Xuhui smiled. He had parents, younger brothers and sisters, as well as Ye Chengying and General Yao. As long as he was smart enough, there would be people to protect him. He hugged Li Huan tightly and embarked on a new journey.
The train whistle blew and the wheels started rolling. Li Huan saw Xuhui reaching out from the window and waving to him, so he also waved his hands, then put his hands to his mouth and loudly told Xuhui to be careful.
Xuhui wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and sat in a chair in a daze. Li Huan saw the train going farther and farther away and finally could no longer be seen, so he turned around and left.
He looked at the time and saw that Ye Hui was still more than an hour away from arriving, so he went straight out of the train station and took a walk around the station.
Many brave people have already started to spread a piece of rag on the street and buy some odds and ends. Li Huan walked over and chatted with them.
After just a few words, I realized that these things were either local specialties sent from their hometowns, or defective products bought from the supply and marketing cooperatives, and then sold here.
He took out some papers from his bag and wrote the address and phone number of the Dawn Grocery Store on them, telling them to go there to wholesale whatever goods they needed. The price was definitely cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperative, and the quality was also better.
What these people lacked was a channel to purchase goods. When they heard about this, they were so excited that they thanked him repeatedly, "Little brother, what's your name?"
"My last name is Li Huan. When you go to wholesale, just tell me my name and the salesperson there will definitely sell it to you."
"Well, we'll go tomorrow. We really didn't sell anything today, and we don't have much money in our pockets. We'll go tomorrow when we're fully prepared."
Li Huan smiled. The grocery store not only does retail but also wholesale. Of course, the wholesale price is higher than that of Liming Wholesale Co., Ltd., otherwise what will they eat.
He checked the time and went back to the train station. Sure enough, a train arrived. Li Huan immediately concentrated on looking for Zhao Hui. He saw Zhao Hui in a suit and tie, with a 3:7 parted hair, getting off the train in a very gentlemanly manner.
"Uncle, here."
"Li Huan, when did you arrive?"
As Zhao Hui approached, Li Huan smelled the perfume on him, and then looked at the two ounces of oil on his head, and couldn't help laughing:
"Uncle, why are you dressed like this?"
"I can't help it. This kind of dressing is popular in Hong Kong now. Otherwise, I won't be able to get a job."
"Let's go to the grocery store and stay for one night, and then go back to the village tomorrow."
The two of them took a bus and went directly to the door of the grocery store. Zhao Hui nodded repeatedly. In the past, they either rode a bicycle or walked, but now there is a bus.
“Fortunately, Cheng Qiao bought the house here a long time ago. It was a shabby place at that time, but now it has slowly changed.”
"Of course, my Zhao family started out as a business, so we have a particularly keen sense of smell in this area. Tell me your plan later, and I'll know how to operate it."
Li Huan nodded and entered the grocery store. Zheng Qing saw the boss coming and brought in a familiar yet unfamiliar person. He did not dare to neglect him and hurried to make tea.
"Oh, you invited someone again."
When Zhao Hui first came, he invited Zheng Qing and a little girl. Later, the little girl was admitted to university and left, but with Li's mother and grandmother around, the grocery store was not affected much.
Later, the Liming Retail and Wholesale Co., Ltd. opened in the county town. It was obvious that they were short of staff, so they hired another young girl. Now this grocery store has four sales clerks.
"Yes, little Cheng Li was stolen some time ago, and my husband and I searched everywhere for him. My mother and grandmother also went to the capital to help, so I asked Zheng Qing to help find two more people."
"Zheng Qing, we will also have wholesale business here in the future. For the items brought by Shouhou, if they are under 1,000 yuan, you can add 20% to the wholesale price. If they are over 2,000 yuan, you can add 18% to the wholesale price. And so on."
"Understood, boss."
Zheng Qing is now the manager of a grocery store. Li Huan pays her 80 yuan a month, which is twice as much as her husband's salary.
Her mother-in-law at home no longer treated her coldly. Not only did she take good care of her grandson at home, she also took care of all the housework.
But she was not ignorant. She took out half of her salary to give to her mother-in-law for household expenses, brought some food and drinks back from time to time, and made new clothes for her mother-in-law during the holidays.
People's hearts are won with their own hearts. From then on, Zheng Qing's family was harmonious and he took his job more seriously.
"Okay, boss. I've got it. Here's this month's account book. Take a look."
"I'll watch it tonight. I have something to tell my uncle now."
Zheng Qing then remembered that this man was Cheng Qiao's uncle. He had been here once before. No wonder he looked so familiar. He quickly put the account book on the table and went about his business.
"Uncle, have you ever thought about investing in the transportation industry?"
“For the transportation industry, this seems like a big step.”
"I have found the connections. Secretary Hao from the original commune has been promoted to the second-in-command of the county, specializing in economic development. He also wants to achieve results, so I mentioned the transportation industry, and he strongly supported it."
"What do you want to do?"
"First, we will invest in two buses for long-distance travel, and then invest in some trucks for transportation, such as transporting materials from here to Gansu Province or helping others transport things."
Zhao Hui was very excited after hearing this. He also got the news that the country was preparing to vigorously develop Gansu Province, and there were actually more opportunities here than in places like Beijing and Shanghai.
The truth is that there are too many capable people and rich people in these places, and it is easy to offend people if you are not careful. But it is much easier in Gansu Province. As long as there is an opportunity, you just work hard and you will definitely succeed.
"Show me the plan and check the account book. You still have to take good care of your own business and not be careless in the slightest."
Li Huan nodded repeatedly. He, his mother and Lele have been here for the past two years. Lele will leave next year, and the year after next, or the year after that, he and his mother will also leave. What should he do here
By the way, he can entrust Wang Xiangyang, and Shouhou and others can also help. Thinking of this, Li Huan's heart settled temporarily and he began to look through the account books.
This month's profits have declined, especially for daily necessities, the decline has been quite large. Li Huan walked out and called Zheng Qing to ask what was going on.
"There's also a grocery store across the street. They sell similar things to us, and the prices are cheaper. But I've looked around, and it seems like all their stuff is second-hand, and some have been repaired."
Li Huan nodded. Cheng Qiao had said long ago that as time went by, more shops would be opened one by one, so the things they sold had to be unique.
How does this sentence go? That's right, I have what others don't, I am better than others, I am unique, I can change. I don't want to change, changing careers is not that easy, but I can increase the things I sell.
