Chapter 96: Sales went crazy in just a few hours, and the two hundred...
Xu Heye: “…”
She was so angry, where did this hammer come from?
Xu Heye turned her head and saw that the person who was speaking was a middle-aged woman about the same age as the aunt. She was wearing tattered clothes, had a long face, triangular eyes, and a somewhat mean look.
The auntie named Gui Chaoer rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Cao Zhaodi, do you think everyone is like you? You wear the same rags for years and you're still reluctant to take them off."
"Besides, I'm just old, not blind. Why dress ugly when I can dress nicely? You think ugliness is beautiful, so you wish others were as blind as you are?"
Cao Zhaodi: “…”
"You, you, Gui Chao'er, aren't you afraid that your old man Wu will be angry if you spend money like this?"
Auntie: "My husband, Old Wu, would never say anything bad about me. He would like me to dress nicely! If I dress nicely and go out, won't it also bring honor to Old Wu?"
Xu Heye gave the aunt a thumbs up: "Aunt, you are right."
"What's wrong with us girls dressing nicely? Do men have to be respectable, but we girls don't?"
The auntie chuckled: "Young boss, you are so sweet, but I am too old to be a girl."
"Why not?" Xu Heye said seriously, "No matter how old you are, you are still a girl. You have the right to enjoy beauty."
"You're right!" the aunt said. "Boss, give me the order. I'll replace this fake collar when I get home."
"Okay." Xu Heye said, "Auntie bought two silk fake collars, three color-blocked ones. The silk ones are fifteen yuan each, which is thirty yuan. I also gave her a silk headband. The color-blocked ones are three for ten yuan, so forty yuan in total."
Xu Heye took the money, then took out a small floral hairband from her schoolbag and handed it to the aunt.
"The aunt and I have similar personalities, so I should have given you a little less. But the prices here are fixed, and I can't make an exception, otherwise it would be unfair to other customers.
I originally intended this hair tie for my own use, but now I'm giving it to you. You can take it home for your little sister. Don't worry, I just got it and haven't used it yet. It's new. I hope you don't mind.
The aunt hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise. She took the floral hairband from Xu Heye's hand and said happily, "Don't mind, don't mind. How could I mind such a beautiful hairband?"
The aunt looked at Xu Heye and really took a liking to this enthusiastic, cheerful, and efficient girl. When she got home, she planned to recommend her to her older sisters. If they needed anything, they could ask the girl to buy it for them.
Before leaving, the aunt said to the onlookers, "The things here are of good quality, with beautiful patterns and colors, and the prices are cheap. If you need anything, come and buy it quickly. If you don't hurry, the beautiful patterns will be picked up by others."
Upon hearing this, everyone rushed forward to choose the styles and patterns they liked.
"Girl, these plain ones are definitely four for ten dollars, right?"
"Then I can't order four. Can I buy two for five dollars? No, oh, we can share the order. Okay, big sister, let's share. You pick two, I pick two, and it's five dollars each."
"Ten yuan for four, so can I buy five? Can it be cheaper? Five for twelve and a half yuan, isn't that the same price as buying four?"
"Can you only give me 50 cents off? Five pieces for 12 yuan is fine, right?"
"Little girl, can't this patchwork style be combined with a plain color? I want two patchwork styles and one plain color. It's also ten yuan, is that okay?"
"Oh, sure, that's great. I'll take these two color-blocked ones, and this plain one. Boss, take the money."
"Okay, Uncle Lu, ten dollars, take the money."
"Can men wear it? Of course they can. It looks just as good on men." Xu Heye picked out another black silk piece and handed it to Lu Jun. "Uncle, put this on and show it to this big brother."
"Brother, take a look, isn't it beautiful?"
"Good, give me this one."
"Okay, this one is made of silk, so it's a bit more expensive, fifteen dollars."
"No problem, fifteen yuan for silk is not expensive." While collecting the money, Xu Heye picked out another silk item for Lu Jun to wear.
As soon as Lu Jun put it on, someone noticed it and asked, "What material is this thing made of, young man? Silk, that's fine too. Give it to me."
Xu Heye smiled secretly. Her uncle's face and temperament were really amazing. No wonder he was noticed as soon as he put it on. Xu Heye thought about it, took the fake collar that Lu Jun took off, and handed him another one.
The two of them were very busy, one answering questions, the other collecting money, and showing off the effects of the upper body.
Cao Zhaodi, who had just been pushed to the back by the crowd, looked at this scene, her expression changing again and again. "These people are crazy, right? It's just a torn collar, what's so good about it?"
The aunt looked at Cao Zhaodi and snorted. Hu Lan shook her head and left proudly.
She didn't bother with this old woman who seemed smart but was actually extremely stupid.
She wears tattered clothes every day, but dresses the old men in her family neatly. When the couple go out together, they look like an old nanny and the old master in her family. She looks down on herself, so how can she blame the men and children in her family for looking down on her?
Cao Zhaodi was hurt by the aunt's eyes, her nostrils twitched and her breathing became a little faster.
What does this prodigal Gui Chaoer know? A man should dress respectably when he goes out. Why would a woman like her, who spends all day around the stove, dress so nicely?
Gui Chaoer was just jealous of her ability to be frugal and manage the household well.
Thinking of this, Cao Zhaodi glanced at the stall surrounded by the crowd, raised her feet, and left wearing her pair of thousand-layer cloth shoes that had long been torn.
Xu Heye naturally didn't know what Cao Zhaodi was thinking.
But even if she knew, she wouldn't care. She was so busy collecting money that she didn't have time to care what others were thinking.
I was busy for more than five hours, until one o'clock in the afternoon, when fewer and fewer people came to ask questions.
Xu Heye pulled a water bottle from her bag and gulped down a large drink. She had been talking non-stop for over three hours, her saliva had dried up, and she was dying of thirst.
After drinking the water, Xu Heye looked at Lu Jun and said, "Uncle Lu, how many fake collars do we have left?"
Lu Jun flipped through the snakeskin bag and said, "There are not many items left." There was limited space on the table, and they couldn't put all the goods on it. They could only sell them in batches.
I was busy serving customers and only cared about taking goods from the bag. Now, after seeing the goods on the plate, I realized that this business is really good. At first, people would ask about the details, but later they just grabbed them.
She and Lu Jun only need to pick up the goods, collect the money, pick up the goods, and collect the money.
Only now did they realize that in just a few hours, the more than 240 items they brought had been almost sold out.
All the silk was sold out, and it was the first to be sold out.
Xu Heye didn't expect that the silk fake collar would be so popular.
After thinking about it for a while, she figured it out.
Silk has been associated with the rich and powerful since ancient times. While ordinary people may not express it, they may still yearn for silk products deep down. If you can't afford a silk shirt, why not just buy a cheap faux collar?
Another thing is her Uncle Lu’s model effect.
No matter what color the silk fake collar is, it can make you look elegant.
The most important thing is the price. The things she sells are all made of scraps of cloth and are cheap.
Moreover, all items are unique, which further arouses customers' desire to buy. Anyone, regardless of gender, would not want to buy something that no one else has!
Xu Heye and Lu Jun looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.
There were more than 240 pieces of goods, including more than 80 pieces of silk. At 80 yuan per piece, the total sales volume was 1,200 yuan.
There are 100 solid-colored pieces, and 10 are left. The other 90 pieces are calculated at 10 yuan per piece, which makes 225 yuan.
There are three color-blocked pieces left, and out of sixty pieces left, fifty-seven have been sold. Let's assume three pieces for ten yuan, which makes a total of one hundred and ninety yuan.
Adding the three together, the total sales volume is 1,615 yuan.
This is just a rough calculation. In fact, there are some retail sales, so the actual turnover is definitely more than this.
Xu Heye was holding a bulging schoolbag. It was empty when she came, but now it was filled with banknotes of various denominations.
Xu Heye glanced at her watch. It was two in the afternoon, still early. She said to Lu Jun, "Uncle Lu, go back and get some goods right now. You can get more silk this time, but as for the other two items, just keep them the same as this morning."
At this time, most customers have gone home or are having lunch in the mall. There will probably be another peak around 3pm. The pedestrian street is also very busy at night, and they can sell until around 10pm.
Lu Jun nodded, and Xu Heye continued, "Uncle Lu, judging by today's sales, our fake collar business is promising. Go back and tell my aunt to find someone. Otherwise, we'll be out of stock in a couple of days."
Xu Heye lowered her voice and said, "We have to make money before the imitation products come out. That way, we have to ship the goods quickly. Otherwise, by the time people realize what's going on, our products won't be so easy to sell."
"By the way, let my aunt contact Uncle Wang, the warehouse manager of the textile factory, and ask him if he has any scraps of cloth left. If he does, we can buy some more."
Their fake collars can be sold at such low prices because they are made from scraps of cloth. Compared with the profits from buying scraps by the bag, it can be said that the business is almost free of capital.
Without these scraps, they would not be able to make any money at the current price. If they want to maintain their advantage, these scraps are indispensable.
Lu Jun nodded. "I understand. I'll go back and get the goods now. I'll also ask Sister Xinghua to find workers to increase production and buy scraps of cloth."
"Yes." Seeing Lu Jun about to ride his bike, Xu Heye stopped him and took out two ten-yuan notes from her schoolbag and handed them to him. "Uncle, don't ride your bike. Take a taxi back. It's faster. You can even help haul the goods when you get back."
"Okay." Lu Jun took the money, glanced around, and suddenly changed his mind. "He Ye, I'll go with you to the nearby post office to deposit the money, and then I'll go back to get the goods."
