Chapter 258 Black Heart
Ye Qian didn't go to purchase goods in the morning, so Wang Qiong and Fu Shan did it for her. After all, they couldn't rely on her for everything, and she was very tired. Ye Qian had taught them everything she should have taught them during this period. As long as they put in some effort, purchasing goods would be a piece of cake.
When it comes to style, Ye Qian is more concerned about quality. After all, she wants to do long-term business. If she only cares about the appearance without paying attention to the quality and the pilling occurs after wearing two pieces of clothing, her future business will be difficult. There are many residents in their area now, so it is also good to have regular customers.
After lunch, there was still a long time before the afternoon classes started, so everyone gathered on the lawn next to the school and sat together to chat. Ye Qian also further explained her plan, "It's actually quite hard for us to set up a stall every day. Why don't we open a store in front of the school while we can still make money?"
According to later memories, the street opposite the school happened to be a commercial street, with all kinds of snacks, milk tea, and clothing. It's just that it hasn't yet formed a large scale. There are only a few shops selling some food. When Ye Qian passed by before, she happened to see that there were two storefronts for transfer. She thought it would be better to take them over and make one a clothing store and the other a food store or something else.
Then he told everyone his idea. Everyone hesitated for a while. Although they didn't object, they didn't agree either. Chen Yuan said hesitantly: "Buying a shop is very expensive."
"Of course it's expensive. Of course I won't let you buy it. I'll buy the shop myself and then charge you rent. Are you willing to do it?" Everyone nodded happily. Zhang Yunyun asked, "Do you want both shops? It will cost a lot of money to buy them all at once."
Ye Qian nodded: "It's okay, it's just enough."
Fu Shan stood up excitedly and said, "Sister Qian, how about you and I each have a room? We happen to be next to each other, so of course you can take care of everything."
Ye Qian smiled and said, "Do you have money?"
"I don't have it, but my brother does." Fu Shan answered as a matter of course.
"Don't spend all the money your brother has saved for marrying a wife. He is already too old to get married, and if you spend his money it will be even harder for him to get married. Isn't that a waste of money?" Ye Qian teased.
"It's okay, he has money."
Fu Shan didn't wait for Ye Qian's consent before making the decision. She had no choice but to work with Ye Qian, even if it wasn't a clothing store, she could open something else. Anyway, she had never suffered any loss following Ye Qian, so she was not stupid.
Liu Yubing asked: "If we open a shop, will we still set up a stall? We won't have time to look after the shop during the day."
"I've already thought about this. The two aunties we found this time, Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhang, are both pretty good. Each of them will be in charge of a store. We'll naturally set up our stall as well, but more importantly, we need to promote our store because more and more stalls are being set up. Isn't there a clothes shop opening across the street from us recently?"
At this point, Chen Yuan couldn't help but complain: "Yes, that store sells clothes very cheaply. Although my business is not much worse, many people still say that my clothes are expensive and that we are a rip-off."
"It's not that we didn't see those clothes when we went to purchase the goods. We didn't buy them because of their poor quality. Just wait and see, in a few days, this business will be bad. Those clothes will not only fade but also pill. They can't be worn after being worn twice. Then everyone will know that you get what you pay for." Ye Qian felt that she was right to insist on quality.
Ye Qian didn't just hear it from hearsay. Everyone lived in the dormitory and had a shared washroom. It's not like she didn't see or hear it when everyone was washing clothes. Moreover, the man who set up the stall opposite was also an alumnus of the school. He glared at this side several times when he saw that the business was good. When he sold a few more pieces of clothing, he smiled smugly and contemptuously at this side. It was not only Ye Qian who had such low quality, but everyone else's.
Chen Yuan couldn't stand it several times and almost went over to beat her up. Naturally, everyone tried to stop them. After all, there was no rule that only their family could set up a stall and it was normal to have competition if others were not allowed to. However, Ye Qian's business was not greatly affected.
A few days later, there was a commotion over there. There was a stall across the street. An aunt who looked not so good looked at them with clothes in her hand and threw them directly at the girl in the chest.
The girl cried out in pain, "Ouch!" and asked, "What are you doing?"
The auntie pushed the shelf in front of her and said angrily, "What kind of stall are you setting up? Look at the clothes you are selling. I just wore one piece and it's faded and pilled all over. I spent money on it, and you only give me this one piece of clothing. Give me a refund."
When the girl heard about the refund, she thought it was impossible. If one person got a refund, everyone else would come and ask for a refund. How could she afford it? All the money was used to buy goods. "These are all stalls. No refunds or exchanges. They made it very clear when we left."
"I didn't know your quality was so bad. I bought something from across the street that wasn't as good as yours. You're just making money on the sly. It's not easy for anyone to make money. It's frustrating to spend so much money on clothes you can't wear." The aunt asked the people around her to comment. "Don't you agree? It's not easy to make money these days."
Some of the people around were roommates and had heard about it. Someone said, "Yes, the clothes in my room were bought from her store, but they couldn't be worn after just two wears."
Someone spoke up, and the discussion gradually grew louder. The girl protested, "Why are you so sure it's mine? How can it not be across the street? There are two clothing stores here."
Chen Yuan, who was originally watching the show, immediately got angry and ran over to discuss it. No one could stop him. "We've been setting up the store for a month, and nothing like this has ever happened. My clothes are a bit expensive, but the quality is top-notch. Ask everyone, my clothes have been worn for so long, are there any problems? What kind of goods did you import? You want to drag us into this? Don't you think about it? We are all neighbors, and there are so many classmates. Will you feel guilty when you cheat them?"
After saying that, she changed her mind and said, "My prices are a little higher than theirs, but you can rest assured about the quality. No one who has worn my clothes has ever said anything bad about them. Otherwise, how could we have been running this business for so long? Moreover, several of our stall owners are majoring in fashion design. We sell designer clothes every Friday. They are absolutely high-quality and affordable, and we don't cheat anyone. Everyone should remember to compare more when buying clothes."
Chen Yuan had been promoting his clothes at someone else's stall for a long time. The girl couldn't help herself and pointed at Chen Yuan and said, "You, you, who are you saying the quality is bad?"
"It's yours, otherwise why would someone come to return the goods?"
Everyone looked at the girl. Yes, the aunt also came to her senses. She had bought clothes from the opposite store before. The quality was amazing. She had complained about being ripped off before. It seems that it was not the opposite store that was ripped off, but this store.
