rebirth of cataclysm

"Hu Mingchen, Hu Mingchen, come here, I brought a few people from our village, you show them your card, I tell you, you really have never seen the world, these things are only played by people in the city, we

It's never happened here before." Mao Feng boasted proudly as he led people to Hu Mingchen's stall.

Regarding Mao Feng's ability to exaggerate and promote, Hu Mingchen secretly gave him a thumbs up.

"Everyone, take a look. Here are all the things I brought today. Just now Mao Feng said that these cards are indeed played by the little kids in the city. But now that they have become popular, almost everyone in the city has them.

I have it all in my hand. Look, every image on this card is a story. Have you ever seen a cartoon? Every cartoon is condensed here..." Since the guests are here

, Hu Mingchen of course has to show off his arms.

"What's a cartoon?" one student asked.

Nowadays, there are many villages in Duge Township that do not have electricity. Without electricity, you cannot watch TV. It is normal and not at all surprising that someone does not know what a cartoon is.

"You idiot, cartoons are just like those shown on TV... that kind of TV, they are very good to watch." Before Hu Mingchen could answer, one of them rushed to explain.

It's just that this classmate seems to be about the same age as Hu Mingchen and others. Due to limited knowledge and expressive ability, he can't explain clearly. He only knows that cartoons can only be seen on TV.

"Niu Xiaoer, your stupid tone makes it sound like you know it after you've seen it." The classmate who asked what the cartoon was said unconvincingly.

"Of course I have seen it. My eldest mother's house is just down the street. She has a TV at her house. I go to her house every week to watch TV. The cat on TV can drive, shoot a gun, and catch mice. It is very powerful.

My aunt said it was a cartoon, but you haven’t seen it, so you know what I mean.” Of course, the student who was suspected was unwilling to give in, and immediately produced evidence to fight back.

"You are talking about "Black Cat Sheriff". It is indeed a very good cartoon." Hu Mingchen nodded and gave a thumbs up to express his affirmation.

Before his rebirth, after Huangni Village received electricity, Hu Mingchen's grandma's family was the first to buy a TV. Hu Mingchen watched it frequently, including "Black Cat Sheriff", which naturally left an impression.

The classmate who had been certified by Hu Mingchen suddenly looked arrogant, with his neck raised high. He seemed to have an aunt living on the street, and it seemed that watching cartoons was a great and fashionable thing.

"See, these cards can still be used for fighting. I just beat Luo Zhizheng in our class. That guy lost to me just because my card is better than his..." Mao

Feng jumped in at the right time to help promote it.

"This card can still be fought. Let me see how to fight. Let me see."

Hu Mingchen quickly opened a pile of cards and explained to them the rules of using cards to fight and the criteria for winning and losing according to the instructions.

"It's fun, but it's too expensive. Mao Feng said it costs 50 cents a piece, so we can't afford it." After Hu Mingchen's explanation, some people were indeed interested, but the price became a big obstacle.

.

"Oh, you and Mao Feng are from the same village, and he and I are friends. If you are interested in buying, I can give you some discounts. I won't charge you too much, so don't worry." Hu Mingchen said.

Originally, Hu Mingchen had no intention of selling it for 50 cents each, so he explained.

"How much is the price reduction? How much?" someone asked.

"Oh, you are from the same village as Maofeng, so of course you have to reduce it. This...you have to get three pieces for one dollar. This is equivalent to thirty cents a piece. It's a very good discount. Let's all join in.

Once you put it all together, you won’t be able to make out even one dollar.”

Hu Mingchen made it look like he was selling off Mao Feng’s face, but in fact that was how he priced it from the beginning.

"Three for one dollar...it's still not cheap."

"It's not expensive at all. It's three for one dollar. If you buy it twice, I will give you one as a gift. Mao Feng is my classmate and friend. You and he are also friends from the same village. I will never lose money."

Yours." Hu Mingchen continued to use established policies to sell face to Mao Feng.

"Zeng Guoqiang, your father works in a coal mine. With a monthly salary of several hundred yuan, how many cents can you afford? You can also afford one or two yuan. Among us, you are the most

The richest tycoon." Hu Mingchen mentioned himself several times, which made Mao Feng feel bright in his face. After his little vanity was satisfied, he helped him focus on Zeng Guoqiang as his key customer.

This Zeng Guoqiang was indeed the best-dressed among them. The others either had Liberation rubber-soled shoes or cloth shoes. Only Zeng Guoqiang wore a pair of brown leather shoes with laces.

In Duge Township, it is not that new for adults to wear leather shoes. However, children in primary school wear leather shoes, which is really not something ordinary people can do. Even in Hu Mingchen's eyes, Zeng Guoqiang's pair of leather shoes is not that special.

Okay, but they are still leather shoes after all, and they still look foreign.

Children really can't stand flattery and praise. As Mao Feng stood out, Zeng Guoqiang became more and more proud and wanted to show off.

"Fifty cents, one yuan, of course I can take it out at any time. My father always gives me at least five cents every day." Zeng Guoqiang said and stood in front of Hu Mingchen, putting the two sets of cards in his hands and comparing them.

Just these three, I’ll buy them for one dollar.”

"Okay, okay, you are really discerning. These three pictures are the best in this group. You see, the images above were designed by Japanese people." Hu Mingchen said with a smile while collecting money and giving cards.

These customers may not be trivial, but they also need to please, and Hu Mingchen knows this very well.

"Wow, it's still designed in Japan. Let me take a look. Let me take a look. If it's good, I'll buy two of them too."

The 1980s and 1990s were the years when relations between China and Japan were at their best after World War II. The market was flooded with a large number of Japanese products. Sony, Panasonic, Sanyo, Toshiba, etc. were synonymous with good things in China. Chinese people’s attitude towards Japan

The favorability is not bad. Wealthy Chinese people rush to buy the products of these brands. Correspondingly, domestically produced products have become a label of resistance and low-end.

In Duge Township, very few people can afford Japanese products, but this does not affect their impression that Japanese products are good.

"Okay, okay, okay, watch as you like, everyone can watch, watch as you like."

Before the classmate Hu Mingchen introduced by Mao Feng had finished receiving the reception, Gu Xiaoqi led a large group of people over there.

All of a sudden, Hu Mingchen’s street stall became lively.

When selling something, as long as there are many people around and it is popular, as long as someone pays for it, it will easily lead to people following suit. This is especially obvious for children.

Gu Xiaoqi and his group came over and happened to see two people completing a deal with Hu Mingchen. Their enthusiasm was stimulated to a higher level.

As for Gu Xiaoqi, before Hu Mingchen had finished receiving him, Luo Zhizheng also came over with several students from his village.

With the participation of these people, other people passing by the school gate were gradually attracted and became curious, and gathered around Hu Mingchen one after another. Everyone wanted to know what novelties were sold here and why.

There will be so many people interested.

Fortunately, he has three good friends to help him, otherwise Hu Mingchen would not be able to cope with so many people asking questions all by himself.

As more people watched, coupled with Hu Mingchen's explanation and the stimulation of students who bought on the spot, more and more people were willing to pay.

However, although business has improved, it is undeniable that the poverty and backwardness of Duge Township and the relatively high prices mean that relatively few students can afford it.

Among the ten people watching around, at most three or four could afford it, and even fewer were willing to pay for it.

After working hard all afternoon, Hu Mingchen sold it for 17 yuan.

The money is not much, but it is still a good start. This is the first day. As more and more students know and understand it, Hu Mingchen believes that sales will get better and better.

After school in the afternoon, Hu Mingchen was the first to rush out of the classroom.

Now he couldn't go home immediately to feed the pigs or light a fire. During this time after school, he also wanted to seize it and see if he could sell more.

Business in the afternoon after school was worse than at noon. Either the students who had some money had almost used it up, or they were rushing home to work and eat.

In just over half an hour, people from Duge Elementary School and Duge Middle School were all gone.

"Hu Mingchen, how much did you sell for?" Luo Zhizheng asked as Hu Mingchen put away his things and planned to go home.

"It's only a few dollars. Thank you for today. You three should go home quickly. Don't get scolded if you go back late." After school, Hu Mingchen only sold six dollars, so he was not in high spirits.

Today, Hu Mingchen received a total of 27 yuan in sales, with a gross profit of more than 10 yuan.

For ordinary students, earning more than ten yuan a day is already a huge amount of money. But for Hu Mingchen, this amount of money is really very little, and it is a drop in the bucket to solve the family's difficulties.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, we are friends, you said so. Besides, didn't you also give us things and treat us to some jelly," said tablemate Luo Zhizheng.

"Okay, I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow, let's go." Since he has made money, even if it is less, Hu Mingchen will not be stingy.

"Does this mean you won't leave yet?" Mao Feng asked happily.

"I still need to clean up, No, I rented that small house over there and it hasn't been cleaned yet." Hu Mingchen said, pointing to the side room he rented.

"You still rented a house?" the three of them asked in surprise.

"What's all the fuss about? You all look like you've been electrocuted. I'm not selling this. What if I don't rent a house and it rains?"

"Come on, Hu Mingchen, let's go take a look with you. We'll help you clean up. Let's go, let's go." Gu Xiaoqi smiled and touched Hu Mingchen's shoulder.

At their age, being able to rent a house outside is a big deal. Now that Hu Mingchen has rented it, they are naturally excited to take a look.
