Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Gao Mingcheng planned well. After preparing the bits and pieces, he was ready to leave for Yangcheng.

Before leaving, Duo Mei asked her whether she would sell the goods at the mall counter herself or hire someone to sell the goods.

Regarding this, Gao Mingcheng had already made plans, of course he wanted to hire a clerk!

He just hasn't decided who to invite yet, or he could just put up a recruitment poster at the counter.

Many beauties have no one to recommend, so they can only follow Gao Mingcheng's arrangements.

Just when Gao Mingcheng was considering whether to put up a recruitment poster, Xiao Jinfeng found him.

"Mingcheng, I heard that you have rented the counter in the mall? Do you really plan to sell Xiaobawang game consoles? I also asked someone about that, and bought two to play at home. It is indeed quite interesting. But although It is much cheaper than the Famicom, but the game console costs more than 200, and the cassette costs more than 100. This price is probably a bit expensive in the county. "

Xiao Jinfeng is a little worried that the game console will not sell well.

The selling price is expensive, and the purchase price is not much cheaper. Gao Mingcheng has to spend a lot of money to buy a truck of goods.

Xiao Jinfeng was a little worried about this, but Gao Mingcheng was not worried.

The salary of ordinary people in the county is mostly about 150 yuan a month. If you want to buy a Xiaobawang game console and cassette, it will cost you two months' salary!

This sounds like a lot, but you must know that people at the moment have no idea of ​​buying a house. They either live in self-built houses or in dormitories assigned by their work units. Although they don’t have much money, they are still willing to spend money.

Men are willing to spend several months of salary to buy a good watch, and women are willing to spend several months of salary to buy a good-looking and fashionable coat.

The same is true for color TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines. Now, with the addition of game consoles, it seems that it is not impossible to save money to buy them.

In June next year, Little Overlord will invest 40 yuan to broadcast its first advertisement on CCTV, which is the "Little Overlord Competition" prize-winning sales activity of "owning a Little Overlord, creating a household worth yuan."

Since then, Xiaobawang has embarked on a 10-year period of glory. Its sales volume once ranked first in the domestic game console market, and its market share even reached 80% at its peak.

If the demand is stable, then it is okay to rent a counter to sell goods before June next year, and the return on investment will be faster.

But one thing Gao Mingcheng took into consideration was that once the Little Overlord launches high-profile publicity, it will become difficult to purchase goods. Therefore, he plans to establish a good relationship with Zhongshan before the Little Overlord game console becomes popular. If necessary, You can jump in line to purchase goods, otherwise you would send a driver to load the goods and have to wait for several days because there is no goods, which is a waste of time and money.

Gao Mingcheng smiled and said: "Brother Xiao, don't worry. I'm the only one selling them in the county now. Even if there are few people buying them, there are still people buying them. Besides, it's not like food will expire on game consoles, so just sell them slowly."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Xiao Jinfeng stopped trying to persuade him and changed the subject: "Have you found someone to look after the store for you? If you haven't found one, I have someone here."

"Who is it?" Gao Mingcheng asked directly. If the candidate is suitable, he can just use the person recommended by Xiao Jinfeng.

We are all friends, it’s just a matter of favor!

At first, Gao Mingcheng thought that Xiao Jinfeng introduced his relatives and friends to come over to work, but who knew that the person Xiao Jinfeng introduced was actually known to Gao Mingcheng.

"Song Jinzhang?" Gao Mingcheng read the name, and things related to Song Jinzhang gradually emerged in his mind.

He had interacted with Song Jinzhang several times. This girl was indeed quite clever, but she had bad luck and encountered misfortune when she went to Yangcheng to purchase goods. Fortunately, she was rescued in time.

But because of that incident, I later heard that Song Jinzhang no longer went to Yangcheng alone to purchase goods.

As for what Song Jinzhang is doing now, he naturally doesn't care.

Xiao Jinfeng nodded and said with certainty: "That's her! Her father is the manager of the department store. She grew up in the department store since she was a child. She is very familiar with it. Plus the relationship between her and her father, she must be It will be less troublesome for her to look after the store there.”

The department store is a shopping mall that has existed in the county for a long time. It sounds like a building, but in fact it has only two floors. Gao Mingcheng rented a slightly off-center location on the first floor.

In the past, the business of department stores was very good, and there would be no empty counters to rent to individuals. However, with the development of the economy, more and more self-employed people have become more and more selective in purchasing goods. Therefore, department stores are now gradually starting to Lonely.

But there are still three pounds of nails left in the broken ship. Today's department stores are still places with a lot of traffic. And until the concept of supermarkets became popular in the county, department buildings were demolished and replaced by supermarkets of various sizes.

People in later generations are accustomed to shopping in various supermarkets and specialized stores, and there are basically no department stores anymore.

Gao Mingcheng didn't plan to open a store now, so he planned to rent a counter in the mall. He planned to sell it first, and then open a special store after the Xiaobawang learning machine came out.

Gao Mingcheng thought for a while and decided that it would be okay to invite Song Jinzhang. This little girl is smart, good at business, and has a relationship with the manager of the mall, which is also good.

So he nodded and said: "Okay, but I'm going to Yangcheng now to purchase goods. I'll ask Brother Xiao to tell Song Jinzhang that if she is willing, let her do the work when the goods are distributed. ”

Xiao Jinfeng nodded.

Recommending Song Jinzhang was also his cousin's request. He indeed felt that Song Jinzhang was quite suitable, so he mentioned it to Gao Mingcheng.

After the matter was settled, Gao Mingcheng was ready to get in the car.

After closing the car door, Gao Mingcheng reached out and waved to Xiao Jinfeng who was under the car, and said, "Brother Xiao, I'm leaving."

"Hey, have a safe journey!" Xiao Jinfeng said auspicious words, and then stepped back to make enough room for Gao Mingcheng to drive away.

Gao Mingcheng started the truck, stepped on the clutch and brake, and after shifting to first gear, he released his foot and the truck started to move slowly. He first stepped on the accelerator slowly, accelerated slightly and then changed gears, so that the truck could Driving fast.

On the co-pilot next to Gao Mingcheng, there was a large duffel bag. In addition to a change of clothes and some daily necessities, there was a lot of cash in it!
Xiao Jinfeng is right. The price of Little Overlord is high, and the purchase price is not much cheaper. Even a 50% discount will cost a lot of money. Plus, there is also the payment for clothing. Therefore, he only needs cash. The bag is half full!

Because he was carrying a huge sum of money, Gao Mingcheng not only brought a basic iron rod, but also a dagger close to his body.

In early November, the weather was slightly cooler, but it had not completely cooled down yet. The goods Gao Mingcheng wanted to buy this time were winter clothes.

Summer clothes and winter clothes are the best sellers. Relatively speaking, winter clothes are more expensive to buy and more expensive to sell.

The journey is going smoothly. If you encounter a stranger striking up a conversation on the road, you can ignore it. As long as you ignore him, you will avoid trouble. If trouble comes, Gao Mingcheng will not be afraid.

These days, if you don’t have the guts, don’t drive around. Arriving in Yangcheng smoothly, Gao Mingcheng didn't see Fan Chengyao this time. He and Fan Chengyao went back to Jiangxi together last time, and they haven't seen each other much since. When they contacted each other occasionally, they learned that Fan Chengyao was very busy recently.

Of course, Gao Mingcheng didn't have to meet him, but when he came to Yangcheng this time, he brought dozens of kilograms of local tangerines to give to Fan Chengyao.

Although Fan Chengyao was not in Yangcheng, he had to give away these dozens of kilograms of tangerines. Gao Mingcheng sent the things to the porcelain shop and gave them to Fan Chengyao's wife, Mrs. Yan.

Mrs. Yan took her daughter to look after a store in Yangcheng. When Gao Mingcheng saw the little girl for the first time, she was just a baby sucking milk, but now she can run and jump, and she is dressed up very cutely by Mrs. Yan.

When the little girl sweetly called him uncle, Gao Mingcheng began to crazily envy Fan Chengyao in his heart.

"Hey, uncle, treat you to some tangerines!" Gao Mingcheng looked at the cute little girl and his voice broke involuntarily.

The reason why I brought tangerines instead of sugar tangerines is because tangerines are a local variety in Jiangxi. The tangerines they have there are similar to those in Jingdezhen, making Fan Chengyao feel like he is at home.

Besides, if Fan Chengyao really wants to eat sugar oranges, it would be great to buy them directly from here, they are authentic and delicious!
After giving the gifts, Mrs. Yan asked Gao Mingcheng to stay for dinner, but Gao Mingcheng did not agree.

Fan Chengyao is not at home, and Mrs. Yan is young and beautiful. How bad is this? He is not going to give Fan Chengyao a cuckold!

After saying goodbye, Gao Mingcheng left quickly.

Since entering Yangcheng, he had taken off his coat due to the heat and was wearing only a short-sleeved shirt. The climate here is hot, even in winter, it doesn't get much colder.

Of course, it’s still extremely hot here in the summer, so hot that you’ll get acne! Therefore, local people are accustomed to eating light dishes, making soup and drinking herbal tea.

The eating habits of a place are actually related to the local climate.

Gao Mingcheng was very familiar with Yangcheng. He first found a restaurant to eat, then went to a clothing factory to purchase goods in the afternoon, and then found a suitable hotel to rest for the night.

Because he was alone, there were countless people waiting for the opportunity to come over and ask him if he wanted to serve!

Sure enough, big cities are different!

In their county, there were actually people who were engaged in this secretly, but they would never dare to solicit customers so blatantly. However, two thousand years later, Huancheng West Road in their county has become a well-known red light district.

During the day, there was not much movement in those buildings, but at night, there were many young girls in cool clothes standing or standing at the door. They did not actively solicit customers, they just stood there, and there were a few Jiang Taigong fishermen. The taste is hooked.

Those images flashed through Gao Mingcheng's mind, but there was a hint of disgust in his eyes.

Those who are organized and large-scale actually have people behind them controlling them. Not everyone is willing to wear cool clothes.

Of course, Gao Mingcheng was not a holy father. What made him feel disgusted was not that those people controlled Huang and that medicine was involved.

In his previous life, Gao Mingcheng's youngest son made a lot of bad friends and accidentally got into something he shouldn't have. That's why Gao Mingcheng hated those people so much.

Taking his hand out of a girl's arm, Gao Mingcheng glared at her coldly and walked away.

The girl failed to attract any customers, so she rolled her eyes at Gao Mingcheng's back, and went to choose the next person to attract in the dimly lit night.

Along the way, Gao Mingcheng saw many single men obediently following the girls, and he sneered in his heart.

The fate of these people is that if they are lucky, they spend money to buy happiness, and at most they risk getting infected. If they are unlucky, they will kidnap you and take away all their money without even risking getting infected. And you!
The word greed hides many dangers.

Because he was carrying a huge sum of money, Gao Mingcheng was extremely vigilant along the way. If he encountered someone committing petty theft, he would be ruthless.

Fortunately, probably because he was not easy to mess with, the night was spent peacefully.

Early the next morning, after Gao Mingcheng had breakfast, he bought some bread, fruits and cigarettes in the store, and was ready to leave for Zhongshan.

Arriving all the way to Zhongshan and constantly asking for directions, Gao Mingcheng finally parked his car at the entrance of the Xiaobawang Factory in the afternoon.

Gao Mingcheng carried his duffel bag and several packs of fine cigarettes in his pocket. He pulled his hair down with his hands and jumped out of the car with a cool look.

Because Nintendo has not officially released and sold it in China, the Overlord is completely a copycat. In addition to the Overlord, there are other brands that also make copycat game consoles. However, the Overlord uses high-profile publicity, which makes it the most famous and the best-selling one. alright.

The game consoles on the market now are only basic models, with prices ranging from more than 200 to more than 300. Different cartridges also have different prices. Among them, the best-selling ones are Contra, Super Mario, and Street Fighter. Game of tyrants.

And with the launch of the Xiaobawang learning machine, the price has risen to four to five hundred!
However, as the market becomes saturated, the price of game consoles will gradually fall. When computers become popular, the Xiaobawang game console will also usher in the end.

Gao Mingcheng held a cigarette, smiled, and was ready to socialize effectively!

By dinner time, there were several new friends on his dining table!
Early the next morning, Gao Mingcheng loaded most of the truck's goods. After settling the payment, he waved goodbye to his new friends before heading back.

This time, due to a detour to Zhongshan, Gao Mingcheng spent several days on the road. When he returned to the county seat, it was already six days later.

In six days, it was enough to tidy up the newly rented counter.

After returning to the county town, Gao Mingcheng first drove the car to his new home, preparing to unload the Xiaobawang game console and put it directly at his home.

This thing is expensive, and he wouldn't trust it anywhere else.

After unloading the game console, he drove the truck to a clothing store and unloaded the clothes. From then on, the truck was empty and could be returned to Xiao Jinfeng.

Gao Mingcheng did not enter the store to take care of the goods. He had already left all the matters in the clothing store to Gao Shufang and others.

He said to Gao Shufang: "You order the goods and keep accounts. If you have any questions, come to me. I will return the car."

Gao Shufang was immersed in her work. Her clothes were packed in a large snakeskin bag. The mouth of the bag was tied tightly with a rope. The rope had to be untied before the goods inside could be taken out.

She responded casually: "Okay, second brother!" (End of Chapter)
