Chapter 50: Small business

In the two days in the city, Li Wei walked around the street after helping the shop after work. She walked into a shop selling stationery.
This store has a lot of goods and is more like a wholesale department, and many merchants come here to wholesale small things to sell. Li Wei took a fancy to a notebook and asked the price. It was 50 cents cheaper than the small shops around their school, so she hurriedly bought three.
Looking at the dazzling array of products, an idea came into her mind quickly. It's better to buy a batch of trendy items and sneak them into the school to sell. It should also make a fortune. She put her eyes on those boxes of postcards, letter paper, and star posters.
These things are very popular among girls, and a postcard can be sold for 50 cents. But here, as long as you buy more than ten boxes, all are two yuan per box, and there are ten per box. One can earn three cents. She can make a profit by selling it slightly cheaper than the commissary, and she is less tired than selling sorbet. This profit is indeed attractive, but she did not dare to buy too much for the first time. First, she chose ten boxes of postcards, bought ten posters, and a box of stickers. She bought fifty.
Li Wei paid almost all the pocket money she used to buy these things.
When she carried these things back to the shop, Liu Chunzhi was startled. Looking at the celebrity pictures on the poster, I wondered: "Are you chasing stars too?"
"What star? I don't chase, I do business. I took this back and sold it."
When Li Minghua heard of Li Wei's move, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Wei Wei is also quite business-minded."
Liu Chunzhi curled her lips and said, "I think she is crazy about money. You are a student who doesn't study seriously, so she spends time studying how to make money and what to do. Don't I give you enough pocket money?"
Li Wei said: "Enough, but I also want to find something to do."
Faced with the opposition from their parents, the Li Jianping brothers supported Li Wei on this matter. Li Jianbo gave Li Wei an idea: "I tell you, don’t take too much to school at one time. The teacher finds out that if you do this, I’m afraid it will be troublesome. . You take a few photos at a time. If the teacher asks, you will say that you brought them for someone."
Li smiled and said, "Thank you brother for reminding me."
The two-and-a-half-day holiday came to an end. Li Wei only carried a small bag with her homework in it when he came. When he returned, it became a large bag of small bags.
When school started, Li Wei quietly packed two boxes of postcards into his school bag and took them to school.
The first class was a math class. Maybe everyone was still a little uncomfortable after the holiday. Everyone was drowsy. Li Wei held the pen and quickly remembered the handwriting. Finally, until the end of get out of class, Li Wei took out the postcard. Li Chunxiao, who was at the same table, saw it at a glance and immediately came over and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to like Zhou Huimin too. Your version is really good-looking, where did you buy it?"
Li smiled and replied: "Do you want me to sell you."
"Sell? How to buy?"
Li Wei said, "Forty cents, three for one dollar."
The price was a dime cheaper than the commissary, and it was quite affordable. Seeing her heart move, she paid for it: "Okay, I'll buy three."
Li Wei poured out all the postcards in the box and let him choose. Li Chunxiao chose carefully, and she was very satisfied.
"Li Wei, you can do it. Now it's time to sell things." Li Chunxiao praised it sincerely.
"Then you can help me publicize it. I have postcards, stickers, and posters. The prices are cheaper than those outside."
Li Chunxiao was just a ridicule. I didn't expect Li Wei to really start a business. She was a little worried for Li Wei: "You really want to sell things?"
Li smiled and said, "Yes, I don't chase stars."
Li Chunxiao kindly reminded her: "Be careful, don't let Teacher Song know."
Li Weihui smiled: "I know."
Li Chunxiao is very popular, and she knows more than half of her in the next class, and she also knows people in the second and first grades. Li Wei asked her to help with the promotion, but she really got the right person.
After school at noon, there were girls who came over.
"Are there any Tigers?"
"Yes, yes. There are postcards and stickers. By the way, there is a poster. I will bring it tomorrow if I want it."
In one day, the postcards she brought to school were sold out, and a dozen stickers were also sold. After returning home, she counted the money and smiled with flowers on her face. These little girls made good money.
When Li Xia was fiddling with the star posters, she also hurriedly gathered around.
"Liu Tianwang's this one is really handsome, when did you buy it?" Li Xia immediately showed obsessive eyes.
"Sister, do you like it too?"
"Like it, why don't you like it, you want to give it to me?"
Li smiled narrowly and said, "Two yuan each."
Li Xia Limala lowered her face and said, "I think you fell into the eyes of money. I'm not rare." However, Li Xia said no, but she was very honest. He turned around and gave Li Wei two dollars, and Li Wei handed over the poster of Liu Tianwang to Li Xia.
Li Xiatian almost jumped up like she liked it in the past, so she only missed the kiss of the poster in front of Li Wei. Li Wei wondered how these little girls were so obsessed with strangers who had never seen them with their own eyes, watched them only a few times on TV, or could hum. It was also the first time that she lifted the concept of star benefit, but she felt very novel.
The things she bought were almost sold within a few days. This afternoon I met Teacher Song’s Chinese class, because it was the last class, when the class was over, he did not immediately let the students go.
"Everyone sits still and passes the schoolbag up to me for inspection."
As soon as Teacher Song said this, the bottom was a little restless. What is this? Everyone is still playing the trick of checking schoolbags anymore. Only Li Wei knew that Teacher Song was here for her.
Everyone lined up, pulling away the school bags one by one for Teacher Song to check. When it was Li Wei's turn, she pretended to pass the schoolbag over as if nothing had happened. With a calm face, Teacher Song flipped through Li Wei's schoolbag inside and out, and even poured out all the books, carefully flipped through them, and then said: "Students focus on learning. I don't want to see some Unhealthy trends exist."
Li answered in a low voice, silently packed the book and went out. Li Chunxiao, who was standing behind her, really squeezed a cold sweat for Li Wei, so that Li Wei could pass the level smoothly. But she saw with her own eyes that Li Wei brought a lot of goods today, and it was a surprise inspection. Why did Teacher Song confiscated it? Where did she hide things in a short time?
Li Chunxiao came out, and Li Wei happened to be downstairs. Li Chunxiao stopped her and asked in a low voice, "Are you the accused?"
"Is it unknown?"
"Then where do your things go?"
Li Wei smiled playfully: "Guess what."
Li Chunxiao was confused, how could she guess it, could it be possible that Li Wei could still perform magic?
