Jianjun and Tingting found a place they had already chosen, which was close to their rented house and convenient for picking up their belongings.
The key is that there are a lot of people and a large flow of customers, so there will be many inquiries and many purchases.
They set up their stalls early, first arranging tables and chairs, and then displaying the items they wanted to sell, whether it was fabrics, clothes, electronic watches, radios, or cassette tapes.
Tingting and Jianjun prepared to attract these passing customers, so they turned on the radio and played a cassette tape to draw them in.
Jianjun and Tingting didn't plan to make a lot of money today. Their plan was to let everyone know that they were the second company besides the supply and marketing cooperative to sell radios.
Jianjun and his team are currently selling radios and electronic watches, which is relatively early for them. In another two years, this market will be booming.
What they need to do now is to quickly distribute their products and let everyone know that they are the second place to buy from, besides the supply and marketing cooperative.
Music started playing on Jianjun and Tingting's radio, and everyone around them, whether they were passersby, people buying vegetables, or vendors, turned to look at them.
Jianjun and Tingting wanted this effect; it was about making a strong first impression.
After the music ended, the people around were reluctant to leave. There weren't many other forms of entertainment available, so this was quite a novel experience for the people of this town.
"Mom, what's that thing they call that can play music? I've never seen one before. I want one too."
"I've seen this at the supply and marketing cooperative too. It's quite expensive. I'll go ask about it later."
"Hey, can you play one more? We haven't had enough yet."
"Grandpa, these are all radios. You all know how much they cost at the supply and marketing cooperative. Mine aren't that expensive."
"I still have quite a few digital watches, as well as clothes and fabrics. I've been so busy today. I also have a lot of popsicles to sell."
"Whoever likes it, just buy one. It'll be a very prestigious thing to do."
"Let me tell you, the quality of my radio is excellent. Come and take a look."
After Jianjun and Tingting finished talking, they started playing music to attract more people to watch. They believed that as long as someone knew about it, someone would buy it.
After all, everyone in town had a job and a fixed salary. Originally, you needed various coupons to buy a radio.
Moreover, in the past, only wealthy families could afford to buy radios. Now, Jianjun's radios are even cheaper than those from the supply and marketing cooperatives, and the quality is the same. I'm sure many people will buy them.
There was a boy in front of me who looked like he came from a well-off family. He came over and asked about the price of a radio.
How much does one of these cost?
"I'm selling this for 110, the tape is extra. This is much cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperative."
"Judging from your clothes and appearance, you're no ordinary person. You definitely know your stuff, and you understand everything I'm saying."
This young man named Liu Chu had wanted to buy a radio for a long time, but at that time you needed a coupon and it wasn't cheap, so he hadn't bought one yet.
What's more, with Jianjun and Tingting each praising him and seeing the envious looks from the crowd, he straightened his back and felt incredibly proud.
"That's really good. Here, you wait here while I go home to get the money. I'll be back in a bit."
"Okay, we'll be waiting for you," he said, and started playing music.
It's human nature to join in the fun; the more people there are, the more people will come to watch.
Jianjun and Tingting stopped playing a song and started shouting through a megaphone: "Come and take a look! These are all imported high-quality goods, including high-end clothing and fabrics."
The little girls began to look up and saw that there were many dresses and clothes displayed on the shelves above.
"It looks really good! It's different from the clothes in our supply and marketing cooperative. Look at the style, it's so fashionable."
"They said it's imported, let's go take a look."
Now, Jianjun and Tingting have everything that boys and girls like, with digital watches being the most popular among children.
"Jianjun, let's wait until it gets warmer before we sell popsicles. The price will be higher then. Next time we go, we'll order more."
"Okay, wife, I'll do as you say."
"You see, there are more people looking at them now than buying them."
"It's not cheap, and of course many people will be reluctant to spend the money, but that's okay."
"News doesn't travel as fast as it does in Xia City, so this isn't a good time for us to make money."
"Let's make some money first, then we won't do it this way anymore, it's too slow."
"Okay, got it."
The man named Liu Chu returned quickly and paid for the radio amidst envious glances from the crowd.
"You are our first customer, so we'll give you this cassette tape for free, but we also have a small request."
Upon hearing this, Liu Chu felt he had gotten a good deal. Not only was the radio cheaper than at the supply and marketing cooperative, but the cassette tape was also given away for free. What a great deal!
"Tell me what it is. If it's a small matter, I can help you."
"How about this, for the rest of the time, you take the radio out every day and play music on the street. Every 7 days, we'll send you a new cassette tape. Is that okay?"
Jianjun and he spoke in hushed tones. When Liu Chu heard this, he thought, "Oh, this works! I've gained face and I've got the tape."
"I also have a digital watch here, think about it."
"Okay, no problem, it'll be right on this street."
"Yes, it will only take a month."
"Okay, that's settled."
People around him looked on with envy when they saw that Liu Chu had bought a radio, which made Liu Chu feel very proud. He looked up and started playing music.
The street is now packed with people. Originally, they were all just there to watch the excitement, but after seeing Liu Chu buy it, many trendy young people started going home to get money to buy it themselves.
Many young men who have just started dating see such nice clothes and plan to buy one as a gift for their girlfriends, thinking that their relationship will go smoothly from there.
How much did your clothes cost?
"150"
"150? That's too expensive! It's more expensive than a radio!"
"How can they be the same? This is imported. Feel the fabric; it's not an ordinary product. Young man, you're quite handsome too. This will definitely make your girlfriend happy."
Those who were still hesitant gritted their teeth and decided to buy it after hearing what Tingting said.
Tingting and Jianjun exchanged a glance, quite pleased. They were going to make around 130 yuan from this one dress, so how could they not be happy?
For those who couldn't bear to buy such expensive clothes, Jianjun and Tingting started promoting fabrics, which were not cheap either, but much cheaper than ready-made clothes.
This fabric sold out very quickly, as it was the fastest-selling item. After all, the style of the clothes was what it was, and some skillful people were even planning to make one themselves, which would be more cost-effective.
