The First Affiliated Primary School of Yuzhang University
This was the best primary school in all of Yuzhang. After all, the teachers and parents here were all related personnel of Yuzhang University, so the quality of teaching couldn't be too bad.
Therefore, Yuzhang Primary School was also the primary school with the largest number of primary school students in all of Yuzhang in the 1990s. The entire school accommodated more than 4,300 primary school students.
If one were to ask which place was the busiest in the First Affiliated Primary School of Yuzhang University, the answer wouldn't be the playground, classroom, or even inside the school. It would be the small road outside the school.
This road was less than 300 meters long and 5 meters wide. Even two cars couldn't drive side by side. However, there were more than 20 small shops on this road, and these shops were quite uniform. They all sold snacks, toys, stationery, and so on.
In addition to these serious shops, there were also countless small stalls on the edge of the road, selling things with poles on their shoulders.
In the 1990s, when the reform and opening up was at its peak, it was also the era when vendors were most active. Wherever there was a crowd, countless vendors would be seen. Naturally, the school gate was such a place that everyone fought over.
No matter what era it was, Hua Xia people would rather suffer than their children. Therefore, these children always had some cute pocket money in their hands. Whoever could earn this pocket money would be able to control the world … A stable sum of money in the world.
It was 11 o 'clock in the morning, and the students were still in class. However, the vendors had already started to set up their stalls one after another. As soon as 11: 40, the school would be dismissed, and the war would begin.
It was also at this time that the sharp-eyed stall owner and shop owner immediately noticed two strangers nearby. They were driving an old van and their actions were extremely suspicious.
"Are these guys here to snatch our territory?" These shop owners immediately became vigilant.
The nearby area was a treasure land where everyone would fight for every inch of land. The street was only so long, and there were only so many students. Every time there was a new shop owner, the shop owners' income would decrease. God knows how many tricks these shop owners had secretly put in to stay here. They would never allow newcomers to appear here and compete with them for a job.
Fortunately, these people didn't seem to be here to steal business. They took out two boxes of things from the van and walked into a shop. It seemed like they were here to deliver goods.
"What do you want?" Big Sister Xu looked warily at the two young men in front of her and the two boxes in their hands.
These two boxes were yellow, yellow, and green in color. Who knew what strange things were inside? These people couldn't be scammers, right?
Recently, there were a lot of such rumors on the street. Some young man was holding two boxes of plastic, saying that they were high-tech products from the United States, and that he could earn hundreds of yuan by selling one box. He had cheated many bosses of thousands of yuan of their capital. It was simply abominable and vicious.
"Hello Auntie, we are the sales staff of the Daqian instant noodle factory. This is the elfin crispy noodle snack produced by our factory. It's very delicious! The price is also very discounted. Children like it very much. "A middle-aged man said dryly.
"Daqian instant noodles? Never heard of it. We don't want it! We get our goods from state-owned factories and big brands. You can leave now! "The auntie directly refused.
"A state-owned factory and a big brand?" Someone on the side looked at the goods on the shelf that were sold for a few cents or even a few cents. The packaging was simple plastic bags, and some of them didn't even have packaging. They were directly exposed to the air and showed a trace of a bitter smile.
"Auntie, you misunderstood us! Our Daqian instant noodle factory is registered with the Industry and Commerce Bureau. Our products are all qualified. The quality is excellent, and the taste is also excellent! " The salesman, Xiao Liu, tried his best to persuade her, but the lady boss didn't buy it. She still kept driving them away. Xiao Liu was so anxious that tears almost flowed out of his eyes.
"Sister, our products are passed down from the United States. The children in the United States all eat this when they grow up. This can make a lot of money!" Someone behind finally couldn't stand it anymore and came out with a smile.
"Little comrade, what are you calling me? I'm 50 years old. How can you call me sister?" Boss Xu saw that the person who spoke was a young man with a baby face. He looked cute, and even his expression suddenly became a lot better.
"What! Sister, you look at most 30 years old. You don't look like a 50 year old person at all! "Jia Yapeng exclaimed, which made Sister Xu smile even more happily.
"Little comrade, don't try to bewitch me. No matter how nice your sister's voice is, we can't casually sell your things …" Sister Xu laughed.
"If it's those dirty things, of course, we can't casually sell them. But our products are legitimate goods from the United States. Although the production is in China, all the formulas, processes, and equipment are from the United States. Just this set of production equipment alone, our factory invested 1 million!"
"And it's not RMB, it's 1 million US dollars!" Jia Yapeng's words made Xiao Liu's face turn red. With their factory's broken equipment, let alone 1 million US dollars, even if they sold it to him for 10,000 RMB, he wouldn't want it.
"1 million US dollars!" Sister Xu was shocked. All the RMB she had seen in her life didn't add up to 1 million US dollars, let alone 1 million US dollars. "Brother, how much do you sell your instant noodles for?"
"Sister, it's not instant noodles, it's called crispy noodle snacks! Instant noodles are something that's a few hundred years out of date. It's something that people in the United States don't eat. Now, people in the United States eat crispy noodle snacks like this! " Jia Yapeng said with a look of disdain. "In the United States, crispy noodle snacks are sold for at least 10 RMB, but this is Hua Xia. Our boss said that we can't cheat our compatriots, so it's only 50 cents a pack! This is definitely a loss price! "
"50 cents a pack, that's really cheap!" Sister Xu nodded.
"Then sister, how about you take two boxes and sell them here?" Jia Yapeng said expectantly.
"No!" In the end, Jia Yapeng hit a hard rock again. Sister Xu, who had been all smiles just now, immediately refused again.
"Why?" Jia Yapeng didn't understand.
"Little comrade, since you're so honest, I'll tell you the truth. For people in the United States, 50 cents a pack is indeed cheap, but for poor people like us, especially the children in school, 50 cents a pack is probably their food expenses for a day. How can they afford this stuff? "
"Do you know what I sell the best here? It's the ice packs that cost 5 cents a pack and the big bubble gum that costs 10 cents for 3 pieces. If you sell crispy noodle snacks for 50 cents a pack, I'm afraid that I won't be able to sell them even if I sell them for a year. In the end, I'll lose everything! "
Sister Xu shook her head and said, "If you sell them to students for 50 cents a pack, then at my place, the cheapest purchase price is 30 cents a pack. Your 20 packs cost me 6 dollars. How many ice packs and big bubble gum do I have to sell to earn 6 dollars?"
It was obvious that Sister Xu was telling the truth. Of course, no small stall vendor would have the courage to buy so many instant noodles directly.
"Small factory, why don't we just forget about it and sell it back to the previous price?" Xiao Liu had been rejected countless times in the past few days and was already exhausted. Thus, he took the opportunity to pull Jia Yapeng's arm and persuade him.
"No!" Jia Yapeng refused without thinking. He looked at Sister Xu, then at Xiao Liu, and finally at his crispy noodle snacks. Finally, he said to Sister Xu, "Sister Xu, I don't want money. You don't have to pay a cent. How about I give you these two boxes of instant noodles for free?"
"What?" Sister Xu and Xiao Liu exclaimed at the same time.
