Rebirth 85: Huge profits start from repairing sewing machines

Chapter 18 Thief

Early the next morning, Chen Cheng went out.

The first thing I did was to go to the vegetable market and buy fifteen eggs for one dollar and a half.

When he returned, Shen Zhihua and Niannian were still asleep.

Chen Cheng rubbed his hands and left immediately.

He still had to think about how to earn enough thirty yuan to buy the TV.

Not long after Chen Cheng left, Shen Zhihua woke up.

When I saw the dozen eggs on the ground, I was stunned for a moment.

In this day and age, eggs are a luxury item.

Did he...really solve this matter?

Chen Cheng returned to the shop after delivering the eggs, and it was just past seven o'clock.

How can I make that thirty yuan?

In desperation, Chen Cheng closed the door and prepared to try his luck in the streets.

Where can I get money?

Chen Cheng was really anxious.

"Xiao Chen, right? After all, this matter is not my business, but my brother's business. Otherwise, let's do this. I think tomorrow...afternoon, I will call my brother over. If he agrees, he will pay you on the spot. Come over with the deposit, what do you think?"

"Yes!" Zhang Huifang nodded and sighed helplessly, "My nephew is getting married soon. For a wedding, you have to buy some things, right?"

Chen Cheng was so happy that he didn't expect to hand him a pillow when he was tired.

But before I came out, I saw a woman walking in hastily.

"Okay, okay!" Chen Cheng said bravely.

After thinking about this, Chen Cheng was in a good mood.

"Yes, yes!" The eldest sister was very happy, "Yes, your craftsmanship is very good. I heard that you opened a second-hand repair shop here, so I came to take a look."

It was just after nine o'clock, and the two big men who came yesterday were already here.

With these 30 yuan, he can take out the TV, spend a day or two repairing it, take 100 yuan from the shop owner, and then go back and exchange the bicycle and washing machine. Isn't that a profit? !

That’s it!

"You mean to replace it with a second-hand one, right?"

Now I only have a little over fifteen yuan left with me, and I won't have any more. Thirty yuan is really a lot.

Zhang Huifang was delighted, "What's the price?"

"Here!" The man put the things on the table, "Come on, I've given you the goods, where's the money?"

Zhang Huifang hesitated a little.

Zhang Huifang also thinks it makes sense, and Chen Cheng left a very good impression on her.

"Young man, do you still remember me?" The woman looked around forty and smiled at Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng nodded.

"Yes, just come to me if any electrical appliance breaks down in the future! By the way, eldest sister, what should I call you?"

Money is her biggest worry.

"Look, a new washing machine costs about 300, right? A bicycle costs about 180 too. My old one must be depreciated. It doesn't cost that much. It depends on the quality, but at least it costs 500. Okay. At 50%, it’s already over two hundred yuan. As for the deposit... I’ll give you 30 yuan, do you think it’s OK?”

"Sister Fang, my shop is here anyway!" Chen Cheng knew what the other party was thinking and said again, "I can't run away either. I make a living by this craft. If I really cheat you, then I I won’t have to do business here in the future, so how much will I lose? Are you right?”

Chen Cheng was so anxious that he could hardly survive.

"Sister!" Chen Cheng remembered immediately, "I remember that I repaired your sewing machine, right?"

In Xiaojie's safe house, there is a washing machine, a bicycle, and a TV set, but they were reserved by the shop owner, so it is definitely impossible to give them to him.

"Sister Fang, we are already acquaintances. I won't hide it from you. I already have two of the three things you mentioned, and the condition is actually new. There are just some small problems that I need to fix.

.”

Chen Cheng was a little anxious and didn't know if Zhao Zhiwei and the others had come over.

Business is coming?

"Sister Fang, do you want second-hand electrical appliances?"

30 yuan!

Zhang Huifang's heart skipped a beat, this was such a big sum.

I stopped walking around the streets and just waited for customers to come to my door.

"Yes!" Zhang Huifang nodded and said, "There is really no other way. We can't ignore real life just for the sake of face, right?"

After sending Zhang Huifang away, Chen Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay!" Chen Cheng kept nodding, "Let's do it in the afternoon! If I pay the deposit in the afternoon, I can get the money to buy the things back. It's the same as paying a deposit to the seller, right?

"

The three most important wedding items in the 1980s were refrigerators, color TV sets, and washing machines!

"I have a request, and I have to ask for these three big items!" Zhang Huifang said helplessly, "How can a family like ours afford such things? It makes my eldest brother worried to death! No matter what, in the end,

I made an agreement with the two young people that we don’t want a color TV, but we definitely need one, as well as a washing machine. After all, we don’t have much in the way of refrigerators, so we can use other things like bicycles instead.”

"The burden is too heavy. Haven't I heard that you still collect scraps here? Can you find something like this for us?" Zhang Huifang looked at Chen Cheng expectantly.

It’s almost an average person’s monthly salary!

"Boss, we are here to find you!" The tall man glanced at Chen Cheng and said calmly.

"Yes!" Zhang Huifang breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll come over in the afternoon!"

Chen Cheng pondered for a while before saying: "Sister Fang, the thing is like this, that thing is not in my hands now, because they are big things, and I don't have that much money on hand. If I take it back and smash it into my hands, I, a little

There is no way to continue the business, so I always make sure that someone wants it before I take it back, repair it, and sell it. If you want it, give me a deposit and I will get it back for you."

"Sister Fang, you also know that my small business is not easy!" Chen Cheng would not easily let go of such a good opportunity and elaborated on his difficulty, "If I took it back and repaired the things, by then

If you say no, then won’t my money be wasted?"

Zhang Huifang made sense when she thought about it. After thinking about it, she asked, "How much do you want as a deposit?"

"But even so, if you buy a new one, it will still cost a lot of money!"

In other words, Zhang Huifang has two of the three things she needs.

"Call me Zhang Huifang, just call me Sister Fang!" The eldest sister nodded and hesitated before asking, "Young man, do you have any second-hand electrical appliances here?"

"Okay!" Chen Cheng nodded and said, "I do have these things."

At least in a short period of time, this matter has been resolved.

"good!"

"That's great!" Zhang Huifang was a little excited, "But...how much does this cost?"

These two don't look easy to mess with. If they knew that they had no money, they might attack them.

At this moment, a person suddenly walked in from outside.

"Look, these two are thieves. Let me just say Chen Cheng is a thief. They are a gang! Neighbors, there are many of us. If we all come together and catch them, then we will have done a great job!

Come in quickly and catch them!"

Brother Kun pointed at the three of them and yelled.
