CHAPTER 37: CHAPTER 37: QIYUN CLOTHING STORE BULK PURCHASE

After not staying long at the wholesale market, Qin Yun soon left.

Time continued to pass. During the following period, Qin Yun kept an eye on matters at Celestial Fortune Clothing Store every day, without much worry.

Currently, his sister Qin Xuan is in charge of Celestial Fortune Clothing Store, alongside Qin Guodong and Zhao Mei, ensuring that nothing goes wrong.

Besides this, Qin Yun exercised a bit; previously, his physical fitness was only average, but now he noticeably felt that his physical condition was improving.

He even calculated that he could run 100 meters in under twelve seconds!

Earlier, his 100-meter time was around fourteen seconds.

Generally, someone able to run this fast could be trained as an athlete.

Apart from exercising, Qin Yun spent the rest of his time reading, focusing on financial books.

With the Wealth Gathering Array, his future held endless possibilities, and Qin Yun also needed to enrich himself.

...

By June 22nd, it had been two weeks since the college entrance exam, and only one day remained until the results were released.

Approaching seventy degrees, the weather was becoming increasingly hot. People on the streets hurried by, busy with life and work.

On construction sites, the sound of excavators continuously echoed, with workers bustling about.

Inside Qiyun Clothing Store, Sun Yadong and Sun Jianqiang were both present.

"Dad, you finally made the decision," Sun Jianqiang said excitedly at this moment.

"Yes, Jianqiang, you’re right. Switching entirely to high-priced clothing will make Qiyun Clothing Store more profitable," Sun Yadong said.

As he increased the range of high-priced clothing, the items sold also kept rising, boosting profits.

What convinced him was another customer today saying, "Boss, the choices in clothing styles are too few, aren’t they?"

Currently, he had twenty-three types of high-priced styles in the store, which isn’t too little, but not much either; one could see them all at a glance.

The majority were still reasonably priced clothes. However, the store could hold at least over eighty different styles of clothing.

He’d heard similar comments about the limited styles several times already.

If there were more styles, sales could likely increase. For every additional piece, he earned a few hundred yuan in profit.

"Jianqiang, let’s go to the wholesale market!" Sun Yadong said.

Once the decision was made, Sun Yadong didn’t hesitate anymore.

"Alright, Dad, this time, we must choose multiple styles," Sun Jianqiang said excitedly.

The father and son arrived at the wholesale market.

"Boss Sun, back for more stock?"

"Come check out our store; we’ve just received a new batch of goods."

Upon seeing Sun Jianqiang and his father, familiar faces greeted them with a smile.

With a smile on his face, Sun Yadong compared prices at different stores, though Sun Jianqiang remained unsatisfied with the pricing.

"Dad, let’s visit the factory," suggested Sun Jianqiang. "We buy in large quantities, and it’ll surely be cheaper to wholesale from there."

"Although factory clothing is cheap, many styles tend to be monotonous. Wu City is only so big, and for a variety of high-priced styles, it’s better to go to places like Hang City," Sun Yadong shook his head.

On the whole, his clothing store wasn’t big, nor did he wish to spend a lot of time searching slowly in other regions. Sourcing from the wholesale market was best, as profit margins ultimately played the determining role.

Now, continuous income for over half a month had convinced Sun Yadong that his clothing store was bound to be profitable!

Unknowingly, the pair found themselves at Zhang Qiang’s store.

Seeing the sign with written information, something stirred within Sun Yadong, and he walked over, saying, "Boss, how’s your clothing?"

Recently, Zhang Tao had been fretful, as his clothes garnered little interest. Even those who did inquire seldom bought. Upon seeing the duo, he casually greeted them.

After a brief look, temptation struck Sun Yadong. The clothing here was indeed good, and the prices quite reasonable, cheaper than elsewhere.

"Boss, how many styles do you have? If buying a lot, can there be a discount?" Sun Yadong asked.

Hearing this, Zhang Qiang’s heart skipped. He recalled the youth’s words from a few days ago, wondering if Sun Yadong could be that big client.

"Oh, I have many styles here. If you buy a lot, of course, we can negotiate better pricing." Zhang Qiang’s smile widened, becoming more hospitable.

As they browsed the clothing, after a while, Sun Yadong frowned slightly.

While the clothing here was indeed good, the quantity was large, and Zhang Qiang drove a hard bargain on the price.

"Boss Sun, my clothes sell very well. If it weren’t for an urgent issue, I’d never sell at such a low price. Where else in this market will you find clothes cheaper than mine? I don’t even sell to those who come to wholesale small quantities."

Zhang Qiang said with a smile, "If you buy only half, I’ll give you a five percent discount, but if you take it all, I can offer a fifteen percent discount."

Sun Yadong was tempted. With a fifteen percent discount, clothes retailing over a thousand yuan would only cost him around 300 yuan.

Selling just one piece would net him a profit of over seven hundred yuan.

As long as they sold a few items a day, they’d make a significant profit.

However, absorbing the stock required 700,000 yuan, yet he currently had only 400,000 yuan in total.

The store and so forth were fixed assets and couldn’t be converted into funds, plus he still needed to open the supermarket. This was already several years’ worth of savings for him.

A bit hesitant, Sun Yadong discussed the situation with his son.

To purchase it all, he would need to borrow 300,000 yuan from others.

"Oh, Dad, you’re a bit muddled now. If we snap up this batch, and the store is full of high-priced clothing, daily sales will surely rise. With such high profits, our return on investment will be swift!" Sun Jianqiang quickly said.

He was fully supportive.

To his son’s words, Sun Yadong finally made up his mind. He borrowed 300,000 yuan from his friends, who weren’t worried about repayment given his several stores.

Seeing that Sun Yadong was willing to buy it all, Zhang Qiang felt excited. Within half a day, they completed the entire transaction.

The clothes now belonged entirely to Sun Yadong, and all the money had been transferred to Zhang Qiang’s account.

With funds in hand, as soon as Sun Yadong left, Zhang Qiang didn’t hesitate to leave, catching a train back to his hometown.

...

Returning to Qiyun Clothing Store, Sun Jianqiang was incredibly excited, saying, "Dad, let’s display all the clothes!"

They eagerly swapped out the reasonably priced clothes and replaced them with various high-priced apparel.

Looking at the newly refreshed store layout, Sun Jianqiang said with anticipation, "Today’s income is sure to greatly exceed before."

Sun Yadong also wore a smile, waiting for the customers to arrive.
