Wang Yitong's driving skills have been getting better and better recently. On Saturday, Wang Yitong went to the bus station to pick up her cousin Tiantian. When she and Tiantian arrived at the parking lot and saw Wang Yitong's car, Tiantian screamed, "Sister, have you made a fortune by opening a shop? BMWs seem very expensive. I'm actually riding in a luxury car today. I belong to my sister. It's so fashionable."
After Tiantian got into the passenger seat, Wang Yitong used the navigation system to head to the Lotus Pond Wholesale Market. As he drove, he said, "I bought this car with a loan, paying it back over three years. Otherwise, how could I afford it? Having a car makes it more convenient to get supplies and get home. You know how hard it is to get a ticket back from Chengdu during the holidays, and the lines at the bus station are so long. Also, I've been robbed several times while riding in a car. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it."
This time you came here to play, and I also want you to be my advisor. You have a good eye, so you can help me pick out the goods.
I'd also like to ask you to help me work part-time as a customer service representative, handling and solving customer problems on Wangwang. I believe you can do a good job. It's 2 yuan per order, but I'm already too busy. If you do well, you can make a few hundred yuan a day, which is better than playing around."
My cousin Tiantian was delighted to hear this and said readily, "No problem, leave it to her. Hey, my cousin Xingxing worked part-time as a guitar teacher over the summer and earned nearly 18,000 yuan in two months. You've opened a shop and bought a car, and I'm the only one doing the worst. I'm going to work hard and turn my sadness into strength. Forget about romance! No one can stop me from making money."
Hearing Tiantian's tone, Wang Yitong laughed and comforted her: "I was not optimistic about your last relationship. Even though we were high school classmates, you didn't finish high school. You had no education and no ability. My sister is so good, she deserves better."
"You think everyone is like you? Your first love is a top student, and I am a poor student. Okay, now let's go buy some goods. I just like shopping."
Shortly after finishing their conversation, they arrived at the wholesale market. They'd gone back to the previous shop, but since the weather was turning cold, they decided not to buy a windbreaker for now. Instead, they chose another loose-fitting, one-size-fits-all shirt, 50 pieces, at the same price as last time. They also picked up three comfortable knitted base layers, 50 each in black, yellow, and white. Since they were repeat customers, they'd bargained down the price to just 12 yuan a piece. They added coats to their collection, choosing classic styles in camel, beige, and black, as well as two classic Chanel-style suits in off-white and black and white. The jeans they'd chosen last time were of good quality, and the customer feedback was positive. They added some spring and autumn styles and new thicker, fleece-lined jeans. At the same time, at my cousin's suggestion, they chose a few cute and classic down jacket styles.
More than 10,000 yuan was spent in one go.
Wang Yitong and Tiantian loaded their bags of clothing onto the cart and continued browsing other stores. The revamped new Chinese cheongsam they'd chosen last time was selling well, so they added autumn and winter styles and a few mid-length sleeves. At her cousin's suggestion, they also added two Hanfu styles. However, since the store is focused on fashion, it's unclear whether Chinese-style items will be popular, so Wang Yitong only ordered two small and medium sizes, totaling 30 pieces. She planned to accept pre-orders for other sizes to reduce cost risk. The couple asked the store owner for recommendations for Chinese round fans. Upon arrival, they selected 20 of six similar double-sided embroidered designs. They also chose 20 of the six styles, similar to the paper fans they'd seen on their previous trip to Hangzhou, along with the ancient tasseled women's folding fans, each in 10 different colors and patterns, for 3 yuan each. They also selected five of each of two oil-paper umbrellas, figuring they wouldn't find many customers, at 15 yuan each. They also added some Chinese hairpins and silk scarves, spending over 1,000 yuan.
I went back to the jewelry store and continued to choose the earrings I had chosen last time. With my cousin's help, I added a few more styles and some beautiful bracelets, such as bracelets in various colors, pearl bracelets, crystal beads, etc. I sold some of them and gave one to a customer as a gift for the new store. I spent more than 1,000 yuan.
The two continued to come to a Korean Feng store, which mainly sells Korean style clothing. This store mainly purchases goods from Guangzhou and Hangzhou, and all of them are the latest styles from Dongdaemun, South Korea.
They selected two high-quality hat styles: a baseball cap for 6 yuan wholesale and a bucket hat for 8 yuan, choosing from light blue, off-white, light brown, khaki, light pink, beige, and navy. They also picked out several stylish, niche backpacks with a fresh style, priced at 20 yuan wholesale. Wang Yitong chose two colors: mist gray and rose salt colorblock, both suitable for both men and women, suitable for both office workers and students. Each one cost 30 yuan. The store's outfits are aesthetically pleasing. My cousin Tiantian said they resembled Korean dramas: stylish yet girl-next-door. The two of them went on to purchase eight more autumn and winter outfits, totaling 50 pieces in each style and color, spending over 20,000 yuan.
They had a feeling that the goods in this store would take their business to the next level, so they added the boss's QQ number and asked him to send her the new styles via QQ.
They went back to the same sock shop and bought some wholesale socks suitable for autumn and winter. The owner recommended the leg-baring magic tool for winter. They chose branded socks so they could use themselves if they couldn't sell them. However, the socks were in great demand and easy to sell.
After buying the things, Wang Yitong looked at his spoils and felt a sense of accomplishment.
She said to Tiantian, "Thanks to you, this purchase went really smoothly. Thank you for your advice. The clothes you selected will definitely be very popular."
Tiantian smiled and said, "Sister, you are too polite. It is mainly because you have good vision. I didn't expect to invest so much money in purchasing goods. The cost is so low. I really lost a lot of money in the past."
Wang Yitong patted Tiantian on the shoulder and said, "Once we get the goods sorted and put on the shelves, our store will be able to attract more customers. Don't underestimate the low purchase price, but you still have to consider labor costs, transportation costs, rent for storing the goods at home, electricity costs, broadband fees, and the investment in a SLR, computer, and courier fees. In addition, you have to consider the cost of losses and some people returning goods, so running a business with a large investment means a lot of pressure."
