For the storefront issue, we still need to contact Chen Baifu. Chu Yu hasn't been to Baode Button Factory for a long time, so this matter can only be handled by Shu Aiguo.
Shu Aiguo naturally didn't say anything else and promised to make the trip for her the next day and get it done.
"If Section Chief Chen asks me what place I like, how should I answer?" Shu Aiguo asked.
Chu Yu naturally set her sights on the row of storefronts next to the department store. It was just one street west of Shujia Roujiamo. The street had a good flow of people, and the roadside was lined with three-story buildings. There was a shoe store and a general store, and three storefronts in the middle were empty.
The department store is in a prime location, and the house has been vacant for a long time. Chu Yu was also afraid that there might be disputes over the property rights of the house, so he did not dare to have too much hope and only asked Shu Aiguo to inquire first.
Shu Aiguo was speechless. Those storefronts were quite impressive. If he were to rent them, there would be three floors, with four rooms on the first floor alone. How many clothes could he hang there? Individual business owners usually only rent one storefront, but Chu Yu wanted four!
If this store really opens, Shu Aiguo will have to walk with his head held high in Deyang!
Shu Aiguo made a trip to Baode Button Factory. Chen Baifu is now familiar with him, not only because of the friendship built over a bottle of Moutai, but also because Shu Aiguo treated him to a drink!
Shu Aiguo didn't know anyone in Deyang. Occasionally, when he felt the urge to drink, he would invite Chen Baifu to dinner. They not only drank together but also built a friendship.
When he asked, Chen Baifu never refused.
"I'll go back and ask my wife, and have her go to the housing management office to find out what's going on with that house." Chen Baifu didn't give a definitive answer. He had heard about that storefront; the property rights were clear, but the family's situation was complicated, and he didn't know if they would be willing to rent it.
The coats, sweaters, and brocade cotton-padded jackets that Chu Yu brought in last time haven't even started selling yet, but the pleated skirts and flared pants are almost all sold out. The pleated skirts, in particular, are undoubtedly a national bestseller, making Chu Yu realize what it's like to live off a single piece of clothing.
Last time she took a total of 7,000 yuan worth of goods, and now she has received more than 10,000 yuan in payment. If all goes well, once this batch of autumn clothes is sold out, even without counting the income from the suits, she will have nearly 20,000 yuan in savings.
The hardest part is going from having no money to having money, but it's much easier to go from having money to having even more money.
It seems like only yesterday that Chu Yu made her fortune selling luminous sand in Shanguan Village, but now her pockets are stuffed with cash, and she walks with more confidence than when she first arrived. Who says money is a man's face? Women need money even more to boost their self-esteem. Once she has enough funds, in addition to her clothing business, Chu Yu plans to expand her fabric business as planned.
Fabric, a true national business, has a larger market and more insane profits than clothing, which is what Chu Yu can't forget.
Chu Yu sent a telegram to Shen Zhuyu, inviting her to Guangzhou next month. Shen Zhuyu replied quickly, naturally agreeing, and also inquired about the success of Chu Yu's suit sales.
Was it going smoothly? Of the more than two thousand suits, only a few dozen were sold, but Chu Yu wasn't worried at all.
What's there to worry about?
If she manages to organize the search for Emily well, won't all the registered participants have to buy a suit to sell to others? If each person brings in one customer, she only needs a thousand people to register to complete the task. If each person brings in three or five people, she can reach her goal in just a few days.
In the past two days, quite a few people have brought their friends to see the suits. One person brings ten, ten bring a hundred, a hundred bring a thousand, and Chu Yu's suits are selling faster and faster.
While Chu Yu was selling autumn clothes, Dai Qinxue was also taking Xu Yiyi to a department store in Beijing to buy autumn clothes.
She bought five items at once, carrying home a 700-yuan autumn outfit without batting an eye. Even the sales clerk looked at her with respect, serving her with utmost deference, and subtly inquired, "You're quite the big spender. Judging by your demeanor, you must be very wealthy."
Dai Qinxue smiled without saying a word.
When Zhou Jian'an saw how many clothes she bought, his temples throbbed. This woman was too extravagant, spending hundreds of yuan at a time. If Shu Hui dared to spend so much money, Zhou Jian'an would definitely beat her up! But he didn't dare to beat Dai Qinxue. The Dai family was powerful and influential. As a daughter of the Dai family, what was a few hundred yuan to spend on clothes?
Zhou Jian'an ingratiatingly massaged her shoulders.
"Qinxue, what did your father say? Now that things have come to this, when do you plan to take me back to your home for a formal visit?"
Dai Qinxue's eyes sparkled, and she quickly grasped his hand and smiled:
“Jian’an, I’ll go home tomorrow and ask my father what he thinks. But as you know, he’s testing you. He probably wants you to achieve something and prove that you’re capable of being his son-in-law before he’ll formally invite you to come to his house.”
Zhou Jian'an was born in a rural area, and his ancestors were all farmers. Neither his family background nor his birth was worthy of Dai Qinxue's noble status. It is not hard to understand why Dai Qinxue's father wanted to test him.
"Qinxue, you must put in a good word for me with my father."
"Don't worry, Jian'an. My dad listens to me the most, and I'll make sure he takes good care of you. You're the son-in-law of the Dai family, so you need to do well at work and make sure no one finds fault with you, so that your father can rest assured."
Dai Qinxue's gentle tone made Zhou Jian'an feel comfortable.
Zhou Jian'an was not valued in his workplace. He was nearly forty years old when he graduated from university, so how could he compare to young people in their early twenties? His learning ability was not as good as the young people's, and his physical fitness was not as good either. Among the new batch of college graduates, he was the only one without a family background.
The leaders have never paid him any attention.
Zhou Jian'an then subtly revealed Dai Qinxue's identity at work. Knowing when to stop, he didn't say much, only that he was accompanying his wife back to her parents' home and saw the guards changing shifts in the compound.
