The two of them didn't hide the envy in their eyes. Feng Yan was cheerful and asked directly, "Would you please stretch out your hand so I can see it?"
sure!
The two men pulled at the lotus leaf collar of Cheng Maixiang's white shirt, and then looked down at her black pants. They were obviously made of the same fabric, but the change in style made the clothes look indescribably beautiful and elegant.
Most girls are naturally not immune to nice clothes, and He Qiuhua and Feng Yan are no exception. After looking at each other for a while, He Qiuhua couldn't help but ask, "Cheng Maixiang, if we buy yours, how much will it cost?"
"Can you give us a discount on the clothes since we are classmates?" Feng Yan said quickly before Cheng Maixiang could answer.
Seeing Cheng Maixiang seemed a little hesitant, Feng Yan put forward another condition, "Don't worry, I won't buy from you just this once. My parents have a decent income, and they basically buy me a new piece of clothing every one or two months. If the clothes made by the garment factory are really good, then I will buy from you every time."
Feng Yan's words really touched Cheng Maixiang, and made her suddenly realize that there were business opportunities in this high school.
Generally speaking, in an era when there was no opportunity to go to college and after graduation children either went to work in factories or went to the countryside, families who insisted on letting their children, especially girls, go to high school were generally not too poor.
Such a family may not be able to buy new clothes every few days like girls in later generations, but for Feng Yan, buying a new set of clothes every one or two months is not a problem.
No matter how poor the times or how poor the place, there are always people with middle and upper incomes. She set up a garment workshop and their target customers are them.
Moreover, if the clothes from the garment factory were to spread among the girls in this school through word of mouth, perhaps a group effect could be formed, just like when she was in college in her previous life, there were classmates who had good sources of goods, and the girls in the entire dormitory building would rush to buy them.
Thinking of this, Cheng Maixiang smiled and said, "Of course it has to be cheap. We're classmates after all. Let me tell you something: these clothes will be available in the county supply and marketing cooperative next week. Each set is priced at seven yuan. If you really want them, I'll give you six yuan and give you something else."
Cheng Maixiang took out a white handkerchief from her pocket. On the handkerchief was embroidered a small bridge in the south of the Yangtze River. Willows swayed beside the bridge, making it look particularly elegant.
The handkerchief successfully attracted the attention of the two men. They couldn't let it go and looked at it over and over again. The more they looked at it, the more they liked it.
"How about it, is it okay?"
Feng Yan almost didn't think twice and immediately said, "No problem, I'll order a dress like yours and give me a handkerchief like this."
Perhaps six yuan was a bit too much for He Qiuhua. She glanced at Cheng Maixiang's clothes, then at the handkerchief, and finally asked hesitantly, "What if I only want this handkerchief?"
Seeing that she really liked the handkerchief, Cheng Maixiang told her the truth, "This handkerchief is priced at three dollars and fifty cents at the supply and marketing cooperative. If you really want it, just give me two dollars."
He Qiuhua thought for a while before nodding in agreement.
"Okay, it's a deal. When you come back next week, remember to bring us some clothes and handkerchiefs!"
Of course she would remember it. This was the first business deal she made in high school. How could she forget it?
