Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

After his rebirth, apart from facing the unexpected English college entrance examination, Xu Xing had only one thing left in his mind.

Just make money.

In fact, the family experiences in his previous life left a deep impression on him, especially when his father was laid off from a factory during his college years, and his mother was hit by online e-commerce because of her physical store, and her business was deteriorating year by year.

So much so that the once well-off family could not afford the tuition fees for a second college.

This also caused Xu Xing, who was still having fun in college, to completely wake up and start studying seriously. He took the postgraduate entrance examination and entered Min University. After graduation, he got a high-quality job and the family situation gradually stabilized.

Now, once again, Xu Xing originally just wanted to make money, but because the information was mixed and intertwined, he was not able to sort out a clear context.

But early in the morning, he heard that his mother was going to the wholesale market, and Xu Xing suddenly came to his senses.

Although he currently has no connections or funds, so he cannot touch many things, but his parents do!

He couldn't tell his parents directly that if he handed over the family's money to him, he would be guaranteed to get it back a hundred times next year.

But if we can provide proper guidance and allow parents to seize a few small opportunities, it will also allow families that are about to fall into a downward spiral to turn the ship around in time and sail towards wider seas.

Thinking of this, Xu Xing's train of thought suddenly became clear.

"You stay in the car and don't move around. I'm going to buy some breakfast."

Sun Wanhui said to Xu Xing in the passenger seat, then opened the car door and walked towards the breakfast shop on the roadside.

"Ten fried dumplings and a pack of soy milk!" Xu Xing added.

"got it."

A few minutes later, Sun Wanhui returned to the car with her bag, stuffed breakfast into Xu Xing's arms, started the car and rushed towards the wholesale market.

It was 5:30 in the morning, there were few vehicles on the road, the breakfast shop on the street was steaming with steam, and the sanitation lady had been in place early and was already cleaning the road.

The car broke through the morning fog and drove steadily.

Xu Xing was eating fried dumplings and drinking soy milk in the passenger seat. When he passed by the Internet cafe last night, he paused subconsciously, recalling the sight of Yan Chiju holding a steamed bun in his mouth, and the movement of chewing the fried dumplings in his mouth slowed down.

Half a beat.

"Mom, come on, open your mouth, ah~"

Taking advantage of the red light, Xu Xing picked up a piece of fried dumpling and stuffed it into Sun Wanhui's mouth.

"I'll do it myself." Sun Wanhui said, but she still opened her mouth to catch the fried dumplings handed over by her son, "You will learn to drive in the future, and you can't eat while driving, do you understand?"

"Then what are you talking about now?" Xu Xing was speechless, "negative teaching material?"

"You fed me this." Sun Wanhui ate the fried dumplings as a matter of course, swallowed them down, and then said, "When you have the ability to drive, let others feed you, such as finding a girlfriend."

Good guy.

I haven’t even gone to college yet. Just one day after the college entrance examination, I started to look for a partner.

"It's important for us to purchase goods, let's not talk about this."

"I haven't asked you yet, kid." He changed the subject and Sun Wanhui couldn't help but asked suspiciously, "Why did you want to buy goods with me?"

"The moment I finish the college entrance examination, I will become an adult in the true sense. It is necessary to understand the business situation of my family." Xu Xing said seriously.

"speak English."

"I want to find a part-time job during the summer to make some money. Mom, what do you think of me?"

"You work part-time to collect your own wool, right?" Sun Wanhui glanced at him, but she didn't refuse. She just thought it was her son's whim.

I guess I stopped after a few days.

Or maybe you just go to the wholesale market and feel better.

Even though she looks good running a clothing store, there is no way she is not tired from doing business. Only a young person like Xu Xing would think that opening a store is just waiting for people to buy things and just sit and collect money.

The two of them arrived at the Chaoyang Wholesale Market in Shanghai at almost six o'clock.

Breakfast was settled while waiting at the red light on the road. Once they arrived, the two of them got off the car and went straight to the wholesale market.

Sun Wanhui's clothing store mainly sells women's clothing, and generally does not sell big brands. What matters is the basic quality and price of the clothes. The clothes in the store are basically priced at less than 300.

Different from Xu Xing's imagination, Sun Wanhui did not come to shop one by one. After walking into the crowded wholesale market, she directly found three wholesale stores, and after a brief chat, she reached an initial intention.

Obviously he is an old customer.

Xu Xing followed his mother in a dignified manner. When he saw some goods, he touched them and asked the boss what the price was.

For example, an ordinary T-shirt, with a wholesale price of 10 yuan a piece, can be sold for 40 to 50 yuan in the store.

The kind of small knitted sweaters and women's casual shirts that are more popular in the future are mostly only 20 yuan each. After they are shipped to the store, they can often sell for 70 or 80 yuan, and even the darker ones can sell for 150 or 60 yuan.

The key depends on whether the shopping guide's mouth is strong or not.

Sun Wanhui is a well-known name in the alley of their commercial street. She is best at selling clothes. When ten customers enter the store, at least half of them have to take out their wallets.

Before 2010, when clothing stores were relatively prosperous, Sun Wanhui's income could even be much more than that of her husband, who was the deputy manager of the production department in a factory.

But the middle-aged Sun Wanhui probably never imagined that what would eventually defeat her was not competitors from other physical clothing stores, but the unwarranted torrent from the virtual network.

"Mom, many young people are shopping online now. Have you heard of that peach treasure? Business is booming." Xu Xing took advantage of Sun Wanhui's break to go to the next store to buy goods, trying to brainwash her mother.

"Aren't they all fake and shoddy stuff?" Sun Wanhui frowned.

In the commercial street, shop owners also have their own circles, and Sun Wanhui usually doesn't understand them at all.

But for things like online shopping and e-commerce, everyone in the circle is on guard against rejection, and there is a natural chain of condescending contempt.

"Try it without spending any money." Xu Xing suggested, rolling his eyes, "Mom, think about it, we can just register a shop on Taobao, take some photos of clothes and post them, and if someone buys them, we can make extra money.

You won’t lose anything if you buy it, right?”

At this stall in 2012, Taobao has not yet entered the era of charging to open stores. It still implements a free store strategy, hoping to attract more merchants to settle in.

If after one or two years, Taobao starts to open stores for a fee, then it will be another situation and difficulty to convince Sun Wanhui.

But Sun Wanhui has been running a physical store for more than ten years, and her thinking has become rigid. She is unwilling to make changes and would rather make her own money peacefully, which makes her more practical.

But just when she was thinking about how to decline her son's sudden business enthusiasm, a familiar voice came from the side.

"Wanhui, are you here to purchase goods too?"

Sun Wanhui and Xu Xing turned their heads in response and saw Zhang Li, the proprietress of the children's clothing store opposite their store, greeting them with a smile on her face.

"Is this your son? He just finished the college entrance examination. If you don't have a good rest at home, why do you end up in a place like this?"
