Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

As soon as she entered the store, a cool breeze swept over her, instantly dispelling the heat. The store's air conditioning was on full blast, and the stuffiness vanished, leaving Su Fengnan feeling refreshed.

As soon as the staff saw the customers enter, they immediately greeted them with a smile: "What would you two like to buy? We have washing machines, refrigerators, electric fans, air conditioners, and a full range of home appliances."

Before the other party could finish their introduction, Su Fengnan politely interrupted, "Let's take a look ourselves first, and we'll call you if we need anything."

The staff member was very friendly, nodding and smiling, "Okay, then take your time choosing, I'll be right here." After saying that, he stepped aside, maintaining a distance where he could serve you at any time.

Su Fengnan looked around and finally chose a Hisense single-door refrigerator. It had a simple and practical design, costing 1399 yuan. The store even generously included a small electric fan as a gift.

The staff member handed over the receipt: "Please leave an address so we can deliver the goods."

Su Fengnan took the pen, wrote down the address, and casually asked, "Approximately when will it be delivered?"

"Don't worry, we'll notify the warehouse immediately once payment is received. The delivery driver will call you before he/she departs; just be sure to answer the call."

"it is good."

When the two sisters returned home, their parents, Wen Xiaofen and Su Guoyuan, had already gone back to work at the factory.

Su Fengnan wasn't idle; she pulled her younger sister, Su Fengxia, to sit in front of the computer and began browsing various forums and early shopping websites. As she worked, she described to her sister the massive changes the internet was about to undergo and the excellent prospects for entering the e-commerce market now.

Su Fengnan knew that if she seized this wave of opportunities, making money would be a sure thing.

"Sis, so you bought two computers just for Mom and Dad to use in their shop?" Su Fengxia's eyes lit up.

"yes!"

"But will Mom and Dad be able to do it?"

"Don't worry about that, I'll take care of everything."

Su Fengxia was a girl who quickly adapted to new things. Listening to her sister's description of the future, she couldn't help but feel longing for it and immediately volunteered: "Sister, then I'll be in charge of teaching Mom and Dad how to use the computer! I want to do my part too."

"Okay, that was my original plan too."

The two sisters reached an agreement, and just then, the delivery driver arrived. After the refrigerator was installed and tested, Su Fengxia went into the kitchen to cook dinner.

Su Fengnan immediately contacted Taotao.com's backend to discuss opening a store. Learning that the entry requirements were now extremely low, she was eager to open her shop immediately. She retrieved her parents' ID cards and bank cards, and made a trip to the town's bank and printing shop, efficiently completing all the necessary procedures.

In the evening, the family sat down for dinner. Su Fengxia rushed to clear the dishes, while Su Fengnan placed his laptop on the table and began to formally explain science to his parents.

She patiently demonstrated the various functions of the computer—searching for information, reading books, shopping, watching movies, and even video conferencing…

Watching his daughter's fingers fly across the keyboard, switching between images on the screen with ease, Su Guoyuan couldn't help but exclaim, "The country is developing so fast! There are new things everywhere. The future truly belongs to you young people!"

"Dad, you're not old at all!" Su Fengnan joked with a smile.

"Hey, how could we possibly understand all this high-tech stuff? You young people are so lucky," Wen Xiaofen chimed in, her eyes filled with both pride and awe for the unknown.

"Dad, Mom, I want to open an online store. I've figured out the whole process today." Su Fengnan clicked on a crown-level store selling digital products on Taobao. "Look, I just need to take pictures of the things I want to sell and upload them. People who need them will see them and place an order."

She knew that real e-commerce operations were far more complex than that, but she could only explain it in plain language that her parents could understand. Then, she went on to analyze the future of the internet, market competition, and the consumption habits of young people in a clear and concise manner.

After listening to her explanation, Su Guoyuan was stunned. He thought to himself that this eldest daughter who had gone to high school was indeed knowledgeable and her analysis was very logical.

"Hmm, Mom, I think Xiaonan's idea is reliable. We can let her give it a try."

Wen Xiaofen hesitated, "But she's still a student..."

"Mom, you and Dad should get involved too, just as a side job to help me out. If it gets too big, you can take over, but I still have to study."

Su Guoyuan realized that his daughter was trying to find a way to help the family, and he felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He immediately gave his approval.

"Oh, right, Mom, I also prepared a cell phone for you." Su Fengnan got up, took a PHS phone from the shelf, and handed it to Wen Xiaofen.

Wen Xiaofen felt a warm glow in her heart, but the thought of money made her feel a pang of heartache: "Xiaonan, you bought a refrigerator and a cell phone today, you must have spent a lot, right? You're going to open a shop, you need to keep your inventory costs! Don't spend money recklessly in the future, be more frugal. Your dad already has a cell phone, why did you buy me this? It's unnecessary."

"I know, Mom. This is absolutely necessary. Once the online store is up and running, both your and Dad's phone numbers will need to be linked. You'll see later."

Su Fengnan knew that her parents' combined income was only 2,500 yuan at the moment. Yesterday they bought a computer, today they bought a refrigerator and a mobile phone. The more than 10,000 yuan they spent was equivalent to half a year's savings. No wonder Wen Xiaofen was in pain.

But she knew even better that in the early stages of internet entrepreneurship, a business that could be started with just a few thousand dollars was incredibly lucrative.

"Dad, is your factory busy? I'm planning to sell clothes. Can you come with me to the wholesale market first thing tomorrow morning to get the goods?"

"Great! We just finished this batch of goods, and the boss gave us three days off. I was originally planning to take you guys out for some fun, but now I can be your helper."

Su Fengnan was overjoyed; this was like a pillow delivered just when she was sleepy!

"Okay, our whole family will go tomorrow!"

With the support of her whole family, Su Fengnan was full of energy, constantly refining her plan in her mind: what styles to sell, how to decorate the store, who would be the models, who would take the photos... She had a plan in mind, it was just a matter of spending money, and the initial investment was necessary.

Finally, with the plan in place, Su Fengnan was in high spirits. Before going to bed, she wrote for another hour before finally falling asleep contentedly.

……

Su Guoyuan's three-day vacation was meticulously planned by Su Fengnan.

On the first day, the family rode their bicycles straight to the wholesale market early in the morning.

The clothing market of this era was quite fashionable, with a dazzling array of styles and products. After browsing around for a while, Su Fengnan keenly spotted the hottest trend of the past two years—white T-shirts printed with various celebrity portraits.

"Factory direct sales! 5 yuan a piece! Come and choose, come and see!" The vendors' shouts rose and fell.

After pondering for a while, Su Fengnan had a flash of inspiration—heat transfer printing technology! It can not only print words, but also print all kinds of intricate and exquisite patterns.

This memory originated from her previous life, when, out of curiosity, she took advantage of the increasing prevalence of the internet to specifically search for related information on Baidu. Although some past events have been covered in dust, once that specific switch is touched, the sealed memories surge forth like a tide, as clear as yesterday.

Lost in thought, Su Fengxia felt a gentle tug on her arm. Pointing to the stall, her eyes lit up with delight, Su Fengxia exclaimed, "Sister, these T-shirts are so cheap!"

"Hmm, do you like it? If you do, buy one and wear it."

Su Fengxia hurriedly shook her head: "Buying one piece alone would definitely cost more than 5 yuan; this should be the wholesale price."

Su Fengnan chuckled, her eyes full of approval: "Hmm, not stupid after all."

"Isn't it obvious?" Su Fengxia said with some pride.
