Quick travel: repaying a favor or taking revenge, the mission has the final say
Chapter 174 Newbie on the Road, Pedestrians Avoid 23
After organizing his words, Gu Tian said, "Let's each take out 200 yuan. Do you think that's okay?"
Seeing that everyone shook their heads and agreed, Gu Tian continued, "There are five of us, and if each person pays 200, that's a total of 1,000 yuan. Whitewash and wooden frames for the walls won't cost much either. We'll budget 100 yuan, and that'll leave us with 900 yuan. We'll spend 800 yuan on the goods, and the remaining 100 yuan will be used for cash flow!"
After thinking for a long time, everyone agreed.
"I have to go back this week to get my New Year's money," said Gunana.
"Me too!" Hu Yuqian raised her hand and said.
"Okay! Then let's gather at home early on Sunday!" Gu Tian made the final decision!
Everyone went into the room of their choice to organize their clothes.
Gu Tian was in the living room downstairs, using the landline to call his third uncle's house.
"Hey."
"Third uncle!"
"Tiantian, what's wrong?"
"Uncle Three, does Xiangxiang know anyone?" It has been three years since Xiangxiang returned, and her figurines have begun to show signs of becoming trendy.
"Yes, I do. What do you want to buy?"
"Hey, I'd like to ask my third uncle for help. I want to buy some loose action figures!"
"Tsk~ You really have a lot of tricks! If you had used them all on studying, you probably wouldn't have only been admitted to No. 1 Middle School!" Yang Hui teased.
"Uncle, if you don't expose my shortcomings, we are still good relatives!"
"What? If you reveal our secrets, we're no longer relatives?"
"Haha~ Third Uncle, don't change the subject!"
"I'm calling you, but it's hard to get through."
"It's okay, I'll just fight more!"
"Have you subscribed to international long-distance service at home?"
“…” Could she say that she hadn’t thought that much?
"It's okay, I'll do it after we have a break!"
“Haha~.”
"Third Uncle, I'm done! I'm hanging up now!"
"Wait a minute, haha~!" Yang Hui felt that his little niece now acted like a child.
"When will your mother be back? We're about to start demolition here! We'll probably need signatures next month."
"Okay! I'll tell my mom when she comes back!" It seems I need to buy a cell phone! But nowadays cell phones don't have cameras, so I might as well buy a pager!
Saturday came quickly, and Gu Tian was the only one left in the villa! And Gu Tian also had a lot of things to do today!
She first used her household registration book and ID card to go to the business hall to apply for international calling service for her home landline.
I immediately went home and called my third uncle's friend in Hong Kong.
After calling three times without anyone answering, Gu Tian hung up the phone and went to the store to measure the distance and length between the shelves. He also went to the second-hand market and bought three display cabinets of the same height. He paid an extra twenty yuan and had them repainted. After giving the deposit and address, he agreed to have them delivered to the store tomorrow afternoon. He also bought three sets of refurbished single sofas from another second-hand store.
In the evening, Gu Tian made another call, and this time someone answered the phone.
"Hello, who is this?" A deep, smoky male voice came from the phone.
"Hello, are you Mr. Song Yan?" When Gu Tian heard the voice, he immediately sat up from the slumped body on the sofa and straightened his back unconsciously.
"It's me! Who are you?" The voice on the other end was still neither hurried nor slow.
"My name is Gu Tian, and my uncle is Yang Hui. I'm sorry to bother you, but I want to ask you for a favor!"
"Um... please go ahead."
"I'd like you to buy me some of the popular low- and mid-range bulk figures in your area!"
"...Okay! Is this urgent?"
"No hurry! No hurry! Wait until you're free!"
"Okay, give me your address and phone number, I'll buy it and send it to you, and then call you back!"
"Okay, for now, I only want the goods worth 800 yuan. The largest one should be the size of an adult man's palm, but there's no limit on the size of the smaller ones!"
"OK, all right."
"How can I give you money?"
"I'll give you the Red Country Bank account number, just transfer the money directly to it!"
"Okay! Give me your card number and I'll write it down."
Gu Tian wrote down the card number, and Song Yan wrote down the address and phone number. After a polite greeting, both sides hung up the phone.
On Sunday, all the friends came to the villa with huge sums of money. After signing a handwritten contract, they became partners!
We went to the store in the afternoon to sign for the furniture, and then we put it away together, cleaned what needed to be cleaned, fixed what needed to be fixed, and then waited for the figures to be put on the shelves!
"Okay, go back and have some rest. Classes start tomorrow. I've already contacted someone to get some goods from Xiangxiang for us. Now we just have to wait for them to ship it to us! I'll go to the bank to transfer the money tomorrow at noon."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you."
"OK!"
A week later, Gu Tian received the package sent by Xiangxiang. When she opened it and counted the money, she found something wrong. After calling to inquire, she was told that it was her third uncle who added one thousand.
Then the five best friends all wrote an IOU for two hundred yuan to my third uncle.
Everyone worked overtime to start assembling, then swept away the dust. Those who wanted mid-range figures simply scratched the glass themselves and made glass boxes to cover the assembled figures, which were then locked in display cabinets. Boxes of unassembled figures were placed on the shelves on the wall.
Five people started to work in shifts: two to watch the store, one to deliver meals, and two to distribute flyers.
After a month, everyone realized that this wasn't working! The store was only open at night, but their homework had to be done during breaks, otherwise they would have to wait until they were done with their work at night.
So the five of them met again!
Zhao Ting: "We need to find someone to look after the store!"
Hu Yuqian: "But our sales this month are only 120!"
Gunana: "I can't afford to hire anyone!"
Gu Tian lowered his head in deep thought.
Suddenly Gu Tian thought of Zhao Ting’s father, a learned man in the Lord!
"Tingting! Let's hire your dad!"
"Ah?" Zhao Ting was stunned.
"Isn't Uncle at home? We'll ask him to look after the shop! Our shop is open from 1pm to 4pm. We've been handing out flyers for a month, so there's no need to do any more. Monday to Friday, from 6pm to 9pm, we'll take turns, one night each. Saturdays will be mine, Xiaofeng, and Tingting, and Sundays will be Qianqian and Nana. Uncle will have the day off! If there are any special circumstances, just let us know in advance so we can swap shifts! Once the business grows bigger and makes money, we'll officially hire someone else!"
"How much salary should uncle receive?" asked Jin Xiaofeng.
"Fifty yuan a month!" Gu Tian said after thinking about it.
"Or we don't need to invite anyone else. Tingting's father can come during the day, and my father can come at night!" Jin Xiaofeng said a little embarrassedly.
"Okay!" Everyone agreed.
"In that case, we just need to assemble the figures! Tiantian will be responsible for the shipping and receiving of the goods! We will go to the store together every Sunday to check the accounts and replenish the stock!" Hu Yuqian listed the things that everyone needed to do.
"No problem!! Little Phoenix's dad is also fifty dollars! Tomorrow is Friday, remember to tell him when you get home tonight!"
"Row!"
"Row!"
Jin Xiaofeng and Zhao Ting originally lived in the city, and it wasn't far from the store. They could drive directly from the entrance of the community to the store! Even if they walked, it was only three or four stops away, within three kilometers!
Everyone bring the figures they want to assemble back to their rooms, and those who do their homework do their homework, those who assemble figures assemble figures, and those who watch TV downstairs watch TV. The store will be closed for a few days!
The next day, everyone went to school together. The location of the villa was well connected, and all five of them could take a direct bus to school.
As soon as Gu Tian arrived in the classroom, he was called out by the monitor of the Rocket Class.
"What's the matter?"
"Does your store have a new version of the boxing champion action figure?"
"Well, yes!"
"How to sell it?"
"Do you want the finished product or the stage setting?"
“No finished product!”
"Okay, a 9-grade set for the entrance, 25 yuan each!"
"As long as they are different, come get one!"
"Go to the store after school and buy whichever one you like!"
"Where is the store?"
"...Uh, wait for me after school and I'll take you there! The store is empty these days."
"Okay, it's settled!"
"Uh-huh."
When Gu Tian returned to the classroom, the student sitting in front of him immediately came over and asked curiously, "What did the top student ask you to do?"
"He wants to buy a figure, and my store happens to have one!"
"Oh, that thing, what's so good about it? Not only is it expensive, but it's also useless except for looking at it!"
"Haha, everyone has their own preferences!"
Everyone eats lunch at school.
Just after school, when Gu Tian was still packing his schoolbag, the top student was already waiting outside the classroom.
Helpless Gu Tian hurriedly stuffed the books into his schoolbag and went to the store with the top student.
I didn't expect that the top student was actually rich! He had hundreds of dollars in his pocket!
Shop directly in store!
"The quality of your figures is really good! Wow, they're all authentic!"
“The goods are delicious!”
"Great!" The nerd gave a thumbs up, then looked through all the figurines in the store: "I don't have enough money, I'll come back next time!"
"There will be new products next week, come back and take a look then!"
"Okay, that's fine!" The top student left contentedly.
Gu Tian closed the shop and it was too late when he went back.
Aunt Qin prepared the meal, put it in the insulated box and went back.
Gu Tian turned on the light, and the whole room was bright. Suddenly, the landline rang.
"Hey."
"Tiantian, why did you come back just now?!"
"mom."
"Well, I'm in the country right now and I have to sign tomorrow. Do you want to come?"
"Okay! What time tomorrow?"
Then Gu Tian heard his mother asking his third uncle, and after a while his mother's voice was full of energy again: "Tomorrow afternoon at 1:30!"
"Okay! I'll be back for lunch!"
"Okay, I'll let your little brother show you his cooking skills! Your little brother's cooking is really good now!"
"Yeah, okay! See you tomorrow, Mom!"
"alright, bye!"
After dinner, Gu Tian washed the dishes and went upstairs to wash up and do his homework. It was already 11:40 when he finished his homework. He fell on the bed and fell asleep in a short while.
The next day, Gu Tian was amazed by the little brother's cooking skills! He was surprised that the little brother could actually cook so well in the fire department.
"Little brother, tell me secretly, where did you steal the master?"
"Go away! What nonsense are you talking about!" Yang Guomin grinned with a smug look on his face.
"Tsk~!" Gu Tian rolled his eyes, patted his butt and left.
In the afternoon, all the villagers came to sign, and then gathered in groups of three or four to chat. Gu Tian undoubtedly became the target of the older generation's care for the younger generation.
Gu Tian’s smiling face froze before he returned home with his mother.
"Mom, there's no quilt at home. Did you stay at my third aunt's house yesterday?"
"Well, take a look and see if there's anything you need to take back. Tell your little brother and have him send it back to the city for you. I'll sell the rest!"
"Oh, okay!" Gu Tian walked up and down twice but didn't feel like he needed to take anything away.
Jiang Lanying saw her daughter running around in front of her, which made her feel annoyed: "If there's nothing wrong, just go back to the city!"
"Mom, what about you?"
"I'll wait until the money comes in before I leave."
"Oh, I'll leave first."
"Let's go, let's go." It makes me upset just looking at this! He really came here to collect debts!
When Gu Tian returned to the villa, the four sisters had all returned and were assembling figures in the living room while watching TV.
"Tiantian, how much of the task have you completed?" Hu Yuqian asked hurriedly when she saw Gu Tian coming back. She was the slowest among the four people and desperately needed someone who was slower than her to comfort her!
"Oh, it hasn't been assembled yet! Let me take a shower first!" Gu Tian went upstairs.
Hu Yuqian, who had finally found her balance, said proudly, "See! I'm not the slowest! Tiantian hasn't finished any of them yet!"
"Yes, yes, yes! You are the most careful, so you are a little slow!" Gunana rolled her eyes.
"Hahahaha" Zhao Ting and Jin Xiaofeng couldn't help laughing when they saw the two people making funny faces.
Perhaps it was due to his talent, but Gu Tian went from last place to first place in just one night and became a true fast hand!
Then I started to measure the size, cut the glass, apply glass glue, and make the glass box.
Time flies, Gu Tian and his friends are now in their third year of high school!
The academic workload was so intense that we stayed up late and got up early every day. We didn’t even go home on Saturdays and Sundays, but just reviewed together in the villa.
The figure shop also became famous during those two years. Everyone knew about this peculiar figure shop. The items inside were all genuine, but the business hours were only three hours in the afternoon and three hours in the evening! Sometimes, they would be a little capricious and close for an entire afternoon or evening, and sometimes they would be very capricious and close for several days!
Gu Tian and Song Yan also became familiar with each other. Unexpectedly, Song Yan was actually Xiangxiang's garrison commander! He was the youngest in his uncle's group, and his family had connections. When Xiangxiang was assigned to the garrison, his family made a great effort!
If the fragrance doesn't mix well, just treat it as a gilding so you can move around when you get back.
If you can get famous in Xiangxiang, then rapid advancement in your career will not be a dream!
What Gu Tian didn't expect was that Song Yan also liked the figures. Not only did he buy them for her, he also collected many out-of-print ones himself!
After Gu Tian made money with the four little ones, he directly invested in real estate.
The four little ones were not afraid of being sold and just followed Gu Tian. It can be said that they didn’t even trust their own parents that much!
Gu Tian and his mother also bought properties and shops in the north and west of the city. Gu Tian asked the four children to jointly buy shops.
After the villa in the countryside was built, it was directly handed over to my third uncle for rent. I would stay at my third uncle's house during the Chinese New Year and other holidays!
My third uncle was really bold. He bought a house for each of my older brother and younger brother, and he and my third aunt also paid for the land and built the villa.
Gu Tian's family only needed a foundation to build a house, and converted the rest into money to buy a house in the city.
The west of the city has not been developed yet, so the houses are cheap. Wait three years until it is developed and buy a house right away. In a few more years, the price will increase tenfold!
So Gu Tian instigated her four best friends to jointly buy a private house in the village!
