The row of glass counters with mp3 players was the most decorated thing in the store, and that small machine cube seemed to drag Jiang Xiao into the future.
He took a look and brought back many memories for Jiang Xiao. This thing was developed abroad, and the technology is not too complicated. At the end of 2002, it took some time for the domestic mp3 to come out. It is small and convenient. But the price is really not cheap now, domestic prices are around seven or eight hundred, and foreign brands basically sell for four figures.
However, this is only a small microcosm of the rapid development of future technology.
Many well-known smartphone manufacturers in later generations have made mp3 players. Jiang Xiao saw the predecessors of several familiar brands in it. However, because this product is not technically difficult and popular, it will be popularized in recent years. After some small manufacturers also mastered the technology and came out with more complete mp4, there was a wave of price cuts around 2006, and the lowest-end music box could be bought for a few tens of dollars, but for Houlin now, It's really a novelty.
Jiang Xiao counted the money on hand, but it was not enough. After he was overwhelmed, he is not in a hurry to buy now. The price is too high now. He can buy three or four at most, and he can't keep the price down. Moreover, it will be even more difficult to sell this thing to the students in Houlin. There are thousands and thousands of things, and it is difficult to find buyers.
"I'll come back during the winter vacation," Jiang Xiao said, "You should keep an eye on it for me first."
At that time, he made a few more trips, so he should have more money in hand, and now the domestic mp3 market is also fighting a price war. He vaguely remembers that at the end of the year, a factory would launch an mp3 for 499 yuan, which can be regarded as that time. The king of cost-effectiveness, Jiang Xiao bought this model in the last semester of his sophomore year in his last life. At that time, the mp3 on the counter of Houlin was no longer a new thing.
The development of science and technology is rapid, and the time node Jiang Xiao can grasp is only that period of time. During the winter vacation, students can receive lucky money, and many people have a little more time in their hands. Digital products cannot be held down for too long, and the unit price is too high. Gao, Jiang Xiao can't afford to pay now.
He went back to the small hotel to look for Ye Bing with two bags of things on his back. He had been racing against time to see the price of the goods drop, and he felt hungry after putting down the things. The goods on the truck had already been loaded, and it was parked not far from the hotel. Ye Bing was about to drive a long distance, and now he had fallen asleep. Jiang Xiao slipped out lightly to have a supper.
There was a fast food restaurant not far away, Jiang Xiao ordered the cheapest noodles, and ate the whole bowl of noodles with his head down. The streetlight was brighter, and his face was clearly exposed under the light.
When Jiang Xiao was eating noodles, he felt weird, as if someone was looking at him all the time, he looked around without any trace, and found that there was a table of people sitting diagonally opposite, and several of them looked at him from time to time, and their eyes met. Then quickly backed away, and whispered.
Jiang Xiao immediately became vigilant.
It is already late at night, he is young, he probably looks like a bully, and it is better not to cause trouble when he is out, so Jiang Xiao watched one of the people at the table stand up, and when he walked towards him by paying the bill, he He stood up abruptly and ran away.
The people at the table were stunned for a moment, and then they all stood up and chased after him.
Seeing this posture, Jiang Xiao decisively ran faster. Like a rabbit, he heard a voice coming from behind: "Don't run!"
Those who don't run are fools, who knows what they want to do.
Jiang Xiaozai ran into the alley, twisted and turned the man away, and then sneaked back to the small hotel by himself.
After closing the door of the room, he breathed a sigh of relief. The law and order in Liujiang City doesn't seem to be very good now, Jiang Xiao thought, there are so many messy punks, luckily I'm smart enough.
The next day, when Jiang Xiao took Ye Bing's car back to Houlin, Lin Chengyu had just received the news.
Those few people insisted that it was indeed the person he was looking for, but the other party was too vigilant and ran too fast, so he lost track of him. Lin Chengyu, who just said a few words, didn't believe it at first. He gave a lot of money to find someone. There are quite a few people claiming false information, but there is a large factory on the left side of the small restaurant, and a surveillance camera, which is very rare now, is set up at the height of the entrance.
The scene of Jiang Xiao sitting at the table outside eating noodles, and then running away like a rabbit was completely recorded, without having to confirm with the owner of the small restaurant, Lin Chengyu already recognized that it was him.
That was when he got along with him for more than ten years, and now he thinks of the person who hurts his heart, he will not admit his mistake.
He watched the blurry video repeatedly, his fingers trembling uncontrollably.
It was early morning at that time, and Jiang Xiao ordered the cheapest noodles in this place by himself, and he was so vigilant, Lin Chengyu looked at it and felt that it was more uncomfortable than what he had personally experienced.
But when he looked around, the person disappeared again.
It was only one night after the time passed, even if Jiang Xiao worked part-time here, he should have left some traces, but Lin Chengyu asked around in the nearby factory, and they all said that it was impossible to recruit minors.
As for the hotel not far away, Lin Chengyu didn't put much thought into it at all. It was a driver's hotel, which cooperated with various transportation companies and accommodated truck drivers. When I went to check it once, the boss sitting at the counter waved his hand and said that he had never seen it. The registered guests did not have this name, and they were all recorded on Ye Bing's account, and they couldn't be found in Xiaogong.
The feeling of seeing him twice but not being able to grasp it made Lin Chengyu more and more panicked. In the past two weeks, he searched the neighborhood but still couldn't find anyone. In the end, he took the photos and asked each family by himself. The aunt on the night shift changed in a hotel. She looked at the photo before saying she had seen it.
"The child brought by the parents is not from Liujiang," the aunt told him. "During the National Day holiday, he lived here by himself for a few days, carrying a big black bag, leaving early and returning late."
When Lin Chengyu entered this store, he basically had no hope. When he heard this reply suddenly, he felt unreal as if he was stepping on a cloud, so he stumbled and asked again.
"Have you... met him?"
"I've seen him!" Auntie thought he had bad ears, so she replied loudly again, "I've lived here twice in our store, why are you looking for him!"
But when Lin Chengyu continued to ask, if he went a little deeper, the aunt was not willing to answer.
Although the elderly aunt doesn't understand the privacy of customers, if he asked Jiang Xiao, half a child would answer it, but if he asked Ye Bing in detail, she didn't want to answer. Even if Lin Chengyu took out the money later, she would The eyes wandered, and he only said something vaguely. The driver of the big car and the hotel have been cooperating for a long time. If there is nothing good to do with someone, or if they are looking for revenge, and the driver is involved, their business will not be able to do business. up.
But with this exact clue, it will be much easier for Lin Chengyu to find out what to do next. Even though it took some time, at least he didn't take any detours.
Now that the information flow is poor, Lin Chengyu doesn't know exactly what Jiang Xiao did in Liujiang. After all, the hotel only knows that he lives here, and he doesn't know what Jiang Xiao is doing when he goes out, but as long as he follows the line of the driver's hotel and finds Ye Bing , and then find Jiang Xiao, this method is more direct and faster.
But after a few days, he already knew where Jiang Xiao came from. He lives in Houlin, ten hours away by car.
But today's Lin Chengyu has not had time to think about Jiang Xiao's rebirth. He doesn't have much information, and he is dazzled by surprises. He hasn't asked how the Jiang family is doing in Houlin. The stretch is so long, but Lin Chengyu wants to find someone by himself, and it won't be too late to learn more about it.
It is certain that the Jiang family's financial situation is not good. Lin Chengyu saw Jiang Xiao twice, and he was very simple. In the previous life, Jiang Xiao took care of him little by little. This time, Lin Chengyu couldn't wait to make up for his regrets, just like Jiang Xiao treated him in the previous life, pampering him in every possible way since he was a teenager, and not letting him suffer a little bit. , the two will never be separated again.
Lin Chengyu, who had such an illusion, would naturally not allow any accidents at this time.
But fate always fails to meet people's wishes.
Jiang Xiao, who returned to Houlin, didn't know about it at all. After he was reborn, he seemed to gradually shed the heavy shell of his previous life. Lin Chengyu hardly appeared in his mind anymore. He was busy studying and making money, and he was very fulfilled. .
And after returning from Liujiang for the second time, his goods were welcomed again.
Jiang Xiao didn't have a booth, and he sold it by word of mouth from a few female classmates at the beginning. The business was after class, and he could basically concentrate on his studies without much influence on each other.
But after the business started, now he can't bear to have someone come looking for him after class. Besides, he only has a schoolbag, so it's not easy to bring goods over, and he can't let the teacher see him if he moves too much.
Regarding this point, Jiang Xiao had already planned.
He discussed with the owner of the video store, and from now on, he will bring him the latest products every month, and only sell them to his family, which is equivalent to an exclusive supply, and the price is also negotiable. When a small container came out, Jiang Xiao arranged the goods, posted the prices, and asked him to help sell them. He went to take stock after school every day, and Jiang Xiao’s goods attracted many students to come in, which can be regarded as providing him with a flow of goods. win-win thing.
But the owner of the video store agreed to Jiang Xiao’s troublesome request, and it was not only for money. Jiang Xiao had already planned this matter before the second purchase. I bought a limited-edition foreign disc. This thing is almost at the collection level, and it will be valuable in future generations. For the boss, it really hits the heart, and he can't say a word.
"You are so amazing," the owner of the video store hugged his beloved disc like he was hugging his wife, and stared at the junior high school student who was pushed out by him at first, "Jiang Xiao, you will make a fortune in the future, remember to support him Give me your brother."
Jiang Xiao smiled at him: "Don't brag, I can only earn a little money here."
"This is just the beginning," said the owner of the video store. "With your skills, you can make money in whatever you do in the future."
He watched how Jiang Xiao arranged the small shelf, which was neat and beautiful, and the bundles of the hand ropes were neatly tidied up, and there were a few braided hand ropes hanging beside them, which were very beautiful. After he asked, he realized that it was Jiang Xiao who made it up by himself, which is amazing.
At such a young age, he is motivated, willing to work hard and has ideas. If he doesn't get rich in the future, who will get rich
After Jiang Xiao has a fixed booth, although it is not big, it is indeed of great significance to his long-term business. It's not like he doesn't care, he made an account book himself, and he goes to take inventory twice a day. Although the owner of the video store agreed, he is also a good person, but his brother still needs to settle the accounts clearly, and make things clear from top to bottom, especially money matters. , business and friendship can last long.
After the shelf was set up, there has never been a lack of people coming, except for girls, there are also some boys who want to give gifts to female classmates to take a peek. A public occasion and a full display are naturally much more efficient than Jiang Xiao's way of attracting people last time.
The girls who bought things from him before knew that it was his stall, and many of them became familiar with him and called him the little boss with a joke.
Jiang Xiao's popularity seems to have improved more than a little, because the things he sells, in addition to being called by the little boss in person, also have a nickname behind his back-Jianghu people call him Girl's Friend.
