Chapter 005: Guo Dalu's Ingenious Strategy at the Watermelon Stand
Guo Qing and Guo Ting exchanged glances upon seeing Guo Da Lu's resolute stance, and then changed their tune to support him, saying: "Then let's head to the new district first; after all, no one else would think to go there, and perhaps there will be unexpected surprises."
In a team, it is not fear of disputes or differing opinions that is concerning, but rather the presence of individuals who watch from the sidelines, mocking and ridiculing without offering any valuable suggestions, which only serves to dampen morale
Wang Wenwu nodded and said, "That is where the most people come and go."
"Wobei New District." Guo Dalu said firmly, "Although the station has a large flow of people, the competition is also fierce"
Guo Dalu knew that Guo Qing had just supported him purely to save face in front of the outsider Wang Wenwu, and in fact, he was also uncertain in his heart. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, you will know when the time comes"
"Boss Song, is it a bit wasteful for you to drive an Audi to work at the construction site?" Guo Dalu chatted with Boss Song while moving watermelons and pretending to be familiar.
Guo Dalu pretended not to hear and said, "Tiedan, you and Wu Ge stay here on guard, I will go buy breakfast with Heiniu"
Not having walked far, Guo Qing quietly asked, "Dalu, are you sure there’s no problem here? Why do I feel like this place is so desolate that not even a bird would defecate here? Who would come here to buy watermelons?"
It is still early; the peak period begins after 10 o'clock, " Guo Dalu explained.
Have you decided where to go first?" Wang Wenwu asked as the car started moving
Guo Dalu turned around, his gaze sweeping slowly like a slow-motion shot over Wang Wenwu, Guo Qing, and Guo Tingkai, all three of whom looked utterly bewildered
That must be delivered
Ten minutes later, Dajianghuai stopped at an open space by the roadside in the new district. Everyone got out of the car and looked around, and indeed, not a single figure was found. It was hard to believe that any watermelons could be sold here.
"Dalu, do we still need to wait?" Guo Tingkai asked, with a hint of urgency in Guo Qing's eyes as well
Guo Dalu said: "Business is here." He stepped forward and asked: "Do you want to buy watermelons, boss? How many do you need?"
Well! Alright, let's arrange it this way! I will follow the general direction!" Guo Qing said enthusiastically.
What does it mean to have particularly strong power
"Mom, don't go cook anymore. I can't eat right now. Later, I'll go eat with Heiniu and Tiedan in Xiang County. You should hurry and go to sleep." Guo Dalu waved his hand and said "I'm leaving," then turned and walked out.
Guo Qing and Guo Ting also remained silent, clearly in agreement with Wang Wenwu in their hearts
Guo Qing nodded and said, "Yes"
Guo Tingkai : `` ... ... ''
Guo Dalu laughed heartily and said, "This is what a team should look like"
Wang Wenwu was left speechless by Guo Dalu's laughter, shaking his head helplessly, and said: "I have said everything that needs to be said. If you continue to do this to me, there is nothing I can do. By eleven o'clock, everyone will have packed up and gone home, selling to the old chickens..."
"Wait until eleven o'clock." Guo Dalu was not in a hurry at all, and then jokingly said to Wang Wenwu, "Brother Wu, I am the one who pays your salary. If you keep making sarcastic remarks to stir up team harmony, I will deduct your wages.
Guo Tingkai looked at Guo Dalu and said, "Shall we go to the old town station first"
Wang Wenwu was also unwilling to back down this time, saying: "By then, none of you will be able to sell a single watermelon, and I won't feel at ease about my wages! Others selling watermelons are afraid of having too few customers, wishing they could set up their stalls in the city center, yet you all have brought them to this desolate mountain wilderness..."
After leaving the construction site, Guo Qing continuously praised Guo Dalu, indulging in flattery to the utmost extent, even going so far as to say things like "a celestial being descended to earth" and "the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang"
Guo Qing : `` ... ... ''
"There must be," Guo Dalu said as he patted Guo Qing on the shoulder
For breakfast, we bought steamed buns and soy milk, and the four of us ate together. Then we gathered around to play poker while waiting for business to come in
Guo Ting nodded slightly: "Alright"
Let's go, follow my car
"The remaining items can be sold at the old town station or near the school. If they do not sell out, we can bring them back to the town to wrap things up," Guo Dalu said confidently
See how much you want
Before Guo Dalu could speak, Wang Wenwu said: "Wait, it is not yet noon, what time does the peak period start again?"
Guo Qing looked at Guo Da Lu's face with some confusion
Guo Dalu, Guo Tingkai, and Guo Qing arrived at Wang Wenwu's doorstep at 4:55 and waited for half an hour before Wang Wenwu finally opened the door.
Including the free watermelon, this transaction accounted for nearly four-fifths of the goods, with an income of 6,500 yuan, far exceeding expectations
"No, I asked your father to set the alarm clock," Guo's mother said as she headed to the kitchen
Guo Qing also said: "Yes, let's go to the old town station. In the past, we always went to the station. What do you think about the main road?"
As a world-renowned luxury car brand, Audi has countless commendable qualities. However, Mr. Song surprisingly gave it a comment of "powerful." One can only wonder what kind of psychological experience Audi itself would have upon hearing such a remark
300 pieces
Guo Tingkai expresses reservations
Turning his head, he saw a dirty Audi parked by the roadside, and a chubby man with a buzz cut was leaning out of the car window calling to them
"Oh, you all are up so early," Wang Wenwu greeted with a smile
Wang Wenwu said with a smile: "The vortex bridge is better than the new district, but I will leave it to you. Wherever you say to go, I will guarantee to take you there"
Wang Wenwu charges by the trip, with each trip costing 500 yuan, regardless of the distance traveled. Naturally, he hopes to minimize the distance as much as possible. Guo Ting's statement is a reflection of his strategy.
Wang Wenwu : `` ... ... ''
Guo Qing, with a dark expression, was about to lose his temper when Guo Tingkai reached out to hold him back. He then said to Wang Wenwu: "Brother Wu, we should head over early to secure a good spot. If we can sell out in Xiang County, we won't need to go to other places, right?"
"Trust me," Guo Dalu said confidently
Guo Dalu turned around and said, "Mom, did I wake you up?"
"How many do you have?" said the Audi owner, exuding an air of wealth and confidence
Wang Wenwu said nothing and drove directly past the old city, heading towards the Wobei New District. After all, it was you who asked me to go; if I can't sell a single watermelon by then, don't blame me
Guo Dalu : `` ... ... ''
Indeed, upon hearing Guo Tingkai's words, Wang Wenwu said no more and waved his hand to let the three get into the car
There are always eight or nine thousand pounds in total
Wang Wenwu had not finished saying the last "ba" when he suddenly heard someone nearby calling: "Hey, watermelon seller!"
When the car entered the county town, it was already 6:20 in the morning. In summer, dawn breaks early, and outside, the passing large buses, the early morning public transport, the private cars waiting at the red light, and the tricycles of small vendors together played a symphony of variations on the morning of Xiang County
Points of attention. Guo's mother reminded her son with a word as she looked at his back
Guo Tingkai said: "But it seems that there are not many people in the Wobei New District..."
Guo Dalu said: "Then you should drive to the Wobei New District." His tone remained very polite, yet it carried an indescribable sense of intimidation.
Wang Wenwu muttered, "Selling to ghosts here, the peak of ghosts..."
Guo Dalu got up at 4:30 the next morning to wash up. In order not to disturb his parents' rest, he moved particularly lightly. However, just as he was tiptoeing out the door, his mother's voice sounded behind him: "I will make you some food, eat before you go."
Shall I send it?
"What a waste, I bought this car specifically for transporting materials and tools, it has a lot of power," Boss Song replied while munching on a watermelon
As the sun rose higher and higher, it soon became 8 or 9 o'clock. The vehicles on the road were increasingly numerous, yet no one stopped to buy watermelons
If Guo Dalu did not adhere to the principle of believing in Sun Wukong, he himself would have doubts
"Get to work, why are you all in a daze?" Guo Dalu called out, and only then did the three of them come to their senses.
The owner of Audi is surnamed Song and is a construction site contractor. This time, he specifically drove out to buy watermelons for over one hundred of his workers as a welfare gesture. However, the car did not go far before it happened to come across Guo Dalu's watermelon stand, as if it were waiting for him.
