In the last three days of November, Jiang Xiao honestly wrote twenty papers, and when he came back from the holidays and started school again, his mind came alive. Once the goods are bought, they need to be sold, and the money will only work when the money is in hand.
After class, Jiang Xiao took the initiative to find someone. The girls in the class next door really didn't expect what they said at that time, Jiang Xiao really brought the goods back.
No matter what year it is, the purchasing power of girls in the rice circle is very strong, not to mention that it is what they are thinking about, plastic cards and stickers are cheaper, all of them are new pictures, which are quite different from those sold in the small shop at the door Same, girls like any stack they see. The bracelets are finely made and a little more expensive. One girl didn't have any money ready, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Keep it for me. I'll get pocket money next week. Definitely come and buy it!"
"It doesn't have to be like this," Jiang Xiao smiled, revealing a bit of a profiteer's breath, "I can give you this thing as a gift."
Most of the things he brought back are things that girls like. After all, the simple market research he did before was in this direction, but Jiang Xiao didn't know many girls, so he could only let the first batch of customers Help him spread the word.
Jiang Xiao also sold the discs and cassettes he brought back. At first, when he went to the video store on the side of the road, the other party saw that he was young. No bulk goods were accepted, so Jiang Xiao sent them away.
But these things are still sold, thanks to those girls, the scope of making friends is really wide, people lead people, even after a week or two, even people from other middle schools have found them.
Jiang Xiao’s goods are new, and the price is cheaper than outside stores, about 20% off. In order to open up the market at the beginning, he even half sold and half gave away some small things, and the girls were even happier. Those discs and The tapes all sold clean in the process.
So that when Jiang Xiao passed by that video store later, the owner of the store stopped and pulled him in to ask where he got the goods, and if there were any next time, he would get some more. During this period of time, several people came to ask if there were any. , the goods in his store looked much older.
This time, Jiang Xiao's old god is here: "Let's talk about it, I'm sold out here, and I don't have any now."
The boss was also anxious: "A lot of people are asking now, student, if you spend more time looking for it, I'll give you more money."
"No, if you are in a hurry, ask someone else." Jiang Xiao carried her schoolbag on her back, "I don't have time, I need to study."
Although he wanted to hang on to the boss, it was the truth. The midterm exam was about to come, and he was very busy. He was working on papers recently. The next time he went to Liujiang to buy goods, he would wait until the midterm exam was over.
It took more than a month for his two packs of goods to be shipped out, and the speed was already considered fast, far exceeding Jiang Xiao's expectations.
Probably because there is too much mismatch between demand and supply in small counties this year. The gap is indeed relatively large. The family has started to have money, and some junior and high school students are also rich. It’s very rare. Last week, a sophomore girl from the fifth middle school next door from a rich family picked up more than 300 yuan worth of things, including pencil cases, stickers, small cards, accessories, CDs, etc. Didn't feel expensive at all.
He earned a lot from this order, and the price was calculated according to the current market price in the county. Jiang Xiao lowered it a bit, and gave a discount to give away some small things if he bought more.
But his manpower storage and logistics costs are basically negligible. Calculated, after selling the goods worth 3,000 yuan, in addition to paying Ye Yingying more than 200 yuan, he still has more than 6,000 yuan left. , more than doubled.
Ye Bing's money Jiang Xiao will definitely pay back, but he
Uncle Ye's meaning is also very obvious. To him, the money is neither urgent nor lacking. It means more encouragement. Under the current situation, it is natural to play the most effective role.
Jiang Xiao paid back Ye Yingying's money a long time ago, and he still hasn't forgotten what he said earlier that he would give him a gift. The present was something he had thought about a long time ago, and it was one of the most expensive things Jiang Xiao bought from Liujiang. He went to the best library in Liujiang, where he bought a book of illustrations by You Qing, hardcover , now that prices are generally low, his collection of paintings is priced at RMB 128.
This is a well-known illustrator later on. Jiang Xiao had a favorite movie poster drawn by him, and it was full of anger and agility. Although the 128 yuan album is expensive, the paper is good and the effect is good. Part of it also introduces the life of painter You Qing in detail, and describes how he struggled to study, was admitted to the best art academy in China, and then walked step by step to the present.
Ye Yingying thought that Jiang Xiao would bring him food or something to play with, but who knew that the other party brought him a book back. He was about to complain, but the cover of the book caught his eyes.
After Ye Yingying got the book, she stopped playing cards for a few days, and whenever she had free time, she looked at the picture book, flipped it carefully, then looked at the black devil on her school uniform, and frowned He sighed for a while, and then tried to copy it by himself. His talent is very good, but facing this level, his untrained three-legged cat can't match it.
"I also want to be as good as him."
Ye Yingying said to herself, his simple and unadorned teenage wish was like a kindling, which was instantly ignited by Jiang Xiao.
Sometimes, life changes just at that moment.
Jiang Xiao can't take care of too many people, it's good that he can take care of himself at this time, but if the people around him have other possibilities, he will naturally help as much as he can.
Jiang Xiao saw this situation in his eyes and didn't say a word. It wasn't until more than a week later that Ye Yingying took the initiative to ask him: "Brother Xiao, you told me about the art student...what's the situation?"
Jiang Xiao told him what he knew, Ye Yingying was not like before, he listened carefully, and then said: "I'll ask my dad to ask."
"Okay, you tell your dad, and, last year, Houlin Yigao started to recruit art students," Jiang Xiao added, "You go to study now, you don't need to take so many points in the senior high school entrance examination, when the time comes, we can work together Go to No. 1 Middle School."
Houlin No. 1 High School is the best high school in the county. The teaching is strict. Almost the best educational resources in the entire county are placed there. The teaching performance ranks first in the city. When it comes to the grades in college, his father has long been disappointed. He never thought that he could get into a high school by himself.
"Okay," Ye Yingying heard that he could still be a classmate with Jiang Xiao, and seemed to have strengthened his mind. He finally asked happily, "I didn't expect such a good thing! Learning to draw It must be very interesting, much easier than studying hard!"
Jiang Xiao: "..."
He was suspiciously silent for a moment.
Ye Yingying saw that his face changed a little, and thought that he had been studying hard recently, so she quickly apologized: "Brother Xiao, what, I didn't mean to scold you for studying hard."
"I know," Jiang Xiao would not be angry because of such a sentence, he had that kind of kind smile on his face like a child, and when he looked closely, he felt that there was some shadow of a profiteer, "Well, learning to draw is very easy, a little Not tired, um, really."
Ye Yingying believed him very much, and nodded foolishly.
In the half semester of the third year of junior high school, the two thorns sitting in the back row of Class 15 gradually became obedient, and they never skipped classes or played cards. More than 800 of the bottom grade entered the top 500, and they have reached the middle of the grade. Everyone said that it was expected.
No one thinks that he is cheating. The teachers in class can see how hard this student is. He is the only one in class 15 who is listening carefully to the class. He often comes to ask questions after class and self-study. He has a good foundation before, so it is not surprising to get this grade .
After all, middle school education is still within the nine-year compulsory education system. There are still quite a few public junior high schools in the county. There are four public junior high schools in Houlin County, and seven or eight in the townships below. Houlin High School recruits about 1,000 students each year For a student, according to the previous score line of No. 3 Middle School, Jiang Xiao is still on the admission line. It is more stable to enter the top 200, and the top 100 is considered a guaranteed ticket.
Jiang Xiao was not complacent, he was still far from his goal, but calmly updated his study plan. Xia Wanwan was very pleasantly surprised. After seeing the results, she was happy for several days. She hummed a song and made him a pot of beef stew. That was Xia Wanwan's best dish. I haven't tasted this kind of taste for more than ten years. When I tasted it again, I naturally felt that it was the most delicious thing in the world.
His current life is thriving and everything is fine, and he hasn't expected any accidents to happen.
He didn't know that someone in Liujiang was looking for him like crazy. That photo gave Lin Chengyu clues and hope, and on the other hand, it also misled him.
