"Wife, what do you think about how to match these clothes? Or should we each take a portion and sell them?" Li Baichuan pulled Biancheng aside.
He had no idea of his wife's abilities; every word she said was meaningful.
Did he really think his wife was just here for fun?
"Let me sort them out first. It's best to finish these clothes within a few days." Suti realized there were really too many clothes, even though clothes don't take up much weight.
But how did they manage to transport such a mountain of clothes back?
Suti got the purchase order from Baichuan and checked the prices; they were indeed very cheap.
She separated the more fashionable clothes, the more formal ones, and the ones less prone to mistakes.
Suti couldn't bear to look at those ornaments anymore; she felt that the people from Hong Kong had cheated them.
She gave them the unsold goods, not believing that the taste in Hong Kong was like that, but fortunately the price was very cheap.
Suti reworked many of the hair clips that could be repaired, and used the rest as decorations on her clothes.
And those various glass-like decorations—she had no idea what they were used for.
She could only tamper with the clothes that didn't look very good, and it took her a lot of effort to sort them out.
"Sister-in-law, you're amazing! You've made the clothes look so much more classy." Biancheng didn't know what to say; he only knew that these shiny things looked good.
I watched as his sister-in-law took some rags, disassembled some of the items, and then reassembled them, sewing them onto some clothes she had deliberately chosen.
He also discovered that his sister-in-law hadn't touched most of the clothes; she had simply categorized them, with only a few clothes being picked out separately.
Maybe he has a good eye? Even his sister-in-law can't find fault with him.
If Suti knew what he was thinking, she would only say that he was overthinking it; she had categorized those clothes into several groups.
It also depends on who you're dealing with. She got a lot of stylish clothes from the younger girls at the school.
She received some dignified clothes from those living near the family compound, and then there were those clothes that I really don't know how to describe.
While some might find it ugly, she cleverly used some of the jewelry that seemed a bit unsuitable to wear to decorate herself.
It immediately looked much more upscale, so at least it would sell out quickly. Next time, she couldn't let two grown men go and select the goods.
"Baichuan, let me know when you've sold them, and I'll come help you." Su Ti thought she would still go and check on the first day.
Judging from how those people accept it, mainly from her perspective, she thinks these clothes are all very outdated.
But she wants something trendy, which might not be in demand yet. If you want to make money, you have to cater to the market.
"Okay." This time, not only Li Baichuan agreed, but even Biancheng on the other side nodded repeatedly.
He realized that his sister-in-law was very insightful, and he also thought about what Brother Chuan had said before.
I used to say that my wife was amazing, but now it seems I wasn't just bragging; it was really true. My sister-in-law is really something!
The day after Suti returned to school, the policy of fully opening up the economy was launched in Beijing.
This left everyone bewildered. What did this mean? Did it mean that free buying and selling would be allowed from now on? Selling things would no longer be illegal, and it wouldn't be considered speculation anymore?
This news left everyone bewildered, but most people just listened and wondered if the policy would change again.
If there's another crackdown later, they'll be in trouble if they do anything wrong. Many people will just treat it as a spectacle.
After all, most of the people who can stay in Beijing have formal jobs or are studying.
The wave of layoffs hadn't arrived yet, and many educated youth hadn't returned to their hometowns, so no one took these things seriously.
But this was exactly what Li Baichuan and the others had been waiting for. Su Ti took leave immediately upon hearing the news.
They took the clothes according to her classification and took them to various places, where they set up stalls in a very casual manner.
Unlike some of the peddlers around them who carried their wares on shoulder poles, they were setting up their stalls openly and honestly.
At first, many people on the street didn't dare to come over. It was only when they saw that those wearing red armbands didn't care that they went over to join in the fun.
But once they saw it, they couldn't leave. They had never seen any of the clothes before, and they didn't even need tickets, so they all started grabbing them.
Fortunately, Li Baichuan had a lot of people under his command. Although the main force selling things was women, there were quite a few men standing on the side.
They were all tall and strong, and looked formidable, so no one dared to cause trouble.
Those clothes were nowhere near the ones Suti thought anyone would choose.
The clothes were all gone by noon, and Suti realized that they were in the first batch and many others were still short of clothes.
In department stores, you need receipts for the fabrics used to make clothes. Many people have money but no receipts. Now there are clothes that don't require receipts.
Even if they hadn't seen any nice clothes before, there would still be plenty of people buying them.
"Wife, the goods were all sold out in three different places. The goods in the warehouse will be almost gone by the afternoon."
Li Baichuan himself couldn't believe it; he had listened to his wife and sold all those clothes at double the price.
Even so, it's still cheaper than those department stores that require tickets; they're not making money unethically.
These things, aside from the initial investment, also involve manpower and the risks of going to the port city; they deserve to earn this money.
"This is just the beginning. I estimate that many people have already realized this. Maybe tomorrow or the day after, there will be a sudden increase in the number of street vendors."
“If you can get these clothes, others can get them too. They won’t be unique anymore. If we want to continue, we have to go for the high-quality route.”
"I'll go with you next time you go." Li Baichuan didn't notice, but Su Ti did notice that besides those who came to buy clothes...
There were also quite a few people looking around furtively. Even in the black market, Kang Laowu wasn't the only one; there were many others from the underworld.
They would never let this opportunity to make money slip by; in fact, they were the ones who led the way.
With everything in ruins and everyone lacking everything, selling anything is like picking up money.
"Then I'll get everyone to sell the goods here as soon as possible, and then we can head to the port city sooner." Li Baichuan became slightly anxious upon hearing what his wife said.
He also thought about the shops his wife had mentioned; it seemed he would have to find someone to clean them up.
Suti had a general idea of the situation by the time he arrived in the morning, so he didn't go there in the afternoon and went straight to school to draw.
She plans to go to the port city to see if there is an opportunity to find a partner. Compared to the current state-owned factories, where everything has to go through the government, she prefers to cooperate with private companies.
It will save a lot of trouble, and they value design more, which makes it easier to negotiate prices.
