Chapter 127
It would be strange if Qin Xiang wasn't interested, so she quickly asked, "What good stuff is it?"
Guan Zhibin smiled and said, "A batch of the latest leather jackets from Hong Kong City."
Hearing the word leather jacket, Qin Xiang frowned slightly. "It's very cold in the capital in winter. Wearing a leather jacket is like asking for death."
"That's not the case," Guan Zhibin laughed. "A tweed coat, for example, isn't very warm in winter, but the sales volume is still high every year. Why? Because they look good and give you a sense of style. You can wear a cotton coat or a tweed coat underneath. The same goes for leather jackets; you can wear them indoors without the coat. A lot of young disco-goers love them these days."
After hearing his explanation, Qin Xiang pondered it for a moment and felt it made sense. However, she didn't want to take any chances. This thing definitely wouldn't be cheap. At this time, the leather jackets were genuine leather jackets. She nodded and said, "Okay, send me fifty of them when you ship them."
As for the items that sell well or not, they're not worried about the low quantity. If they don't sell out, they can sell them next year. Thinking that winter is about to arrive in the capital, Qin Xiang asked about the ski jackets and jackets. Guan Zhibin said, "Yes, we've got them all for you. The jackets are much more padded this time than before. How many do you want?"
How many pieces? Of course, the more the better, but she didn't have enough money at the moment, so it was useless to want more. Before all the goods were converted into cash, she would be short of money.
While Qin Xiang was pondering, Guan Zhibin seemed to have guessed that she was having financial difficulties, so he said, "I discussed it with my cousin. Since your credit is good, the final payment of the goods can be delivered a month later."
Qin Xiang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said happily, "Brother Guan, I don't know how to express my gratitude. I really don't have enough funds. As you know, I just acquired three shops and I'm worried about the supply of goods."
I really didn’t expect that Guan Zhibin could be so awesome.
Guan Zhibin smiled and said, "We also benefit from each other. The more goods you take, the more commission I get. This is all as it should be. Some of the new goods you originally requested have arrived in the factory. This time I have selected the good ones and put them up for you. Also, my cousin asked when you will provide two more design drafts."
Qin Xiang laughed and said, "I'll send out the design draft in the next few days."
Of course, she couldn't give it continuously. She planned to give two tickets every month, which she thought was already a lot.
After talking with Guan Zhibin about the quantity of some other goods, Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and hurried back to school. Every day was really tiring.
I am not idle even after returning to school. I have to calculate the costs and quantities, and make the payment tomorrow.
I had just put it in my pocket and now I have to take it all out again. To be honest, it’s a bit of a pain in the ass. But there’s no other way, I have to spend it.
It seems that another shop should be opened.
As for the second floor, Qin Xiang wanted to just do the bedding, curtains and other miscellaneous things. When the time comes, she will have to find someone to be responsible for it. The men's clothing will be placed together with the student uniforms.
He was lying on the bed when the dormitory door opened. Qin Xiang thought it was someone else in the dormitory, so she lay there without moving.
But it seemed that there was only one person who came, standing quietly beside her bed.
Qin Xiang sensed something was wrong and was startled when she opened her eyes, only to see Bei Nannan's half-smile on her face.
"Bei Nannan, are you sick?" Qin Xiang was so annoyed with Bei Nannan. Why was she like a dog-skin plaster?
Bei Nannan sarcastically said, "I have to say you're really amazing. You're a top student from Tsinghua University, a big boss, and now here comes Instructor He. You're really quite charming."
Qin Xiang ignored her, sat up and pointed at the door, "Get out, this is not your dormitory."
Bei Nannan snorted, "I'll be back sooner or later, Qin Xiang, I really don't know what you're so proud of. Isn't it just your face? You're really amazing for spreading your legs for so many men."
After she finished speaking, Qin Xiang got off the bed, grabbed her collar and slapped Bei Nannan in the face. Bei Nannan screamed, "How dare you hit me?"
Qin Xiang gritted her teeth with a cold face, "If you curse, I'll slap you. Your mouth stinks like you've eaten shit. Don't you brush your teeth before going out in the morning? Didn't your mother teach you to keep your mouth shut when you go out?"
She has always been clear in her conscience when doing things. Where did this mad dog come from? He actually used these trivial things to attack her. He must be sick.
Bei Nannan was a little confused by Qin Xiang's beating, and her face flushed. "What's wrong with what I said? And you let Instructor He threaten my cousin. Bah, shameless."
"You have shame." Qin Xiang slapped him again, symmetrically on both sides, "Swear again."
Bei Nannan is not stupid. She is not very good at fighting. She turned around and left, "I won't let you go."
Qin Xiang just wanted to roll her eyes at her.
Bei Nannan left, and Qin Xiang's thoughts were disrupted. She was annoyed just thinking about it. What kind of person is this?
After a while, the others in the dormitory returned. Qin Xiang didn't say anything and just went about her business. But she knew this matter wouldn't be over so quickly. Bei Nannan must have known about it because Na Qiang had told her. The two of them were like rats in the gutter. Even if there was no danger, it was still annoying.
Early the next morning, Qin Xiang went to the bank to transfer money to Guan Zhihong before class, and then hurried back to class.
Halfway through, she saw a familiar figure. She didn't dare to recognize him at first, but when the person turned around, their eyes met.
Good guy, Wang Junsheng.
The capital is so big, it's really a hell of a surprise to run into Wang Junsheng.
Qin Xiang didn't even look at him and walked away quickly. Wang Junsheng looked at Qin Xiang in a daze for a moment, and then felt lonely again.
Qin Xiang still blamed him.
Wang Junsheng hung his head and sighed.
After a while, his eyes turned disgusted again.
Cui Hong came out of a store and handed over the food, "Junsheng, eat first."
Wang Junsheng brought over breakfast, feeling even more depressed. It was all because of Cui Hong. Why did Cui Hong still haunt him? It was a pity that she hadn't been sentenced in the provincial capital. It was really a relief for Cui Hong.
Cui Hong didn't know what he was thinking. She pursed her lips and said, "Junsheng, don't worry. I'm sure I'll find a job soon. I heard that many shops in the wholesale city are recruiting sales clerks. I plan to give it a try."
While speaking, Cui Hong lifted her hair and put it behind her ears. She was very confident. After all, she was good-looking and gentle, and now she had learned Mandarin, so it shouldn't be that difficult.
Wang Junsheng was upset because of his encounter with Qin Xiang. "Whatever you want."
He is already a senior in college, and if there is nothing else he can do, he can only go back to his hometown. The best place in his hometown is the provincial capital. Unfortunately, he has completely offended Huang Yuqin, so it depends on luck where he can be assigned to.
He had never doubted God's favor in the past, but it seemed that this was no longer the case since last year. Bad luck kept happening one after another.
And the one who brought him bad luck was the lowly woman Cui Hong.
She followed him shamelessly, her skin was thicker than a city wall.
Seeing that he was unhappy, Cui Hong stopped talking and asked, "Will you come with me?"
It was a rare opportunity without classes, so how could Cui Hong not make good use of it? She said softly, "I'm doing this for the good of our lives. If I make some money, we can live a more comfortable life, right?"
If life wasn't so difficult, Cui Hong wouldn't want to go out to work.
She wants to be the wife of the richest man, so it would be too degrading for her to work outside.
Just thinking about the dream, Qin Xiang seemed to go out to work and support the family. At that time, Wang Junsheng seemed to feel particularly distressed about Qin Xiang because of this. Since Qin Xiang can do it, then she can do it too.
Wang Junsheng was in a bad mood, but he also knew Cui Hong's temper, so he nodded casually in agreement.
The two walked towards the wholesale market, and Cui Hong affectionately held Wang Junsheng's arm.
Early in the morning, there were a lot of people in the wholesale market, and Wang Junsheng was very envious.
Cui Hong took him through the gate, and when he looked up he saw a familiar person.
Not to mention Qin Dong, there are Liu Xiaocao and Mao Yuxiang, all of whom are from Qinjiatun, so why are they all here?
Cui Hong's expression changed, as if she had thought of something. Wang Junsheng said impatiently, "Let's go."
Cui Hong pursed her lips and walked inside. Wang Junsheng also saw Mi Hongjun. He had seen Mi Hongjun when he was in the provincial capital. Why did he see him here?
Wang Junsheng was puzzled, thinking he had seen it wrong. He rubbed his eyes and looked over again. It was indeed Mi Hongjun who was talking and smiling with the customers, and judging by the location... Was this their shop?
He knew that Mi Hongjun was Qin Xiang's employee, so did this shop belong to Mi Hongjun or Qin Xiang?
He was filled with shock. Opening a store in the provincial capital was nothing special, but this was the capital. He heard that all the shops here were sold, not rented out. How could Qin Xiang have so much money to buy one?
Cui Hong noticed his change and felt a little flustered. She pulled his arm and said, "Junsheng, let's go."
Wang Junsheng was dragged away in a daze and was accidentally bumped by someone.
"Junsheng, I believe one day you will be more powerful than her." Cui Hong looked at Wang Junsheng and said, "I believe you will accomplish great things and become the richest man in Shandong Province and a nationally renowned entrepreneur."
Unfortunately, Wang Junsheng couldn't hear anything and had only one thought in his mind.
If it weren't for the divorce, all this would belong to him and Qin Xiang.
But because of Cui Hong, they were all gone.
Wang Junsheng looked at Cui Hong's pretentious appearance and was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped her, "Bitch."
There were a lot of people in the wholesale city, and after this slap, everyone around seemed to pause and looked towards the two of them.
Cui Hong was also stunned. She didn't expect Wang Junsheng to suddenly hit her in public, and she screamed.
"He hit someone."
Someone shouted, and quickly two young men came over and held Wang Junsheng down.
Mi Hongjun heard the noise and looked over. Qin Dong next to him said, "Hey, isn't that Cui Hong?"
Cui Hong!
Good job.
Mi Hongjun knew this name very well. Wasn't she his sister Qin Xiang's former good friend, the woman who stole her ex-husband?
The two of them actually came to the wholesale city.
Mi Hongjun whispered something in Qin Dong's ear, and Qin Dong's eyes lit up. "Xiaomi, you are really bad."
"That's nothing." Mi Hongjun narrowed his eyes and said, "Go quickly."
Donald Qin came out from behind the counter and exclaimed, "Hey, isn't this Sister Cui Hong and Brother Junsheng? Why are you here?"
Many people were condemning Wang Junsheng, and the two young men also wanted to take Wang Junsheng to the management office, but unexpectedly Qin Dong came out.
After Qin Dong came out, he asked curiously, "Why are you here? Ah, I know, Wang Junsheng, you didn't steal someone again and got caught, did you?"
Looking at Cui Hong, "Hey, Sister Cui Hong, you are here too, is it you who is cheating on me or is it Wang Junsheng who is cheating on me?"
Wang Junsheng blushed, "Who are you? Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm talking nonsense?" Qin Dong laughed, "Have you never stolen anyone?"
Cui Hong's eyes turned red. "Don Qin, stop slandering me."
"Really? Really?" Donald Qin said with a grin, "How about we go directly to Wang Junsheng's school and confront him?"
There was no way to confront this matter, and even Wang Junsheng didn't dare to make a big deal out of it.
The two young men hesitated, "Should we take this away?"
Donald Qin smiled and said, "Comrade, they are a couple. They finally got together by having an affair. How could they have a conflict? This is all a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding."
Upon hearing this, the surroundings suddenly became lively and everyone asked what was going on.
Of course, Donald Qin couldn't say it was Qin Xiang's business. He just said vaguely, "These two, one cheated on his wife, and the other cheated on his friend. They were caught on New Year's Eve..."
The people around immediately started to make noise.
Wang Junsheng didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing just because he accompanied Cui Hong to find a job. His face turned red immediately and he pulled Cui Hong away.
Donald Qin shouted from behind, "I heard your mother is paralyzed after she did something wrong. Wang Junsheng, you are a filial son. You must go back and be filial to your mother. Your family is looking for you."
The people around were not satisfied after seeing the two of them run away, and they all asked Qin Dong what happened.
Of course, Donald Qin couldn't say anything. He waved his hand and said, "No more. It's a scandal."
Then he went back behind the counter and refused to say a word.
Wang Junsheng's reputation is ruined, but Qin Xiangjie's is not. If these people knew about it, they would probably point fingers at her behind her back. It would be fine if they disgusted Wang Junsheng and embarrassed them.
In fact, Qin Dong wanted to discuss going to Wang Junsheng's school with Mi Hongjun to post a big-character poster about Wang Junsheng, but was persuaded by Mi Hongjun, "Wang Junsheng is embarrassing, but the boss is also in the capital. It would be bad if it affects her. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Let him jump around for now."
When Qin Xiang came at noon, Mi Hongjun mentioned this matter and asked Qin Xiang to pay attention to it.
Qin Xiang didn't care. "I saw it this morning. Ignore them and let them consume their internal energy."
Being caught cheating on New Year's Eve is the shame of Wang Junsheng's life. Cui Hong is in front of him every day. How can Wang Junsheng not hate her to the core?
It's good for the two of them to be together, but they must be tied up.
Seeing that she didn't care, Mi Hongjun didn't say anything more and talked about the inventory again.
Wholesale is different from retail, and wholesale shipments are faster.
Except for the first few days when the flow of people was particularly large, the flow of people was relatively stable at other times. Gradually, they also accumulated some old customers, and the daily income tended to be stable. However, it was almost never less than □□,000 yuan a day. Although the profit was a bit lower, it was still more than 3,000 yuan, which was something that could not be expected when opening a store.
After checking the situation here, Qin Xiang went to take a look at another shop on the first floor. The cabinets and shelves inside had been set up and neatly arranged. When the next batch of goods arrived, Qin Xiang planned to let Mi Hongjun and his men guard here.
The shops are all mine, so I can just open them slowly.
When I came out, I ran into Na Qiang who was strolling around.
I heard from Mi Hongjun that Na Qiang is also a capable person. Although he has two shops here, he also has two shops in a wholesale city in another part of the capital. It seems that he has some connections, and he purchases goods from factories around the capital.
The shops all have hired people to look after them, and as the boss, he strolls around the wholesale city every day.
Qin Xiang didn't have a good impression of this person, and she also remembered what He Chenghua said, that it would be a good idea to stay away from this person.
However, she tried to hide, but the other party came forward, "Hey, isn't this Boss Qin? Why are you here today? Oh, right, I forgot, Boss Qin is still a college student. College students nowadays are amazing. They come out to compete with us gangsters for a living. It's really amazing."
Na Qiang spoke in a sarcastic tone with a local accent, which attracted the attention of people in the wholesale city.
Qin Xiang didn't want to talk to him much, and only said lightly, "College students have to make a living too. The government has said that it encourages self-employment. As talents cultivated by the country, college students naturally have to follow the policy and contribute to society."
After saying that, she went straight to her shop. Na Qiang stared at Qin Xiang with a serious look.
There were a few people who envied Qin Xiang's business and deliberately said to Na Qiang, "Don't be angry, boss. It's because he has the ability to be arrogant. He can't compare with others in terms of business."
These days, as long as you work hard, even a small business can make a lot of money. Even if business isn't going well for wholesalers like them, they're still much better off than ordinary shop owners. But comparisons are frustrating, and envy and jealousy are inevitable.
Na Qiang stared at Qin Xiang gloomily and said, "You're right. I'm really capable. If I find a good backer and spread my legs, I'll have everything."
Several men understood and laughed.
Qin Xiang didn't hear it. When they arrived at the shop, Mi Hongjun said worriedly, "That Na Qiang is quite popular in the wholesale market. He's always on friendly terms with people."
Qin Xiang frowned. "Don't worry about them. Let's do our own thing. If you have time, go around more often and get familiar with the route to the police station. If there's anything, we can go find the police. We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either."
This is their weakness. Na Qiang is a local tyrant in the capital. They have just arrived and have no connections. Their business is good, so they are easily targeted.
Mi Hongjun nodded, "By the way, should we find another reliable person to come over?"
Qin Xiang thought it was okay, "I'll talk to your brother Zhao and ask him to come look for them. He must have a lot of retired comrades."
Now it is a peaceful time, and after experiencing disarmament, many soldiers have been forced to retire.
When Zhao Ping returned from delivering the goods, Qin Xiang told him about the matter. Zhao Ping pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, there's one in Hebei Province. It seems to be in Xianghe, more than two hours' drive from here. I'll find time to go there and ask him if he's willing."
Qin Xiang nodded. "Okay, he must be a trustworthy person. The salary and benefits will be the same as yours. When the time comes, you can help him and I'll give you an extra bonus."
Zhao Ping laughed and said, "No need. It's all my duty. I should be the one thanking you for providing him with a job."
After saying this, Qin Xiang went to the storefront again. Qin Baotian had already brought people to apply cement to the exterior wall of the house.
In addition to applying cement inside, you also have to scrape white putty, which is a delicate job.
Qin Baotian said, "We can probably finish the outside today, but the inside will probably take two or three days. I hope it won't delay your work."
Qin Xiang shook her head. "It's not too late. It's already her place anyway. At worst, we can do it next year."
There's no point in being anxious, her father is already urging her to hurry up.
The containers and other things needed inside have been prepared. The putty in the two large rooms of the storefront has dried and the shelves have been put in place.
It’s just that the weather is cold, and Qin Xiang is worried that the workers will be cold.
Qin Baotian said, "We'll be done with this. When the time comes, let them go back. Earning money is always hard work."
Qin Xiang nodded and said, "I'll pay for it, and you and Xiaomi can go buy some New Year's goods for them to take back."
"Okay." Knowing that his daughter didn't need the money and wanted to establish a good relationship, Qin Baotian certainly wouldn't hold his child back.
A few days later, the goods that Guan Zhibin ordered for her arrived. Zhao Ping pulled the goods into the courtyard, and another shop on the first floor also began to stock the goods in preparation for opening.
Of course, Qin Xiang did not forget to advertise on her own door, stating the styles of products she sells and the shop address.
The business had been open for more than 20 days and was gradually getting on track. Tan Xiu finally recruited three salespeople, two women and one man. One had work experience, and the other two were junior high school graduates who had worked as temporary workers in the factory for two years. Because the factory business was down and wages could not be paid, they left to find other ways out.
Tan Xiu said that these three people are very smart and will not be any different if they are trained well.
Qin Xiang taught her this, "Maybe when I open a factory in the future you will be in charge of recruiting people."
Tan Xiu smiled and said, "I will definitely follow and work hard."
Without Qin Xiang, she wouldn't have the good life she has today, living in a guesthouse every day. Who else could have such treatment?
Zhao Ping took the time to call over his comrade-in-arms, a young man in his twenties who joined the army at the age of 18 and served for six years. After retiring, he did odd jobs in the local town.
Qin Xiang met him and found him to be very energetic. More importantly, his muscles were well-developed, and he looked very imposing when he glared. Qin Xiang was very satisfied, and he and Zhao Ping each took charge of a shop.
Na Qiang greeted Qin Xiang with his hands behind his back, "Boss Qin is really amazing. Not only does he have military officers as his backers, but even the people he hired to look after the door are all martial artists."
The words were really harsh, mocking Li Zhiguo for being a doorman. Qin Xiang smiled and said, "I'm not as capable as the boss."
"Boss Qin is still more powerful." The man said with a forced smile.
Qin Xiang nodded, "The boss is even more powerful."
Na Qiang said again, "Why haven't I seen Captain He come here recently?"
Qin Xiang raised her eyelids. "He's an officer, how can he be here every day? If there's anything, just call me. Why does he need to come here every day? Don't you agree?"
"What you said makes sense." Na Qiang said and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Qin Xiang really wanted to spit in his face.
At the same time, she couldn't help feeling depressed. She had still waved He Chenghua's banner, and now she couldn't pay it back.
Sometimes people just can't help but think about something. When Qin Xiang came to the wholesale city on the weekend morning, she saw He Chenghua coming and smoking and chatting with Na Qiang outside.
It was already cold at this time, and He Chenghua rarely took off his military uniform. This time he wore jeans and a leather jacket.
It’s just that the style of this dress looks familiar.
The jeans are okay as there are many stores selling them, but the style of the leather jacket is too familiar.
