"I only sold them for 20 yuan a pair. I figured those things were too indecent and wouldn't sell well, so I sold them at a low price and made a little over 100 yuan. I was quite happy, thinking that selling clothes would at least make me some money! Who knew you made 20 pairs of pants from one pair! So, you make more money selling clothes than I do selling erotic magazines!"
In the era before involution, the first people to try something new were the ones who set the rules. They decided how to eat the crabs themselves, not because they were doing charity. They traveled all the way to Wenzhou to buy clothes wholesale and made a few dollars per piece.
This was the golden age when clothing profits were five times higher. Before the real estate boom, clothing profits were comparable to real estate and even higher than what Shen Zhuyu made selling her youth magazine. It's really not surprising.
"You still sell juvenile magazines?"
"After you told me, I went back and thought about it. I really couldn't take that risk. The next day, I went back to the market and bought some goods according to your list. Business was booming. In less than two days, I sold out of sunglasses, hair clips, skirts, and pants. I was quite happy, thinking I was some kind of sales genius! Turns out, it was because I set the prices too low!"
The low prices attract bargain hunters. She makes a few dollars a month on each dress, but people think it's too expensive and wish she would sell it at a loss.

Fortunately, she didn't ignore Chu Yu's words.
The cargo ship entered the port, and Chu Yu's goods also arrived.
The person who met with them was a young man wearing glasses named Ji Kai.
After Chu Yu and Shen Zhuyu finished checking the goods, they gave the money directly to Ji Kai, as instructed by Boss Chen in the telegram.
Ji Kai is a semi-business partner of Boss Chen, who is in the export tablecloth business. The two businesses do not overlap. This time, when Ji Kai went to the north to discuss cooperation, Boss Chen asked him to bring the goods.
Wenzhou businessmen have always been united. Boss Chen and Ji Kai have been friends for many years, so he's not afraid that Ji Kai will swallow this mere thousand yuan.
