Chapter 16 The first quarter Chang'an Migui

Let's say that Liu Xiugao was a lieutenant in the Imperial College, and he didn't want to be famous, but the world always came against him.On the day Liu Xiu left home, only ten of the hundred gold was taken, and the rest was left to his elder brother Liu Yan for his guest care.Although Liu Xiu knew that Liu Yan would still not get a penny, but this is a brother, he must keep the ninety gold, it has nothing to do with whether Liu Yan uses it or not. It's not easy to live in Chang'an if you don't want Migui.Liu Xiu had only been studying at the imperial university for a year, and there was not much money left. He could have asked for it by letter from his family, or asked his third cousin to help him, but after much deliberation, Liu Xiu decided to reluctantly get up from the bed, try a small knife, and earn his own living. .

Liu Xiu fixed her eyes on the city.Huishi is located in the northeast of Taixue. On the first day of each month, that is, the first day and the fifteenth day of the first day of the lunar new year, students from Taixue will be allowed to come here to set up stalls for business, and the products they operate are generally local products and scriptures from their hometowns. Biography, Sheng and Qing utensils and other things commonly used by students.Every time the market opens, looking around, there are hundreds of stalls and thousands of customers, bustling and bustling, which is spectacular.

Liu Xiu doesn't want to set up a stall like everyone else. How much money can I make by setting up a stall?His plan is to buy a donkey, rent it out, and do logistics. Anyway, there is still a long way to go from Taizhou to Huishi.Liu Xiu was very proud when he came up with such an idea, but he couldn't afford even the money to buy a donkey, so he found Han Zi in the same dormitory and dragged him into the gang.Han Zi's family was not well off, so when he heard Liu Xiu's proposal for the first time, he flatly rejected it.Liu Xiu was not discouraged, and described such a grand blueprint to Han Zi:

"We first jointly bought a donkey and rented it out to other people to pull things. When we have money, we will equip the donkey with a cart, and we will change the leased donkey into a taxi. When we have more money, we will expand the scale and engage in two Donkey carts, one for business, and one for self-sufficiency.” When Han Zi heard this, he was very excited, and shouted: "When we have a car, we will take it every time we go out. Damn, if you want to get in the car, you can get in the car, and if you want to walk, let the car follow." Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Calm down, calm down, this is just the beginning, good things are yet to come. When the business becomes more prosperous, we will set up another donkey caravan and send all our donkey caravans to the market, referred to as listing. You Say, how beautiful that is."

Who can resist the dream of going public.So Han Zi took out all his savings and joined Liu Xiu's business.The two raised funds to buy a donkey, and then asked their servants to lead it to the market to help people carry the goods, while they sat on the ground to collect rent. Liu Xiu's prediction was indeed correct. Once the donkey rental was launched, it quickly became very popular.However, there were immediate followers.For a while, donkeys in Chang'an were expensive.No wonder, the barriers to entry in this industry are too low, no matter you buy a donkey or you are a donkey yourself.

To make matters worse, their black donkey died suddenly and abnormally.The case can be solved without asking Sherlock Holmes: Some people are jealous of their business, so they poison and kill donkeys.Liu Xiu smiled wryly, shit, there are gangsters in Chang'an too. The donkey can't be resurrected after death, and Liu Xiu's dream of becoming rich also vanished in an instant.Liu Xiu tried everything to compensate Han Zi for his investment.Han Zi refused again and again, but Liu Xiu seemed to have a grudge against Qian and insisted on compensation, so Han Zi finally had to accept it.

The first investment in Liu Xiu's life was lost in this way. However, his life and living expenses still had to continue. Fortunately, Liu Xiu soon found a new business opportunity in Zhu You, a fellow from Nanyang. Zhu You, courtesy name Zhongxian, was born in Wancheng, Nanyang. His father died early, and his mother and son depended on each other for life. Their lives were quite difficult.After finally entering Taixue to study, Zhu You naturally cherishes it very much. Taixue is the only opportunity for him to rewrite the destiny of his life. Finish your homework before you start entertaining.

When he first entered Taixue, due to financial pressure, Zhu You also tried to start a small business of selling medicine.It stands to reason that the business of selling medicine will not be too bad. Besides, Zhu You's prescription was handed down from his ancestors, and the curative effect is surprisingly good. However, Zhu You's business is still declining day by day, and in the end he can only close Zhang Daji, comforting himself: : A gentleman is solidly poor. Liu Xiu, on the other hand, took a fancy to such a mess, so she approached Zhu You and discussed selling medicine together.Zhu You has long given up the idea of ​​getting rich, and pointed to the inventory in the corner, do you want to sell it?Take it, take it.Liu Xiu was not polite, she took the medicine and left. When she came back, the medicine was gone, but the money was in a big bag.

Zhu You was shocked. He didn't care about finishing his homework and ignored Liu Xiu's routine.Liu Xiu laughed loudly and said, "Brother Zhu, why is he arrogant and then respectful? How much money is it for me?" This is Liu Xiu, who can always keep an appropriate distance from others, so appropriate that she can molest her at any time without being yelled at for indecent assault.With a blushing face, Zhu You could only smile awkwardly.After Liu Xiu teased her, she said seriously, "Do you know why your medicine can't be sold?" Zhu You looked innocent, why?Liu Xiu replied, "Your medicine is too bitter."

Zhu You disagreed: "Good medicine tastes bitter, and it has always been like this since ancient times." Liu Xiu said with a smile: "If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will succeed. If you remain unchanged, how can you not be poor?" , to ask the secret.Liu Xiudao: "There is no secret, I just added some honey to the medicine, just do what people want." Zhu You was greatly disappointed, and said: "It's that simple?" Liu Xiu smiled and said: "You know that you and I are the biggest What's the difference?" Zhu You scratched his head and couldn't think of an answer.Liu Xiu laughed, walked away, and left a sentence: You are selling medicine, and I am selling taste.
