Chapter 115 Losing Money



The next day.

Early in the morning, Quan Shuxi saw Zhao Lanxi and Song Qianqian park a large truckload of clothes not far from the entrance of the department store.

This place is closer to the entrance of the department store than where they usually set up their stall.

Song Qianqian got out of the car and frowned when she saw the platform that had suddenly been set up at the entrance of the department store. She walked over to Zhao Lanxi, who was having the driver help her move goods, and asked her with concern.

"Cousin, look at that platform at the entrance of the department store. It looks like they're going to have some kind of event today."

"Do we really want to continue setting up a stall here?"

Ever since Song Qianqian learned from Zhao Lanxi last night that Jiang Yue was really going to cooperate with the department store to sell clothes, she felt that they definitely couldn't outsell Jiang Yue.

She tried to persuade Zhao Lanxi, but Zhao Lanxi not only ignored her advice, but today she also hired a car to bring over all the finished clothes from the workshop and sold them at a reduced price.

He was determined to compete with Jiang Yue.

"What's wrong with them having promotions? Even if Jiang Yue organizes a great promotion, is it as tempting as a price reduction?"

Zhao Lanxi didn't take Jiang Yue's activities seriously, saying, "Watching those performances is less worthwhile than buying a couple of cheap clothes."

Song Qianqian didn't dare to say anything more and lowered her head to clean up the stall.

The stage at the department store has been set up, and department store staff are carrying and placing packaged gift boxes on it.

Gift boxes come in both large and small sizes.

Quan Shuxi stood with Manager Song of the department store, looking at the items on the stage, his eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.

"Why didn't I think of such a great idea before?"

Manager Song truly admired Quan Shuxi for coming up with the idea of ​​giving away gifts to customers who spent a certain amount at the department store, even if they spent little money, as they could still participate in the lucky draw.

The best prizes were a sewing machine and a bicycle.

The sewing machine was sponsored by Quan Shuxi, and the bicycle was provided by Manager Song to promote the clothes.

In addition to these, there are toothbrushes, soap, towels, thermos flasks, washbasins...

There's a lot of stuff.

However, these things are not worth much money; they were all prepared by Manager Song.

All the gifts were laid out on the table, and some of the new clothes were also brought out and displayed outside. A bright red list of the event details and gifts was posted.

Zhao Lanxi and Song Qianqian had also set up their stalls over there.

Zhao Lanxi handed the prepared megaphone to Song Qianqian, "Qianqian, just shout according to what we thought we'd do last night. Don't let your cousin down."

Zhao Lanxi certainly wouldn't be going to stand here with a megaphone and shout, so she handed the job over to Song Qianqian.

Song Qianqian was somewhat unwilling. Zhao Lanxi was afraid of losing face, but wasn't she afraid too?

However, in order to earn money, Song Qianqian had no choice but to endure it and shouted loudly through a megaphone.

"Don't miss out! Huge clothing sale today, come check it out..."

Manager Song, who had been smiling, froze on his lips upon hearing the loudspeaker's announcement. "Do they think they're the only ones with loudspeakers?"

snort!

"Xiao Zhang, Xiao Li, and Xiao Xu, you three stop what you're doing and go get three loudspeakers. Let's shout too, and make sure we suppress them."

Manager Song pointed at the three men and said, "You three, shout loudly today. If you do a good job, you'll each get a ten-yuan bonus."

How much is a month's salary now?

Ten yuan is a lot of money.

The three were overjoyed. "Don't worry, manager, I guarantee that the guests will only be able to hear our voices later."

Quan Shu said happily, "You don't need to shout anything else. Just tell everyone about our activities today, and then introduce our new clothes. Just introduce them as I told you yesterday."

Who wouldn't like it when you get something for free with every purchase, plus a free lucky draw where you might win a sewing machine or a bicycle?

In addition, the clothes they wear are now better looking than those worn by Zhao Lanxi, and they are also cheaper.

Anyone who has seen it knows whose product to buy.

Soon, a loudspeaker was brought out, and the department store area instantly became lively.

A few women who had just been browsing clothes at Zhao Lanxi's stall heard that the department store was giving away free soap, thermos flasks, and a lucky draw with every purchase...

Is it possible to win a sewing machine or a bicycle in the lottery?

The men's eyes lit up instantly. They put the clothes on the stall and turned to walk towards the department store.

As soon as they reached the door, they saw the brand-new sewing machine and bicycle on the table.

There's also a row of clothes displayed at the entrance, even more stylish than those on the other stalls. And if you buy these clothes now, they'll be perfect to wear in a couple of days when the weather gets a little cooler.

They were just worried about buying clothes for the changing season, and what a coincidence! They could buy clothes, get free gifts, and even enter a lucky draw.

More and more people were drawn to the event, and some even went home and invited their sisters, sisters-in-law, and acquaintances over.

Even when the department store first opened, it was never this popular.

No matter how much Song Qianqian shouted from a short distance away, even after her voice became hoarse, not a single person came to the stall.

"Cousin, what do we do now?"

Song Qianqian's throat hurt, and she asked Zhao Lanxi in a hoarse voice.

Zhao Lanxi stared at the department store over there, her eyes blazing with fury. "What else can we do but keep shouting?"

They brought all the clothes here; are they going to take them back exactly as they were?

Song Qianqian pursed her lips, could only take a sip of water first, and continue shouting.

"Don't miss out! Huge clothing sale..."

"Little girl, stop shouting."

An older woman who had just returned from shopping at the department store kindly reminded Song Qianqian, "Your clothes aren't as nice as those at the department store. Besides, these clothes are fine to wear now, but you won't be able to wear them when it gets cold in a couple of days. And they even give away freebies; someone just won a watch in the raffle."

Although she didn't win a watch, she did win a thermos, and the person also gave her a towel as a gift.

She only bought two pieces of clothing, which didn't cost much. She really made a profit today.

"Sister, just because you don't buy our clothes doesn't mean you can say they're bad, right?"

Zhao Lanxi was already angry, and hearing this woman say that only fueled her anger.

The older woman pouted, "Your clothes aren't as nice as theirs to begin with, and you won't even let me tell the truth?"

"Besides, even with your discounts, it's still not cheaper than what other places sell it for, and you don't give away any freebies. Only a fool would buy from you."

"you……"

Zhao Lanxi was furious, but Song Qianqian, fearing she would get into an argument, quickly stopped her.

"Cousin, don't be angry. We're doing business, and it's not good if people see us."

Song Qianqian whispered her advice.

No wonder Zhao Lanxi was angry and anxious. All the money they had earned from selling clothes before had been invested in this batch of clothes, and they still owed wages to the workers in the workshop.

If these clothes don't sell, how will they pay their wages?
