Chapter 15

Yu Shiying had no idea that Du Feibai was secretly teasing her. She was talking to Qiaomei about the preparations to be made next when she suddenly looked up and found Du Feibai looking at her.

Oh, I almost forgot about Young Master Du. There is still a ready-made labor force available.

“Sister Yu, why do you print so many things?”

“Of course I sell it!”

Sell? !

Yu Shiying plans to sell cardboard printed with pictures of the “Four Major Items”.

The “four big gadgets” in the early years were a radio, a bicycle, a sewing machine and a watch, which the older generation collectively referred to as “three turns and one ring.”

In recent years, small household appliances have swept the market, and the new “four major items” have become popular: color TVs, refrigerators, washing machines and tape recorders.

It’s just that the “four major items” are used as gifts and dowries when newlyweds get married.

What is the use of cardboard printed with pictures of the “four major items”?

For burning.

Then who should we sell it to?

Sell ​​to the dead!

? !

In fact, they are sold to families where someone has died.

If someone in the family passes away, according to custom, paper money, gold ingots and paper figurines should be burned.

No one has ever burned the “four major items” made of paper.

It’s not because no one burns it, it’s because no one sells it.

On the way back to Hangzhou from Sanping Village, Yu Shiying saw someone holding a funeral and burning paper money for the elderly in the family.

When she saw Du Feibai a few days ago, she suddenly thought: In the future, in addition to paper money, many people will burn cardboard models of mobile phones, cars, and watches for their deceased relatives.

Yu Shiying’s business idea is to sell these cardboards printed with pictures of the “Four Major Items” to funeral shops that make paper coffins.

He became a wholesaler himself and used funeral shops as retail outlets to open up sales channels.

Just now she was still worrying about how she could quickly find out the address of the funeral shop in the city within two days.

In this era, it is really inconvenient to not have electronic maps.

You can only ask for directions by mouth.

Now, Du Feibai can be of great use.

Yu Shiying gave Qiaomei and Du Feibai two maps of Hangzhou, which she bought early in the morning.

Within two days, she wanted Qiaomei to find out all the funeral shops in the five administrative districts of Hangzhou’s main urban area: Shanghang, Xiahang, Gongshu, Xihu, and Jianggan Districts;

Because Du Feibai had a sidecar, he went to the surrounding counties: Yuhang, Sushan, Anlin and Yangfu to conduct a survey.

Qiaomei had never seen or heard of such things being sold to the dead.

If I burn it for them, will they be able to receive it?

But she just did whatever Yu Shiying asked her to do.

Qiaomei agreed readily.

But Du Feibai was not happy: “Why do you ask me to go? I won’t go. That kind of place is very scary.”

“We don’t need you to go in. We just need to know the location and mark it on the map.”

“No!” Du Feibai acted as if he was saying, “I’m not going, what can you do to me?”

Yu Shiying rolled her eyes at him and said, “Okay, then I’ll tell my mom that you helped Hu Shudan beat me up the other day.”

“You! Didn’t you agree not to mention this?” Du Feibai’s face fell. “Besides, how could I hit you?”

Yu Shiying raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

On Du Feibai’s scale, on one side is the fear of mysterious things, and on the other side is the awe of Teacher Sun. Which one is more important?

After 3 seconds of fighting between heaven and man, the ghost was defeated.

It’s more important to stay alive first.

Du Feibai had no choice but to agree dejectedly.

“Besides, don’t you still have your brothers? Treating them to good food and drinks so many times and asking them to run errands shouldn’t be a difficult task, right?”

Du Feibai was awakened by Yu Shiying. Yes, he still has two brothers.

“I won’t let you run errands for nothing. I’ll pay you for your services when we make money.”

After hearing this, Qiaomei said that she didn’t want the money, but Du Feibai didn’t believe a word of it.

Du Feibai heard Qiaomei say that Yu Shiying only had 100 yuan.

He can’t even pay his uncle’s final payment, and yet he’s still paying him labor fees?

Even if you use your toes to think about it, you will find that this matter is unreasonable.

Forget it, it’s his fault that Yu Shiying has his little braid in his hand.

After the three of them finished their meal, they went their separate ways.

Yu Shiying is going to design the printing layout of the “four major items”.

The original owner studied at a normal college. Although his main major was English, he also studied music and art.

This was the case for all students in normal colleges during this period. In addition to their professional courses, they also had to take some art courses.

This will make it easier for you to become a teacher in the future, as you can teach both main subjects and auxiliary subjects.

Therefore, Yu Shiying’s artistic skills are pretty good.

There is no problem in drawing the “four major items”.

Yu Shiying planned to paint both the old and new “four major items”, but she didn’t know which one would sell better.

It just so happens that 8 pictures can be printed on 8-inch paper.

As soon as Yu Shiying got home, she looked for calendars, newspapers and magazines at home to look for sample inspiration and the black and blue color combination. It took her an entire afternoon to finish the first draft.

Just waiting for the two teams to hand in the maps.

Yu Shiying quickly found Du Qi the next day to finalize the version.

Du Qi was quite surprised: “The girl is very motivated. Didn’t they say it would take two days? How come she got it in just one night?”

“Uncle Du, when it comes to business, you have to strike while the iron is hot.”

At first, Yu Shiying had planned to go and find out the details herself, which was why she said it would take a long time. However, with Du Feibai helping her, she could concentrate on the design.

Besides, this thing doesn’t need to be designed to be exquisite or high-end, as long as anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it is one of these objects.

“Uncle Du, can you help me with something else?” Yu Shiying asked a little embarrassedly.

“Tell me about it.”

“I only have 100 yuan now. Can I pay the balance 5 days after receiving the goods?”

“So that’s what it is. No problem. I’ll explain it to the finance department.”

Payment in full is of course the method most preferred by sellers, but selling on credit is not uncommon in the market.

There are also monthly, quarterly, and even year-end settlements. Yu Shiying had only been working for five days, and it was only 100 yuan, so it wasn’t a big deal.

But this girl is very brave. Even though she doesn’t have that much money, she dares to pay the debt and print the things.

It seems that he is very confident in his own prints.

Du Qi introduced Yu Shiying to the plate-making master and greeted the director of the printing workshop before leaving.

Yu Shiying paid the deposit to the finance department and went to discuss with the plate-making master.

She has to communicate every detail with the pattern maker in detail until she is satisfied with the sample.

This is her first business, so of course she has to keep an eye on it.

Time is money, and she must print this batch of paper as soon as possible.

Printing takes a day, and it also takes time for Qiaomei and Du Feibai to travel between the city and the county.

Once this batch of finished products is printed, it will take time to cut them.

The printing factory has a large knife for cutting edges, but their workshop doesn’t have enough staff to do it, so Yu Shiying has to do it herself.

Looking at the big paper cutter, Yu Shiying felt that her hands were probably going to be crippled before she even started working on it.
