Stamps themselves don't make much money, but if many people buy them, and you occasionally offer a stamp with a good market price, you can ensure that Sister Zhao's business stays good.

Sister Zhao didn't understand a single word Shao Wanwan said.

She wondered why they were selling stamps here, since it wasn't a post office. And what were blind boxes? She instinctively thought of urns and the like, which she found unlucky.

She took a while to process it, but still couldn't help asking, "Sister, I always believe in you, but isn't it a bit too much for my little shop to sell things like urns..."

Blind boxes = urns?

Shao Wanwan almost fell backward.

She took out the scratch cards that Sister Zhao was selling, as well as those toys that you could poke and get out a little trinket.

"The blind boxes I'm talking about are similar to these things, only the packaging is more exquisite and the price is more expensive. Some of them have stamps with higher prices and are limited in quantity, meaning they are first-come, first-served. If you're late, you can't buy them and you can only wait for the next round," Shao Wanwan explained earnestly to Sister Zhao.

Shao Wanwan really wanted Sister Zhao to make money.

She also needs a platform to put her ideas into practice.

Sister Zhao was relieved.

However, I still only have a superficial understanding.

Although Sister Zhao hadn't attended school for many days, she was very ambitious and quick-witted, and she soon discovered the problem with the plan.

"Where are we going to get so many stamps? And where are we going to get... that exquisite packaging?"

Sister Zhao was completely clueless.

She thought Shao Wanwan was there to talk about phone cards, but she didn't expect her to have a new idea.

Sister Zhao practically idolized Shao Wanwan. She became even more determined to make sure Li Shuai studied hard, never let him go back to the countryside, and never let him transfer schools.

"I'll figure out a solution. We'll stick to the old way, splitting the profits 50/50, you get half and I get half!" Shao Wanwan said decisively.

Sister Zhao was a little embarrassed. What had she done? Why did she have to share half with her?

"Little sister, I didn't do anything..."

“You have more time than me! You have to mind the shop! You have to be in charge of sales! These are all things I need to do. I don’t have three heads and six arms, I can’t do everything. Don’t worry, Sister Zhao, I’ve made the arrangements. Just the students from the school alone are enough for us to make a good profit.” After all, Shao Wanwan was a transmigrator from a book, so she knew all too well what was popular in the current era.

Stamp collecting is a hobby similar to opening blind boxes; it's incredibly addictive.

The key point is that some stamps, after being discontinued, have seen their prices skyrocket.

You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to earn money one step at a time.

She just wanted to say hello to Sister Zhao first; the most important thing was that she had already started selling phone cards.

Sister Zhao, as the first agent she developed, is definitely worth ten of them.

First of all, her convenience store has two landline phones. Because of its remote location, some boyfriends and girlfriends from other schools who want to make calls and say intimate things that can only be heard in the dark prefer to come to Sister Zhao's store.

Having a phone card makes making calls convenient and cheap.

She took the shelf from which Sister Zhao displayed cigarette boxes and used it to hold phone cards. Then she wrote the discount packages on a piece of white paper and stuck it on the table next to the phone.

"Sister Zhao, here are 500 yuan phone cards. You can sell them first, and I'll give you half the profit after you sell them all. You don't need to tie up any money. After you sell them all, just let me know, and I'll settle the bill with you before I go to restock. If you don't mind the hassle, you can develop more agents to help you sell them. The profit margin on these phone cards isn't high; it's all about volume."

Shao Wanwan doesn't really care much about the current profits.

What she wants is to become a first-level agent.

Above the first-level agent are the regional agents. Only after becoming a regional agent does she start to make real money.

Right now, however, we are truly strapped for cash.

It took me half a day to scrape together enough money for a phone card costing 1,000 yuan.

I have grand ideas in my mind, but it's very difficult to put them into practice. Funding is the biggest problem.

"I'll pay you first, and then you can have all the profits after we sell them all. I don't want them. I know about these phone cards; the profit margin is too low. If I don't get a penny, you won't get anything either. The customers you brought me have kept my shop afloat, so I thought I could help you out. Please don't be so polite!" Sister Zhao rummaged through drawers and found five hundred yuan in cash. She hurriedly stuffed it into Shao Wanwan's hand as she spoke.

Five hundred yuan is not a small amount of money these days, especially since Sister Zhao's shop is small.

Every day, we sell goods and then use the money to buy more. Some goods are hard to sell, but we still have to have them. They sit on the shelves year after year, and we have to check frequently to make sure they're not expired. If we accidentally sell expired food, we could lose everything we own.

Sister Zhao had it much harder than her.

She only needs to eat her fill and has no family to worry about. Although she doesn't have much money for living expenses, at least she doesn't have any major expenses.

Shao Wanwan knew that Sister Zhao didn't want to take advantage of her, so she said, "How about this, you sell one and pay me for one, isn't that good enough? Anyway, I come here often."

Sister Zhao was so grateful she didn't know what to say.

This 500 yuan was the money she used to buy cigarettes. In order to obtain a license to sell tobacco, her husband, Lao Li, asked around for help. However, because his level was too low, his superiors said that he had to frequently stock up on goods, and that he had to sell some easy-to-sell cigarettes along with some difficult-to-sell ones. So most of the shop's revenue was used to buy cigarettes.

There are students who smoke in college, but few smoke expensive cigarettes, since they are all students. However, cheap cigarettes that are easy to sell need to be mixed with several other types of cigarettes, so she has a hard time selling them.

But this matter cannot be stopped. They were already unable to compete with the big supermarket near the school gate, and if they also ran out of cigarettes, they would be doomed.

She didn't want to tell Shao Wanwan these things, afraid of causing her trouble.

However, she was still very touched by Shao Wanwan's act of stocking up on the goods for her, and felt even more indebted to Shao Wanwan.

So when Shao Wanwan left, Sister Zhao packed a big bag of snacks for her.

He told her to take it back and eat it with her roommate, but no matter how much Shao Wanwan refused, he insisted on giving it to her.

Shao Wanwan was worried that if she refused, they would be unable to keep in touch in the future, so she readily agreed.

After taking only a few steps with the snacks in her arms, Shao Wanwan remembered something, turned back, and told Sister Zhao that she needed to make a phone call.

Then the phone rang three times for Jiang Zheyuan.

More than two hours had passed, and Zhang Suran must have been extremely anxious. It was the perfect time for Jiang Zheyuan to call.

Jiang Zheyuan received Shao Wanwan's prompting and made the call as planned.

He explained to Zhang Suran the various benefits of being a security guard, as well as Shao Pei's potential career prospects in the industry.

Finally, he focused on the possibility of someone properly disciplining Shao Pei. A hot-blooded young man like Shao Pei is prone to going astray, and if someone can guide him at this time, he can definitely achieve great things.
