Chapter 251 Sewing Machine Order
Su Xiaoxiao turned her head and saw Zhang Dongmei standing not far away with a mocking look on her face.
This person is really annoying, why is she everywhere?
"I think some people don't have a share, so they're jealous and resentful."
As Zhang Yulan spoke, she picked up a piece of clothing and unfolded it.
The color is a very formal dark blue, but because of the fashionable style, it looks particularly eye-catching.
She picked up the dark blue waisted suit jacket, put it on to try it on, and turned around happily in front of everyone.
Immediately, a passing salesperson looked at her in amazement: "Sister Zhang, where did you buy this dress? It's really beautiful."
Zhang Dongmei scoffed, "They look like work clothes. What's so good about them?"
Zhang Yulan was too lazy to pay attention to her and picked up the dark blue pleated skirt to try it on.
A small blazer with a cinched waist.
She wore a waist-hugging blazer on top and an A-line pleated skirt on the bottom, which just reached her knees.
With this outfit, it feels like the waistline is lengthened, making the waist look slimmer.
Even someone with a slightly plump figure like Zhang Yulan would look thinner after wearing this.
Zhang Yulan happily turned around again and immediately received a lot of praise.
He proudly said, "This is the costume for our year-end gala. Comrade Su designed it himself. You can't buy it anywhere else."
I didn’t expect that this year’s gala would not only give me generous prizes, but also performance costumes.
The group of sales clerks who did not sign up are now regretting it to death.
Who would have thought that the department store managers who were so stingy in previous years would be so generous this year.
Someone couldn't help but say, "It would be great if our department store could give out work clothes like this."
Someone immediately curled their lips: "It's not even dark yet, and you're already dreaming. What good things are you thinking about? Our general manager is so stingy, would he be willing to give each of us a set? He wouldn't even dream of doing that. I'm confused."
"I'm just saying it, how could such a good thing really happen?"
As everyone was talking at once, someone shouted, "Director Chen is here."
After these words were spoken, everyone immediately dispersed and returned to their respective seats.
Director Chen has always been strict. If she catches us gathering here to chat during almost working hours, our wages will definitely be deducted.
There weren't many people this afternoon, and by mid-afternoon there was basically no one left.
Su Xiaoxiao and a few others leaned on the counter and chatted occasionally.
"Why do I feel like our department store's performance has been getting worse recently?"
Zhang Yulan suddenly said.
Qin Shuang quietly moved closer when she heard this. "There are a lot of individual vendors on the market now. They sell cheap things and don't even require tickets. They're definitely more popular than ours. Do you think our department store's business will get worse in the future?"
"Pah, pah, pah, how is that possible? As the saying goes, the arm cannot twist the thigh. These individual vendors are just small-time businesses. How can they compare to the comprehensive range of goods in our department store?"
Zhang Yulan is very confident in the department store.
Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao didn't say anything for a while, he turned around and asked Su Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, don't you think so?"
"Perhaps the government will support self-employed individuals in the future, and department store salespeople will no longer have a stable job."
What Su Xiaoxiao said was true. In two years, the country will even issue relevant policies for individual industrial and commercial households, and department stores will definitely be more affected by that.
Zhang Yulan clearly didn't believe it. "That's absolutely impossible. Everyone knows that our department store is the most profitable unit. Even if someone gets laid off, none of our salespeople will be. You two can rest assured."
Zhang Yulan thought Su Xiaoxiao was worried about losing her job, so she promised the two of them.
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Su Xiaoxiao didn't continue to explain.
She was thinking to herself that if the department store went out of business one day, she would see if she could buy some shares or something.
Her mother and Xu Zhaodi have experience in running a canteen, so they can open a restaurant or something like that.
However, all of these require start-up capital, so it seems she still needs to earn more money now.
Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered what Manager Wang had talked to her about the mini sewing machine.
She has already paid the advance payment for the sewing machine and is just waiting for the order to come in so that she can ask the boss to ship the goods at any time.
Her small warehouse couldn't hold so many sewing machines at once, so she had to negotiate with her boss to only ship as many as she could sell.
When all these sewing machines are sold, she can get a lot of money in rebates alone, which should be enough for the first start-up capital.
She thought happily, and took the time to ask Zhang Yulan and Qin Shuang to help her look after the counter, and ran upstairs to the purchasing department to find Manager Wang.
In the office, Manager Wang was looking at the purchase order worriedly when he heard someone knocking on the door.
After letting someone in, I found out it was Su Xiaoxiao.
The wrinkles between his eyebrows immediately smoothed out a little.
"Comrade Su, you're just in time. I was just about to come look for you. How's the matter with the sewing machine you helped me with?"
"Manager Wang, I've already asked, and they have sufficient supply. It depends on how much you need."
"That's great. Can you have them send over 30 units first? If they sell well, I'll order more."
Su Xiaoxiao originally thought that he would ask for a few more, but unexpectedly he only asked for thirty.
However, this quantity is already quite large for today's department stores, which usually only have about ten or eight ordinary sewing machines in stock.
She immediately agreed in a very good mood: "No problem, I'll have them deliver it to your door tomorrow."
Manager Wang smiled broadly, then thought of a crucial question: "Comrade Su, how much is this sewing machine?"
Su Xiaoxiao ordered a large quantity, so the other party gave her a discount. Moreover, she would receive a substantial rebate for each sewing machine sold, so she could still make a lot of money even if she sold it at a discount.
"One hundred and eighty per unit, no tickets needed."
Su Xiaoxiao thought about it and gave a reasonable price.
This kind of sewing machine is estimated to sell for around 220 yuan on the market.
A profit of forty yuan is already very good.
Manager Wang also thought the price was very reasonable and immediately made the decision, "No problem, Comrade Su. Go back and ask them to give me a price list. I'll go to the general manager for approval tomorrow."
After discussing the sewing machine, Su Xiaoxiao was about to leave when Manager Wang suddenly stopped her and said, "Comrade Su, I have a question for you."
A purchasing manager came to her for advice, which was really a great honor for her.
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, "Manager Wang, you are too polite. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I will definitely help you if I can."
"Comrade Su, as you know, the recent increase in individual vendors in the city has affected our department store's sales. Many products are unsaleable. I'd like to ask if you have any good solutions."
