National Tide 1980

As the time comes for foreigners to return to their apartments from the embassy district, more and more foreigners pass by Xiushui East Street.

Ning Weimin's tricycles never stopped in front of them.

Groups of foreigners of all colors stopped here.

And soon, many people were carrying large and small items in their hands.

Undoubtedly, Ning Weimin became increasingly busy and gradually lost his ability to do anything.

With no choice but to sharpen his skills before the battle, he quickly taught Luo Guangliang and his brothers a few English words.

Then encourage them to use the numbers on the calculator and make gestures to deal with customers individually.

Just like that, when another half hour passed, Ning Weimin's six tricycles were so crowded that the stalls were actually packed!

The south entrance of Xiushui East Street, which has never been bustling before, turned out to be a scene of dozens of foreigners staying here at 8:15 on this night to choose goods in the dark.

Now it's better. Not only are all kinds of foreign words that everyone can't understand are flying all over the place.

Even the Beijing dialect that I should be able to understand is a bit incomprehensible.

“How much are these things altogether”

"What's good to eat? What to eat? This...oh, you want it all? One hundred and eighty, one hundred and eighty!"

"Actually... I'm just browsing, thanks..."

"Don't go! Hey, I don't understand... Hey, how about this?"

“How much is the discount”

"Do you want to eat? Okay, let's ask for the price, right? This... ten thousand... is very expensive. Don't you understand? Come on, look at the calculator... I'll... I'll die..."

In Ning Weimin's eyes, the scene was really hoarse and crowded.

If someone who doesn't know passes by here, he will definitely be shocked by the scene and think that there really is a ghost market in this world.

But he must also admit that practice brings true knowledge.

Like Luo Guangliang and his brothers, they had been feeling discouraged today.

The first time I met a foreigner, I was at a loss and a little scared.

But when they accepted the money from the first foreigner, they seemed to get some kind of hint and had the understanding of a businessman.

That's right!

People cannot be timid when it comes to money, and there is no need to be polite, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about!

Come on, man!

As long as you can make money, that's good!

So suddenly, their eyes seemed to be sharp and refreshed.

Later, in the exchange of colorful banknotes and the communication of gestures, they continued to undergo qualitative changes.

Ning Weimin did not teach them step by step.

But they quickly mastered a method of doing business with foreigners.

They become more and more proficient in using calculators.

They gradually understood that foreigners could not use one hand to mark prices, as they would not be able to understand.

Even very soon, their mouths were quite good, their pronunciation was quite standard, and they could speak two English words.

Although I can't spell, I can use it skillfully. This is really an amazing talent.

What does this mean?

In addition to showing that people have unlimited potential, it also shows that currency has the function of enlightening people's minds.

Never deny this.

Because this is the same even for other vendors.

Take the "Company Commander" for example. He could not remain indifferent as he watched foreigners' money flow easily into the pockets of people like Ning Weimin.

So when Ning Weimin finally found a window without guests.

The "Company Commander" took advantage of this opportunity, ran to Ning Weimin, bowed respectfully, and made a request.

The "Company Commander" said that he hoped to separate some goods from Ning Weimin's goods and help them get them to his own stall, shouting and shouting. If they sold them, he would be given some hard work fees.

Of course, Ning Weimin had no reason to refuse such a request, but was rather pleased.

To be honest, he was a little impressed that the "Company Commander" could make such a mutually beneficial request.

So he didn't even pick up the cigarette, but just took a large pack of silk scarves from a car, a total of sixty scarves, and gave them to the "company commander".

This thing is relatively simple, does not involve size issues, and the price is easy to calculate.

Then Ning Weimin made an agreement on "company commander".

The price was eight yuan a piece, and he was given eight cents for each piece.

At that time, the "Company Commander" was so happy that she was as beautiful as a dog letting loose.

Without saying a word, the man quickly took all the goods back to his place to unpack them.

Then he put away half of the military uniforms and hung all the silk scarves one by one on his own iron rack.

In this way, Ning Weimin's business scope was unexpectedly and effectively expanded.

When the "Company Commander" opened again, it successfully intercepted some foreigners and reached several deals.

Except that the middle-aged woman selling underpants still couldn't save her face.

Several other vendors took advantage of the situation in order to share the profits.

They all followed the same example and came to beg Ning Weimin one by one like a swarm of swarms.

To put it bluntly, who has a grudge against money? Yes or no?

Ning Weimin was also very happy. According to the conditions just given to the "Company Commander", he gave some different goods to each one, and everyone made a fortune together.

He even looked at the middle-aged woman's pity and took the initiative to bring some straw insects and auspicious knots for sale on her behalf.

So everyone was happy, and at this moment, everyone in Xiushui East Street had business to do.

All the stalls are also covered with Ning Weimin's goods.

This street is named Ning!

However, at this time, Luo Guangliang couldn't help but feel a little nervous for Ning Weimin.

What he saw was the risk, so he couldn't help but stop his business to remind Ning Weimin.

"Brother, these are very expensive things, and we don't have a penny deposit. Why did you just write down the amount and give it to these people? I don't know them, and I don't have any close friendship. What if they don't admit it? or it could be……"

Unexpectedly, Ning Weimin was not worried at all.

He was very relaxed and just smiled, but comforted Luo Guangliang.

"Third brother, the highest level of business is continuous mutual benefit, satisfying both parties. To achieve this, the first thing is to rely on the brain, and the second thing is to use people."

"Let's put it this way, I don't actually trust their character. As you said, it's our first time making friends after all, so there is no basis for trust. However, I trust profits and the temptation of money to businessmen."

"Look at them, take a good look. These people's eyes are bright when they help us sell goods. Their own things are not needed by foreigners, but our things provide them with a way to make money with foreigners." Opportunities for money. Once they have tasted the sweetness of this time, they will no longer be willing to give it up. Naturally, they will want another."

"My confidence lies in this. As long as we can provide them with such cooperation opportunities in the long term, they will never betray. This is my reason. Why not let them help us sell goods together in the future?"

"Now do you understand what I mean? Never trust a businessman easily, but you can trust money with confidence. When a businessman is eager to obtain sustained profits from you, you can trust him as much as you trust money. "

"hey-hey……"

Luo Guangliang thought silently for a moment, finally digested what he said, and patted Ning Weimin on the shoulder.

"I thought that doing business only requires knowing how to buy and sell. It's enough to calculate the money clearly. Today you really opened my eyes. I didn't expect that there are so many tricks in it. Brother, you are really a genius in business. ! Amazing! I think those three boys today will cry to death when they wake up soon!"

Ning Weimin shook his head modestly.

"Is the bet just a joke? Is it also to prevent the big work from getting boring? How can it be taken seriously? Doesn't that mean I'm bullying them?"

Then he handed Luo Guangliang a cigarette, made a "ding" sound, and turned on the lighter.

It is this action that omits all words.

The two people laughed face to face and put their heads in front of lighters to light cigarettes.

Behind the ignited flames was the south entrance of the market where trading was still continuing.
