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

Chapter 7 A Prophecy

Wang Zhaoyang had already done it just now, even if it only cost 800 yuan to rent a shop, Ling Xiaoyue had to sell fruit for a month, rain or shine.

"Then you don't have to do it for more than a month, rain or shine?"

Ling Yue didn't care at all. She put the bag in her bag and said, "Do you think the business of Suli will be better in the next two days than today?"

"No, you're wrong. In the next two days, or even in the next ten days and a half months, the business of Zaosuli will definitely not be as good as it is today."

She analyzed: "The Zaosu pears we sell today are the first shipments of this year. Many vendors dare not eat too much for fear that they will fall into their hands. But tomorrow, more Zaosu pears will definitely arrive. .”

Ling Yue admitted that the reason why she said the more the better was that she was blinded by the petty gains in front of her eyes.

After she calmed down, she realized that unless she could control the first-hand supply, she would be powerless to prevent more Zaosu pears from flowing into the market.

Her business is good today, and the big guys are eating fresh, so the pears are sold so fast and the price is so good.

Tomorrow, there will definitely be other street vendors who will buy Zaosu pears to compete with her.

She knows how the business is revitalized and how it is killed.

"Wait another week or so, and Zaosu pears will be on the market in large quantities. At that time, it will be harder to sell and the price will be cheaper."

"So, tonight I will only buy goods worth 60 yuan at most."

The goods worth 60 yuan weighed more than 200 catties.

Wang Zhaoyang quickly calculated: "Two hundred catties, is it too much?"

"It's not much, I think it's going to be so much." After a pause, Ling Yue rubbed the center of her brows, her tone a little helpless: "Believe it or not, you won't be able to sell it at such a good price today, it's estimated to sell for [-] cents a catty. Some are there, some are even lower."

Wang Zhaoyang felt even worse after hearing this.

Originally, he was still fantasizing that he could become a ten thousand household in one year, but after hearing Ling Yue's words, he realized that this is not realistic at all!

He was silent for a moment, then asked Ling Yue: "Then what are you going to do?"

"Selling fruit is just a transition, take your time."

Ling Yue's words became a prophecy.

In the evening, the two of them had an early dinner and rushed to the fruit and vegetable market. When they arrived, they found that there were already two truckloads of crispy pears waiting.

What made Wang Zhaoyang even more speechless was that maybe they sold really well today, there were many vendors who bought hundreds of catties in one go, and Ling Yue also saw many familiar faces among them.

Originally, Ling Yue thought that when there was an extra truckload of goods, the price would be lowered appropriately, but when she excitedly approached the boss in the morning to ask the price, the boss's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, and he insisted on twenty cents The price does not let go.

He even refused to admit that he said in the morning that there would be a discount if he bought five hundred catties.

Hearing that Ling Yue only wanted two hundred catties of goods, he suddenly lost interest, arranged for someone to weigh them, and hid aside to rest.

By the time they shipped the Zaosu pears to their home and put them away, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Thinking of getting up early tomorrow to sell pears, the two of them hurriedly washed up and went to bed. At six o'clock the next day, Ling Yue made breakfast.

As soon as he arrived at the market, before he put down his pole, Ling Yue saw two or three fruit vendors put pears on the market.

They poured the pears on the nylon cloth at will, and sat on the edge waiting for customers to come to the door.

Lingyue also brought the nylon cloth, but she didn't want to casually throw it on the ground like they did. Since today's business was destined to fail, she was not in a hurry to sell, but slowly stacked the pears one by one until the pears were piled up. into a pyramid shape.

Due to the large number of people selling, she waited for half an hour before opening.

Seeing this scene, Wang Zhaoyang couldn't help but frowned.

"Xiaoyue, today is really incomparable with yesterday. Fortunately, I listened to you and didn't make much progress."

Ling Yue comforted him like a normal person: "It's okay, we live close together, we can't sell it during the day, but we can sell it at night."

Wang Zhaoyang hummed lightly.

"What did I say yesterday?" Ling Yue said half-jokingly, "I said that there are many people who sell for [-] cents a catty today. If you don't believe me, go ask them and see how much they sell."

Wang Zhaoyang was stunned, then raised his legs and walked over there.

After more than ten minutes, he came back dejectedly, and said: "Today, there are pear sellers everywhere in the market. It is exactly as you said. Some people sell them for thirty cents a catty."

"You only earn two cents per catty. This kind of business is really a shame."

He couldn't help worrying about the more than 200 catties of pears in his hand: "Xiaoyue, we still have so many pears, can we sell them all?"

Ling Yue was really not worried at all, and said, "Don't worry, Zaosu pears are durable to storage, and they won't go bad after ten days and half a month at home."

"Besides, if I can't sell it in the morning, I can still sell it along the street and use my own ability to make money. It's neither embarrassing nor illegal."

It would be nice if there was a refrigerator at home.

If Zaosu pears are out of the market and then sold, they will definitely fetch a high price.

Of course, I can only think about it now. Even if there is cold storage now, the price is definitely not what they can afford now.

It wasn't until the morning market was over that Ling Yue sold about [-] catties with all his efforts.

Watching the sun rise, Ling Yue resolutely closed the stall: "It's not for sale anymore, let's go back."

Seeing that Ling Yue and his wife had picked out a load of pears in the morning, and there was only half of the load of pears left when they returned, the family courtyard immediately felt at ease.

"I said that they are not suitable for business. Fortunately, they were busy until midnight yesterday and didn't go to sleep. As a result, they didn't sell out all the pears today! This business is for them, tsk tsk!"

"Sister Huang, why don't you go buy some and try something new?"

"If you want to buy it, I bought it yesterday. Now, I won't eat anything that can't be sold for nothing."

"You said that this person is too stingy, and he doesn't understand the world at all. You said that so many of us are sitting here with children, not to mention sharing one for us adults, and giving one to children will not be enough for him!"

"I said, why are your eyelids so shallow? I asked in the market, and that kind of green pear only sells for thirty cents a catty."

"No way, it's so cheap? I heard it was sold for [-] cents yesterday!"

"I really didn't realize that these two people are so dark. Let me tell you, no matter how good the things in their house are, we don't want to buy them."

Ling Yue came to the water room with a basin of dirty clothes, and happened to hear Huang Guixiang's last words.

She pretended not to hear her entering the water room, and the sound in the water room stopped abruptly.

Huang Guixiang poked Chen Zhaodi who was beside her with her elbow, and motioned her to inquire.

Chen Zhaodi hesitated and approached Ling Yue, and asked in a low voice, "Miss Xiaoyue, I saw you selling fruit in the market today, how is the business?"

Ling Yue took half a basin of water, quickly soaked the dirty clothes in the water, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's better than staying at home and doing nothing, spending money and asking a man to beg for it."

Ling Yue's words immediately offended everyone in the water room.
