Chapter 453 Real Estate
Chun Ya sighed: "We urged them, and they did send us the clothes later, but the quality of this batch wasn't very good, and they didn't sell well. People aren't stupid; after trying on the clothes and finding the quality was bad, they didn't want to buy them."
"It's because we lacked experience that we got scammed. I went back to the factory to ask them to make another batch of clothes, but the factory had already run away. I realized that they just wanted to make one last quick buck, so they just disappeared."
Shen Zhixia understood: "Then what about your clothes?"
There's usually nothing you can do when something like this happens; you just have to accept your bad luck. After all, you didn't check with the manufacturer beforehand, and this manufacturer probably had problems a long time ago. It's lucky that you were able to get a batch of clothes from them this time; some manufacturers might just swallow the money and leave.
Chun Ya said dejectedly, "Is this all we can do? We can only sell them wholesale at a low price, which won't even cover the cost. We'll have to pay extra, but we have no other choice. All we can do now is minimize our losses."
She said disappointedly, "Your five thousand yuan is all gone now. I'm so sorry."
Shen Zhixia didn't care at all: "That's how business is, you don't need to apologize."
If they could make a profit, she would share some of it, but luckily they also lost money, and her money was gone.
Shen Zhixia wouldn't care too much.
Chun Ya lowered her head, completely lacking confidence: "We initially thought things were too simple. Now we realize that doing business is really difficult, extremely difficult. Sometimes, if you don't consider one thing properly, you fail."
"It's also because we're not capable enough."
Shen Zhixia said, "This has nothing to do with your abilities. This is your first time doing business, so it's normal to fail. Fortunately, the losses this time are not too great, and you can afford them."
Chun Ya said, “We are just an ordinary family. The money we lost this time is not a lot, but it is still a lot. We have thought about giving up and going back to work, but I don’t have enough skills and I can’t find a good job. Howard just sold his job. Now he can only start from the bottom again. Actually, we are still unwilling to accept this.”
To be honest, they were quite arrogant at first. Seeing that others were making money selling clothes, they thought they could also make money. They went into it with the attitude that they would succeed.
Who knew the failure would be so swift and so ridiculous?
Making money is indeed very difficult.
This incident has eroded their confidence.
They also began to doubt their luck and abilities.
Chun Ya said, "We feel a bit lost right now and don't know what to do next. But since we've already started our business, we won't go back to working for the time being. Although we failed this time, we still gained some practical experience, and we still feel that we can do it."
"I still want to keep trying, but I'm not selling clothes anymore; I want to do something else."
Shen Zhixia said, "Actually, you were selling clothes this time, so you must be quite familiar with the clothing business. Although you failed this time, it was because you didn't find a good manufacturer. You can learn from your mistakes this time. If you suddenly switch to a new industry, you may encounter new problems."
Chun Ya said helplessly, "I know what you mean. You're afraid we're aiming too high, but actually we initially wanted to continue selling clothes. However, the competition in this industry is fierce. When we started our business, there were several other companies selling clothes that were similar to ours. Even without this accident, we might not have been able to make it."
Her face was listless: "To be honest, we've considered changing industries this time, but we're still investigating. After our first failure, we don't dare to make any hasty decisions this time."
Shen Zhixia noticed that although she seemed much more dejected this time, she also seemed much more mature and considered things more comprehensively.
She thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you try real estate?"
Shen Zhixia wasn't very good at business, so she didn't try it easily. She just remembered that the real estate market was doing quite well during that period.
Buying a house is definitely a good decision, and prices will likely rise in the future.
That's all she remembers.
But that's enough for this one thing. As long as she can handle it, she'll be able to live a very easy life from now on.
Chun Ya was stunned for a moment: "Sell the house?"
Shen Zhixia nodded: "Yes, judging from the current situation, house prices will rise in the future. If you sell your house now, it should be a good time."
Chun Ya pondered, "Will house prices rise?"
Houses are actually not expensive now, in fact, they are quite cheap. You can buy a decent house for 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. Shen Zhixia's house is expensive because it is in the best location in Shanghai and it is a large apartment.
However, this price is still very expensive, so there aren't many people buying houses.
However, Shen Zhixia knew that house prices would rise sharply soon, and the rate of increase would be truly astonishing.
Those who seized the right time to get into real estate made a fortune.
Shen Zhixia smiled and said, "It will go up."
Chun Ya stroked her chin thoughtfully and said, "Actually, I've gotten to know some real estate developers recently. If we want to sell houses, we should be able to find a way."
Although they lost money selling clothes, they didn't come away empty-handed. During this time, they also met many people, which can be considered their network.
Chun Ya said, "Sister-in-law, I heard that you recently bought a house in Shanghai. Houses in Shanghai are really expensive, but even if you buy a house, the people in power won't make any money."
Shen Zhixia nodded: "Even real estate agents offer quite a lot. If you were to sell houses, you would earn even more."
Chun Ya stroked her chin. There aren't actually that many people buying houses now, but the idea of owning a house seems to be ingrained in the Chinese people's bones. When they reach a certain age, they want to buy a house.
So there have always been people buying houses; it's just that the poor can never afford them, but those who can afford them will always have a demand.
Previously, she had never considered the real estate industry because she herself had never bought a house. After all, a house is a huge expense, and she would have to earn more money before she could even think about buying one.
But since Shen Zhixia brought it up, she thought it was a good idea!
Although the houses are expensive, they have always had a target customer base.
She said, "I think it's a good idea. If housing prices rise in the future, then we'll have gained an advantage."
For some reason, she had a strange feeling that she believed what Shen Zhixia said and that housing prices would definitely rise in the future. She also really wanted to do it now.
She felt that something in her life was guiding her to do this.
Shen Zhixia said, "If you really want to do this, you'll need to ask around and run around for a lot of things yourself. There are many pitfalls involved, so be careful not to get scammed."
Chun Ya said seriously, "We suffered because of this the first time, and this time we will never trust anyone easily again. We will personally go and find out everything."
Shen Zhixia smiled and didn't interfere further.
Chun Ya, however, often shares this story.
They were very busy, but they actually found an opportunity to buy a piece of land cheaply, build commercial housing, and prepare to start selling the houses.
Although they haven't started making money yet, they are already full of hope, and it seems that this time they are doing very well.
In her spare time, Chun Ya would bring some things to Shen Zhixia, as she had felt guilty for having owed Shen Zhixia money before.
She mostly gave him wine, and supposedly some good wine at that. Shen Zhixia didn't like drinking, so she put the wine aside. Gradually, she received a lot of wine. After all, the longer wine is stored, the more mellow and fragrant it becomes.
