Chapter 50 Make some money
At first, Li Luo didn't pay much attention to this matter.
The school did not say that military training uniforms must come with a belt.
Moreover, the trousers of this military training uniform have elastic bands. For ordinary people, they basically cannot fall off when they wear them while walking normally. However, they may fall off easily when exercising.
That is to say, Ying Chanxi is relatively thin, especially her slim waist, and her military training pants look baggy as soon as she puts them on.
After taking just two steps, I feel like my pants are falling down. Although they will be caught by the waist and hips to prevent them from completely falling off, this is a censorious way to wear them.
If the movements were too wide during military training, he would definitely fall.
"Isn't there a belt?" Li Luo looked strange. He opened his military training uniform and then took out a belt. "Isn't there a belt?"
"It's not this one." Ying Chanxi shook his head, went back to the bedroom and came back again. He also took one in his hand and buckled it directly on his waist. "Look, this one is so thick that it is used to tie up your shirt.
It can’t fit through the holes of pants at all.”
Li Luo was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head to study, and found that it was really: "Maybe he didn't wear a belt in the first place."
With this thought, Li Luo took out his cell phone and walked to Xu Youyu's bedroom.
He first called Zhao Rongjun and urged him to quickly open his military training uniform to see if there was no belt.
After confirming this, Li Luo knocked on Xu Youyu's door again and asked about last year's military training.
"Oh, it seems that there is no belt on the pants." Xu Youyu poked his head out. After listening to Li Luo's question, he scratched his head and recalled, "But there was a clothing store opposite the school, and many students went there to buy belts.
Yes, you can go and have a look tomorrow."
"Is that so..." Li Luo nodded in understanding.
If you are an ordinary high school student, you will probably wait until tomorrow and go directly to that clothing store to buy one.
But Li Luo thought of something else, so he took out his cell phone and called his uncle Lin Xiufeng.
"Hello? Xiaoluo?" Lin Xiufeng was a little surprised. He didn't expect Li Luo to call at this point, "What's the matter?"
"Uncle." Li Luo thought for a moment and then said, "I remember that Third Grandpa's family sells clothes, right? Is it my cousin who is in charge?"
"Yes." Lin Xiufeng was a little strange. She didn't know why he asked this, but she still nodded and said, "Don't I work in your cousin's company? I usually transport a lot of clothes."
"That's right." Li Luo raised his eyebrows, then smiled, "Do you have a belt? It doesn't have to be an expensive one, it's very cheap and can last for a few days and a month without breaking."
"There should be." Lin Xiufeng recalled, "I remember there is inventory in the warehouse, but I have to ask about this. Why are you asking about this?"
"I have a small business here." Li Luo coughed twice and then said, "Let's see if you are interested, uncle."
…
August 25, Monday morning.
The proprietress of Yimei Clothing Store rarely opened the door at eight o'clock in the morning, but opened the door as early as six in the morning, and hung all kinds of belts on the shelf at the door.
Every year when the attached 1st Middle School and Qianjiang University start school, it is the harvest season for the boss lady.
On Zhenxing West Road, the clothing store closest to these two schools is their home.
A relative of the boss lady is the leader of the Logistics Office of Qianjiang University. During the annual purchase of military training uniforms, belts for students’ trousers are not specially purchased.
The purchasing department of the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School purchases goods together with Qianjiang University every year.
So every year at this time, students will try to buy belts.
After all, ordinary students don't buy a belt for themselves when they wear clothes. Therefore, the proprietress of Yimei Clothing Store can earn tens of thousands of yuan at a time from this every year.
For example, in the canteens in the dormitory area of Qianjiang University, most of the belts in them are purchased from her.
As for the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School, there is only a small supermarket downstairs from the dormitory that is open only after school in the evening, and the owner of the supermarket has some connections in the school. The proprietress of the clothing store does not operate the store. She just opens the door early and waits for students to come.
The campus and dormitory building of Attached No. 1 Middle School are separate.
Only the dormitory building for senior high school students is inside the campus.
The dormitory buildings for students in the first and second grades of high school are all in the dormitory park across the road from the school gate. They usually need to cross the road in and out of the school gate to go to and from school.
Under such circumstances, if you want to buy a belt after coming out of the dormitory building, you only need to turn left and walk a few steps to reach the entrance of Yimei Clothing Store.
After moving all the belts to the door early in the morning, the proprietress moved a stool and sat here, waiting for the cute prey to come to the door.
The belts next to them are divided into three grades, 15, 25, and 40, but in fact the wholesale cost price is only one or two yuan.
There are more than 600 students in the first class of the attached 1st middle school, and there are more than 100 day students. As long as more than half of them buy her belt, the boss lady can earn at least several thousand.
But just as she was thinking this, a truck drove slowly to the location between the clothing store and the gate of the dormitory park.
Because of the parking direction, the front of the car is facing the clothing store, and the carriage door at the rear is facing the exit of the dormitory park gate.
Lin Xiufeng jumped out of the driver's seat, turned around, walked to the truck compartment, and opened the door.
The landlady glanced at the truck and didn't pay much attention.
She was sitting inside the entrance of the clothing store, blowing the fan above her head. She could see the front of the truck at an angle, but she couldn't see the rear of the truck from this angle.
So from six o'clock in the morning until six thirty, almost no students came to the store to buy belts.
At first, the landlady didn't think anything of it. She just thought it was because the students were excited for their first day on campus. They slept late yesterday and slept in today.
But when two students wearing military training uniforms came to the store and asked about the price of belts, they heard that the cheapest one cost 15 yuan. They immediately turned around and left. The lady boss was dumbfounded.
"What do you mean?" the landlady muttered, "What else can you do if you don't buy it from me?"
With this thought in mind, the proprietress followed out of the store with a suspicious look on her face, looked at the gate of the dormitory area, and then froze.
I saw a bunch of high school freshmen wearing military training uniforms gathered behind the truck.
The boss lady took a closer look and found that the carriage was full of belts. The students lined up to buy the belts one by one for ten yuan each, which was much cheaper than what the boss lady was selling.
Seeing this scene, the landlady was so confused that she almost fainted.
"Where did you come from? Are you selling things here? Is it legal for you?" The proprietress was a little angry and walked up to Lin Xiufeng and asked.
Being suddenly asked this question, Lin Xiufeng's face was full of confusion, and then he turned to look at Li Luo beside him.
Li Luo, who was also wearing military training uniform, was squatting on the carriage selling belts happily. At this time, he glanced at the landlady and asked curiously:
"Auntie, are you the proprietress of the clothing store next door?"
With that said, Li Luo suddenly looked at the classmates around him and said sincerely: "Auntie may be a little anxious too. After all, we all have to make money. If you are anxious about queuing up, you can also go to auntie's store to have a look."
"What are you looking at?" a classmate complained, "The cheapest belt in her family costs 15 yuan, and the most expensive one costs 40 yuan. It's just a military training piece. Why buy such an expensive belt?"
As soon as these words came out, the students who were originally agitated in the queue stopped again.
The lady boss looked at the students who were not moving, and her face suddenly turned red with anger, but she couldn't say anything. In the end, she could only grit her teeth and said: "I sell them for ten yuan too!"
