Chapter 44 This Man Is Called Xiaoshuai
Chapter 44 This man’s name is Xiaoshuai
In the afternoon of the next day, Ma Liang rode to the graphic printing agency and picked up the KT board for the poster.
But on the way back to his dormitory, he always felt that something was missing. It was his first time setting up a stall and he had no experience in doing business, so he didn't know where he was lacking.
Just then, a small truck loaded with sugar cane caught his attention on the side of the road.
Because there was a big loudspeaker hung on the guardrail of the car, and it kept shouting: "White jade sugar cane, 5 yuan a piece, it's not sweet, no money."
Ma Liang's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he suddenly thought of what he was missing, a big speaker.
As the saying goes, what you sell is what you shout. How can there be less of a loudspeaker, which is a magic tool for shouting? It is better than shouting blindly at the top of one's voice.
When he thought of this, he immediately turned around and rode straight to the hardware store, where he bought a small handheld megaphone that could record, which cost him more than thirty yuan.
Now Ma Liang was even more energetic and immediately went back to the dormitory to start recording.
September 30th arrived in two days, which happened to be Friday. Most of the students had no classes in the afternoon, and the roads in the entire university town were crowded with people.
Some are carrying bags to go out for fun, and some are dragging suitcases to go home.
However, there are still many students who simply visit the small stalls and shops in the university town and enjoy the leisure and happiness of the holiday in advance.
There is no need to wait until National Day, today is a good time to set up a stall.
Ma Liang picked up two boxes of discs and went downstairs and put them on the bicycle. In order to facilitate the transportation of goods, not only the iron shelves were installed on the bicycle, but also the supporting feet were replaced with 28-bar style.
At this time, no one cares about whether it looks good or not, making money is the most important thing.
Ma Liang tied the drawing board frame to the iron frame one by one, and went out on his bicycle.
The next seven days will be the time to test his idea. Whether he can make quick money depends on whether his careful preparations are really what he imagined.
Last night, he specially called Yan Bing to ask for leave. Coincidentally, he also wanted to take his two daughters to Hangzhou during the holiday.
He said that while having fun, he would inspect the workshops and small factories over there.
This saves trouble, otherwise he would be asked to take care of the baby during the seven-day National Day holiday, which would conflict with his plan to make money.
Ma Liang rode his bicycle directly to the farthest second-phase student apartment.
The construction of Songjiang University Town is also carried out in a continuous spread to the surrounding areas, and the time for each university to move in is also different.
Therefore, the first phase of student apartments is in the most central location. Next to the first phase are the second and third phase apartments. Further to the west, there are the fourth and fifth phase apartments.
Students of Tunghai International Studies University live in the second-phase apartments, and a small number of them live in the fifth-phase apartments.
Donghua University is also in the second phase, the University of International Business and Economics and the University of Engineering and Technology all live in the first and third phase apartments, and Lixin School of Accountancy is all in the fourth phase student apartments.
At East China University of Political Science and Law, a small number of students live in the fourth phase, while most of them live in the fifth phase apartment.
In the beginning, the reason for this division was because there were not enough apartments in each school, so everyone mixed in.
Later, when there were more apartments, they were not readjusted. I guess the school leaders also wanted students from each school to strengthen communication and exchange knowledge. In the end, this situation has continued.
Ma Liang did not go to the main commercial street to set up a stall, but came to the door of the second-phase student apartment.
Although the commercial street has a larger flow of people, it is very noisy. Students who are busy shopping may not be willing to stop and take a look.
Selling CDs is not like selling gourmet food, but it is more suitable for students who like to stay at home.
So he ran directly to the door of the second-phase student apartment, found an empty space, parked the car, opened the drawing board stand, and set up the stall.
Although the entrance to the apartment is not as lively as the commercial street, there are also many small vendors.
Those selling clothes, accessories, headphones, small electrical appliances, and snacks such as candied haws, spread out for dozens of meters.
Just because they are afraid that the urban management will drive them away during the day, more stalls will be set up in front of the apartment at night. All kinds of fried rice, fried skewers, meat buns and other food stalls will pop up.
To be honest, Ma Liang was a little nervous when setting up a stall for the first time, after all, he had never done this before.
Fortunately, he prepared the magic tool for setting up a stall in advance - a small handheld shouting device.
Turning on the power of the big speaker, and as soon as the shouting sound came out, the business started immediately, and there was no need for him to shout loudly.
The feeling of social death disappeared instantly, and he was very satisfied with his little cleverness.
When he set up his drawing board, some students passing by stopped to watch.
Because the big poster not only has a familiar European and American blockbuster image, but the copywriting is also very provocative.
"Friends", the ceiling of sitcoms! No one else!
A must-recommend English learning drama series by famous teachers from New Oriental, a pinnacle work on the healing system of friendship and love, a warmth worth rewatching every winter, you deserve it!
"Band of Brothers" is an epic war drama that swept all major awards across the United States.
With shocking images like a movie blockbuster, HBO's most expensive self-produced series, and lovingly directed by actor Tom Hanks, it can be called the TV version of "Saving Private Ryan."
The cruelty of war, the complexity of human nature, and the passion of tough guys are not to be missed.
"Desperate Housewives", the most-watched American drama in 2004, is so real that it makes people fascinated.
Life is not a comedy, nor is it a tragedy. Watch the housewives' chickens, love, cheating, murder...
You will find that life is far more bloody than TV series!
"Star Trek", "Stargate", "Battlestar", science fiction is the most hard-core romance for men!
"CSI", "24", "Lost", spiritual leisure food suitable for people with high IQs!
Four large posters were pasted on the front and back of the two drawing boards, and soon they were surrounded by students.
No one bothered to ask, everyone was immersed in the visual impact of the pictures and the inflammatory brainwashing of the copy. It was the first time that the students saw such a professional vendor selling pirated discs.
Every line of copy seemed to be full of magic, making the students want to swim in the ocean of American dramas immediately.
If this alone wasn't nothing, Ma Liang's stall-setting artifact exerted even greater power.
He did not record repetitive shouts with no technical content like ordinary vendors, but used the explanation routine of Douyin short videos more than ten years later.
"This man's name is Xiaoshuai. Not long ago he was taken to a mysterious organization and came into contact with various supernatural phenomena.
The mysterious Area 51, enigmatic aliens, and mythical special abilities.
While investigating the truth of the world, we also need to decipher the conspiracy of the dark forces.
Infinitely exciting, just in "The X-Files"."
"This woman's name is Xiaomei, and she came alone to New York, a city of lust, feasting, and luxury.
Together with three best friends, we continue to explore love, friendship, and the meaning of life. Of course, there are also stories about applauding for love.
Is it the loss of morality, the distortion of human nature, or becoming a slave to desire?
Please watch "Sex and the City", a fashionable urban masterpiece sought after by countless independent women."
Ma Liang recorded dozens of segments of the opening narration alone and played them on a loop through a loudspeaker.
The gimmicky copywriting on the Internet in later generations, coupled with the visual impact of the posters by Sister Yu Mo, the original artist, instantly exaggerated the atmosphere of American drama culture.
This operation immediately separated me from the ordinary CD vendors.
What about setting up a stall? Since it is a business, it requires the art of doing business.
As the saying goes, love what you do, and Ma Liang's careful preparation was obviously not in vain. In the eyes of the students who were watching, there was only one concept left - professionalism.
After a while, he was drowned in the tide of classmates rushing to buy the CD.
"Boss, give me a set of "Band of Brothers"."
"Handsome, I want Friends and Sex and the City."
"Are you a classmate of Huazheng? Why don't you give me a discount as a senior? I want "Desperate Housewives", "Crime Scene" and "Sex and the City"
What Ma Liang didn't expect was that there weren't enough DVDs of the American drama "Sex and the City" and they were sold out in a short time.
Most of the people who bought this drama were senior students from Dongwai University, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
It’s really about food and sex!
It seems that the senior students also like the "Applause for Love" themed series very much!
Chapter completed!
