The shop owner is in his forties and seems to have a good living condition. He eats well and looks very lucky.
He counted the goods swiftly and issued invoices to several people. After they left carrying the large sacks, the shop owner happily took out the account book to calculate the profit. The more he calculated, the brighter his eyes became, and he knew that he had made a lot of money.
The shop owner put away the account book and looked at Yang Niannian, who was still standing outside the door looking at clothes. He asked with a smile, squinting his eyes, as if he had seen the God of Wealth.
"Little girl, you've been standing there for quite some time. Is this your first time wholesale clothing?"
"Brother, this is indeed my first time here."
The shop owner looked quite shrewd. Since it was her first time doing business and she had no experience, it was no use pretending to be an experienced person, so she simply admitted it.
Anyway, she is not stupid, she can just deal with it as it happens.
The shop owner waved at Yang Niannian and said, "Don't stand outside. Come in and see what clothes you like. I'll give them to you at the regular customer price."
Yang Niannian didn't believe him. She didn't ask about the price of the clothes, but the style. "Which style did those people take just now?"
The shop owner originally thought that Yang Niannian was just a gullible girl, but when he heard her ask this, he couldn't help but look at her seriously for a while.
The girl was quite smart. She knew that he was a wholesaler and understood the market conditions.
However smart you are, you are still young and inexperienced.
The shop owner pulled over a pair of black trousers next to him and showed them to Yang Niannian.
"Little girl, let me tell you, you just started your business, you don't need to take any other goods, just take these pants. I guarantee that you can sell as many as you take. If you sell these pants for a month, you can buy a bicycle and build a new house."
Yang Niannian took the pants and took a look at them, and was completely stunned.
It turned out to be the very popular stepped pants. You know, these pants are popular among everyone from young girls to middle-aged women.
How popular is it?
It is no exaggeration to say that women in almost every household have worn it.
But she had never seen any women wearing ankle-length pants on the street.
Moreover, the goods that those bosses took were not black...
The boss is lying.
Most likely, other vendors think that this kind of pants are not easy to sell and are unwilling to take the goods. The boss is worried that this batch of goods will not sell well and will lose money, thus cheating her, a newbie.
She really has to thank her ancestors for allowing her to travel through time with her memories, otherwise, she would definitely not sell these pants.
Yang Niannian blinked and pretended to be disgusted, "Boss, these pants look weird. Why is there an extra piece of cloth underneath? How can I wear them? Will anyone buy them?"
"Put it on like this, with the bottom part under your feet." The boss demonstrated how to put it on in a serious manner. "Let me tell you, these pants are imported from big cities. I'm the only one in the market that has them."
"This is my first time doing business, and I feel uneasy. How about I take a smaller amount and try to sell it?" Yang Niannian said in a dilemma.
"This is a wholesale market. The minimum order quantity is thirty pieces. You can't go below that."
Fortunately, there was no one at the stall at the moment. If there were more customers, he really wouldn't be interested in serving such a small business. "How about this, I'll give it to you at 7 yuan a pair. When I sell it to others, it's always 8 yuan a pair. If you take these pants to the street, you can sell them for 20 yuan a pair, absolutely no problem."
People's incomes in this era are not high, but items such as clothing and electrical appliances are not cheap, materials are scarce, and production costs are high.
Yang Niannian guessed that wholesale clothing would cost a lot of money, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive.
She only had 130 yuan on her, and wholesale of 30 pieces would cost 210 yuan. If the boss knew that this was all she had, he would probably have kicked her out.
The cropped pants are a big opportunity that cannot be missed.
This boss is very smart. Seven dollars is definitely not the lowest price.
Yang Niannian pretended to be angry. "My relative said that she bought trousers wholesale in Haicheng for four or five yuan a pair, but you asked for seven yuan. That's too much. Forget it, I won't approve it."
She turned and left. The boss became anxious because his wife had an argument with him because of these pants and she didn't come to the stall to help today.
We finally found a sucker, we can’t let her get away.
The boss chased to the door and explained in a gentle voice, "Little girl, the style of the pants your relative bought wholesale is different from this one. I also have pants that cost four or five yuan a pair. The style and quality of those pants are not as good as this one. You must be dissatisfied with them."
Yang Niannian said with a stern face, "My relative said that no matter what kind of pants, if they cost more than five yuan a pair, you can't take them. If you can accept this price, I will take twenty pairs first."
Fearing that Yang Niannian would really leave, the boss nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll give you 20 pairs. If it weren't for the fact that you're a young girl and it's not easy to do business, I wouldn't sell these pants wholesale for less than 30 pairs."
He turned and went into the store, and directly took out a bundle of pants for her, "One hundred yuan, if it sells well, next time you buy goods, you can't take so little. This time is your first time doing business, so I'll set a precedent for you."
Yang Niannian's attitude changed 180 degrees, and she replied with a smile, "Okay, I'll review fifty next time."
After saying that, she turned her back to the boss, took out money from her pocket, took out three bills and put them back into her pocket, handed the rest of the money to the boss, and asked for a snakeskin bag from the boss to pack her clothes.
The boss grumbled that he was not making any money but was still losing money on a bag.
Yang Niannian went to the vegetable market with her pants on her back and bought some vegetables and eggs. This time she calculated the time and finally did not miss the shopping cart.
The soldier also became familiar with Yang Niannian. He called her "sister-in-law" affectionately and helped Yang Niannian get things.
"Sister-in-law, what did you buy? Why is it so heavy?"
"I bought some bed sheets and clothes." Yang Niannian made up an excuse.
It was almost time for lunch when they returned to the family compound. The women at home were busy cooking and there was no one in the yard. Yang Niannian was a little happy because she didn't want to be too conspicuous.
Covered in sweat and smelling of sweat, Yang Niannian put her things away and planned to take a shower. Then, she had an idea and took out a pair of stirrup pants from the snakeskin bag.
After taking a shower, she changed into cropped pants, walked into the yard and looked around.
These pants have good stretch and are comfortable to wear, but they are very tacky.
"Niannian, your pants are so nice. Where did you buy them?" Wang Fengjiao's voice came from outside the yard.
Yang Niannian looked at Wang Fengjiao who was coming over, her mouth twitched, and asked uncertainly, "Sister Wang, do you really think these pants look good?"
"Of course." Wang Fengjiao stared at her long legs, her eyes shining. "Before, you were wearing loose pants, so I didn't notice how thin your waist is. My thighs are almost as thick as your waist. And your legs are so thin and long. How did they grow? They are so beautiful."
There is no woman who doesn't like to be praised, and Yang Niannian is no exception. She was so happy to be praised that she smiled from ear to ear.
"Sister Wang, I'm not as good as you say. It's the black pants that make me look thinner."
