Chapter 67 Add money

Liu Changchun looked at Chen Qiang with confusion, then asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Help others sell milk powder and make some extra money." Chen Qiang pointed to the milk powder jar in his hand and said with a smile.

"Do you need money?" Liu Changchun seemed confused.

Chen Qiang nodded: "Look, I only wore an ordinary athlete during the competition. This is not OK. I have to save money to buy some nails and running shoes!"

"It's rare for you to be like this in the pass." Liu Changchun shook his head slightly and said.

"I am different from others. I am not a rich young man. I am very poor. If I hadn't come to Hangzhou for a competition, I should have lived on the road by car now." Chen Qiang replied with a smile.

"You are really good at joking." Liu Changchun said casually.

"I'm not kidding, what I'm saying is true." Chen Qiang briefly introduced his experience to Liu Changchun.

After learning about Chen Qiang’s experience, Liu Changchun widened his eyes: “Are you really a coachman?”

"Everyone from the Shanghai team knows it." Chen Qiang answered.

Liu Changchun looked incredible. The next second, his eyes when he looked at Chen Qiang were filled with admiration.

As a professional athlete, Liu Changchun certainly knew that eating and drinking well in sports was good, and at least he was nutritious enough. He could not be an athlete without money.

At the same time, Liu Changchun also knew that it was so difficult for a poor coach like Chen Qiang to reach the level of 11 seconds in 100 meters!

At this moment, Liu Changchun suddenly felt that he was very lucky compared to Chen Qiang.

Liu Changchun's ancestral home is Shandong, so his ancestors went to the Northeast to travel to Guandong. Although he was not the eldest son of a wealthy family, he could eat enough and afford to go to school when he was young.

In theory, Liu Changchun's family cannot support an athlete, but the Northeastern king Zhang Dashuai was willing to spend money on education. Liu Changchun was also a beneficiary. He not only had free food and accommodation at Northeastern University, but also had dozens of ocean allowances per month. Historically, Liu Changchun went to Los Angeles to participate in the Olympics without funds, and he also relied on private donations by Zhang Shaoshuai.

There are many sponsored athletes like Liu Changchun in the Northeast, such as Yu Xiwei, the "Dalian Iron Foot" who is also one of the sponsored athletes.

And within the pass, athletes would not have such good luck. They would not have food and accommodation and no allowances. If they were not very rich at home, they would not be able to train athletes at all.

...

In the evening, all the tourists had dispersed and the merchants had already collected stalls. Chen Qiang's sales work was over for one day.

Chen Qiang stretched and was about to leave, but saw someone walking towards him not far away.

Chen Qiang looked closely and saw that this person was Zhuge shopkeeper who sold the "Zhuge Dali Pills".

Manager Zhuge was carrying a cardboard box in his hand, with red paper sticking on it, which looked like something like snacks. When he saw Chen Qiang, he immediately took a few steps and shouted: "Jin Chen, please stay!"

The shopkeeper Zhuge walked to Chen Qiang with a smile, handed the snacks on it, and said, "Chen Jianjiang, I am really sorry for the daytime things. It's because I was wrong. I misunderstood you. I'll come to apologize to you."

As the saying goes, "Not slapping people with smiley faces, since the shopkeeper Zhuge has a snack box to apologize, Chen Qiang cannot continue to pursue the matters during the day."

Seeing Chen Qiang take the snack box, he could also reveal a signal of reconciliation. Zhuge Shopkeeper smiled even more. He asked: "Chen Jianjiang, I want to ask you about something. How much does this Baohua milk powder cost to invite you?"

"Fifteen yuan a day." Chen Qiang replied.

"That's right." Zhuge's shopkeeper rolled his eyes and continued, "I don't know if Chen Jian is interested in the small shop. If Chen Jian is willing to condescend to the small shop, the small shop can give you 30 yuan a day to express your feelings."

"Thirty yuan a day?" Chen Qiang did not agree immediately, but asked, "I remember your store sells medicinal materials, right?"

"Indeed, the shop sells medicine. The most important product sold by the shop is Zhuge Dali Pills. This Zhuge Dali Pills is a recipe passed down from me and has been passed down for thousands of years." Zhuge Zhangguan said.

Chen Qiang nodded. In this era, selling medicines is either inherited from the ancestral formula or imported Western medicines. Whether it is true or false, anyway, without these two signs, I feel embarrassed to open a pharmacy.

The boss Zhuge continued to explain: "I'm not sure about it. I'm a little bit more surnamed Zhuge. My ancestor was Zhuge Kongming of the Three Kingdoms period. This Zhuge Dali Pill was developed by his ancestor Zhuge Kongming. Taking this pill regularly can not only strengthen the body, but also prolong life. There is absolutely no problem in living in his seventies or eighties!"

"Haha..." Chen Qiang laughed dryly. He wanted to tell the boss Zhuge that Zhuge Liang died after only living in his fifties.

Besides, Zhuge Liang made a living by his brain, not by his body. What kind of Zhuge Dali Pills would he study? And how could he be so vulgar as "Dalli Pills"? Could it be that Zhuge Liang had such a vulgar name?

The shopkeeper Zhuge's head was kicked by a donkey. If you sell Dali Pills, you should sell Dali Pills. You have to have something to do with Zhuge Liang. You can call Wu Erlang Dali Pills and Lu Zhishen Dali Pills. They are all more down-to-earth than Zhuge Dali Pills.

When Chen Qiang heard Zhuge Liang, he knew that this Zhuge Daliwan must be a scam, so even though Zhuge's shopkeeper offered Rixin, Chen Qiang refused him.

"Jin Chen, I hope you will consider it again. If you want to come to the shop, the shop will be welcome at any time. I won't disturb Chen Jian. "Jin Zhuge bowed to Chen Qiang, then turned around and left.

Just as the shopkeeper Zhuge walked over, another man in a jacket came over in the distance. Chen Qiang saw that the man looked familiar and was also the shopkeeper who opened a nearby store.

"Chen Jianjiang! In the future, Jia Yougui, the store has run a kind of brain replenishment fluid. I want to ask Chen Jian to help promote it in the store..."

...

After Zhuge's shopkeeper, the shopkeepers of three stores found Chen Qiang, hoping to invite Chen Qiang to come over and advertise their products.

The businessmen are very smart and know the role of the National Games Championship, but the other National Games Championships are rich children, and the businessmen can't invite them at all, so they started to think about Chen Qiang, hoping to dig up Chen Qiang directly.

The merchants who came to poach the poachers also offered higher prices, and one of them even gave a salary of 40 yuan a day.

However, Chen Qiang did not agree to them, because these high-paying poachers were not serious products, such as brain-tonifying fluid and Dali pills, were all health products that fool people. If Chen Qiang promoted it for them, wouldn’t it harm the common people!

The reason why these health products sell health products can poach people with high salaries is that their products are extremely profitable. They are all deceptive things, and they can't kill people. This is more than just a huge profit, and it can be regarded as a huge profit without capital.

In comparison, although milk powder is also very expensive and has a high profit, it is at least not a scam. Chinese people in this era are generally malnourished. If they can drink milk powder frequently, they can indeed supplement their body nutrition, strengthen their bodies and improve their immunity.

Chen Qiang is at ease when selling milk powder, but if he sells those deceptive health products, Chen Qiang will be really uneasy.

...

The meeting between Chen Qiang and several shopkeepers was not hidden from Manager Hu.

After Manager Hu learned the news, he immediately guessed that these people were all here to poach.

Early the next morning, he found Chen Qiang and raised his salary to thirty yuan a day.

The boss was willing to take the initiative to raise the salary, but Chen Qiang had no reason to refuse. Although this was less than the ones who sold health products, Chen Qiang could make this money with peace of mind.

Chen Qiang even felt that he really went to thank the shopkeeper Zhuge. His trouble during the day actually confirmed Chen Qiang's identity as champion, and also attracted the attention of other shopkeepers.

If there were no peers to poach, Manager Hu probably wouldn't have given Chen Qiang a salary increase.
