Early in the morning, Jiang Xue was taken to the Hong'an factory by Ji Chen.
The wind was howling, and Jiang Xue's nose was running from the cold.
Jiang Xue thought that it was still early morning and these people should come back to check on things.
"Cotton-padded pants and socks, selling cheap, they're all extra thick." But it seemed like no one even glanced at them after Jiang Xue shouted for a long time.
So she simply took out the cardboard she had brought and wrote "two pairs of nine cents" in big letters on it.
The red lettering stands out even more prominently below the employee residential area.
As expected, this new tactic attracted a lot of attention, and soon someone came over and asked, "How much are those socks for a pair?"
"Six mao." Actually, Jiang Xue wanted to say fifty mao, but then she remembered that she had already inquired and found that even very thin socks cost fifty mao.
“Mine is extra thick and fleece-lined; you can’t buy it for less than 80 cents outside.”
To be honest, there aren't many thick socks here; most people wear cotton shoes, and some people will wear several pairs when they're cold.
"Auntie, feel this. Isn't this fleece warm enough?"
Jiang Xue directly rubbed the socks and cotton pants onto the aunt's hands.
The woman felt that the shoes were indeed warm in her hands. She looked them over from left to right and said, "How about you give me a discount? I'll buy a pair to try out first. If they're really warm, I'll buy another pair tomorrow."
Seeing that there wasn't anyone around, and mainly wanting to find out what was going on, Jiang Xue said, "Alright, how about I give you five cents a pair?"
Even if Jiang Xue had her own premeditated plan, she couldn't afford to lose money.
"Si Mao, do you think this will work? If not, I'm leaving."
Even with three Mao and Jiang Xue, there's no loss, let alone four Mao.
Jiang Xue quickly grabbed the older woman, "How about this, you help me find some business later, and I'll give you forty cents, okay?"
Jiang Xue looked very troubled, and then, because she was so cold, she kept sniffling. "I'm so hungry. If I don't sell these socks soon, my husband will beat me to death when I get home. I haven't eaten for two days."
This incident caused the aunt's face to freeze instantly. She looked at Jiang Xue with a twitch at the corner of her mouth, and guilt and self-blame all rushed into her heart at once.
"How about fifty cents? Let the child go buy two steamed buns to eat." The woman said, taking out money from her pocket.
Honestly, it's not right to make money by playing the victim, but Jiang Xue's main goal is to get factory uniforms and infiltrate their ranks. How can she do that without some tricks?
“I said four cents, so it’s four cents, it’s okay.” Jiang Xue was very generous and gave the aunt a cent back.
"You silly child, your aunt doesn't have much money either. Why don't you come to my house and have something hot to eat first?"
Jiang Xue quickly waved her hand in refusal, "If you feel sorry for me, could you help me find some business?"
Jiang Xue's mind was racing with calculations: "If you help me sell two pairs for nine cents, I'll give you a ten-cent commission."
The woman was completely stunned. Could such a good thing really exist?
She could hardly believe it.
"Trust me, as long as you get one person to buy it for me, I'll give it to you right away. I'm forced into this situation. If I don't eat, I'll starve to death. The most important thing is that I have two children at home. It's okay if I don't eat, but my children can't go without food."
Actors must perform to the end, and Jiang Xue didn't forget to squeeze out a single tear.
When the aunt saw the child crying, her nose started to sting with tears.
Jiang Xue knew that people in this era were very simple and honest, and had never seen those cannibalistic business tactics.
"Okay, okay, I'll help you out of the money, but for the sake of your two children."
