Li He asked Chen Shuo, "Are you on the list?"
Li He asked even though he already knew the answer. If he had not fanned his wings too much, Chen Shuo would have gone abroad this year.
Chen Shuo burst into laughter. "I know, I know. I feel like my heart can't stop beating. If you don't believe me, feel it. Hahaha!"
Li He shook off Chen Shuo's hand in disgust. "Hurry up and treat us. Stop being so cocky. "
Chen Shuo hurriedly covered his mouth. "You don't understand this feeling. I'm just happy. I feel like I'm flying."
Li He pressed Chen Shuo back to his seat. "How many people in the class are going and when? I'll arrange it. Let's get together."
"There are only seven people in two classes. We'll be leaving in a few days. We can make it in time for the start of school in January. The Americans are willful. They don't care if the Chinese celebrate the New Year."
Li He was too lazy to argue. He thought to himself that if Chen Shuo went to Yale, he would see if the school would start in September. However, different universities were different. Some required to go to the language preparatory class in advance.
Looking at Chen Shuo's somewhat joyful appearance, of course he understood. In this era, going abroad was equivalent to a chicken becoming a phoenix.
This included many people who had lived their whole lives in a muddle. Instead, they became more and more confused as they aged. Movies, television, magazines, and the colorful world were everywhere. At the same time, there were more and more ten-thousand-yuan households outside, and the story of the rich man spread everywhere.
Not only was the outside world in turmoil, but the campus was also not so quiet. Everyone was racking their brains to go abroad, but it was not that easy. At least, it was not that easy now.
If Li He were to sum it up, Li He would say that the early eighties were the era of the circulation of small commodities and the era of the manufacturing industry. The early nineties were the era of the knowledge economy. Finally, with the addition of intellectuals, it represented the end of the era of the nouveau riche, which was dominated by the self-employed and laid-off workers.
Li He wondered if he was too timid. The four brothers of the Liu family might be vigorously breeding and selling feed in Sichuan at this time. Otherwise, they would be the first richest man in the country.
As the weather got colder and colder, the holiday was getting closer and closer.
Li He took the time to go to the train station to buy a train ticket. However, the closer it was to the day of his return, the more anxious he became.
When he passed by the post office, he sent a telegram back to Su Ming. There were only a few words: "Very good, start work immediately."
Li He received the tape sent by Su Ming and was very satisfied. The noise reduction was done very well. Except for the rough packaging, it was no different from the original.
When they arrived at Li Aijun's shop, Li Aijun couldn't wait to let Li He try the shoes he made.
Li Aijun had made three designs, but none of them were approved by Li He. He was a little disappointed.
The location of the newly opened shoe shop was average. Usually, the door would be closed. Li Aijun would be working inside alone, but the shop was very clean. There wasn't a single speck of dirt on the table, and even the floor under his feet was clean.
Even the pieces of thread and skin that had been cut off were piled up neatly.
Li He said, "Why did you clean it up so well? It's even cleaner than a restaurant."
"That's because of my mother. She said that doing business can't be sloppy. Hurry up and tell me how this pair is. I made them according to the blueprint you gave me. "
As a science and technology nerd, drawing was the most basic skill for Li He. However, as the saying goes, different professions make different worlds. He drew the shoes according to the popular styles of shoes he had seen in the past, but when it was actually made, it was very different.
Li He walked a few steps carefully. Looking at Li Aijun's nervous expression, he smiled and said, "That's it. You can make the women's shoes like this too. I guarantee that you won't have to worry about selling them."
"Then, can I sell them for 10 yuan?"
Li He looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot. He asked, "How much does the department store sell for?"
"The department store doesn't have leather and cotton shoes. They are all leather shoes, and they are all 12 to 20 yuan."
"You think your shoes are worse than those from the factory?"
Li Aijun said, "That's impossible. They're definitely better than theirs. They're trying to fool people with their glue. "
"18 yuan, no bargaining!! I won't sell it for less than this price. "
Li Aijun was anxious, "Who would buy it if it's so expensive?!"
"Of course. If it's cheap, everyone will buy it. Even if the order is booked until next year, you won't be able to earn much. Just listen to me. "
"Then, I'll try. No, I'll sell it for a cheaper price. "
"What do you mean try? This is the price. I'll wear this pair. Hurry up and I guarantee that your hands will cramp up from counting money. "The new leather shoes felt very warm on his feet. Li He couldn't bear to take them off.
Li He was right. On the day that Li Aijun opened the store, he hung a sign that said, "Leather and cotton shoes for sale." Leather and cotton shoes were easy to understand. They were just leather shoes with cotton inside.
When Li Aijun placed the 10 pairs of men's shoes and 5 pairs of women's shoes in the store, there were people who tried them on the spot. They couldn't bear to take them off, so they gritted their teeth and paid for them on the spot.
Some people even tried to bargain on the spot, but the shoes were bought by someone else in the blink of an eye.
Some people didn't bring money. When they went back to withdraw money, the shoes were sold out.
Someone was unhappy on the spot. "You opened a shoe store, but you ran out of shoes? Aren't you trying to fool people?"
Li Aijun was still young and had never made shoes before.
At this moment, Li Aijun's mother stood out. After all, the older, the wiser. She said calmly, "Our shoes are all made by hand. Everyone here is an experienced craftsman. Look, it's so hard to knead the leather. We have to apply glue, dry it, stick the bottom, press it, and draw the last. Which one of these processes is simple? The machines in the factory can't compare. Take a look and see if we're the only one selling this kind of shoes in Beijing. If you really want it, just leave your measurements and schedule a time. When we're done, you can come and collect it. I guarantee that you'll be able to wear new shoes before the Lunar New Year. "
Just like that, Li Aijun's whole family went to work. They divided the work and made the shoes according to the division of labor. At first, there were relatives who came to help.
In the end, Li Aijun didn't want them to help for free. So, he followed Li He's suggestion and divided the work according to the division of labor.
Just like that, not only did Li Aijun earn money, but the neighbors also had a good New Year.
Li Aijun counted the thick stack of money. He could feel the corners of his eyes getting wet.
Li Aijun's father said, "Without Li He, you wouldn't be able to do it. You can't lose out on etiquette."
Li Aijun asked Li Xiaomei to ride a tricycle and give a big radio to Li He. At the same time, he returned the money he borrowed to Li He.
Li Aijun said, "Nowadays, young people like this thing. I spent a lot of effort to get a ticket."
Li He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He could only blame himself for hiding it too well. "Don't you know what I used to do? I used to sell radios. I can't lack this thing. There's no one in Beijing who can do better than me!! "
Li Aijun was stunned.
