Chapter 230 Turning a corner
For 20,000 yuan, I collected a small half of the computers in four Internet cafes. I rented a house in a bungalow outside the school. After we moved those computers into the rental house, the third brother smiled and asked me, "Brother Ming, are you going to turn these computers into money?"
Looking at those computers, I was very nervous. If these computers couldn't be transferred, I would probably lose all my money. There are the money I made from racking my brains, and the money my brothers earned with their blood. Feng Tao understood what I wanted to do, so he patted my shoulder with a smile and said he believed me.
"I still want to do a bigger business. Do you believe me?" I asked Feng Tao and the others.
"Brother Ming, just do it. We have a few handfuls of money, and we can't starve to death without money." The third brother advised me.
"Okay, it's done!" I gritted my teeth, wrote three IOUs, and collected all the computers in the other three Internet cafes. At that time, I owed more than 50,000 yuan, and I collected a lot of computers. I couldn't put a rental house, so we rented two more. Brother Hui saw that I had tidyed up so many computers, and he was a little worried. He said to me, "Obviously, you are a bit big!"
Without courage, there is no production, and fighting requires money. Without money, we may lose in a few rounds with Ma Xiaolong. Loyalty is no longer that era. In Cui Mingyu's words, it is now the world of money.
I plan to transfer all these computers to the village. Some of them were sold to rural people and some were exchanged for Internet cafes. The network administrator borrowed from Brother Hui, he taught us how to maintain computers and how to disassemble and install computers. He also helped us check which one is good and can sell it. Which one is bad and cannot be sold.
He helped us pick out more than 40 broken computers from four Internet cafes. Looking at these more than 40 broken computers, we felt distressed. The network administrator told us that it was okay, and the accessories inside could be sold to the computer city.
It is not easy for network administrators to help us. Our business will take a long time, and we always bother them. I don’t know much about computers. On the contrary, it is the third brother, who has extraordinary talent in this. After studying for about two days, he has become half a professional.
When I started a business, if it weren't for Dai Ji, I wouldn't miss the school anymore. One is that I don't like to recite, and the more I recite, the more I become, the more boring we are, we are busy making money.
It has been ten days since the first time we collected protection fees. During these ten days, we hardly went to school. The school just took leave and kept asking for leave to perfunctory teachers. In the next few days, we stayed in the rental house to test computers almost every day, and the phone calls with Dai Ji were getting fewer and fewer.
Five more days passed in a flash, and we finally sorted out some decent computers. Cui Mingyu and I had a good relationship, so I directly pulled the computers from the little customer he borrowed. After several consecutive trips, Cui Mingyu and the driver were exhausted. When they invited them to have lunch at noon, Cui Mingyu asked me with a smile, "Did you finally think about it?"
"Make some pocket money." I said to Cui Mingyu with a smile.
I had spent all the money, so I borrowed some money from Cui Mingyu. Cui Mingyu generously told me how much I wanted. After borrowing some money, we opened a store in the countryside to sell computers. For half a month, the business was in a downturn, and our worried hair was almost white.
It is simple to do business, but it is actually difficult. I just wanted to sell these computers at a very cheap price, but I never thought that many people don’t like to buy second-hand computers. If you want to buy, buy a new one, and no one is willing to buy second-hand computers.
For half a month, we spent every day in disappointment. The 20,000 yuan was gone, and we also owed Cui Mingyu and several Internet cafe owners a lot of debts. Sometimes we lie on the kang in the store and really want to be unable to sleep. That feeling is even more uncomfortable than making people beat after school every day. My sister-in-law heard that we were in business and helped me with the help of me these days. She cleaned the dust in the store, and she also cleaned the computer for me.
My sister-in-law saw that I had not sold a computer for half a month, so she felt sorry for me and said she wanted to buy one. My sister-in-law had one at home, but it was LCD. My sister-in-law might as well scold me, which made me even more uncomfortable. Dai Ji also stayed with me for two days during the holiday. She saw that I was busy doing business and not going to school. She asked me, "Zhang Mingming, don't you miss me anymore?"
I didn't say anything, and I really didn't miss it anymore. But for Dai Ji, I kept insisting. Dai Ji knew what I was thinking, so she didn't ask me the same thing. She had been with me for two days, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
We were eating and living in the store, and all the living expenses provided by our family were consumed. Seeing that all our money and hard work were about to be poured into the pile of broken computers, our turnaround came. The first money we earned at that time was from the computer city. My third brother and I were always doing it in the village. Feng Tao and Dongzi were doing it in the money for selling computer parts. At that time, there were more than 40 broken computer parts and monitors, and a total of less than 2,000 yuan were sold.
My third brother and I couldn't hold on without money. In winter, everything was money. Feng Tao and Dongzi immediately sent us the first sum of money. Seeing us, Feng Tao felt very distressed. At that time, I was worried all day long, and I was so thin that I was so swollen that I was about to speak.
"If not, let's sell all the computer accessories." After thinking for a long time, Feng Tao said to me.
After hearing Feng Tao's words, I frowned very deeply. We purchased more than 200 computers. If we dismantle all the computers into accessories and sell them, we will only be able to recover more than 10,000 at most. At that time, not only will our own 20,000 yuan be wasted, but we will not be able to pay back the money owed to the Internet cafe owner and Cui Mingyu.
It’s better to have it than to have no money. After hesitating for a long time, I finally agreed to Feng Tao’s idea. Our school is about to end the term, and I really can’t stand it anymore. The beautiful wish instantly turned into longing, and I was so sad that I was dying. I said to Feng Tao, the third brother and Dongzi, "Disasse tomorrow. I still want to see these computers." After that, I stroked each computer seriously, just like I wanted to touch my own children. Tears were in my eyes, and I regretted that I was too greedy.
I don’t know how I slept that night, but when I woke up the next day, I felt like I had cried, my eyes were so dry. When I woke up, everyone woke up, and they were all smoking quietly. I was not in the mood to eat breakfast, so I said to them, “Tear it.”
"Brother Ming, let's do it all the afternoon. If no one buys it, we will demolish it." The third brother said to me. Just like me, he couldn't bear it.
I smoked cigarettes all morning in disappointment, and in the afternoon, there was a turnaround. The person who came was the director of our village. He said that if the village wanted to take a microcomputer class, there must be a computer. It just so happened that I had been driving it for almost twenty days, so he wanted to see it. It was not very good to teach the children. Our computers were tried one by one, and it was impossible to break it. It would be absolutely fine to use it for three to five years. It was also because of the cheapness of ours. The director bought more than forty units at once.
Because I was happy, I bought two cigarettes for the director. When the director saw my cigarette, he praised me for being a good person, so he accepted it with a smile.
After this experience, I quickly contacted the middle schools in two townships and one county. The computers of the four Internet cafes were sold to four schools. Among them, I had my hard-working and perseverance. Of course, there were also my sugar-coated cannonballs.
Seeing computers being sent to various schools continuously, we clenched our fists and our eyes were constantly flashing. This joy of success made me feel the urge to shout dozens of times. After finishing my last business, we carefully installed the route for the school, we shouted out loud. Just one word, happy!
I didn't make much money, I was so tired that I was so worried that I was so worried that I had dying. In a month, 20,000 yuan became 40,000 yuan. These 40,000 yuan were the money I made after paying off all the money. With my bag, I rubbed my hands so cold. Snowflakes fell from the sky. Calculate the time. Dai Ji and I missed Christmas. I sacrificed too much to make money. In order to get along, I sacrificed too much. I haven't had a good time with Dai Ji for a month. Dai Ji should be very wronged, right?
With the 40,000 yuan, we carefully deposited it in the bank. After suffering, we realized that making money was not easy. Finally, we succeeded, and almost lost to death this time. After leaving the bank, we each breathed a sigh of relief. We were very tired. We all had their own holidays and did what we like to do.
