After arriving in the provincial capital, before meeting Hu Weiguo, Tian Yuzhu went to the black market to buy a pack of Taihang cigarettes.
This cigarette needs a ticket to be purchased in a regular department store, and you also need connections to buy it.
I paid two dollars more on the black market and got it for fifteen dollars.
Jin Ju knew that she was going to give it to Hu Weiguo, and she felt bad: "It's too expensive. I understand that you want to give him something, but some fruit or something will be fine. Why give him cigarettes, which are so expensive?"
"It's not expensive at all. Compared to the benefits that Brother Hu has brought me, I will have to thank him a lot in the future!"
“…” Jinju clicked her lips.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the door of the department store, Hu Weiguo was still waiting for them like last time.
Tian Yuzhu couldn't help but joked: "Brother Hu, you are so enthusiastic. If someone didn't know you, they would think you were waiting for someone!"
Hu Weiguo's face flushed: "It's the same when waiting for friends, the same."
Jin Ju's face also felt a little hot: "..."
The three of them went to the office talking and laughing.
Hu Weiguo immediately took out the bill: "I've sold all the twelve zodiac animals. At fifty yuan a piece, the total sales amount is six hundred yuan. After deducting the company's commission from the counter, there is still five hundred and seventy yuan left."
In other words, Tian Yuzhu of the Chinese Zodiac made a net profit of more than five hundred.
She still remembers that she spent less than a hundred dollars to buy the raw stone.
"Brother Hu, thank you. From now on, just ask the company to take care of the accounts. We can settle the bill once a month."
Tian Yuzhu took the money and handed over the cigarettes in the bag: "This is a small gift from me, you have to keep it."
Hu Weiguo was so frightened that he quickly shook his head: "That won't work. Actually, you helped me. The boss heard that the jewelry cabinet's goods were selling so quickly, which proved that I was right to set up such a platform area. The boss even called to praise me!"
We are all adults, and it’s a bit embarrassing to say these things.
Tian Yuzhu insisted on putting the cigarettes on his desk. "Let's put things in perspective. And ultimately, I have you to thank for this. If it weren't for the jewelry cabinet you planned, I wouldn't have had the chance to stock it. Anyway, you have to keep the things, otherwise I won't show you the new ones!"
"You..." Hu Weiguo was speechless. This girl was too quick-witted and he couldn't argue with her.
Jin Ju pushed the cigarette in front of him and said, "Okay, just keep it. It's not easy for Yuzhu to go to the black market with such a big belly. Besides, you two are brother and sister now, so it's only natural for her to buy you a pack of cigarettes."
"Yes, my sister is the best at talking. That's what I mean."
Tian Yuzhu smiled and hugged Sister Jin.
This sister is such a funny person. Even though it’s just a simple sentence, the meaning is very profound.
The implication is that since you are brother and sister, it is only natural for her to buy you a pack of cigarettes as a gift, and it is also only natural for you to help her in the future.
Therefore, the Chinese language is profound and extensive.
"That's fine, since it's a gift from Sister Yuzhu, I'll accept it." Hu Weiguo was not stupid, so how could he not hear it? He happily accepted the cigarette and said, "Yuzhu, can I see the new goods now?"
Tian Yuzhu winked mischievously: "Show me the sales of clothes first."
"I'm afraid I'll scare you."
Hu Weiguo smiled.
He stood up, took out a list from the drawer and handed it to her. Jinju also came over to take a closer look.
I saw that only two of the five styles of clothes were sold, and the other three were probably the three sample styles.
But the bill had several numbers written on it in red ink.
"What does this mean?" Jinju was confused and pointed at the red number.
Hu Weiguo gave them an answer that surprised them: "These red numbers are all for ordering clothes. Anyone who has a record on them has paid half of the deposit, which means you have to hurry up and make the clothes!"
"so much?"
Tian Yuzhu hurriedly counted them carefully, and there were at least sixty or seventy pieces.
She was suddenly happy and worried: "Brother, you won't promise time to these customers, right?"
"We promised that the delivery will be within a month at most."
"ah?!!"
If the delivery is in a month, then at least two or three pieces must be made in a day?
Tian Yuzhu counted the people who made clothes in her mind. Apart from the three military wives in the military district, there was only Jin Ju.
It is no problem for four people to make two pieces of clothing by hand, but it is almost impossible to do it every day.
Jin Ju also made a rough calculation: "The time is too short, and it's impossible to make it all by hand!"
"Brother, does your department store have any sewing machines? I want to buy one today. I also want fabric. Do you know anyone in the fabric factory?"
"Yeah, please help Yuzhu, it's really too rushed!"
Hu Weiguo said calmly, "I've already considered this for you, but we can only afford one sewing machine. As for the fabric factory, you'll have to go there yourself. I can only tell you the factory's address and important contacts."
Jin Ju didn't understand: "Brother Hu, why don't you help us go to the fabric factory?"
Hu Weiguo said helplessly, "The most I can do is make a phone call, because the person in charge of that factory is a relative of our leader. If the leader finds out that I told you the department store's purchase address, then I..."
"Understood."
Knowing what was going on, Tian Yuzhu quickly interrupted him: "I'll go and look for the cloth myself, but you have to give me enough cloth for at least ten dresses today, otherwise it will be too late!"
"That's no problem."
After discussing the matter of the fabric and sewing machine, Tian Yuzhu planned to let Jinju take these two items back to Shuochi Town first.
Anyway, there are only three clothing styles and designs, and Wang Xiu Di, Zhao Cui and the others are all familiar with them.
And in recent days, she has taught Liu Xiaohui how to cut those three clothes.
They could only use the limited fabrics they had, and Tian Zhu was not just looking for fabrics for this month's clothes. What she needed was a permanent supply factory.
Jin Ju was worried: "How can that be? You go back first. I'll go to the fabric factory. It's not convenient for you to carry a big belly."
"It's okay, sister. I know what's going on. When you get back, tell my sisters-in-law and ask them to tell Zhentang that I'll be back in a few days."
"Yuzhu, you..."
Jinju knew her stubborn temper and it was useless to persuade her.
She could only look at Hu Weiguo: "Brother Hu, you have to take care of it."
"Don't worry!" Hu Weiguo nodded.
After discussing the trip to the fabric factory, Tian Yuzhu took out the jade jewelry she had brought.
The jade is also of good quality and the carving is also excellent, but there are too few of them.
Hu Weiguo rubbed his forehead and said, "This won't last for a few days. And Yuzhu, how's the packaging for your jewelry?"
"I've already designed the blueprints."
Tian Yuzhu said, "I'll go and see if there's anyone who can do it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, I trust you to do things."
After these two interactions, Hu Weiguo began to look at her with a different eye.
Without giving it much time to think, Hu Weiguo and Hetian Yuzhu set the price of the jade jewelry on the spot and put it on the counter.
Hu Weiguo also prepared an account book specifically for Tian Yuzhu. There will be two account books, one for the department store's purchases and sales, and the other for Tian Yuzhu.
