Chapter 108 Duck Down Jackets Sell Out
Grandma Zhao heated up the food she cooked at noon and served it to Su Wan.
After finishing her meal, Su Wan looked at the down coat that Grandma Zhao was wearing, guessing that her second brother had brought it. She touched Grandma Zhao's hand and saw that she was warm. Then she spoke, "Grandma Zhao, please stay home and warm yourself by the fire. I'll go find my second brother."
Hearing this, Grandma Zhao didn't say anything.
After leaving Grandma Zhao's house, Su Wan quickly went to the clothing store.
As soon as she reached the corner of the street, she saw that the door of the store in front was crowded with people. They seemed to be grabbing clothes and were about to break the threshold.
Su Wan hurried in and saw those people holding money and buying duck down jackets.
"Second brother."
Su Wan shouted and hurried to help with the business.
Most of these people were buying duck down jackets. The long duck down jackets that cost eighty-nine yuan each were undoubtedly popular in this small county town where the temperature was more than ten degrees below zero.
People who have worn it say that it is more comfortable than winter clothes, it is light and warm, and the key is that the clothes are long, so they are not afraid of being cold when wearing them.
In previous years, the lowest temperature in the county town was only a few degrees below zero, which is really rare as it is this year.
The down jackets were sold out very quickly. After they had sorted the goods, Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
She leaned against the wall and realized that there were two more clerks in the store, probably temporary workers.
"Boss, when did you come back?"
Qian Juan looked at Su Wan and asked curiously.
She was selling outside just now, while Qian Juan and Zhao Ni were selling goods inside. They were both very busy and of course didn't know Su Wan was back.
"I arrived at noon."
Su Wan then asked Su Jianguo, "Brother, these down jackets are so popular, how many have you sold?"
Su Jianguo happily gave her a three sign. Su Wan was surprised, "Three thousand pieces?"
Su Jianguo shook his head. "More than 30,000 pieces. I sensed something was wrong when the temperature dropped half a month ago. He Jun had already stocked up on the goods requested from Beijing, but we didn't expect them to sell out as soon as we got them back. The temperature dropped so quickly, and we're near the sea with a strong breeze. People know down jackets are comfortable, so they all came to buy them."
He Jun is the only guy in the market who has these trendy long down jackets. We've made a killing! Their down jackets are selling even better than ours. They've brought in over 60,000 pieces, and another 30,000 were shipped out yesterday."
When talking about making money, Su Jianguo was very happy.
He added, "We don't just sell here. My eldest brother and his family are fine now. Except for the day at the building materials store, my second brother and my youngest brother all went to sell elsewhere. I reckon they'll make a killing."
Because only He Jun has such duck down jackets, and their stock is very tight. Even if other people want to buy them, they have almost sold them all, so why would they care about them?
Su Wan felt very emotional when she thought about the money she had earned during this period.
Recalling something, he asked Su Jianguo, "There are so many clothes, and the purchase price is also high. Where did you get so much money?"
Su Jianguo chuckled, "We agreed that the money can be given to him later, and there's no need to pay it every day. The owner of the garment factory is his uncle, and he said some good things over there. We want a lot of goods, so this time we can pay him as we sell them."
"Once the funds are liquidated, we have to pay him as soon as possible. We can't delay paying him just because he's easy to talk to."
"Don't worry, I know everything."
Thinking about the tiredness during this period, Su Jianguo felt that it was all worth it.
He also specially hired two short-term workers to help, and worked very hard when selling goods. He now felt very proud and looked at Su Wan with a smile on his face.
"Little sister, what took you so long?"
"Thankfully, Comrade Xu sent me to Guangzhou due to the blizzard, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have been able to come back."
Speaking of this, Su Jianguo was also worried, "I wonder how my brother-in-law is doing now?"
Su Wan was also very worried about Chen Yuan, but she still said, "Don't worry, when I left, the academy had already brought back a lot of food, enough for them to eat this winter."
As for whether the food is good or not, that is not something she can consider.
She knew that due to the limitations of underdeveloped science, they could only protect themselves first. As for the problem of communication, they could only deal with it after the blizzard was over.
The snowstorm from the end of 1983 to 1984 was not as severe as the one in 2008, because there were too few cars in the 1980s, every household still burned firewood, and all the food was kept at home, so it would not have much impact.
Thinking of this, Su Wan felt relieved.
This kind of weather is quite good for those who make clothes. After all, they are the only ones who sell duck down jackets, so the money they earn is naturally exclusive.
She couldn't help but feel lucky, this was really amazing luck.
She helped sell clothes for the next few days. On the 29th day of the lunar year, after they had sold all the clothes, they decided not to open the store again.
Because of the heavy snow, Qian Juan and Zhao Ni chose to celebrate the New Year in Guangdong Province.
Of course, they sent money back home early in the morning, bought sweaters and down jackets from the store at wholesale prices, and sent the shoes back early.
In the evening, Su Wan and Su Jianguo counted the accounts together and found that apart from the costs, they actually made more than two million from this cold wave.
After repeated confirmation, Su Jianguo said to Su Wan with trembling lips, "Little sister, pinch me."
"What's there to argue about? It's just this number."
People from the entire county buy down jackets from them. They are already making a lot of money, and making this fortune is undoubtedly a gift from God.
"We still have some in the provincial capital. They bought 73,000 pieces. Mom called yesterday and said they've sold them all. Adding our profits from other months, Mom said after calculating everything, there's 3.7 million in our savings account. It feels like a dream."
Su Wan also felt like she was dreaming.
But this was not an easy task. In the heavy snow, her parents and Chen Yuan's parents, together with their uncles and aunts, all went to help sell the down jackets in order to sell them.
Su Wan also generously asked her mother to give 3,000 yuan, a box of special Maotai, three packs of cigarettes, and two cans of milk powder to each of her uncles and aunts.
She knew that without the help of her family, she would not be able to earn so much money.
Looking at the figures on the account, Su Wan smiled. "Brother, I plan to buy a house in Beijing. Do you want to buy a house there?"
Su Jianguo nodded, "What my little sister said must make sense. From now on, take me with you whenever you do something. I will go with you."
He is now a die-hard fan of Su Wan, because his younger sister owns 60% of the clothing store and he owns 40%, with a profit of nearly 6 million in just two months. He feels like he is dreaming.
