Chapter 311 Give You a Discount
The next morning, He Daqing took books and newspapers and set up a small stall on the street corner. He arranged the books and newspapers neatly and carefully arranged the stall, hoping to attract passers-by.
However, the business was not ideal on the first day. Most of the passers-by hurried by, and only a few curious children flipped through the books and left soon.
"Hey, what kind of crap are you selling?" A young man came over and laughed, "Who still reads these old books and newspapers nowadays?"
He Daqing looked up at him and said calmly: "Although these books and newspapers are old, knowledge is eternal. Perhaps someone will need them."
The young man sneered, "You'd better save your energy and go home quickly instead of embarrassing yourself here."
He Daqing ignored him and continued to organize his stall. Although he felt a little disappointed, he was not discouraged. He knew that it was always difficult at the beginning, but as long as he persisted, there would be a turnaround.
In the following days, He Daqing continued to set up a stall on the street corner. Although many people still mocked him, he always kept a smile and patience. Slowly, some elderly people and students began to patronize his stall and buy some books and newspapers.
One day, a middle-aged man stopped in front of the stall and looked through the books that He Daqing had displayed. He picked up a book and asked, "How much is this copy of Dream of the Red Chamber?"
He Daqing smiled and replied, "This book is fifty cents. If you are interested, I can give you a lower price."
The middle-aged man nodded, "Okay, I want it."
He Daqing took the money and handed over the book, his heart filled with joy. This was the first time he successfully sold a book, and although the amount was not large, it meant a lot to him.
"Thank you for your support. If you need any other books, please tell me and I will try my best to help you find them." He Daqing said sincerely.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Good job, young man. Keep it up."
As time went by, He Daqing's stall gradually became famous. More and more people began to notice him, and some even came to him to buy books. Although the income was not much, He Daqing felt fulfilled and satisfied.
One evening, He Daqing was packing up his stall when a little girl ran over with a few old books in her hands. "Brother, I want to buy these books, but I only have this much money." She opened her palm, which contained only a few cents.
He Daqing looked at the little girl and felt warm in his heart. "It's okay. These books are for you. Go back and read them carefully and study hard."
The little girl happily took the book and thanked him sweetly, "Thank you, brother!"
Watching the little girl running away, He Daqing felt a satisfaction he had never felt before. He knew that he was not only selling books, but also delivering knowledge and hope.
In the following days, He Daqing continued to set up his stall. Although life was hard, he was full of hope and motivation. He believed that as long as he persevered, his life would get better and better. The neighbors in the courtyard also looked at him with admiration and praised his efforts and perseverance.
One evening, He Daqing came home and his mother handed him a bowl of hot soup. "Daqing, how was your business today?"
He Daqing took a sip of soup and said with a smile: "Not bad, I sold a few books."
The mother nodded with satisfaction, "Daqing, you are really my pride."
He Daqing's book and newspaper stand gradually became popular. He managed it carefully, and more and more old customers began to rely on the books and newspapers he provided. One morning, when He Daqing was about to open the stand, a middle-aged man in a suit came over.
"Young man, do you have any new books?" asked the middle-aged man.
He Daqing smiled and replied, "Sir, what kind of books are you looking for? I have some novels and magazines that are popular recently."
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "I want to find some economic books, preferably with practical operation instructions."
He Daqing was stunned for a moment. He usually paid attention to literature books, and didn't know much about economic books. "Sorry, sir, I don't have such a book here at the moment, but I can help you keep an eye out for it and let you know as soon as I find it."
The middle-aged man nodded and left a contact number. "Okay, thank you for your help. If I find it, I will buy a few copies."
He Daqing had an idea and began to think about how to expand his business scope. He decided to go to several second-hand bookstores and scrap collection stations to find more kinds of books. A few days later, he really found a few economic books and quickly contacted the middle-aged man.
The man came to the stall again, flipped through the books that He Daqing had found, and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, I want all these books."
This transaction made He Daqing a lot of money. He looked at the money in his hand, and his heart was filled with excitement and satisfaction. Although this was just a small beginning, it was an important step towards success for him.
When he got home in the evening, He Daqing couldn't wait to tell his mother the good news, "Mom, I sold a lot of books today and made a lot of money!"
After hearing this, the mother smiled with relief, "Daqing, that's great. Your hard work has finally paid off."
Holding the money in his hand, He Daqing felt unprecedented confidence and hope. He decided to use part of the money to purchase goods and expand the scale of his stall, and save the rest for emergencies.
The next day, He Daqing got up early and bought some new books and magazines. The variety of books on the stall became richer, attracting more customers. He Daqing was very busy, but his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment.
One day, a young man came to the stall, looked through a novel and asked, "How much is this book?"
He Daqing smiled and replied, "This novel is fifty cents. If you like it, I can give it to you at a lower price."
The young man nodded, "Okay, I'll take it." He took out the money and handed it to He Daqing. After taking the book, he asked, "Do you have any science and technology magazines here? I'm more interested in those."
He Daqing made note of this request and agreed, "Yes, I will keep an eye out for you and let you know when I find it."
As customer demand increased, He Daqing's stall gradually expanded. He not only sold books and newspapers, but also provided subscription services. Whenever a customer made a request, he would try his best to meet it.
One evening, He Daqing was busy at his stall when a familiar figure appeared in front of him. It was the young man who had laughed at him.
"Hey, Daqing, are you still setting up a stall here?" the young man said with a smile.
He Daqing nodded and said, "Yes, business is pretty good."
The young man scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I also have some books I want to sell to you. I wonder if you will accept them?"
