The lighting, however, proved difficult for her.
Spotlights are very important for clothing stores. Downlights and spotlights only became popular in the 1990s and couldn't be bought in building materials markets, so Chu Yu had to change the design.
"If we embed the light tubes into the ceiling to make light strips, and use long light strips with bulbs, and then install a few European-style chandeliers, that should be able to replace spotlights, right?"
Shen Zhuyu was completely bewildered.
However, she was quite knowledgeable about European chandeliers. She had sold erotic magazines in the only four-star hotel in Quan'an City, and that hotel had European chandeliers, which the waiters said were in the Rococo style, but such chandeliers were not easy to buy on the market.
They came across a lamp at a building materials market in Deyang. The owner tried his best to sell it to them, but Chu Yu thought it was too small and not luxurious enough.
When Dai Donglin heard that she wanted to buy a chandelier, he was delighted, "Why didn't you come to me?"
Chu Yu pursed her lips: "You're not a lamp seller, what good would it do me to come to you?"
"I don't sell lights, but I do smuggling. What can't I buy in Hong Kong?"
Chu Yu laughed at his words. "Yes, what good things can't you buy in Hong Kong?" In the 1980s, televisions, refrigerators, and ovens were common in Hong Kong, and the real estate industry had developed. Not to mention small crystal chandeliers.
Her smile made Dai Donglin feel comfortable.
“Draw a picture of the style you want for me. Old Ma is going to Guangdong Province tomorrow. I’ll have him take the picture and go to the port city to buy it for you!”
With such a supportive boyfriend, how could Chu Yu possibly refuse?
She's not stupid; she doesn't use the existing connections and has to go through all the trouble of importing crystal chandeliers from Hong Kong herself.
Dai Donglin felt that she could rely on him more. Her problem wasn't that she used him too much, but that she wasn't willing to use him! You could say that he was a great man, handsome, with a great physique, and full of energy with nowhere to go. She could just open her mouth and he would go through fire and water for her, but she wouldn't even open her mouth.
I hadn't seen her for a few days, and she had not only bought a house and found a business partner, but also started the renovation.
Dai Donglin was decisive and efficient, but Chu Yu was even more efficient. In just one summer vacation, she went from being a farm girl selling night-shining sand in Shanguan Village to becoming a self-employed shop owner with considerable assets, and she also managed to get an education along the way.
Dai Donglin received news that the crackdown on smuggling had been intense recently. If he were caught and made an example of, no matter how capable his family was, he would still suffer greatly. Who would want to give back what they've already taken in? So he had the idea of putting his business out in the open. He never consulted anyone before doing things, but now that he had a girlfriend, he had to consider her feelings.
Dai Donglin pondered for a moment and said, "What do you think about opening an electronics store?"
