Chapter 59: Live Sales
That evening, Xu Qiang and other students went to the classroom on the third floor of the Workers' Club and began their first day of study at the workers' night school.

To Xu Qiang's surprise, all of Wang Yongsheng's group were present, and had entered the classroom more than ten minutes in advance.

In fact, the regulations of the workers' night school are relatively relaxed. Except for the TV classes on weekends and Sundays, attendance is required. If you fail to attend for two consecutive weekends and Sundays, you will be expelled directly. The rest of the time, Monday to Friday evenings are for self-study. Occasionally, there will be teachers coming to explain, and you only need to ask for leave from the class monitor in advance and you don't have to come.

"You're carrying a schoolbag?" Xu Qiang was surprised to see that Wang Yongsheng was carrying a green canvas Jiefang bag with a red star printed on it.

Xu Qiang now had some understanding of what kind of person Wang Yongsheng was. He was definitely not cut out for studying, and he didn't come to this night school to take the college entrance exam. But now it seemed that his attitude towards studying was pretty good.

But the next moment, Xu Qiang knew he was wrong.

"Hey, let me show you something." Wang Yongsheng pulled Xu Qiang to his seat and opened the Jiefang bag.

"This……"

When Xu Qiang saw a pile of bottles and jars in the bag, he was stunned.

"We worked for the whole afternoon and visited several waste stations in our factory. We collected more than 200 cans and bottles in total..." Wang Yongsheng explained.

It turned out that after separating from Xu Qiang in the morning, Wang Yongsheng put the four barrels of shampoo he had bought back into the dormitory, and then led people to the waste station in the factory area.

There is almost no real garbage in factory living areas these days. Scrap iron and waste newspapers are hard currency, and even waste glass, waste plastic, toothpaste tubes and the like can be sold for a good price.

In addition, scrap yards these days are basically state-owned, and prices are relatively stable. There is just one thing: things only go in and not out, and it is almost impossible to sell them and then buy them back.

But nothing is absolute. Wang Yongsheng can do what others cannot do.

After a lot of persuasion, threats and inducements, the old man in charge of the scrap yard actually gave in and obediently sold all the cans he had recently collected to Wang Yongsheng and his gang.

Now that the bottles are ready, the next step is to clean and disinfect them. Quickly rinse them in boiling water, then wash them clean with warm water and laundry detergent. After they are dry, several people start bottling them.

In fact, many workers in the factory use water cups made of cans, which are covered with colorful plastic tubes. They are beautiful, not hot, and quite practical.

In addition, the bottles come in different sizes, which is an easy problem to solve since both large and small bottles can be sold.

The key point was that some of the bottles had lids and some didn't. Little Cannon led a few people to search the scrap yard upside down before they managed to get all the bottle caps.

"You're really amazing!" At this moment, Xu Qiang couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Wang Yongsheng.

Although Wang Yongsheng seems to be a nonchalant person at ordinary times, he actually has some business acumen. He solved the problem of shampoo packaging in just one afternoon.

"Hey, the squad leader is here! Hello, squad leader!"

Just when Xu Qiang wanted to see how many bottles were in the bag, Little Cannon suddenly shouted.

"Wang Yongsheng, Xu Qiang, Luo Zhongshun, and Lei Yunsheng, you guys came quite early." Seeing Xu Qiang and others, Liu Siying said with a smile.

Although the whole class had just briefly introduced themselves before, Liu Siying had the ability to remember everything she saw and directly called out the names of several of them.

It must be said that Liu Siying left a very good impression. Not only was she beautiful, but her speech and manner also gave people a friendly and warm feeling. At this time, Lin Yueying and several other female workers came in with Liu Siying. They had obviously made an appointment to come together.

"He definitely isn't here to study, coming so early." Lin Yueying said with a smile after seeing Wang Yongsheng.

"Don't look down on me like that. If I get into university and become a factory leader, won't you all listen to me?" Wang Yongsheng protested.

"If you can get into college, the sun will rise from the west." Lin Yueying looked disdainful and continued, "Aren't you usually in the dance hall at this time? Why didn't you go today?"

Lin Yueying and Wang Yongsheng had known each other before, and they both liked to go to dance halls, where Wang Yongsheng was undoubtedly the focus of the whole place. He was tall and handsome, and he danced seductively, which was undoubtedly very "lethal" to many female workers in the south.

"The dance hall is being renovated..." Wang Yongsheng made an excuse, and then said to Lin Yueying: "Come on, let me give you something good..."

"What good stuff?"

"This is it." Wang Yongsheng said, taking out several small medicine bottles that had been prepared long ago from his bag and placing them on the table.

These small medicine bottles are penicillin injection bottles from the hospital. They are the size of a thumb and have a rubber cover on them, into which the needle tip can be inserted directly. Many people in the factory have them at home. Some even use these small bottles to glue them into ornaments or lampshades, which look very beautiful when placed at home.

At this time, the small bottles are filled with red, yellow, blue and green shampoo creams. When they are taken out and placed on the table, they look very beautiful.

"What is this?" Lin Yueying asked curiously.

At the same time, other female workers who came to the classroom also gathered around.

"This is a new type of shampoo produced by Shanghai Daily Chemical Factory. It uses a Japanese formula. The green one has a green apple scent, the red one has a lily scent, and the purple one has a clove scent..." Wang Yongsheng said as he opened a small purple bottle and handed it to Lin Yuying, saying, "Smell it and see if it smells good..."

When Lin Yueying heard this, her face suddenly turned slightly red. In those days, relationships between men and women were still very conservative. But after hesitating for a moment, she still took the bottle from Wang Yongsheng.

In fact, the moment the bottle was opened, everyone around could smell a fragrant floral scent.

The fragrance of Xu Qiang's batch of shampoos is relatively strong, mainly because Wang Yongsheng's customers are mainly young people, so there are some slight improvements to the formula.

It now seems that the effect should be good. Wang Yongsheng and others were very satisfied after trying it, and it is estimated that other people will like it too.

Sure enough, as the fragrance of the flowers spread throughout the classroom, more and more students gathered around, even Liu Siying came over.

"It smells quite nice, why doesn't it have a trademark?" Lin Yueying took the small bottle, smelled it, nodded with satisfaction, and then asked.

Not only Lin Yueying, but also several female workers nearby seemed to be attracted by the floral scent and had obviously become interested in the shampoo.

"These are all new products from the Shanghai factory. They have not been sold publicly on the market yet. They are only supplied internally. Others cannot buy them even if they want to." Wang Yongsheng looked very proud and continued, "It just so happens that I have a relative who works at the Daily Chemical Factory No. 3. He was able to get me some bulk goods. We are classmates in the same class. If you want them, the price is absolutely cheap."

"Aren't you from the Northeast? How come you have relatives in Shanghai?" Liu Siying reacted quickly and asked with a smile.
