Lin Dongzhe was a clever little rascal full of bright ideas. After spending a long time in the ivory tower of the campus, his eyes darted around and he spotted a hidden business opportunity.
One day, he pulled Xiao Ting aside, his face brimming with excitement, his eyes sparkling as if they held stars. "Xiao Ting," he said, "look at all the bustling shops around our school. The usage of plastic bags is through the roof! If we create something unique, infused with Shanghai flavor, and sell it, we’re bound to succeed!"
Xiao Ting blinked her big round eyes in confusion, her mouth slightly agape. "Is that really possible? But how do we make it special?"
Lin Dongzhe chuckled and scratched his head, exuding confidence. "It's simple! We just need to print phrases like 'Shanghai Style' or 'Impressions of Shanghai' on them, along with simple illustrations of the Bund and the Oriental Pearl Tower. Tourists will find them interesting, and locals will feel nostalgic. They'll definitely be popular!"
Without hesitation, they set out to gather information and eventually found a small factory that offered affordable custom printing. Pooling their pocket money together, they bit the bullet and ordered several hundred uniquely designed plastic bags.
On the day the goods arrived, they carried heavy bags and made their first stop at a small snack shop near the school gate. Lin Dongzhe took a deep breath at the entrance, adjusted his expression, and stepped inside with a beaming smile. The owner was busy frying skewers in hot oil when he looked up and asked, "What can I get for you, students?"
Lin Dongzhe waved his hands dismissively and pulled out a few plastic bags from his pack as if showcasing treasures. With enthusiasm radiating from him, he said, "Boss, take a look at these bags! They’re custom-made with iconic Shanghai architecture printed on them. Just think about it—using these for takeout not only makes it convenient for customers but also serves as advertising for your shop. It adds a unique flair compared to those ordinary bags, and the price is absolutely reasonable!"
The owner took the bags and examined them closely; his eyes lit up with interest. "Hmm, they do look good. But how much do they cost?"
Lin Dongzhe was prepared for this question and quickly quoted a price slightly above their cost but still much cheaper than other fancy bags on the market. Xiao Ting chimed in beside him with a clear and sincere voice: "Boss, we’ll supply you regularly. If there’s even a tiny quality issue, we’ll replace them without delay—no impact on your business!"
After some consideration, the owner nodded in agreement and confirmed their first order.
With their initial success under their belts, Lin Dongzhe and Xiao Ting felt invigorated as if they had been given a shot of adrenaline. They began approaching shop after shop. Some store owners dismissed them outright; others were swayed by their enthusiasm and persuasive words.
After several days of hard work, they counted their earnings and were thrilled to find they had made a substantial amount of pocket money. Lin Dongzhe looked at the extra cash in his wallet and excitedly threw an arm around Xiao Ting's shoulders with a wide grin: "This idea is brilliant! We’re definitely going to make even more money in the future!"
Just then, Zhuang Tunan came looking for Lin Dongzhe to play basketball. Upon seeing them counting their stock of plastic bags, curiosity piqued within him as he learned about their venture. His eyes lit up as he slapped his thigh excitedly: "Hey! This is such a great opportunity! Why didn’t I join you? I know quite a few shop owners on the back street; my connections are extensive! Let’s expand this business!"
Lin Dongzhe and Xiao Ting exchanged glances before happily agreeing. From that moment on, the three worked together like well-oiled gears—Lin Dongzhe handled communication with suppliers while strictly overseeing bag quality; every delivery felt like unboxing treasures as he meticulously inspected each batch; Xiao Ting kept detailed accounts and organized inventory with precision; Zhuang Tunan leveraged his connections to expand their customer base, effortlessly charming shop owners with his smooth talk about the benefits of their bags.
In the following weeks, they were busy running around delivering goods through rain or shine. Each time they saw shops using their plastic bags and customers leaving satisfied with their purchases, they exchanged glances filled with pride and accomplishment. Their wallets gradually grew fuller while their friendship deepened through shared efforts—stronger than ever like saplings thriving in springtime, reaching toward greater heights together.
