Chapter 40
That’s right, Cui Lianhua fainted from anger.
Qin Xiang refused to admit that it had anything to do with her. She was now a woman who had to get a divorce.
The crowds at the fair were thronging and bustling. The first people to notice Cui Lianhua fainted were those who had gathered nearby. As for Cui Lianhua’s daughter-in-law, she was talking to other old ladies about how capable Qin Xiang was and how good her clothes were.
After someone shouted, Cai Hongyan looked up to see the excitement, but was startled. “Oh, my mother-in-law fainted.”
Qin Xiang glanced at her through the crowd and didn’t care. Of course, the more Cui Lianhua was in trouble, the happier she was.
Just as she was thinking, Cai Hongyan suddenly ran over, "Qin Xiang, what should we do? Mom fainted, what should we do?"
Qin Xiang laughed, "Just understand, that's your mother-in-law, it has nothing to do with me. If she fainted, just go and spend money to see a doctor. Why are you yelling at me? Can I cure her for you? Or do you expect me to spend money to treat your ex-mother-in-law? Do you think I'm a kind person?"
Hearing this, Cai Hongyan was stunned. She felt that what Qin Xiang said made sense. She was just panicked and ran back. She saw Yu Cuihua strangling her mother-in-law desperately. She asked hurriedly, "Aunt Yu, What are you doing? Qin Xiang said that my mother-in-law has to go to the hospital and spend money to see a doctor. "
Yu Cuihua snorted, "I tell you, your mother-in-law is actually suffering from red eye disease. She is jealous of Qin Xiang's money. It has nothing to do with her." Yu
Cuihua saw this point accurately. She and Cui Lianhua have known each other for many years, but it is not enough to say that their relationship is very good. At most, they are sisters made of clay, which can be broken at any time. Others think that Cui Lianhua is a good-tempered person, but she doesn't think so.
Yu Cuihua said to Cui Lianhua again, "Lianhua, you'd better wake up soon. If you don't wake up, your eldest daughter-in-law will take you to the hospital and spend money on medical treatment. Your family still has a lot of foreign debts."
"Will this work?" Cai Hongyan was extremely confused. Who said that someone who fainted could be cured by just saying a few words or pinching a few times? She saw it all. Aunt Yu not only pinched her Ren Zhong, but also reached in to pinch her mother-in-law's waist.
Yu Cuihua laughed twice, "We'll know if it works if we try. Let me tell you, the hospital is not a place people like us can go to. If you go there, you won't be able to get out without spending ten or eight yuan. If this is a serious illness, it might cost a hundred or eighty yuan. Your family has split up, so you two will have to pay for it."
Cai Hongyan widened her eyes, and for a moment she wanted to just throw her mother-in-law on the street. An old lady spent a hundred or eighty yuan on medical treatment, and it wouldn't be worth that much money even if she was sold.
As soon as the voice fell, Cui Lianhua, who had fainted, woke up faintly. Cai Hongyan was extremely excited. "Mom, you really woke up. You woke up just in time. If you don't wake up, you will have to go to the hospital and spend money."
Cui Lianhua thought to herself, how dare I not wake up? Yu Cuihua's hands are so painful, and my philtrum is burning.
She sat up straight and glanced at Qin Xiang. The small cart was full of people, which showed how good the business was. How much money this must make. It's a pity that it has nothing to do with the Wang family. Cui Lianhua was so distressed that she almost fainted again.
"Okay, wake up now. It's embarrassing for an old lady to sit on the ground." Yu Cuihua looked down on Cui Lianhua's appearance, and her eyelids almost turned up.
When Qin Xiang finished her work, she had disappeared. Qin Yang straightened up and asked, "Are you worried that they will come to trouble you?"
Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing, "Do you think they dare?"
Qin Yang also laughed.
Of course the Wang family didn't dare. Now the Wang family has lost face in the surrounding area. Some things are indeed not reported by the people and not investigated by the officials. Even if the cadres of Wangjiazhuang want to cover it up, they can't cover it up. It is certain that they will be embarrassed.
Of course, what the Wang family cares most about is Wang Junsheng's identity as a college student. As long as they care about this, they can be controlled by Qin Xiang, otherwise Qin Xiang will really go to the capital to make trouble. No one might believe what others say, but Qin Xiang still has the divorce agreement in her hand. At that time, Qin Xiang asked Wang Junsheng to write that the divorce was due to Wang Junsheng's infidelity.
So the Wang family would not take the initiative to provoke Qin Xiang unless they were stupid.
The Sunzu Market was larger than the Dazhuang Township Market yesterday, and there were more people. Qin Xiang and Qin Yang were busy until 3 o'clock when there were not many people. More than 300 pieces of clothing had been sold.
In just two days, more than 300 pairs of socks and underwear were sold. In short, the effect was good.
But don't say that the poor people in the countryside in the 1980s couldn't afford to buy things. The living standards are relative. The countryside in the 1980s is certainly not comparable to the countryside in the 21st century, but the countryside in the 1980s was many times better than the countryside in the 1970s and 1960s. They couldn't afford expensive things, but they could still afford clothes that cost ten or eight yuan. After all, they were consumables, and they were also worried that if they missed this store, they would be gone.
So when others asked Qin Xiang if she would come to the next big market, Qin Xiang just said that it was not certain, and she would not come after the goods were sold out.
This is marketing. The most basic marketing in later generations is still very effective in this era.
There are still some people in the market now, and Qin Xiang doesn't want to waste time here, so he calls Qin Yang to go back to the county quickly.
However, the Sunzu Township Market is not too far from Wangjiazhuang and Qinjiazhuang. Although the people from Qinjiatun come a little further, they still come. So after returning, the news spread.
Lian Fengying finally knew what Qin Xiang had done.
She never thought that Qin Xiang was actually a self-employed person. Isn't that an act of speculation?
Of course, Lian Fengying knew about this because someone told Tian Zhongmei, and Tian Zhongmei came to Lian Fengying again, "Mom, that's speculation. If we get caught, our Qin family will be labeled as capitalist."
It was also a coincidence that Qin Baotian was not at home these two days. Lian Fengying was at a loss all of a sudden, "What should we do?"
Tian Zhongmei sneered, "Mom, let me tell you, we are separated. Even if my younger sister is arrested, it has nothing to do with us. It doesn't matter if I get implicated, but what if Qin Jun is implicated? He is the pillar of the family."
Lian Fengying felt upset after hearing this, "Then... " But what can we do? "
Tanaka Mei thought of what her husband had said to her before she came, and said, "Mom, but I also asked around, maybe it's okay, I heard that many people are engaged in speculation. Or you can find my younger sister and let Qin Jun manage her money. In this way, even if she is arrested, at least the money will not be lost, and we are divided into two families, which is safer, don't you think?"
Lian Fengying was confused sometimes, and she thought it made sense, but shook her head, "No, Qin Xiang will definitely not be happy, and the second son is here, it's the same if the second son is in charge."
Tanaka Mei: "..."
Having a stupid mother-in-law is really terrible.
Qin Xiang had been prepared for this matter, but she didn't take it seriously.
After returning to the county with Qin Yang, Qin Xiang went to count the money. Only about thirty pieces of clothing were left out of the six hundred pieces of clothing. A total of 4,350 yuan was collected, and the net profit was 1,350 yuan, which was a huge profit in those days. As for the socks, it was just a small amount.
Qin Xiang took the money and called Qin Yang, "Third brother, we have to quickly remit money to Xiang Yanghong, and then ask them to bring the goods over."
Qin Yang hesitated, "There is also a time lag for remittance, and it may take several days for them to find someone to bring the goods."
Qin Xiang frowned and thought for a while and said directly, "Then why don't I just go to the transport team to rent a car and go there. How about it? This time the clothes sold for 4,350, plus socks for a total of just over 4,400. I plan to use all of it to import more than 800 pieces of clothes, so I can find a small car."
"But the transportation cost is a bit high."
Qin Xiang was helpless, and finally said, "Forget it, let's remit the money. It's just right for us to rest for a few days, and I will use these days to study."
"That's fine."
Before the end of work, the two hurried to the county post office to remit the money, and then called Deputy Director He of Xiangyanghong Clothing Factory.
Deputy Director He was still very surprised to hear Qin Xiang's voice, "Xiao Qin, have you sold all the 600 pieces of clothing?"
"Yes, Deputy Director He, I called you as soon as I sold them. I have already remitted the money. You must ship the goods to us as soon as you receive them." Qin Xiang was still dissatisfied with the profit of the clothing.
If it was the goods imported from Yangcheng, it could be sold at double the price in the market. Unfortunately, the economic development of Qingshui County is not good enough at present, so we can only clear the warehouse by selling high-quality and low-priced goods.
Of course, she also knew that this business could not last long, because her good business at the market was obvious to all. It was just that everyone was not so brave now. Once they saw someone making money, there would always be brave people who would follow suit and sell.
When Deputy Factory Director He heard this, he was immediately happy, "Okay, no problem, I will personally go to find Lao Feng to pick up the goods for you."
She calculated the speed at which Qin Xiang sold the goods, which was really terrible. It was only a few days after Qin Xiang went back, and the 600 pieces of clothing were sold out. Even if the few self-employed people they found in the sales department used Qin Xiang's method, they could not sell as much as Qin Xiang.
"Thank you very much, Deputy Director He." After finishing her business, Qin Xiang started to care about the factory again. "How is the factory's inventory selling?"
Hearing this, Deputy Director He couldn't help but smile bitterly. "It's not optimistic. Only the sales department went out to find some individual businesses in the town to sell some, and that's because everyone wanted them after hearing about your rush to sell clothes. As for gathering employees and their families to rush... Well, let's not talk about it."
In fact, she herself did some calculations. Not to mention far away places, there are many markets around Xiangyanghong Clothing Factory. If Qin Xiang's method is promoted, sales will definitely increase. Although I don't know how it will develop in the future, the current predicament can be solved. Unfortunately, it's useless for her to think alone and she can't turn the situation around.
As for the people in the sales department, it was because she led the team herself, otherwise the people below would have many opinions.
Qin Xiang knew the result after hearing this. There was nothing she could do about it. When a state-owned enterprise develops to a certain level, this is an inevitable result.
Deputy Director He sighed and said, "Xiao Qin, to be honest, you are one of my major customers. It's a pity that the factory is unwilling to pay the bill. I can only ship the goods to you after the payment is received."
Deputy Director He felt quite guilty about this. Although she didn't deal with Qin Xiang much, she really admired this girl and trusted her character. But the factory would rather believe some department stores than Qin Xiang, because they looked down on individual businesses.
Deputy Director He said that these old stubborn people in the factory are just stupid. What's wrong with individual businesses? Now the factory's shipments all depend on individual businesses. Those department stores can only carry so much goods.
Qin Xiang can understand Deputy Director He's thoughts, but he can't say much.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiang said to Qin Yang, "Third brother, we have to take advantage of this opportunity to make a quick buck and accumulate some capital to purchase goods in Guangzhou."
Qin Yang was stunned by her boldness. He didn't expect his sister to still be obsessed with going to Guangzhou.
He said it was not bad to rush together like this.
Qin Xiang explained to her third brother, and then said, "New styles of clothes are still easy to sell. If you can accurately position the market, the profit can be doubled. But it is estimated that it is difficult to sell such good clothes at a high price in the county. We can only go to the city or the provincial capital. We can only make a small amount of money if we are confined to the county."
She originally planned to open a door stall behind the house, but now it is too tiring to rush, and she suddenly doesn't want to open it. Take advantage of these few days to study hard.
After going back to count the remaining goods, Qin Xiang thought about sending some local specialties to Liu Minhua and keeping in touch with them.
Knowing her plan, Qin Yang took the matter over and sent Liu Minhua a batch of local specialties the next day.
As for Qin Xiang, she got up early to practice self-defense with Qin Xiang, and studied diligently after dinner. Even though she had the experience of accompanying her child to study, and she did well in the last exam at school, she still had to review carefully. Some knowledge was different, and she had to study carefully. Last year's college entrance examination mathematics was particularly difficult, and it would definitely not be easy this year. Qin Xiang usually doesn't have much time to study, so she must work hard when she has time.
It was not until noon that Qin Xiang took advantage of the break to call Liu Minhua.
When Liu Minhua received the call from Qin Xiang, she was quite surprised. She didn't expect Qin Xiang to call her instead of just talking. She thought of the pretty and serious girl and smiled, "How is it, are the socks selling well?"
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Not bad, I passed by Ningcheng when I came back and bought some of their stock clothes. Now I'm reselling them, so the socks and accessories have become incidental."
Liu Minhua knew how much profit these things made. Although she also wholesaled socks and other things, her main business was still clothing.
But she didn't expect Qin Xiang to dare to take over some of the stock clothes.
However, Liu Minhua did not ask her how to deal with it, and only said, "By the way, since you called me, I would like to ask you something. I have to go to Hangzhou to purchase the second batch of goods in a few days. Do you want to buy socks? I can send a train to ship them to you."
There is a direct train from Hangzhou to the provincial capital of Shandong Province, but Qin Xiang hesitated and still refused, "Forget it, I still have a lot of socks. I'll talk about it after I clear them out."
If it weren't for the clothes from Xiangyanghong Garment Factory, she would actually be quite satisfied to make thirty or forty yuan a day by selling socks, but who makes the profit from clothes? Even though the designs are not pretty, the quality is good. She can sell them at a low profit and in large quantities. The money she makes from selling one piece of clothing is enough to sell dozens of pairs of socks.
She is a self-employed person just to make money. If she can't make money, she won't bother.
After hanging up the phone and going back, she saw Qin Yang fiddling with socks and small accessories. When he saw her coming back, he said, "I have nothing to do anyway, so I'm going to set up a stall behind the house to try selling."
Qin Xiang knew that her third brother couldn't sit still, so she nodded, "Okay."
Seeing that Qin Yang was about to find something to smash the rusty lock, she called him, "Third brother, we will earn more and more in the future. Let's find some time to discuss the profit sharing."
Qin Yang laughed, "Forget it, just give me an extra ten or eight yuan based on the wages of the team. There's no point in making a profit. Without your brains, your third brother is nothing."
"No, third brother..."
Qin Yang interrupted her, "It's settled. If you don't agree, I'll just go back to work in the team. It doesn't matter who I work for, as long as I get the same salary as before."
Qin Xiang laughed angrily, "Then go."
Seeing her like this, Qin Yang simply ignored her and took a hatchet to smash the broken lock.
The back door was small and the wall was made of mud. When the door was opened, a layer of mud fell down.
Qin Yang cleaned it and prepared to get busy. Seeing Qin Xiang following closely and wanting to help, he waved his hand and said, "Go read your book."
Qin Xiang smiled, "Okay."
Qin Xiang went to study. During this time, Qin Yang seemed to go out and then came back to make some noises in the yard.
In the afternoon, Qin Xiang knew what Qin Yang was busy with. A simple shelf, covered with a bed sheet, was a ready-made sales counter.
"By the way, Third Brother, I remember Second Brother said that the county was going to set up a night market. Is it possible?"
Qin Yang shook his head. "I asked about it when I came back. No, there are too few people in the county at night. It's far worse than in the city. But our county has made some money from the fleet in recent years, so we plan to build a small market on Licheng Road. Individuals can rent stalls and sell anything. They can just gather there."
Qin Xiang regretted, "Forget it, let's just sell like this for now."
Of course, she didn't think that what she did was in vain. Starting a business is like this. You have to try more to know which way to go. When she bought these small accessories and socks and underwear, she didn't know that there would be such an opportunity on the way back. If she had thought of it earlier, she would definitely go straight to Ningcheng.
So people should be content. Anyway, they won't lose money if they sell them. Even if they can't be sold, it doesn't matter. At worst, they can keep them first and use them as a match for clothes after purchasing from Yangcheng. Maybe they can sell them at a high price.
On the third day after the money was collected, Deputy Director He of Xiangyanghong called her and told her that the payment had been received and the shipment had been arranged.
The goods came with the car coming to Linshi from there, so they had to go to the city to pick up the goods themselves.
Qin Xiang thought it was okay, and she could take this opportunity to go to the city to see the situation. If the city develops well, she will go to the city after saving enough money to pick up the goods in Yangcheng. If not, she will go directly to the provincial capital to find a place to sell clothes.
It takes about six hours to drive from Ningcheng to Linshi. After Deputy Director He called, the two were ready to set off. There are
three buses from the county to the city a day. When they caught the middle bus, they arrived there more than two hours before the agreed time.
Qin Xiang wanted to go shopping and let her third brother go to rest first. Qin Yang glanced at her and said, "Boss Qin, I'm working, can I not follow you?"
The brother and sister came out of the bus station and asked all the way to the city center.
Generally speaking, the development of the city is incomparable to that of the county, but there is also a big gap with Hangzhou and even some southern cities along the way. After
walking around for a while, Qin Xiang had no more thoughts. "Third brother, I want to go to the provincial capital when I have time."
Qin Yang no longer had any idea of persuading him. It should be said that when he boldly decided to resign, there was no turning back. He could only follow his sister, the boss.
"Okay, if you want to go, third brother will take you there. Anyway, it takes about the same time to go from our place to the provincial capital as it does to the city."
Qin Yang had been to the provincial capital before. He wanted to tell Qin Xiang about it, but then he thought that most of the places he went to were factories in the suburbs, so it would be useless to tell him, so he stopped talking
. The two of them went to a factory here to pick up the goods on time, and in Qingshui County, Lian Fengying finally sneaked into the city under the persuasion of Tanaka Mei and Qin Jun.
Of course, Qin Baotian didn't know about this.
Lian Fengying has lived in the countryside all her life, working in the fields all her life. The farthest she has been is to the town. This is her first time in the county. She
is shocked, scared, and terrified.
She was shocked when she saw the two-story department stores in the county town, and she felt like she saw a monster when she saw someone wearing high heels on the street.
So this is the county town. But
what should she say after finding Qin Xiang?
