Chapter 35 I know the street stall owner
The next day,
As usual, Fang Bai guided part-time students to repair TVs and read in his spare time. He planned to go back to school in the afternoon to find the teacher to answer questions.
In the morning, Fang Shi rode his bicycle to Yongjia No. 1 Middle School, wanting to share the good news about TV sales with his wife.
However, when he arrived at the school gate, no matter how he explained, the guard did not allow him to enter the campus to look for people, mistakenly thinking that he was someone who made excuses to enter the campus to find students.
It was normal for the guard not to want to talk to him because he looked like a peasant.
Fang Shi was also helpless. He stood outside the iron gate and looked in. He happened to see his wife cleaning not far away and shouted "Fengqing".
Liu Fengqing was busy cleaning with her head down when she suddenly heard a familiar shout. She looked up and saw a familiar person waving to her.
When the two met, Fang Shi told his wife about the booming TV sales.
"Oh my god, we sold 18,000 in one day!"
Liu Fengqing raised her eyebrows and opened her mouth wide, "Then our family will get rich, right?"
His monthly salary is only fifty yuan, and he has no other benefits.
It's not that she likes this job, but that she can't find a stable job, otherwise where will her children go to school and spend money to find one?
A few days ago, her son suggested that she resign, but she was still hesitating.
But now, her son has earned more than twenty years of her salary in one day, and she has nothing to hesitate about anymore.
She decided to go over and help out and do some chores.
"Yes, I sold 29 TVs, and I was responsible for collecting the money. The bag was so full that there was no room to put it.
I heard from my son that there are probably close to 200 units that can be repaired. If they can be sold out, wow, there are really over 100,000 units. Fang Shi said excitedly, feeling proud of his son.
This money-making model is more profitable than opening a small factory.
There are many people in the village who open small workshops in the county town, most of which earn 10,000 yuan. The one who earns the most is estimated to earn 100,000 yuan, and his factory is relatively large.
Now, my son tinkers with a truck of televisions and earns more than the most awesome boss in the village.
He should maintain the glorious image of his father in front of his son, but be a little shy in front of his wife.
"Okay, I'm going to go through the resignation procedures now. You can go back to your son to help." Liu Fengqing finally decided.
…
In the morning, Fang Bai negotiated a lease with the landlord next door. The annual rent was 450 yuan, which was 90 yuan more expensive than what he rented.
If you want to rent, rent it; if you don't, rent it.
Spending an extra 90 yuan to facilitate himself, Fang Bai felt that it didn't matter if he was cheated.
Seven people came to repair the TV this morning. The original shop floor was filled with TVs, making it extremely narrow and difficult to move.
With one more shop, there will be more space for everyone to move around.
In the afternoon,
Fang Bai bought a bag of six or seven kilograms of apples and came to Oubei No. 1 Middle School.
When I entered the school, I gave an apple to the guard and chatted with him for a few words.
The guard sent him into the campus with a smile and said he would come back to school often when he had time.
The janitor earns the lowest salary in the school, but to the students, he is the most powerful person after the principal.
If you are familiar with the guard, you can walk out of the campus without asking for leave.
Fang Bai walked up the stairs, crossed the hall, and arrived at the class teacher's office. When he was about to enter, he heard several teachers talking about the TVs sold at the stall at Oubei Bus Terminal.
If you think about it carefully, it is normal for these teachers to know.
The south gate of Oubei No. 1 Middle School is only two to three hundred meters away from Oubei Passenger Terminal. Some teachers live in the urban area and pass by there after get off work in the afternoon. It is normal to see it, and maybe join in the fun and go in to have a look.
He left the stall just after four o'clock in the afternoon, otherwise he would have bumped into the teacher.
"Yesterday when I was going home, I passed by the passenger terminal and saw a TV store selling TVs. There were so many people buying them. All TVs are only 20% off, including large color TVs, and the 21-inch one is only 1,100."
"Why is it so cheap? I'm rushing to buy it with 20% off."
"That TV is a bit old. It is said to be an imported test set. That's why it is so cheap. Many people are rushing to get it. Alas, it's a pity that I don't have any money with me. I might as well buy a color TV back home. I can't afford the 21-inch one. I can't afford the 14-inch one." That’s fine too.”
"If it can be used, you can indeed buy it. I want to buy it. Teacher Zhang, is that stall still there?" Fang Bai's class teacher Zhan Feng asked.
"He said he would come to set up a stall tomorrow."
Fang Bai knocked on the door before going in. He laughed and distributed the fruit to the three teachers in the office, leaving the most remaining fruit to Zhan Feng, the head teacher.
The last time he gave it to the old head teacher’s office teacher, this time it was the turn of the new head teacher and all the teachers.
After the same operation, all the teachers politely accepted Fang Bai's fruits and got to know Fang Bai. They felt that Fang Bai was a particularly interesting student.
After the teacher accepted the fruit, Fang Bai interrupted: "Teachers, I just heard that you want to buy an imported TV."
"We're just talking casually. If it's really that cheap, we might consider it."
"Oh, that's right.
If you really want to buy it, I know the street stall owner, and there won’t be too many discounts. At most, I can give you a 10% discount on the original price.
His TV is an imported test machine. It is old, but the quality is fine. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the teachers were slightly surprised.
A female teacher wanted to buy a color TV, her eyes sparkling: "Classmate Fang Bai, it's true, you're not joking, are you? Do you really know the boss?"
"Of course we know each other. We are from the same village, and our surname is Fang. We have a good relationship." Fang Bai said with a smile, the boss is himself, and the little boss is his father.
It's just that he doesn't want the teacher to know that his family sells TVs.
You should always ask your teacher for advice and be grateful to your teacher. It can also be considered as giving back to society.
Most teachers these days really devote themselves wholeheartedly to their students. It is common for them to work overtime and correct homework without overtime pay. They patrol the student dormitories at night, pay attention to each student's family situation, and occasionally do home visits. They don't want to be like second-rate students in society.
In addition, it was nothing for Fang Bai to give the teacher a preferential price during the acquaintance. It was not to highlight how awesome he was in front of the teacher. That would be too boring.
"Oh, so that's it. Then how can we get a discount when we buy it?"
"I will go back to visit the boss in the same village in the afternoon. When you buy it, just give me my name and say that I introduced it."
After Fang Bai finished speaking, he said to the head teacher, "If the head teacher wants to buy it, it's okay to get an additional 20% off on the original basis. I got it at a friendly price, only for one unit."
"Fang Bai, thank you. I'll think about it. After all, TVs are not cheap." Zhan Feng was moved when he heard the discount. He was a little suspicious and didn't know whether it was true or not.
Anyway, let’s ask about it when the time comes.
If there was such a big discount, she really owed the students a favor. Yu Shuo said to Fang Bai:
"Thank you in advance, classmate Fang Bai."
"Yes, I would like to thank Fang Bai first, whether I buy it or not." Other teachers said, feeling that Fang Bai might be bragging, but he hoped it was true.
"Teacher, you're welcome, it's just a small matter." Fang Bai laughed, took out his notebook from his backpack, and asked the teacher for advice without any hesitation.
The questions he raised were discussed heatedly by several teachers.
As soon as Fang Bai entered the classroom, the students were just a little curious. They felt that this guy often didn't come to school, so why was he repeating classes?
"Boss, you're finally here!" Wang Dakai saw Fang Bai arriving and stood up to greet him with a smile.
When other students heard him call Fang Bai that way, they became even more curious. How could Fang Bai be able to make this big man volunteer to be his younger brother.
Of course, most classmates felt that the two of them were not doing their jobs properly and were engaging in gangster behavior, and they looked down upon them.
"Well, here I come!"
Fang Bai patted his shoulder and sat down. This guy liked to call him "boss", so let him.
He felt that this man was flexible and sincere in making friends, so he was worth making friends with.
Next, Fang Bai took two afternoon classes to get a feel for the learning atmosphere in the classroom.
In fact, as he sat in the classroom, he missed the days when he went to school with Qin Shuyu.
In his second year of high school and his third year of high school, he sat in the back seat of Qin Shuyu and could still see the girl's long black hair. He could also chat with her and spend a wonderful high school life.
Sitting directly in front of him now is Zhang Xiaoai, a fat-faced girl who is quite lively. At the same table with her is Zheng Ran, a thin girl with acne-covered face who is very shy.
Of course, Fang Bai didn't think they were ugly, and they could still chat together after class.
When Zhang Xiaoai saw Fang Bai sit down, she turned her head and put on a big smile: "Fang Bai, I haven't seen you for many days."
"Well, classmate Xiao Ai, long time no see." Fang Bai suddenly remembered the voice wake-up words of later generations of smart devices and wanted to laugh a little.
"Boss, the little cutie is very good."
Zhang Xiaoai raised his eyebrows: "Big man, I don't allow you to call me that. Please call me Zhang Xiaoai."
Wang Dakai had a silly smile on his face: "Okay, little cutie."
Zhang Xiaoai snorted, was too lazy to pay attention to him, and sat upright to read.
Fang Bai knew that the big man was pretending to be stupid. Could it be that he really liked this classmate Zhang Xiaoai?
Okay, the two of them match up well.
"Boss..." Wang Dakai wanted to chat with Fang Bai.
"Read a book and stop talking nonsense!"
"Oh, okay." Wang Dakai also sat upright, picked up the book and read it carefully.
Fang Bai is reading seriously. In a few days, the monthly exam will be taken. He has been busy doing business recently, but he can't fall behind in studying.
He spends the most time on English, followed by physics and mathematics, and the least time on Chinese.
Fang Bai believes that if the Chinese language score can be improved from 92 to 100, it will be qualified, while other subjects must reach at least 80% of the full score.
The full score is 710 points, 80% is 568 points, and you can go to a key university to complete the two-level upgrade requirements.
If it is a 750-point system, it would be 600 points, which is very difficult.
Therefore, it is very difficult to get into a key university.
Fang Bai tried his best to study and hoped to have no regrets.
After school in the afternoon, Fang Bai ran to the teacher's office to ask questions, which delayed him for more than ten minutes before leaving school.
I just returned to the rental house and saw my sister and mother coming, and my father also came back.
When Fang Tingting saw her brother coming back, she ran up to him and hugged his arm: "Brother, you have built so many TVs, so doesn't our family have one color TV per capita?
I can occupy one, Huo Huo. "
Fang Bai heard his sister ask this and knew that she hadn't left school these days, so he said, "As long as it doesn't affect your studies, you can just watch one with one eye."
"Wow, it's true, I'm so kind."
"It's fake. I want to eat shit. I watch too many TV series and my brain is full of maggots."
"That won't work. You just promised me that I will occupy one when the holiday comes."
Liu Fengqing was very happy to see her child. She suddenly remembered something and took out a letter from her pouch and handed it to her son: "Son, Xiaoyu wrote you a letter. Remember to reply to him."
The envelope was from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics and was signed "Qin Shuyu". She knew who wrote it and told her son not to miss important things.
Letters in this era generally had to be written down, so that if they couldn't be sent, they could still be returned to the sender.
Fang Bai quickly took it: "Mom, when did you arrive?"
"The village chief called the horn last night to announce the pickup. I'll bring it to you when I get home in the afternoon."
Fang Bai said "Oh". The postman usually delivered the letter to the elementary school. The village chief would call the loudspeaker every once in a while to notify the whole village, or he would go to the elementary school mailroom to check at random times.
In some villages, the postman delivers directly to the doorstep, but the terrain of their villages is very different, and the postman is not willing to deliver it to the door, unless it is a particularly important document, or the person is notified to pick it up in the town.
Fang Bai took the letter back to the bedroom, opened the envelope and read it.
Let’s look at the writing time first. It was October 16th. It was mailed to my home on October 24th. Today is already October 25th, Thursday.
Just after watching it for a while, my sister came in and said with a smile on her face: "Brother, I have a sister-in-law. She is still a college student. You are so awesome. Mom said that my sister-in-law is so beautiful. Why are the flowers taken away by my brother, a pig?" Well, I can’t figure it out.”
"Your brother is incredibly charming, you see."
Fang Bai pushed his sister out of the bedroom and locked the door, preventing him from reading the letter.
