Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 27.1: The Prodigal Son (52)

Shao Dabao glanced at his younger sister and then at his elder brother.

 

At this unimportant moment, the two of them didn’t give him any hints.

 

Shao Yu did not urge him, but waited patiently for him to speak.

 

“The rich in the east and the poor in the south should use different prices…” Before Shao Dabao finished speaking, he saw Shao Yu frowning slightly and immediately changed his words: “But things are still the same, and the price should not change because of different people.”

 

“What should the price fluctuate?” Shao Yu asked.

 

Shao Dabao immediately replied: “Purchase price.”

 

“Is the purchase price just a simple purchase price?” Shao Yu asked again.

 

Shao Dabao was momentarily confused.

 

Shao Yu added: “Besides the difference in people between the east of the city and the south of the city, what other differences are there?”

 

“Distance?” Shao Dabao showed a rare moment of wisdom and said immediately: “In addition to the price of getting the goods from dad, the purchase price also includes the cost of my delivery.”

Shao Yu nodded and said, “Do you understand?”

 

Shao Dabao breathed a sigh of relief. It was rare for him to answer the question correctly on his own. He suddenly seemed to have opened up the two channels of Ren and Du, and said: “Although the levels of wealth and poverty of people in the east and south of the city are different, they are all human beings. Everyone wants to get the goods at a lower price than the store, so I should use the same price. ”

 

“Your elder brother has a good saying: A gentleman treats others with sincerity. As a gentleman, businessmen should do the same. When the costs are the same, you should use the same pricing, so that your business can be spread widely and your reputation can be spread.” Shao Yu said.

 

Shao Dabao added: “But who are more willing to trust the shop, I am afraid that even if my price is lower, it may not be able to attract them.”

 

“You are just a salesman, and you can only sell so many things every day. Are you so bold as to use the shop as a competitor?” Shao Yu’s eyes were full of surprise.

Shao Dabao:…

 

“Am I not worthy?” Shao Dabao asked, looking at the three family members beside him.

 

The three of them nodded together.

 

Shao Yu said directly: “The city is different from the countryside. Even in a place with few shops like Nancheng, the people there are not very dependent on the salesmen.”

 

“Then I can’t stay in the city and sell goods?” When he thought of going to the countryside, Shao Dabao was first afraid of hardship, and secondly, he felt afraid of going to a strange place.

Shao Yu said: “No one said you can’t stay in the city to sell goods, but if you stay in the city for a long time, you will know where it is better to go.”

 

Shao Dabao was a little unconvinced, but after Shao Yu helped him analyze it today, he did have a better understanding of selling goods.

 

Early the next morning, Shao Dabao regained his composure. This time before he left home, he looked at Shao Xiaocao eagerly.

 

Shao Xiaocao had prepared things for him the day before, so he had nothing to prepare today.

 

“No pancakes?” Shao Dabao asked pitifully.

“Are the steamed buns outside not delicious?” Shao Xiaocao said.

 

Shao Dabao choked up and secretly said to Shao Xiaocao, a person who didn’t dare to speak loudly before, but now she has learned to be yin and yang. This change was brought about by Shao Yu. Although such a sister is not obedient enough, she is more vivid than before. .

 

The former Shao Xiaocao was as vague as a shadow in Shao Dabao’s memory, but now, this one stood there so handsomely that it was impossible to ignore it.

 

Shao Dabao even felt that if the sister from the past was like this now, then he would not dare to give her to Zhang Meng.

 

Shao Dabao still had a glimmer of hope in his heart and asked in a low voice: “Did you really not prepare? I really want to eat pancakes.”

Shao Xiaocao couldn’t help but softened a little when she heard the words, but she always remembered Shao Yu’s exhortation, between people, even between blood relatives, there should be give and take.

 

Therefore, her attitude at this time was extraordinarily arrogant, and she said: “Then you can continue to think about it.”

 

After she finished speaking, he stopped talking to Shao Dabao, and didn’t even prepare a water bag for him.

 

Shao Dabao had worked hard all day yesterday, but he was not so stunned today. Shao Xiaocao didn’t prepare anything for him, so he found a water bag and went out, rummaging around in the kitchen again.

 

Obviously every meal at home is very rich, but there is nothing good in the cupboard, not even pickles, only half a bowl of leftover rice.

 

Shao Dabao had no choice but to go out with the leftovers.

 

Shao Dabao hesitated between the south of the city and the east of the city, and finally chose to go to the south of the city. It was not that he deliberately got up wherever he fell, but that the road to the south of the city was closer.

 

Shao Dabao was carrying a cargo box and shouting in the alley in the south of the city. At first no one paid attention to him like yesterday, but when he shouted, he suddenly had an idea and his shouting changed.

 

“Fresh cloud cakes, two for a penny.”

 

“A pair of boots suitable for traveling, two hundred cents a pair.”

 

“The latest style of headbands, three for four cents.”

 

Shao Dabao shouted and looked around. Soon, he saw a broken courtyard door not far away opening, revealing a dark woman’s face.

 

“Seller, show me your goods.”

 

Shao Dabao ran over immediately.

 

The woman was not very old, but she had a weathered appearance, her hands are full of calluses, and two small heads with disheveled hair were exposed behind her.

 

The woman’s two daughters, both young, opened their dark eyes and looked at Shao Dabao curiously.

 

“The color is so gorgeous.” Although the woman said so, her face was a little tangled.

 

Shao Dabao hurriedly said: “Four cents for three headbands, just one for each of you mother and daughters, so it’s a good deal.”

 

For the poor, every penny is precious. The woman looked at the pile of red hairbands. Although she liked them, she still couldn’t make up her mind.

 

Shao Dabao glanced at the two little girls standing on tiptoes to take a look. Normally, he might not think too much, but today when he thought of what Shao Yu said yesterday, Shao Dabao bent down slightly while holding the cargo box.

 

In this way, the two little girls can clearly see the contents of the cargo box.

 

The older little girl, looking at the red and beautiful headband, was still able to restrain herself, but the younger one had already stretched out her hand to pull the woman, pleading with laughter: ” Mother…”

 

The woman gritted her teeth and said, “For a penny, I will buy two.”

 

The two headbands that Shao Dabao sold yesterday were sold for two cents a piece, but in fact, he still made a little profit for a penny a piece.

 

“Sister, I’m going to suffer at your price, don’t do this.” Shao Dabao said.

 

Shao Dabao was only in his early twenties, but due to years of inactivity, he was fair, tender and cute. The woman was very happy to be called “sister”.
