Chapter 305 is just the beginning.
At noon, the factory closes for the day on time.
As soon as work ended, nearly a thousand workers from Xingda Toy Factory rushed out.
In addition, workers from several nearby factories all flocked to the food street.
The food street was immediately packed with people and bustling with activity.
Ma Junjie's storefront is located in the heart of the food street.
Anyone passing by can see this storefront at a glance.
GG was playing over Ma Junjie's loudspeaker, and he felt uneasy.
Many people pass by his door, but most are in a hurry, glancing at it at most before quickly leaving.
Liu Bingbing took a day off today to come and keep Ma Junjie company.
Seeing this, Liu Bingbing felt somewhat disheartened and frustrated.
"Brother Jie, this is completely different from what we expected!"
"It's been ten or twenty minutes, and there are definitely a lot of people, so why hasn't anyone come over to ask?"
"Is this product... difficult to sell?"
"Have we...have we messed up?"
Ma Junjie kept his composure, gazing intently at the bustling food street.
He thought for a moment, and could only say,
"Bingbing, don't worry."
"Everyone had been working all morning and was starving. They were eager to eat and had no time to pay attention to anything else."
"Wait a minute, let's wait a little longer..."
Liu Bingbing sighed helplessly.
"Well, that's the only way."
I waited for about half an hour more.
Those who had gone out earlier finished their meal and began to leisurely walk back.
In just a moment, a group of young people suddenly gathered in twos and threes in front of the door.
Someone asked,
"Is this an MP3 file?"
"What's that big thing? Is it a cell phone?"
Liu Bingbing introduced the product with a smile and then personally demonstrated it.
"Yes, the smaller one is an MP3 player, you can listen to music."
"The big one is an MP4 player; you can watch movies on it."
"There's also a memory card here with hundreds of songs and over a dozen movies, so you can listen to music and watch movies for free anytime, anywhere!"
After speaking, Liu Bingbing turned on a movie for everyone to watch.
The young woman was very interested in the MP3 player.
The young man was very curious about the MP4.
At this moment, a man, clearly very interested, asked very seriously,
"Can I download movies myself?"
Ma Junjie glanced at him; he was in his thirties, with greasy, shiny hair that looked like it hadn't been washed for days.
He was covered in fat, and his whole body looked somewhat bloated.
"Brother, of course!" Ma Junjie replied enthusiastically, taking out a card reader.
"We're opening today, so we're giving you a free card reader. Just insert your memory card and go to the internet cafe to download movies."
"After downloading, insert the memory card into the MP4 player, and you can start watching movies immediately."
The man who asked the question had his eyes light up.
Suddenly, he asked excitedly,
"So... it can show any kind of movie?"
"High definition...is that possible?"
Ma Junjie didn't understand why the man asked that, but he nodded nonetheless.
"Yes, we can play anything! Any movie is fine, even the highest definition ones."
The man was clearly very satisfied with what he heard.
He decisively pulled out the crumpled money from his pocket and asked anxiously,
"How much? I'll buy one."
"Try it first and see if you can watch in HD. If you can, I'll recommend it to my friends."
Ma Junjie smiled and nodded.
"The device is 199, the 1GB memory card is 49, and a card reader and a lanyard are included as a gift, for a total of 248 yuan."
The man didn't seem to care about the price; he simply counted out several hundred-yuan bills and handed them over.
Ma Junjie took the money and gave him change.
Seeing this, Liu Bingbing handed the packaged items to the man.
The man took it, turned around, and hurriedly left.
The girls watching seemed to enjoy the man's company.
I also felt that Ma Junjie gave me quite a lot of things, and more importantly, there were hundreds of songs downloaded on the memory card.
Without much hesitation, the group immediately took out their money and each bought one.
Then, business gradually improved without us even realizing it.
It wasn't until after 2 p.m. that the workers gradually started to return to work, and the area outside slowly became quiet.
When Ma Junjie and Liu Bingbing had some free time, they looked at each other and smiled.
At most, we only sold for an hour during lunch break.
After some discussion, Ma Junjie and Liu Bingbing surprisingly sold 20 MP3 players and 19 MP4 players.
Liu Bingbing was so excited that she hugged Ma Junjie tightly.
"Brother Jie, I feel like this deal is a done deal!"
Ma Junjie patted Liu Bingbing on the back and said,
"Bingbing, this is just the beginning."
"I have a feeling that tonight will be the climax."
Upon hearing the word "climax," Liu Bingbing burst into laughter.
She put her mouth close to Ma Junjie's ear,
Whispering playfully,
"Brother Jie, if we can sell more than 50 copies today, tonight... I can let you... from behind..."
Ma Junjie quickly swallowed.
He turned around and said a few words to Liu Bingbing.
Upon hearing this, Liu Bingbing's face instantly turned red to her neck.
The next second, however, he nodded eagerly, his face full of anticipation.
Next, the two tidied up the store, ate dinner early, and waited for the workers to get off work.
Around 7 p.m., the food street reached its peak in terms of foot traffic.
Many people work hard all day and like to stroll around outside after dinner to kill time.
Ma Junjie himself had worked in a factory, and he knew that factory dormitories were the most boring and dull places.
They either sleep or play cards; their entertainment options are very limited.
If you can listen to a song or even watch a movie, that would be a real treat.
Sure enough, a crowd soon gathered in front of Ma Junjie's store.
Many employees of Xingda Toy Factory also recognized Ma Junjie and Liu Bingbing and came to support them.
When Ma Junjie saw the sea of heads, he immediately knew things were looking promising.
In just half an hour, more than twenty machines were sold.
Around 10 p.m., Ma Junjie suddenly realized that the store was almost out of stock.
"Oh no!" Ma Junjie slapped his forehead and said to Liu Bingbing.
"There are still dozens more, they're stored in your storage room and we didn't bring them over!"
Liu Bingbing also sighed and said,
"Brother Jie, who would have thought that the products would sell out so quickly on the first day?"
"How about we call it a day? It's getting late, and we can continue selling tomorrow?"
Ma Junjie checked his phone; it was past 10 p.m., and there were indeed fewer people outside.
He thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, Bingbing, you've had a long day. Let's continue tomorrow!"
As he spoke, Ma Junjie prepared to pack up his things, close the door, and go home to calculate his day's earnings.
Just as I was about to turn around and go back into the store to close it,
Suddenly, Ma Junjie heard heavy, chaotic footsteps behind him.
A hurried voice followed.
"Hey, don't be in such a hurry to close the door and run away!"
Upon hearing the voice, Ma Junjie sensed that the visitor had ill intentions.
He quickly turned his head.
Upon closer inspection, four or five burly men were charging menacingly towards them...
