Gaodi Street, Thirteen Hongs.
On the next day, Qiao Zhiru led everyone to this clothing wholesale market which would become particularly famous in the future.
When they arrived at Thirteen Hongs, the place was already bustling with people coming and going.
There are all kinds of clothing stalls on both sides of the street, which is dazzling.
"There are so many clothes here."
“We haven’t seen many of the clothes before.”
"Didn't you see the pants that guy was wearing just now? They were too tight, weren't they?!"
"Not only are they tight, but the trouser legs are dragging on the ground."
"Look, what is that person wearing?! Why is it so weird?!"
"It looks like glasses, but not quite. The glasses are white, and this is black, and it looks weird."
"I don't think I need glasses either. How can I wear them without them?! How can I see the road in this dark?!"
"This man's shirt is too tight. The buttons are not even buttoned, exposing his chest. This, this..."
…
Bai Jianmin and the others followed closely behind Qiao Jiru and Su Huaiyuan, looking around curiously all the way. When they saw what the young men passing by were wearing, they almost dropped their jaws in shock.
They couldn't help but whisper to each other, which showed how great the shock was.
Qiao Yuru had noticed how people dressed when they entered the Thirteenth Line. Her eyes sparkled, but her heart was filled with excitement.
Frog-shaped sunglasses, bell-bottom pants, and bat-wing shirts were the most popular and trendy three-piece suits of the 1980s.
Su Huaiyuan was also curious about the young man walking past him in strange clothes, but he had long known from his wife that such clothes came from Hong Kong and would become very popular in China.
He couldn't see what was so good about it, but he felt that it represented a kind of boldness, a kind of alternative, a style that was completely different from their generation.
The new trend has both good and bad sides.
No matter what everyone thought, Qiao Ru couldn't wait to find out the price of the clothes she liked.
"Hello, how much can I get for wholesale this bat shirt?!"
She carefully observed the whole journey before heading towards the clothing store she liked. She touched the samples hanging on the wall while asking the female shopkeeper nearby for the price.
The female shopkeeper looked up and down at Qiao Jiru and the group of people behind her. She felt that she didn't seem like someone who would do this, but if someone was interested, she would not refuse to do it.
"Batman shirt wholesale for ¥10."
It's not expensive, but not cheap either.
"Can you please make it a little less? It's already August, and the weather in the north is about to get colder, and autumn and winter clothes will be arriving soon. Boss, if you can make it a little less, I'll place my order with you."
Qiao Ru felt the texture of the clothes in her hand and thought they were pretty good, so she decided to bargain with the boss.
Seeing that Qiao Zhiru seemed to have a deep understanding of the clothing industry and pointed out the disadvantages of the dry season change, the female boss decided to give more discounts.
"How about this, I can give you one dollar less. This is the lowest price I can offer. This is our first time dealing with each other. Let's see if we can reach an agreement later."
"Boss, my last name is Qiao, and I'm from Beijing. As long as your goods are good and the price is fair, I will continue to buy from you in the future."
The female boss agreed to reduce the price by one dollar, and Qiao Zhiru thought that she could get the bat shirt for eight dollars. After returning home, she sold it for eleven dollars, and Bai Jianmin and his friends sold it for thirteen to ten dollars, so everyone could make money.
"Boss Qiao, my last name is Chen, and I'm Chen Meili. Don't worry, I have good clothes here, and the prices are very fair."
Qiao Zhiru was so straightforward and frank that Boss Chen immediately took a liking to this female boss who looked more like a teacher than a scholar, and he also revealed his name.
"Boss Chen, I want two thousand of these batwing shirts. What's the price for these bell-bottom pants?!"
Two thousand pieces?!
She is so good.
Chen Meili originally thought that the other party would only want a few hundred pieces at most, but she didn't expect it to be not just a few hundred, but two thousand, which scared her to death.
"Yes, yes, how could we not have bell-bottom pants?! They came from Hong Kong. They're so fashionable and trendy. They're the best-selling item here."
Chen Meili was even more enthusiastic and attentive than before. She personally showed Qiao Zhiru the bell-bottom pants in her store and asked her to try them out.
“How do you sell it?!”
Qiao Ru looked at it for a while before asking the price.
"Sister Qiao, if you want more, let's be friends and I'll give you the actual price. Ten dollars a piece. I absolutely won't charge you more."
Ten and one.
The total cost for her was more than ten yuan, which was half a month's salary for a temporary worker.
"Boss Chen, those bell-bottom pants are two thousand. Can you get that batwing shirt for a little less?! I'm also planning on getting some toad-shaped sunglasses. Do you have any?"
Qiao Zhiru knew that the price of the pants was about the same, but the bat shirt might be able to be reduced a little more. After all, a little less was better.
"Sister Qiao, let's put it this way. Since you're so generous, I won't say much. I'll give you a discount on the bat shirt. I really can't give you any less. I have to make money."
"As for the frog-eye glasses, I don't have them here, but my cousin has them, and he deals in them. I'll bring him over and ask him to give you the lowest price."
Thousands of pieces were sold at once, how could Chen Meili not be tempted? She also wanted to make this deal very much. Moreover, if she had one, there would definitely be more. This could be her future big client.
Moreover, this client was straightforward and straightforward, so of course she had to hold on to him tightly.
"Okay, go get him, we'll wait here."
Chen Meili quickly went into a stall not far away. After a while, a young man came up with a dozen toad mirrors in his hands.
"Sister Qiao, this is my cousin Lin Guoming. He wholesales toad mirrors."
Chen Meili enthusiastically introduced her cousin to Qiao Zhiru, and she was eager to make this deal for her cousin.
"Sister Qiao, these are the frog-eye glasses I sell wholesale in my shop. Would you like to take a look?!"
When his cousin came to see him, Lin Guoming heard that the elegant woman in front of him was a big client. He immediately put away his usual contemptuous expression and politely handed the toad mirror in his hand to Qiao Zhiru.
Qiao Zhiru took it and looked at a few frog-eye mirrors. In fact, she knew about this thing, but in her previous life, she, an old lady, would not buy this thing. Now she could only look at the appearance and quality.
"Boss Lin, what do you think of this toad-shaped mirror?!"
"Sister Qiao, two hundred dongs are three yuan each. One hundred dongs are two yuan and eighty yuan each. One thousand dongs are two yuan and sixty yuan each."
"I want two thousand. How much cheaper can you get, Boss Lin?!"
"Uh, that's so much. Well, that's not much cheaper. I'll give you two dollars each."
