Lin Yi picked and chose through Cai Genbao's pile of unsaleable inventory, and shook his head the more he looked through it: These are all the goods that wholesalers have been unable to sell for years.

Even if you go looking for it specifically, you may not be able to find so many. He can only say that his brother-in-law may not be suitable for this job.

If you insist on following this business path, you must cultivate your aesthetic sense.

He sorted the clothes into three piles according to 'ugly', 'unbearable to look at' and 'eye-catching'.

Then he planned to sell them in the county, town and village according to the piles. Even so, he could not guarantee that he could dump them quickly, so he could only do his best.

While they were sorting the goods, Cai Genbao returned with a few women, looking very happy. As soon as he entered, he happily pulled Lin Yi aside and whispered to him, "Brother-in-law, we don't have to worry about our goods this time. Look, these people are the buyers that Aunt Xiaoping found for me."

Lin Yi glanced at the five older women who were already rummaging through the pile of goods and asked, "Just these five?"

Lin Yi didn't want to dampen his brother-in-law's good mood. But how many pieces could they buy?

"Ah, don't be fooled by the small number of people. These ladies are all selling clothes at the train station. They have their own shops. I brought a big bag of clothes for Xiaoping's aunt and her family. When her aunt heard that I had a lot of inventory and was worried about selling it, she took the clothes and went out. A while later, she brought these ladies here. They are not buying one or two pieces, they are here for wholesale." Cai Genbao hurriedly explained and went to greet the ladies.

The older ladies were choosing with their eyes shining, and when they saw him coming, they all started talking to him and asked for the price of the clothes in their arms.

Cai Genbao couldn't answer so many voices, so he clasped his fists towards the older women and said, "Ladies, ladies, please go ahead and choose first. Don't worry. Your wholesale price cannot be the same as my retail price. I have to make some profit for you. Besides, you were all introduced by my sister-in-law, so how can I not give you a lower price? Don't worry, we'll settle the bill together later."

Those who were quick-eyed and quick-handed had already gathered all the styles they liked into a pile. Seeing this, the others did not hesitate and rushed to grab the goods. Lin Yi's early division of the piles provided convenience for them, but unexpectedly, the most popular clothes were in the two piles of "eye-catching" and "unbearable to look at".

He thought that the short guys' clothes were "unattractive" and that there were few that the older ladies would like.

Lin Yi: I just... don’t understand.

By the time the ladies had finished selecting the goods and settled the bill, he still didn't understand. Was there something wrong with his vision? This shouldn't be the case!

The elder sisters explained his doubts before leaving:

The fat lady said: "I have selected the goods. I will pick out two more for my two daughters."

The tall lady said: "Yes, I will pick two for my husband as well."

The other older sisters also expressed their desire to buy some for their families.

This time they went straight for the "ugly" pile of goods.

The fat lady said: "My two daughters have a lot to do, so they won't wear anything that doesn't look good."

The short lady said, "My kids are the same. They look down on the clothes in my shop and say I have no taste and don't know how to choose goods. Don't you think I know more than them after years of doing this? The clothes they choose are simply not going to sell here at the train station."

The other older sisters also echoed this. Not to mention the principle of "you get what you pay for", they just said that the customer base of their store near the train station is different from that of the store in the department store. How can they generalize?

The older sisters picked out the clothes and didn't even look for a car to transport them. They just carried them on their shoulders and took them away as if it was no big deal. They really have a lot of strength.

Cai Genbao's inventory was reduced by half in an instant, but all his capital was recovered. The remaining half was all profit. He immediately felt less anxious and less tense.

That evening, Yongqiang didn't come back, but Yongshan brought two girls to the house after get off work. He went straight to Cai Genbao and said loudly, "Uncle, my colleagues want to buy some clothes. Can you give them a discount?"

Then he leaned over to Cai Genbao and whispered, "That's all I said. Don't bother with my face. You can sell it however you want." Anyway, I don't have much face in this family...

Cai Genbao glanced at him subtly. This nephew actually thought about his business and took the initiative to help him attract customers?

Cai Genbao took the two girls to the room where the goods were stored and let them choose for themselves. Yongliang was a colleague of his parents, so he had to do them a favor and give them cheaper items.

The cute and innocent round-faced girl had already started to show off her clothes one by one in front of the mirror of the wardrobe in the room, while the tall and thin girl just took a quick look.

Cai Genbao asked her, "Aren't you picky?" He saw that the girl was wearing old clothes. Although there were no patches on them, they were washed white. It was obvious that her family was not as well off as the round-faced girl. But she didn't pick at anything. Then what was she doing here?

The tall and thin girl looked at him a little awkwardly, then looked at her companions. Seeing that their companions were not paying attention to her, she whispered to Cai Genbao, "Uncle, no, brother," but her face turned red before she finished speaking.

"Hey, you can call me whatever you want. Don't you have any money with you? You can pick them out first. One or two items don't cost much. You can pay me when it's convenient for you." Cai Genbao said generously. Anyway, you and my family work in the same unit, so I'm not worried that you will default on your debt.

The tall and thin girl seemed to muster up her courage: "Can I buy more on credit?" After saying that, she quickly glanced at Cai Genbao. Seeing that he blinked and seemed not to understand what she meant, she hurriedly explained:

"I want to take some clothes from you to sell, but I... I don't have any money right now. If you're willing to give me credit, I'll write you an IOU. Please give me five... no, three days. If I can sell them within three days, I'll pay you back. If I can't, I'll return the clothes to you." The girl pleaded, "Is that okay with you?"

Qian Shuhong's hands almost twisted the front of her clothes into a knot. She was very nervous, but she had to do it.

A few days ago, she noticed that her colleague Zhao Yongliang had suddenly changed his previous attire and wore new clothes every day, and rarely wore the same ones twice. When other colleagues asked Zhao Yongliang about it, she also pricked up her ears to listen. It turned out that his family was now in the clothing business and had a lot of stock at home.

Before leaving get off work, Xiaoyuan told Zhao Yongliang that she wanted to come to his house to pick out some clothes. Qian Shuhong hesitated for a long time and also said that she wanted to come and take a look.

But she actually has no money and is very short of it.

There were eight people in her family, and only her father had a formal job. Her mother was on medication year-round, and her grandmother wasn't in good health. She had four younger siblings, all of whom were still in school. The family struggled to even afford food, with no spare money.

After graduating from junior high school, she voluntarily dropped out of school. In the past two years, she made paper boxes on the street, and the money she earned was not enough to feed her younger brothers and sisters. Later, Aunt Zhang from the neighborhood committee introduced her to her current job, perhaps because she saw that her family was really in financial difficulty.

Although it was just a temporary job, the salary was good, 40 yuan a month. However, she had only been working for less than a month and her salary had not yet arrived. Now the family was almost out of food, and her mother's medicine could not be stopped...

She wanted to start a small business at the night market after get off work, but she had no skills and no capital...she had no idea where to start.

If Zhao Yongliang's uncle would allow me to buy clothes on credit...
