Chapter 188 Start with acquaintances

After running around the house, we still need to get the tables and chairs.

Because it only lasted a month, it would cost too much to buy a brand new one, so I went to the nearby bamboo and wood market to rent second-hand tables and chairs. Lao Gu's reputation does not extend beyond the wholesale market, and many merchants find it too troublesome to do so.

After visiting most of the bamboo and wood markets, one company agreed and set some strict rules: if the tables and chairs were damaged, they would refuse to recycle them.

However, the price is quite suitable.

This works out to only 20 yuan per set of tables and chairs, which lasts for two months.

Gu Yuan ordered thirty sets at once.

"Isn't this too cheap?" Li Qiao couldn't believe it.

"Young Master Li, you don't understand the sufferings of the world. Things in the second-hand market are inherently cheap. When they collect these things, they basically don't use much money. If they can sell them, they will make a profit. That's it, I think they are too expensive."

Gu Yuan said with a smile.

At this time, he happened to pass by a store. Gu Yuan saw a computer desk in good condition placed on the roadside and shouted directly: "Boss, how much does this computer desk cost?"

"one hundred."

"Oh."

The boss thought Gu Yuan was too expensive, so he immediately called out the price, "Ninety-five!"

"My family also does business in the wholesale market."

The other party looked at Gu Yuan several times and seemed to think he looked familiar, "Eighty, it can't be any lower."

"Depend on!"

Li Qiao almost cursed.

He had seen similar computer desks in the mall before. The quality was not necessarily as good as this one, and it sold for RMB 480 after discounts.

"Do you want to buy it or not?" the boss urged.

"I'm not buying, I'm just asking."

Gu Yuan waved his hand.

The boss's face suddenly dropped.

This is just common sense in life. Things in the second-hand market are at least half cheaper than the market price, but some people are disgusted and unwilling to buy second-hand goods.

After finishing these trivial matters, the next step is naturally to do publicity.

Naturally, Chu You and Li Qiao suggested going to school to distribute flyers, but they were rejected by Gu Yuan. There are no students who are willing to make up lessons. It is useless to hand out flyers to them. Maybe they will take it from the front, change hands and stuff it into the trash can.

That's pretty good.

Twenty years from now, if a student enters a cram school, he will be able to report the cram school later.

"Just run around in the wholesale market. After that, you can recruit at least twenty or thirty students."

"You are planning to trap someone you know!"

"What nonsense? This is common progress."

For this kind of thing, it’s better to start with acquaintances.

and so.

Gu Yuan directly chose Wu Chenhui, who had been in high school for eight years in his previous life. Unlike other merchants who have miscellaneous items in their stores, his store is very empty, with only a dozen sewing machines of different styles placed in conspicuous places.

When the group arrived, Wu Chenhui was lying on the sewing machine doing homework. His wife held a bamboo ruler used by tailors in her hand and kept teaching him:

"How did you take the final exam?"

"Only 12 points in physics?"

"You got all the multiple-choice questions right. You co-wrote other questions, but you can't write a single question? How did you learn? Did you not bring your brain or ears with you in class?"

As he spoke, the bamboo ruler hit his head with a bang, which made Wu Chenhui burst into tears and his head was covered with tears. He did not dare to talk back.

As soon as he saw this situation, Gu Yuan wanted to leave.

When people are teaching their children a lesson, it would be inappropriate for you to go door-to-door to promote it. Unexpectedly, Wu's mother saw Gu Yuan instead, "Gu Yuan, why are you leaving right now? Sit down and drink a glass of water. I haven't been able to say a few words to you on the wedding day, so congratulations!"

Wu Chenhui suddenly smiled playfully when he saw someone coming.

Wu's mother angrily picked up the bamboo ruler and swiped it at his buttocks. She beat him so hard that he jumped up from the chair and rubbed his buttocks while squealing.

"Are you here to hang out with Wu Chenhui?"

Since he was asked, Gu Yuan simply said, "Auntie, I have a summer class and I am going to make up for the students who are in the first year of high school and are going to the second year of high school, so I want to ask about the situation."

As he spoke, he pushed Ye Wenjun forward, "Her name is Ye Wenjun, and she scored 699 in the college entrance examination."

"How much do they score?"

Wu Ma looked at Li Qiao and his friends.

Li Qiao said lightly, "He's over six hundred, not worth mentioning."

Li Qiao answered like this throughout the summer vacation, and it really made him pretend a lot. His favorite scene was when he finished speaking and someone else said exaggeratedly: "More than six hundred points, it's not worth mentioning? How many more points do you want to take?"

Then I follow the humility, and it feels so good.

Unexpectedly, Wu Ma nodded directly, "It's really not worth mentioning."

Li Qiao's face straightened.

"They don't have enough scores and won't participate in make-up classes."

Gu Yuan added, "Anyway, science majors are fine..."

"Mom, I want to go!"

When Wu Chenhui heard this, he quickly agreed and secretly winked at Gu Yuan.

By the end of this, Wu Ma was already moved. It's not like she hasn't found a teacher for Wu Chenhui before, but it didn't work at all. If there is a provincial champion who makes up a class, he might be able to get a few more points in the exam.

"When can I go then?"

"You can go there tomorrow, but the official opening of classes is from July 7th to August 10th. When you are not in class, you can also do your homework there." "I will send my Wu Chenhui there tomorrow. If he disobeys, you will beat him. He, don’t be polite to me.”

Wait for a group of people to go out.

Wu Ma turned around and saw Wu Chenhui with a playful smile. She immediately picked up the bamboo ruler and swept it towards her butt:

"You and I are classmates in elementary school. They have already graduated from high school, and you are still in the first year of high school. How can you still laugh? When people ask you what your score is in the college entrance examination this year, I am embarrassed to say that you are still in the first year of high school!"

After walking out of Wu Chenhui's house, everyone was very excited. This was a good start.

Gu Yuan was quite calm.

Because things can't go that smoothly.

really.

At the fourth store, everyone finally hit a wall in a clothing store. There was not much business in this store, and Wu’s mother pointed out the way. She said that the other person’s family also had a child in high school, so she stopped by.

When they went there, the couple was still watching TV and the child was still lying on the chair doing homework.

But when Gu Yuan finished explaining his purpose, the other party immediately started to get busy.

He took off the clothes hanging on the wall one by one, patted the non-existent dust, and then hung them up again.

Seeing the other party's indifferent appearance, Gu Yuan coughed: "Sorry to bother you."

Then he turned around and left with everyone.

After taking just a few steps, the busy couple sat back down and watched TV again. They could also hear the woman's somewhat mean voice:

"The son of that hardware store really made a good calculation. He got the top score in the provincial examination two days ago, and his parents held a banquet and took the opportunity to collect the gift money. Now his son actually wants to make money from this, and the whole family They all fell into the eyes of money, and you don’t know what will happen in the future.”

"Yes, he can learn by himself, but he may not be able to teach others. It is more reliable to find a school teacher to make up lessons." The man nodded.

This was a big deal, and everyone heard it.

Ye Wenjun's face turned pale and he didn't want to continue on the spot, "Gu Yuan, why don't we forget it."

If it were herself, it wouldn't matter.

But she didn't want Gu Yuan to be accused behind his back like this.

Li Qiao heard clearly and immediately wanted to turn around, but Gu Yuan stopped him, "What do you want to do?"

"I just want to ask him how he spoke. What does it mean to fall into the eyes of money?"

Li Qiao was furious.

Gu Yuan smiled and patted his shoulder, and said to him, and also to Ye Wenjun: "They are right, we just want to make money and talk about other people. You can't do it just because you don't like what others say. Are you going to shut other people's mouths? It's hard to make money in this world, and it's hard to eat shit."

"You have eaten?"

Li Qiao was not convinced.

"Fuck, I'm comforting you." Gu Yuan was attacked and suddenly became unhappy, "You were treated like that by Lu Xueyuan, and I've never seen you angry."

"Don't mention her, we are still brothers. Is that the end of it?" Li Qiao asked.

"if not?"

Gu Yuan said with a smile, "The best way is to make the other party regret it. When I think of today's decision, I feel regretful in my intestines."

"Let's go to the next house."

After leaving the world, Gu Yuan's mentality is getting better and better.

Who has no one behind his back?

If someone comes to take revenge because of this matter, the number of trolls on the Internet will definitely be reduced by half within seven days.

Done.

The group of people walked towards the next house.

Of course, some were perfunctory and some refused, but none of them had ever met the previous couple again. However, there are also some who are very willing. For example, in another clothing store, the other party has been quite enthusiastic since the group of people entered the room.

Bring tea, pour water, and pass the bench.

After hearing the purpose, he even hurriedly paid:

"I wanted to find you before, but you were too busy and never had time. My Qin Yang has passed by, so you have to worry more."

"Aunt Qin, five hundred more..." Gu Yuan quickly returned the extra money.

"With the extra money, I'll treat it as auntie buying you snacks."

After some rejection.

Gu Yuan still returned the extra money, "Aunt Qin, don't worry, Qin Yang and I grew up in a big yard, and I will definitely be interested in him. If I charge you more money , but I haven’t done it yet.”

When the other party heard this, he took back the money.

Then he enthusiastically took Gu Yuan to a few familiar merchants. When the other party saw recommendations from acquaintances, he also made a guarantee on the spot, saying that he would send his children there for tutoring when the time came. Even though the child is still in elementary school, we decided to send him there to do his homework.

"Lao Gu, are you familiar with this family?"

After leaving, the friend could not help but ask.

"Well, when my family first came to the city to do business, we rented a house in a courtyard and were neighbors with her family. Although we moved away later, we still moved around a lot. Sometimes I would ask her for help when I bought clothes and shoes in the market. "

Gu Yuan explained.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod.

No wonder he is so enthusiastic.

Only Ye Wenjun turned his head three times with each step, and then lowered his head again, as if he was thinking about something. It wasn't until a moment later that he asked in a low voice, "Gu Yuan, do they look alike?"

"That's called husband and wife."

Li Qiao interjected and said, "I read in the report that many couples who have been married for many years will look like husband and wife. The better the relationship, the more alike they look."

The friend patted his head and said, "I think I've seen it too."

Ye Wenjun nodded and said no more.

Gu Yuan paused and then said, "They are not husband and wife, they are cousins."
