Chapter 122
Qin Xiang's laughter suddenly stopped. She still had classes tomorrow morning.
Mi Hongjun added, "But they said you need to use your ID card to order, and one ID card can only buy one set."
Qin Xiang thought about it. Mi Hongjun also went there to inquire about it in the past few days. Some shops have an area of 10 square meters, and some are more than 20 square meters. One square meter costs 1,500 yuan. If Qin Xiang wants to choose, he must choose a large one with a conspicuous location. However, it is not easy to choose. I heard that it is first come first served. But not all locations can be chosen casually. You have to draw lots, and whichever one you draw gets it.
"I have classes tomorrow morning."
Mi Hongjun said excitedly, "Don't worry. I plan to be there at 12:00 today, and I'll be the first in line. We're not short of people right now, so if there's a lot of buying, we can just call a few more people."
Qin Xiang thought for a moment and said, "We can't afford more, so let's just buy three. I think we'll have enough money. Then you, Brother Zhao, and my dad can go over there. We'll take whatever we get."
Qin Xiang handed Zhao Ping her ID card and said, "I don't think they'll be too strict over there. As long as the person who draws the lot is different, it will all be registered under my ID card."
Zhao Ping accepted it and said, "Okay."
The three of them discussed it again, and seeing that it was really running out of time, Qin Xiang hurried back to school.
After running back and forth every day for a few days, everyone in the dormitory has become accustomed to it.
Because of what happened that day, Bei Nannan completely broke with them and started hanging out with Fu Yunmei every day. She treated them like enemies, either looking at them coldly or mocking them.
The people in the dormitory didn't tolerate her bad habits and had a big fight with her. In short, they just stopped talking.
Qin Xiang thought it was fine this way, but it was a bit distasteful to watch.
When I got to school for class, the teacher hadn't come yet.
Bei Nannan snorted, "Speculation and profiteering."
Qin Xiang said in a cold voice, "Try to say it again?"
Bei Nannan said, "You are speculating and profiteering."
Her voice was quite loud, and many people looked towards Qin Xiang.
Ding Xiang and the others looked unhappy, "Bei Nan Nan, what are you doing?"
Bei Nannan said proudly, "Qin Xiang, aren't you just speculating and profiteering? You dare to do it but you don't dare to admit it?"
"There's nothing wrong with admitting it." Qin Xiang didn't take it seriously. She said calmly, "You're still a college student after all. Don't you usually read the newspaper? The country is vigorously developing the economy. I believe starting your own business will contribute to the country. I'm responding to the country's call. I'm doing business honestly, using a sign issued by the Industry and Commerce Bureau, and contributing to the country. The country doesn't even accuse me of speculation, yet you're here shouting about speculation. Bei Nannan, how long do you have your head wrapped in a piece of cloth to say such a thing?"
After she said that, Guan Yuping burst out laughing.
The other people in the class also realized that the two had a conflict, and Bei Nannan was looking for an excuse to attack Qin Xiang.
The school has just started and everyone is not very familiar with each other.
Qin Xiang is beautiful and has a good temper, and she has never been jealous of anyone.
I didn't expect that he was also good at speaking.
But what they said is right. The country is encouraging individual businesses. Why is Bei Nannan criticizing them here?
Seeing no one on her side, Bei Nannan snorted, "Good college students don't study hard, but just do these things."
"So what if I'm self-employed? I'm busy and happy. Every penny I spend is earned through my own hard work. Unlike you, who not only spends the family's money lavishly, but also always borrows money, or uses other people's things to get favors. In this respect, I really can't compare to you."
After she finished speaking, Bei Nannan's face turned pale, and soon turned red again, "Qin Xiang, you are going too far."
Qin Xiang laughed. "Who's bullying whom? Everyone can see clearly who started the fight first. You're the only one allowed to be so unreasonable and not let me talk back. You're really too proud."
After saying this, Bei Nannan's lips trembled. She was about to refute when the professor came in and she couldn't say anything more.
When the get out of class was over, Bei Nannan snorted and said, "You'll have to wait and see on the final exam."
Qin Xiang laughed and said, "It looks good."
To be honest, although Bei Nannan's character is not very good, he is a good student. There is no fool who can be admitted to Tsinghua University.
After leaving the classroom, Ding Xiang asked with concern, "Although her words may be unpleasant to the ear, you are so busy every day, can you take care of your studies?"
Qin Xiang rubbed his brows and said, "There's nothing I can do if I can't take care of it. I'll be fine after this period of time."
During the day, Qin Xiang is either in class or running around, so the only time she can use is at night.
She has to do the professor's homework in class and borrow reference books from the library. If she didn't have a good foundation and had studied well before, it would really be tiring.
At noon, she had already given the passbook to her father. After booking the shop and paying the deposit tomorrow, her father would go to withdraw the money and complete the remaining procedures.
As the boss, she couldn't help.
Because she was thinking about this matter, Qin Xiang had a rare insomnia at night.
I go to bed late, but wake up early in the morning and feel very excited.
As a roommate in the dormitory, I could clearly see Qin Xiang's condition.
Since Bei Nannan had already torn her face with them, it was naturally impossible for her to say anything to her anymore. After washing up, she snorted and went to find her big sister.
The remaining few looked at her strangely, "Are you excited today?"
Qin Xiang couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, "Did you see that?"
"Don't be so obvious." Meilin came over and said, "Tell us about it."
Qin Xiang whispered the story. Except for Guan Yuping, who had heard her mention it before, everyone else was shocked. Meilin covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming. "You want to buy the shops in the wholesale market?"
Qin Xiang nodded and said regretfully, "It's a pity that we have classes this morning, so I can't go over. Otherwise, I really want to go and see the situation on the scene."
She was not worried about Mi Hongjun and Zhao Ping queuing up, but she was worried about their luck. She hoped that everything would go smoothly for them.
After washing up, the three of them went to the cafeteria to eat, and then went to class. The class started at 8:30, but Qin Xiang had been nervous since around 7 o'clock. She kept looking at her watch, calculating how much time had passed.
At least the class started. Qin Xiang calmed her mind. It was the first class in the morning and ended at 10 o'clock. As soon as the get out of class was over, Qin Xiang said something and ran out quickly.
Guan Yuping said, "I'll go and see if I can help."
Everyone knew that she was from the capital, had a well-off family and many connections, so they asked her to go as soon as possible.
Bei Nannan gritted her teeth as she watched, "I wonder what shameful things you're doing."
Fu Yunmei smiled slightly and said, "Don't say that. Qin Xiang must have her own difficulties."
"What difficulties does she have? Businessmen are profit-oriented. She has taken her selfishness to the extreme."
Dingxiang and the others frowned when they heard this. Meilin couldn't help but say, "Bei Nannan, you're so shameless. Qin Xiang has always helped us. Stop gossiping behind her back. If you have the guts, say it to her face."
Several people were really fed up with Bei Nannan. They used to be able to read Qin Xiang's magazines, thinking it would broaden their horizons, but because of Bei Nannan, that was gone. They had to put up with Bei Nannan a lot these past few days.
When Bei Nannan saw that even the other girls were giving her a cold look, she immediately became unhappy. It was only until the squad leader came over and scolded her that she calmed down.
The monitor said to Bei Nannan, "Bei Nannan, you're still a temporary class leader. With this level of awareness, you don't want to be a class leader when the election comes in a few days?"
When the monitor reminded her, Bei Nannan was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. Yes, the class leaders would be re-elected soon.
If she had known this would become a critical moment, she would have just tolerated Qin Xiang. But now, she has offended five people at once, and there are only about thirty people in their class.
Fu Yunmei next to her said gently, "Nannan, don't worry. You are very responsible as the temporary league secretary. I will definitely choose you."
Bei Nannan was deeply moved when she heard this, "Yunmei, you are so good."
Fu Yunmei sighed, "I'm useless alone. Qin Xiang seems to have a lot of opinions about you. I heard that someone in the class wants to choose her."
"Why does she do that? She's just a profiteer." Bei Nannan snorted and gritted her teeth, looking at Qin Xiang with increasing displeasure.
Qin Xiang didn't care about Bei Nannan. Now her heart was racing towards the wholesale city.
After running out, Guan Yuping followed and said, "I'll go with you. If you need help, I'll find someone."
Qin Xiang originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she nodded and said, "Okay."
The two of them quickly headed towards the wholesale city, and it was indeed bustling there.
But the draw was already over.
There are only three floors in total, divided into shops. There are seventy or eighty shops on each floor, and there are more than two hundred shops on three floors. With so many people queuing up to draw lots, they were sold out long ago.
Some of those present at the scene now are regretting not coming earlier, while others have already determined where to patrol the territory.
The two searched for a while but couldn't find Mi Hongjun and Zhao Ping, so they didn't know whether they had successfully taken over the shop.
The two came out and saw Zhao Ping and the others coming out of an office. Seeing Qin Xiang, Mi Hongjun was happy, "Sister Xiangxiang."
Qin Xiang hurried over and asked, "How is it?"
This is a completely unnecessary question. Just look at the smiles on the faces of several people and you will know that the result is good.
Sure enough, Mi Hongjun raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "Of course, we've been lining up since 12 o'clock to submit a share."
Mi Hongjun took out three notes and said, "Here, these are three shops, but they haven't been transferred yet. I just signed the documents and we're waiting for you, the boss, to come and transfer the ownership."
Qin Xiang was also very excited, "Let's go."
Now looking at the shop number on the slip, Guan Yuping suddenly said, "I think I saw this one just now. It's on the first floor, at the corner as you enter."
"Really?" Qin Xiang was so busy looking for someone that she didn't notice it. She didn't expect Guan Yuping to look at it so carefully.
Qin Baotian on the side chuckled, and Mi Hongjun was amused, "This happened to be drawn by Uncle Qin."
Qin Baotian was happier than anyone else that his daughter could get a good position.
Mi Hongjun suggested, "How about we take a look at the positions of these three first?"
Qin Xiang also had the same idea. They had classes in the afternoon and it was only a little after ten o'clock, so time was running out.
So they went back to the wholesale market and found out from the code that two of the three upper bunk rooms were on the first floor, and the other one was on the second floor. The locations were all pretty good, especially the one on the first floor with the door facing the corner, which was really great. Many people were discussing which one had won the lottery while they were looking at it.
Qin Xiang was so happy that she almost announced it publicly.
But you have to be low-key. It costs a lot to buy three upper bunk beds at once. This one at the corner not only has a good location, but also has a large area of more than 20 square meters. The other one on the first floor is only a little smaller, otherwise Qin Xiang really can't come up with so much money at once.
Money is a good thing, and I still owe it to the bank.
After looking at the three shops, Qin Xiang was very satisfied and said to Mi Hongjun and Zhao Ping, "I'll give you red envelopes later."
Mi Hongjun chuckled, "Sister Xiangxiang, you are so nice."
Zhao Ping was not happy. "No need to give it to me. This is what I should do."
"That's different." Qin Xiang said, "I'm happy today, boss, so I like to give out red envelopes. Let's go pay first."
The money was held by Zhao Ping. Although he looked inconspicuous, in order to make himself look more intimidating, he released his restrained aura. Although it was already October and the weather was a bit cold, most people wore coats, but Zhao Ping was still wearing a vest, revealing his muscles. Almost no one dared to approach him.
I went to the wholesale market office with so much money, and there were quite a few people there paying and handling procedures.
As Qin Xiang and the others lined up, they realized there were many others operating in the same way. With the wholesale market's prime location and favorable policies, future business was sure to be strong. Many wealthy individuals had purchased several units, and whether they operated them themselves or rented them out, it was a sure-win business.
Qin Xiang had actually heard of this wholesale market in his previous life. It was just that it had been open for more than ten years, and then there was a new plan here. A new wholesale market was built somewhere else, and the owner of the property rights could make a lot of money by taking advantage of the demolition.
When it was Qin Xiang and his friends' turn, the staff were used to it. They collected the money and issued the receipt. Someone from the Housing Management Office was on site to work, and the title deed for the upper bunk was handed directly to Qin Xiang.
But before leaving, the staff at the wholesale mall also said, "Because the venue is large, our management office will need to hire people to clean and maintain order, so there will be some additional management fees every month. The government will subsidize part of it, and all merchants will contribute a little, but it probably won't be much. We're telling you this in advance."
Qin Xiang couldn't help but frown. This was something she hadn't mentioned before, but since no one else mentioned it, she didn't want to argue with them since she was unfamiliar with the place. She took the things and went back.
A few people came out and took another look at the upper bunk. This is an old building. From the time it was posted until now, they only installed a rolling shutter door and painted it with white putty, and nothing else was done.
Qin Xiang took a look and found that apart from the need to replace brighter light bulbs, the other problems were the shelves for displaying clothes and the storage of goods.
It is impossible to use such a large space to hang clothes all over. Moreover, Qin Xiang has not made any plans for the other two of the three storefronts to be honest. Anyway, the money has been paid, so he will take it one step at a time. Even if he just stores the clothes and waits for them to be demolished, he will not be compensated.
Looking at the bustling scene, Qin Xiang suddenly felt that it was time to add some variety.
She told Zhao Ping, "Leave the front room to my dad. Focus on this side. Hang clothes on the top wall of this corner room, pants on the bottom wall, and put cabinets at the bottom to store goods."
Although you are doing wholesale, you must at least take out samples for individual business owners to see, otherwise how can they know whether your clothes are good or not.
However, the goods she bought were all women's clothing and sportswear. Qin Xiang planned to wholesale sportswear and other student-oriented clothing in a separate shop on the first floor.
But not now.
Because of lack of people.
Zhao Ping and Mi Hongjun could work together, and Mi Hongjun could manage the store alone. But that wasn't realistic. Zhao Ping wasn't very good at business yet, so he needed to hire someone else.
It's already mid-October, it will be too late if we don't start now.
The problem is that we have just received the keys, so it will take several days to open the business.
The management office did say that the opening ceremony would be held in ten days.
But Qin Xiang felt it was a little late, and the goods were piled up in the courtyard and could not be exchanged for money, so Qin Xiang was very anxious.
He asked Zhao Ping and Mi Hongjun to quickly finish the shop at the corner and start trial operation in two days.
Don’t be afraid if no one comes. Buy a tricycle and set up a stand at the door to sell temporarily.
She is confident in her clothes and is not worried about not being able to sell them.
After Qin Xiang finished making the arrangements, she prepared to go back to school with Guan Yuping. Only then did she remember that she had been so busy with work that she hadn't even had lunch.
Guan Yuping had been following him for the entire morning, and Qin Xiang felt a bit embarrassed. "Come on, I'll treat you to dinner."
Guan Yuping didn't act pretentiously and followed her to a nearby restaurant, where they each had a bowl of ramen.
"You are really amazing." Guan Yuping has nothing but admiration for Qin Xiang.
She was already shocked by the amount of money they paid for the small courtyard, but she didn't expect them to buy the upper bunk instead. Such an upper bunk wouldn't be cheap. But Qin Xiang bought three without blinking an eye. She estimated that it would cost at least 100,000 yuan.
Qin Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I bought the shop with a loan. After buying the shop and stocking the goods, my pockets are cleaner than my face."
Guan Yuping was shocked, and after a while, she couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "You are really good."
Students like them couldn't even come up with a thousand yuan, let alone a hundred thousand. And yet Qin Xiang had already taken out a loan to buy a shop.
Guan Yuping didn't know how to express his admiration.
I finally understood why Qin Xiang was so anxious to get those two people to start the trial operation.
Lack of money.
Without money, she couldn't even run the third shop.
Without money, it is a problem to replenish the stock. Many garment factories are going downhill now, so many garment factories are not willing to sell on credit.
Without money, you can't move forward.
Although Qin Xiang was anxious, she wasn't panicking. Instead, she felt at ease. The shop had already been bought, so there was no point in being anxious. All she could do now was get ahead of everyone else and be the first to make a name for herself.
As long as the goods are shipped, the money will start to flow.
As for the loan money, there is no need to worry. The country's preferential policies are very good and there is almost no interest. It would be foolish to repay the loan at this time.
After dinner, the two returned to school for class, and several people in the dormitory gathered around to ask about the situation.
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "It went quite smoothly."
Several people breathed a sigh of relief.
Not far away, Bei Nannan gritted her teeth. Now everyone in the dormitory huddled together and didn't tell her anything.
Bei Nannan said to Fu Yunmei, "How about I move to your dormitory? I really can't stand staying in our dormitory for a day."
Hearing this, Fu Yunmei was shocked and said, "No."
"Why?" Bei Nannan was a little unhappy. "I had a falling out with them because of you, and as a result, I couldn't live in the dormitory anymore, and you still don't want me to go over? Fu Yunmei, what do you mean?"
This is a large class. In addition to their fashion design major, there are also people from other majors. Bei Nannan has never been a restrained person.
Wow, a lot of people looked over here.
