Chapter 341 A Good Start
"That's fine! Tell me, how much cheaper can it be? If I think it's suitable, I'll go back and ask my daughter to come over and try it out. Not only for me, but also for my family."
Lu Donglin calculated in his mind and gave her a price.
The other party said, "This price is still high. You said you would give me a discount, but why is it like there is no discount at all?"
Lu Donglin said, "You see, you get what you pay for. At this price, buying a few pieces is equivalent to having one custom-made here. The material of the same style skirt may not be as good as ours, and you may not be able to buy it at the department store at this price."
"We only got this batch of goods. Although it's not custom-made, the same style can't be sold out everywhere. We don't know when we'll get the next batch!"
"I just took a look at this skirt. There are only a few sizes available, and each size is one piece. If you think it's expensive, you can think about it again. I'm thinking that by the time you've made your decision, there might not be anything suitable."
After he said that, the other party really considered it: "Okay, then you have to keep it for me. We agreed that my home is nearby. I'll go back and tell our daughter, she happens to be at home today!"
"I'll ask her to come over and give it a try. If it works, I'll take it!"
After Lu Donglin agreed, she picked up the clothes she had bought earlier and her pockets, twisted her slightly plump waist, and left quickly.
Lu Donglin didn't care, and didn't think she would really buy anything. No matter how cheap she said, he would still ask for less. A piece of clothing cost dozens of yuan, and that kind of money didn't come from the wind. Who could afford to buy so many clothes at once?
He left the doors on both sides open and continued to work.
But after a while, people really came, and it wasn't just one or two people, but five or six people came.
People standing by the door saw that there was a lot of activity and came over, and business just boomed.
The clothes sold by Ai Shang are very expensive. Normally, we only do three or five business a day, and sometimes we may not even do one business all day long.
This was the first time this happened. I was blocked in the house and couldn't get the goods.
Lu Donglin himself felt it was shameful to look at those wrinkled clothes that had just been taken out of the packaging, but these people held them in their hands as if they were treasures.
This one asks the price, that one asks the price, this one also bargains, asking for a lower price, that one also bargains, asking for a lower price.
He felt that his eyes were not enough to see, and his mouth was not enough to speak, and he had no idea who to answer first.
This is what Lu Dongping saw after he came back from the department store buying clothes hangers.
When he returned, Lu Donglin was no longer so panicked. Someone was helping to watch over the place and collect the money, so Lu Donglin just kept selling things to people, calling them "sisters" and "aunties." People who bought things would go back to promote their products and play gg. When people nearby heard that there were clothes coming in from Guangzhou, they all rushed over.
After so many years of material shortages, everything became new as the spring breeze of reform and opening up blew.
After Wen Wan figured out the situation, she and Li Laiyu rushed to help.
Everything that could be ironed was ironed temporarily. Wen Wan and Lu Donglin helped to introduce them, while Lu Dongping stood outside watching and collecting money.
Li Lai Yu didn't like dealing with people, so he just worked in the back doing logistics and helping with ironing clothes.
The division of labor is clear, and things are finally less chaotic.
After working for several hours, Lu Donglin finally wiped the sweat from his forehead and filled a large teacup of water after everyone had dispersed. "Oh my god, this situation is almost out of control. These people in the big cities are really too rich. They buy clothes like cabbage and radishes."
Wen Wan smiled and said, "I didn't realize you were so capable." In the blink of an eye, the market was opened up.
After receiving the compliment, Lu Donglin smiled so hard that his teeth showed. "Then I still have to continue learning. I also learned this from you, sister-in-law. Otherwise, I would not know anything. This scene scared me so much that I was stunned."
He was so excited that he couldn't calm down for the time being. He called out to Lu Dongping, "Brother, hurry up, let's sort out the goods and see how much is left. You count the money and see if it adds up."
"Oh my god! This is the first time I've encountered so many people. It's so chaotic. Someone must have stolen something. I feel like the clothes hanging next door are missing."
Wen Wan comforted him, "Those are just minor matters. With so many people here, there will definitely be people who take advantage of the situation and try to steal. I was careless today. I need to make a good plan from now on to avoid this kind of situation."
It doesn't matter if someone takes away one or two pieces of clothes. After all, today's income from this business is quite considerable.
Half of the clothes that Lu Dongping brought back were sold in just half a day.
Lu Donglin was a man of quick thinking. He could change his mind and ask for a price flexibly and aggressively. He could sell clothes for thirty dollars. If he met someone who didn't bargain, he would just take them away. If he met someone who bargained, he would reduce the price by one dollar at a time and never give up more than two dollars.
Even if only half of the clothes were sold, it would still be a huge profit, several times the price.
A few people cleaned up the chaotic scene a little, and then sat down to take a breath.
Lu Donglin was so happy that he jumped up and down after hearing Lu Dongping's rough estimate: "A good start! We've made a fortune!"
Wen Wan asked Lu Dongping, "I just brought the goods back. I haven't even had time to see what kind of goods you bought, and most of them have already been sold. What are your plans for the future?"
Lu Dongping said, "Of course we'll keep going. We've made such a good start that we absolutely can't let it go to waste. I was thinking of finding a suitable place to set up a stall outside in the next two days to see how sales go."
"I didn't expect that before I even had time to find a place, I'd benefit from you guys and lose most of my energy. I don't need to try again. Judging from the reaction today, it seems that this kind of life is still popular in the capital."
Wen Wan said, "If you're going to do this, then do it a little more formally. Businesses like this need to have absolute advantages and unique features, otherwise they'll be easily followed. Forget about setting up stalls or something like that. It's too tiring, and it's a waste of energy. If you think what I'm saying is feasible, then we can take some time out in the next few days to look around the university town for suitable shops. We can rent one, preferably one that's spacious. If we want to do this, we can expand it a bit."
"Open a good shop. Donglin will help you and take care of things here, and you can worry about the supply of goods." Brothers work together and they can achieve great things.
Lu Dongping said, "That won't work. I'll find a way myself. He can't leave. If he leaves, what are you going to do?"
Wen Wan said, "I'm just joking here. Ask him how many orders he can take in a day? If there is business, I will do it. If there is no business, I won't do it. It's custom-made anyway."
"If it doesn't work, I'll find someone else to watch the door."
"I think Donglin is really suitable for doing business. You should take good care of him."
Lu Dongping said: "Okay, let's just say this for now, and we'll discuss it in detail later." If we need to find a store, that will be another expense, so we naturally have to plan it carefully.
Lu Donglin asked Lu Dongping: "Brother, if we open a store, how will you be able to stock up on goods? How will you get the goods?"
Lu Dongping said, "I left the phone number at the market over there. I'll go to the nearby post office and find a phone to try and see if I can get through. If I can, I'll ask him to send another batch of the ones I took last time."
"I'll go over again once everything is ready."
Wen Wan nodded: "Okay, as long as you know what's going on, we can talk about the rest later. It's getting late, shall we go out and find a place to eat?"
Going out to find a place to eat?
This is a bit strange. Not to mention Lu Donglin, even Lu Dongping has never had a proper meal out in such a long time since he came to the capital.
Lu Dongping thought they were going to a state-owned restaurant, but he didn't expect Wen Wan to take them to a Western restaurant.
Except for Wenwan, most of them were trying Western food for the first time.
Wen Wan smiled and asked them, "Are you not used to it? You'll get used to it after coming a few times. The beef and mutton they cook here are especially good."
Then he handed the menu to Li Laiyu: "Take a look, what do you like to eat?"
Li Laiyu was in a good mood today and made a joke for the first time: "Is it Boss Lu who's treating us today?"
Wen Wan nodded: "Well, I'll treat you and he'll pay."
Li Laiyu said, "Then don't order, just have one of each." She had never eaten them before, so she didn't know which one was better. After she had tried them, she would order whichever one she liked.
Lu Dongping nodded: "Okay, then I'll give you one of each."
Wen Wan looked at him and smiled without saying anything.
After the meal, Lu Dongping and Lu Donglin's faces were distorted.
Except for some of the flavors which are normal, some of the flavors are really hard to describe, and the price is so expensive that it is a bit suffocating.
Lu Donglin endured it again and again and didn't lose his composure.
Although he knew that they made a lot of money today, he really felt pain in his flesh after spending so much money on a meal.
"Sister-in-law, why do so many people go here to eat even though the food here is so bad and so expensive?" They just saw a lot of people in the restaurant, and some of them knew Wen Wan and came over to say hello.
Wen Wan said: "How can I tell you this? You don't understand now, but you will understand later."
When they reached the entrance of Tonghua Lane, Wen Wan said to Li Laiyu, "Laiyu, would you please think carefully about what I told you this afternoon?"
She wasn't trying to take advantage of Li Laiyu, she was really thinking about Li Laiyu. Li Laiyu had little interest in his current profession and no interest in future work, but he showed great talent and interest in making clothes.
But she just doesn't like dealing with people, and she thinks this idea is perfect for Li Laiyu.
Good things made with good craftsmanship should be displayed so that they can bring the value they deserve.
Li Laiyu nodded: "Don't think about it, I think what you said is very good. I will give it to you when I finish it. I will do it like this in the future."
Wen Wan nodded: "Okay, then we'll talk about it in detail later."
Li Lai Yu waved and walked into the alley.
