Trip to Suzhou
Nothing can defeat you if you never give up.
The story is told by my best friend Jack.Half month ago ,Jack and several of his best friends had a visit to Suzhou ,Zhejiang province .They were not just a travel but take part in activities with primary school pupil from Qingdao .
About twelve hour’s travel ,they finally arrived there .After breakfast ,they began their activity .Each of them university students must accompany more than one pupil and they should help the pupil sell one bottle of water the highest price as they can .Besides ,the university students also have to sell a tin of beer to the highest price .
Both the water and beer were brought from Qingdao.
May 2nd ,as we all know ,the temperature is very high in south China .Firstly, they waited for bus with the big sun for half an hour .At the moment ,the pupil began to be inpatient .They have to try ways to make the pupils calm down .Finally the bus was coming ,but it was too crowd .When they got to the destination ,there were so many troops like them .How can we sell our water and beer ?Sellers are more than consumers ,it’s a big
problem .
Jack and his pupil partner Jim began selling their goods .Firstly, they went to an old couple, “excuse me, do you need water and beer?” “What water and beer?””The water and beer we brought from Qingdao Shandong province.” “Oh, really? How much?” “A bottle of water, at least 5 Yuan .And beer at least 10 Yuan.” “Oh, no, it’s too expensive, we can’t do it.” “But we can’t cut price.” “Sorry, we have something to do and we have to go.”
At the moment, a pair of youth people was coming, they went to them.” “Excuse me; do you need water and beer?” “Sorry, we have water and we don’t need any beer.” “But …..” Not until Jim finished his words, the youth had gone away.
After countle tries, they still didn’t sell them out.Jim cried, “I can’t sell it out and I didn’t want to sell it any more .I want to go home .I mi my mother.” “Oh, no, you can’t do it.Jim, you are boy and you’ll be a man .Man should be responsible and nothing will make man give up .Do you want to be a true man? So let’s have a try again, I believe you!” Jim stood up and wipe his tear, said, “Yes, I can do it!”
“Draw leons from the experience before, we should sell them by a new way.So we can sell it to foreigners.”
They went to a young foreigner, said, “welcome to Xi tang.And do you need water and beer?” “Beer? What beer?” “Oh, as you can see, it was
made in Qingdao, Shandong province .And we brought it here .So it’s very valuable.” “Oh, Qingdao, it’s a very beautiful city .I know it.Yes Qingdao has lots of beer.” “So you want to buy it?” “Oh, how much?” “At least 10 Yuan.” “10 Yuan? A little expensive.” “You may buy it 4 or 5 Yuan in Qingdao ,but now we are in Suzhou .It’s too far away.” “Ok, I’ll buy it with 20 Yuan, because I like Qingdao.” “Than you very much!”
After a little minute, Jim also selled out his water by this way.
So never give up when you face with difficulty .Nothing can prevent us to be succeful .
