Once reborn, Su Jiaojiao returned to the year she was forced into marriage. This time, she no longer escapes; she calls off the engagement, fights against scoundrels, earns money herself when broke...
Chapter 279 Clothing Wholesale
Although the camera was a little far away from Su Jiaojiao's warehouse, it could still be seen clearly in the surveillance video.
When Cai Ting unpacked the goods and showed them to the four or five people, two of them took a step back and walked away with a package of goods in their hands with a natural look on their faces.
The two men still had smiles on their faces and even looked up at the security room, as if they were real buyers.
The last three people who came to look at the goods looked at them seriously for about ten minutes before they patted their butts and left.
Only then did Cai Ting realize that a package of goods was missing.
From the surveillance footage, Master Yan was arranging the tarpaulin in the car at the time. He only came down to help Cai Ting look for it when she called him.
Those people disappeared long ago.
"So they stole it!" Cai Ting angrily pointed at the surveillance camera and said, "Officer, they said they wanted to buy something, but they dithered for a long time and didn't buy anything. Who knew they were actually thieves?"
"You go back and wait for news. We will notify you when there is a result." The people from the police station did not say much. They suggested that the property install a few more cameras. The property manager agreed and said that they would increase patrols in the future to reduce the losses of merchants.
Su Jiaojiao didn't have classes the next morning, and this happened again. She didn't go back to school. She told Master Yan what happened. When she learned that he was still resting in the car, she took Cai Ting to find him and said she would treat him to a meal.
Master Yan's truck is parked on the roadside in front of the power plant's staff quarters. He rests in the car at night. As someone who drives a car all year round, he rarely stays in a hotel and usually sleeps in the car. He saves as much as he can.
"It's good to know how it was lost." Master Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't get a good rest along the way and had been looking for the goods for more than two hours. He didn't blame the two people. "I've already eaten, so I won't go."
"Master Yan, I'm sorry. It's my fault." Cai Ting regretted what she had said. "I apologize."
"No need, I appreciate it." Master Yan waved his hand and said tiredly, "You guys do your own thing, I need to rest now, I have to travel tomorrow."
Su Jiaojiao also felt bad. She and Cai Ting went to the department store across the street and bought over a hundred yuan worth of special products from the capital. They then went to Chengguang Garden to buy him a large bag of food and sent it all to his car. "Master Yan, have a good rest. We won't bother you anymore. I hope we can continue to work together in the future."
Cai Ting said that Master Yan could have just delivered it to the freight station.
He thought the freight station wasn't far from here, so he stepped on the accelerator and came over, so he delivered it to his door. He was kind-hearted.
But if the goods are really lost, his kindness will be discounted.
Su Jiaojiao didn't want to have any unpleasantness with him because of this matter. Business people believe in making money through harmony, and besides, this matter was not someone else's responsibility.
"It's not easy for everyone. Next time if you need more goods, I'll give them to you." Master Yan was touched when he saw how many things Su Jiaojiao and Cai Ting had stuffed in. "Miss Su, I hope you can find that package of goods soon. I also wish your business a prosperous future."
"Thank you, Master Yan." Su Jiaojiao smiled.
The two went back upstairs. Their roommates had already returned. The three of them were wearing work clothes from the electronics factory and were eating at a small table in the living room. When they saw Su Jiaojiao and Cai Ting come in, they glanced at them and continued to eat with their heads down.
"Hello, I'm new here. We'll be roommates from now on." Cai Ting stepped forward to greet them.
The three of them looked at each other, and one of them smiled and said, "We work three shifts, and the working hours are irregular. Don't be angry if it disturbs you."
"It's okay, it's okay. I understand." Cai Ting pulled Su Jiaojiao into the room. The room seemed quite big the last time she saw it, but after moving in, it felt quite small.
In a strange neighborhood and a strange room, Su Jiaojiao stood in front of the window, looking at the family compound which was still brightly lit. Thinking of the package she had lost, her mood became depressed.
Cai Ting sat on the bed and said to Su Jiaojiao, "There are six wholesale jeans stores here. Their wholesale prices are similar to ours. Some are 11, some are 12, and some are 13. But I've seen that the fabric of the 11-yuan jeans isn't as good as ours."
"Just ship them out at a price of twelve yuan." Su Jiaojiao looked at this batch of jeans. The fabric and style were average. The only outstanding thing was that the color was well washed, the popular blue color.
If this batch of goods goes smoothly, we will have the remaining half of the decoration fee and the money to buy furniture.
As for the money Chen Guilan brought, she had no intention of using it at all.
People are lazy. Once they have hope, they don't want to work hard.
"If you can't find that package of goods, you can deduct it from my salary." Cai Ting was also thinking about the package of goods.
"What are you talking about!" Su Jiaojiao didn't need her to compensate, so she comforted him, "This was an accident, so you can't be blamed entirely. I want to find someone else to come over so we can look after each other. It would be best if you find someone. Do you have any familiar friends who are willing to come? The salary is 800 yuan, with food and accommodation provided, which is 200 yuan less than your travel expenses."
She needs a long-term and stable employee to help her, and can only pay him a high salary.
If it were like a factory, we might not be able to keep people there.
"You should find it yourself!" Cai Ting couldn't think of who to find for a moment.
"Okay, I'll find one then." Su Jiaojiao didn't have a suitable candidate for the time being, mainly because she only knew a few girls.
Su Cuicui is suitable, but Feng Yuefen is too difficult to deal with, and it is not good for cousins to be too close.
Then there is Liu Ying. Her sister-in-law just had an accident, so she definitely won't come here to work without caring about anything.
Li Na and Wang Meng are possible, but they may not come. However, Su Jiaojiao still plans to ask them.
As for those who are married, there is no need to ask, with families to support, who would travel so far to earn such a small amount of money.
It was a little after four in the morning, before daybreak, and some businesses in the community had already opened. The two men got up, went downstairs to open the warehouse door, and dragged the jeans to the door and spread them out.
The surroundings were very quiet, with few people talking loudly. Regular customers were even more low-key when getting goods. There was no time for small talk. They just took the goods, paid, and left.
Several people came in with breakfast carts to sell breakfast, and went to each warehouse door to ask if they wanted breakfast.
One after another, people came in tricycles to look at the goods.
The first person to take the order was a middle-aged man. He said he was at the market and liked the color of the goods. He asked the price and bought 100 pieces.
He sells it for twenty-five or thirty yuan at the market. This kind of common goods all depend on price.
Cheap is the bottom line.
Seeing that he was quite talkative, Su Jiaojiao chatted with him for a few more minutes.
He said they seldom go to Wudaokou to get goods, firstly because the distance is far, and secondly because the prices there are not low either, so it is more convenient to come here.
He also suggested that Su Jiaojiao ship the goods to the big market, saying that jeans are a best-seller and can be easily sold out as long as the price is low.
Su Jiaojiao had thought about this problem, but she didn't have a car. She could hire a car to take her to the market once or twice, but she couldn't hire a car to take her there every time. The cost would be too high.
The two worked until dawn and wholesaled more than 500 pieces. This place is different from the Wudaokou Clothing Wholesale Market. The people who come here to buy goods are retailers. They are afraid of having a large inventory, so they don’t buy large quantities.
After daybreak, there are fewer people buying goods, and occasionally some come to the morning market to pick up bargains.
The retail price here is also a few dollars lower than the market price. The jeans that Su Jiaojiao wears cost 12 dollars to ship, but the retail price is 18 dollars.
If I come across one that is particularly durable, I’ll buy three or five pieces at a time and sell them for 15 yuan.
At noon, Su Jiaojiao took the payment of more than 7,000 yuan to a nearby bank to deposit it, and then took a bus back to Peking University.
It is now the end of October. At this rate, this batch of goods can be wholesaled in early December.
There is still some time before the Chinese New Year, so she has to prepare cotton coats and other items in advance to catch up with the peak sales season.
But what to sell?
Down jacket or sweater?
Liu Wenzhi does have down jackets, but the purchase price is too high, so it's not suitable for wholesale here. His goods are more suitable for selling in the store.
She doesn't have a storefront now.
After thinking it over, Su Jiaojiao decided to wait until she was free and then go to the Wudaokou Clothing Wholesale Market to see if she could get some cost-effective winter clothes.
