1980s: I was reborn after being scumbag to death

Chapter 132 Disgusting people

The bus into the city leaves on time at 7:30 in the morning.

After her family started a business, in order to manage her time, Meng Changli also bought a watch. It was a domestically made one, not expensive, costing only over 70 yuan.

With a watch, I can do everything by looking at it, which is much more convenient than before.

When the two arrived at the station, the time was just right and the driver had arrived and was about to drive.

Meng Changli and Shen Chengyuan got into the car one after another. They looked up and sneered in their hearts.

Sure enough, the Ye family sent people out, including Ye Pingshun’s two sons, Ye Feng and his brother Ye Gaoshan.

These two people were sitting at the door and arrived earlier than them.

Was the news that Meng Changli was going into the city leaked?

No, probably not.

After all, only Meng Changli's family knew that she was going into the city.

So these people did not act according to the news, but instead waited here, every day. As long as Meng Changli got on the car, they would follow her. If the car left and she was still not seen, they would leave.

So disgusting!
If Shen Chengyuan hadn't been with her, Meng Changli would have been so angry and upset when she saw this situation.

The Ye brothers also looked a little unnatural when they saw Meng Changli.

Although this was a bus and anyone could ride it, the two men felt guilty about what they were doing and didn't even say hello.

Meng Changli didn't want to pay any attention to them and took Shen Chengyuan to the back of the carriage.

After they sat down, Shen Chengyuan said to Meng Changli frankly, "Sister Changli, don't worry. I've been to that part of the city a hundred or eighty times. I know every lane and street sign by heart. I can get rid of any monsters..."

This side of the school.

The exam is in the last week.

Even if Meng Shulan was worried about the things in the store, there was nothing she could do. She had to calm down and focus on her studies.

In the last monthly exam, because of her improved math scores, she ranked third in the grade, and the gap between her and the first and second place students was relatively small.

In this final exam, she hopes to improve further and become the first in the grade.

The final exam schedule is not as tight as usual and is scheduled on Saturday and Sunday.

No one from the Meng family came to visit her this week because they didn't want to disturb her.

Meng Shulan didn't go out either, and stayed in school to prepare for the final sprint.

It was the last moment of the semester, and everyone was in a similar state as her. They all wanted to get good grades to report to their families at the last minute. After a few days, it was quiet and nothing happened in the school.

On Sunday, after the morning exam, Meng Shulan returned to the dormitory, packed her things, and prepared to go back with her schoolbag.

As I walked down the stairs, I saw many students from lower grades packing their quilts and bamboo mats to take home.

The final exams are over. They will return to school in three days to check their grades and hold a meeting, and then they can have winter vacation to prepare for the New Year.

However, the college entrance examination class that Meng Shulan is in is not as fast as before. They still need to make up for the lessons and fight until the last moment.

However, the exam has just ended and the teacher needs to mark the papers, so he won’t be back to school until next Wednesday, so we have two and a half days off.

Meng Shulan handed in her paper early today. When she was leaving the school with her things on her back, there were many people coming and going in the town. It was market day and the town was bustling with activity.

Meng Shulan returned to the store. There were still a lot of things on the stall and many customers gathered around.

If it were in the past, the pants on the stall would have been sold out by this time.

Today was different. Although the pants were sold out, the newly added wool, scarves, hats, and large cotton shoes—items sourced directly from the city—were still selling. One of the strategies the sisters had come up with was to diversify the store's assortment and cope with early competition through diversity.

In this day and age, doing business is much simpler than in later generations. As long as you have a source of goods, you can make money. It’s just a matter of how much you make, so there is no need to be afraid of selling things.

Originally, Meng Changli didn't know where these things came from, but with Shen Chengyuan around, everything became simple.

Meng Shulan greeted the aunt who was guarding the stall and was about to go back to the yard when Meng Changli came out with her two children.

"Shulan, are you done with the exam?"

Meng Shulan nodded, "Sister, do you want to go out?"

"It's time. I'm going to the market to check it out and buy some vegetables."

Meng Changli took her sister's schoolbag down and placed it behind the stall for someone to take it in later when they were free. Then she pulled her sister's arm and said, "Come on, give me a hand."

Meng Changli smiled meaningfully, and Meng Shulan must have followed her.

After they walked a short distance, Meng Shulan asked, "Sister, what are you doing?"

Meng Changli: "Let's go see how the sales are going over there today."

This "over there" refers to the store opened by the Ye family and Hesai Junheqiu.

Meng Shulan: "Are they open over there?"

"It opened on Thursday. Just as we expected, they made the exact same thing we have at home. They had nothing else on the stall, so they just put this up for sale. They even said it was a grand opening sale, and it was fifty cents off our previous price."

Meng Changli snorted coldly. Those people were so cruel that they used price to steal business from the very beginning.

In this kind of situation where they hurt their own side while hurting the enemy by a thousand, have they ever considered the consequences of market disruption?

Meng Changli didn't know, and those people probably didn't think too far ahead. They just wanted to make as much money as possible.

but……

When talking about the Ye family's business on Thursday, Meng Changli covered her mouth and was about to laugh again.

"On Thursday, I asked someone to keep an eye on the goods. There were about 50 pieces. Although the price was a little cheaper than ours, they were still not sold out by the end of the day. It seemed that only half of them were sold.

The business last time wasn't what we expected. I wonder if they've made any adjustments or come up with any solutions today. Let's go take a look."

Only half of the fifty pairs of trousers were sold, which was indeed a lot less than the Meng family's business.

Of course, even if their business is average and sales are not good, it will still have an impact on the Meng family.

Fortunately, the two sisters had predicted this situation in advance.

As early as the day Meng Changli came to the city, which was Monday, when the Ye family's store had not yet opened, He Jinqiu and his men did a clearance sale in front of the store, selling more than 200 pairs of pants in popular colors at one time and lowering the prices.

Over the next two days, businesses in a nearby town sold all their recent stock in the same way.

On Monday, when Meng Changli went into the city, she had already started to reduce the quantity of fabrics in popular colors.

She has decided to avoid the ordinary track as much as possible and create her own characteristics and style.

As they were talking, they had arrived at the town entrance.

The Ye family’s stall was not in the middle of the street, and its location was a bit bad.

Location is very important for doing business. In addition, the Meng family had already met the needs of a large number of people before they opened their business. The Meng family has also been selling this type of pants for a long time. The market demand has been slowly decreasing. If the Ye family and Jose Jun follow them at this juncture, they will naturally not get any good results.
