Chapter 35 Revenge Zhang Yunqi left the classroom and came to the school was not over yet and students were not allowed to enter or leave the gate of No. 1 Middle School. Zhang Yunqi chatted with the security guard Xiao Zhao for a few words, threw a Hongtashan cigarette to him, and opened the back door for him. "Xiao Zhang, you are finally here!" Zhang Yunqi had just come out of the school gate when Sister Li, who was sweeping the dust with a feather duster, saw him and said excitedly, "I sold one yesterday and two today. A boy came to buy one this afternoon, but I didn't have any. Oh, I was so anxious at the time. I wanted to find you but I didn't have your contact information, so I missed a business deal in vain." "It's okay. You're the only one in the entire Jiangchuan Middle School that has the goods. I'll definitely come back in a couple of days." Zhang Yunqi leaned on the counter. Sister Li was very understanding. She put down the feather duster, took out the payment for three Tetris handheld game consoles from the cash box and handed them to him. As he counted the money, he said, "How is it, Sister Li, are you interested in selling handheld Tetris consoles?" Sister Li stretched her neck and asked, "Yes, how do you sell it?" Zhang Yunqi said: "It's divided into consignment sales and wholesale. Which one do you want to do?" "What's the difference between consignment sales and wholesale?" "If it's consignment sales, it's 10% off the retail price of the handheld device. I'll leave the handheld device with you, and I'll settle the bill with you after I sell it. If it's wholesale sales, it's 20% off the retail price, but you need to pay for the goods first." Sister Li immediately started to make plans in her mind.
This matter cannot be decided hastily. The wholesale price is 20% off, and the agency price is 10% off. The difference between the two is a full five dollars, which is not a small amount for her. This is how retail business works, relying on small profits and quick turnover. Most of the items in her store do not have high profits. Electronic products like Tetris are different, with high prices and large profit margins. If she can sell two or three units a day, she can make a lot of money. Although Zhang Yunqi's Tetris handheld game console is expensive, this expensiveness is relative to what she sells. Compared with similar handheld game consoles that cost hundreds or thousands of yuan, it is definitely good value for money. Moreover, this cheap but highly playable Tetris machine has not yet been rolled out, and the market for Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School has just begun, so it has great potential. The agency sales in the past two days have also proved its popularity, so wholesale is the best option. Even if we make a conservative estimate, as long as there is one unit sold every day, she can earn 10 yuan a day, which is 300 yuan a month. This is a lot, which is the monthly salary of an ordinary worker in Jiangchuan City! After thinking about it, Sister Li had a plan in mind. She said to Zhang Yunqi, "Xiao Zhang, then buy some for me in bulk! Don't buy so many at the beginning. Bring me five." Zhang Yunqi raised his eyes and looked at Sister Li: "Are you sure? I don't have much of this stuff anymore. The next time I get it in, I might have to postpone it for a few days." Sister Li hesitated, and finally said, "How about ten?" Zhang Yunqi nodded: "I'll bring the goods to you in the evening. I'm leaving first." Sister Li said "Hey", stopped Zhang Yunqi who was about to leave, and said, "Xiao Zhang, I want to ask you something. Why are you thinking of doing this kind of business instead of studying hard?" "A scalpel is not as good as a razor, and making missiles is not as good as selling tea eggs. Don't worry, our business has just started, and it will last for a long time." Zhang Yunqi waved his hand and left. He knew that Sister Li asked this question probably because she was worried that he, a high school student from a key middle school, was just doing business for a short time and might quit at any time, and she would be happy for nothing in the end. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, students who can enter the No. 1 middle school in the city have a bright future. To do this kind of peddler business is like having your brain stuck in the door. ****** In Class 168, Zou Zheng became more and more unscrupulous. On Friday, the last self-study class was for general cleaning. Zou Zheng took a few classmates to get cleaning tools, and then distributed labor tasks in the class as the class monitor. Zhang Yunqi heard from Wang Xiaokai that the reason Zou Zheng dared to be so presumptuous recently was because the head teacher Jiang Lihua had tacitly agreed to let Zou Zheng be the class monitor. Originally, the first-year high school students in Jiangchuan City were supposed to hold class monitor elections and elect the class committee, but Jiang Lihua had been postponing the class monitor election because he admired Zou Zheng, and from time to time he implicitly expressed an attitude to his classmates: there was no need to hold class monitor elections, and Zou Zheng would naturally transition to become the official class monitor! The classmates were all a little unhappy, but there was nothing they could do. Many of them even passively accepted the decision. So Zou Zheng openly gave orders in the class in the name of class monitor. During the general cleaning on Friday, he took out a list and assigned people to the general cleaning team. When he called Zhang Yunqi, he stared at him provocatively and said loudly, "Zhang Yunqi, Wang Xiaokai, Yang Wei, Tian Zhuangzhuang, the four of you will mop the floor in the classroom and the corridor. Make sure you mop it clean. There must not be any footprints or water stains!" Zhang Yunqi sat in the chair without saying a word. Wang Xiaokai was quite dissatisfied. Zou Zheng was obviously retaliating by giving them the heaviest cleaning tasks. He stood up and fought back, "Why? We were the ones mopping the floor last time, why should we mop the floor again this time?" Zou Zheng was very magnanimous, and said in front of the whole class: "Okay, if you don't drag it, I will do it alone!"
As expected, Zou Zheng took on the task of mopping the entire classroom and corridor by himself, and he worked very hard. The four people in dormitory 213 immediately fell behind. People are very mean, especially those like Wang Xiaokai who like to join in the fun. When Zou Zheng directed him to work, he felt very depressed, but when he was really left aside and watched other students working hard, he felt isolated again. Everyone in dormitory 213 had this feeling, but they had no reason to resist Zou Zheng's orders, because everything he did was tacitly approved and recognized by Jiang Lihua, and they were all good things done for the collective benefit of everyone. It's like working in a company, where the relationship between you and your immediate superior is incompatible, but when facing his orders, you can do nothing but curse his ancestors in your heart. On Monday, Zou Zheng reported to Jiang Lihua that Zhang Yunqi and three others disobeyed the general cleaning arrangements and did not do the cleaning. Jiang Lihua was furious. During the self-study class, he criticized Zhang Yunqi and others for not obeying the arrangements and not participating in collective labor. He praised them one after another! Wang Xiaokai, Yang Wei, and Tian Zhuangzhuang all kept their heads down and said nothing, but Zhang Yunqi was not the type of person who would let others pee and shit on him. Facing Zou Zheng's repeated provocations, he remained silent because he knew it was useless. He stood up and said, "Teacher, I think the arrangement of this general cleaning is unreasonable. Last week, the four of us were mopping the floor. According to the rotation system for general cleaning, we should not be mopping the floor this week." Jiang Lihua knocked on the table angrily and said, "We are all classmates. You mop the floor while he wipes the windows. It doesn't matter if you do more or less!" Zhang Yunqi said: "Teacher is right, we shouldn't be so fussy, but although this is just a small matter, rules are rules, and everyone must follow the rules to make our group more united. Here I would like to ask Zou Zheng, you arranged for the general cleaning, why did you arrange for us to mop the floor several times in a row? Is it because you hate us, so you took the opportunity to retaliate?" ****** (End of this chapter)
