  Chapter 7 I Don’t Regret What I Do

   "Thirty, impossible, no sale or no sale."

  Hearing the other party's offer, the middle-aged boss opened his eyes wide and refused directly.

   Just kidding, he paid 20 yuan for this wooden cabinet. If he sold it for 30 yuan, he wouldn't even be able to earn back the labor costs.

"Boss, I dare say that you may not be able to sell this broken wooden cabinet for a year. After one year, you don't know what the wooden cabinet will look like. Besides, this broken wooden cabinet is in your hands. The store also takes up too much space, no matter how you calculate it, it’s not worth it for you, it’s not better for me to help you deal with it.”

  Although the price was lowered, Zhou Anan had a polite smile on his face.

  Buying and selling is talking about a calm mind.

  No way, whoever made him have too little money, every penny he can save is a penny.

   "This line, thirty-five you take away. If you disagree, forget it."

   "Okay, I'll take it."

  Looking seriously at the boy in front of him, the middle-aged boss pondered for a few seconds, added five yuan, and agreed to the deal.

  After all, in July and August, the air conditioner is the main source of his income. This broken wooden cabinet is really taking up too much space in the store, and he usually feels very uncomfortable when he sees it.

   Now earn fifteen yuan, forget it.

   These days, young people are also thieves and thieves, and business is not easy.

   "Boss, I'll add another five yuan to you, and help me deliver it to the opposite of the Shangshang Supermarket, how about it?"

  Bought the wooden cabinet at such a price, Zhou Anan smiled inwardly, and added another sentence.

   Asking him to find someone else to transport it is not a matter of five yuan, let alone his time is of the essence.

   "Industrial and Commercial Supermarket? Okay, give me a hand."

  The business was completed, and the middle-aged boss didn't talk too much nonsense, so he moved the wooden cabinet to the small tricycle at the door.

  The straight-line distance was only 500 meters, and the tricycle that ignored the retrograde rules arrived in a blink of an eye, but it also scared Zhou Anan, who was sitting behind, into a cold sweat.

  As a successful person who will inevitably strive for a well-off life, Zhou Anan feels that he will stay away from tricycles in the future and cherish life.

   "Boy, where is your adult?"

  After chatting a few words on the road, the middle-aged boss looked at the pile of tables and chairs that had grown up in the open space at the corner, and couldn't help asking curiously.

  I don’t know which family trained such a young man, he is too good at bargaining.

   "My dad and the others went grocery shopping, boss, come over to have a barbecue when you are free tonight."

  As if he had expected it a long time ago, Zhou Anan began to solicit business without blushing and heartbeat, and handed the other party a cigarette.

  If it was the time when he had just graduated from his previous life, Zhou Anan would blush when talking to strangers, especially when the remedial class was first held, he would personally hand out leaflets, that kind of experience was simply sour.

  People are forced out. If a person has social phobia, he has definitely never experienced social friction.

  What a strange disease, rubbing it in society will heal naturally.

  Of course, there are also those who cannot be cured, either gnawing on old age, or starving to death.

   "Hey, I didn't expect there to be a barbecue here. Okay, I have time tonight, I'll call a few people over to join in the fun."

   Unexpectedly, there is a barbecue stall in this place. It seems that the scale is not small, and the middle-aged man who took the cigarette is naturally very interested.

  If the taste of the barbecue is okay, it will be a good place to go when you are bored at night.

   "Okay, when the time comes, I'll give you a 10% discount."

   and the other party moved the wooden cabinet, Zhou Anan said with a smile, and handed over forty yuan by the way.

  Calculating the planned expenses, Zhou Anan couldn't help but twitched in his heart.

   "Good."

  Looking at the money in his hand, he put it in his trouser pocket casually. The middle-aged man with a cigarette in his mouth smiled and waved, got on the tricycle, turned and left.

   "Huh."

   Putting down the two big bags of vegetables and meat in his hand, Zhou Anan wiped the sweat from his head.

   Fortunately, the vegetable market is opposite, otherwise the hot weather would be unbearable.

Looking at the clock hanging in the shop next door, Zhou Anan, feeling that time is not waiting for me, ran to the small department store opposite the sweat-soaked T-shirt, and spent ten minutes bargaining plus a 10% discount on barbecue in the first week of opening The condition, I bought 23 iron plates and 20 small iron plates for 66 yuan, and asked the merchant to give three rolls of plastic wrap as a gift.

  In addition, Zhou Anan bought six power strips and eight light bulbs, and spent another 65 yuan.

  Entrepreneurial funds are poured out like water.

   "Big brother, drink some water."

  Just as Zhou Anan was covering the wooden cabinet with plastic wrap and preparing to put the dishes on the plate, a girl's voice sounded beside him.

"You are?"

  Turning her head to look at the slightly plump but good-looking little girl, Zhou Anan felt that the other party looked a little familiar, and couldn't help but stay for a few seconds on the protruding part of the other party.

  He is less than 1.6 meters tall, with a fair face with a little baby fat, a ponytail, and good-looking legs. The place is not big.

   It seems that he has met the other party, but he can't remember it for a while.

  Who is it? Impress him a little bit.

   "My mother asked me to bring you a bottle of water, in case you don't have enough water and you faint."

  There was a cunning flash in her eyes, the girl said with a smile.

   She rarely saw such an image of a high school student. Although the other party's sweaty face was ugly, even a bit ugly, she didn't hate it.

"thanks."

  Looking at Aunt Chen who was smiling and waving at him in the cake shop, Zhou Anan took the water from her and thanked her.

  After studying the opponent's geometric conditions, Zhou Anan decided not to think about irrelevant things.

   Making money is the first priority.

   "Big brother, are you going to be a barbecue restaurant?"

   Turning around with her hands behind her back and looking at the surrounding decorations, the girl asked casually.

   When talking about eating, her eyes lit up.

   "Yes, you are welcome to come over to have a barbecue at night, and I will give you a 20% discount."

  As for the routine of attracting customers, Zhou An'an casually picked it up.

  No way, he was in this business for the first time, and he didn't know what the next development would be. It's always good to have one more customer.

   Whether you earn more or less, it all depends on God's will.

   "Okay, it's only 20% off."

   Shaking her hands, she made a gesture of eight, and the girl pouted a little dissatisfied.

  This movement seems familiar, but I just can't remember it.

   "50% off, no lower."

   Putting aside that weird thought, Zhou Anan glanced at a certain height in front of him, and directly gave a maximum discount.

   If it goes any lower, his profit will be less than 100%.

   This is still the case when the little sister in front of me is attractive. Of course, the most important thing is that he doesn't even know if the barbecue stall is in business.

  No way, his start-up capital can only be used for these small businesses. Barbecue stalls are a line of business that he believes has the highest cost-to-benefit ratio so far. Who told him not to memorize those lottery numbers, or else he would be a multi-millionaire in no time and reach the pinnacle of his life.

   "Then it's a deal, 50% off, and you can't go back on your word. At that time, I will ask my classmates to come over and help you get business."

   Didn't expect the other party to be so generous, the girl smiled and said.

   "I, Zhou An'an, will never regret what I do."

  Started sorting out the vegetables in the big bag, Zhou Anan replied casually.
