Chapter 214 Zhang Ying (6)
Zhang Ying was confident about her success in the clothing business. The villagers, unfamiliar with the market, had come to her asking her to lead them, and she didn't want to get too involved.
Because colleagues are enemies, what she can do is what she can do, but if someone else or using a different method is used, it may not work. She knows this very well.
But since they were all from the same village, they'd seen each other every day. Since they'd come asking for help, there was no reason not to help. Furthermore, these people had all helped her before, so she couldn't refuse!
It was already afternoon when the group arrived at the wholesale market, which was bustling with people.
Most of the people who come to purchase goods are small business owners. They all carry several huge black plastic bags, or pull a two-wheeled cart behind them for storing goods, which is full of at least three large parcel bags.
There are three large passages in the clothing wholesale market, which are interconnected like a maze, and there are dozens of clothing wholesale stores in each passage.
The shop owner, wearing a dirty, baggy coat and speaking in a thick local dialect, stood at the door to solicit business: "Come on, come on, come in and take a look. The minimum order is 10 pieces, and we'll deliver 30 pieces."
Zhang Ying's group consisted of about ten people, making it a rather large group. They simply couldn't keep up with the process of visiting each household.
Wholesale stores are busy and don't have time to introduce them. Basically, everyone who does long-term business has a store they frequent.
Zhang Ying took the group directly to the restaurant she had been frequenting recently.
This store can be said to be the largest store in the entire market, with an estimated area of at least 150 square meters.
The store's four walls are lined with display racks, each with three tiers, filled with seasonal samples. Near the door is a bar, used for checkout and the owner's daily routine. The rest of the area is packed with bundles of clothing.
A large store is bound to attract business. When Zhang Ying and her friends entered, the owner was busy allocating goods to other customers. Three or four men in large aprons were constantly searching for clothes in the pile and putting them into large plastic bags held by customers.
Seeing someone come in, the owner was busy issuing invoices while calling out: "Take a look first, and if you like what you like, come over to order! The minimum order for all styles is 10 pieces, and we won't sell less! Out-of-stock sizes are 5 yuan each, so take your pick!"
"5 yuan a piece?" Li Xiaoyan was shocked. She turned to Zhang Ying and asked, "How did you know about this store? It's so cheap! Why didn't we notice it before?"
Tian Lei was picking out clothes behind her. When she heard this, she replied, "Of course I've noticed it, but I just didn't dare to come in! It's such a big store, it doesn't look cheap at all.
"Where are we going? The first row at the gate is a grocery store! This kind of store obviously supplies goods to the mall. Why would we even think of coming here?"
"That's right!" Several people behind him nodded in agreement.
I knew their method of purchasing goods was wrong, but I never thought they didn't even do the most basic investigation?
Zhang Ying sighed inwardly and said, "You're mistaken. The bigger the store, the better the products you can find."
She casually pointed to the shelf that said "Clearance sale, 5 yuan each": "Let's not talk about the price of the clothes on the display, just look at these clearance items. Which one is not new? Take a look first, and if you like something, take it and go back to buy it for a flash sale!"
When Li Xiaoyan heard this, she hurried forward to make a choice. Others followed and gathered around the promotional shelves to make their selections.
Zhang Ying didn't go over, but turned around to look for the owner.
"What's new today? It's still the same, I'm packing up and leaving!"
The shop owner was busy issuing invoices and collecting payments from other people. He casually pointed to the tallest row of shelves on the opposite wall and said, "Those are all new. They just came back this morning. They have all the sizes. You can take your pick first!"
Zhang Ying looked up and smiled, "This isn't new!"
"How come this isn't new?" the shopkeeper shouted as he counted the money. "I'm the only one in the market that has this model. How can it not be considered new?"
"I want the latest models that just came back today." Zhang Ying said, "Don't try to fool me. I bought these a few days ago. They're selling pretty well. I'll just stock up on some more!"
Upon hearing this, the shop owner quickly settled the bill for the previous customer and came over to serve her: "All the new styles are here. You've been coming in too often these days, asking for new items every day. We're selling clothes, not cabbages. How can we have new styles every day?"
"Since there are no new styles, please give me some simple ones!"
Zhang Ying pointed at the samples on the wall and slowly moved back: "I'll buy a set of each of these styles in all sizes. And then, I'll get a few of those 5-yuan ones on the shelf according to the order quantity!"
"Oh my, you're really brave, girl. This is a business that doesn't make any money, how can you give it away like this?"
As the owner spoke, he quickly picked up a pen and assigned the goods to her. The young men next to him who had just finished the previous batch of orders turned around and packed for Zhang Ying, sweating profusely from the heat.
The few people who were picking out promotional items had almost finished their selection and came over with the clothes to show Zhang Ying.
Zhang Ying also picked out a few pieces and compared them with everyone else at the door while holding the clothes.
"Flash sale items don't need to be of high quality, as long as they're nice and affordable. Girls these days want something unique, and they don't want to pick something that's just everywhere."
Avoid bright colors; opt for lighter colors that are easier to match. For items with cartoon patterns, choose white, and have more short-sleeved T-shirts. Match shirts, skirts, and shorts to your style, and try to choose medium sizes. Large and small sizes are hard to find!
This is a true "business saga"! Zhang Ying finished speaking in one breath, scanning the clothes that everyone was picking out.
After all this, most of the clothes in the hands of several people were unqualified.
Li Xiaoyan and Tian Lei looked at the colorful skirts and cartoon shirts in their hands, and hung them back on the shelves.
Li Li hesitated holding the clothes, taking three steps forward and two steps back, but in the end she didn't retreat. Seeing that she didn't retreat, the others didn't want to retreat either.
Seeing that they had almost finished their selection, Zhang Ying took a few people to the distribution area. "I usually choose from this row. They're basically all new styles, so you can't go wrong. Take whatever you like. But remember, you have to buy all sizes! That way I can get you a package deal!"
The new style Zhang Ying mentioned was truly amazing. A few people looked at the wall, feeling a little embarrassed.
Tank tops, camisole tops, backless tops, one-shoulder dresses, tube tops, halter dresses—they're so revealing on the models that they're almost afraid to look. How can this even be considered clothing? It's even more revealing than pajamas!
Several people looked at it, but didn't know where to start. After hesitating for a long time, they smiled and asked Zhang Ying for help: "Why don't you help me choose! I'll take whatever you want!"
Zhang Ying smiled helplessly and pointed to a few styles and said to the shop assistant: "Give them a pack of those styles as well!"
"How many people?" the waiter asked, looking at the huge group of people.
"All of them!" said Zhang Ying.
The guy received the order and immediately started packing the things in bags.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoyan quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Hey, hey, hey, don't pack mine, I'll pick it myself!"
"Me too!" Tian Lei followed.
