Chapter 218 The Invincible One

Early this morning, Liu Zicheng felt particularly uncomfortable.

The reason was simple. He looked at the perfect little fairy in his mind, Li Yufei, introducing canned food to classmates with a sweet smile on her pretty face, and he felt uncomfortable as if a fly had been eaten. He felt that running to the No. 1 Middle School in the city to sell canned food was very stupid, boring and embarrassing, but there was nothing he could do because the perfect little fairy insisted on doing it.

Of course, the reasons are a long story.

Some time ago, their Longjingyuan Cannery was acquired by a private enterprise called Liansheng under the auspices of the Chengnan District Government. The specific circumstances were unclear. He was an excellent student who stayed in school every day, ignoring everything else and focusing on reading sage books. He had no interest in these adult entanglements. Anyway, he felt that whether the Longjingyuan Cannery was acquired or not, his father's position as deputy director would be as stable as a rock.

However, after Liansheng took over the Longjingyuan Cannery, it has made some pretty big moves recently. First, it paid one month's salary back to the employees of Longjingyuan. Then, it organized a series of promotional activities, mobilizing all the employees in the factory to sell canned food.

The employees of Longjingyuan have not received any salary for seven or eight months. As a working class person, they all depend on that little salary to make a living. Now they have been out of food for more than half a year. Suddenly getting one month's salary as an extra payment can really help them out. Therefore, the employees of Longjingyuan are very grateful to Liansheng, and no one is making a fuss like before. Every household is immersed in the dream of getting double salary in one month after the New Year, while enduring a difficult life.

However, in reality, Liu Zicheng felt that there was no business without fraud. The double salary for the first month after the New Year was just an empty promise made by Liansheng. The only thing really given to the employees was the back pay for that month. However, at the moment, this little salary could not improve the difficult living situation of the employees except for allowing them to have a hot meal and relieve some of the pressure.

You know, over the past year, many employees who have lost their source of income have been relying on loans to make a living. As the New Year is approaching, they need money to deal with creditors who come to their doorstep, to buy New Year goods, to give new clothes to their children, to visit relatives and friends, to entertain guests for meals and drinks, etc., and all this money is urgent and necessary.

But where does the money come from?

Liansheng from above showed the employees a way out.

Sell ​​canned goods! Get commission! Give bonus!
Regarding this point, Liansheng above Longjingyuan must have long been certain that the employees had no other choice, and it was indeed true. Over the past year, the employees of the cannery had been so tired of being poor that they were crazy about it. As long as there was a way to make money, they would not miss it. Liu Zicheng had heard of several female employees who were selling themselves in the red-light district on a street in the south of the city, not to mention calling on them to go out and do something as serious as selling canned food.

As for the gentlemen in the Propaganda Department, I don’t know who has enlightened their brains recently, but they suddenly became smart and used all kinds of means to motivate employees.

A big red sales glory board is posted at the factory gate, and sales training meetings, summary meetings, and commendation meetings are held every now and then. Every evening when the employees are at home, the Propaganda Department will start broadcasting on time at 7:30 after the news broadcast ends. It will first broadcast a passionate good news, and then begin to broadcast sales performance reports whose authenticity no one knows: who completed so-and-so's performance today and received so much commission and bonus.

I have to say, it’s really exciting!

For the working people, nothing is more tempting than real money, especially the bonus given to the top sales person every day, which is really enviable!

As a result, more and more employees who needed money took action. They responded to the factory's call and braved the biting cold wind, either driving tricycles to drag cans or carrying cans on their shoulders to go to the university town, the vegetable market, the convenience store, and the county, town, and countryside markets to set up stalls and sell them.

As someone who grew up in the Longjingyuan Canning Factory, Liu Zicheng was very happy to see this situation. In the past, he felt uneasy when he thought about the canning factory going bankrupt. Now, all the staff of Longjingyuan have started to move, and the lifeless factory seems to have been injected with a shot of adrenaline, and it has suddenly come alive and regained its former bustling scene.

However, while Liu Zicheng was happy, what made him upset was that Li Yufei saw the factory workers selling canned food in full swing and she wanted to join in the fun.

Yesterday afternoon, the eldest princess of Longjingyuan said to him whimsically that they could try to sell canned food in the No. 1 Middle School in the city. She also said that now was a critical moment for the cannery's life and death. As soldiers who grew up in Longjingyuan, they would do their best to contribute. Moreover, many boarding students in the school could not afford the canned food of Longjingyuan. Now the promotion was so strong, it was also a benefit for them.

When Liu Zicheng heard this, he rejected it with every cell in his body. He felt uncomfortable whenever he thought about the looks his classmates might give him.

Selling canned food at school?

Squatting at the canteen door and shouting like a street vendor?

Damn it! I am the top person in the No. 1 Middle School in the city. With so many girls admiring me, do I still have any dignity left?
The actual situation was not like this. Yesterday, Li Yufei did not force him to sell canned food. She just asked, "Do you want to sell canned food together?"

Liu Zicheng nodded without any resistance.

As a veteran who has been following Li Yufei for more than ten years, no matter how reluctant he was in his heart, his actions were still quite honest. However, after he agreed, Li Yufei's next words made him quite uncomfortable: "Didn't Zhang Yunqi sell Tetris handheld games before? We can ask him how to sell canned food in school."

So, early in the morning, Liu Zicheng followed Li Yufei reluctantly, carrying two boxes of canned food from Longjingyuan. He planned to go to the canteen entrance at noon to see if he could sell them.

The main product of Longjingyuan Canning Factory is dried fish in black bean sauce, which is quite expensive, 2.5 yuan per bottle. However, this thing has never been cheap, the price has always been relatively high, and it is difficult to sell. The main reason is that the pace of life in China was slow at that time, the per capita income was low, and eating canned meat was a bit too luxurious, so it could only be used as a side dish and eaten occasionally.

Liu Zicheng moved the cans into the classroom. Many of his classmates were bored early in the morning and started to make a fuss, clamoring to open two cans and put them into the rice noodles for everyone to try.

Liu Zicheng was selling it in his heart, but he was grinning on his face: "This stuff is not mine, it belongs to the factory. I can't afford to give it away. We will have to pay for it later. I won't open it anymore. You can buy it if you want to eat it. It's 2.5 yuan a bottle. One bottle is enough for you to eat for a week, and it definitely tastes much better than the food in the small restaurants outside."

Li Yufei also said: "We are currently doing a promotion at Longjingyuan. The promotion is very strong. You can also scratch the lottery after buying it. The winning rate is very high. Moreover, a bottle of canned food can be eaten for a long time. Students who are studying in the boarding school can buy some to adjust the taste."

Zhang Yunqi was sitting at his seat eating fish noodles, observing the movements of Li Yufei and Liu Zicheng. He really didn't expect Li Yufei to do such a thing. In his mind, he kept thinking about the words that Li Yufei had repeatedly said to him when he was selling the Tetris handheld game console.

After a while of noise, Zhang Yunqi found that many people were joining in the fun at Li Yufei's place, but no one was really paying, so he tapped Wang Xiaokai's bowl with his chopsticks and said, "Kai'er, go buy a can of Chunjiang fish and mix it with the fish powder."

Wang Xiaokai had wanted to buy it a long time ago, so he held out his hand: “Money.”

Zhang Yunqi felt a pain in his anus: "You don't even have two dollars and a half? I don't have any money in my pocket today."

Wang Xiaokai had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and walk over.

Recently, he played arcade games all night long. He was so poor that he had to eat in the cafeteria every day. He was very lazy. However, after hanging out with Zhang Yunqi for a long time, his requirements for the quality of life were getting higher and higher. He searched in his pocket for a long time and took out a crumpled fifty-cent note. He was quite arrogant and slapped it on the desk: "Two dollars on credit and give me a can of food. I'll settle the bill with Boss Zhang later."

Liu Zicheng almost fainted from anger.

This guy is so shameless that he is unrivaled in the world.

The first transaction was bought on credit from the soles of my feet. Damn, how can I do business like this!
Li Yufei said nothing, but smiled, opened the box, took out a bottle and handed it to Wang Xiaokai, and reminded him: "There is a scratch-off sticker on the lid of the can, scratch it to see if you have won a prize."

Wang Xiaokai took the can and found the scratch-off area. He was a little skeptical: "Can this thing win a prize? What prize?"

Li Yufei nodded: "Yes, the chances are pretty high. Buy one bottle and get one free. Some people can win five or six bottles in a row. It's very worthwhile. You can try scratching it and see."

The students around all gathered together to watch Wang Xiaokai scratch the lottery ticket.

Wang Xiaokai scraped off the coating in two or three strokes. Before he could even open his mouth, the fat man next to him, Tian Zhuangzhuang, was already howling excitedly: "Another bottle! Yes, another bottle!"

Li Yufei smiled and handed another can of food to Wang Xiaokai.

When Wang Xiaokai scratched it, Tian Zhuangzhuang exclaimed in surprise: "Damn! I'd better have another one!"
