Chapter 725 Young General vs. Rich Lady 28
There are several samples hanging in the store, in white, black, navy blue, burgundy, goose yellow, light green, pink and purple... like a messy rainbow.
The white front has bamboo leaf patterns, the black one is embroidered with a golden dragon, the navy blue one is embroidered with a large Chinese character for "Fu", the wine red one has large peony flowers, and the light yellow one has peach blossoms...
It's really eye-catching!
The corner of Ji Yunhuan's mouth twitched, "It's better not to."
The boss was unwilling to give up such a big customer, and introduced eagerly: "They are all good materials, pure cotton! Look at the dark pattern on it, it looks very high-end! The embroidery is also very delicate, and the thread will never break. It will not break even if you wear it for several years."
"How about fifty-one sets? The factory price is not that cheap. You can choose any color. If you buy ten thousand sets, I will give you a 20% discount!"
Ji Yunhuan suddenly felt that these clothes were not so ugly. She was very picky about the style when buying clothes, but people in Pingyang City were not picky. They just wanted something comfortable and convenient.
During the Six Kingdoms period, the dragon was not regarded as a symbol of the emperor. Dragon totems could be found in many places, and dragons also had many different forms. The earliest dragons were more like lizards with rough shapes. Later, they slowly evolved into the dragons commonly seen in modern times.
During the Six Kingdoms period, black was the respected color. Due to the underdeveloped weaving and dyeing technology, most civilians wore linen or white cotton, and only the nobles could afford colored fabrics.
Ji Yunhuan touched the fabric and thought it was good. "Five thousand sets of black and navy blue, one thousand sets of white, red, yellow, green, and purple."
Different colors can also distinguish different types of soldiers. Let’s send a batch over first to see the effect. I hope the soldiers don’t think the clothes are too ugly.
The boss was very happy, "How straightforward! You are going to do big business. Unlike some people who come here to buy goods, they are always hesitant and picky. They are not generous at all. They will definitely not be able to do business well."
"Ten thousand pairs of shoes cost 250,000 yuan, and fifteen thousand sets of Tang suits cost 600,000 yuan. I will match all the sizes for you, a total of 850,000 yuan. Thank you for your patronage!"
The boss was writing a delivery order. A female boss with curly hair next to him pulled Ji Yunhuan's arm and whispered, "Don't be fooled by him. Those are all tail goods. They are old models from many years ago. The colors are also old-fashioned. You can't sell them in the store at all!"
"This is a proper antique shop. All the styles here are new this year. Whether it's in the physical store or online, the sales are very high. If you don't believe me, you can search online. I only have repeat customers and a very good reputation."
The boss had just finished writing the order when he saw his client being taken away by the female boss next door, so he immediately chased after her.
"Zhou Lin! You just sell the goods, why are you trying to push one over the other? The girl has already agreed to buy my clothes and shoes, what do you mean by meddling in the deal? I have already written the shipping order and will deliver the goods right away."
Zhou Lin glared and cursed, "Mr. Wang, you should be a kind person. No one wants your leftovers even if you give them away for free, and you still have the nerve to sell them for 40 yuan a set. Isn't this just cheating people?"
"I just can't stand you cheating people. If you fool customers once, they won't come back again. It will leave a bad impression on the whole street. How can our stall do business?"
"Xiao Ji, we hit it off right away. Don't buy his. Buy the ones from my sister's house. They have nice designs, are cheap, and are very good. Whether you rent or sell them, you can make a profit."
Ji Yunhuan looked around. The clothes hanging in the store were indeed very nice and suitable for traveling and taking photos. Ji Yunhuan also had several similar sets, but they were custom-made by a master craftsman. The fabrics were better and they fit better.
Although these clothes look good, they are not practical and not very convenient for fighting.
The ancient costumes that are popular today are all styles worn by wealthy families in ancient times. Ordinary people don’t have such good conditions, so Ji Yunhuan decided to buy the ugly clothes from next door.
But from what Zhou Lin said, forty-one sets was still too expensive for her, so she simply cut it in half, "Boss Zhou is right, forty yuan a set is too expensive, I'll buy it at twenty yuan a set."
Boss Wang cried, "Twenty leagues can't even cover the cost."
Zhou Lin put his hands on his hips and said, "You've already made money from this batch of goods. These leftovers have been sitting there for two or three years, so it's a waste to keep them. If someone is willing to buy them, you can be lucky. If you sell them, you'll make a profit."
Boss Wang couldn't win the argument with Zhou Lin, and was afraid that if the argument continued the customer would change his mind and not want the product anymore, so he had to sell it at a low price.
Ji Yunhuan spent 300,000 to buy 15,000 sets of clothes. She was in a very good mood. Others were worried that they would not be able to sell them after purchasing them, but she did not have this concern. She felt that she had picked up a great bargain.
She paid the money on the spot and asked Boss Wang to deliver the goods to the warehouse.
"If they look good on you, I'll buy from you next time. When they're delivered, they'll be checked. The clothes have to be clean and solid. If they're damaged, I won't accept them."
Boss Wang went to the warehouse to transfer goods, and Ji Yunhuan walked around Zhou Lin's shop.
She was still very grateful to Zhou Lin for helping her save 300,000 yuan, so she decided to buy some from Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin mostly sells women's clothing. According to the population statistics of Huo Xiao, there are many women in Pingyang City. Ji Yunhuan chose a cross-collared top with a horse-faced skirt. The style is simple, but very beautiful.
"Let's start with 10,000 sets of this. Are they in stock? I want them today."
Zhou Lin quickly took off the clothes and tried them on Ji Yunhuan. She had given her a set of clothes at the beginning.
"Yes, yes, yes, you have a good eye. This is a hot-selling model this year. It will definitely sell well."
"This kind of clothes can be worn by people of all shapes and sizes. If it's too long, you can just shorten it. It's very convenient."
These words really touched Ji Yun's heart. With a population of 100,000 in Pingyang City, the size issue was really a headache.
Ji Yunhuan discovered that there were also fabrics in the store, with a wide variety of patterns. "You also sell fabrics here? They feel quite comfortable to the touch."
Zhou Lin explained: "Some Hanfu merchants do custom-made clothes. Customers first take pictures of the fabrics, choose the matching, and then customize the clothes for the customers. Although this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, it is more profitable. You can make money from the fabrics and the labor costs."
"My cloth is two meters wide and made of various materials. These are pure cotton, which is more comfortable and durable. These are silk, which is more delicate and suitable for inner wear."
"Pure cotton is 30 yuan per meter. If you buy more than 1,000 meters, I'll give you 25 yuan per meter. If you buy more than 10,000 meters, I'll give you 20 yuan per meter. I'll also give you cotton thread of the same color. About two to three meters can make a set of clothes. Anyway, it's definitely cheaper than buying clothes directly."
Ji Yunhuan was tempted. "Then I want 30,000 meters, all these colors. You can send them to my warehouse after you have matched them. I want them delivered today."
Ji Yunhuan thought that sewing by hand was quite slow, so he asked, "Is there a machine for making clothes? It would be best if it's ready-made."
Zhou Lin smiled and said, "You are talking about sewing machines, right? I can help you contact the manufacturer and guarantee to give you the lowest price."
