This method, Ji Shuqin had thought about for a long time. To secure these goods, he really racked his brains, but the profit was also very substantial.
If everything could be sold, even after deducting the cost of transportation to Yangcheng, he could still make three to four hundred yuan.
Three to four hundred yuan, that was no small sum; at the paper factory, he might not even make that much in a whole year.
If, if he sold even more, then it wouldn’t just be three or four hundred.
All the way there, every time Ji Shuqin thought about this, he felt his blood boil, as if he were a seventeen or eighteen year old lad again, filled with vigor.
"Smart." Xu Nian’an tested each radio, making sure there were no problems, he said, "Shuqin brother, I think this is a viable business."
Ji Shuqin nodded excitedly and said, "I also think it’s viable, but I don’t have the capital. Nian’an, do you want to join me in doing this?"
Xu Nian’an gave him a look and said, "I’ll just buy the stock from you."
He paused for a moment, then reminded him, "You could discuss this with Ji Lin, your elder uncle."
Elder Uncle Ji Lin had experience in business, and if managed well, this business would definitely make a lot of money in the future.
"Nian’an, you’re not going to do it with me?" Ji Shuqin always felt somewhat indebted to Xu Nian’an; if it weren’t for Xu Nian’an, he wouldn’t know what to do with those two thousand yuan.
"You’ve seen it yourself, just managing this boutique keeps me busy enough. If I continue, are you sure I’ll have time to do the radio business with you?" Xu Nian’an raised his eyebrows and asked in return. He knew his own capabilities very well; managing this one boutique was hard enough. If he were to do the radio business as well, he definitely couldn’t manage.
He understood very well the principle of not biting off more than he could chew.
"Then fine, in the future when I buy goods, I’ll give them to you at cost price."
No sooner had Ji Shuqin finished speaking than Xu Nian’an shook his head and said, "We should keep our accounts separate. How can you not make a penny on the goods you’ve carried all the way back from Yangcheng?"
After a moment’s thought, Ji Shuqin said, "Then we’ll add five yuan per unit."
Xu Nian’an handed over the money directly and told Ji Shuqin, "We’ll add ten yuan per unit. I can still make quite a bit. I hope to receive more support from Boss Ji in the future."
"Nian’an, you’re the real boss here." Ji Shuqin was reluctant to accept, but in the end, Xu Nian’an insisted, saying it was what he deserved for the hard work of sourcing goods from Yangcheng and that it wasn’t easy.
After Ji Shuqin went to Yangcheng and repaid the two hundred yuan, and found a way of doing business, he felt that Xu Nian’an was his lucky star. Without Xu Nian’an, how could he have thought of going to Yangcheng?
With the money in hand, Ji Shuqin made a special trip home.
"Ji Shuqin, you’ve been taking days off, and the factory manager said if you don’t go to work, they’ll let you go."
"Where have you been these days?"
"Your wife and children still need to eat, you can’t just wander around aimlessly every day. Let me tell you, Shuxue isn’t married yet; the family doesn’t have money to give you."
Upon seeing Ji Shuqin, Cai Jianhong immediately started nagging about this. She was so angry that her eyes bulged out, saying if he lost his job, their whole family would end up starving.
"Mom, I haven’t been wandering aimlessly."
Ji Shuqin set the radio down on the countertop.
Right away, Cai Jianhong’s brows furrowed as she said, "Ji Shuqin, do you have so much money you don’t know where to spend it?"
Cai Jianhong raised her hand and gave him a thump on the head, saying, "Something that costs dozens of yuan, which you can neither eat nor drink, why did you buy it?"
