Once they had discussed it, He Na contacted He Wenlin and asked if she could go shopping with He Wenlin.
He Wenlin said, "It's no problem for me to come with you to purchase goods, but I need to make it clear first that I will decide what goods we purchase."
"Let's discuss it together."
“No, only one person can make the decision,” He Wenlin said. “If you can’t accept it, then call Shanshan, Lin Fei, and my second brother over to talk it over again. Business is business, and feelings are feelings.”
"Linlin, I'm one of the owners, can't I even make decisions?"
“There are so many bosses, you say one thing and she says another, what do we do? Who should we listen to?” He Wenlin said. “I don’t object to you going to buy the goods, and I can listen to you, as long as the three of them agree. Never mind, let’s talk about it when I get back.”
He Wenlin returned on the evening of the 2nd and called the three of them together: "I originally planned to go to purchase goods tomorrow, but the problem now is that Nana has to come along. She is one of the partners. If there is a disagreement about purchasing goods, whose opinion should be followed?"
"We'll do as you say!" He Shan, Lin Fei, and He Wenjun said in unison.
He Shan looked at He Na: "Nana, Linlin was the one who sourced the goods last year. She knows more than us, so we'll listen to her."
Lin Fei: "Yes, we'll listen to her."
He Wenlin said seriously, "I'm not omnipotent either. I can't succeed every time. Doing business is risky, and I can't guarantee that all the goods I bring in will be sold out."
Seeing He Na like this, He Wenlin really didn't want to get involved in this mess.
“To be honest, I’m very busy too, and I don’t want to go to get the goods. Why don’t you go by yourselves? I’ll give all three of you a day off, and you can go on your own,” He Wenlin said.
“No, sister, I trust your judgment,” He Wenjun said. “My judgment isn’t good enough. If you don’t go and source the goods, I won’t get involved.”
After a moment's thought, He Wenlin said, "How about this, I don't want your 15% profit. I'll handle the transportation for you. The four of you can choose to partner up or work independently, but you can split the transportation costs. You can source the goods yourselves, and sell whatever you want."
He Wenlin decided not to participate, to avoid doing something that would be thankless.
“Then I’ll go it alone!” He Na said first.
“Then let’s three of us go together,” He Shan said to He Wenjun and Lin Fei.
He Wenjun: "I have no objection."
Lin Fei: "I have no objection either."
He Na asked, "So how will our transportation costs be calculated?"
“I’ll calculate your cost for this trip as 1,600. Nana, if you’re going back with the goods, I’ll give you 250. Can you accept that?” He Wenlin said. “They’ll cover the rest. Your train ticket back will cost 150. After you get off the train, you’ll have to take a bus back to the county and then back to your village. The bus fare will be at least 200.”
"Okay, then it's 250."
He Wenlin said to the others, "My family of four is also going back. That's 600 for four people, 150 for Lin Fei, and the rest is 600. Consider it payment for transporting the goods."
That's equivalent to charging each person 150 yuan for transportation, and after deducting the number of people, that's considered their payment for the goods.
Of course, He Wenlin had no intention of charging Lin Fei and Da Da's family for their transportation.
Lin Fei is my employee, so I'll cover his travel expenses back; it doesn't matter.
As for her own relative, there was even less need to charge her for the ride. With her current wealth, there was no need to be so calculating with her family. Of course, in business, things do need to be clear, so not a penny less than the fare was acceptable.
“Sure, no problem.” He Shanlin, Fei He, and Wenjun all had no objections.
Everyone was happy when He Wenlin made this suggestion.
He Na asked excitedly, "When are we going to buy the goods tomorrow?"
He Wenjun looked at He Wenlin: "Little sister, I still want you to go and purchase the goods. If you don't purchase the goods, then I'm not involved."
Lin Fei also said, "Yes, we don't know how to choose. You should go. You can decide what to sell. If it doesn't sell, it's not your fault. You can just wear it yourself."
He Shan laughed and said, "Linlin, I'll listen to you. You go and buy the goods. Even if you buy some junk, I won't blame you."
Seeing how much others trusted He Wenlin, He Na suddenly felt out of place, like an outsider.
He Shan added, "If you don't go to source the goods and don't give us your opinions, I won't feel confident."
Seeing how much they trusted her, He Wenlin finally agreed.
The following evening, around 7 p.m., He Wenlin, Lin Fei, He Na, and He Wenjun took the food factory train to Sijiqing.
On the way, He Wenlin asked He Na what her intentions were regarding purchasing goods.
He Na's reply was that whatever looks good, go in.
That's too vague; it's like saying nothing at all.
"Linlin, what do you think I should join?" He Na asked her.
“I don’t think you’re going to do this long-term. You’d be better off selling items that don’t come in different sizes,” He Wenlin said.
"Then I'll stock up on some socks, scarves, gloves, and the like," He Na stated, clarifying her goal.
But when He Na arrived at Sijiqing, she was overwhelmed by the sights and wanted to go into every pretty place she saw.
In the end, she bought thirty pairs of gloves, twenty scarves, thirty hats, ten sweaters, fifty tank tops, fifty pairs of underwear, fifty pairs of jeans, and one hundred pairs of women's socks, spending a total of one thousand two hundred and twenty.
Just like last year, He Wenlin chose 500 pairs of children's socks, 2,000 pairs of adult women's socks, and 1,000 pairs of men's socks.
Two hundred pieces of each of the one-size-fits-all base layer tops, including peach collar, round neck, and turtleneck styles, with half in black and half in white.
