Get the perfect music system at the start

First, I don't understand it; second, I don't know how to make money quickly.

He only had 128 yuan on him. What could he do with that?

He thought of his previous profession before his rebirth: a real estate agent, or broker.

At that time, Beike, which would later become worth 60 billion yuan, had not yet emerged. Its predecessor, Lianjia, had only been established for a year and was 800 kilometers away from its city.

He wanted to open a real estate agency, but with only 128 yuan, it was useless. But this could be a future direction. What about now?

His gaze shifted from nearby to the distance...

Perhaps it was a stroke of luck, or perhaps fate was truly on his side, but he saw an old man shaking a rattle drum and pushing a bicycle.

Clang! Clang!

At that moment, Xu Fan thought the voice was melodious and beautiful, truly perfect.

The old man's bicycle was tied with all sorts of small items.

There were hair ties, beanbags, shuttlecocks, pea candies, and milk candies for girls.

There were cassette tapes, glass beads, steel rings, and pirated notebooks with stills of the main characters from Meteor Garden that boys liked.

Xu Fan ignored all of that; he only knew what he should do when he saw the bicycle.

This method may not be fast at making money, but at least it can multiply your 128 yuan several times.

Selling small commodities—this idea seems a bit far-fetched, but we have to give it a try.

Xu Fan used to be a real estate sales agent, but after all, he is a 38-year-old middle-aged man. Before becoming a real estate agent, he, like most young people, had started his own business more than once.

Although they all failed in the end, they still gained some experience.

It seems that Mr. Ma also started his business with small commodities, but that must have been a few years ago.

Several years later, Xu Fan wants to try doing this in a different way.

After this idea came to him, he rode his bicycle back to school at breakneck speed; he needed to find someone to help him.

At the school gate, groups of students from the teachers' college brushed past each other. These days, not many people wear makeup, and the girls without makeup all looked very pretty.

Xu Fan didn't pay attention. He locked his bicycle in the bike shed and rushed into his dormitory.

The dormitory is empty.

He then remembered that today was the school's orientation meeting for new students, and his three roommates were all in the student council, so they should have all attended.

I went back to my hometown and completely forgot about it. No wonder there were so many men and women in groups when I entered the school earlier. So that's why.

Xu Fan remembers clearly that the school started a month earlier in 02 than in later years, with new students entering the school in August.

Thinking about the arrival of the new students, his smile deepened; the idea might be even better than he had imagined.

Since none of my roommates are here, I'll go check out the wholesale prices of small commodities first.

He gritted his teeth, checked the 128 yuan on his person to make sure it wasn't lost, then ran out again and rode his bike to the Ninghai Wholesale Market.

What makes a person human is that they can contemplate the value of their existence and do meaningful things to achieve that value.

Xu Fan now clearly understands the meaning of his existence, so making money is the most important thing right now.

Xu Fan's memories of his previous life are still vivid. After his rebirth, he only has these memories; he has nothing else or any cheat codes.

When he was reflecting on his rebirth, he also thought about such magical things as systems, but he didn't.

What he has is a friendship that he must cherish; the other three people in the dormitory were once his closest brothers.

It was strange back then; every time I met someone, I thought it could last a lifetime, but in the end, only a few remained.

Okay, before his rebirth, Xu Fan spent all his savings, sold his house and car, took out loans, and borrowed money to treat his mother's illness.

His three roommates helped without hesitation, even though it was still a drop in the ocean compared to his mother's illness, but they did it anyway.

Therefore, Xu Fan was sincerely grateful to them.

What was even stranger back then was that friendships could be pure, and love could be peaceful. There seemed to be few instances of people going to great lengths for each other, but there were many instances of couples going all out. There were naturally many couples who argued, but more couples who remained respectful to each other and stayed together until the end were the ones who truly got by.

Of course, back then, most relationships were arranged by family members, which would be called blind dates nowadays.

When Xu Fan rode his bike to the wholesale market, he thought about many things: friendship, love, and the future.

Of course, he had been thinking about it every day these past few days, and how the reborn people in those stories could always calmly face their rebirth.

But in reality, Xu Fan couldn't remain that calm; for him, it was truly terrifying and unbelievable.

The Ninghai Wholesale Market, located in the northern part of Ninghai City, has seventy or eighty businesses. Most of the small shops and stores in the city source their goods from here.

Xu Fan went to a shop he frequented in his previous life without any trouble.

If he hadn't thought of small commodities, Xu Fan probably wouldn't have thought of this shop. Now that he had, he wanted to do something about it.

There are always some regrets in a person's life that they cannot undo, but now he has this opportunity.

The owner of this wholesale store is surnamed Liu, and he is in his thirties. He doesn't even recognize himself yet.

In his previous life, he first went there this winter, but due to some things, he arrived here ahead of schedule.

Xu Fan didn't know what Boss Liu's name was, but he still had to greet him.

Upon entering, Xu Fan called out, "Is Boss Liu here?"

When Xu Fan saw Boss Liu, he was somewhat dazed. Unlike the excitement he felt when he saw his parents, he felt a sense of relief instead.

Although his face was somewhat rough, he seemed to be in good health and a good mood. But Xu Fan knew that this was the man who would spend the rest of his life in prison early next year after killing someone in a drunken accident.

Xu Fan never saw Boss Liu again, but he knew Boss Liu's daughter, that stubborn woman who couldn't be persuaded even by ten oxen, who once cried in front of him.

These things happened too long ago, and Xu Fan didn't think about them too much anymore, because Boss Liu had already asked him questions.

"Young man, is there anything you'd like to buy?"

"I'd like to stock up on some school supplies."

Xu Fan walked straight in, sat down on a wooden stool as if they were old friends, and said, "I heard that you can do small-batch wholesale here, Mr. Liu!"

Xu Fan's words surprised Boss Liu. He felt that Xu Fan's face was somewhat unfamiliar, but his friendly manner and the fact that he knew Xu Fan's surname was Liu made him wonder if Xu Fan was an old customer.

The key point is that Xu Fan directly stated that it was a small batch, which is rare for customers. Usually, the price is discussed first, and then the quantity is discussed. After all, this way, customers who are buying in bulk can save some money.

At least that's how they perceive it, so Xu Fan's straightforward approach makes you genuinely curious about this young man who looks like a student.

The most important thing is that, due to some business matters, he only made a decision yesterday to prepare for small-batch wholesale in the future.

Xu Fan spoke directly, saying he had heard it from someone.

It seems that only the market supervisor in charge of retail commerce at the municipal bureau knows about this.

Could it be that Cheng Du said this to the guy in front of him?

The decision to make yesterday was actually based on Cheng Du's advice. They weren't that close, but after years of working in the market, some relationships, plus the drinking culture, led Cheng Du to bring up this matter with him at least once over drinks.

He remembered that Cheng Du had been drinking at the time, grabbed his shoulder, and said, "Brother, the outside world is vast. When doing business, you have to learn to be flexible. If the volume is large, the profit may seem small, but the total is much greater. Let me tell you, the merchants in Yiwu have made a fortune because they can accept small-batch wholesale."

In 2002, many wholesalers were doing wholesale for small shops, with minimum order amounts and quantities. There had to be some initial amount.

However, the wholesale business in Yiwu has already included small-batch retail and wholesale, such as three or five items that can be taken away at wholesale prices.

This is a risky and busy business, and Mr. Liu is unsure whether it will be profitable. He thought about it for a long time before deciding to give it a try yesterday. Today, someone came up to him and got straight to the point.

This filled him with suspicion, but he still smiled and asked, "What is your surname, young man?"

Xu Fan didn't think that much about it, and naturally he didn't know that things didn't turn out the way he expected. He also didn't know that Boss Liu had imagined a lot of things because of one sentence he said.

Xu Fan spoke up for only one reason: his memory was still a bit hazy. He remembered that he was brought here by his best buddies in the dormitory the first time, and the four of them got a lot of things at wholesale prices.

But looking back now, it's really strange that none of them had the idea of ​​doing business at the time.

So he said that because he thought Mr. Liu had been doing it all along, but he didn't expect that he had only made the decision yesterday. So when he heard Mr. Liu ask him, he still said very seriously, "My surname is Chen. Mr. Liu can call me Xiao Chen."

Upon hearing Xu Fan's answer, Boss Liu secretly understood that this young man surnamed Chen must be related to someone, but he didn't know what that relationship was.

Xu Fan had no idea that Boss Liu had already conflated Chen and Cheng into one surname. Boss Liu didn't even ask which Chen it was. Although he was the boss, frankly speaking, he was only a fifth-grader and never thought that the two surnames had the same pronunciation.

So he looked Xu Fan up and down before saying, "Our shop can indeed do small-batch wholesale. What items does Xiao Chen want? The price is negotiable."

===Chapter 890 Like That Day Before===

The world is fair to everyone, whether it's Xu Fan or Han Zilu. Their love for each other has always been hidden in their hearts. At this moment, they both feel it, but neither of them has said it.

Behind every story lies silence; most people keep their love hidden in their hearts. Xu Fan's song isn't actually about love, but rather simple encouragement.

He knew that Han Zilu was grieving over her father's passing, and he thought that a song like this might help her. Han Zilu could understand that.

So when he heard Xu Fan's song at that moment, he was deeply moved.

The most important aspect of this feeling is a sense of security, the feeling of being protected and comforted, which is truly blissful. It reflects a deep-seated fondness for Xu Fan, especially when this song is sung.

The simple lyrics truly gave him a sense of hope. Whether he prayed for a transparent heart and tearful eyes, the final result was the same: in this night, in this darkness of confusion.

The ability to suddenly think of you, though darkness may not illuminate my path forward, the moon and stars in the night sky will always guide me on how to go further.

For Han Zilu, her father's passing is a fact, so what she needs to do next is to do her best to do better, both for herself and for others.

The live stream was already buzzing with excitement, both on Douyin and other platforms, because many people were watching the performance from the Oriental Pearl Tower.

They all opened the apps they usually logged into on their phones, so at that moment, countless viewers from countless platforms flooded into the live stream room at the same time.

I watched Xu Fan sing this simple song, which he sang for Han Zilu. But at this moment, there were more than just one person listening to it, because countless viewers in the live broadcast room heard it and felt the same way.

Guided by the brightest star in the night sky, I felt a completely new sense of hope, and suddenly everyone felt that the road ahead was smooth.

The story may seem unable to determine the final outcome, but in reality, many things can always inspire people to move forward, such as encouragement from someone, a certain sentence, a certain song, a certain lyric, or a sudden handshake from someone.

Regardless of the final outcome, at least many times, many people can be more courageous in the face of danger and difficulties because of certain words or events.

Dreams are sometimes like this: the brightest star in the night sky may be the dream in our hearts. No matter how difficult the road ahead, as long as we give it our all, we will surely reach the end.

The live stream of this lesson was filled with countless desert-like comments and discussions, with messages constantly flooding every room.

"I never imagined that one day I would hear a song like this, so incredibly beautiful. It's not just because I was moved, but because Xu Fan's simple voice made me feel a pure love for music."

"This song sings of hope, sings of the future. Perhaps the person I love is already a star in the sky right now, and this is the brightest one."

"Though I am darkness, I entrust you to be the brightest star in the night sky. My beloved, you must light up the way forward and illuminate my world. I don't know why, but when I hear this song, my tears flow uncontrollably. I believe it must be because the person I love is watching me from afar."
