Sister Shi quickly curled her lips and said, "That won't work. If it's 100 pairs, it can only be a single batch. If others come, they will be mixed batches of 1,000 pairs."
Yun Mo pulled the other person's arm and acted coquettishly, "Sister Shi, please make an exception this time. The earrings in your stall are so beautiful. I want to get some of each type. Even if I can't sell them all when I go back, I can wear them myself or give them to friends."
Finally, the lady boss couldn't resist Yun Mo's constant nagging and agreed to sell her 100 pairs in a mixed batch.
"That means I'm making an exception for you. Others never buy 100 pairs of shoes in bulk."
"Thank you, Sister Shi. You are beautiful and kind. You will definitely make a fortune."
The lady boss was so coaxed that her eyes were wide open and she said, "Okay, then I'll lend you my good words."
After choosing the style and quantity, when checking out, Yun Mo pointed at Ling Jiang behind her and introduced him to Sister Shi, "Sister Shi, this is my eldest brother, his last name is Ling. I may not be able to come here often in the future, so my eldest brother will help me come and get the goods. He doesn't really understand women's preferences, so can you help him out and give him a taste?"
Sister Shi agreed readily.
People in their line of work like long-term business. If Yun Mo comes to get goods in the future, she will of course welcome her with open arms.
Before leaving, Yun Mo took out a bag of crispy peanuts from her bag and gave it to the other party. "Sister Shi, this is a specialty snack in our Jiang City. It's not worth much, but it can help you relieve boredom when you are bored. Please don't despise it."
Although a bag of peanuts was not worth much money, it was a thoughtful gift. Sister Shi happily accepted it and gave her and Zeng Fang two pairs of earrings each.
Everyone interacted with each other and that's how friendship was established.
After leaving Sister Shi's stall, Yun Mo went to the stalls selling scarves, hairpins, rings, necklaces, hair ties, and combs. She followed the same method and used sweet words to build relationships with the bosses, so as to get the goods at the lowest wholesale price and quantity.
The Ling brothers and the Zeng siblings followed behind Yun Mo, and they were full of admiration for Yun Mo's abilities and methods.
In the end, Yun Mo spent less than 100 yuan to purchase a total of 1,200 various small accessories.
After receiving the goods, Yun Mo took Ling Jiang to buy the tools needed for setting up the stall, such as small paper bags for jewelry.
Paper bags can be cheap or expensive. The cheap ones are made of ordinary white paper or kraft paper, ranging from one to three cents. The more expensive paper bags have exquisite patterns printed on them, and even the handles are not made of ordinary nylon or rope, but colorful ribbons. Of course, the price is much higher than ordinary paper bags.
Ling Jiangtu wanted to save money and thought that ordinary plain paper bags would be enough, but Yun Mo insisted on buying expensive ones.
"Brother, there are three most important things in business: quality, service, and packaging. If you have one of these three, your business will be able to continue. If you have two or even all three, you will definitely make a fortune."
As she spoke, Yun Mo took out the garnet earrings that Sister Shi had given her before and put them into an ordinary white paper bag. "If I sell this pair of earrings for 1.5 yuan, do you think it's expensive? Will you buy it?"
The four of them shook their heads.
Yun Mo smiled, turned around and picked up a palm-sized pink paper bag with a butterfly flower pattern printed on it. She flexibly twisted the ribbon in her hand into a beautiful bow.
"Momo, this handbag can be tied like this? It looks so nice." Zeng Fang exclaimed in amazement.
Yun Mo put the garnet earrings into a pink paper bag tied with a bow ribbon and asked everyone, "How about this? Will you buy it?"
Zeng Fang nodded immediately, "I will!"
Zeng Xiuyuan said: "I will probably buy it too. Although the earrings are of average quality, they look higher quality and presentable after being packaged like this."
Yun Mo looked at Ling Chuan, "What about you? Will you buy it?"
Ling Chuan nodded.
"Why?"
"I'll buy anything you think is good-looking."
Yun Mo glared at him with a hot face, then turned to ask Ling Jiang.
Ling Jiang hesitated, "Sister-in-law, although it looks good, it's just like that. I always feel like I'm fooling people."
"Brother, you have to change your mindset. You are selling small jewellery, not grain or vegetables. It is not a fixed price of kilograms or pounds.
When women buy jewelry, they just want to like it and feel happy. In fact, after buying this pair of earrings, they may not like it or want to wear them after wearing them for a few times, or they may simply lose sight of them.
Moreover, when it comes to women's clothes, shoes, and jewelry, one or two pieces are not enough. The more the better.
They buy this month, and they will buy again next month, year after year, month after month. You have to find out their preferences and keep them at your stall. When they want to buy jewelry, the first thing they think of is to come to you. "
Ling Jiang touched his head embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, to be honest, I don't really understand these, but I will listen to you. If you say this is good, then buy it. You have read more books than us, and you understand more than me. It's right to listen to you."
Yun Mo laughed, "Brother, don't worry, as long as you do as I say, it will be hard for you not to make money."
"OK!"
After buying the paper bags, Yunmo went to buy two strings of battery-powered star lights.
"Brother, when night comes, you install batteries in these two strings of star lights and put them on your stall. Then your stall will be the brightest in the entire night market. Even people who don't buy your stuff will take a look at it when they pass by."
Ling Jiang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. "Hey, sister-in-law, you are the one with the most ideas. I can't think of these."
It was not until the sun was about to set that the few people returned to the hotel to rest with a full load.
In order to save money, the five people booked two rooms. Yun Mo and Zeng Fang stayed in a double room, while Ling Chuan, Ling Jiang and Zeng Xiuyuan stayed in a triple room.
After taking an overnight train and strolling for a day, even the three grown men felt a little overwhelmed, let alone the two weak women, Yun Mo and Zeng Fang.
Zeng Fang was fine, she just had a few blisters on the soles of her feet. Yun Mo not only had blisters all over her feet, but her calves were also swollen. She lay on the bed motionless, groaning.
"Fang Fang, can you do me a favor? I will remember your kindness forever and repay you in my next life."
Zeng Fang was amused and laughed out loud, "Hey, come on, why should we be so polite to each other?"
Yun Mo turned her head and blinked pitifully at the other person with her big almond-shaped eyes, "Can you help me pour a basin of water to wash my feet? I don't want to move."
Zeng Fang was silent for two seconds, then sat up from the bed with difficulty, "Then I'll go find a footbath first."
"Fangfang, you are so nice."
"You just realized how good I am?"
"I've known it for a long time. Fangfang is the best girl in the world, no doubt about it."
"Okay, stop flattering me and wait."
"Uh-huh!"
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Yun Mo closed her eyes comfortably.
