Chapter 044 I can find someone to help you
In the evening, Su Wan and Chen Yuan picked someone up at the station.
According to their usual bus schedule, Su Jianguo would arrive at the station before eight o'clock in the evening.
The two stood at the station waiting for more than two hours before they saw a car coming towards them.
Among the people who got off the bus one after another, they finally saw Su Jianguo at the end, carrying three big bags and waving at them.
Su went to take the goods from him in the evening and asked with concern, "Second brother, did you buy any food on the way?"
"I didn't eat because I was driving, but I'm not hungry."
Su Jianguo smiled foolishly. Chen Yuan took out a still-warm bun from his pocket and handed it to him. "This is a bun I bought on the roadside. Eat two first to fill your stomach. Then we can have a hot one when we get back."
"Brother-in-law is still the best!"
After finishing the buns in no time, Su Jianguo and Su Wan carried their things and were about to go back.
Chen Yuan wanted to help, but was stopped by Su Wan, "I can do it myself. The most important thing for you now is to rest."
Hearing this, Chen Yuan retracted his hand.
Back in Grandma Zhao's yard, Su Jianguo put the goods away. Grandma Zhao was already carrying the steaming hot meal over. "Jianguo, you must be hungry. Eat something first."
"Thank you, Grandma Zhao!"
Xu Jianguo was really hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Su Wan was not idle either. She quickly sorted out all the clothes and took a look at the styles chosen by her second brother.
Then, she saw Su Jianguo bought a batch of sexy suspender skirts made of silk, and she was completely stunned.
Selling silk skirts on the street may not necessarily sell well.
Silk is a high-end product, with high purchase price, and is generally worn by married women with better financial conditions.
But women like that usually don't buy clothes at street stalls, they go to clothing stores or state-owned stores.
Sure enough, the first thing Su Jianguo did after dinner was to show off his silk suspender skirts.
"This is a pure silk slip dress. The purchase price is 88 yuan per dress. I didn't dare to buy too many, so I just bought 30 to test the waters."
Thirty pieces may not sound like a lot at first glance, but the purchase price is over two thousand.
"Brother, you don't have enough money for the goods you imported, right?"
"I still owe Boss He two thousand yuan. I'll just bring it over next time I go."
Su Jianguo spoke, as if afraid that Su Wan would scold him for acting on his own, and explained in a low voice, "I just think this silk slip dress is really beautiful and should sell well."
"It's really beautiful. Let's try it."
But the result was not what Su Wan wanted.
The silk halter dress that cost 78 yuan was priced at 168 yuan. Many people asked about it, but no one bought it.
Everyone looked at the silk and didn't even dare to touch it.
Silk material is delicate and ordinary female workers dare not touch it. If they damage it, they will have to pay for it.
The other clothes sold very well. Most of them were sold out in just one day, except for the thirty silk dresses, none of which were sold.
Su Jianguo was shocked.
He looked at Su Wan and asked uncomfortably, "Little sister, am I in trouble?"
I can’t let all the more than 2,000 yuan of capital go to waste, right?
Su Wan smiled and shook her head. "Of course it can be sold. It's just a matter of time."
"I don't think I'm good at choosing clothes. How about we go together next time?"
"Brother, there's nothing wrong with the clothes you chose. Didn't you notice that the girls asked about this silk dress the most today? It's just that it's sold in the wrong place."
"Is it sold in the wrong place?"
Su Jianguo was a little puzzled, "Then where do you think we should sell it?"
"Although there are a lot of people around the factory, we've sold clothes here a few times, and the market is relatively saturated. Today, when I had some free time, I took a look around and found a storefront at the intersection that's particularly good. I'd like to sign a contract to sell clothes there."
When Su Jianguo heard that he wanted to rent a store, he hesitated.
He asked, "Is it really necessary for us to find a store here to sell clothes?"
He thinks setting up a street stall is pretty good. The prices are not low, the profits are high, and he can move around freely.
"Brother, Chen Yuan wants to stay in the army. Let's find a store, renovate it, hire someone to sell clothes, and do the purchasing ourselves. Isn't that great? Look, we're making a lot of money now, that's because we seized the opportunity. Once other street vendors come in and divert the market, our business won't be much better. It's better to open a store now while we have a stable customer base, and we can also attract wealthier customers."
Su Jianguo knows nothing about doing business.
But he has one advantage, he listens to advice.
Although he didn't know what the use of this was, since Su Wan said it was okay, he agreed.
When Su Jianguo went to take a shower, Chen Yuan asked her, "When did you decide on the store? How come I didn't know?"
"I've had my eye on it before, but I couldn't make up my mind because I was worried you'd be transferred to another position in the army. But now it doesn't matter. You're going to Ming Province for further training for a year and a half. We won't move for at least two years, and we can just sign a contract for a few years."
Su Wan didn't plan to sign for too long, about three years would be enough.
Because in a few years, clothing wholesale in Guangdong Province will be doing better and better, and by then the clothing market will be saturated and sales will not be so good.
She just needs to seize these two years and work hard to make some money.
Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Then why don't you open a store at home?"
"It will definitely open, but not yet."
Su Wan definitely wants to open a few more clothing stores as soon as possible, but now is not the time.
She has to wait.
Chen Yuan seemed to know what she was thinking, so he said, "If you need help, I can find someone to help you."
Su Wan said nothing and motioned for him to continue.
"Some female soldiers can't continue to stay in the army for some reasons. If you need them, I can ask them to come over. Their character is definitely good."
"Are their families willing?" Su Wan asked worriedly.
"They are all doing odd jobs now. Whenever you need them, I will ask them to come over."
Su Wan nodded and asked him hesitantly, "Do you think I should open two stores, or just one first?"
Chen Yuan thought about it carefully before saying, "I think it would be better to open two, preferably in the city, so that there will be more traffic. What do you think?"
"You're right. I'm planning to open one downtown, too. It's only a few dozen miles from home, so it's quite convenient."
She said, feeling a little depressed again, "Doesn't that mean I have to go home?"
"If you think someone is capable of doing this, that's fine too."
Chen Yuan said this, but Su Wan understood what he meant.
With the reform and opening up, even clothing stores can be opened by simply scraping some white putty, but the kind she wants to open is the kind that is displayed in windows in later generations.
