"Sister-in-law, is it so expensive?" After all, the skirt only cost one dollar, and the shirt was three dollars cheaper.
Xiao Jiang also felt that the price was more than doubled and it was too expensive. He thought it would be good enough if he could increase the price by two or three yuan.
Linglong smiled and asked back, "Do you think our clothes are of poor quality?"
They both shook their heads.
"That day, Xin, I asked you, what do you think of our skirts and shirts compared to those sold in the mall now?"
Zheng Tianxin often went shopping and was quite familiar with these things. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I can't say it's unique, but it's still one of the most fashionable ones."
"That's fine, then. From what I've seen, skirts of inferior quality and style to ours are usually priced at over twenty bucks. And blouses, too, are rare these days, and the only decent ones are around ten bucks."
After hearing what Linglong said, Zheng Tianxin and Xiao Jiang both felt that their things were not expensive after all.
"Besides, our prices aren't fixed. If you buy a lot, we can offer a discount. For example, a skirt is 18 yuan, buy two for 30 yuan, which is a dollar off. A shirt is 10 yuan, buy three and get 10% off, buy one and get 20% off."
"Sister-in-law, you think so quickly." Zheng Tianxin felt like she had opened the door to a new world. It turned out that selling things could be done this way.
Xiao Jiang was also shocked.
It’s no wonder they don’t understand these things.
Since then, all kinds of materials have been supplied with coupons and have always been in short supply.
Even if you have money and tickets, you may not be able to buy it at the original price, so how can there be any discount or promotion?
Even though it's just a penny cheaper, it's still a rare thing for ordinary people.
Who wouldn't be happy to spend less money?
But Linglong has no plans to set up a stall today.
She took Zheng Tianxin to scout out several state-owned factories with many female workers.
Because the attitude of Xi'an's superiors was ambiguous, they didn't say it was not allowed, but they didn't definitely say it was allowed either. In the early days, there were not many small vendors selling things, and they were all very cautious and sneaky.
Later I found that no one seemed to care much about it, and more and more people started small businesses.
When Linglong and her friends were investigating, they found that there were many residents near the gate of the state-owned factory, and they were all running small businesses.
They are all our own houses and we don’t have to pay rent, so any money we earn is motivation.
"Sister-in-law, where are we going to sell it then?" Zheng Tianxin asked.
They don't have houses in front of these state-owned factories.
"Let's just sell it on the go and start."
The next day, at the Second Cotton Mill in Beijing, Linglong and the others, after changing their clothes, stood at the factory gate.
Linglong was wearing the women's shirt they brought in, paired with her own pair of trousers, and Zheng Tianxin was wearing the skirt they brought in.
Hearing the sound of the workers leaving and seeing them starting to leave, Linglong gave Xiaojiang a look, and Xiaojiang unfolded the rolled paper in his hand.
It said, "Long skirts are 18 yuan each, shirts are 10 yuan each, buy more and get a discount. If you buy one, you will be the most fashionable girl in the crowd."
Linglong spread out the bed sheet in front of her, on which were placed dozens of clothes they had brought.
With this conspicuous publicity, and her and Zheng Tianxin serving as display models, the female workers who had just left the factory all looked over, and even the male workers looked in curiously.
Several female workers came over together.
"Are you selling what you wear?"
"That's right, the dress is 18, the shirt is 10, and there's a discount if you buy more."
The female workers glanced at each other, and one continued to ask, "What's the discount?"
"Long skirts are 30 yuan for two, 10 yuan for three, and 90 yuan for two shirts, 10 yuan for three, and 80 yuan for one shirt."
The eyes of several female workers brightened up.
Just as Linglong thought, all kinds of supplies have always been in short supply, so everyone was surprised to hear even if it was just a small discount.
"How's the quality of this dress? Do you want a ticket?"
"You can feel the quality, but we don't want a ticket."
When they said they didn't need tickets, the eyes of several female workers lit up even brighter.
Hurry up and feel the quality of the long skirt and shirt.
They all work in cotton mills and know a lot about fabrics.
As soon as they got started, they nodded to each other.
Linglong and Zheng Tianxin are both good-looking, and they served as models and also added padded clothes.
"I want it."
"I want to, too."
"Then let's pick them all out. There's a discount if we buy them together."
How many girls don’t love beauty?
The clothes Linglong brought back included shirts of a single color and skirts in three colors, but all were one size fits all.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
Among those who know how to sew, there are few who don’t know how to do needlework. If the size of clothes is not suitable, many people will alter them themselves.
Several female workers gathered together to discuss something, and soon more workers came to watch and ask questions.
"If you like them, buy them as soon as possible. We have a limited number of clothes. They were all brought to us by our relatives who own a clothing factory in Gangcheng. Once they are sold, they are gone."
Having relatives in Hong Kong and even overseas is no longer a sensitive issue. The wind direction is changing, and everyone has begun to secretly envy those who have overseas relatives.
Zheng Tianxin and Xiao Jiang were stunned when they knew Linglong was lying. However, they were not stupid. They knew that Linglong was lying to make their clothes sell more smoothly, so they would not expose it.
Linglong's words further stimulated the female workers who were already eager to make a move.
Someone took action soon.
"Give me one."
"We want two. Is there a discount?"
"I want three."
Knowing that there are discounts for buying more, many people buy in groups.
For a while, their stall was crowded with people collecting money, giving change, settling accounts and taking out clothes.
Many female workers joined the group impulsively because there were so many people here and the clothes were in high demand.
In everyone's perception, things that can be stolen must be good things.
Originally, Zheng Tianxin and Xiao Jiang were worried that the clothes would be a waste of money and they would not be able to sell them.
As a result, in less than half an hour, the dozens of clothes they brought were sold out, and some female workers felt regretful because they didn't buy anything.
As soon as the goods were sold out, Linglong quickly took Zheng Tianxin and Xiao Jiang away.
Although she was not told not to sell, she was still afraid of attracting attention if they sold so much at once. She decided to withdraw as soon as she got the money.
Not only that, the three of them were disguised to a certain extent just now, and people who were not very familiar with them would not be able to recognize them if they stood in front of them.
This is also the exquisite meaning.
They received a lot of money in small amounts, and they didn't have time to count it. In the end, they just wrapped it all in the bed sheet and carried it back.
On the way to the destination, Linglong was very cautious and repeatedly confirmed with Xiaojiang that no one was following them.
Waiting to go to the rented house.
After closing the doors, they unfolded the sheets and began to count the results of the day.
