Chapter 14: Way Out
Chapter 14: Way Out
That day Fang Qing found Wang Xuefei and told her that he wanted to find a wholesaler, hoping that she could go back and ask her family. He also talked about the future market development trends, hoping that these words could impress Wang Xuefei's father.
I thought this matter would take a long time, but unexpectedly Wang Xuefei brought a reply from her father the next day.
"My dad said that this type of schoolbag has already been made in coastal cities, and the price is very cheap and there are many styles. Although yours is not bad, it doesn't have a price advantage, so..."
Fang Qing nodded to show that she understood. She was too stubborn before and did not understand the market conditions. Although the plan seemed perfect, if there was a problem in any link, the final loss would be something she could not afford.
She had always been optimistic until Wang Xuefei's father pointed out the potential problems one by one, and then she realized how naive her original idea was.
"Thank your father for me. If it weren't for his guidance, I might have suffered heavy losses."
Wang Xuefei smiled innocently and handed over a handful of candy. "But my dad also praised you, saying that you are smart and that although you lack experience, you will definitely do great things in the future. So, don't be discouraged. There are not many people that my dad has praised."
Fang Qing smiled gratefully, then took out a schoolbag from under the desk, "This is the schoolbag I promised you, take a look, are you satisfied?"
Wang Xuefei was happily spinning around with his schoolbag in his arms, but became anxious when he saw Fang Qing didn't want any money. In the end, he left one dollar as a reward for his hard work and then ran away with his schoolbag.
After this incident, Fang Qing's idea of running an independent business was dashed, and he was depressed for several days. When he returned home on the weekend, he saw his uncle walking with a seductive woman, and Fang Qing's eyebrows suddenly jumped.
In the previous life, my uncle was imprisoned because of a fight with my girlfriend. I didn’t see him again until I was in a mental hospital for many years. At that time, my uncle, who was once full of vigor and vitality, had half of his hair turned white. But before I could wait for my uncle to pick me up, he died there...
Although the old uncle was not doing his job properly at home, he was very concerned about Fang Qing and her siblings, so Fang Qing would never let the old uncle go back to his old ways. She must change the fate of the old uncle!
But what to do, need to think carefully...
Looking at the schoolbag on the bed and recalling what Wang Xuefei's father said, Fang Qing suddenly had an idea in his mind.
She remembered that there was a man named Wang Dali in the county town who often went to other provinces and cities to transport goods. She heard that this man was generous and honest, and had principles in doing business. If her uncle could go out with him, he could avoid the impending disaster and also find something for her uncle to do.
After dinner, the uncle came home to chat again. Fang Qing tugged at the corner of his uncle's clothes, gave him a look, and walked out of the yard.
"Girl, what's wrong? Is someone bullying you again? Don't worry, tell your uncle and he will help you vent your anger." The uncle took a bite of the wilted apple and looked at his niece in front of him with a solemn promise.
Fang Qing shook his head and said with a bitter face about his failed money-making plan, "Uncle, I now feel more and more that money is important. Without money, it is difficult to move forward and do anything you want. If I were not still in school, I really want to go out and earn some money..."
Uncle Fang Deli was delighted. He rubbed the girl's head with his big hands and said, "You are a little girl. How can you think about these things all the time? Your main task now is to study hard and get a college diploma for our Fang family in the future. Don't even mention money. Even if you want mountains of gold and silver, your uncle will bring them to you!"
Fang Qing pouted, "You are bragging again. If you have the ability, take out a hundred-dollar bill and show it to me now?"
Fang Deli was speechless after being asked by his niece. He suddenly felt that the apple in his hand was not tasty anymore. He raised his hand and threw it far away. "Uncle...I just haven't had the opportunity. If there was an opportunity to make money, your uncle would definitely be able to earn a houseful of money!"
Fang Qing rolled his eyes in his heart. You really are my uncle. You can brag even more than me.
"I don't believe it. Uncle Wang from Dongsanjia goes out to deliver goods every week. I heard he can make a hundred bucks every time. He's now a millionaire and is still hiring. If you're not bragging, go and try it. Otherwise, you're just kidding."
This was the first time that Fang Deli felt that his eldest niece was so difficult to deal with, but the words had already been spoken. He couldn't let a child accuse him of bragging, right?
"Okay, just wait and see how your uncle will make a fortune for you!" After asking the other party's name, Fang Deli was not in the mood to continue chatting. He said hello to his second brother and his wife, and left in a hurry.
It was not until the uncle had gone far that Fang Qing remembered something. His uncle had no money and had not decided what to do, so he just left like that? Fang Qing shook his head and could only pray to the moon, hoping that his uncle would have a safe journey and could really settle down and do something.
Although the schoolbag business failed, it still gave Fang Qing a lot of inspiration. She would think about ways to make money when she had nothing to do on weekdays, especially when she went to Teacher Zhang's house with Wen Ling every weekend and painted on the drawing board with a brush, she became more determined to do business.
Until one day, her eldest brother's hands were worn out while working in the factory. Looking at his tattered gloves, she finally knew what she wanted to sell.
Although Jingtan County is a small county, there are many factories around it. In addition to textile factories, wineries, and steel mills, there are also many small processing plants. Most people need to work on weekdays, so the demand for gloves is very high.
The aunt stared at the gloves in her hand for a long time, then looked up at her niece, "Qing, you are not kidding your aunt, are you? These gloves are everywhere on the street, we don't have any advantage at all..."
Fang Qing propped up his chin and asked, "Aunt, let me ask you, how much is a pair of gloves now?"
The aunt said reluctantly, "They're fifty cents a bundle below the archway, and there are ten in a bundle."
Fang Qing nodded. "How many pairs of gloves do you think you can make from one meter of cloth? Is our cloth stronger and more durable?"
The young aunt understood Fang Qing's meaning, and estimated in her mind the amount that could be obtained from a piece of cloth. She was shocked!
"You can actually make so much? If you sell it at the market price, it's more than my monthly salary! You are amazing, girl. You can even think of this idea..."
The aunt patted Fang Qing's shoulder excitedly, making Fang Qing feel numb. "But how to sell it is a problem. If we can sell a lot of it in one batch, then we can make back our investment."
After thinking for a long time, she finally asked her friends and relatives to ask the factories whether they wanted to purchase this kind of gloves. After making a plan, she bought a few meters of cloth and sewed them at home during her rest time at night. She also asked her boyfriend and nephews to take them to the factory to inquire about the demand.
A week later, Fang Ming suddenly came back excitedly, "Good news, our factory is going to purchase a batch of gloves, the gloves you make are wear-resistant and reasonably priced, and the purchasing department has approved them!"
