Mumu watched as the people took away the items brought by the Su family's children one by one, his eyes wide with disbelief.
What had these children done?
They had merely called out, smiled, and recommended to customers. They hadn't done much else.
But why were their goods selling so quickly?
Mumu couldn't believe it.
He felt that if he told anyone, they wouldn't believe him.
So many people had failed on this path.
Moreover, it was the New Year, and many people were buying New Year's goods before the holiday. This was a time when people lacked nothing.
Yet, the Su family's children, who had bought three thousand yuan worth of goods in wholesale, sold them off in less than half a day.
Unlike Mumu's disbelief, the Su family's children were excited about their success.
They busily discussed continuing to wholesale and make money the next day.
However, to Mumu's surprise, these children planned to change locations.
He had initially thought that since they had found success in one place, they would stick with it.
"The same place, the same goods, there won't be as many customers, so changing locations is the safest option."
Su Xiao Si was the one who proposed this idea.
Su Xiao Tian also agreed.
"Are you sure the next place will be as smooth?" Mumu couldn't help but ask curiously.
Su Xiao Tian shook her head, "How can we know in advance? But isn't that what business is like? If you don't have the basic spirit of adventure, how can you succeed?"
Mumu couldn't help but reflect. Had he been too conservative these past two years? If he had possessed such a spirit of adventure, would everything be different?
This night was also a sleepless one for Mumu.
The next day, when he accompanied the Su siblings to the market, Mumu proposed his idea to join them.
As he spoke, he felt a bit apprehensive, even worried that the Su siblings might object.
After all, one more person meant one more competitor.
"Sure, Mumu. We thought you wouldn't be interested in our small business."
Hearing Su Xiao Si's words, Mumu didn't know what to say.
A small business?
If he took out all his family's assets, it would only be three hundred yuan.
The group set off again. This time, they decided to stay out for one night and bring even more goods.
It was already afternoon when they arrived at Zhan City.
Mumu was familiar with several cities in the vicinity.
Zhan City had a night market, and doing small business there was safe, as no one would arrest people for speculation or profiteering.
The Su family children were delighted to hear this news.
The night market had good security and was orderly. As long as the stall fee was paid, there were no instances of bullying or monopolistic practices.
However, there were many people setting up stalls in the night market, and business was not easy.
They had been there for over two hours, and a lot of goods remained.
Seeing that the crowd at the night market was dwindling, Su Xiao Tian suggested, "Why don't we go back first? It looks like there's no one left."
Su Xiao Si was also getting sleepy, and he immediately agreed with Su Xiao Tian's suggestion.
"Third Uncle, let's go back. Xiao Tian is right, there's no point in staying here any longer."
"But we can't just have all this merchandise left unsold!" Su Lao San said hesitantly, looking at the remaining goods.
It was at this moment that Mumu realized that the Su family children truly couldn't predict what would sell.
"Let's try in front of the factories tomorrow," Su Xiao Tian said. "Dad, don't worry, we'll sell them eventually!"
Mumu was very worried. He had used all his family's money to buy the goods. If they didn't sell, his savings from the past two years would be lost.
Early the next morning, the group began doing business in front of various large factories.
Su Xiao Tian dressed Su Lao San in a suit and gave him a shiny watch, having him stand to the side as a model.
Su Lao San was tall and had a good build, and wearing a suit made him look quite imposing.
However, he felt very uncomfortable.
"Xiao Tian, wearing these clothes feels so strange. Besides, a suit is so expensive, I won't be able to sell it if I wear it."
Su Xiao Tian smiled, "If things go smoothly, perhaps the suit you're wearing will also be sold."
In later generations, many people in the clothing business would wear clothes to display them and then sell them.
When they arrived at the steel factory, they caught the first wave of people going to work. With Su Lao San as a living advertisement, the men at the steel factory became interested in suits.
It had to be said that Su Xiao Tian had a good eye. The suits she had chosen were very well-fitting, looking good on both thin and stout people.
Soon, all thirty-odd suits were sold, along with a dozen pairs of men's leather shoes and a dozen watches.
Not a single men's leather belt they had brought along was left.
The suit Su Lao San was wearing was also bought by a man of similar build.
When Su Lao San changed back into his old clothes, he was still surprised.
Xiao Tian said the suit he was wearing would sell, and it did?
Next, they headed to their second location, the meat processing plant.
In those years, meat processing plants were also wealthy enterprises.
However, unlike the steel factory, which was all men, the meat processing plant had a variety of goods for sale.
Basically, all the goods that Su Xiao Tian and the others had were sold.
Finally, all that remained with Su Xiao Tian and the others were women's dresses and stockings.
Looking at these items, Su Xiao Tian said, "There should be food factories or textile factories around here, right? If we go there, it should be resolved!"
Mumu nodded mechanically.
Indeed, in front of the food factory, all the remaining goods were cleared out, not even a single pair of socks left.
All the goods turned into money, and they didn't have time to eat, rushing to catch the last bus back to Rongcheng.
Mumu suddenly felt that it wasn't just luck, but also foresight.
The goods chosen by the Su family, upon closer inspection, all had unique qualities.
These children were truly good at business.
In the following days, they enjoyed making money as a group.
In the blink of an eye, it was the Lantern Festival.
Mumu was surprised to find that his assets had doubled.
The money was really coming in fast!
But the most surprised was not Mumu, but Su Lao San.
Su Lao San had never imagined that he could live such a life one day.
He was busy every day, but he felt fulfilled.
Indeed, doing business was the most profitable, much faster than his job as a truck driver.
Su Lao San felt a rare sense of being wealthy and generous.
He felt that by doing this, he could confidently say he had money by next New Year's.
If the poorest, Su Lao San, felt wealthy and generous, let alone the other children who were already richer than Su Lao San.
