Summer vacation, at noon.

"Dad, where are the two Taigu cake factories in our Taigu?" Zhang Shang asked.

"What do you want to do?" Squatted on the ground, leaning against the edge of the earthen kang, and blew a sip of beer and squeezing two bites of rice. It was comfortable.

"I plan to find a job during the summer vacation. I can't rest for two months. I heard that the two factories are recruiting people, so I'll go and have a look."

Zhang Shang sat on the chair and took a sip of noodle soup.

"Huh?" Zhang's father looked up, and he really didn't expect his son to have such awareness and become sensible.

After thinking for a while, he said, "One is on the way to Juxianlou. Pay attention to the alley on both sides of the road. When you go in, the other is in the Iron Third Bureau. You can see it when you go around there. There is a sign at the factory gate."

"I know, dad." Zhang Shang nodded, making plans in his heart.

After dinner, Zhang's father slept on the kang for twenty minutes, then went out to rent it out again, and had to save the tuition for the child.

At two o'clock, Yang Xin went to work, Zhang Shang washed his face and scanned the room.

It's pitch black, so you have to turn on the lights at noon, otherwise you won't be able to see clearly.

As long as it rains, the house is so cold and wet that as soon as you enter the door, you will feel a cool air blowing on your face, and the spring and autumn change instantly. Even so, this family will live there.

"Wait for me." Zhang Shang's eyes were deep. "Two months."

Ride for twenty minutes.

After walking around the Iron and Third Bureau for several times, walking around the streets and alleys, finally asking the old lady sitting on the street, then I found the Gulou Taigu Cake Factory.

It is said to be a factory, but it is actually just a big yard.

The old double-open iron railing door just now let the van enter. A wooden sign "Gulou Taigu Cake" was hung with iron wire on the door. It was so simple and simple.

When I pushed the cart in, there were several low bungalows, four or five bicycles parked scattered, and the "buzzing" sound of machines came from the bungalow, which was very loud.

When I saw someone coming in, I was in the room near the door. Let’s talk about it as a communication room. An old man came out with a white sweatshirt. He was a little black with a sloppy beard on his face, which was very simple.

Looking at Zhang Shang, looking at his "Maserati" eyes, he asked calmly: "Young man, is there anything wrong?"

"Uncle, your surname is yours? I have a small supermarket in my house. I want to go to Taigu cakes from us. Are you in charge?" I parked the car and locked it, Zhang Shang asked.

"Just call me Liu Deshun. Where is your home open? Is it a specialty store or a seller?" The old man waved and signaled Zhang Shang to enter the room and said.

It’s already hot in the north of June, and it’s not fun to expose the sun at noon.

When I entered the house, I was a simple single bed, with scattered sheets and uneven cement floors, revealing the bricks that were trampled black, and a rough cabinet with black TVs of some ages on it. The picture was blurry and I could watch it.

"My family runs a specialty store, which is in Yuci, and is currently in decoration. I'm going to school at our Taigu No. 5 Middle School. My dad asked me to come and ask." Zhang Shang said he was full of nonsense.

"Yuci? The rent is not cheap, it is much more expensive than our Taigu Cake. Our Taigu Cake makes a small profit, and it is not easy to protect the capital for this specialty."

Liu Deshun took out a cross stool under the bed and handed it to the tab. There were several cowhide belts on the stool. The stool was stretched open and the cowhide was tight, so he could sit there.

"What my dad thought was to open this specialty store and then go to supermarkets, convenience stores, and shopping malls around Yuci, so that everyone can sell them together. Our specialty store is a transit station. If the supermarket wants to get the goods, go to our place to get them. You don't have to go to Taigu, it's a bit far."

"This idea is good, and our factory is also recruiting agents." Liu Deshun's eyes were bright. Seeing that the factory was in a downturn, he was anxious, but he had no choice but to sell.

In this era, supermarkets and convenience stores have to be opened, and the supply of goods is to be obtained by yourself.

If you want to purchase goods, you have to find a manufacturer, or get goods from the second dealer, which makes the profit much less.

Unlike later generations, other people's goods must be put on the shelves in your supermarket. You have to beg you. If I am optimistic about your goods, you can put on the airs and even pay a deposit for me.

Don’t even go in to open a convenience store.

When the delivery person comes, you put the goods on the shelf and put them neatly. I like you, you can only serve the goods.

I was anxious. Seeing that the shelves were not clean, you had to wipe them with a cloth for me.

And even the locals in the Gulou Taigu Cake can’t be found, let alone outsiders, so they can be sold in Taigu, and there are no goods available in other counties and cities.

"Uncle Liu, how much is your factory price of Taigu cake?"

"Give me a call from your father, will I talk to him?" Liu Deshun was afraid that Zhang Shang would not make the decision, so the child was not weaned at first sight and was still in school, a junior high school student.

"I can make the decision." Zhang Shang said a little heavy, and then said, "I'm not going to go to it anymore. My dad's store is also opened for me, so I can find a way out."

Liu Deshun was skeptical and whispered: "It's OK."

Anyway, when you get goods from him, you have to settle the goods in cash, and you don’t owe them credit or owe them, which is another reason why the factory has not developed.

There are still factories that don’t let you owe money these days?

Who will purchase goods from you?

Zhang Shang also planned to open a convenience store in 2017. After asking, he found out that it basically costs no money to get the goods.

A hundred thousand yuan can be used for goods worth at most a few thousand yuan, all of which are available on credit.

After the goods are served, the goods are sold, and I will give you money.

The things are suppressed and will be returned to you to pay the bill in the future. This is how supermarkets and convenience stores are open.

So in later generations, there were a lot of convenience stores all over the streets and alleys, and there was a few hundred meters away.

As long as you have a storefront and a shelf, you basically don’t have to pay for the purchase. If you need a phone call, the dealer will deliver it to you, and you will only make money and not compensate.

Of course, it’s not a good idea to even earn rent.

"Our Taigu supermarket purchases goods from me, and they are packed in one pound, 2 yuan per bag, and sold for 4 yuan on the shelves. This is the market price. We ship the goods by box, one box of eight bags, and 20 yuan."

Zhang Shang smiled and said, "That's their price, and the goods are not sold much. I am a specialty store, a big market in Yuci. There are at least 300 supermarkets and convenience stores, and I don't sell a hundred boxes a day? Moreover, if Yuci sells well, I will open a specialty store in other places. You don't have to invest or run around, and wait for the start of work to receive cash. You have to give me a real price."

Liu Deshun listened quietly to Zhang Shang bragging. After a long time, he finished speaking, and sighed: "The little baby is pretty good. Your dad has a good son."

"That's it! If you give a affordable price, we will cooperate to start."

"Let's do it, 18 per box, the lowest price."

"You are not sincere."

"Isn't this sincere? If the convenience stores in Taigu know the price, my factory will collapse."

"I'm different from them." Zhang Shang shook his head, stood up and prepared to leave, and muttered when he went out: "Taigu still has Xirong, the price he gave is lower than you."

After saying that, he pushed the bicycle out and left.

Liu Deshun raised the curtain and chased after him, shouting: "Hey! Young man, don't leave, 16 boxes, 2 yuan per bag. If he is cheaper than me, I will hit the wall today!"

Zhang Shang rode his bike away, with a smile hidden in his eyes. Seeing that the factory was in a downturn, his business could save lives, but it would not be cheaper for others. He turned around and shouted: "I'll come back tomorrow, you'll think about it."

If Liu Deshun wasn't wearing slippers and was old, he would have caught up and picked up Zhang Shang and beat him up. This naughty kid, chatting for a long time, and teasing your uncle?

...

Juxianlou is a famous place in Taigu. When you go in and out, it is said that only 30 yuan can make you weak legs. Isn’t it cheap enough?

Xirong's factory is not difficult to find, just a wide alley next to the road is just up to the top.

This factory is stronger than the Drum Tower. The factory door is wider and two large black iron doors are opened so that the truck can enter at will.

The mechanized farming road on the ground is thick and very flat, but the factory is not big, and there are more than twenty cars in the yard.

Zhang Shang saw that the factory door was wide open and no one cared about it, so he pushed the cart in.

"Hey, what are you doing? I'll be free from entering!" A middle-aged man came out of the doorman, with his bare head wearing an octagonal hat, and he was wearing a crooked voice, speaking with a hooligan aura.

"Is your business in charge here or not? I'll buy the goods." Zhang Shang stopped.

"You? What do you know about the little shit doll?" He looked up and down and saw that the bicycle on the board had no frame. It was obviously funny, and then said, "Let your adults come."

Then chase people straight away.

Zhang Shang didn't say anything, he turned around and left. He knew that he was young and it was difficult for people to convince.

There is a phone call on the big black iron gate, so I silently write it down.

Come to the street, find a public telephone booth and call.

"Hey, hello, Xirong Taigu Cake Factory."

"I'm from Walmart Supermarket in Taiyuan. Don't let people enter your factory?"

"Huh?" When I heard the provincial capital Walmart, I was stunned on the other side of the phone and immediately filled with smiles: "I must have misunderstood. The gate of our factory can be opened at any time."

"Oh, I've driven me out, let's talk on the phone. What's the price for your Taigu cake in our Walmart supermarkets around the world?"

When I heard this across the phone, my face broke with a smile. Walmart around the world, I x!

He hurriedly replied: "The market price is one bag, one pound, four pieces of cake, and the ex-factory price is 2.5 yuan."

"That's the price outside. We can sell your Taigu to the world. The goods are sold in large quantities. You can give me a sincere price."

"2 yuan, the lowest price is guaranteed by other factories that there is no lower price than me."

"Then forget it, the people in your factory guards are not attracted to you, which means that the things in your factory are not very good."

Bang.

Zhang Shang hung up the phone.

Xirong Factory.

Um?

Um??

Um???

The factory manager widened his eyes, the phone in his hand stopped in the air, and he felt the cold wind...

It seemed as if the rolling money was in front of you, but your brother-in-law pulled a shit up and offended Grandpa Mao...

"Guo Sanmin, you! Give me! Get out! Come over!" The roar that shook the earth made the glass rumble.

In the communication room, Comrade Guo, who was watching TV leisurely, made a loud voice, covering up the noise of the machine running in the factory.

"Hmm? Who told me?" I looked out the window and listened carefully. No one was there, and then watched TV.

I have always had hallucinations lately and got crazy by the noise in the factory.
