Chapter 242: "Sweet Honey"
"Ouch! It turns out that selling things is so easy!"
Si'er and Wu'er were encouraged and thought that if their little cousin could sell "backpacks", they should be able to do the same. They also picked up a few and imitated Huang Han and started shouting.
Before six o'clock in the evening, all sixty "backpacks" we brought were sold out.
Huang Han took advantage of the fact that the First Department Store was open and went to buy a guitar for seventy-six yuan. This guitar was a mid-range product because the cheapest one only cost more than forty yuan.
In the past six months, I have been taking turns to practice on Chengwenge and Qian Aiguo's guitar, which is very inconvenient. This time Huang Han came to Shanghai not only to sell his "backpack", but also planned to buy a guitar, an old piano, and a cassette player.
We made an appointment to have dinner at my aunt's house in the evening. When seven people arrived, my aunt, uncle and two sisters had already prepared a table of dishes and were waiting for them.
At the dinner table, Huang Han generously handed three big unity cards to Si'er and Wu'er, saying
"Fourth sister, fifth sister, you two sold ten 'backpacks' today. I will settle the settlement for you based on the wholesale price of twelve yuan. You should earn three yuan each, and the thirty yuan should be yours."
It’s worth it.”
"Ah? We went to help without asking for money!"
"Haha, my family made money after selling the 'backpack'! It's yours to take these, and I thought you could sell more tomorrow!"
San'er was still an apprentice, earning only thirty yuan a month as an apprentice's salary. At this time, he exclaimed
"You two earned me a month's salary in just half a day! I have a day off tomorrow, so I'm going to try it out. Auntie, how much do you still have in your 'backpack'?"
Zhang Fangfen was still very nervous at first, but now she was completely different.
The reason is very simple. I sold sixty of them in just one afternoon. I will go there early tomorrow. Thousands of people will come and go there. I am sure that I will sell more than a hundred. I am afraid that the "backpack" I brought will last for five or six days.
It can be sold out.
Seeing that San'er also wanted to help sell them, Zhang Fangfen happily said, "There are still hundreds of them, and they are all stored in the hotel. You can take a few and follow us to try them out tomorrow!"
When Huang Jinlan saw Si'er and Wu'er looking at the thirty yuan, she glared and said, "How can I take the money to do this for my aunt? Huang Han, put the money away!"
Huang Han quickly said, "No! Aunt, you must not do this. If the sisters don't help sell, my mother and I will have to go to the street to find help, and we will have to give the money, and we may be cheated by others!"
"
"Going to look for someone on the street? As you can imagine, there are some bad guys out there. If you give them your bag, you may never find anyone again!"
"Yes! We need help anyway, and we pay three yuan each. It's great if the sisters are willing to help!"
"Alas! I don't know what you mean?" Huang Jinlan turned to her daughters and said, "Third aunt is deliberately trying to make some extra money for you! You should have some snacks when you go out on the streets tomorrow, and be careful of thieves."
"Watch out for thieves?" Huang Han has already arranged for Chengwen Pavilion to pay attention. How many people are wandering around in Shili Foreign Market? It is important to take precautions before they happen.
The next day, several people were more confident.
Because no one came to arrest the vendors yesterday, everyone took a few to sell to the crowds of people going north and south today.
The method adopted yesterday was roughly equivalent to "enter the village quietly, and don't let anyone shoot you."
Facts have proved that no one is arresting small traders and hawkers on Nanjing Road these days. It may be that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has not yet passed, and the spirit of the New Year is still there, so the control is relatively loose.
This is also a Chinese characteristic. Under normal circumstances, during the Chinese New Year, the streets are full of small merchants and hawkers, and they are basically ignored. When the lights are turned off on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, most of them disappear.
Today, Huang Han is more courageous. Of course, he must gather popularity to try to sell more and sell faster.
At this time, there was no overpass at the four-way intersection of the No. 1 Department Store in Shanghai. Huang Han and Cheng Wenge played guitar and sang "Sweet Honey" on the west side.
Huang Han heard this song from the radio two months ago and confirmed that it was played by the provincial radio station.
That’s why I wrote down the lyrics and music to teach Cheng Wenge and Qian Aiguo how to play and sing. I have been practicing for more than a month and am quite proficient.
This song is very familiar to people in Shanghai, and it should be the most popular at the moment. Huang Han played and sang it near the No. 1 Department Store where there was a constant flow of people, which certainly attracted too many people to stop.
Two fashionable boys, carrying beautiful "backpacks", playing guitar and singing "Sweet Honey" are really cool. The publicity effect is unparalleled.
"Sweet honey, you smile so sweetly, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze, blooming in the spring breeze. Where, where have I seen you..."
There is no doubt about the power of classic songs. Cheng Wenge is now much more experienced. No matter how many people there are, he will not get nervous when playing and singing. He and Huang Han sang together very "highly"!
The publicity was so effective that in less than ten minutes, hundreds of people gathered around the place.
After singing the song, Huang Han put down his guitar, picked up his "backpack" and said loudly
"Uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters, the high-quality 'backpacks' that are exported to domestic sales are sold cheaply. They cost fifteen yuan each. The quantity is not much. If you buy them, you will make a profit."
"Ah? So you are selling things! This is a good idea!"
"What is a 'backpack'? I want to take one and have a look."
"Those two kids are carrying it, it looks very fashionable!"
"Is it really exporting to domestic sales?"
"I don't know, he looks really fashionable!"
"Two little brothers, sing, why don't you sing? You sing beautifully!"
"Brothers, we are here to buy bags. We have to finish singing and get down to business!"
"Comrades, that bag is pretty good. If you want to buy it, hurry up!"
"Son, what if there is something wrong with the quality of this package?"
"Auntie, you are right to ask. You bought it home and found that the quality is not good. We will still be here tomorrow. Not only will you return it, but we will also compensate you five yuan for transportation expenses."
The crowd burst into laughter, "Haha, if you don't need five yuan for transportation, three or four cents is enough."
"Uncle, aunty, don't laugh. We dare to promise this because we have great trust in the quality of the 'backpack'."
"Ha! You're awesome. Just say this to you, I'll take one!"
"I'll buy one too. My kids will start school in a few days, and one is clamoring for a new schoolbag!"
"Yes! School is about to start, and I need to buy schoolbags for my children."
"Mom, I don't want to go to the department store anymore. I want that kind of 'backpack'."
"Think about it, don't buy it and worry about this or that."
"No, no, that big boy is carrying it on his back, he's so handsome!"
A young beauty said to her companion, "Ara, please don't go to the department store to buy schoolbags, okay?"
"Don't you look down on street vendors at all?"
"That's different. Have you ever seen a street vendor playing guitar and singing "Sweet Honey"?"
"What's the difference? Ala thinks it's because Nong looks at that big guy and he's handsome."
"That kid is quite fashionable. I wonder if he is as old as Ala?"
"How about I ask later? I don't know where he is from. Has he started high school?"
"It would be great if you could ask about his school."
"Pull it down, do you have the nerve to ask me?"
"If you are brave, can you help me and ask?"
"Don't be embarrassed, Allah!"
"Go, go, go, it's useless!"

For the next fourteen days, we continued to sleep and not go out for the sake of the country. My family did not use the pass issued by the neighborhood committee to go out every two days. Book friends, if you persist, the situation seems to be getting better!
