During the two days she came to the city, Li Wei finished her work at the shop and then walked around the streets. While strolling, she got into a store selling stationery.
This store has a lot of goods and is more like a wholesale department. There are many merchants who come here to wholesale small things for sale. Li Wei took a fancy to a notebook and asked the price. It was 50 cents cheaper than the canteens around their school, so she quickly bought three.
Looking at the dazzling array of merchandise, an idea quickly came to her mind. She might as well sneak in a batch of trendy items to sell in the school, and she should be able to make a fortune. She focused on the boxes of postcards, letter paper, and celebrity posters.
There is a market for these things among girls, and a postcard sells for 50 cents at the canteen. But here, as long as you buy more than ten boxes, the price is two yuan per box, and there are ten cards in each box. You can earn 30 cents from one piece. She can still make money by selling it slightly cheaper than the canteen, and it's less tiring than selling ice cream. The profit was indeed attractive, but she didn't dare to buy too much for the first time. She first chose ten boxes of postcards, then bought ten posters, and a box of self-adhesive stickers. She bought fifty.
Li Wei lost almost all her pocket money buying these things.
When she carried these things back to the shop, Liu Chunzhi was startled. Looking at the pictures of celebrities on the poster, I wondered: "Are you also chasing stars?"
"What kind of stars are you chasing? I don't chase them, I'm in business. I'll take this back and sell it."
Li Minghua heard about Li Wei's move and smiled: "I didn't expect that we Weiwei are quite business-minded."
Liu Chunzhi curled her lips and said: "I think she is crazy about money. You are a student who doesn't study seriously and spends all your time studying how to make money. Isn't the pocket money I gave you enough?"
Li Wei said: "That's enough, but I also want to find something to do."
Faced with the opposition of his parents, brother Li Jianping supported Li Wei on this matter. Li Jianbo also gave Li Wei some advice: "Let me tell you, don't bring too much to school at one time. If the teacher finds you doing this, I'm afraid it will cause trouble." "Bring a few at a time. If the teacher asks, just say you brought them for someone else."
Li smiled and said: "Thank you, second brother, for reminding me."
The two-and-a-half-day vacation ended quickly. When she came, Li Wei only carried a small bag with her homework in it. When she returned, it turned into a bunch of big and small bags.
When school started, Li Wei quietly put two boxes of postcards into his schoolbag and took them to school.
The first class was a math class. Maybe everyone was still a little uncomfortable after returning from the holiday, so everyone was drowsy. Li Wei held the pen and wrote down the handwriting quickly. After finally staying up until the end of get out of class, Li Wei took out the postcard. Li Chunxiao, who was at the same table, saw it at a glance and immediately came over. He said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to like Zhou Huimin too. This version of yours is really beautiful. Where did you buy it?"
Li smiled and replied: "If you want it, I'll sell it to you."
"Selling? How to buy?"
Li Wei said: "Forty cents a piece, three yuan a dollar."
The price was a dime cheaper than the price at the canteen, so it was quite affordable. She looked excited and paid for it: "Okay, I'll buy three."
Li Wei poured out all the postcards in the box and let them choose. Li Chunxiao carefully selected it and she was very satisfied.
"Li Wei, you can do it. Now you are selling things." Li Chunxiao praised sincerely.
"Then help me promote it more. I have postcards, stickers, and posters here. The prices are cheaper than those outside."
Li Chunxiao just said it as a joke. She didn't expect Li Wei to actually start a business. She was a little worried for Li Wei: "Do you really want to sell something?"
Li smiled and said, "Yeah, I'm not star-struck."
Li Chunxiao kindly reminded her: "Be careful and don't let Teacher Song know."
Li Weihui smiled slyly: "I know."
Li Chunxiao is well-connected. She knows most of the people in the class next door, as well as everyone in the second and first grades of junior high school. Li Wei really found the right person when he asked her to help with publicity.
After school at noon, some girls came over.
"Are there any Little Tigers?"
"Yes, yes. There are postcards and stickers, and yes, there is also a poster. If you want it, I will bring it tomorrow."
In one day, all the postcards she brought to school were sold out, and a dozen stickers were also sold. After returning home, she counted the money and smiled. These little girls made a lot of money.
When Li Xia was playing with those celebrity posters, Li Xia quickly came around.
"Liu Tianwang's picture is so handsome. When did you buy it?" Li Xia's eyes immediately revealed a look of obsession.
"Sister, do you like it too?"
"I like it. Why don't I like it? Do you want to give it to me?"
Li smiled and said, "Two yuan a piece."
Li Xia scowled and said, "I think you have fallen in love with money. I don't care." However, Li Xia said no, but her body was very honest. Then he gave Li Wei two dollars, and Li Wei handed the poster of Liu Tianwang to Li Xia.
Li Xia held it up and almost jumped in love with it, but she just didn't kiss the poster in front of Li Wei. Li Wei wondered why these little girls were so obsessed with strangers whom they had never met in person, only seen a few times on TV, or could hum a few lines. It was also the first time that she came across the concept of star benefits, but she found it very novel.
The items she purchased were almost sold out within a few days. This afternoon I met Teacher Song’s Chinese class. Because it was the last class, when the class was over, he did not let the students go immediately.
"Everyone, please sit still and pass your schoolbags up for me to check."
As soon as Teacher Song said this, he felt a little restless. What was he doing? We were not elementary school students anymore and still doing this trick of checking school bags. Only Li Wei knew in her heart that Teacher Song was here for her.
Everyone lined up and opened their schoolbags one by one for Teacher Song to check. When it was Li Wei's turn, she handed over her schoolbag as if nothing had happened. Teacher Song had a stern look on his face and rummaged through Li Wei's schoolbag. He also poured out all the books and looked through them carefully before saying, "Students focus on studying. I don't want to see some Evil trends exist.”
Li Wei agreed in a low voice, packed the books silently and went out. Li Chunxiao, who was standing behind her, really broke into a cold sweat for Li Wei, so that Li Wei could pass the test smoothly. But she saw with her own eyes that Li Wei brought a lot of goods today, and it was a surprise inspection. Why didn't Teacher Song confiscate them? Where will she go in the short term
Li Chunxiao walked out, and Li Wei happened to be going downstairs. Li Chunxiao stopped her and asked in a low voice: "Have you been sued?"
"Isn't this obvious?"
"Then where do your things go?"
Li Wei smiled playfully: "Guess what."
Li Chunxiao was confused. How could she guess it? Could it be that Li Wei could do magic
