A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

After comprehensive consideration, Gu Qinghuan priced the Yujie soap at: retail price 20 cents a piece, wholesale price 15 cents.

Of course, this wholesale price refers to a one-time payment of more than one hundred yuan.

If you pay one thousand dollars or more at one time, the price can be negotiated.

Xu Huainian and his wife were completely clueless about the market and just listened to Gu Qinghuan, who was an educated man and knew much more than them.

Gu Qinghuan feels much more relaxed now that he is no longer a class teacher, and can do his own things well on weekends.

I recently received letters from Gu Lanting and Xu Huaian.

Lanting's letter said that Huaqing University had established an amateur university with ten majors, including general machinery, general electrical engineering, automation, automobile maintenance, metallographic heat treatment, welding, forging, foundry, chemical equipment and principles, and environmental protection.

We are now enrolling students. The course lasts for half a year, one year or two years, with students studying for two evenings and one afternoon per week.

The students are recruited through voluntary registration, public recommendation, approval by the leaders of the unit and consent by the school. It is mainly aimed at employees in service and is a supplementary learning program that does not affect their work.

Gu Lanting will officially graduate in a while. While working, he wants to enroll in an amateur college to learn more.

This letter was mainly to inquire about Gu Qinghuan's opinion.

Gu Qinghuan knew that he was anxious and wanted to shoulder the burden of the family as soon as possible.

So I wrote back to tell him that it is always a good idea to learn more things. As long as it does not affect his life, he can learn whatever he wants. Learning is a free thing.

When I sent the beef over before, Zhang Zheng wrote to me to express his gratitude and said that he had already arranged a job for Lanting.

Gu Qinghuan was not too worried about him.

Ming Ruxue's parents have already paved the way for her.

Gu Qinghuan only needs to worry about herself now.

Xu Huaian's letter brought good news.

He was recommended by the organization to study at Huaqing University, which was not an amateur university but a workers, peasants and soldiers university.

Although it was for workers, peasants and soldiers, it was also the best university in the country.

This is great.

When Gu Qinghuan said she wanted to go to university, she could clearly see that Xu Huaian was feeling very uneasy and worried.

He was worried that the gap between them was getting bigger and bigger.

Although there is a difference between those who come from a worker-peasant-soldier background and those who come from a regular university, they are still college students, aren't they?

Gu Qinghuan was very happy that he had such an opportunity. It was obviously unrealistic for Xu Huaian to take the college entrance examination with him again. This was the best arrangement.

In fact, it was not accidental that Xu Huaian got this opportunity. When he learned that he could study at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, he was ecstatic.

In order to narrow the gap between himself and Gu Qinghuan, he almost fought for this opportunity with his life.

There are relatively more quotas for workers, peasants and soldiers, with one person out of every hundred able to join.

If you want to get the recommendation of your superior, you must have strong personal abilities, not only in martial arts but also in literary skills.

The literary competition is a cultural assessment, and people with a poor foundation will naturally not be selected.

Xu Huaian hadn't touched a book for many years and was completely clueless, but he had perseverance and determination.

With only five days of preparation time, he read and reviewed almost day and night. When he was hungry, he ate cold steamed buns. When he was too sleepy, he drank a sip of the spiritual spring water prepared for him by Gu Qinghuan.

I endured five days and five nights like this and finally reviewed some of the key knowledge I learned in junior high and high school.

After the exam, he collapsed right down on his seat and was carried out by someone.

Of course, the result was that he won the first place in both literary and martial arts competitions, which was well deserved, and he got the recommendation spot without any suspense.

Other comrades asked him why he worked so hard, when it was obvious that he should have been selected even if he didn't work so hard.

Xu Huaian said: "What I want is not "should", "probably", "maybe" to be selected, what I want is 100%, so I must also give 100% effort."

He doesn't allow himself to make any mistakes.

His comrades all said he was a ruthless man.

He chose to hide all the hardships in the process in his heart and did not tell Gu Qinghuan.

General Zhuo has formed six special operations teams, and Xu Huaian is now the team leader. His usual task is to train the special operations teams' team combat capabilities, as well as some field survival and combat skills.

It just so happened that after this busy period, he didn’t have any important tasks anymore.

He can take advantage of the time he spends at university to rest for a while. When there is an important task that needs him, the organization will naturally make the arrangements.

Gu Qinghuan wrote back to congratulate him and sent him a kiss.

I didn't deliver goods to Lu Jianye for some time because I was busy as a class teacher.

Today, Gu Qinghuan specially made a pot of cold rabbit for Lu Jianye and sold him ten Shanghai brand watches.

By the way, I talked to him about other business.

"Uncle Lu, does your grocery store sell soap?" Gu Qinghuan asked.

“Yes, but not many people buy them. Most people buy daily necessities at supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores.

But sometimes people ask us that we have imported some goods but don’t sell much.” Lu Jianye replied in confusion.

"How much do you buy soap at?"

"The purchase price is 25 cents, and the selling price is 35 cents. The more expensive ones are 35 cents or 40 cents."

"It's like this, we have produced a batch of soap in our village, and I am helping to think of a way to sell it.

Our soaps only cost 1.5 cents, which is 1 cent cheaper than the ones you bought before, and the quality of the soaps is absolutely guaranteed. Look, this is a sample." Gu Qinghuan said as he took out the sample he brought with him.

Lu Jianye didn't expect that she meant this and couldn't help but laugh.

"Are you here to sell soap today?"

"Of course not. I am responsible for the livelihood of our entire village. Uncle, try it first. I guarantee that you will be absolutely satisfied with it."

Gu Qinghuan brought him a basin of water without thinking twice and asked him to try to wash his hands.

Lu Jianye unpacked it without hesitation, took out the flower-shaped soap, and praised it: "It looks pretty good! I just don't know how it works."

After saying this, he wet his hands and prepared to wash them.

"Wait a moment." Gu Qinghuan suddenly had an idea. She opened the lunch box she brought and deliberately dripped some red oil on Lu Jianye's hand.

"Okay, you can wash now."

Gu Qinghuan has already tried this batch of products preliminarily. The effect is better than she imagined, and there is definitely no problem with the cleaning power.

Lu Jianye applied the soap doubtfully and scrubbed vigorously.

Not only is it washed clean, but when you smell it up close you can also smell a faint sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance.

"Very good!" Lu Jianye thought it was just for show but not practical, but unexpectedly it gave him a surprise.

Needless to say, someone just gave him ten watches, and these ten watches can make him earn nearly five hundred yuan.

He could still be flexible on this little thing.

Anyway, he had tried the quality of the soap and found no problem at all. It was no worse than the previous ones, and the purchase price was only one cent cheaper.

He can also explain to his superiors.

Besides, even if I buy soap worth 100 yuan, it's only 15 yuan, so I won't lose much.

So Lu Jianye nodded happily: "Okay, I'll order a hundred yuan first to test the waters. If it sells well, I'll take care of your business later."

"Thank you, Uncle Lu. Can I decide how to sell this soap? Don't worry, I will definitely not affect your other business." Gu Qinghuan said more aggressively.

Lu Jianye shook his head helplessly: "It's up to you! I want to see how you want to sell it!"

Gu Qinghuan already had a preliminary idea.

The next morning, she came with Xu Huainian, carrying a full basket of goods.

After delivering goods worth one hundred yuan to Lu Jianye, he received fifteen yuan.

All things are difficult at the beginning, money is hard to earn, and shit is hard to eat.

Gu Qinghuan found a conspicuous shelf to display these goods and pasted a piece of paper on it, which read: "Two cents"

Then he put the soap that he had tried on Lu Jianye before outside as a sample for everyone to try.

These days, the people selling things are the big shots, and the sales clerks all act like they are worth tens of thousands.

She tried her best to make the product noticed by more people and open up sales as soon as possible.

Success or failure depends on this one shake.

After delivering the goods, Gu Qinghuan bought four bottles of Maotai from Lu Jianye without any receipt.

Then he took Xu Huainian with him to start sales.

They visited the county's supply and marketing cooperatives, department stores, and major retail departments.

Just like salesmen in later generations, selling door to door.

The better ones will even politely say to you: "No, thank you."

Those with worse attitudes would directly say, "Do you think we are junk collectors? We collect everything? Get out of here!"

Gu Qinghuan was better off. After all, her beauty was there and most people would not bear to scold a beauty.

Xu Huainian was in trouble. He was rejected again and again, but he still had to bite the bullet and go to the next one.

This money is so hard to earn.

It was not until sunset that the two reunited.

Gu Qinghuan at least got an order for 300 soaps, but Xu Huainian didn't sell a single soap.

He was so anxious that he almost cried. What was going on? Why couldn’t he sell a single one?

Gu Qinghuan could only say that people have different talents.

Although Xu Huainian's personality is not particularly honest, he is obviously not suitable for this kind of job. Maybe Chen Fengqin is better than him.

Gu Qinghuan could only keep the sales job to himself for the time being.

He said at the beginning that he would only give the formula and not get involved in other things, but in the end he still couldn't bear to watch it. Gu Qinghuan has never been a cruel person.

People who are hard on the outside but soft on the inside suffer the most.

The two returned to the commune and went to the commune's supply and marketing cooperative.

Because Gu Qinghuan often came to buy things, the lady at the counter knew her. When she learned that she was here to sell something, she immediately helped call the person in charge of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Gu Qinghuan used her eloquence to negotiate with the other party and finally got the order for 100 bars of soap.

Of course, the main reason people place orders is to support their own commune’s products.

It's not easy to find someone willing to set up a factory and generate income in this small place, so we must support it.

But he didn't dare to take more, so he only took 100 bars of soap.

That's pretty good too.

While Xu Huainian was ecstatic, he was also full of admiration for Gu Qinghuan.

After a day at the market, they had sold half of their soaps and now only had 500 pieces left.

In the evening, Gu Qinghuan called a few people over for a meeting.
