Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

The system popped up: "Sell, sell, must sell."

"why?"

"Let me calculate for you. The current price of gold is over 500. You can do business if you sell it, and then we can collect cheaper gold bars when we go to other worlds. Isn't the price of gold over 90 attractive?"

Ye Zhiqiu nodded in his heart. The system doesn't know people's hearts and doesn't know human nature, but it won't make mistakes in calculating the accounts. There is still a lot of gold in the space, and it can be sold out. It's just that you have to choose the time and place to sell it, and you have to be careful to disguise yourself so that people can't recognize you.

In fact, the rent of the shop was a bit expensive, only a few square meters would cost 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. Even in Guangzhou, it was not cheap, not to mention that the location she had chosen was not in the city center, but this was already the best choice among all the candidate shops.

The first floor of the shopping mall has a large flow of people. On the left and right sides are a milk tea shop and a coffee shop. Other shops nearby are all familiar brands. The customers shopping here have a certain purchasing power, and spending dozens or hundreds of dollars on a manicure is not considered a high consumption for them.

The money on hand is still too little. No matter how thrifty I am, there is not much left after paying the deposit and rent. I still need to renovate, purchase raw materials and tools, and hire people. Fortunately, I can sell gold bars, otherwise I would have nowhere to borrow.

After Ye Zhiqiu put on so much makeup that even her own mother couldn't recognize her, she gave up the fast and convenient high-speed rail and took the slow and broken bus to the gold wholesale market in the next city to sell gold bars. There were a lot of gold bars in the space, but she didn't dare to sell too much, so she only sold a small 50G gold bar and left quickly.

Gold bars worth tens of thousands of dollars couldn't even make a splash in the wholesale market, so no one paid attention to her. As long as she kept her mouth shut, it would not be a problem for her to trade with someone else next time.

Ye Zhiqiu looked up at the cameras that were everywhere and decided to wait a little longer before coming back. It would be good enough as long as the funding problem could be solved for now.

The first thing she did after she had money was to recruit people. After the last day of work, the store could actually start trial operation. However, in order to attract customers, she still carefully prepared opening promotion activities.

In addition to the regular price discounts, the most important thing is of course the store's characteristics, at least to make some nail art patterns that other stores don't have. This is not difficult for Ye Zhiqiu, she can draw, this is a skill she learned in the previous world.

I can't be a painter, but I can draw some simple designs. In order to attract as many people as possible, I designed several sets of patterns in various styles. It is just right to hold free activities during the trial operation to attract customers and practice.

Without any relatives or friends to support him, Ye Zhiqiu went to the flower shop and ordered several pairs of flower baskets under different names. Even if he spent his own money to keep the scene going, he couldn't let the shop be so deserted that people would feel that it had no popularity right after opening and was about to go bankrupt.

You can be low-key as a person, but you can’t be low-key in business. A week before the opening, they specially customized promotional leaflets and distributed them in the neighborhood, distributing small advertisements under the scorching sun and under the occasional expulsion of the urban management.

This was an experience she had never had in her lifetime. If it wasn't for the mission, she would have definitely left everything behind and left.

The system asked curiously: "Host, the original owner didn't say he wanted to open a nail salon, why do you insist?"

"She didn't say it, but if she didn't like it, would she deliberately learn it?"

"I don't know." The system admitted that it was not good at this and that the host understood people better.

"She was so poor at the time. If she really wanted to find a job, shouldn't she look for a job that pays her immediately? For example, working as a waitress, a part-time worker, or working in a factory. The salary may not be high, but if she works hard for a year, she should be able to save 30,000 or 40,000 yuan. What happened?"

"Oh." The system still didn't understand, but in order not to expose its own ignorance, it pretended to know everything.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't care whether it understood or not. She stopped distributing the remaining flyers for the time being and went to find an air-conditioned room to rest for a while. If she continued to work under the scorching sun, she would definitely get a heat stroke.

Come back in the evening, there will be a lot of people at the night market. See if you can recruit someone, one person can't handle it, at least two people should be recruited to take turns to rest.

Unfortunately, her luck was not good this time. She still couldn't recruit anyone after handing out all the flyers. As a last resort, she could only think of poaching people from other stores. She didn't dare to poach people from other stores, nor did she want to poach people, but Yingzi could try.

She ran to the store where she used to work alone, and scared the boss half to death. He thought she had broken into the store in broad daylight to cause trouble, and he almost called the police.

"I'm looking for Yingzi." Ye Zhiqiu didn't want to waste public resources, so he stopped the other party before the call was connected.

The former boss's expression did not improve. Instead, he looked her up and down with a scrutinizing look: "What do you want to see Yingzi for?"

"Who, who is looking for me?" Yingzi was in the bathroom at the time. When she heard someone looking for her, she rushed out in a hurry.

Ye Zhiqiu winked at her: "It's me. I have something to talk to you about. Let's go outside and talk. Is that okay?" The last sentence was addressed to the former boss. It looked like he was seeking the other party's consent, but it would have been more believable if there was no murderous intent in his eyes.

What can the boss say? He was unlucky to meet this head-chopping woman. He would avoid her from now on. He couldn't move the store. If he could, he would move to another place to prevent the killer from coming to his store again.

Seeing that the boss had no objection, Yingzi knew that he agreed. She was also curious about why Ye Zhiqiu came to visit her, so she followed him outside to chat.

Before talking about business, they always exchange a few pleasantries. Thinking of the last time he hadn't thanked her, Ye Zhiqiu quickly said, "I haven't thanked you for helping me with the job last time."

"Don't thank me. I just gave you a phone number after seeing the message. I didn't actually do anything. It's your luck that the other party wants you." Yingzi didn't dare to take credit for it. If she had that ability, she should have gone in first. Who would be willing to work for a black-hearted boss?

Ye Zhiqiu accepted the favor in her heart regardless of whether Yingzi could help or not, but right now it was more important to talk about business. Not noticing that several people inside were curiously peeking in, she decided to leave as soon as possible to not bring unnecessary trouble to Yingzi.

"I opened a nail salon. Would you like to come and help? I'll pay you a salary, and if you're willing, you can also buy shares."

"what!"

Yingzi didn't expect such a good thing to happen, but she looked back at her boss and realized that it was not easy to leave. She didn't want to leave, but her salary was suppressed a lot, and if she left, she would definitely not get part of her salary.

This was all her hard-earned money, and she was reluctant to spend every penny of it.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't expect there was such a secret. No wonder everyone else in the store stayed. She thought the damn boss was bullying her alone, but it turned out that everyone was treated the same.

This is not a capitalist, but a small shop owner who is so black-hearted. It is true that profit can move people's hearts. She must not become like this in the future. Making money is important, but she should not take money that she should not make, and she must not profit by exploiting employees.

"Don't worry, I'll help you with the salary issue, just wait patiently."
