Era: Start as a buyer

"Luo Cheng, this is the place. This location feels good."

Luo Cheng didn't understand either. Liu Xiaofei had the final say. He could just help move the clothes. A piece of cloth, a few stands, and a few rechargeable lamps. Luo Cheng didn't expect that he was quite prepared.

There are already people wandering around the pedestrian street here, but before this thing is put up and opened, trouble comes. Liu Xiaofei snatched someone else's spot. Although everyone is allowed to set up stalls here, it's not a first-come, first-served basis. At least it's not a first-come-first-served basis like Liu Xiaofei's. People get the location based on whoever set up a stall here before.

Not only does this rule apply here, in fact, many places used to set up stalls like this. For example, a long time ago when controls were not strict. On overpasses, at some station entrances and near schools, the items sold may not be clothes. Whoever sells something will always sell it in a fixed place. In the past, those who sold novels and tapes on the overpass did not have to pay stall fees, but if you go there often, you will find that each stall basically has the same location.

"Hurry up and pull it, where are the young people who are trying to grab space like you?"

A man in his forties urged. What he sold was not clothes, but trinkets, mirrors, nail clippers, rings, necklaces, small wallets, belts, etc. Everything ranges from a few yuan to dozens of yuan.

Liu Xiaofei only asked people that the stalls were set up here for free, and she didn't come here to explore much at all. Just now I saw that there were quite a few empty spaces, but now I see that there are basically people setting up stalls. In addition, this pedestrian street is not long to begin with, so you can’t block the entrances of the merchants here if you set up stalls.

Luo Cheng was also helping to clean up and asked Liu Xiaofei what to do.

In fact, if you insist on setting up a stall, it depends on whether Liu Xiaofei is willing to do so. But I don’t seem to be willing to do so at the moment, so I have to close the stall first, push the tricycle over there and then think of a way to see it.

Luo Cheng also recognized the rules for setting up stalls here. Although it's all free, if you're like Liu Xiaofei and you can just grab a seat if you come early, then there might really be chaos here. Every day there is a battle for position, especially those in front of the intersection.

When she came to the corner, Liu Xiaofei was a little frustrated. It was her first time setting up a stall, so she didn't know so much. The flow of people in this corner is obviously much worse than in the front.

It took some time to set up the stall again. Liu Xiaofei sat on the small bench that had been prepared. She actually took her mobile phone and wanted to search online to see if there was any place nearby that could set up a stall to sell clothes. You start a business blindly like this~~.

Although it's in a corner, there are still some crowds, but many people come here to stroll around. When they get tired of shopping, they may simply wander around again and then go back.

Although the people selling things on this street don't shout, maybe it's too noisy if they all shout to do business. But when the boss is doing business and someone passes by, as long as someone takes a few glances at his stall and is discovered by the boss, he will enthusiastically ask what he wants.

And now the stall is crowded with people. Liu Xiaofei doesn't even know how to say hello to people who pass by and stop for a while.

Luo Cheng didn't know how to do business by setting up a street stall. In his era, the demand for materials was greater than the supply. As long as something was in short supply on the black market, it was easy to sell it. If you go to the black market to set up a altar with pickles, there may not be many people asking, and if you sell vegetable baskets and stools, no one may look at them, but if you sell grains, meat, etc., there is no chance that you will not be able to sell them on the same day.

Therefore, Luo Cheng didn't know how to greet customers and couldn't help Liu Xiaofei. In his era, people who sold things on the black market were the ones who took the initiative to ask.

Moreover, when Liu Xiaofei came to set up a stall today, in addition to the location issue, there was another big factor that she failed to consider. That is, the people who come here to shop are all working. There are many young people working nearby, and their consumption outlook, aesthetics or needs do not meet the positioning of the clothes Liu Xiaofei sells.

The clothes Liu Xiaofei orders online are all the ones she thinks are good-looking, and at her age, she has worked in a club, so her aesthetics are a bit trendy.

The clothes she chooses are all personalized, and students or very young people may like them. But the pedestrian street here seems to be crowded, and there are too few people who would like this dress.

Of course, there is an additional factor that may also lead to a decrease in Liu Xiaofei's sales, and that is that she brought Luo Cheng here. She is quite beautiful and may attract male customers to stop in front of the stall. But Luo Cheng was sitting on a mountain wheel behind the stall, and people would think it was a pair of young people selling clothes, not just Liu Xiaofei.

There are a lot of clothes sellers here, a pair of jeans costs around thirty, and a shirt costs around twenty or thirty. Although the material quality is not as good as Liu Xiaofei's, it is cheaper and the style is simpler, so it is actually better sold among lower-class office workers.

The bustle here will almost dissipate by around 9:30, and it only lasts three or four hours a night. The only thing that can comfort Liu Xiaofei is that when there are too many people, she will always encounter some "unusual" people. For a stall owner like her, she actually sold a few pieces of clothing.

But the selling price was even cheaper than when Luo Cheng had sold it at a 20% discount. The total sale price was more than 100 yuan, and after deducting the cost, the profit was more than 50 yuan.

After closing the stall at night, there were few people on the street. Luo Cheng drove the car back. There is no need to consider the balance issue with a tricycle. The direction control is similar to that of a bicycle, just twist the front of the bike. It means that you can turn the handle by moving forward and twisting it. The speed depends on the degree of twisting.

If you brake, use your feet. Luo Cheng knew it after reading it once, but he was not skilled in riding it. When he went back, he rode slower.

Back home, there are celebratory beers and charcuterie ready on the living room table. Luo Cheng was helping to unload the tricycle into the living room, while Liu Xiaofei's dream of starting a street stall and making a fortune, which she had been excited about for several days, would have been too reckless if she didn't have a few completed orders. It can be regarded as directly shattered.

After moving the things, Luo Cheng sat next to Liu Xiaofei. The food and wine on the table~~ don’t necessarily have to be eaten today if there is a refrigerator.

After sitting quietly for a while, Luo Cheng decided to go back to his room and sleep. No one said anything about eating, so he could eat whatever he wanted.

"Luo Cheng, come have a drink, don't leave."

Just when Luo Cheng was about to enter the room, he was stopped by Liu Xiaofei. To be honest, if he really wanted to drink, Luo Cheng didn't want to drink this wine. All Liu Xiaofei bought was beer, which Luo Cheng couldn't get used to. I drank it once before at the entrance of the construction site. Although it is called wine like liquor, they are two completely different things.

But today, it looked like she was having a drink with someone. It was obvious that Liu Xiaofei was in a low mood, and she only earned dozens of dollars. Her rent was an average of twenty dollars a day. You also have to pay for water and electricity, and the rest may not be enough for food.

Come on, there are a lot of good dishes.

More than twenty minutes later, Luo Cheng reluctantly went to the supermarket at the door to move another box of frozen beer.

"Luo Cheng, I just want to make some money with my own abilities. Is it wrong? Why is this happening?"

It's hard for Luo Cheng to answer this. To be more realistic, I can only say that she has the will to work hard, but she doesn't have the ability. Of course, Luo Cheng himself was an afterthought, and he didn't have the ability, so the things he messed with were basically worthless things for his time. He wants to spend money to invest, and he will not be able to think of anything in the future era.

So without a word of enlightenment, Luo Cheng could only accompany her to drink. Not to mention, this beer feels weird at first, but after drinking it for a while, it feels okay, especially when it’s frozen, it feels quite comfortable to drink on this hot day.
