National Tide 1980.

Chapter 349 Good reputation

Undoubtedly, the success of direct sales of tobacco and alcohol will not be limited to Mr. Zhang Shihui.

In this era when information transmission is still very closed, the sales model of acquaintances bringing goods "created" by Ning Weimin is invincible.

Even if it is copied to the courtyard where Zhang Shihui lives, and the Chongwenmen Hotel where Liu Weijing works, the effect is also remarkable.

Let’s take Dazayuan as an example. Although the population density and social scope of bungalows are not as high as those of high-rise buildings, the efficiency of selling tobacco and alcohol will definitely be greatly reduced.

But if you look at the entire hutong, there are hundreds of households.

In addition, there are no secrets in the alley, and the benefits of cheap things are obvious

Then when the news spread among the neighbors in the neighborhood, there will be a lot of demands.

In fact, as long as Zhang Shihui lives in the same alley.

It doesn’t matter whether you know someone you know or not, you have a good friendship or a half-familiar face, or you meet every day and say “Have you eaten?”, or even a “toilet friend” who squatted in the toilet together.

They are like the residents in the building, and no one will let such benefits pass away from them.

Changing the method will also find excuses, draw connections, and go to Zhang Shihui's house to buy goods.

In this way, when the situation slowly ferments, the shipments will become very objective.

In fact, it is not much inferior to the building where the Liu family lives.

Of course, the side effect of this is that it must be quite troublesome to deal with these more and more people who are found here and there, which is enough to cause headaches.

However, the good thing about the courtyard is that it has a clear hierarchy.

Because Zhang Shihui's rooms are in the inner courtyard.

Whoever wants to go to the Zhang family has to pass through two or three other families first.

Strangers entering the hospital must be interrogated by Zhang's neighbors, which is almost like having a sentry.

And because life in a courtyard is more inconvenient than in a building, the friendship between neighbors who live in a bungalow in the same courtyard and share weal and woe is somewhat closer than that of the people in the building.

In this way, those neighbors in the same courtyard who obtained the right to sell tobacco and alcohol from Zhang Shihui are naturally very willing to do it for them, so as to save Zhang Shihui from being frequently harassed.

Even when these neighbors sold a favor and were appreciated by others, they did not forget to set up a monument for Zhang Shihui.

By the way, he also gained a good reputation that he had never thought of, and he was more and more valued by the neighbors in the whole alley.

No, don't look at what Zhang Shihui really didn't do.

But almost every day, these neighbors in the same yard as him.

Always talk to each other about his benefits when he is not around and they have time to spare.

To be honest, it is a bit close to advocating hard.

Just like this day's off-duty time, the neighbors in the courtyard gathered together to pick and wash vegetables, and they chatted like this again.

On one side is Uncle Li at the gate of the courtyard choosing leeks.

"...I said his second aunt, Xiao Zhang in our yard really didn't say anything, he was called Yirenyi, he opened a tobacco shop, and he didn't earn any money from us. His cigarettes and alcohol are given to us big guys, which is comparable to a store. Much cheaper. Look at the humanity..."

At the other end is the second aunt of the Liu family who washes vegetables in a vegetable basin with a water pipe.

"No, his uncle, a "Yellow River" can be [-] cents cheaper than the official price of a non-staple food store. Our family and our two sons can now save two yuan a month for cigarettes alone. That's great." For the matter, I really have to thank Xiao Zhang. And just these cheap cigarettes, our colleagues in the work unit have also been wiped out. Why do you think Xiao Zhang is so capable? He took care of these good things. How many people..."

Just as he was talking, Tokuko, who worked in the towel factory, pushed his bicycle into the courtyard again.

This kid is almost 26 and seven, and he doesn't have a date yet, so he lives in a small bungalow by himself.

And no matter the unit or the courtyard, he is an unpopular young man.

This ear heard it, and sure enough, I couldn't help but interjected.

"Hey, Second Aunt, let me ask, the head of your family won't sell the unit at the original price, right? Hey, are you stupid? Why don't you know how to add more money. Let me tell you, these cigarettes and alcohol You can’t be short of anyone, if you add 80 cents, there will still be people rushing to ask for it. Otherwise, you can also learn from me, I have sold more than [-] pieces in the past two days, earning more than [-] yuan..."

Aunt Liu curled her lips when she heard this.

"Hey, Dezi, I don't like to hear your words anymore? Are you stupid? Xiao Zhang didn't earn your money either. Is it so embarrassing to cooperate with you to earn money from acquaintances?"

Tokuko didn't care about such a short fight, and he answered the words steadily.

"Look at what you said, don't compare me with Xiao Zhang! He is rich and powerful, and he started early. I am a thin horse and a long man, and a poor man with a short heart. Besides, back then, Xiao Zhang was the first I was the one who introduced him to the business. He can be today, thanks to me bringing him in. He wants to earn my money, so I’m embarrassed..."

Uncle Li is also a little uncomfortable.

"Dezi, look at your tone, you are not afraid of your tongue being blown away by the wind. You brought Xiao Zhang to the door? I knew you led him into the ditch. I think you were the one who introduced the southern fruit business to others. Did Xiao Zhang feel bad? And you were the one who ate too much fruit at the beginning. When something happened, you stayed away. They didn’t remember you later, so you just miss him.”

Tokuko couldn't bear these words.

"Oh, I said uncle, the conscience of heaven and earth. If I could have thought that I would lose money, why would I introduce it to Xiao Zhang? Isn't this unpredictable in the business world? I am really not that kind of person, no matter how messed up I can't cheat my neighbors Ah. Rabbits still don’t eat the grass beside the nest, do they…”

And he also has a knack for telling crooked reasons, and when he changed the subject, it became his reason for making money.

"...So it comes back to the word. Now Xiao Zhang has sent the money to us. What a rare and good opportunity. If we miss it, we will let him down. The money is not earned for nothing. You have to think about it this way, isn’t it cheaper for us to add some more than the ones sold in the store? What’s so embarrassing about that?”

Uncle Li didn't bother to pester him any longer, he knew that this kid was always justified, so he simply decided to lose a few words to relieve his hatred.

"Hey, brat, just be hypocritical. You always have your fallacies. It is said that self-employed people are taking advantage of money. In my opinion, you are only taking advantage of money. If you do like this, you can't make a fortune. You'd better talk to others Xiao Zhang learn how to be a man, learn how to be a man first, then you can do business..."

Unexpectedly, Tokuko froze his head and refused to admit it.

"Look at what you said, you really wronged me. Who can't be a man? But face is exchanged for tickets. Of course I know that I have made money, so I should be mean to Xiao Zhang. Are there any contacts? , people will take me to play in the future. But what do you mean when you say that I only earn this? Xiao Zhang sells cigarettes and alcohol himself, so he still needs to drink? I want a small restaurant in the alley to invite him Let's rub it together, it's too shabby..."

Just at this time, two more strangers entered the yard. Dezi had a sharp eye, and took the lead to cross the car, and yelled to go up.

"What are you doing, who are you looking for? Make it clear before you go in..."

Both of them were a little embarrassed, and the older one hurriedly explained.

"Ah? We live in the No. 11 courtyard at the entrance of the Hutong. I heard from people in our courtyard that there is a comrade named Zhang in our courtyard. His cigarettes and alcohol are cheaper than those sold in the store. We just want to ask, can you You can't just sell it to us because of the neighbors who live in the same alley..."

"Yes. Come with me. I'll have Xiao Zhang's cigarettes and alcohol. I guarantee that I won't earn any money from you..."

"Don't thank me, don't be so polite, everyone is a neighbor. It's not just the two of you who came here. There are too many people in our alley, and Xiao Zhang has already left a message. Everyone should take care of each other..."

"You're welcome, we're all in the light of Xiao Zhang. Have you met Xiao Zhang? It's just the young couple who just got married in our alley this year. Yes, there were a lot of cars coming that day, and the young couple usually dressed in western style... ..."

Uncle Li was afraid that Dezi would make money from others, so before the visitor finished speaking, he picked up his leeks and took the two visitors into his room.

Seeing that Dezi swallowed regretfully, and cursed "silly uncle" from the bottom of his heart, he pushed the cart and walked into the courtyard.

But when he saw the dishes that Second Aunt Liu had washed, the kid stopped again.

With a hippie smile, he insisted on rubbing two small cabbages and taking them back to face to face.

The second aunt didn't bother to care about it, she wiped her hands, and gave two trees to Dezi, allowing him to take advantage of it.

Unexpectedly, the lack of greed, this kid actually kicked his nose and face, and thought that the tree given to him had bug eyes.

The second aunt was simply annoyed.

"You bastard, why is it not enough to take advantage of it? You still pick it for nothing? I just gave it to you because it has bug eyes..."
