Traveling through the Eighth Five-Year Plan: Starting from selling fruit at a stall

Chapter 20
Qingpu University is about to start school, and Ling Yue originally wanted to take advantage of the school season to sell student supplies for a few days, but because Wang Zhaoyang went back to his hometown, this matter was put on hold for the time being.

Now that he is back, this matter has to be put on the agenda.

Fortunately, there are still two days of preparation time. She will be able to prepare all the small commodities related to students that she can think of in the morning tomorrow, and she can go to the university to test the water in the afternoon.

Success or failure, in one fell swoop.

Without a mobile phone and no entertainment, Ling Yue's work and rest became more and more regular.

When she leaves the stall at night, she will try her best to come back before nine o'clock, tidy up, and be in bed at ten o'clock on time.

Go to bed earlier today.

Since she didn't know when someone would show up at the small commodity wholesale market, Ling Yue was not in a hurry.

In the morning, she went to set up a stall to sell fruit as usual, and when the people in the morning market dispersed, she unloaded all the fruits when she got home, and then rode an empty car with money and went straight to the small commodity wholesale market.

Since she already had a goal, Ling Yue has also been here many times. As soon as she entered the market, she immediately selected pens, ink, notebooks, enamel water cups, toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, canvas bags and other goods. These small things looked quite cheap. Yes, but she couldn't hold back the amount of goods she wanted.

Half of the more than 700 yuan she brought went away in an instant.

Just as she was about to go home, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a tape seller on the side of the road.

Ling Yue is keenly aware that this small tape contains huge business opportunities!
Tapes were a very fashionable commodity in [-]. Hong Kong and Taiwan singers such as Mei Gu, Brother, Teresa Teng, and the principal were all representative figures at this time.

Especially Teresa Teng, since her song was brought to the mainland by Hong Kong businessmen in 1978, it has become very popular.

In addition, during the Spring Festival Gala in 40, Zhang Mingmin sang "My Chinese Heart" to the land of China. Even after [-] to [-] years, the popularity of this song is still quite high.

There are even some popular operas such as Peking Opera, Huangmei Opera, and Huagu Opera, which are popular among Peking opera enthusiasts.

Ling Yue, who was planning to go home, changed her mind and pushed the cart up immediately.

"Comrade, how do you sell these tapes?"

"How many boxes do you want?"

"Which celebrity songs are there?"

The boss picked up a tape and handed it over: "That's too much. The most popular song right now is "My Chinese Heart". As long as there is this song, the tape will not be sold."

Ling Yue took a look at the tape and asked, "How much is a box of this kind?"

"As much as you want, if you want more, it can be cheaper."

"About forty or fifty boxes."

The boss said bluntly: "Yes, the wholesale price is three yuan and five a box, you can sell it for ten or eight yuan, and you can make money and make money."

Ling Yue was speechless: "Why is it so expensive, can it be cheaper?"

The boss seems to be convinced of her, "This item is sold for one plate and one plate is less. Now those who have no way to get it can't get it. I can't guarantee whether it will be available in the future. Everyone is robbing."

"Now "My Chinese Heart" is so popular. You can play this song wherever you go. Even my seven-year-old son can sing it. I often sell out of stock, and many people can't buy it even if they want to buy it."

Ling Yue looked at the other tapes again, "Then do you have any other songs besides these?"

"There are many, like Teresa Teng's, Mei Gu's, Huangmei Opera "The Female Consort" and Peking Opera "Taking Tiger Mountain by Outsmarting" I have."

Ling Yue was surprised, "Aren't they celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan? How did you get these goods?"

"Don't worry about it, I have my channel anyway." The boss said proudly, "I can only say that my products are absolutely unique in Qingpu City. If you miss it, don't regret it."

Ling Yue gritted her teeth: "Okay, I want fifty copies of "My Chinese Heart", and give me another twenty tapes of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars."

"It's easy to talk about," the boss said with a smile on his face, "The price in Hong Kong and Taiwan is a bit more expensive, it costs four yuan a box."

Ling Yue summed up: "Okay, pack twenty boxes for me."

Seventy tapes cost her a total of 250 and five yuan.

Looking at a large bag full of tapes, Ling Yue felt a little uneasy.

She brought all the money in the family, a total of more than 700 yuan, but half of the [-] tapes went to her. She could only pray continuously, and these tapes must not be dropped in her hands.

She can go to test the water in the afternoon, and if the response is good, she might be able to buy some more.

Before leaving, Ling Yue specifically asked the boss for his contact information, but the boss was vague and said that he would set up a stall here every day.

Ling Yue understood, it seemed that there was something wrong with the origin of these tapes.

Arriving home at noon, I parked the car in front of Huang Guixiang, asked her to take care of it, and then went upstairs to cook.

After eating, Ling Yue took out the four large wooden planks that had been prepared a long time ago and put them on the carriage.

After entrusting Tongtong to Chen Zhaodi, she went out with Huang Guixiang.

Since Huang Guixiang didn't dare to ride a tricycle, she carried Ling Yue's fruit load and followed behind.

Upstairs, Yan Qingtian watched them go out with a cold face, chatting and laughing, and his face became more and more ugly.

Ever since his report to the factory manager was smashed by the two, he and Wang and Ji have not spoken to each other again.

Sun Juying was outraged, and whenever he wanted to make trouble for them, he kept suppressing them, so the two quarreled a lot.

Now, here's your chance.

He entered the house leisurely, and didn't know what he had said to Sun Juying. After a while, Sun Juying hurried out.

Ling Yue and Huang Guixiang came to the gate of Qingpu University and found that even at one or two o'clock, there were quite a few people setting up stalls around the school gate.

Most of them sell food, mainly buns and steamed buns, and many students rush into the school with large and small luggage.

Ling Yue first asked the popsicle stall owner where he could set up a stall, and the stall owner waved his hand casually: "As long as it's not at their school gate, you can set it up anywhere."

Ling Yue thanked her, and found a shade tree to unload the tricycle, put the wooden boards on the carriage, and put the things on it one by one.

Seeing Ling Yue arranging things in an orderly manner, Huang Guixiang suddenly realized: "I said, what do you want these boards for? It turns out that they are for displaying these small things."

Ling Yue placed the goods without raising her head: "Yes, since I plan to sell these things, I must be prepared!"

Huang Guixiang followed the fruit that had been sold for so long, and without her reminding, she laid out the fruit neatly next to her.

Before the two of them had finished setting things up, a female student came over to ask for the price.

"Boss, do you have sketch paper here?"

Ling Yue was taken aback for a moment. How dare you know that there is still an art major in Qingpu University?
She said apologetically to the student: "Student, I'm really sorry. It's my first time to set up a stall here. I really don't know what majors your university has. So, I will definitely bring them here tomorrow."

The female student obviously didn't expect such a result, and said: "Alright, I heard from my counselor that I need some special pencils for drawing, so you should prepare some."
