Chapter 122
Upon hearing Ji Wanmei's words, customers flocked into the store.
A middle-aged woman said, "I want a pair of those thongs she's wearing!"
The female customer pointed at Ji Wanmei and then turned back to ask Ji Wanmei, "Do your pants come in different sizes? I have a bigger frame and a thicker waist than you, can they fit my body type?"
Luo Chunyan, who was inside, quickly came out and said, "Sister, look, I'm wearing it too!"
"I also have a wide hip and a big bottom, but when I put on these stretchy pants from our brand, my waist looked noticeably slimmer, and my legs didn't look thick at all. Let me tell you, these are stretchy, one size fits all, so even if you weigh 200 pounds, let alone someone who weighs around 100 pounds, you can still fit into them. And they're suitable for all heights."
“I also kept one for my second younger sister. She’s only fifteen years old, about 1.5 meters tall. I thought she was still growing and that she could wear these pants until she came of age. They’re very durable.”
The guests turned to look at Luo Chunyan.
Although Luo Chunyan's figure was not as slender and standard as Ji Wanmei's, it was the average figure that most women had.
The effect of wearing it is quite good.
The young woman originally only wanted one, but after hearing Luo Chunyan's words, she thought for a moment and asked, "Do you give a 30% discount if I buy two today?"
Ji Wanmei smiled and said, "That's right, sister. Today is our grand opening, and everything is 30% off."
"Okay, pack me two. How much?" the woman quickly asked.
"These thongs sell for five yuan a pair in the city, but we only sell them for three yuan a pair in our store. Today we're having a 30% discount for our grand opening. The original price for two pairs is six yuan, but we're offering them for four yuan and two jiao. That's even cheaper than buying one pair in the city."
Ji Wanmei didn't need to use an abacus; she simply quoted the price.
Luo Chunyan seized the opportunity to say, "If you want to buy, hurry up and do it today! Tomorrow we'll go back to the original price of three yuan a piece."
Upon hearing this, the customers who were watching outside the store exclaimed, "Hey girl, hurry up and get one for me too!"
"I want two! I want two!"
In no time, the area in front of the Pearl of the Orient store was packed with people.
Luo Chunyan was in charge of collecting money and loading goods, while Ji Wanmei was in charge of receiving guests. The two of them were almost too busy to handle everything.
Ji Xingguo and the others, seeing that there were many people in the shop, including some women, did not feel comfortable coming in.
Ji Wanmei took a moment to go out and said to her father, "Dad, why don't you take your relatives and friends to the restaurant for a while? We'll come over with Chunyan when the lunch starts."
Today is the opening of the new store, and Ji Xingguo has invited many friends to come and support us. We will definitely book a restaurant for lunch to treat everyone.
Seeing that his daughter was too busy, Ji Xingguo said to his friends with a smile, "Come on, everyone, come with me to the restaurant and take a seat. I've prepared a few tables of light wine to entertain you all."
Those friends were very polite. Although they might not need many of the items in Ji Xingguo's daughter's shop, they still bought one or two things to show their support.
Ji Wanmei smiled and personally greeted each of her father's friends who came to support her, handing them the packaged items with both hands.
After seeing off the friends her father had invited, Ji Wanmei returned to the shop and busied herself with Luo Chunyan.
At that time, Ji Wanmei imported two hundred pairs of trousers from Zhejiang, and Luo Chunyan was worried that they wouldn't be able to sell them all.
But lately, she's been making so much money that her hands are sore from holding it all, and she even regrets not having the foresight of Ji Wanmei back then. If only she had known, she would have ordered more!
In the blink of an eye, a pack of fifty was sold out as soon as it was opened.
Many women came in, and they all took two bags at a time.
At first, Luo Chunyan was worried that people in her small county town wouldn't understand fashion and wouldn't be able to accept the price.
But Ji Wanmei was too clever for her own good. On the opening day, she offered a 30% discount, which was essentially a buy-one-get-one-free promotion. This immediately boosted the sales and reputation of the "Cai Cai Ku" brand.
You can buy two pairs of pants for four yuan and two mao, while they cost five yuan a pair in the city, and you might not even be able to buy them there!
Add in the round-trip transportation costs, food expenses, and other expenses, and it's really not as cost-effective to go to the city just to buy a pair of pants as to buy them directly from Ji Wanmei's store!
Some of the younger women who were better off financially saw the hair tie on Ji Wanmei's forehead and asked how much it cost.
I asked and found out they were 60 cents each, and with a 30% discount, they were only 42 cents each, which was really good value for money.
Many people are willing to buy a hair tie to wear with their thongs.
The two items together cost less than five yuan.
It's genuinely affordable.
When you take it back, wear it like Ji Wanmei did today; it looks fashionable and stylish.
Some observant people, who have a certain taste in clothing and appearance, noticed Ji Wanmei's stylish curly hairstyle and surrounded her, asking, "Miss Ji, your hairstyle is really beautiful. Where did you get it done?"
Ji Wanmei had guessed that since she had been walking around with this look for half a day, someone would definitely ask her about it.
And here they are.
Ji Wanmei immediately picked up the plastic curling iron and introduced it to everyone: "I did my own hairstyle at home last night. I didn't waste money at the hair salon. All I had to do was use this curling iron with a rubber band to set it before going to bed, and when I woke up the next morning, my hairstyle was done. Just like this."
"Really? Is it that amazing?" Everyone was a little incredulous.
