Goddess Pearl
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the lights in dormitory 302 were still brightly on.
Although it was time to go to bed, the four people in the dormitory still kept their eyes open, picking pearls under the artificial light. They had no intention of going to bed and were still gritting their teeth and fighting.
Zhang Yezi has always been a person with the most regular lifestyle. Generally speaking, unless there are special circumstances, Zhang Yezi will go to bed when the lights are turned off at 10:30, and then get up early the next morning to wake up his three roommates at 7 o'clock on time.
It's like this every day, over and over again, with no changes.
But now, even though Zhang Yezi's upper eyelids were fighting with her lower eyelids and she could hardly open her eyes, and she was yawning all the time, she had no intention of going to sleep.
"Ha-ah--" Zhang Yezi yawned again, tears welling up from the corners of her eyes. She reached out her hand to wipe them away.
“Ha—ah—”
“Ha—ah—”
It is said that yawning is contagious. After being infected by Zhang Yezi, Jian Jianan and the other two started yawning immediately.
After a while, Jian Jianan wiped away the tears from his eyes and complained to Zhang Yezi, "Head of the dormitory! It's all your fault that your yawns infected me!"
Zhang Yezi struggled to open her eyes. "There's nothing I can do. My body clock should have told me to go to bed by now. It's just telling me it's time to go to bed!"
Jian Jianan thought it made sense, so he just shut up.
The four of them worked late into the night, not to study or do other important things, but to take apart the beads.
"Tear them apart and sort and grade them!"
These nine words are the advice Jian Jianan gave to everyone.
Jian Jianan still looked calm and composed, as if nothing could disturb her heart.
She glanced at her three roommates, all of whom were suddenly terrified at the bad news, and said calmly, "Everyone, don't panic, don't rush. Take your time to think about a final solution. Once you panic, it's easy to make mistakes. Don't let that happen."
"Now that things have happened, it's best for us to sit down and think about how to remedy the situation."
"Xiaoya, don't think about the cause of the accident for now. I'll review it with you later. The most urgent thing now is to sell these pearl necklaces."
Upon hearing Jian Jianan's words, Zhang Yezi exclaimed, "Sell them? How are we supposed to sell them? There are scratches on the surface of these pearls, and not just one or two, but very obvious deep scratches. Anyone with eyes can tell what's going on. It's impossible for us to cover it up and sell it as intact!"
Besides, they can’t live with their conscience by doing such unethical things to deceive consumers!
Jian Jianan's eyes widened slightly, "Of course I didn't mean that! Why do you all think of me like this!"
Ding Ran smiled awkwardly, but it wasn't entirely her fault. It was mainly because Jian Jianan's usual money-obsessed look really made him look like someone who would do such a thing.
Jian Jianan said: "These pearl necklaces are of such high quality, so expensive, and cost so much, they must be sold. As for how to sell them, that is a problem."
After hearing what Jian Jianan said, the girls immediately started discussing it.
"Yes! We must sell it! Otherwise, we won't be able to afford the loss!"
"But...but there are too many rotten ones. How can I sell them?"
Jian Jianan walked around the public desk for a while. All the necklace boxes were open, and strings of celestial beads were scattered on them. Even though there were a few scratches on the surface, they could not completely conceal their dazzling brilliance.
This makes people imagine, if they were intact, how many times more beautiful would they be than they are now?
Jian Jianan had heard Chen Muya's introduction. The birth of every pearl was hard-won, and it was even more difficult to produce one at the celestial level.
This type of pearl, produced from the Mars pearl oyster, takes nearly three years to grow! It is truly the "little light bulb" of the pearl world, and only the highest-grade, flawless pearls can be crowned with the title of "celestial maiden."
Often, among thousands of Ma's oysters, workers cannot even find enough beads to make a complete pearl necklace.
Thinking of this, Jian Jianan couldn't help but understand why Chen Muya cried just now. Mingzhu was damaged, and he wouldn't be much better off if it were him.
Even Jian Jianan, who seemed to be the calmest at the moment, couldn't help but feel heartbroken, as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
She forced herself to look away from the damaged pearls.
My brain was working at full speed. Since a complete necklace and bracelet could not be sold publicly on the market, I had to think of other ways.
For example, dismantling and selling?
"That's right, we're selling them in pieces. Although most of a pearl necklace is damaged, it's impossible to sell the necklace, but a necklace has at least fifty pearls, half of which are bad and half are good!"
"Let's take all the necklaces and bracelets apart, put the good ones in one place, and the ones with scratches and damage in the other, and then determine the prices based on the categories. Isn't that enough?!"
The more Jian Jianan spoke, the more he felt that this method was feasible, and his tone couldn't help but have a hint of urgency, wanting to convince the companions in front of him.
Chen Muya had stopped crying as soon as Jian Jianan opened her mouth. Now she raised her head and stared at her blankly.
"Tear it down and sell it... If we tear it apart, how can we sell it?"
Jian Jianan wanted Chen Muya to get out of her sad mood and get back to business as soon as possible.
Now, upon hearing Chen Muya's question, she gently guided him, "What can a single pearl be used for? Isn't this something you, Xiaoya, know best? Your family is in this business, so why not give us some suggestions slowly?"
When Chen Muya heard the call for help, she immediately forgot that she was sad just now and immediately devoted herself to the problem.
"Well, what can you do with one pearl? You can still make a pearl necklace! But you can only hang a single pearl. But this way you can add some other metals as embellishments, so it won't be monotonous."
"Let me think about something else. Oh, right! Pearl rings are also very beautiful! The silver setting is very suitable, and the individual pearls are not too exaggerated. Plus, our pearls are of such a good overall size, they will attract everyone's attention as soon as they are taken out!"
"And pearl earrings! I remember my mom and my aunt both loved pearl earrings. A single pearl hanging from an earring would sway with the slightest movement of your body, which was so eye-catching!"
Jian Jianan turned to look at the stunned Zhang Yezi and Ding Ran, spreading his hands and gesturing, "Right? Look, a single pearl necklace can have so many uses! Stop looking down on me!"
Jian Jianan’s suggestion was to break the complete pearl necklace into individual pearls and sell them one by one.
Everyone's eyes fell on those intact pearl necklaces, and they all looked at them with regret and reluctance. This was such a waste of such precious materials!
But everyone knew clearly in their hearts that what Jian Jianan said was indeed the best way. It was the most suitable remedy at the moment after suffering huge losses, so this was the only way.
Everyone looked at Chen Muya, with concerned inquiries in their eyes.
Chen Muya gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to Nannan and we'll tear them apart and sell them! This is the only way. I don't believe that such good pearls will be completely wasted on my hands. I must maximize their value!"
This is the whole story of why the four people in dormitory 302 are working late into the night.
The four of them first carefully took all the pearl necklaces out of the box, and then cut them open with the special tools provided by Chen Muya. They checked each pearl one by one under the desk lamp, and they looked so cautious that they were extremely stiff.
They did as Jian Jianan said, and put the pearls that were carefully selected and made sure to be without scratches into one box, and those with scratches into another box.
This is not the end yet. Chen Muya is also responsible for the second selection. That is to say, these defective pearls cannot be sold directly to the outside world. Chen Muya still has to carefully select them one by one with a flashlight.
Take out the pearls that have scratches but can be inlaid with other metals so that they cannot be seen after production is completed and put them in a small box. These can be processed by experienced craftsmen and then sold again. Although it is a bit troublesome, at least any profit can be made, so there is no need to worry about the loss being irrecoverable.
What remains is that there are too many scratches on the pearl. No matter how the inlay is designed, there is no way to cover them up.
Chen Muya clenched her teeth while sorting the things out, worried that she would burst into tears if she opened her mouth.
Wow!
Woo woo woo!
This is all money! It’s all pure money!
Only when you manage the household do you know how expensive food and fuel are. Since starting his own business, Chen Muya has truly understood what a money-eating beast is. He has been spending money since the first second he opened his eyes, even in his dreams.
Now looking at these celestial pearls that could have been sold at a high price but now can only be thrown into a small box with the words "to be determined" written on it, Chen Muya is in tears!
Jian Jianan has the best mentality among the four.
She even found the mood to hum a little tune and joke with everyone, "Comrades, let's work harder! Victory is just around the corner. Look, the pearl necklaces we've disassembled are piled up all over the table. I just counted, at least thirty have been sorted out, and there are only a dozen left. Success is within reach, but comrades still need to work harder! Come on, everyone!"
Ding Ran sighed, "My parents would never have imagined that they sent their daughter to university to study hard, spending hundreds of dollars in tuition each year, only to find out that their daughter would end up working as a seamstress in college!"
Now she is taking the pearls off the chain bit by bit and sorting them into categories. Isn't that like a female worker doing handicraft?
Zhang Yezi joked, "That's good! At least we're not doing farm work now, we're doing manual labor! You don't know where we come from, but if our children grow up and don't have to work in the fields, it would be a blessing for our ancestors."
Zhang Yezi clicked his tongue a few times, "I wonder if Mom and Dad know about the smoke coming out of our ancestral grave."
Chen Muya burst out laughing, "Hahaha!"
Finally, I feel much better.
"Hurry up and put away your magical powers! People who don't know would think you're performing crosstalk!"
Jian Jianan gave everyone a wink. It seemed that Xiaoya had recovered. That was good!
Chen Muya was laughing and joking with her companions while picking the pearls in her hand. She didn't know what she was thinking about, but suddenly she sighed.
"Maybe I'm really not suited to doing business." The voice became smaller and smaller, until finally, it was almost inaudible.
She let out a long sigh. "Alas, this accident happened because I trusted my so-called acquaintance too much. Uncle promised to deliver these pearls intact, and I foolishly believed him without even signing a contract with him. Also, I didn't open the goods for inspection when I picked them up, and only discovered they were damaged when I got back to the dormitory. This is also my fault!"
At this point, Chen Muya became indignant. "Now that I think about it, these things were actually foreshadowed. For example, as soon as I saw that car coming, I felt something was wrong! We spent so much time on the road, dragging the original three-day journey into two weeks. When we first met, the driver got out of the car and spoke very frantically, but he didn't expect me to come in person, so he was startled and looked very panicked. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid they knew that the pearls they sent there were already damaged!"
"They really are targeting people they know! And it's very likely that the pearls weren't damaged on the way, but were already damaged before I handed them over to them and they even shipped them here!"
Jian Jianan nodded, agreeing very much with Chen Muya's speculation, "I think so too. Maybe they are delaying the delivery to buy time so that you won't find the damage. They are trying to hide this matter in every possible way!"
Chen Muya was in a bad mood. Although she stopped crying, she obviously hadn't recovered from the fact that she had been cheated.
Seeing her like this, Jian Jianan couldn't help but smile. "Xiaoya, you always say that you're not suited to business, but I think you're quite suitable! Otherwise, who could come to their senses in such a quick review? Isn't the reason you summarized quite well? Next time you encounter a similar problem, you won't have to worry about falling into the same trap again."
Jian Jianan's praise of Chen Muya made her feel a little better.
She rolled her eyes, and asked curiously, "By the way, Nannan, have you ever encountered a problem like mine? I mean, have you ever made mistakes in business like I am now?"
Before Jian Jianan could answer, Chen Muya said, "No, no, no, I don't mean to pry into your privacy or gloat over your misfortune. I'm just, just curious!" She just wanted to know how Jian Jianan developed her current composure. Was she so flawless from the beginning, or did she make a few small mistakes like herself?
Jian Jianan chuckled when he heard her question, "Hahaha, so that's what you're curious about! Let me tell you, when I first started getting into these things, I was just like you are now. No, I should say I was even worse off than you are now!"
"Ah? How come?"
After these words were spoken, not only Chen Muya became curious, but even Zhang Yezi and Ding Ran couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen carefully.
"Let me tell you one thing. My father runs a clothing store and sells clothes! When the factory was first built, there was a lot of work and it was very busy, but there was not enough manpower. During that time, my father pulled me over to work as an assistant."
"One time, a major customer placed a large order, and my sister asked me to help enter the data. I don't know what happened, maybe it was because I studied too late the day before and was dizzy, or maybe it was because there were too many things to do that day and I was always busy. When I was registering the production order, I made a mistake in the data and moved every decimal point in a row of data to the back one place."
"Ah? How could this happen?"
Everyone was surprised.
"Yeah, I also want to know how this could happen." Jian Jianan shrugged helplessly, obviously not understanding why he would make such a simple mistake.
"In short, the consequence of this mistake is that the sleeves of all the clothes produced based on this data are much too long. Such defective clothes are obviously impossible to sell on the market."
Jian Jianan let out a long sigh.
"And then, what happened next?"
Chen Muya was just hearing the exciting part and asked quickly.
Jian Jianan smiled carefreely, not feeling the slightest bit embarrassed about exposing his wounds, and said directly: "As for the rest, of course I paid for the losses out of my own pocket!"
"That's over three thousand dollars! If the sister who checked behind me hadn't been more careful and caught the mistake in time, I might have had to spend another five figures to compensate for the loss!"
Jian Jianan stretched out his finger and made a "5" gesture, which made everyone tremble with fear.
Zhang Yezi, whose eyelids were about to close, suddenly became much more alert when he heard this scary number.
"Wow! So much money!"
Jian Jianan nodded seriously: "That's right! All the pocket money I saved with great difficulty is gone just by going out like this!"
Zhang Yezi couldn't help but ask, "Ah, how could this happen, Nannan? Isn't this your family property? If that's the case, even if you made a small mistake, your parents shouldn't treat you like this. Because it's really just a small mistake, there's really no need to do this. After all, your family property will still be yours when you grow up, right? There's really no need to ask you to pay for it like this."
Jian Jianan waved her hands, thanking the dorm leader for his kindness in speaking up for her. She said righteously, "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. If you do something wrong, you must accept the punishment. This is a truth that every one of us learned when we were young. It doesn't make sense for me, now that I'm an adult, to find excuses to avoid punishment."
Her expression couldn't be more serious. "Even if that's my father, he's wrong, and he must be punished. We don't look at the process, we only look at the results. I was the one who caused such a large loss, so as the culprit, I must take responsibility and make up for it."
Zhang Yezi nodded, not quite understanding. Although she still disagreed a little, it did not prevent her from expressing her admiration for Jian Jianan's spirit.
Ding Ran shook his head. "Oh, oh, it seems like being an heir is really too hard. Although sometimes I envy you when I see you so relaxed and happy, not having to worry about making a living, but now that you say that, I don't have any envy at all. If being an heir means I have to bear so much pressure, then it's better for me not to be one!"
The four girls immediately burst into laughter. Jian Jianan said with a smile, "Yes, yes. Everyone has their own aspirations. In this world, becoming a company heir isn't the only way forward. All roads lead to Rome. As long as everyone finds the path they like and walks on it with determination, isn't that all that matters?"
The other three people all agreed with what he said. Although each of them had different growth experiences and had never experienced what Jian Jianan had experienced, it was just as Jian Jianan said. As long as they chose their own path and walked on it firmly, wouldn't that be enough?
As Chen Muya listened, she gradually felt more at ease. She had to say that Jian Jianan was really a master of public speaking. After she finished speaking, everyone started picking up pearls and sorting them into categories step by step. Even Chen Muya, whose emotions were fluctuating violently, stopped wasting time and focused on following her words.
Chen Muya now even had the energy to joke, "Nannan, do you think business is always this unstable? Risks big and small may appear around us any day, it's impossible to guard against them at all!"
Jian Jianan nodded and agreed with Chen Muya's statement, "That's indeed the case."
Then she asked, "But aren't there risks in other things you do? We have the risk of failing exams, the risk of learning the wrong things. In short, as long as you live in this world, you will encounter all kinds of dangers, some preventable and some not, and they vary greatly, and you have no way of knowing in advance. Isn't that the truth?"
Chen Muya thought about it and nodded: "You are right, that's the truth."
God knows how desperate she was when she saw those pearls with scratches on the surface that obviously could no longer be put on the market. She was even prepared to kowtow and apologize to Jian Jianan and others. She gave them so much hope at the beginning, but now she has to tell them that she has messed up. Chen Muya can imagine how disappointed they will be with her toes.
But her roommates were all such nice people that they didn't blame Chen Muya too much for her mistake. Even though each of them was yawning and studying late into the night, they didn't complain much.
Chen Muya lowered her head and forced the tears back into her eyes.
She thought about how her boyfriend Chen Xin called her this afternoon the second she received the news. Couples in love always have a lot to talk about, and they were no exception. Chen Mengya was so flustered that she told her boyfriend the news. Who could have known that Chen Xin's first words were not to comfort her or offer a solution, but to directly accuse her: "You are not suitable for doing these things at all!"
Chen Xin said, "I told you when you were little that you're not suited for this kind of thing, and there's no need for you to do it! Just listen to me! You just stay home from now on, and I'll help you with anything. Look at you this time, you messed up a small matter like shipping goods. If you want to do other things in the future, won't you still..."
Although Chen Xin didn't finish his words, Chen Muya knew what he was going to say. Wasn't he going to continue saying that Chen Muya had no ability to start a company and do business?
Jian Jianan turned his head to glance at Chen Muya. She was obviously immersed in her own thoughts, with a frown on her face, indicating that she was thinking intensely. Jian Jianan did not disturb her and considerately left her some time to think. Then Jian Jianan chuckled softly.
Who says people are always the same? Even the most obtuse clam shell will eventually open up on its own when cracked. Just like the clam shell, so too did Chen Muya.
Therefore, Jian Jianan still holds a very optimistic attitude towards Chen Muya's future life path.
The four girls turned a disaster into a blessing, and turned this occasion, which should have been sad, into a scene where they could chat together, talk about everything, and have a rare heart-to-heart talk.
"Hahahaha! You really put it vividly."
"Yeah, yeah, you think so too, right?"
When the sky was about to brighten and the intricate pearl necklaces on the table were almost cleared away, Jian Jianan stretched out his arms and yawned loudly, "Hmm, I didn't realize it's almost dawn yet. Time flies!"
"Yeah, yeah, it's already daytime in the blink of an eye. Time flies so fast!"
"Let's not talk about this." Jian Jianan saw that the pearl picking work was mostly done, and she felt relieved. She turned her head and looked at Zhang Yezi, "Head of the dorm, if I remember correctly, you have an early morning class today, right? Elective courses are also very important, you can't forget them."
After hearing what Jian Jianan said, Zhang Yezi slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, I have classes today! If you hadn't mentioned it, Nan Nan, I would have forgotten it!"
Jian Jianan found it amusing; he was so engrossed in dividing the pearls that he forgot about himself. She pushed Zhang Ye's arm and said, "In that case, dorm leader, you should go to bed quickly. You have class at 8 o'clock tomorrow, and even if you don't eat breakfast, you'll have to get up at 7:30 at the latest to make it. I see you're so tired that you can't even open your eyes. Go to bed quickly. The three of us can handle the finishing work."
The other three people also advised, "Yes, yes, you can go to sleep without worry, we are here. When you come back from class tomorrow, you will see a restored dormitory desk!"
After hearing what her thoughtful roommate said, Zhang Yezi knew there was no reason to refuse. She smiled and crawled onto the bed. "Okay, okay, if that's the case, I'll go to sleep first. You guys should focus on the remaining finishing work. Thank you for your hard work."
"No problem, leave it all to us!" Chen Muya patted her chest and made the promise. She was now concentrating on making meritorious contributions while at the same time guilty, so this was the best time to speak.
When Zhang Yezi was sleeping, Chen Muya couldn't rest yet. Chen Mengya still had an important task on her shoulders, which was to take these sorted pearl necklaces to the jewelry factory to find a setting master for secondary processing.
Pearls without surface scratches can be restrung into pearl necklaces or pearl bracelets.
For pearls that have scratches but the scratches are not obvious, the craftsman can inlay some other metals on them to cover them up and make them into individual pearl jewelry.
As for the pearls with more severe damage and obvious scratches, Chen Muya had no intention of wasting them. Earlier, she had heard from her family that there was a kind of jewelry in the West called baroque pearls. This was a combination of various irregular pearls and precious metals such as gold and silver. When the finished product was finished, gold would be inlaid on the surface, like a golden dress. When Chen Muya thought about this technique now, her eyes lit up. Isn't this what they need most now?
Therefore, Chen Muya needs to find a master as soon as possible to take these remedial measures.
Originally, she wanted to stay up all night and wait on the first floor of the dormitory. The moment the dormitory manager got up and opened the door, she would rush out to look for someone. In the end, it was Jian Jianan who persuaded her to come down and have a good rest.
"After all, you need to conserve your energy. Only when you are in good spirits, Xiaoya, can you do other things. You can't neglect one thing while focusing on another!"
In this way, Chen Muya was persuaded by Jian Jianan to have a good rest in the dormitory, and decided to find a master to do the inlay work the next day.
The news that a large number of Tiannv Pearls will arrive at the Baozhu Store has been released. Not only are the relevant personnel on campus waiting, but many people outside the school are also looking forward to it. They all want to see the true appearance of Tiannv Pearls.
However, after waiting for a long time, this batch of Tiannv Pearls that were supposed to have arrived long ago still did not appear in the Baozhu Shop, and many people complained about this.
Yan Wenxin's team has been paying attention to all the big and small movements in the Baozhu Shop, so naturally they also know about the matters related to the Tiannv Pearl.
Their team was still discussing the possible reasons why the Heavenly Maiden Pearl had not arrived yet. Some said that the dispute arose because of personnel discord, others said that it was because they were too greedy and not cautious in doing business at such a young age, and still others said that they were only a few years old and it was normal for them to make some small mistakes.
All in all, Yan Wenxin and the other three felt that this was a good opportunity to strike a blow against Jian Jianan's entrepreneurial project. Just when these four people made up their minds to teach their 302 a lesson, unexpectedly, the situation suddenly reversed.
The next day, the Heavenly Pearl arrived!
These expensive pearls arrived without much fanfare, but were quietly put on the shelves. They were discovered first by students who had been keeping an eye on the Pearl Shop and walked around the store every day.
Needless to say, when everyone found out that Tiannv was already on the shelves, the number of customers in Baozhu Store reached a small peak again, which was even more grand than the first day of opening. Jian Jianan and the other four dressed up and were determined to win back this game.
"Let me tell you, not all pearls can be called celestial pearls. To become a celestial pearl, it is very strict. At least it must meet the following conditions. Not to mention the perfect circle and large diameter, let me tell you something that you may not know. Have you noticed that every celestial pearl is very bright?" Jian Jianan talked freely.
"Oh, that's true. I wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't told me." The customer opposite Jianan took the pearl ring on her hand and looked at it. She held it up to the light source and kept changing the angle. She found that it was just as Jianan said. The luster of this batch of Tiannv pearls was very obvious.
Just looking at her expression, she casually said, "So, I think Tiannv Pearls are more suitable for individual jewelry than ordinary pearls. For example, pearl earrings, pearl necklaces, and pearl rings. Look at the earrings I'm wearing today. When I walk around, they sway. People on the other side can even see them from eight miles away. It's very obvious."
Hearing this, the woman looked at Jian Jianan's ear and found that there was an earring hanging there. The earring floated up and down as Jian Jianan shook his head while speaking, which was very conspicuous.
The woman's companion also whispered, "What she said is true. When I stood at the door and looked inside today, the most eye-catching thing was not the other decorations in the store, but the pearl jewelry they were wearing. I really saw it at first sight!"
When buying jewelry, you want something unique and to make a splash. As soon as these words came out, any hesitation they had left was gone.
However, these girls who were from the same university as Jian Jianan still had one last concern. She asked hesitantly, "How much is this? Aren't Tiannv Pearls very expensive? If it's really beyond my budget, I can't afford it."
Upon hearing this, Jian Jianan's smile didn't fade at all, and even widened a bit. "Don't worry about that. We specifically separated it for this reason. While celestial pearls are certainly valuable, their rarity makes them quite expensive. A necklace of forty or fifty celestial pearls would sell for several thousand yuan, but if we separate them and make them into individual earrings and rings, it won't cost that much."
After receiving Jian Jianan's assurance, the girl and her companion immediately breathed a sigh of relief, clutching their chests. That wasn't all. Jian Jianan then said leisurely, "Take, for example, the pearl earrings you just saw, ma'am. A pair of two is ninety yuan in total."
She turned to look at the girl's companion. "And that pearl ring you like so much? It's sixty dollars, inlaid with silver. The certificate is in the box. How about two?"
Upon hearing this, the two girls looked at each other, their eyes expressing the same two words, "Buy it!"
After Jian Jianan succeeded in this business, she didn't plan to continue working as a salesperson. She had more important things to do.
Chen Muya squeezed next to him and said excitedly, "Nannan, our Tiannu pearls are almost sold out. The intact pearls have almost all been sold. The inferior pearls with scratches have also been sold after processing. The remaining ones are the scratched pearls that have been inlaid to cover them. But there are not many left. I believe we will sell them all in a few days."
They divided pearls into three grades, and the prices were naturally divided into three levels. There was no such thing as "passing off inferior goods as good ones".
Jian Jianan was a little surprised. "Oh, how could this happen? I thought the lowest-priced pearls would be sold out first, but now it's the highest-priced and best-quality Tiannv Pearls that are sold out first. It seems everyone is very discerning about the quality of the products. We can't underestimate the discerning taste of consumers."
This really fills the theoretical knowledge in her book. It is said that under normal circumstances, the sales volume of goods will increase as the price of goods decreases, but in some special categories, the opposite is often true.
Chen Muya could only nod continuously beside Jian Jianan. Now Chen Muya really followed Jian Jianan's lead, and whatever she said was the truth.
"Thanks to that idea you came up with! Breaking it down into three grades is why it's selling so well!"
Jian Jianan has never been a short-sighted person. When most of the damaged Tiannv pearls brought by Chen Muya were almost sold, Jian Jianan decided to take advantage of this hot pearl craze and continue selling pearl products.
Since the Heavenly Maiden Pearl is gone, what about the other pearls?
Jian Jianan made a prompt decision and immediately asked Chen Muya to find other sources of pearls. Chen Muya lived up to everyone's expectations and brought the millet pearls from home.
Although millet beads are much smaller than celestial maiden beads, they are cheap. They are affordable now and you can buy a pearl necklace for just over ten yuan. The cost is low, so the profit is high!
Chen Muya learned her lesson. During the transportation of the goods, she kept an eye on the transportation situation and even changed the transportation company to one that was no longer run by an acquaintance.
Only then did he bring this batch of millet beads to school in perfect condition.
When they saw this batch of full millet beads shiningly appear, the 3024 girls all breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other, their eyes full of relief.
I really don’t want to relive the scene of working late into the night to make handicrafts!
Zhang Ye Zi felt that it took her a week to fully recover after that night. She was really getting older and was no longer as strong as she was when she was younger!
Thinking of this, she looked at Jian Jianan next to her with a little jealousy. Hey, how come Nannan stayed up late with everyone and still got up so early the next day? She was still so energetic and full of vigor, without even a hint of fatigue or yawning.
Jian Jianan did not notice the look from her dormitory leader. She was completely focused on selling this batch of freshwater pearls.
Taking advantage of the recent pearl craze, this batch of freshwater pearls sold very well. Chen Muya was even praised by her parents. A large number of unsold pearls in the family were consumed through this stall.
Jian Jianan told Chen Muya, "Look, pearls are very popular now, so we will sell them. However, this trend has a time limit, and we can't sell pearls endlessly."
"I understand, I understand." Chen Muya replied, "I won't take any more goods after this batch is sold out."
Jian Jianan nodded, and the next second she heard Chen Muya ask, "By the way, Nannan, we performed so well, the mid-term results summary will definitely pass, right?"
Jian Jianan smiled confidently, "Of course!"
