A day later, Bai Lianshan and his group, carrying large and small bags, boarded a train and left Jingdong. Two nights and one day later, they returned to their county.
On the platform, the production team members who had received the phone call were already waiting to pick them up.
"Captain, the six of us will stay in the county to sell clothes and socks. The rest of you will go back with you. Send a few people to the commune to sell, and the rest of you will inform people in other production teams that if they want to sell clothes and socks, they can come to our production team to buy them."
After leaving the train station, Bai Jianmin told the captain about his plans.
Actually, he had already discussed it with Bai Jianshe and the others on the train. They needed to leave some people in the county to sell a batch of goods. They wouldn't feel at ease if they didn't sell them as soon as possible.
They took too many socks this time, and they're worried about selling them for the New Year. After all, the county, commune, and production team only have so many people, and they don't know if they can handle it all!
"Okay, be careful, don't make things too big."
Bai Lianshan was also doing this for the first time and was not very confident. He had seen Mai Nian and his group take away so many goods in one go when he was in Beijing, so he felt that he had more manpower and confidence in Qiao Jiuru, so he acted impulsively.
"Captain, don't worry, we know what to do."
Bai Jianshe and his team had some experience selling things before, so they were quite confident.
Of the 500 pieces of clothing Qiao Jiuru gave them, Bai Jianmin and the others kept 300 pieces to sell in the county, while socks were taken away in a pack of 6,000 pairs.
The remaining two hundred pieces of clothing and nine thousand pairs of socks were taken back by Bai Lianshan and the production team that came to pick them up, and the two groups separated in the county.
Bai Jianshe and his group went to stay at Uncle Jiu's courtyard in the county. The place had been cleaned in advance, and they had brought their bedding, as well as oil, salt, rice, noodles, bowls, chopsticks, and firewood.
"Seventh Brother and I will go to the textile factory to sell clothes, while Fifth Brother and Fifth Brother will go to the machinery factory. As for socks, the four of you will also form two groups, but don't go to the flour mill or the paper mill to sell them."
"Buy one pair of socks and get one free. Socks with defects are two yuan a pair, and socks without defects are two yuan and fifty cents a pair."
"You must only have one group selling the defective items, and you must not sell the same items at the same time, understand?!"
Before noon, Bai Jianmin and his group couldn't stay still any longer and decided to go out and sell their goods. The group immediately formed a sales team.
Before staying in the prefecture, they had been to Kyoto, the sea, and the south. They had seen noodles and sold goods in Kyoto, so they were naturally experienced and skilled.
Soon, the four groups set off with their respective cargo.
Bai Jianmin and his team arrived at the textile factory shortly after the workers' lunch break.
"Comrade, want to buy clothes?! I have the most fashionable coats, sweaters, cotton-padded coats and suits that I just brought back from the south. They are cheaper and better looking than those in the department stores. There are not many left, once they are sold out, they will be gone."
Seeing the female workers surging out of the factory, Bai Jianmin didn't want to miss this opportunity. He immediately picked up a beige coat and went to the side of a well-dressed female worker, spouting off words as soon as he opened his mouth.
The female worker was startled when he suddenly appeared beside her. Then she listened to what he said and saw the coat he was holding.
That off-white coat looked very thick and well-tailored; it even had a belt.
"How much does this coat cost?!"
This coat is so beautiful; she liked it at first sight.
Mi Xiaoli's eyes were glued to the coat while she asked about the price.
"Comrade, take a look and see if it suits you! Do you like it? You're my first customer today, I can sell it to you at a discount."
"These items were transported back to Beijing from the south by my relatives, and they're selling very well there. I also asked my relatives for some; I just got back from Beijing today, but the quantity is small."
Seeing that things were looking promising, Bai Jianmin immediately unfolded his coat for her to see properly, and even encouraged her to examine the fabric herself.
Mi Xiaoli became more and more excited as she listened. At the same time, the coat was stuffed into her hands. Touching it, she desperately wanted it.
"If I want it, are you really going to give me a discount?! How much of a discount?!"
She stared intently at Bai Jianmin. A coat like this would cost at least 700,000 yuan in a department store, and even then, the style and material wouldn't be as good.
“I told you, you’re my first customer, so I’ll give you 5.5 yuan for this item. Others will have to pay 6.5 yuan.”
As Bai Jianmin spoke in a low voice, he looked around and showed the coat in his hand to Mi Xiaoli. Many female workers had already looked over at them curiously.
"Really?! You're not lying?!"
Mi Xiaoli was excited, surprised, and thrilled. This price was exactly what she was looking for, and more importantly, it was two or three yuan cheaper than at the department store.
"Why would I lie to you?! I'll only sell you one; others will definitely sell them for six dollars each. But you absolutely mustn't tell anyone, or things will get complicated."
Bai Jianmin quickly assured her that selling it for five yuan a piece was too cheap; otherwise, since it was just opening, he would have been selling it for six yuan, which was the price he wanted.
"Okay, I'll take this one."
“Juan, Feng’er, Sister Liu, do you have any money on you?! Can you lend me some money? I’ll pay you back this afternoon when I’m at work.”
Mi Xiaoli nodded without hesitation, then turned and called out to an acquaintance not far away.
Those acquaintances, who had been watching them the whole time, immediately stopped after hearing the word "누". They looked at each other and then walked towards them together.
"Xiao Li, he sells clothes?! How much are they?!"
"How much do you want to borrow?! I only have 10 yuan on me."
“I have two kingdoms.”
"Yes, he has a coat, a suit, and a cotton-padded coat that just came back from the south. The coat is really nice and of good quality, even cheaper than what you get at the department store. I'll lend you the money, and I'll definitely pay you back this afternoon."
After Mi Xiaoli received the money from the group, she immediately gave it to Bai Jianmin, who then quickly gave her his coat.
As soon as the coat was in hand, Mi Xiaoli immediately put it on, instantly attracting the attention of a large number of female workers who had been quietly watching the area.
"Comrade, do you still have this coat?!"
"How much did that coat she's wearing cost?!"
"Yes, yes, we also have suits, cotton-padded coats, and sweaters, but there aren't many left."
"Give me a coat to try on."
"Comrade, what color coat do you want?! I have red, black, blue, and off-white. Sweaters and cotton coats also come in many colors, but suits only have three colors."
What? !
There are so many colors?!
The female workers immediately swarmed around...
A little over an hour later, the clothes were sold out, and Bai Jianmin and his group left empty-handed.
They had just arrived at Uncle Jiu's courtyard when the other three groups of people selling goods also returned one after another. All the goods they had taken out had been sold out.
Bai Jianmin's two groups selling clothes each brought about three hundred pieces of clothing. The two groups selling socks brought more, three hundred pairs each, but they didn't have a single pair left.
