Chapter 88 Wholesale
Tian Huiying looked at the clothes on Ma Feixia and said frankly: "Feixia, this dress doesn't suit you."
Tian Huiying didn't want to buy clothes for Ma Feixia. She was already treated well by having her wear a new pair of shoes, so how could she buy her clothes again? If she bought her clothes this time, what about next time?
After all, she is just a niece, and it is impossible to raise her as a biological daughter.
But Ma Feixia didn't seem to understand what Tian Huiying meant. She looked in the mirror, then looked at Gu Erhui, and thought the clothes she was wearing looked good too, so she asked Gu Erhui to try them on for her.
Gu Erhui reluctantly picked one for her. Ma Feixia put it on and looked at herself in the mirror. She thought it looked pretty good, so she said to Tian Huiying, "Second Aunt, I'll take this one."
What could Tian Huiying say in front of so many people? She could only agree to buy it for her.
At this time, a customer came to the store. Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui went to greet the customer, and Tian Huiying paid for two pieces of clothing and left. Of course, Gu Jianguo was charging the cost price. Even so, Tian Huiying was not happy.
This isn't a matter of how much money is involved; it's Ma Feixia's ignorance. Just like when Gu Xueqiang bought shoes in their store, he refused to pay for them and took the money instead.
Again, it's not a question of how much money you have, it's a question of whether you are sensible or not. She is your aunt, not your biological mother, and has no obligation to spend money on you.
Gu Yimin and his team didn't care about the Han family's lawsuit, but now they had a problem: the customers who came didn't come to buy clothes, or in other words, they didn't come to buy just one piece of clothing. They wanted to take the clothes from them and sell them, asking how much they would pay for each piece.
Gu Siqing's eyes lit up when she heard that. Wholesale!
But she just listened and didn't say anything.
"We want to buy some clothes from you and sell them at Jinyuan Plaza. How much can you offer for each piece?"
There were two women in their twenties, one tall and large, the other petite. The petite woman was the one who spoke.
Gu Jianguo had never expected that his first business after the new year would be like this. He had never thought that others would buy goods from him to sell, and of course he had no idea of wholesale.
But his first reaction was not to refuse, but to ask: "How many can you take?"
The two girls looked at each other without answering. The taller girl looked at Gu Yimin and said, "Are you from Shanshui Town? I've seen you in Shanshui Town before."
The reason why she had an impression of him was because Gu Yimin was good-looking, and she looked at him a few more times at that time.
Gu Yimin was stunned for a moment, "Who are you?"
"My name is Wu Qiuyun. I used to be an educated youth in Yueya Bay, Shanshui Town." Wu Qiuyun pointed to the petite girl next to her. "Her name is Xu Lei. She used to be an educated youth in Yueya Bay with me."
"That's a coincidence." Gu Yimin's smile widened, but she didn't seem too friendly. She knew the girl was trying to build a closer relationship with them and gain some benefits from it.
They are strangers to begin with, so if you give them more benefits, they will get less benefits themselves. It is better for everyone to be business-like.
"We didn't find jobs after returning, so we don't have much money," Xu Lei said embarrassedly. "We want three pieces of each style. We'll come back for more when they're sold out."
Gu Jianguo lowered his eyes and calculated the costs and profits.
Their current clothing items include leather jackets, tweed coats, and jeans. The leather jackets come in two styles, the tweed coats come in three styles, and the jeans are all the same, just in different shades.
The purchase price of the leather jacket is the same as the puffer jacket, 25 yuan. He also plans to sell two styles for 55 yuan. If they take three of each style, that is six pieces. If they make ten yuan per piece, they can make 60 yuan.
The purchase price of the woolen coat is 20, and he plans to sell it for 45. He will take three pieces of each of the three styles, which makes nine pieces in total. He can make 10 yuan from each piece, which is 90 yuan in total.
Leaving aside jeans, I can earn 150 yuan from leather jackets and tweed coats. And that's just one sale.
This business can be done.
After thinking it over, he said, "We're half-hometown people, so I won't charge you too much. The retail price of leather jackets here is 55, so I'll give you 35. You can make 20 yuan per piece. The price of woolen coats is 45, so I'll give you 30. The price of jeans is 15, so I'll give you 9 yuan a pair."
The two girls gathered together to discuss quietly, and then said sheepishly: "If we can't sell it, can we return it?"
They only had 600 yuan, scraped together from various sources. If they couldn't sell the clothes they bought, they wouldn't only have nothing to eat but would also be in debt.
Gu Jianguo frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "You can return it within a week, but the return cannot affect our sales. Besides, this is the first time we do business with you, and we are half-fellow villagers, so I am taking care of you. I won't be able to do that next time."
The two girls nodded quickly. If they could sell the clothes this time, it would mean that this business was viable and they would not return them next time. If the clothes could not be sold this time, they would not do this business.
In the end, they took away six leather jackets, nine tweed coats, and five pairs of jeans, paying a total of 525 yuan, and Gu Jianguo and his colleagues earned 160 yuan.
After the two girls left, the family gathered to discuss the incident. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation in their business. In their minds, they always purchased goods from the manufacturer and had never considered reselling them in bulk.
"If this kind of business can continue for a long time, it will definitely make more money than our retail business," said Gu Erhui.
"But will there be customers like this often?" Gu Yimin asked.
Gu Jianguo was silent for a moment and then said, "There should be. It's not easy to buy goods from Shenzhen, so many people want to go to the south but don't dare. But it would be much easier for them to get goods from us."
Wang Yueju: "How do they know to get the goods from us?"
"Tell them."
This was Gu Sanjing's voice, and everyone looked at her. Gu Yimin also asked: "How do you tell?"
Gu Sanjing waved her hand, "I don't know."
She just said it casually. If someone doesn't know, isn't that right? She should just tell them.
Gu Siqing remained silent. She had finally understood that her parents and sister were all very proactive people. If they wanted to do something, they would always find a way. It was just a matter of time.
Her suggestions were all based on her experience in the future, which sometimes wasn't applicable now. Furthermore, the family business would still depend on her parents and her older sisters. If she used her experience in the future to participate more, her parents and older sisters wouldn't be able to fully develop their abilities.
Therefore, it is better for her not to interfere too much in some things.
Gu Jianguo and the others discussed for a while, and then customers came to the store, and they started to get busy again. Later, Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju took Gu Siqing and Gu Sanjing home, leaving Yimin, Erhui and Xueqiang to take care of the store.
Gu Jianguo began to prepare to decorate the yard.
