“Sister-in-law, we’ve come to pick up goods again.”
Lu Xier had called Qiao Jiuru on Saturday night in advance, and when she saw her the next day, she couldn't hide her beaming smile.
God knows, a week later, she sold out of the entire batch of goods, earning nearly three thousand yuan.
This immediately made Guang Sheng and his wife determined to work hard with Qiao Jiuru.
Today, besides the couple who came to pick up goods from Qiao Jiuru, Xiao Lei also came.
He sold his goods even faster than Lu Xier, since the two siblings worked together and even set up stalls separately. Basically, the two siblings changed the factory gates every day, mainly setting up stalls at ten factories in Beijing.
Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan had already prepared the goods for them and were happy that they had made money.
"Guangsheng, Xiaolei, after this batch of goods is sold out, I plan to only stock up on socks next time. I've been selling clothes all year, which is too eye-catching."
Clothing is a relatively new business these days. If you keep selling it intermittently, it will inevitably attract the attention of others, and you might even arouse jealousy.
"Socks can also make money, just less. Next year, once the policies become clearer, we won't have to worry about it anymore."
Qiao Jiuru explained to the three of them that this year's situation was just a small-scale operation, and that after next year, people returning to the city would have no work to do. Even the factories would gradually become more competitive than private factories, so the policies would become more lenient, and there was no need to worry about being taken advantage of.
Xiao Lei and Guang Sheng both understood the meaning behind her words. In particular, ever since his wife started selling clothes at a stall, Guang Sheng had been inquiring about and learning about the situation every day, and he was very convinced of Qiao Jiu Ru's plan.
“Sister-in-law is right. We’re blinded by immediate gains. We should just lie low for now and wait until things really open up before we work hard.”
He agreed with Qiao Jiuru's words, saying that even if selling socks earned a lot, a few dozen yuan a month was still good, and it was still worse than working a regular job.
Since Xiao Lei started sourcing goods from Qiao Jiuru, he's earned a lot of money he never imagined he'd make. Now that he hears the next time they'll be selling socks instead of clothes, he feels a bit disappointed, but he's the kind of person who listens to advice.
He listened to advice and was quite clever, although he had been sent to a labor camp years ago.
“Auntie, we’ll do whatever you say we’ll sell.”
Xiao Lei knew in his heart that people who wanted to make money were not only themselves, and his aunt must also want to make money. There must be a reason why she would give up making money by selling clothes.
Qiao Jiuru felt relieved when she saw that none of them had any objections.
So, Guang Sheng and his wife ordered 300 pieces of clothing, while Xiao Lei ordered 500 pieces. The main reason they ordered so many was that Qiao Jiuru's stock was almost depleted.
Afterwards, Guang Sheng and his wife, along with Xiao Lei, transported the goods away. Instead of carrying the goods directly to their home, they delivered them to the house they had bought.
Guang Sheng and Xiao Lei also started to consider buying houses after Qiao Jiuru had asked them for help in finding out where people were selling houses over the past two years. When the price and the houses were suitable, they each bought one.
They buy very simple houses, just a small courtyard and a few rooms. Even a house like that costs three or four thousand yuan. They only dare to buy it because they trust Qiao Jiuru and have the mindset of reselling it.
However, now they think it was a good decision to buy the house. For example, now they have a place to store their goods. And while they initially felt bad about spending half their savings on the house, now that they've earned so much money selling clothes, they realize that amount is really nothing.
It's safe to store so much merchandise in an uninhabited place, so Guang Sheng stayed behind to watch over it, while Xiao Lei and Lu Xi'er each took the clothes they were selling that day and left.
As for Qiao Jiuru, no sooner had Xiao Lei and the others left than Song Luoyun and her brother came over.
They were also there to pick up goods, because they had asked more than a dozen classmates to help sell the goods on Sundays for the past two weeks, so the goods sold out very quickly.
Qiao Jiuru also told the Song siblings about the next batch of goods. The siblings had been following the Su family's lead for many years, so why would they listen to Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan?!
Both siblings knew very well that they were smart and didn't care; they just needed to follow the smart people around.
Song Luoyun took away 800 pieces of clothing this time. These 800 pieces of clothing will be enough for them to sell for about a month. The weather is getting colder and colder, and there is no worry about selling the clothes.
Mai Nian shared the same idea. After he called Qiao Jiuru to ask how much inventory was left and about the next batch of goods, Mai Nian decided to wholesale the goods and sell the rest slowly.
Not only that, Mai Nian also ordered the last batch of stock from Qiao Jiuru. He planned to order 1,000 pieces for this last batch, and Qiao Jiuru intended to have Bai Jianmin and his team transport the remaining stock.
Baigou Village Production Team, Team Headquarters.
Bai Lianshan answered the phone immediately after it had only rung a few times.
"Xiaoru, should Jianmin and the others go to Beijing again?! When?! Okay, okay, the production team just finished the autumn harvest, and they're free, so I'll do as you say."
Upon hearing Qiao Jiuru's plea over the phone, Bai Lianshan immediately agreed.
This is leading his production team to prosperity, how can he possibly support it?!
There's no work to do in the fields right now. Letting the production team members sit idle all day is risky; it would be better to find them something to do.
"Xiaoru, regarding finding a garment factory, we found one in the county. It's not as easy to find one in the city as it is in the county, after all, the city has more resources than the county."
Bai Lianshan told Qiao Jiuru about the information he had gathered over the past few months: They planned to collaborate with clothing factories to produce their own clothes and then sell them themselves.
However, there was only one clothing factory in their county, and the other was a textile factory, but the textile factory produced clothes.
"As long as we have a garment factory and machines, that's fine. As for materials, we'll keep inquiring. Captain, don't rush, we still have six months."
Qiao Jiuru comforted him on the phone, saying that he would be going abroad to visit relatives next July, which would take at least a month, so the clothing factory would not be able to start production until after October.
"Captain, if you have time, why don't you and Uncle Jiu come to Beijing? We can have a good chat and make some plans."
They hadn't seen each other for several years, and Qiao Jiuru extended an invitation to Bai Lianshan, saying that contacting each other by phone or letter was far less effective than meeting in person.
When Bai Lianshan heard Qiao Jiuru's invitation to visit Beijing again, his heart was filled with excitement. He also longed to go back to Beijing; who wouldn't yearn for that place?!
"Xiaoru, let me think about it."
“Okay, if it’s alright, it would be best if you came with Jianmin and the others this time. Anyway, this trip will only take a maximum of five days.”
