He Wenhua understood what He Wenlin meant.
He Wenhua said, "This house is definitely mine. I will earn the money to build and renovate it myself."
"That's fine, I'll have my dad drive over now."
In the evening, He's father drove He Wenlin and He Wenjun there.
Now that the College of Arts and Sciences and Hongrui College are on holiday, He Wenjun has some free time, which is why he can keep up with the schedule.
When they arrived at He Wenhua's rented house, He Wenhua, He Dashun, and Tang Ping went to take a look.
The house is a bit far from the road, but not far from the factory. Shaoxing has a long history of textile industry development, and there will be many garment factories in the future. Where there are factories, there will be workers, and where there are workers, there will be demand.
I'll definitely not lose money if I buy it, it just won't be as profitable as other good places.
“I think it’s a good time to buy. You’re guaranteed to make a profit no matter where you buy now. How much money do you have?” He Wenlin asked.
He Wenhua said embarrassedly, "I can only come up with 13,000 yuan right now."
He Dashun said, "I can give you a maximum of five thousand."
Although He Dashun would prefer to go back and build a house, as a father, he would definitely support his son in buying a house here.
“I’ll lend you the rest,” He Wenlin said. “Let’s arrange a meeting with the landlord and negotiate the price down to 16,000.”
He Wenhua immediately found the seller.
But upon hearing the price of 16,000, the other party immediately kicked them out.
“The house I bought in Caijiang Village is bigger than yours, and it’s right by the roadside. It only cost 20,000 yuan, 16,000 yuan is already quite a lot,” said Mr. He. “50,000 yuan is enough to buy an apartment.”
"See that house over there? It's about the same size as mine. Go ask around and find out the selling price. Sixteen thousand! Pshaw!" The seller sneered. "Buying my house would be about the same size as buying a toilet and bathroom. If you buy this house, you can start collecting rent right away. It's better than putting your money in the bank, right?"
He Dashun: "Then why are you still selling?"
Seller: "I bought an apartment with an elevator and am preparing to renovate it."
...
Because he was about to go home for the Chinese New Year, He Wenhua wanted to finalize the order as soon as possible. The seller disagreed with the price, so he raised it to 18,000 yuan, and then to 23,000 yuan, but the seller insisted on selling it for 46,000 yuan.
"Then let's forget about it," He Wenlin said. "Brother, let's look at other places. If it's on the roadside, 46,000 is about right."
In the end, I didn't manage to buy it here.
The group returned to He Wenhua's rented house.
"If we can't buy it, we can't buy it. It would be better to go back and build a house." He Dashun has old-fashioned ideas and believes in returning to one's roots.
He Wenlin said, "Uncle, we need to build a house in our hometown, but we'll be living outside for a longer period of time. Buying a house here is both an investment and a place for us to live. Brother, don't be discouraged. I'll ask Zheng Juan to keep an eye out for suitable properties. When a suitable one comes along, you can buy it. Don't waste your money."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
...
The following afternoon, we had dinner.
He Wenjun and his family of four, along with Lin Fei, He Na, and others, went back to their hometown in the truck.
The factories are all closed for the holidays, and the Caijiangcun fast food restaurant has also shut down.
He Wenlin's food factory hasn't closed for the holidays yet; they're working until the 28th.
The cake factory and cake shop operate year-round and require staff to be on duty. Fortunately, most of the employees in the factory and shop are locals, so as long as they are paid overtime and given a rotating shift schedule, they are willing to work.
He Shan and He Ling will not be going home this year. He Shan has to work shifts, and He Ling has to run her business.
After He Wenlin finished handing over the work to the two store managers and the cake factory workers, she set off for her hometown at 10 p.m. on the 28th.
It took away more than 6,000 yuan of the two stores' daily revenue.
We arrived in our hometown county town around 2 p.m. the next day.
He Wenlin told her father and the others to go back first. He Wenlin went to the usual spot and checked on her second brother and Lin Fei's stall.
Just like last year, they're holding a buy-one-get-one-free promotion at the same location this year.
When He Wenlin arrived, wow, there was a huge crowd.
Only Luo Yumei's voice could be heard, but she could not be seen because she was surrounded inside.
"Linlin's back!" He Ni, who was at a nearby stall, saw He Wenlin and greeted her excitedly.
"Linlin, what are you from?" He Na, who had been glancing at Lin Fei and his group's stall, turned around when she heard the name "Linlin".
He Wenlin smiled and said, "I just got back and heard you had a stall here, so I came to check it out. How's business?"
He Na's expression turned sour when this was mentioned.
Her sister, He Ni, was much more optimistic. She smiled and shook her head, saying, "Business isn't very good. We're offering a buy-one-get-one-free deal on socks, just like you, but other items aren't selling well."
He Na asked with a distressed expression, "Linlin, what should I do? All the things I bought are quite nice, so why aren't they buying them?"
He Ni also said, "Linlin, big boss, can you give me some pointers?"
“Look around, what kind of people are buying things here?” He Wenlin asked them to observe.
They looked around, and He Na said, "There are men, women, young and old all here."
"But who is the target consumer group?" He Wenlin said, "Nana's aesthetic sense and taste are perfectly fine; the scarves, hats, and gloves she buys are all very beautiful."
He Na couldn't stop smiling when He Wenlin praised her.
He Ni frowned and asked, "The items are indeed beautiful, and you think they're beautiful too, so why aren't they selling?"
"The items look nice and are of good quality, but they cost over ten yuan, almost twenty yuan each. They're not cheap, so only young, fashion-conscious girls like them. But look around, are there many young girls here?"
Gloves, hats, scarves—the ones He Na brought in were all beautiful and of good quality, so of course the purchase price was high, and the selling price was not low either.
When they were in Shaoxing, He Wenlin had asked her about the selling price.
He Wenlin continued, "And pants too. I told Nana that we should buy one-size-fits-all products. She thought the jeans looked nice, so we bought them. They do look nice, but you can't try them on when you're setting up a stall, and with so many sizes, you're bound to have unsold stock."
"Linlin, you're so smart!" He Ni exclaimed. "It's really true. Several customers said they couldn't try it and didn't want it."
He Wenlin: "There's a lot to learn about any business, and I'm not a professional in it either."
He Na was surprised that He Wenlin was so accurate. She said, "Linlin, did you know from the beginning that my products wouldn't sell well? Why didn't you tell me so clearly before?"
