The older sister was very satisfied with the look of the suit. This style was not even available in department stores, and it was obviously an imported high-end product. She wanted to buy a pleated skirt to match it, but Chu Yu did not recommend it. Instead, she suggested that Chu Yu buy a pair of high-waisted skinny jeans to raise the waistline and lengthen the leg proportions when paired with leather shoes.
While wide-leg pants are currently in vogue and can make legs look longer, pairing them with a long blazer is a disaster. At this age, women need neat and sophisticated outfits, not just throwing on any clothes they can find.
"Where can I find the skinny jeans you're talking about? No clothing store in all of Deyang has anything as stylish as yours."
What the older sister said was true. Deyang's geographical location is neither north nor south, but its culture and customs are more northern. Being far from major clothing wholesale bases like Wenzhou and Guangzhou means that it is a step behind in terms of fashion trends.
The most fashionable clothes in Deyang are all in the department store, but the people in charge of purchasing goods in the department store are all middle-aged people from the system. They are afraid of fashion and regard trends as a scourge. They don't even dare to buy a red dress, let alone anything else.
Where can I find trousers to match this suit?
When Chu Yu went to Wenzhou last time, she only bought a few styles of autumn clothes, not many pants. Now that she has a shop, the scale of her purchases is incomparable to that of a street stall. She will definitely go to Guangzhou after autumn.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm going to the factory to pick up some goods in a few days. If you need them, I can bring back a few fashionable pants."
The eldest sister was overjoyed. Money has to be spent eventually. The suits she used to buy at the department store for seventy or eighty yuan were not only outdated in style, but also had no sense of design whatsoever.
For the same price, you could buy something much better, and the stall owner was still so polite. It would be a lie for the woman to say she wasn't happy.
She was satisfied with herself and wanted her sisters who came with her to be satisfied as well. Several of them also took a liking to Chu Yu's suit and gave their eldest sister a wink, telling her to go and bargain.
My eldest sister is also a very open and honest person.
"Young man, I've also signed up for your 'Find Emily' event. I brought four sisters with me, so I get a 20 yuan commission, right? We five sisters can split it equally, which means each of us gets 4 yuan less."
Chu Yu nodded and said:
"Those who sign up for the event will receive a 5 yuan commission on their own purchase of a suit. If five of you place an order together, the commission will be 25 yuan."
Finding Emily not only transforms salespeople into customers, but also encourages customers to bring in more people to join the group purchase. Group buying is cheaper, and the more you buy, the more you get back, thus stimulating purchases.
Chu Yu offered to give her an extra 5 yuan commission, so how could the older sister be dissatisfied?
Chu Yu received 175 yuan. The tablecloth cost 4 yuan per meter, and one meter of cloth could make a suit. Even with the production cost, it was less than 7 yuan per suit. Chu Yu made a profit of 140 yuan from this order. Even if he split it equally with Ji Kai, he would still have a profit of 70 yuan.
The key point is that she didn't take a single penny of capital.
There is no risk if they don't sell. The sales team only launched one campaign, without spending any money or effort, and made money while lying down.
The eldest sister had just left when Fangfang and several regular customers arrived. A few days ago, it rained, and Chuyu hadn't set up her stall, so they had accumulated over a dozen pieces of clothing, which they were now picking up. Fangfang was the top seller among the customers, having sold 12 pieces of clothing in just a few days. She was beautiful and a walking clothes hanger.
If Chu Yu could recruit her, give her some pointers on color matching, and send her to Hong Kong to broaden her horizons, he might just be able to train her into a formidable general.
"Comrade Fang, you have the highest sales volume among all the customers. Have you ever thought about what you would do if you won the championship in finding Emily?"
Fang Fang was slightly taken aback. What should she do? Her original intention was just to wear two fashionable clothes. She never thought about actually working for a self-employed individual, and she didn't think that Chu Yu's offer of a monthly salary of 100 yuan was real.
Fang Fang only earns a little over 20 yuan a month at the factory, while female workers in the market earn only a little over 10 yuan a month. Chu Yu is not mentally ill, so how could he possibly pay such high wages?
In the late 1980s, many state-owned factories suffered from poor performance due to the impact of the market economy, leading to a large-scale wave of layoffs in the 1990s. However, these were things that people today could not have foreseen. Fang Fang had a salary, housing provided by her employer, and retirement benefits at the factory. For such a regular employee to leave the factory and start a business would not be considered running a business; it would simply be working for someone else.
How could they possibly agree to that?
But some things still need to be said.
"If you become the champion in finding Emily, I will keep my promise. As long as you complete the sales target, you will receive a monthly salary of 100 yuan, bonuses on holidays, year-end bonuses, 4 days off per month, and 5 days of paid leave per year."
Fang Fang's eyes widened. Four days off a month? Isn't that just like a state-owned enterprise? And there's paid leave and stuff like that. This boss is really generous.
Fang Fang would be lying if she said she wasn't tempted, but the social status of self-employed individuals is low and can't be compared to that of employees. If her family knew that she had quit her job to work for a self-employed individual, they would definitely scold her.
Fang Fang did not give a definite answer, but Chu Yu was not in a hurry. Recruiting people also depends on fate; it's not something that can be solved by simply conscripting men.
Chu Yu took some time to visit the building materials market. The building materials market in Deyang didn't have much innovation, but it could still solve problems with flooring, ceilings, walls, and shelves. The only problem was that the styles couldn't compare to those of high-end women's clothing stores. Chu Yu was also looking for solutions.
She got blisters on her lips from running around the market and missed several days of school. Mao Xia was also depressed for a few days.
After Chu Yu threw her schoolbag at her last time, she went home and cried her heart out. Zhou Fangchun, who hadn't been able to conceive a son, doted on her only daughter and was quite worried. When she asked why, she learned that Mao Xia had provoked Chu Yu and had been retaliated against.
“I just opened a window. It’s not like it’s her window. It’s her own business if her books get wet. Why should she throw my backpack at me?”
