909 Wanting to Get a Wife
He wanted to get more and earn more so that he could save enough money to get married! He was already 26 years old this year and was considered an over-age single man in the current society. If he still did not get married, he would really become an old man that no one wanted. Nice girls would not want to be with him.
Young girls around the age of 17 or 18 would usually look for young or successful men. Who would be interested in a poor and unsuccessful old man?
He had his own goals in life as well. At the very least, he wanted to have a wife who knew how to lead a good life. As the saying went, marrying a good wife would bless three generations with riches! Xiao Zhu’s parents passed away when he was very young and he had been scavenging since he was 13 years old to support himself. He did not want his children to have a tough life.
He only understood these things after he saw Zhao Fei succeed in life.
“Xiao Fei, just give me a bit more. I don’t need much, just give me another five pounds! Two pounds! One pound is fine too! Seriously, Xiao Fei, please help me,” Xiao Zhu whispered to Zhao Fei.
Zhao Fei did not think the same way. If Xiao Zhu could make 75 dollars a month, as long as he saved up properly, he would definitely be able to rent a small house within a year and live a stable life. Then there would definitely be nice girls who would take a fancy to Xiao Zhu. If there was really no other way, he would ask Li Gui to introduce one of the young ladies from her village to Xiao Zhu so that he could bring her to the city to live a good life!
As long as Xiao Zhu put his mind to work hard, he would share whatever he had with Xiao Zhu.
This business could only grow bigger and bigger. Last night, he even dreamed that he had become a leader who worked in the office! Many people treated him with respect.
“No, I’ve already spoken to all the guys. Everyone gets the same share. If you say such things to me again, I won’t let you sell it!” Zhao Fei said coldly.
Xiao Zhu was so frightened that he quickly shut up. He decided that he would never mention this matter again.
At the entrance of the children’s playground, Zhao Fei gave them a simple briefing on the different areas where it would be easier to sell the popcorn. There were also rules when it came to doing business. Since Zhao Fei was the one who gave them this lead, they could not operate in Zhao Fei’s territory in the future.
They all had to go elsewhere to do their sales. How much they could sell would depend on their own capability. Anyway, if there was any popcorn left by the time they returned at 4 p.m., Zhao Fei would sell the remainder at the cinema. He would definitely be able to sell all the popcorn.
After the guys enthusiastically took their share of the popcorn from Zhao Fei, he specially instructed everyone to check their own stock clearly and not to say that they had lost the popcorn when they came back to pay for it. These problems and excuses would not work with Zhao Fei.
When it came to doing business, the most basic requirement was trust. Only when there was trust between customers and merchants could there be recurring business. If a merchant had a good reputation, people would come back to buy his goods. Businessmen also needed to trust one another. Only when everyone worked together to earn money could the road ahead get better and better. Anyone who wanted to monopolize the market would not last long.
After working through the entire morning, Zhao Fei had almost sold all his stock. During this period of time, many guys had already progressively came back to pay money to Zhao Fei. Everyone had happy smiles on their faces. This was the first time they had seen so much money for a long time!
“Brother Fei! Look! I sold everything in just half an hour! It’s simply too amazing, Brother Fei! Even though the popcorn packs are sealed, the sweet smell is still very obvious. As soon as I got there, many people came to buy it! Everything happened so fast!” one of the guys said excitedly to Zhao Fei as he handed over the money.
All these were within Zhao Fei’s expectations. Back then, Li Gui also did a roaring business. If not for the fact that it was winter now and the weather was too cold, Zhao Fei would have wanted to sell everything himself. He would not have given them a share at all.
“See, I was right. Yet you didn’t believe that you could sell everything. This is your money. If you still want to do it tomorrow, wait for me at the alley at 7.30 a.m. The quantity is still 50 bags each,” Zhao Fei said with a smile.
The young man agreed repeatedly and almost wanted to bow to Zhao Fei.
Even though the guys were told to be back before 4 p.m., everyone came back by around 1 p.m. and they all paid up. Many of them asked Zhao Fei to make more popcorn as they felt that they could sell more.
