Wang Yan was looking for a small factory. It had a small shop, a small business area, and an even smaller business scope. It only had various cardboard boxes, but the advantage was that it was willing to take on odd jobs.

I went to the place and found the person in charge, a very powerful man, and introduced myself as Wu.

Boss Wu looked at Wang Yan for a while, with a hint of disgust on his face. He obviously didn't trust the young and poor-looking boy.

"Little brother, what are you going to do?"

"A fruit box for watermelons... Is there a box that can hold watermelons?!"

As soon as Wang Yan spoke, the other party's brows furrowed even more tightly and his tone became less interesting.

"Are you kidding me? What box do you use to put watermelons in?"

Wang Yan didn't understand.

“Can’t it be packed in a box, or does it not have to be packed in a box?”

"Ah!"

Boss Wu chuckled lightly, took out a pack of soft red plums, took out one and lit it slowly, glanced sideways at Wang Yan, and raised the cigarette case casually: "Want one?"

"Thank you, Boss Wu, I don't know how."

Wang Yan hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

Boss Wu took back the cigarette case nonchalantly, curled his lips, and complained: "Even if you don't know how to smoke, you should at least bring a pack with you when you go out to do errands. No one in society is your parent. It's not strange to be polite to many people. Do you understand?"

Wang Yan blushed a little with embarrassment and felt aggrieved.

Damn it, I'm just a high school student, how do I understand all your twists and turns?

In a fair transaction, shouldn’t we just pay the money and deliver the goods in one hand?

However, Wang Yan is just immature, not stupid, so he knows very well that for his small needs, others may not be willing to pay him.

So it is true that I have something to ask for from others, and I should lower my attitude.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm a quasi-college student doing a summer internship. I really don't have any experience. Thank you for reminding me!"

Wang Yan immediately apologized and his attitude was very sincere.

Selling watermelons at a stall is a lot of trouble. Now that you have decided to train yourself, you can't act like a young master.

Otherwise, why not lie down at home and take a nap, and when you have enough breathing wages, go out and have a good time?

Bars, nightclubs, KTVs, shopping malls, restaurants, foot massage parlors, as long as you have a big wallet, you will be a master wherever you go.

Going out to run errands is a different set of rules.

Gotta learn.

I don't know if it was Wang Yan's attitude that impressed the other party. When he heard the words "summer internship," Boss Wu's expression finally softened.

"Hey, this kid is a high school student who just graduated this year? Which school is he from?"

Wang Yan told the truth: "Yes, I am studying in Experimental High School."

"Haha, my daughter is in No. 2 Middle School. She just entered her senior year of high school this year. She will take the college entrance examination next year... How did you do in the exam?"

Wang Yan scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, feeling reserved and awkward.

"It's a pretty average second normal school. I'm not the material for studying, so I want to take advantage of the summer vacation to train myself so that I can do something in the future."

"have a thought!"

Instead, Boss Wu gave him a thumbs up, as if he had been scratched.

"Boys are different from little girls. In order to support a family in the future, it is necessary to have experience and career. If you can drink and smoke and talk well, then you are called a man!"

Is it really necessary to smoke while drinking?

Maybe……

But I am a powerful person. As long as I get through this hurdle, I no longer need to socialize for the sake of socializing. Your theory does not apply to me.

Wang Yan didn't quite agree with it, so he abruptly changed the subject.

"Boss Wu, how are your daughter's grades? I have a lot of college entrance examination review materials. I can't make much money selling scrap paper. If you don't mind it, I can get it for you later."

"My daughter's grades are great! She ranks among the 50th and 60th in her grade every time she takes exams. If she works hard for another year, she should be fine..."

"Oh, that's really awesome, much better than me!"

"Hahaha!"

Boss Wu laughed heartily and was very proud.

"Okay, I see it's not easy for you. You know how to exercise at a young age. If you don't help, it seems so inhumane to me... What are you going to do?"

Finally coming to the topic, Wang Yan's spirits perked up.

"The main thing is to make the box look taller. It doesn't matter what material it is made of. It must be fall-proof and shock-proof, and it must be able to withstand dozens of kilograms of weight. Then it should be printed with the name of my uncle's research institute."

"Trouble, your request is not easy to handle."

Boss Wu frowned.

"Very few people use boxes to pack watermelons. The cardboard boxes cannot bear such a heavy weight. Even if one box is not leaking, the bottom will definitely collapse when they are stacked together.

That kind of plastic cage is not afraid of pressure, but the cost per unit is too high.

Moreover, the watermelons vary from big to small, and the big ones may not fit in. For the small ones, you have to stuff a lot of fillings such as sponge foam inside.

Look, it’s troublesome and expensive, how can you sell your watermelons to make back the money?”

Wang Yan opened his mouth and started talking nonsense, using the draft he had prepared before.

"The melons I want to sell are new varieties developed by the Research Institute of the Agricultural University of Mining Province. They are currently being promoted on an experimental basis. Thanks to my uncle's credit, I got a batch of goods and am ready to take them out to test the waters.

Think about it, that melon was made with scientific research funds, and the cost is already high. Although the institute has no need to recoup the cost for the time being, I personally do!

If you don’t sell it more expensively, how can you make money?

Anyway, it’s expensive enough in the first place, and I didn’t get many of them, so I just have to add the packaging cost and sell them at a high retail price.”

To put it bluntly, the overall performance is reasonable, but the performance is very average.

Fortunately, Boss Wu didn't have any doubts - it's really not the fault of anyone to doubt a small stall-training business worth 10,000 yuan.

"Okay, I understand what you mean.

Don’t tell me, it’s a good business that can earn you some pocket money. We in Gujiao have no shortage of wealthy people who are willing to give it a try. As long as the quantity is not large, we can definitely sell it!”

Boss Wu slapped his thigh and turned around to walk into the factory.

"Come with me, can you take a look at this box?"

What Boss Wu brought out was actually the kind of plastic cage that holds oranges in winter. It has a cover and can be sealed on the outside. It has good toughness and pressure resistance.

"A customer once entrusted me to go to a plastic factory to make a custom order, but there were a lot left. They come in three sizes: large, medium, and small. They can hold melons up to 25 centimeters high and 40 centimeters long. If you want them, I'll give you a cheaper price."

Wang Yan looked back and forth at the box carefully, and an idea gradually emerged in his mind.

The cage is milky white and quite strong, but its texture is average and it doesn't look very high-end.

But really high-end boxes... are not affordable and may not be suitable.

So we have to find a solution elsewhere.

So Wang Yan asked: "Boss Wu, can I print some promotional pages and seal them with plastic film on the lid of the box?"

Boss Wu touched the green stubble on the back of his head and frowned tightly.

"You can do it, but it's definitely useless. Who still reads the brochures these days?! When buying melons, you have to pick them from a pile and then carry them away. Who can be bothered to read advertisements?!"

Faced with Boss Wu's doubts, Wang Yan smiled.

"I'm selling melons, I won't let you choose!"

He was obviously young and immature, but at this moment, Wang Yan had an unusual sense of confidence.

Boss Wu looked the young man in front of him up and down, and suddenly felt a little unsure. The ridicule that came to his mouth rolled on the tip of his tongue, and then he put it back.

"Okay, you are the customer. I will do whatever you say, Lao Wu. But don't talk to me about the price. The small one is 2 yuan, the medium one is 4 yuan, and the large one is 6 yuan. Do you win or not?"

"Can."

Wang Yan readily agreed to the price and then put forward his own requirements.

"But I only plan to take 100 pieces in the first batch, 50 each for large and medium sizes. I will take the rest when needed. I will pay in cash, and you have to help me polish the burrs of the box."

"Damn, just a few hundred yuan business, tossing my workers..."

After muttering, Boss Wu thought for a while and finally nodded in agreement.
Chapter completed!
