Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 342 Bet



Chapter 342 Bet

Lin Qingyan looked at them, took out a few small boxes from the carton, and handed one to each of them.

"This is a gift for you, one for each of you, to celebrate our pleasant cooperation in advance."

Ye Yi and the others opened the box and saw the watches inside. Each person had a different style.

At this time, Fang Yunxing also noticed that the watch on Gu Yizhou's hand had been changed. Gu Yizhou felt his gaze and raised his eyebrows proudly.

"A watch? Qingyan, isn't this gift too expensive?"

Ye Yi looked at the watch. Although she liked it very much, she felt it was too expensive.

"It's not expensive, it's really not expensive. If you sell more clothes in the future, you can make the money back."

Lin Qingyan thought about the price of this watch in Modern Yangcheng. It was really cheap, but she didn't plan to tell them.

"This watch is really nice. It looks better than the ones sold at the supply and marketing cooperative."

Xu Jianshan picked up the watch and studied it carefully, then raised his eyes and asked Lin Qingyan: "Can you supply us with this too?"

"Okay, I'll give you these watches for 30 yuan each. As for how much you sell them for, it's up to you!"

Lin Qingyan went to the mall to check the price of watches, which was about 50 yuan, and an industrial ticket was also required.

Before buying a watch, Lin Qingyan made a special search and found out that in 79, most watches on the market were mechanical watches, so when she bought one in Modern Guangzhou, she chose all mechanical watches. She didn't have to worry about the electronic watches mixed in and bringing her unknown dangers.

Xu Jianshan didn't know the price of the radio because he knew he couldn't afford it. He usually didn't pay attention to it and didn't ask about the price.

But he knew the price of the watch. He had gone to the mall and asked the supply and marketing cooperative about the price. It was more than fifty yuan.

He was thinking that he would buy himself a watch after the photo studio distributed the money at the end of the year, but he did not expect that he would already have a watch before the end of the year, and it was given to him by his partner.

This kind of watch takes up little space, is easy to carry, and is cheap, so it is easy to sell. So he plans to sell watches as the main business.

If he finds that the situation is not right when buying a watch, he will run with a smaller goal.

Moreover, when selling watches, you can just ask the customer: "Brother, I have some radios and tapes from the south, do you want any?"

Xu Jianshan's mind was full of activity, but in reality it was only a few seconds.

He said directly to Lin Qingyan: "I will take 10 of these watches to the store first. I can put them in a conspicuous place. If a customer likes them, I can sell them directly to them. When I go out to take pictures of customers, I can also carry them in my pocket and sell them at any time."

Xu Jianshan's words made Wang Lanlan nod repeatedly, and Wang Lanlan gave him a thumbs up.

"Xu Jianshan, I didn't realize you have such a good business sense. I didn't expect that besides being hardworking, you also have brains."

Xu Jianshan's face turned slightly red, and he looked embarrassed. Feeling everyone's gazes on him,

Said: "Thank you for the compliment!"

"Hey, Xu Jianshan, you've become thick-skinned now."

"A little worse than you." Xu Jianshan muttered softly.

Wang Lanlan thought she had misheard and raised her voice to ask, "What did you say?"

"I told you I should be able to make a lot of money in the future. If you don't believe me, we can make a bet." Xu Jianshan quickly changed the subject.

"What bet?"

His topic completely aroused Wang Lanlan's interest, and Ye Yi and Fang Yunxing were also very interested.

"Yes, what do you want to bet on? Tell me."

"Let's make a bet to see who earns more before school starts or by the end of the year." Xu Jianshan thought for a moment.

"Okay, I like this bet. Let's compete to see who earns the most. The summer vacation is too short, so let's compete during the Chinese New Year, on New Year's Eve."

Wang Lanlan became more and more excited as she spoke, and she had already booked all her reservations for New Year's Eve. She wondered what her parents would think if they knew that she would not go home for the New Year because of the bet.

Fang Yunxing was not afraid of the trouble and asked directly: "What are the winners going to do? What are the losers going to do?"

Xu Jianshan glanced at Wang Lanlan and thought for a moment.

"The loser should promise the winner something, something that does not harm the interests of either party, does not involve moral bottom line, and is not illegal."

Wang Lanlan said without any hesitation:

"No problem! That's it. Although I'm not as smart as you in studying, but in terms of making money, as Qingyan said, I have a talent."

"Yes, yes, yes, Wang Lanlan has a talent for business. She likes anything that can make money."

Lin Qingyan and Gu Yizhou also joined in the fun, "How about we raise the stakes a little bit so we can join in?"

Wang Lanlan and Xu Jianshan rejected Lin Qingyan's invitation.

"No, I can't take you with me. None of us can earn more than you."

Ye Yi raised her hand at the side.

"Then you can take me with you, right? I'm probably the worst at making money among the three of us, but I also want to join. What if I'm inspired by you two and work harder to make money? Maybe by the time the New Year comes, I'll have enough money to buy a house."

"Row!"

Xu Jianshan looked at Ye Yi. They all needed to earn money to buy a house, and having a bet might really motivate them to work harder.

"Aunt, please be a witness for us when the time comes." Xu Jianshan said to Liu Huizhen who was sitting next to him.

"Oh, this auntie has agreed. I will be your witness when the time comes."

Liu Huizhen was infected by the youthful appearance of the children. She felt that if she stayed with these children for a long time, her mentality would become younger.

Lin Qingxuan, who was listening on the side and was eager to make a move, also stretched out his hand.

"Brother Xu, Sister Ye Yi, Sister Lan Lan, how about you include me in your bet? I want to make money too."

Lin Qingxuan suddenly spoke up, causing everyone to look at him. Lin Qingxuan had always been studying near his parents, and he had not experienced the turmoil of the past few years when he was still young.

She had not experienced going to the countryside like Lin Qingyan and others, experiencing the fickleness of human nature, the hard work of farming, and the normal state of not having enough food and clothes.

He is the representative of the happiest children of this era. His social skills need to be honed slowly and we can't be impatient.

"Qingxuan, you just entered the school in September, and it will take some time for you to adapt to the school. I think you may not have time to go out and earn money in the first semester.

If you want to earn money, you can help mom on weekends or during winter vacation and let her pay you. "

Lin Qingyan looked at her brother's eager eyes and gave him the most reasonable advice.

"Mom, do you want to make money too?" Lin Qingxuan turned and looked at Liu Huizhen.

"Nonsense, I'm going to make taro balls and sell them when the weather is hot, and when it gets cold, I'll sell clothes with Ye Yilan and Lanlan. I don't need to go to school, so I have more time than you do. Maybe I'll make the most money during the Chinese New Year."

The more Liu Huizhen thought about it, the more she felt that she was right.

"Yes, auntie, we will sell clothes together then."

Several people turned around and enthusiastically discussed where it would be best to set up a stall. Lin Qingxuan had no say at all and could only watch from the side, feeling extremely envious.
