Chapter 69 Inquiry
Finally, Wang Silan gave Zhou Xiaoli and the others a 10% discount on everything they bought. Originally, these hair accessories were not expensive for them, and after the discount, the prices were even more attractive, making people crazy excited.
Zhou Xiaoli has short hair, which looks even more feminine and fashionable with the headband on. She stands in front of the mirror, looking at herself again and again, her eyes full of satisfaction.
Not many people dare to import this kind of goods now, and Fengcheng is still a small city. Zhou Xiaoli has seen many celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan in pictorials, and they also wear this kind of headband.
"Auntie, do you come here to set up your stall every Sunday?"
After paying the bill, Zhou Tingyue asked Wang Silan with great concern. She usually loves beauty, and now that there is such a small stall, she can't wait to come and have a look every day.
Even if you don’t buy them every day, just looking at these things will make you feel good!
The items on the stall were all sold out. Wang Silan was busy packing up the stall. When she heard the girl's classmate ask this question, she could only smile apologetically: "Girl, I usually set up a stall in the county market. The city is strictly controlled and I can't set up a stall often."
There are stalls in Fengcheng now, but most of them sell food. There are also stalls selling vegetables and cloth. However, they only set up the stalls for a while in the morning and then leave. It is not like Wang Silan, where everyone has to choose and try on the items.
It takes a long time to take the bus from the city to the county. It’s okay for high school students to take a walk on weekdays, but if they run so far just to buy hair bands and hair clips, their families will definitely not agree.
Those who are willing to spend money on decorations usually have a good family background and can afford to provide their children with entertainment, but at the same time they also hope that their children can succeed and get into college.
When Zhou Tingyue heard that Wang Silan often set up a stall in the county town, she said with helplessness and regret: "Alas, the county town is too far away. It would be great if there was a store like this in the city."
Hang Jingshu was helping to tidy up the stall. Hearing this, he looked up and his eyes immediately met Wang Silan's.
The mother and daughter's eyes crossed in the air, and they both noticed the excitement in each other's eyes.
You should know that the development of the small commodity economy in later generations also began around the millennium.
At that time, there was a so-called "two-yuan store" on almost every commercial street. The items sold there were cheap and of a wide variety, especially various accessories and toys, which were constantly changing in style.
Many little girls’ introduction to cosmetics started at the two-dollar store.
The slogan is even more familiar: "Take a look, take a look, two dollars won't buy you a loss, you won't be cheated! I have all the looks you like!"
For a small store that starts at two yuan, it is not a dream to earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a year during its peak period.
As long as there is enough traffic, the goods move quickly, and the turnover rate is high, you will naturally not have to worry about not making money.
The prices are cheap and the variety is complete, so few people walk out of the two-yuan store empty-handed.
This is also the kind of business that Hang Jingshu is eyeing.
It was an unspoken agreement between mother and daughter to open a store in Fengcheng in the future.
After the stall was packed up, Hang Jingshu smiled and said to Zhou Tingyue: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, but we will all get better and better in the future!"
Zhou Xiaoli also nodded in agreement: "Yes, everyone will definitely get better and better in the future!"
After seeing Zhou Xiaoli and a few others off, Hang Jingshu pushed the cart and chatted with Wang Silan as they walked. Only then did he understand why Wang Silan had time to bring him lunch that day.
"The money is getting more and more, so I want to keep track of it, but it's no use even if I can understand the ghost-like talismans myself, haha," Wang Silan smiled and took out the small notebook she used to keep accounts.
The text written above is somewhat different from what Hang Jingshu learned, it is two simplified characters.
Although Wang Silan had never been to school, she had attended a literacy class, and Hang Jingshu could recognize most of the characters she wrote.
Although the handwriting on the notebook was a bit sloppy, each part was clearly divided, and the purchase price and retail profit were recorded separately.
Seeing how serious the young lady was, Wang Silan felt a little embarrassed: "Mom, I'm not well-educated. I used your empty notebook and pencil stubs at home. That day, I went to ask your eldest sister how to keep accounts more clearly."
Although Sister Hang only attended primary school in the village and later studied in night school for a long time, and is now a cashier in the factory, it was very easy for her to teach Wang Silan how to keep accounts.
After roughly reading it, Hang Jingshu returned the account book to Wang Silan. Naturally, he praised his mother, who was a self-motivated person, without reservation: "Mom, you are amazing! No wonder you are so good at farming and doing business!"
Wang Silan smiled more shyly after hearing this, and took the opportunity to put forward her own idea: "My dear, I want to buy a dictionary today. I can't do business blindly. Can you help me pick one?"
Of course, Hang Jingshu would not refuse this. "Okay! Of course!"
There happened to be a bookstore that Hang Jingshu often visited. When she arrived at the door, the owner of the bookstore greeted her: "Little girl, there are new test papers today, and I specially left a set for you."
Wang Silan was not nervous when she was selling goods, but she became nervous when she arrived at the door of the bookstore. Hang Renshan took the bicycle and looked at her curiously: "Wife, why don't you go in?"
Wang Silan was speechless. She didn't know what was wrong. When she arrived at the door of the bookstore, she suddenly felt inferior and felt weak.
Judging from the way the lady skillfully chatted with the boss, she seemed to be a regular customer. I guess she used part of the money she earned to buy test papers.
"Mom, what are you doing? Come in!" Hang Jingshu saw Wang Silan standing at the door without moving, so he walked out again, took her arm and led her in. "I picked out a Xinhua Dictionary for you, and also bought two pens and five notebooks."
Wang Silan was feeling a little inferior at first, but when she heard her daughter say this, she immediately became anxious: "Why are you paying so quickly? Mom has money! I'll buy you a few more test papers!"
The bookstore owner was also amused by the interaction between the mother and daughter: "Great, both adults and children are studying hard, it's a good sign."
Wang Silan felt a little embarrassed before entering the door, but after seeing the boss, she calmed down a lot.
Especially after taking a closer look at the store, Wang Silan's expression changed instantly. She approached the counter without leaving any trace and spoke to the boss naturally: "My child has a lot of study to do now, so having a bookstore like this is really convenient."
Mr. He is in his 40s and quit his job at a printing factory to start his own business.
This bookstore is also the starting point of his career. When someone praises him, he starts to talk: "Of course, I spent a long time choosing this place."
After hearing what he said, Wang Silan struck while the iron was hot. While Hang Jingshu was picking out the papers, she had a good chat with Boss He.
Finally, I got first-hand information. Now, if you want to rent a property in this commercial street, you have to find the owner. The most important thing is that you need a business license to sell things!
Looking at the spacious shop with bright windows, Wang Silan's heart was beating with excitement.
I never dared to think about these things before, but now that I have money in my hands, I am really eager to do them!
