Chapter 28 Big Loss
She has run a shop in this market for many years. She has been running this clothing store here since it was allowed to open shops. She took advantage of some conveniences and did make a lot of money at the beginning.
But over the years, with more and more competitors, the profits of her store have been getting lower and lower.
But at least I won’t starve to death.
The proprietress originally thought that since she had no other skills, no serious company wanted her at her age, and she had no other connections, she might as well just sell one day at a time.
As long as there is business, we will continue to open and sell.
Sell until you can’t sell anymore.
In the words of later generations, the proprietress was just giving up.
But she has been selling clothes for so many years that she still has some market sensitivity.
The clothes that Xia Keqing and the other three were wearing were all from her store. They looked ordinary at first glance, but after being matched by this little girl, they immediately looked different, as if even the texture had been raised to a higher level.
If this little girl can bring more people to buy clothes, will she still lack business?
Even though her clothes are in tatters, who would complain that others buy too much?
Why bother showing off when you have business?
Why don’t you take action now?
So she immediately stood up and greeted Xia Keqing and the other three enthusiastically, "Oh, little girls, this is incredible! Are the clothes you are wearing from my store?"
Xia Keqing couldn't help laughing, "Madam boss is really good at joking. Didn't I find all the clothes in the store? If they're not from your store, where else could they come from?"
He Xiaolan also said: "That's right, Madam Boss, aren't these clothes all from your store?"
The proprietress slapped her thigh and said, "I was praising you for your good taste, little girl."
Xia Keqing thought this proprietress was really interesting. She not only praised her but also praised herself.
Looking at the boss lady's attitude, Xia Keqing knew that her ideas would most likely be realized. Not only that, but she could even get the boss lady's full cooperation.
Don't speak in secret in front of others.
She immediately offered to coordinate the clothes in the store.
"Madam, do you have those plastic models in your store?"
It's the kind of mannequins that are placed in display windows.
Most clothing stores have this kind of display rack.
But this is a market dominated by the low-end market, so there won’t be much of this kind of thing.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have one. You can make one custom made out of wood and foam."
The boss lady's eyes lit up like a 100-watt light bulb, "Yes, sister, you understand, just do as you say!"
He Xiaolan was stunned. "Boss lady, do you know Keqing from our family?"
The proprietress, Yu Hong, is also very outgoing.
"I know you two girls. Didn't you two just buy clothes from me? You are students from the university across the street, right?"
In this day and age, people who have the courage to open a store and do business are basically not socially anxious.
Xia Keqing suddenly recalled the fear of being dominated by the old lady Sheniu in her previous life.
Xia Keqing is not considered socially anxious, but most modern people have clearly defined psychological defenses when interacting with each other.
But people of this era really don’t have that.
She remembered that in her previous life, an old lady moved to the village within a village where she rented a house. She said that her house was demolished and she had no place to live, so she moved to the village within the city. As a result, the old lady became familiar with the entire street overnight.
Anyone who passes by her can chat with her.
If you think about it, if this old lady traveled back to the 1980s like her, she would be about the same age as the proprietress in front of her. Otherwise, how can you call it a social cow?
With the precedent of the old lady, Xia Keqing was not at all surprised by the proprietress's familiarity.
Since they had already handed her the ladder, she would be sorry if she didn't climb up, so she immediately climbed up. "Yes, the boss lady has a good memory."
Yu Hong waved her hand, very modestly, "What boss lady? I'm just trying to make a living."
"My name is Yu Hong. I'm a few years older than you. Just call me Aunt Yu."
Xia Keqing smiled and said, "Why call me aunt? Sister Yu looks only a few years older than us!"
Yu Hong was stunned and touched her face. "Oh, you are really good at talking, little girl. Is your mouth filled with honey?"
No woman can resist being called younger.
Although you know your own age very well, when you are complimented and praised for looking very young, any woman will inevitably fall into self-doubt: Do I really look that young?
Then I was overjoyed.
The three roommates were not stupid either, and they all called out "Sister Yu".
Yu Hong's attitude suddenly became more enthusiastic.
"It's great to be young. When you're young, you look good in anything you wear. Do you want to take a look at the clothes here?"
Yu Hong has been selling clothes for so many years and has some experience.
For example, the clothes hanging outside are those with high profits and common styles.
This type of clothes is cheap, of decent quality, and has common styles. It basically meets the psychological expectations of most people, so it's worth buying one when you see it.
The size is considered a new piece of clothing.
Yu Hong herself is a bit picky, and she only chooses clothes of good quality.
But everyone has different tastes. Even if the clothes she carefully selected are not liked by most people, she is happy to hang them inside so that she can be happy looking at them.
And the quality of these clothes is better too.
She called Xia Keqing and the other two to come in and choose, intending to give them a discount.
Besides, it would be easier to talk inside. There would be too many people outside and gossips would spread everywhere. If other competitors saw her intention and snatched away the treasure in front of her, she would suffer a great loss.
Xia Keqing understood what she meant.
I immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I want to buy another set of clothes today, so I have to go in and see what Sister Yu has in store."
From the perspective of later generations, the clothes hung inside were indeed more exquisite in style and made of better fabrics.
And it can be seen that Yu Hong also puts a lot of effort into choosing clothes.
But it is very likely that everyone's aesthetic talent is innate, and some things cannot be forced.
Of course, this is not to say that Yu Hong’s aesthetic taste is bad, but there are indeed many problems with her matching.
For example, a loose Dacron top can be paired with loose Dacron straight pants.
Needless to say, there is soil visible to the naked eye.
Add in the small floral prints and it's simply too tacky.
Xia Keqing was very glad that she was standing on the shoulders of giants.
She immediately pointed out Yu Hong's problem.
Yu Hong was a little unconvinced at first.
It's probably something like, even though you call me sister and praise me for my youth, I am so many years older than you after all. How much better can a little girl like you really be than me in terms of vision?
But when she took out Zhao Juan's size and tried them on for comparison, Yu Hong was immediately convinced.
"Young people have a different perspective. I'm too old to be useful to them."
Xia Keqing took the opportunity to propose cooperation, "Sister Yu, how many years have you opened this shop?"
Yu Hong told the truth, but kept some of it to herself.
Xia Keqing continued, "Do you want to continue running the business and make it bigger and stronger?"
Yu Hong smiled and said without even thinking: "Yes, of course. Who doesn't want to do big business and make a lot of money?"
Xia Keqing admired Yu Hong's honesty very much.
…
More than an hour later, Xia Keqing and four of her roommates came out of Yu Hong's clothing store with a lot of stuff.
