Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 25.2: The Prodigal Son (48)
“You two should come and take a look,” Shao Yu said.
Amao and Xiaocao also hurriedly came over.
“You guys think about it together, are there any problems with these goods?” After Shao Yu finished speaking, he waited aside, like a teacher, watching the three children discuss like a teacher.
“Why did you put shoes and cakes together? If others see it, they will probably think that the cakes are unclean.” Shao Xiaocao asked.
Shao Dabao immediately said: “My shoes are all clean, not dirty at all!”
“Then did you sell it?” Shao Xiaocao asked.
Amao said from the side: “If you put them next to each other, if others take a look at them, they may not want to buy them, and they will instinctively think that the shoes have soiled the cakes.”
Shao Dabao himself was not particular about things. After hearing that the two of them agreed, he had no choice but to change his shoes.
“Why don’t you sell pens, ink, paper and inkstones?” asked Amao, who had just started studying.
“Why don’t you sell lanterns?” Shao Xiaocao asked.
Shao Dabao:…
“How do I get the lantern? Who do I sell the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to?” Shao Dabao said angrily.
He looked at Shao Yu on the side and said, “They just come up with random ideas.”
Shao Yu raised his eyebrows and said, “It’s not a random idea.”
“How many scholars live in the alley? How can I sell pens, inks, paper and inkstones?” Shao Dabao said.
“If Amao was your guest, what would you sell to him?” Shao Yu asked.
Shao Dabao was stunned when he heard the words, and said, “Naturally it is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.”
“Amao wants to buy this, do you know what the people in the alley want to buy?” Shao Yu asked.
At this moment, Shao Dabao was directly questioned. He looked at the dazzling array of items in his cargo box. When purchasing goods in the shop, every time he picked something, he would feel that someone might need it, so it seemed so messy. .
“Which alley did you go to?” Shao Yu asked again.
“There are many shops in the east of the city, so I went to the south of the city. There are few shops there and it is difficult to buy things.” Shao Dabao was quite proud when he said this.
Shao Yu laughed when he heard this and said, “Do the people in the south of the city have money?”
This immediately stunned Shao Dabao. There were indeed few shops in the south of the city, but the people there also had no money. The south of the city was a famous slum.
“Selling goods there, you still want to take advantage of them for a penny or two, so do you think the goods can be sold there?” Shao Yu asked.
“Then I…should I go to the east of the city to sell goods?” Shao Dabao asked.
“But you also said that there are many shops in the east of the city.” Shao Yu said.
There are many shops in the east of the city, which means that it is convenient to buy things, and the origin of the goods in the shops is clear. So why do these people have to get the goods from the sellers? After all, the salesman may come once, but he won’t come again a second time.
“Then where should I sell my goods?” Shao Dabao asked.
“Where do you think you can sell goods?” Shao Yu returned his doubts to him.
“Countryside!” Shao Xiaocao suddenly said.
“There are few shops in the countryside. Every time we go to a salesman, people always surround him for a long time.” The reason why Shao Xiaocao knows this clearly is because Mrs. Wang family is in the countryside.
She once saw in the countryside, when the salesman arrived, a group of people were as excited as if they were celebrating the New Year, and the salesman was very welcome wherever he went.
The countryside is far away from the city and has a shortage of materials. The people there are busy with work and will only go to the city to go to the market on certain days. Therefore, the arrival of salesmrm has always been very welcome.
But Shao Dabao rejected immediately and said, “I don’t want to go to the countryside. It’s so far and so tiring. What if I encounter a robber?”
Shao Yu heard this and said: “Under the rule of this state, there has been no robbery on the road for ten years.”
Under the rule of the imperial dynasty, Qingming dynasty, the borders are stable, in Shao Yu’s view, it is worthy of the four characters of “Peace and Prosperity”.
“In the final analysis, you are just afraid of hardship.” Shao Yu said.
Shao Dabao asked helplessly: “Is there no other way? Do I have to go to the countryside?”
“Go to the south of the city and sell the goods at a price lower than the market price.” Shao Yu said.
“Then I can only earn a living after a hard day’s work, and in the end I won’t lose anything.” Shao Dabao was unwilling again.
Shao Yu asked directly: “Your sister prepared lunch and water for you, why didn’t you take it?”
Shao Dabao felt depressed when he thought of this. He had sold two hairbands after a hard day’s work today.
The money from the sale was enough for him to buy a steamed bun, which was not as good as the cake Shao Xiaocao prepared for him.
Shao Yu continued: “If you want to make money, you have to start a small business. In a small business, if you work hard all day and make money, no matter how much, it is already a success.”
“Then am I successful?” Shao Dabao asked.
“Did you get the money back today?” Shao Yu asked.
Shao Dabao:…
All the money he earned was spent, so how could he make any money?
“Do you have any ideas in your mind about doing business, where to do it, what to sell, and how to sell it?” Shao Yu asked.
“You didn’t teach me any of this.” Shao Dabao said confidently.
Shao Yu was used to his stinky behavior, and said directly: “Do you have no brain or no mouth? You can neither think nor ask.”
