Apart from the tens of thousands of dollars in hand, Jiang Xiao's biggest gain this time is his two roommates.
If he wants to do business, he always needs someone to help him. Fortunately, he had Uncle Ye and Zhang Yang when he was in Houlin, and now he has Chen Lang and Xu Liang. From this point of view, these two people's abilities are very good, and their ability to act and execute is quite good. After this time, they really want to follow Jiang Xiao to continue doing it.
"Don't be in a hurry," Jiang Xiao said with a smile, "I'll treat you to dinner tonight, it's just the November holiday, everyone should take a good rest for a few days."
Just made a lot of money, these two people are still excited, so calm down.
After all, the period of military training was a minority. The right time, place and people are in harmony. There are not many such special periods, and we must fight steadily in the future.
There were four people in a dormitory, and Lin Chengyu was also there, besides, he also helped out. It would not be good to leave them behind, so Jiang Xiao invited them along with him, thinking it was a dormitory team building.
Chen Lang made a choice, and chose a hot pot restaurant over there in the shopping mall.
When choosing the bottom of the pot, Chen Lang asked, and Jiang Xiao subconsciously chose the mandarin duck pot.
He still remembered the fact that Lin Chengyu didn't eat spicy food. In the past, the two of them rarely ate hot pot, and each ate their own food.
He didn't expect Lin Chengyu to be able to eat a little spicy food at this time.
And Jiang Xiao likes to eat shrimp slippery, Lin Chengyu quickly piled a small mountain of shrimp slippery in his bowl.
Obviously they were having dinner together in the dormitory, but Xu Lang felt as if his style of painting was different from the two people opposite him. Lin Chengyu had obviously been paying attention to Jiang Xiao's situation.
"Eat this for supper."
"Drink some sour plum soup."
"Can I get you another dessert? How about coconut parfait?"
"Shut up," Jiang Xiao glared at him, "Eat your own."
Then Jiang Xiao randomly picked up a piece of beef and put it in his bowl.
Lin Chengyu became quiet all of a sudden, honestly finished eating the beef, and couldn't help but secretly look at him again.
A hot pot meal was fairly peaceful, and the military training was over and it was the National Day holiday.
Taking advantage of this time, Jiang Xiao hurriedly got busy with the house. The house was written in Xia Wanwan's name, and the loan was also done in her name, but the card for repaying the loan was in Jiang Xiao's hands. , He will deposit money in it every month, and after a while, he can go through the transfer of ownership, renovate the house, and it will be almost ready to live in if it is ventilated.
Lin Chengyu also knew about his buying a house, and he was happy to see Jiang Xiao settle down here.
After finishing his work on the house, Jiang Xiao went to the market again. The big market in the city has almost become his home in recent years.
The business of the students has always been Jiang Xiao's start, because he lives in it and knows the needs of the students very well.
It takes four years to live in the dormitory, and there are a lot of businesses here.
Although the students will bring things from home, it is not enough to bring some clothes and quilts for daily life. Everyone has a rough life in the first month of military training. When the formal class starts, there will be more things to put away went.
The first is the bed curtain.
The dormitories of South China Associated University are basically four-person rooms, with bunk beds and bunk beds. Four people live in each other to have privacy. Gradually, many students will put up curtains.
Jiang Xiao went to the school commercial street to see. Of course there are bed curtains for sale, but he has seen that although the price is cheap, the colors and patterns are average, and most of them are drawstrings, which need to be tied with soft ropes. It is not very beautiful to wear when it falls down, and it is easy to fall off when it is pulled, and it is easy to have gaps. He has heard complaints from girls in his class, saying that the ugly ones sold at the school are not of good quality, and they are not satisfied after choosing for a long time.
Jiang Xiao found a bed curtain that can be easily assembled with pipes and joints in the market. If he buys a lot, he can directly order the size from the manufacturer.
Besides this, there are other little things.
The small table lamp plugged in in the dormitory is used after the lights are turned off, because the school has a limit on the power of electrical appliances, and the power of the hair dryer is less than 800 watts, so that many students bring the hair dryer from home. They have to buy new ones. Xiao also went to see it. The small supermarket over the school has very limited choices and is expensive. The small table lamp is not good-looking, and the hair dryer is more expensive than the market.
In addition to this, there are also portable storage bags and book bags, which can be used for both study and life. Jiang Xiao had even seen the instant noodle bowls and matching bowls and chopsticks. After he probably had a list and selections, he took Chen Lang and Xu Liang to have a look.
That's why Jiang Xiao had to go through the commercial and living areas near the school carefully.
There are a lot of restaurants in the school, but there is a common problem with lifestyle stores, because they are basically in a semi-monopoly position in the school.
It seems that many things are not expensive, but in terms of quality, the price/performance ratio is really not high, and basically the stores are not big, and the choices for students are very limited. Even if you don’t compare the wholesale market, compare it with other hypermarkets , the same commodity schools are generally about 20% more expensive.
Although there is online shopping now, there are not many products on it, and many students still don't have access to it, and they are not used to things on the Internet. I don't believe it, but offline shopping is still the main thing now.
What Jiang Xiao is catching now is this blank market.
He doesn't have a store yet, and the labor depends on the people around him. Not only can he do well here in terms of cost performance, but he can also give students a variety of choices.
Moreover, the business at the time of the military training left Jiang Xiao with a huge fortune—a penguin colony full of class committee members at the same level.
At this time, Penguin Chat has become very popular among young people. Almost no one in the class has a Q number. Penguin skin, space and Q Pet have been launched. Many mobile phones in 2006 can already log in. It is a very convenient communication tool. .
Jiang Xiao is going to make full use of this penguin colony and his space.
At that time, the penguin group was just to buy necessary packages for military training, but everyone was a freshman, and there were a lot of things to discuss. The group has always been quite lively, and many people also talked about school life in it. Unexpectedly, after the military training, the group leader New content has been updated.
"Bed curtains, bowls, chopsticks, lamps, storage boxes, book bags and other daily necessities, the group purchase price is one-third cheaper than the school supermarket, optional, see the space for specific styles, contact us if you need it, and deliver it to your door."
This is not the first time to buy things here, after a while, someone contacted Jiang Xiao.
"Several girls in our class want to buy that curtain, the sky blue one, can we discuss the price again?"
Of course we can talk.
The class schedule in college is much more relaxed than in high school. Jiang Xiao takes classes seriously every day and can spare a lot of time to manage business matters. Later, a lot of goods could not be put in the dormitory, so Jiang Xiao piled the goods at home and went back and forth every day, because it was not too troublesome because of the proximity.
His products are updated very quickly, and the scope is getting bigger and bigger. After the heat of the freshman dormitory decoration period is over, he starts selling snacks, which are all big brands.
The first thing Jiang Xiao chooses is quality. There has never been a safety issue. However, there are a few that are not used well or that they regret after buying and want to return them. These are trivial matters.
After more than a month, when the weather turned cold, Jiang Xiao started selling hot water bottles and thermos cups, etc. Chen Lang and Xu Liang became much more agile in their hands and feet, earned more and more money, and the two of them became calm. stand up.
In November, Jiang Xiao's products were already well-known among the students.
Lin Chengyu watched him do it step by step, and sometimes he would help if he could, and secretly paid for it himself.
He also helped Jiang Xiao get a lot of business, and many selections were also suggested by Lin Chengyu. When it comes to business, he is also very good at it.
Lin Chengyu himself was very busy, Jiang Xiao knew that.
He seemed to have really changed.
Lin Chengyu was taken care of by Jiang Xiao when he was the most downcast in his previous life, and his ten fingers were not touched by Yang Chunshui, so he didn't suffer much. Now he is still the young master, but he has to go to the construction site in Shenzhen City every week. Jiang Xiao remembers the third year of junior high school. When Lin Chengyu took time from the construction site to come to Houlin to look for him, he had a knock on his knee, and his hands were covered with small wounds. Now his hands are full of calluses, and they have become much rougher.
"It's like this from the grassroots level," Lin Chengyu said to him with a smile, "I think it's pretty good."
He has been in it a lot, and he has truly experienced Jiang Xiao's hard work in the past two lifetimes.
It is extremely tiring for those who really start from scratch and struggle from the bottom. I don’t know how much suffering and hardship they have to suffer before they are lucky enough to get a little chance.
Communication between people is based on mutual understanding. Lin Chengyu has been by Jiang Xiao's side for so long, and now he seldom talks about getting back together, but his relationship with Jiang Xiao is always gradually improving.
As he wished, it would be nice to be friends first.
One day in November, it rained heavily in Lishi.
Jiang Xiao just launched a new plug-in warm handbag a few days ago. The weather has been cold recently, and many students are eager to get it. This box has just arrived, and it has already been piled up in the dormitory.
Jiang Xiao’s pick-up here is that some classes will send individuals to pick it up collectively, and some who don’t want to pick it up, he will deliver it to the door. If they are free, they will deliver it by themselves. , Calculate the money according to the list.
It rained heavily today, and the rechargeable hand warmer was relatively heavy. Jiang Xiaojin’s ones were mostly the beautiful cartoon plush versions, and they were too bulky to give away. It was heavy rain again, and many people didn’t want to take them by themselves. Let him deliver it to your door.
The weather has been wet and cold recently, and many people are waiting for this. The work-study students on heavy rainy days are somewhat reluctant to come, and the remaining few are really unable to send them.
There were relatively few classes today, so Jiang Xiao, Chen Lang and Xu Liang decided to attend by themselves. They took out raincoats from the cabinet, and Jiang Xiao saw that Lin Chengyu also began to wear raincoats.
"I'll go too," he said, "Hurry up and come back after delivery."
Chen Lang and Xu Liang drove a tricycle to the side of the Polytechnic Institute, and Jiang Xiao and Lin Chengyu sent it to this area.
Although the Institute of Technology is a bit far away, it’s okay to drive a tricycle, and the dormitory buildings over there are relatively high, and they are basically equipped with elevators. There are dozens of dormitory buildings on Jiang Xiao’s side, but only the seventh floor Yes, there is no elevator, and there are too many girls, so I can't carry it. It's not enough for Jiang Xiao to send it downstairs to the dormitory. Usually, she greets the dormitory auntie and helps carry it up.
Xu Liang was thinner, and Chen Lang hadn't healed from a muscle strain on his playing leg recently. Lin Chengyu knew that Jiang Xiao wanted to take care of them, so he didn't stop him and wanted to help.
It wasn't the first time he helped Jiang Xiao carry goods.
Many girls know Jiang Xiao. When he helps deliver the goods, many of them will help carry a little, so that he doesn't have to work so hard.
After a few trips, Jiang Xiao sat downstairs in the dormitory panting heavily, and there were still some small things like snacks stuffed by girls in his pockets.
