Chapter 341 All the people of Jinling are looking forward to this day
In the restaurant, a girl with single eyelids and phoenix eyes came to Qin Changsheng, "Are you looking for me?"
Qin Changsheng raised his head and glanced at the girl, almost not recognizing her.
The girl in front of me, who was cleanly washed and wearing a new pair of neutral casual clothes, was the dirty-looking little stone yesterday.
Qin Changsheng glanced at Zhuyeqing: "Did you arrange this?"
Zhu Yeqing smiled and said: "Last night you said you wanted this little girl to follow you from now on. I thought that she wouldn't look too sloppy, so I arranged for someone to buy her new clothes and take a bath to tidy up."
"Um."
Qin Changsheng nodded, pointed to the chair next to him, and said to Xiao Shitou: "Sit down and chat while we eat."
"good."
Xiao Shitou didn't know how to be polite, so he sat down after hearing this, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
"How old are you this year?" Qin Changsheng asked as he watched her eat.
"It should be 17 years old, I'm not sure."
Little Shitou answered vaguely with his mouth full of food.
After a short exchange, Qin Changsheng probably found out that Xiao Shitou was born in a rural area, his parents died early, and his only grandmother passed away not long after.
She had a good meal in the village for several years, but finally couldn't stay any longer and left the village to wander.
In the blink of an eye, he has been wandering outside for about ten years.
On the way, she met a little boy who also had no parents or family and was wandering outside. He was three years younger than her. The two of them treated each other as siblings and stayed together to keep each other warm.
This time, she accidentally learned that Chitian Casino recruits underground fighters to fight tigers. If they lose, they will get a pension of one million, and if they win, they will get a bonus of 30 million.
Because there were no requirements on the challenger's age or gender, Xiao Shitou came with the determination to die.
She has no nostalgia for anything in life, but being able to get a pension of 1 million can make her brother live a better life. This is a very cost-effective deal no matter how you look at it.
Qin Changsheng asked: "If you die and give others a happy life, do you think it's worth it?"
Xiao Shitou shook his head firmly and said, "He is no one else, he is my brother."
Qin Changsheng spread his hands and said: "But he is not your biological brother. You two are not related by blood. They are just two poor people who met together by chance."
"What's the use of blood ties? Although I haven't gone to school, I've seen a lot of things over the years. I've seen a lot of brothers turning against each other and children turning against each other."
"Back then, there was an old man in his nineties in our village who had to take turns going to his children's homes for dinner every day, but his children and grandchildren often kept the door closed and wouldn't let him in."
Xiao Shitou looked at Qin Changsheng: "But my brother and I are different. At least in the past few years, we have really helped each other and are closer than relatives."
Qin Changsheng smiled, turned to look at Zhuye Qing and said: "Make arrangements for her and her brother. Arrange a house for them in Jinling. The more dilapidated the house, the better, as long as it can accommodate people. Then arrange a school for them and send them there."
go to school."
"Sure." Zhuyeqing nodded in agreement.
Qin Changsheng thought for a moment and then said: "She has never studied, and her younger brother is probably about the same. Let's arrange one of them in the first year of high school and the other in the first year of junior high school."
Zhuye Qing hesitated and said: "I guess she is not even as good as a third-grade student in elementary school. If you ask her to study in the first grade of high school, will she be able to do it?"
"How can a person who is not even afraid of death be defeated in learning?"
Qin Changsheng smiled and asked Xiao Shitou: "Are you right?"
Xiao Shitou pursed his lips and said: "Of course I'm not afraid, but the one million you promised me..."
Zhu Yeqing frowned and said, "What do you know? Mr. Qin arranges a house and a school for you. This is to help you succeed in your studies and get ahead. The value cannot be measured by one million."
"With what Mr. Qin said, from now on, you and your brother can go to school and study like normal children, with a roof over your head. As for tuition and living expenses, you two siblings will naturally not be missing!"
Xiao Shitou understood, his eyes became a little wet, he nodded heavily and said: "I know!"
"From now on, if you have anything to do, just ask Boss Zhu's people. I come to Jinling occasionally and will visit you. As I said before, I will only give you and your brother a chance to study. If you don't know how to cherish it,
If you don’t get good grades in the college entrance examination and high school entrance examination, you won’t have to study in the future.”
Qin Changsheng smiled, stood up, and said to Zhuye Qing: "It's eight o'clock, Huiwanjia Supermarket should be open, I'll leave first."
Zhuye Qing nodded and said: "Okay, you go to the main store and leave all the remaining stores to me."
…
According to the information given by Yang Paner yesterday, Huiwanjia Supermarket has opened a total of 153 stores in Jinling City.
Among them, there are 32 large supermarkets and the rest are small and medium-sized supermarkets.
Supermarkets of all sizes can be said to occupy the huge area of Jinling.
The place Qin Changsheng wants to go is the main store of Huiwanjia Supermarket.
It is the one with the largest area and the largest number of customers.
The head office is located in the old town of Jinling City, not far from the Qinhuai River. It is a seven-story building covering an area of tens of thousands of hectares.
When Qin Changsheng arrived at the entrance of the supermarket, many people were already coming in and out. Most of the people coming out were carrying shopping bags containing food, daily necessities and other things.
"Vegetables, fresh vegetables, boss, would you like to buy some vegetables? They are all grown in my own garden. They are green and pollution-free. Look, they were all picked this morning. They are very fresh."
On the roadside in front of the supermarket, there was an old man in his seventies wearing a worn-out Chinese tunic suit, pushing a tricycle with various fresh vegetables piled on it, including radishes, leeks, lettuce, peppers, celery, etc.
Dishes.
Seeing Qin Changsheng getting off the car not far away, the old man smiled and greeted in a humble tone.
Qin Changsheng raised his eyebrows, walked over, grabbed a bunch of celery, and asked: "Uncle, how do you sell this celery?"
The old man showed a sincere smile and said: "Two yuan per pound, boss, my celery is very good. Look, a pound of celery in the supermarket costs three and eight yuan. I only need two yuan."
He was afraid that Qin Changsheng would find it too expensive, so he pointed to the poster posted at the door of Huiwanjia Supermarket, which listed some special price dishes, including celery, and the special price of celery was three yuan and eighty a pound.
Qin Changsheng glanced at it and asked: "Uncle, if they sell it for three and eight yuan, it's still a special price. If you sell it for two yuan, can you make money?"
The old man nodded repeatedly, twirled his fingers, and calculated for Qin Changsheng: "Yes, yes, the cost of growing these celery is more than one yuan and fifty cents per catty. I can make fifty cents from selling one catty."
Qin Changsheng asked: "The cost is one yuan and a half? Then why don't you sell these vegetables directly to Huiwanjia Supermarket? Your vegetables are so fresh and you can sell them to them for two yuan a pound. They will definitely want it, right?"
The old man smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said: "Boss, you are really good at joking. With a business as big as Huiwanjia Supermarket, how can you ask for my old man's food? If I want to sell the food in my hands in batches, I can only give two
The first-order vegetable sellers, those vegetable sellers don’t pay me much. They give me at most one dollar and seventy cents for a pound of celery. Those second-order vegetable sellers collect a large amount of vegetables before supplying them to Huiwanjia Supermarket.”
Qin Changsheng nodded and asked: "Then, how much do you think a pound of celery provided by those second-rate dealers to Huiwanjia can be sold to Huiwanjia supermarket?"
"Don't tell me, I really know. When the boss came to collect the vegetables, he called people in front of me and told them about their prices. I thought about it, like the recent celery, the purchase price of Huiwanjia Supermarket.
It will definitely not cost more than 2 yuan.”
Qin Changsheng said: "In other words, those two-course vegetable sellers can only make two or three cents per kilogram after being dealt with by one of them?"
"Two or three cents is a lot, and some of them still have some losses, but you have to know how many Huiwanjia supermarkets there are in the entire Jinling City. Many people are vying to be their supermarket suppliers. Every day from Huiwanjia
The vegetables we sell supply most of the people in Jinling City, think about how much money we can make from this?"
The old man shook his head sadly and said: "Well, it's a pity that we farmers can't sell the food and vegetables we work so hard to sell at a high price. Even if they harvest my celery for nine dollars a pound, I'm willing to do it, but they can't even sell it at a high price."
You don’t even want me to earn even 40 cents, I still have to live, my wife is ill in bed, and I have to bear the tuition and fees for my grandson.”
Qin Changsheng said: "In the final analysis, Huiwanjia Supermarket has suppressed the price too harshly."
"Who says it isn't?" The old man sighed and added: "That's why I come to sell vegetables at the entrance of their supermarket. In this way, when those people come to the supermarket to buy vegetables, they will definitely feel that my vegetables are fresh and cheap.
I will buy it.”
"But I can't stay too long. The staff of their supermarket will come out to check on us from time to time. When they see us pushing carts and setting up stalls, they will drive us away. The urban management also always won't let us on the roadside.
Sell vegetables, you say, if we don’t sell vegetables in the city, where can we sell them?”
Normally, no one would talk to the old man about these things, and he would have nowhere to vent his bitterness. Today, Qin Changsheng asked a few more questions, and the old man explained these things clearly and clearly, just like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
At this moment, a security guard suddenly rushed out from the door of the supermarket. From a distance away, he pointed at the old man and yelled: "Old man, why are you so shameless? I just warned you not to enter the supermarket two days ago."
There is a stall selling vegetables outside, why are you here again!"
While cursing, the man took out a swing stick from his waist, flicked it, and strode towards this side majestically.
The old man was so frightened that he trembled all over and hurriedly pushed the tricycle to run away.
Seeing this, Qin Changsheng threw the bundle of celery in his hand into the tricycle and said, "Uncle, don't leave in a hurry. I'll stop this man for you. I'll buy your food later!"
"Young man, be careful, the people in Huiwanjia Supermarket are all on the sidelines."
The old man was a little worried when he heard this.
At this time, Qin Changsheng had already stopped in front of the security guard.
"Get away!"
The other party glared at Qin Changsheng fiercely and shouted.
Qin Changsheng didn't say anything nonsense, he slapped the opponent to the ground, and then returned to the old man calmly.
The old man swallowed his saliva and said with fear: "Young man, you are in big trouble now. Don't buy my food anymore. Leave quickly. Be careful that you won't be able to leave later."
Qin Changsheng took out his wallet from his pocket and took out all the cash in it. The cash was not much, probably only a little over a thousand.
"Don't worry about my affairs. Just take the money and I'll buy your cart of groceries. You can have a hot meal at a nearby breakfast restaurant. I'll have someone pick up the groceries from you later."
"This is too much, we can't use these!"
The old man's eyes widened and he shook his head repeatedly, not daring to accept the money.
"Just accept it."
Qin Changsheng stuffed the money into the old man's pocket and walked towards the supermarket without looking back. When passing by the security guard who was lying on the ground and unable to stand up, he grabbed the man and picked him up, dragging him along.
Let's walk to the supermarket.
The old man was frightened when he saw it. He wanted to follow but didn't dare. He hesitated again and again, so he had to ride the tricycle not far ahead and observe the movement here from a farther place.
As for what Qin Changsheng said, he was reluctant to go to the breakfast shop to eat, and he didn't dare to spend the money Qin Changsheng gave him.
He got up in the dark in the morning, picked these vegetables, removed the weeds and tied them up, and then rode for more than two hours into the city. Even if he sold all the vegetables, he would only be able to sell them for 300 yuan.
Just left and right!
After a cart of vegetables is sold out, he can earn seventy or eighty yuan, and he can already smile secretly!
Where can I use more than a thousand?
Even if someone dares to give it, he doesn’t dare to accept it!
He thought that he must wait for the young man to come out and return the money to him.
But not long after, he saw an off-road vehicle parked in front of him.
Two men who looked a bit like a promiscuous man got out of the car and stared at him.
The old man was startled and said uneasily: "Aren't you allowed to stay here? I'll leave now, I'll leave now."
"Wait a minute, old man, let me ask you, did someone just give you some money to buy your cart of vegetables?"
One of the older ones stopped the old man and asked.
"Ah, that's what happened."
The old man swallowed his saliva and nodded uneasily.
"It's really you. That's great. Why did you hide here? You made me wander around here a few times. It's easy to find a meal."
The middle-aged man smiled, couldn't help but make a few remarks, and then said to his companion: "This is the old man our new eldest brother was talking about. He pushed the tricycle to the side of the car and carried all the vegetables on it."
"Um."
The young man responded, rolled up his sleeves, exposed his tattooed arms, pushed the tricycle in front of the off-road vehicle, and moved the vegetables to the car. When the trunk couldn't fit, he piled them on the back seat, which was so big that it filled the entire car.
Full and full.
The old man stared at this scene blankly, not daring to speak for a long time. When the two of them had emptied the dishes, he came back to his senses, quickly took out the money from his pocket and said: "What, the money that the young man just gave me?"
There are too many, I can’t spend so much money on these dishes..."
Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man said: "That's the food money my elder brother gave you, just keep it."
"But……"
The old man wanted to say something else, but the young man shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Just take what my elder brother gave you. You deserve your luck, old man. You met my elder brother today."
The old man was startled and did not dare to refuse.
The middle-aged man smiled gently and said: "Old man, you go home and rest for the next two days. Don't rush out to buy groceries. I estimate that it won't be long before Huiwanjia Supermarket goes bankrupt. Even if it doesn't go bankrupt, it will be replaced."
Boss, when the time comes, no one will lower the price of your food."
"Really?"
The old man's lips trembled, but he couldn't believe it.
"Who knows, I don't dare to tell you for sure. This is all done by people like my eldest brother. Whether it can be done or not is beyond our control, but I think all the people in Jinling City can do it.
I’m looking forward to the collapse of Huiwan’s supermarket and the collapse of Xiahou’s family. Don’t you think so?”
The old man didn't know what to say, so he could only humbly smile and agree: "Yes, yes."
