Yan Xiaonan thought for a moment, took the backpack and put it into her own big backpack, helped tidy up the stall, and told her father to hurry back and tell her mother and grandmother the good news.
Upon hearing his daughter mention his wife and his mother, Yan Xiaoqiang quickly put his things on his bicycle and rode home. Today's harvest was too great; before he could even react, Nan Nan and Chen'er had sold out all the goods.
My mother and wife are still waiting for my news, so I'll let them have some fun. I'll also pack up the things I'm going to sell at the stall tonight and try to sell them as soon as possible.
Ye Chen'er asked excitedly, "Nan Nan, do you think my aunt's shop sells faster or ours?"
Yan Xiaonan shook her head, deciding that the first thing she would do after going to the factory was to write a letter to Ye Huixian, to report on the situation there and the best-selling products, so that Ye Huixian would be aware of the situation.
Ye Huixian didn't have as many people around her as Yan Xiaonan, and she wouldn't set up a stall on the street. After understanding the policy, she decided to renovate the remaining shops, and set up her own stall in front of the shops that were being renovated.
Her best friend, Hong Shengnan, was originally Ye Huixian's classmate. Her family was also persecuted, and now she is all alone, raising her ten-year-old daughter. Fortunately, Hong Shengnan's personality is just like her name, she can take everything in stride.
Originally from a prominent family, he was exceptionally skilled at hiding things. Now, he slowly unearthed the hidden treasures to support himself and his daughter. However, all that remained of their once vast estate was these few items and a small Western-style house.
Hong Shengnan was, after all, a woman. When she was desperate, she turned to Ye Huixian for help. With Ye Huili's wholehearted assistance, she managed to save a small villa, but everything else was lost. Even so, Hong Shengnan was extremely grateful to Ye Huili.
Ye Huixian originally wanted to match Hong Shengnan with his elder brother, but unfortunately, his feelings were unrequited. Ye Huili didn't fancy any woman except his wife.
Hong Shengnan is broad-minded. If she doesn't like it, so be it. At least Brother Ye has saved her a place to live. She will always remember this kindness. When she heard that Ye Huixian was going to reopen the shop, she resolutely entrusted her daughter to Fu Qingping. The two bought train tickets and went to Huacheng.
"Shengnan, how much money do you have left? If you have enough, buy a few shops as soon as possible. The two of us sisters can work together to create a great new business." Ye Huixian truly hoped that her best friend could get back on her feet.
“I’ve already asked someone to look at the shop. It’s in Jing’an, right next to your old clothing shop. It’s just a bit pricey, though, at 1,500 yuan.” Sheng Nan was a little reluctant.
"Buy it, even if it costs two thousand, I'll give you the money if you don't have enough." Ye Huixian always remembered Yan Xiaonan's words; decades later, the house was incredibly expensive.
“I have the money, so I’ll go now. I can start the renovations while I’m at it. After this batch of goods is sold, we’ll go to Huacheng.” Hong Shengnan left in a hurry.
"Call my second brother and ask him to go with you to buy the house." Ye Huixian was worried that Sheng Nan, a woman, would be taken advantage of, so he pushed his second brother out.
"Hui Xian, Nan Nan wrote a letter, take a look." Fu Qingping came over.
"This little girl, she finally thought of writing a letter, how wicked!" Ye Huixian said with a laugh as he opened the letter.
I was shocked when I saw it. The goods that arrived yesterday afternoon had already sold a third of them this morning. She even said that she could probably sell some more by setting up a street stall tonight.
Business in Beijing is booming; it seems I'll have to double my order next time.
However, the little girl's last words reminded Ye Huixian: "Aunt Ye, the clothing business is just starting out, so things are more valuable because they are scarce. We need to speed things up and race against time to make a fortune."
The young girl also told herself that her cousin, Yan Ge, was also a errand boy in Huacheng. She asked if they could cooperate and have him stay in Huacheng to help with purchasing and shipping goods, so the three of them could run the business together.
Ye Huixian became more and more excited as he read on, and he thought Nan Nan's method was better. It was really dangerous for a woman to run a brothel, but it was different for a man. Moreover, this man was Yan Xiaonan's cousin. That was great! His elder brother had a discerning eye and had firmly bound this pearl to the position of the matriarch of the Ye family. It was truly a cause for celebration.
Looking at his youngest daughter, who was completely out of character, Fu Qingping couldn't help but ask, "Huixian, what's wrong?"
Ye Huixian didn't answer. He put the letter in Fu Qingping's hand and hurriedly went to organize the goods. Nan Nan had already sold so much, and he hadn't even started yet. He was wasting his time.
Following Nan Nan's standards, Ye Huixian tripled all the prices and arranged them in order before starting his business.
The effect was really good. Fu Qingping read the letter carefully before realizing that he had been pushed out. He quickly put the letter away and squeezed back in to help his daughter with the business.
Many people actually had their eyes on the clothes in front of Ye Huixian's shop, but Ye Huixian never put the prices on them. People in Shanghai are cautious and don't like to ask the prices. If the price is too high, they feel embarrassed not to buy it; if it's too low, it means the product isn't good, and there's no point in buying it.
As the prices were gradually revealed, everyone considered the options and, if the price was within their budget, they bought it. With so many people buying, those who had been waiting on the sidelines became impatient and couldn't resist rushing in to grab the deals.
Hong Shengnan never expected that in just half a day since she left, half of the goods that Huacheng brought in had already been sold. She also never expected that Ye Huixian had decided to partner with Yan Xiaonan and the others. When she heard her best friend invite her to run the business together, she was moved to tears.
Hong Shengnan was very self-aware. She heard that Yan Xiaonan was already Ye Chenming's fiancée. They were all family, and it was not appropriate for her to be caught in the middle. So she tactfully said to Ye Huixian, "Huixian, I bought a shop and renovated it. There's not much money left. So I won't be partnering with you for the time being. Why don't you buy more goods and wholesale them to me at a higher price? That way, I'll have something to do."
Ye Huixian was well aware of Hong Shengnan's awkward situation, so he went along with it. After all, there are many paths to Rome, and he knew Hong Shengnan's abilities.
That evening, Ye Huixian replied, agreeing with Yan Xiaonan's suggestion. Based on the fact that each purchase required a large sum of money, as well as working capital in between, Ye Huixian proposed that each person contribute 20,000 yuan in cash.
Yan Xiaonan was having a headache. Those scions of powerful families were asking for tens of thousands of yuan at a time, as if money were nothing to them. He immediately replied, explaining his situation in detail, and finally decided that each person would receive 10,000 yuan. Any less and they wouldn't be able to buy much stock. It would be better for them to run their own businesses.
