This old lady showed up so punctually!
As expected, I saw her when summer vacation came.
Originally, Tang Ya didn't know that Wan Qingliu was Wang Jingxia's daughter, but since she saw the poster and the children of Wang Jingxia's family serving as models at the old lady's stall, it was not difficult to tell that those children were the old lady's granddaughters.
After asking around, it wasn't difficult to find out that the old lady would bring her granddaughter to her youngest son's house to play every summer vacation.
It's quite interesting. The old lady didn't come during the summer vacation two years ago, but her granddaughter comes every year. It's as if the two of them have a mission to come as soon as the summer vacation comes.
Every time the child's parents came along, the old lady would set up a stall to sell jewelry, and her son would sell clothes.
When you come to Beijing to play, you have to do business here for two months before leaving.
This year, Tang Ya finally saw the old lady after waiting for a long time. It was like she saw the God of Wealth!
Hua Wanchi turned around and saw a figure outside the door. He took a closer look and found that although the figure was dressed unfamiliarly, the face seemed somewhat familiar.
Isn’t it Tang Ya whom I meet every summer vacation?
Hua Wanchi’s deepest impression of Tang Ya was the gossipy and expert at tricking her brother the first time.
Tang Duan was cheated by his sister first, and then he got a terminal illness. How miserable can one word describe his life?
Tang Ya hadn't figured out how to put it yet, she just wanted to ask the old lady if she was still selling jewelry this year?
But seeing how happy everyone was inside, she didn't dare interrupt the atmosphere. Besides, she wasn't familiar with this family, and it would be so presumptuous to suddenly go in and ask such a question.
Hua Wanchi grabbed a handful of pistachios and walked towards Tang Ya.
"Sister, give me some happy nuts."
There was suddenly a hint of admiration in Tang Ya's eyes when she looked at Hua Wanchi.
What a considerate and good kid, he saved her from embarrassment.
In the yard, Wan Qingliu noticed Hua Wanchi and Tang Ya at the door. He thought Hua Wanchi knew each other and didn't even look at them.
If she looked carefully, she would recognize that the girl was a regular customer of her stall.
Tang Ya didn't have the nerve to go in and ask the adults directly, so she asked indirectly from the little girl who had first shown her some kindness:
"Little sister, what's your name?"
Hua Wanchi narrowed his eyes and smiled: "My name is Hua Wanchi, you can just call me Chichi."
After such an approach, Tang Ya felt much more at home, and the smile on her face became more genuine.
"Chichi, I want to ask you something."
Hua Wanchi blinked: "Sister, you say."
"Did your grandmother sell jewelry at a stall?"
"yes."
"Will she still do it this year?"
Without saying anything, Hua Wanchi stretched his neck and yelled inside: "Milk!"
Wan Qingliu came over following the sound, "What do you want me to do?"
Hua Wanchi giggled: "Grandma, this sister is asking if you still want to set up a jewelry stall."
Tang Ya felt a little embarrassed, but also a little expectant.
Wan Qingliu took a closer look and finally recognized Tang Ya's familiar face, and immediately smiled.
"Hey, girl, it's you. You've had your hair permed. You look different from when you had pigtails. I didn't recognize you at first."
As the market economy was liberalized, private shops gradually appeared in Beijing.
People opened barber shops on every corner of the streets.
Among them was Tang Ya's classmate, who was adhering to the idea of taking care of business. When she went there, she found that this classmate's technique and aesthetics were quite professional. The perm he gave her was fashionable and beautiful, and her whole temperament was elevated.
Tang Ya touched her curly hair happily, with a hint of pride in being praised in the corner of her eyes.
Wan Qingliu was surprised. "I only come here during summer vacation. You didn't wait a year, did you? And you came all the way to see me?"
Tang Ya said a little embarrassedly: "Auntie, this is the case. Your jewelry is so beautiful. I buy ten or so pieces every time and resell them at home, making a lot of money. I just want to know if you are still selling it this year."
People nowadays are simple and honest. They say whatever they want to say and are so frank.
In fact, Wan Qingliu is not short of money at all now. Before the reform and opening up, she was ambitious and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to do this and that.
When the time finally came, she lost her goal again.
I have made a lot of money, but I have no plans for the future.
She has shares in the village garment factory and receives dividends.
She also opened a small shop. Although it was not very impressive, it brought in considerable income.
So, setting up a stall seems a bit unnecessary.
She is still thinking about whether to set up a stall to sell jewelry this year. She has the idea of going, but she also feels that it is okay not to go.
It’s not Wan Qingliu’s fault that he lost his fighting spirit.
The main thing is that the space is too big.
She doesn't have to worry about competing for resources because she already has a lot of them.
After Tang Ya said this, Wan Qingliu suddenly had an idea.
"Girl, do you want to do this business? How about this, I can earn less and take it easy, and you don't have to come here every time to buy, and you don't have to worry about stealing my business. You can just get the goods from me, and then you can sell them anywhere else you want. How about that?"
This made Tang Ya stunned for a moment.
Is it so careless?
Then she thought about it, and realized... it's not impossible.
Originally, she also bought goods from the old lady and had to wait for her to set up her stall.
Now the two of them are working together, eliminating the hassles in the middle and having the old lady supply the goods to her directly. The old lady will definitely make some money, and she can get a lower price and a larger quantity.
Even if she didn't sell those jewelry to the girls and aunts in the courtyard, she could still make money by setting up a stall somewhere else.
Tang Ya didn't dare to go to the source of goods for wholesale by herself. Some money had to be earned from others. There was nothing wrong with everyone cooperating for mutual benefit.
But, Tang Ya touched the money in her pocket and felt a little embarrassed.
She smiled shyly, "Auntie, your idea is quite good, but I don't have much money."
Tang Ya said that she was silly, but when she thought about her own money-making business being ruined, her mind immediately started working, and then an idea flashed in her mind.
"Auntie, I live in that alley! You see, I'm a regular customer. If you trust me, I'll pay you a portion as a deposit first. After I sell the jewelry and have enough money, I'll pay you the rest. Is that okay with you?"
So, once it comes to making money, human potential is unlimited. At that time, the concepts of deposit and final payment were not as mature as they are in later generations, but Tang Ya came up with it without any guidance.
Wan Qingliu readily agreed: "Of course, you can, but you have to pay at least a 20% deposit...Miss, let's go in and talk."
After talking for so long at the door, Wan Qingliu didn't think of inviting people in to sit down, and only realized it now.
There are actually many types and styles of jewelry, and it is difficult to explain what kind of jewelry should be sold at what price.
So I have to go in and talk slowly.
