Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband
Chapter 551 - 535:
CHAPTER 551: CHAPTER 535:
Lin Wan also called Sister Zhao. She talked about the promotional activities here.
Although the goods on Sister Zhao’s side were not easy to sell, she did not have the intention to return them like Director Wang.
Seeing the new goods were available and cheap, Sister Zhao ordered two hundred sets.
Next, Lin Wan compiled a list of the stock that was high from the previous batch.
Also, she paired them up, selling them as a set, getting two at a time, and Lin Wan reduced the profit by one yuan.
Once these activities were launched, some merchants seized the opportunity and stocked up on a lot of goods.
This style wouldn’t be outdated even if sold for two years.
Besides these, Lin Wan also asked Old Yang to get a batch of denim material back to her. Last year’s jeans sold very well, and Lin Wan plans to make another batch today.
Actually, denim jackets are also quite nice, but this season is not quite suitable for selling them.
Lin Wan also added two styles of jeans.
Now, in their shop, they have a variety of styles and products, with prices ranging from three yuan to twenty yuan. They cover every level.
Besides promoting in the store, Lin Wan also made a trip to the newspaper office, spent fifty yuan on a noticeable spot on the second page, and placed an ad. Lin Wan plans to do it once every fortnight.
Besides these, she also spent two hundred yuan to do a one-month broadcast in a popular radio station in the province.
Suddenly, most people in S Province knew about their Wanyi Clothing Wholesale Store.
Within three days, many people from other counties in the province, having seen the business opportunity, came over with money.
For a while, the shop was bustling with customers. Shi Lan was busy with her pickles these days, Mom had to go to the store, and Granny had to work, so she could only help take care of the kids on Sunday. With no other choice, Lin Wan sent the child over to Aunt Jin.
Yin Peibai and Su Ling were busy with work during the day, so only Lin Wan could help out at the store.
Now at the store, Ye Zi and Lu Lu each brought two of their little buddies. Each takes two days to stay at the store.
The rest continued knitting sweaters at the orphanage.
At the store, Lin Wan saw a young guy putting money in his underwear pocket because it was inconvenient to take out. Embarrassed, he let us cover him with a wide cloth.
This made Ye Zi and the other two little girls blush and not dare to look up.
This young guy was not very old, having just dropped out of school and staying at home, busying himself with small businesses but not knowing what to do.
The fifty yuan on him was saved from a year of thriftiness.
"Boss, could you give me a discount on these clothes? See, I’m just a young guy trying to sell clothes outside, which is not easy. Your clothing is the origin of my entrepreneurship, sister, you have to support me. Maybe, because of your kind support, I’ll become a millionaire in the future."
The girls beside him could not help but cover their mouths and laugh at the cheeky man.
"With fifty yuan, you can’t get many clothes. We wholesale with a starting batch of twenty pieces, you don’t have enough." Lin Wan laughed.
"Sister, dear sister, I came all the way, sat on a car for a day to get here, it wasn’t easy. On the way, I was afraid that someone would steal my money. Please, let me get a few pieces this time, please make an exception, wait until I sell a few clothes, I’ll definitely take more later."
Lin Wan saw that he wasn’t here to make trouble but sincerely wanted to do business. With fifty yuan, he took eight sets of goods home. A total of sixteen pieces.
How he would sell them would depend on his ability.
Surprisingly, the morning he took the goods, the next morning, he returned cheerfully.
Sixteen pieces of clothing, sold for more than one hundred yuan.
Lin Wan was curious, "Young man, isn’t your home far away? How come you came back so soon, and even took one hundred yuan today?"
The young man scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "My home county is far from here, I don’t have much money, so I sold these clothes all day at the train station to save some money and plan to get more goods before going back."
Lin Wan nodded happily, a clever one!
While Lin Wan and the others’ business was booming here, Ye Qing and Liang Weixiang were at home arguing over the uneven distribution.
"A hundred pieces, five yuan each, should bring back five hundred, why only bring back four hundred now?" Liang Weixiang looked at Ye Qing’s accounts and angrily questioned.
"Do you think business is so easy? Don’t you know how many favors I’ve given to win over Director Wang from the department store? Do you know or not? And, Director Wang didn’t suddenly stop selling Lin Wan’s clothes and switch to selling ours for no reason either. That all depends on this," Ye Qing said, gesturing money.
"Returning my cousin’s goods?" Zhang Dandan asked curiously, "Yes, otherwise where could I have placed those hundred pieces of goods. If you don’t believe me, go see for yourself at the department store tomorrow."
"Director Wang wouldn’t ask us for a favor fee, right?" Liang Weixiang raised her eyebrows.
"Of course, if I didn’t give him some benefits, would he be so straightforward?"
"A hundred yuan, my cousin definitely wouldn’t bear to give him that much," Zhang Dandan looked at the missing figure, feeling distressed.
"That goes without saying, so in the future, on the accounts, don’t doubt where the missing amounts are used. Our one hundred yuan are well spent. After deducting costs, we have at least three hundred yuan profit from those hundred pieces," Ye Qing said, looking at the pile of scraps covering the bed, "Aunt Liang, I have to tell you, can’t you put some heart into your work when cutting? Look how much fabric you’re wasting, making less money."
"I’d love to, but I’m not professional. Normally making clothes at home doesn’t require so much detail. I have to cut and sew by myself, it’s impossible to meet the demand of both of you... Why don’t you let your mom come and help?"
"Aunt Liang, with my mom looking after kids, how can she help? Forget about it. Tomorrow I’ll find someone to help reduce your workload."
"We need to hire someone? That means more expenses," the little girl helping Zhang Dandan sell stuff was of no use at all, costing twenty yuan per month, just wasted.
Now hiring someone would mean spending dozens of more yuan, Liang Weixiang was feeling troubled over money again. Watching her penny-pinching ways daily, Ye Qing internally mocked, "We have to hurry up; I heard Lin Wan’s side has got something going on, we can’t fall behind. I’ll see the situation these days and maybe learn something."
"Lin Wan got up to something new?" Liang Weixiang was surprised. Lin Wan’s brain, she wondered how it grew, with so many moneymaking ideas every day.
"It’s said that two pieces of clothing are wholesaled for just six yuan, and they look really nice."
"I saw them, they’re indeed good-looking. Sister Ah Qing, we have sold out this batch of goods, so we could mimic and make a batch too. I want a set." Zhang Dandan saw a man selling her cousin’s clothing at the train station today. It was indeed nice. She wanted a set too.
"Sister Ah Qing, it’s not worth it for us to run around every day, why don’t we get a shop?"
"You could look at the stores these few days," Ye Qing didn’t object. If the business wanted to grow, it definitely needed a fixed location.
"Alright, leave this to me."
"Renting a shop is expensive, why waste the money? There are lots of people on the streets," Liang Weixiang didn’t quite agree, but the two of them simply ignored her. These days Zhang Dandan had been out and got tanned, they were now making money, so why save.
They have sold four to five hundred pieces in the past few days, making more than a thousand yuan. They invested more than two hundred in the initial stage, Ye Qing did not plan to distribute the money now. She gave Zhang Dandan fifty yuan for the storefront lease money.
Planning to get another batch of goods tomorrow. Trying to hit it big this time.
"Ah Qing, how has your business been with them recently, should I help out as well?" Qiu Hualan asked worriedly when she got home.
"Mom, just focus on taking care of the kids, don’t worry about the business. You know what kind of person Liang Weixiang is. When the big business starts, I’ll definitely find a reason to kick those two out. Here, keep this hundred yuan for yourself." In fact, they had made around seventeen hundred this time.
Zhang Dandan was busy every day selling goods, reporting the price of each piece, Ye Qing couldn’t play tricks, but she dealt with Director Wang’s accounts personally, she would definitely fiddle with them.
The little girl she hired wasn’t being paid for nothing; she was intentionally supervising Zhang Dandan making accounting mistakes.
But Zhang Dandan was right; it’s time to rent a shop.
"Boss, is there a similar material that’s cheaper?" Before coming, Ye Qing specifically observed a shop that sold Lin Wan’s clothes.
On this side, Ye Qing also found the material Lin Wan used. However, it was too expensive, she was not willing to spend so much on costs.
