The goods were moved to the backyard, where the two largest rooms had been prepared for moisture control, and two large shelves had been placed inside.
Chen Jing and a group of his underlings carried the goods into the backyard, then opened the boxes, checked the inventory according to the receiving list, put them into storage, and then selected styles.
This time, we are offering more than 20 styles, including the latest spring collection and over 200 pieces of winter wool sweaters.
March in Beijing is still chilly; spring clothes are a bit thin, but sweaters are just right.
Upon seeing the opened boxes, a group of henchmen exclaimed in surprise, "These are all clothes?"
"Of course, it's clothes, and all of them are the latest spring styles."
Chen Jing laughed and, while teaching them how to pick items by size and style, said, "You guys want to make money, right? Today I'll teach you how to make money."
They selected the goods, checked the purchase price of each style, set the selling price, and had someone prepare thirty or forty clothes hangers and a shelf more than a meter high.
With preparations complete, Chen Jing led them, carrying the goods, to Wangfujing Street.
In the past two years, with the trend of economic liberalization, many more stalls and vendors have appeared on Wangfujing Street, selling food, drinks, daily necessities, and even livestock raised by farmers in the suburbs.
Chen Jing and his four brothers set up a shelf on the sidewalk of Wangfujing Street, picking out three sizes (small, medium, and large) of each style of sweater and hanging them on the shelf using hangers.
As the group chatted and laughed while displaying their wares, someone curiously gathered around: "Are these sweaters for sale?"
"Yes, this sweater is the latest fashionable style from Hong Kong Island in the south. It's elegant and flattering, and it complements your skin tone perfectly. Beautiful lady, come on, even if you don't buy it, you can still take a look."
Chen Jing glanced at the young woman, then picked out a sophisticated and elegant sweater, fitted long skirt, and a light jacket, holding it up to her chest to show her off. He then smiled and greeted the people around him, "Feel free to look around and choose whatever you like. These are the latest spring clothes. First come, first served! Grab them while you can if you see something you like..."
The style was indeed beautiful. The young woman simply held it up to her chest to show off, and several girls gathered around the shelf, stroking the thick, stylish sweater.
Seeing this, Chen Jing diligently introduced the features of the styles while recommending dresses based on each person's body shape, skin tone, and temperament. Before long, some people had already begun to be interested.
Someone carefully asked, holding up a dress, "How much is this sweater dress?"
"This one? This one is 58 yuan, a pure wool waist-cinching dress, both stylish and warm. The wool coat is 48 yuan. If you buy the whole set, you get a one yuan discount. Today is our first day of business, and the first eight customers who pay will receive a small gift."
A little girl couldn't help but ask, "What kind of small gift should we give?"
"Send a corsage or hair accessory. It would look perfect with our new sweater."
As he spoke, he pulled out a bag and took out some beautiful woven hair accessories or crocheted corsages, which looked stunning with his dress that day.
There were only eight pieces of jewelry, and I heard that only the first eight purchases would receive a free gift. Immediately, two girls came up with dresses and asked him to pack them up.
While packing, Chen Jing winked at his few henchmen who were too embarrassed to ask for help, signaling them to come forward and assist.
Once there was a first order, there was a second. The fabrics were thick and warm, the styles were fashionable, and there were also gifts. Soon, eight orders were placed, and the eight free gifts were all given away.
Wool dresses are not cheap; a simple set can easily cost over a hundred yuan. However, these wool sweaters are made of pure wool and are of superior quality.
Without the free gifts, the younger employees were worried that it might affect sales, but they soon found that their worries were unnecessary.
Without the free gifts, a few customers complained for a while, but when they heard that the stock was limited and some items were sold out immediately, they bought them without hesitation.
They brought forty sets with them when they came out, totaling more than ninety pieces, and the group cleared them all out in just two hours.
After packing up the empty clothes racks and returning to the courtyard, Chen Jing counted the money he had received. The forty sets had brought in nearly four thousand yuan.
While checking the receipts, Chen Jing counted the money, and finally totaled: "The amount matches up. All sold for 4,342 yuan, with a profit of 692 yuan."
"Over six hundred?"
When Wang Yuan saw the neatly folded money, he couldn't help but swallow hard.
The other underlings also looked on with eager eyes: "Brother Jing, can you teach us? We want to learn how to make money from you too."
Chen Jing put the money away and threw the remaining ninety-two yuan in front of them with a thud: "You've helped a lot today, take this and go have a good meal, consider it my treat."
Four people, ninety-two yuan, twenty-three yuan each, that's almost a month's income.
A while ago, they would have felt very excited and thrilled.
But seeing how fast Chen Jing was making money today, the henchmen hesitated for a moment, then pushed it back.
Wang Yuan whispered, "Brother Jing, we're helping willingly, so we don't need to pay you. Can you teach us how to make money instead?"
"Yes, yes, Brother Yuan is right. Brother Jing, we don't want wages, we want to learn how to make money from you."
"Do I need to be taught? Can't you see how we make money today? Can't you learn?"
Chen Jing laughed and gestured towards the goods in the warehouse: "We have goods here. If you want to make money, just pool your money and come here to buy more, right?"
Their eyes lit up, and Xiao Hui cautiously asked, "Brother Jing, what are you going to do with these goods if you give them to us?"
"I can get six hundred items sent from the south, and next time I can get a thousand. You can worry about your own business."
The henchmen's eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but glance at Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan chuckled and asked in a low voice, "Brother Jing, what do you mean?"
Chen Jing patted them on the shoulder: "I'll be in charge of sourcing the goods from the south and wholesaling them to you. After you buy them, you can set up a stall and sell them just like you did today. The profits are yours."
"Of course, this is my purchase price. I need to cover shipping and other expenses, so I will increase the price by one yuan per item."
Chen Jing generously patted the delivery list on the table, letting them see the purchase price.
If the wholesale price of each item increases by one yuan, a few people won't even notice.
They made at least six to eight yuan on each sweater they sold today. Chen Jing had it transported from afar, so raising the selling price by one yuan is only fair.
Wang Yuan and his henchmen were overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "No problem, Brother Jing, even two yuan is not much, let alone one yuan."
Chen Jing shook his head and chuckled upon hearing this: "However, I have no problem wholesaling to you for resale, but you also need to make capital when you buy from me. A sweater costs at least thirty yuan and as much as forty or fifty yuan. Do you have the capital?"
