More than 800 grades at the bottom entered the top 500, and they have reached the middle of the grade. Everyone said that it was expected.
No one thought he was cheating. The teachers in the class could see how hard the student worked. He was the only one in class 15 who listened carefully to the class. After class and self-study, he often came to ask some questions. .
After all, middle school education is still within the nine-year compulsory education system. There are still quite a few public junior high schools in the county. There are four public junior high schools in Houlin County, and seven or eight in the towns below. Houlin No. 1 High School recruits about 1,000 per year A student, according to the previous score line of No. 3 Middle School, Jiang Xiao is still dangling on the admission line, the top 200 is stable, and the top 100 can be considered a guaranteed ticket.
Jiang Xiao was not complacent, he was still far from his goal, but calmly updated his study plan. Xia Wanwan was very pleasantly surprised. After seeing the result, she was very happy for several days. She hummed a song and made him a pot of stewed steak. It was Xia Wanwan's best dish. I haven't tasted this taste for more than ten years, and when I re-enter it, I naturally feel that this is the best thing in the world.
He is now living a prosperous life and everything is fine, and he has not thought of any accidents.
He didn't know that someone in Liu Jiang was looking for him crazy. That photo gave Lin Chengyu clues and hope, and on the other hand misled him.
