Chapter 105 Da Niu's plans are really getting out of hand.
The chubby girl next to her was very curious about Qian Yan'er's smug expression.
The two grew up together, and although Qian Yan'er never really "grew up," it didn't affect her understanding of him.
She pulled Qian Yan'er to a corner to chat with the crickets. "Yan'er, you're so happy because you found money yesterday?!"
Qian Yan'er's smile widened. He patted the chubby girl's hand that was holding his, and raised his chin slightly: "Of course! Let me tell you..."
Lin Xi glanced at the "employees" chatting in the corner and simply smiled.
After all, the feelings between these two are exactly the same as those between him and Gao Mengli!
As Lin Xi was thinking, Gao Mengli quietly walked to his side and gently patted his shoulder, "What are you looking at? Why are you smiling like an auntie?!"
Lin Xi pointed to the two people in the corner in front of her, and Gao Mengli looked in that direction and nodded in understanding!
The bond between childhood sweethearts, as long as it's not romantic love, means we're the best of friends in the world!
If either party "changes their mindset," the relationship will suffer greatly!
"Father, mother!"
Just then, Da Niu ran in from outside carrying a basket on his back. When he saw Lin Xi and Gao Mengli, he happily called out!
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi heard the sound and turned around to see their dead child at the store.
The two men felt a pang of guilt as they recalled the foal they had given away...
"Hey...hey Da Niu, what are you doing carrying a basket on your back?"
Lin Xi quickly changed the subject, fearing that his eldest son would accuse them of giving away a foal with a "serious illness".
Da Niu was very excited, his eyes sparkling. "Father, Mother, the teacher is so grateful that you sent a little pony to the academy!"
Knowing that my family owns a shop in Xicheng District, they allow me to walk out for meals every day, but I have to go back home to rest at night and can't stay out overnight!
Lin Xi and Gao Mengli breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Da Niu's words.
As long as it's not a returned pony, then everything is fine!
Smiles returned to their faces.
Gao Mengli quickly took the basket off Da Niu's back and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Da Niu, why do you carry a basket when you're commuting to school and eating?"
Da Niu scratched his head, grinning from ear to ear: "Mom, it's just that I have to commute to school, it's more convenient for me to come out!"
I asked my classmate if they wanted to bring some food!
So, nine classmates asked me to bring them breakfast! I also had to ask my mom to cook four bowls of dumplings and make five jianbing (Chinese crepes) for me!
Gao Mengli's eyes widened. Her child was quite good; he even helped her family get business.
Hurry up and prepare it for him!
Lin Xi frowned in disapproval, "Da Niu, you should be studying, why are you doing errands?"
They started school later than others and had a weaker foundation. If they didn't study hard, they wouldn't even pass the preliminary examination!
His brat will probably cry himself to death by then!
Da Niu's smile remained unchanged after hearing Lin Xi's words.
He pulled out his little abacus from his pocket and ran it through the pages. "Dad, how can that be? I'm not stupid!"
Each person has to give me one coin for each meal they serve, and I earn nine coins per trip!
Oh, and I also recommended our rough toilet paper!
"Father, how did you price it?!"
Lin Xi paused for a moment, clicked her tongue twice, and re-examined her son.
His son has a real "shrewd businessman's" mind!
Especially the way he uses the abacus, it makes him seem like he's been to school and is even more shrewd!
Lin Xi cleared his throat and looked at Da Niu, whose eyes were sparkling as he answered, "Ahem, most people have never used rough tissues. In the past, people used bamboo sticks or leaves when they went to the outhouse, which didn't cost any money."
Therefore, the price is not high if it is to be sold.
Your mother and I have discussed it and decided to open up the market with a low price first, so that people will get into the habit of using toilet paper.
So the price was set at 70 coins per bundle, which is 100 bundles.
One large sheet can be broken down into six smaller sheets, enough for three or four uses!
"70 coins a piece?!" After hearing the price, Da Niu started frantically calculating on his abacus!
After a while, Da Niu raised his head, his eyes wide open, and there was a hint of excitement in them.
"Father, set the price as you want! I'll sell each of my classmates for one coin, and I'll still make 30 coins per stack!"
If a person uses one sheet of paper every two days per month, that's 15 sheets a month! That's equivalent to a person using a ream of paper every six and a half months!
Most people can afford to spend about 11 yuan on toilet paper per month!
而现在厕纸我接了12个人同窗的订单!那就是6个半月我能卖12刀纸,一刀我挣三十文,12刀我挣360!
That means I can earn 56 copper coins every month!
The academy has nearly a hundred students. If I could turn them all into my customers, I could earn around 465 copper coins a month!
Da Niu was calculating with his abacus, muttering to himself about the costs, profits, and needs.
Lin Xi was completely confused; his head was spinning from all the talking about his dog!
Lin Xi looked at the excited Da Niu and pursed her lips, "Da Niu, your algorithm is indeed clever, but where do you find the time to manage all this? You still have to study."
And this business is just starting out; it might not go as smoothly as you think.
When did this brat become obsessed with business? He's such a smooth middleman!
Da Niu disagreed, "Dad, how will we know if we don't try!"
Besides, I can use my spare time, which won't interfere with my studies.
My classmates all love our products. I've assured them with my integrity, so don't worry, they'll definitely sell well!
"Once I've successfully promoted our family's rough toilet paper and towels within the college, I'll get them to recommend them to their families. Our business will be even bigger then!"
Thinking of this, Da Niu's heart pounded with excitement, his hands trembled, and he started calculating even faster with his abacus!
When he earns money, he can cover part of the expenses for buying books at bookstores or taking exams in the prefectural city, including travel costs, tuition fees, and management fees, thus easing the burden on his parents.
Although his grandparents told him that they would keep 30% of the money from selling tissues for his education.
But who would complain about having too much money!
Moreover, he figured out that reading was incredibly expensive!
So we're carefully planning to build a big house for his parents as soon as possible!
Because he realized that his parents' ambitions lay not in doing business!
It might just fall apart in a couple of days.
As the eldest grandson of the eldest son, he should juggle both his studies and business! He should expand and strengthen his business so that his parents can retire and enjoy their retirement as soon as possible!
He is his parents' way of ensuring their future happiness!
After Gao Mengli finished packing her things, she saw Da Niu excitedly calculating with an abacus!
She waved to Da Niu, "Da Niu, everything is ready, and this separate food box in the basket is for you!"
"The rough tissues you wanted, I'll have Yanzi carry them to you! Oh, and carrots too..."
As she said that last sentence, Gao Mengli couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Da Niu stopped what he was doing with his abacus, shook it twice, stuffed it into his arms, and ran over happily, "Alright! Thank you, Mom!"
Da Niu quickly took out the money his classmate had given him for meals from his purse and handed it to Gao Mengli.
He then took out 70 coins from his savings from selling toothpaste and placed them in Gao Mengli's hand!
