Chapter 21 The old rogue who made a fortune in a low-key mannerOn the first day of school, Zhang Yunqi was late. The class meeting of Class 168 started at : ., but because of the purchase of the Tetris handheld game console, Zhang Yunqi arrived at the No. Middle School at around : . He bought 168 pairs of batteries at a store outside the school and carried a large bag of Tetris handheld games. The dormitory was a large bunk bed converted from a classroom, and there was no cabinet, so there was really no place to hide. He pondered for a long time, and finally dug a simple pit in the soft soil under an old locust tree in the innermost part of the grove behind the dormitory, and buried of the games and the snakeskin bags with mud and weeds. At that time, he was in class, and he was sure that no one was around and the pit would not be easily discovered, so he rushed to the classroom of Class . Zhang Yunqi was not interested in being a good student with excellent academic performance, but he also did not want to be the kind of lazy person who always caused trouble for the teachers. His campus dream was to be a low-key old gangster who made a fortune. Being late on the first day of school was obviously not a good thing. On the way upstairs, when Zhang Yunqi ran to the classroom corridor, he met someone he didn't want to see at the moment, the head teacher Jiang Lihua. Jiang Lihua was smoking in the corridor when he ran into Zhang Yunqi who was late. He had no expression on his face and his tone was quite gentle: "Where have you been? I remember I reminded you that there would be a class meeting at 2 o'clock." Zhang Yunqi said, "I overslept." Jiang Lihua was a little speechless, nodded and said, "Don't do this next time. The other students have finished introducing themselves, you go in and introduce yourself to the students first, and then come to my office." Zhang Yunqi didn't know what Jiang Lihua wanted to talk to him about. Would he be criticized on the first day of school? Too lazy to think too much, he turned around and pushed open the door of Class 168 of Grade . The classroom was quite lively, with students chattering enthusiastically. I saw a strange boy walk into the classroom and watched him walk up to the podium with some curiosity.
Zhang Yunqi took out a piece of chalk and wrote a few words on the blackboard. He turned around and said, "Hello everyone. My name is Zhang Yunqi. I'm from Fengyang County. I'm very happy to be your classmate. Please take care of me. Of course, we will be together for a long time in the future. If you need me, please feel free to ask." The last sentence won everyone's applause. Zhang Yunqi said thank you and turned to leave the classroom. When they arrived at the head teacher's office, Jiang Lihua was looking through some materials. When he saw Jiang Yunqi coming in, he pulled an office chair for Zhang Yunqi to sit on, and then asked about Zhang Yunqi's family and studies. Zhang Yunqi told the truth. Jiang Lihua felt a little emotional after listening to this. It is definitely not an easy thing for a poor student from a remote mountainous area to become the top scorer in the county's high school entrance examination and enter the best provincial key high school in the city. He said: "I checked your file. Your academic performance is very good. You have been ranked first every year in your school. That's very good. I won't ask too much of you in this regard. I believe you can handle it well. Of course, in addition to studying, I hope you can develop other abilities." Zhang Yunqi felt that Jiang Lihua had something else in mind, but he was not impatient. He smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your teaching, teacher. I will work hard. Is there anything else you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Lihua said, "It's like this. Military training will start tomorrow. During the training, we need an acting squad leader. I think you're pretty good. Of course, I have to criticize you for being late for the class meeting today. You should pay attention to it in the future and set a good example for everyone." Zhang Yunqi finally understood why Jiang Lihua came to see him. After thinking for a while, he said, "Teacher is right to criticize me. I will pay attention to it next time, but..." "But what?" "But teacher, do you want me to be the class monitor?" "Yes." "Teacher, I feel that my ability is not enough. I want to focus more on learning and personal improvement. I am afraid that I am not qualified to be the class monitor." ****** The sun sets in the west and dusk falls. Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School, which had been noisy all day, lit up with twinkling lights at night. After eating the big pot meal in the cafeteria, Zhang Yunqi and his classmate Wang Xiaokai, whom he had just met, took buckets of water to take a shower in the bathhouse. This guy was a chatterbox, and they talked about the same topic from the cafeteria to the bathhouse: the beauties in the class, a beauty named "First Sight", who was so pretty! Zhang Yunqi now only wanted to get rich as soon as possible, and then relive his youth on campus. As for the female classmates in the class, he didn't remember any of them on the first day of school. But Wang Xiaokai kept talking about how pretty the girl he first met was, so he was puzzled and asked: "How pretty is that girl you first met?" "It's just that the chicken is so pretty!" Zhang Yunqi resisted the urge to vomit blood, stayed away from the idiot to ensure safety, changed into his briefs and left.
Wang Xiaokai caught up and said, "Hey, by the way, Zhang Yunqi, what did our head teacher want to see you about this afternoon?" "They want me to be the acting monitor." "Just you?" Wang Xiaokai looked up with his nose in the air. Zhang Yunqi had no choice but to say: "He criticized me for being late this afternoon." Wang Xiaokai patted Zhang Yunqi on the shoulder to show his sympathy. He almost fainted from anger: "Fuck, so cheap!" Zhang Yunqi turned around and went back to the dormitory. Being a squad leader can only be said to be a waste of Jiang Lihua's kindness, because he really has no interest in it. He is already an adult, and instead of having the energy to serve the people, he would rather study hard and think about how to sell the handheld device in his hand to make some money. Wang Guibing had a total of 80 handheld game consoles, and he bought them all. According to the price Wang Guibing finally offered, 20 yuan per game console, the total cost was 1600 yuan, plus the dozens of yuan spent on batteries, which basically emptied his pockets of money. On the way back, he kept thinking about how to sell the Tetris handheld game console, otherwise he would not be able to afford food tomorrow. The most simple and crude way is of course to set up a street stall, but he is a freshman in high school and is in military training. It is okay for him to set up a street stall in school to sell books and stationery. In addition, although Tetris is a small puzzle game, it is just a temporary novelty and is far from being addictive, but the impact is ultimately bad. Of course, as a handheld puzzle game that is popular all over the world, the sensation and economic value that "Tetris" once caused can be said to be a miracle in the history of games, especially in China. As a popular puzzle game suitable for all ages that was well-known to every household in the 90s, its popularity is unmatched by any game in history. Later "Legend" and "League of Legends" had to stand aside. All in all, in the early 90s, the Tetris handheld console had an unimaginable market. It was for this reason that he took over Wang Guibing's 80 Tetris handheld consoles of unknown origin without hesitation. But the key point now was that he could not set up a street stall, so he could only sell them privately. But how to promote it? ****** (End of this chapter)
