Rekindle 2012

Chapter 197 Business is booming
The sixteenth day of the first lunar month was sunny.

Tongxin Street in Zhushan Town was very lively with the beating of gongs and drums. Many street residents who were attracted by the excitement came to take a look and found out that Lao Li's battery car shop had opened.

At the entrance of the 104 store, two rows of flower baskets were neatly placed. Brand-new battery cars were rolled out one after another, and big red flowers were hung on them for display at the door.

Many of Li Guomin's relatives and friends have already arrived, drinking tea and chatting in the store, helping to fill up the crowd.

People coming and going on the roadside at the door, even those who know Li Guomin, will say hello.

"Lao Li, congratulations to you. The new store has opened and the wealth is rolling in."

Li Guomin has been building houses for many years and has many acquaintances in Zhushan Town, many of whom Li Chenyang does not know at all.

"Lao Zhang, why didn't you go play cards today? Come in and have tea."

"Okay, come and take a look."

……

street intersection.

Li Guozhong and Li Ping'an, father and son, looked at the bustling store on the roadside, but did not come to congratulate them.

"I didn't expect that my uncle's shop would actually open."

Li Pingan was a little surprised.

When he heard that Li Guomin had come back to open a store, he thought it was a joke, but he didn't expect that the Lantern Festival had just passed and it was already open for business.

Judging from the scale, it seems to be quite large. There are dozens of cars on display outside.

Li Guozhong said with some jealousy: "Their family just likes to mess around. Is this battery car so easy to sell? Nowadays, everyone likes motorcycles. Who can sell so many battery cars to them?"

"No, that's not the case. Motorcycles in many places now need to be licensed, and there are more and more battery-powered motorcycles." Li Ping'an still understands a little bit.

Li Guozhong was still stern and said, "That's a big city. What does it have to do with our rural areas? Who cares about you here? Anyway, I don't think your brother-in-law can make any money in this business."

Li Ping'an was only half-hearted, and it seemed to be the same when he thought about it, but he wanted to have a battery car, so he said: "Dad, I will get married in a few months, and I also want to get a car for riding. Motorcycles are too expensive." Come on, buy me a battery car."

The rows of brand-new battery cars at the door made him a little envious.

Li Guozhong glared at him and cursed: "You're a prodigal, do you know how much it cost me to get you engaged? You're still chewing on your old age. If you want a battery car, if you have the ability, ask your father-in-law to give you one as a dowry."

"Dad, don't be angry, I just meant to say..."

Hearing that his father was anxious, Li Pingan quickly shut up.

I'm afraid that we won't be able to talk about this matter anymore.

"Dad, I work in Chashan. It costs money to take a car all the time. I will definitely need a motorcycle or a battery car. If Xiaomeng's family doesn't give me a dowry, you can buy me another one when the time comes. I will work hard and pay back the money I earn. for you……"

"You still earn money and give it back to me. After all these years, have you ever gotten a penny back home?"

"This is not because my job has always been unstable. I will definitely do a good job this time."

"talk later."

"dad."

"We'll talk about it later. When your uncle can't open his shop anymore, he will deal with these cars and buy you one at a cheaper price. You didn't look at the price. An expensive one is three to four thousand, and a cheap one is more than 2000. I don't have it." money."

"Okay, okay, it's really too expensive now. Can we go there?"

Li Guozhong looked at it and said, "Don't worry, wait and see if anyone buys his car?"

……

There are many people looking at the cars in Lao Li's battery car shop. Many people who live nearby the street come to join in the fun and take a look at the cars.

But I haven’t placed an order yet.

Lao Li is not in a hurry. All he needs to do to open a business is to be popular. Business is about steady flow, so he is not so anxious to make money.

"Lao Li, which one is better, the Tramway Luyuan or the Yadi?"

one woman asked.

Li Guomin took one look and said with a smile: "You get what you pay for, whichever is more expensive is better."

"How far can your 2799 green source travel?"

Someone else asked.

Li Guomin said: "It is probably no problem to run back and forth to the county seat with a full charge."

"A round trip to the county seat is more than 100 miles, isn't it? This car can go that far."

"Absolutely. As long as the battery is full, it shouldn't be a big problem. But who rides a battery scooter to the county town and doesn't charge it when he comes back?"

While Li Guomin was chatting with others, Li Chenyang came over with Lao Tan and Tan Qiaoqiao.

"Dad, Teacher Tan also wants to buy a car, can you give me a better discount?"

Li Guomin immediately went up to shake hands: "Teacher Tan, you are here."

"My family has always planned to buy a battery car. Now that you've opened a business, I'll come over and take a look." Old Tan looked around.

Li Guomin said: "Look around and tell me which one is in the photo."

Although it was Lao Tan who paid, it was Tan Qiaoqiao who made the decision. The father and daughter looked at the cars in the store and then at the ones outside the door.

There are not many styles of cars, most of them differ in color.

He asked: "Qiaoqiao, which one do you like?"

"That's it."

Tan Qiaoqiao pointed to a red Yadi car. This is the most expensive car in the store, with a price tag of 3999. Considering the consumption issues in small places, Li Chenyang considers the brand's mid- to low-end models when purchasing.

"Qiaoqiao, in order to take care of your classmate's business, you want to empty out your father's wallet."

Lao Tan said jokingly.

"You get what you pay for. This one is definitely better if it is more expensive, and it will be safer for you to ride."

Hearing what Little Cotton Jacket said, Lao Tan, who was still a little hesitant at first, felt happy for a moment. He turned around and said, "Boss Li, this is it."

When Li Guomin saw it, he said, "I'll give you three hundred less. Let's go away with three thousand seven."

"Okay, pay the bill."

Lao Tan didn't bargain too much. After all, it was a store opened by his student's parents, so he probably wouldn't be cheated. Three hundred less was already pretty good.I settled the bill with Tang Hong.

Lao Tan was about to push the battery cart away.

But Li Chenyang came over with a red flower and said, "Don't be anxious, teacher, take a picture."

“I bought a car and took pictures.”

Lao Tan smiled.

"Yes, there must be a sense of ceremony."

Li Chenyang hung the red flowers on the front of the car, asked Lao Tan and Li Guomin to take a photo together in front of the car, and then said, "Okay, teacher, can you ride? Do you want me to help you take it back?"

"Forget it, I can ride this car with one hand."

"Then be careful and don't throw my classmate Qiaoqiao?"

Upon hearing this, Old Tan immediately became cautious. After Tan Qiaoqiao sat firmly in the car, he started carefully and slowly left.

"An order has been placed."

Li Guomin delivered it to the door.

"It's a pity that I didn't make any money."

"That's not bad. Your senior class teacher is embarrassed that I earned his money. Did you give the money to them?"

"It was stuffed into that little confused bag. She doesn't know yet. I'll send her a text message later to talk about it."

"When did you stuff it? Why didn't I see it?"

"If you saw it, wouldn't others also see it?"

After all, they are opening a store to do business, and 3699 is already the lowest price they can get. On this basis, they can probably earn about 300 yuan per car. Of course, this is before deducting rent, water, electricity, and labor costs. .

Fortunately, they own the house here, and the water and electricity are for civilian use and can be ignored. There is only one worker, Li Shan, and the cost is very low. Even if they don't make money at the original price, they won't lose much.

But after all, he was his son's former class teacher. Lao Li didn't want to earn the 300 yuan, so he asked Li Chenyang to quietly return it.

Lao Tan is the director of the Academic Affairs Office of Zhushan High School. He has some connections in the school, otherwise he would not be teaching the key classes for the third year of high school. Lao Li has established a good relationship with him, and Li Chenyang also supports him. Lao Tan can also tell whoever goes to Zhushan High School in the future. Speaking of which... in business, the most important thing is these scattered relationships.

With Lao Tan taking the lead, the store quickly sold another car.

It was bought from a store on the street. It was the same model but different color battery car as Lao Tan. Li Guomin sold it to him for 3699, making a profit of 300 yuan.

The profit of a battery car is only about ten percent. Earning [-] yuan from selling a car is not much. Today is the opening day and the price is easy to negotiate. The room for negotiation will definitely be slightly smaller in the future.

For example, this car will have to earn at least 200 yuan in the future. The cheaper Luyuan battery car can earn [-] yuan. The cheaper Yadi can be sold for more than [-] yuan.

……

Li Guozhong and his son, who were still at the intersection, originally planned to watch a joke and thought that not a single car would be sold. Unexpectedly, two cars were sold in just half an hour.

This completely defeated their idea of ​​seeing a joke.

"Dad, didn't you say that their cars are not easy to sell?"

Li Ping'an asked somewhat unconfidently.

Li Guozhong frowned and said, "This is the first day of business. There must be some business. It's not surprising that their advertisements have gone to other towns."

"Then can I still buy a cheap battery car?" This is what Li Pingan is worried about.

"just wait."

Li Guozhong glared at him.

He said this, but in his heart Li Guozhong was still very envious. How could he not have the vision to open a store selling battery cars?

I sold two cars at this moment, one made [-], and the other two made [-]. Even if it was just that much every day, it would still be [-] a month.

After a little calculation, he took a breath and felt that his younger brother was completely mad.

Recalling that it was Li Chenyang who bought the house and the idea of ​​opening the store, he looked at his unfulfilled son.

I'm over 30, and I'm still getting older.

Just thinking about it makes me so angry!

The same generation, why is the gap so big?

Could it be that all the feng shui of Lao Li's family fell into Li Guomin's house?

"Dad, they sold another one."

Li Ping'an's voice came at the right time.

Li Guozhong took a look, and sure enough, another person came out pushing a battery cart. Li Guomin and Li Chenyang both went out to see people off.

Li Guozhong wanted to vomit blood. Not long ago, he had thought that he wouldn't be able to sell a single car. This slap in the face was a bit painful.

"Let's go and have a look."

He said something and walked forward.

When Li Ping'an saw his father leaving, he quickly followed him.

At the entrance of the store, Li Guomin saw off the guests, looked at his son and said, "You brought him here again."

This car buyer was no one else, but the one Li Chenyang met while handing out flyers in Dahuaishu Township. He traveled more than ten miles to come here, and Li Chenyang got a little more discount.

Although he said he sold three cars, the actual money he made was only a little over five hundred.

"After a few days of advertising, it must have some effect." Li Chenyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, the business will definitely get better and better in the future. You'd better learn how to repair cars first."

"I know, your uncle is here."

Li Guomin glanced at the two people walking towards this side not far away.

Li Chenyang said: "I have seen it a long time ago. I have been standing there for more than an hour and I am not afraid of being blown away."

Li Guomin said: "Leave him alone."

"If he asks about how to open a store to sell battery cars, don't tell him."

"I'm not stupid, I get it."
