Xiao Jing bought a house, and Fang Qiao also used the money she had left to buy a bungalow in the suburbs.
She bought a house in a remote area, so it's quite large, with three spacious rooms and a big yard.
She plans to rent it out first, and then rebuild it after a few years. By then, she should have more money to spare, which will allow her to build a few more floors.
As the population of Beijing increases, the first thing outsiders need to solve when they arrive in Beijing is their accommodation. At that time, she will definitely not have trouble renting out her house.
By 1990, the year 2000, Beijing will once again become a massive construction site. Almost all the suburbs outside the Second Ring Road will be demolished one after another, and the compensation based on the square footage will be substantial. At that time, you can buy a dozen or more houses and shops, and the rental income alone will be more than enough to cover your expenses. You'll never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life.
As long as the children don't go astray, squander their money, or gamble or use drugs, their lives are secure.
Fang Qiao spent the best year since her rebirth, filled with beautiful wishes for the future.
That year, ration coupons were no longer needed to buy meat, vegetables, or other goods. In addition, many individual vendors in the market brought in a lot of rare items from other places.
There is mutton and beef from the northern grasslands, raisins and nuts from the northwest, rare fruits from the south, and sea fish and various seafood from the deep sea.
Of course, the price is also very expensive.
However, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for Fang Qiao now. Although he earned a lot in the past year, he also worked very hard. He should reward himself during the New Year. Therefore, Fang Qiao is very generous. If he hesitates for even a second when paying for anything he wants to eat or want, it would be disrespectful to his hard work in the past year.
Fang Qiao not only bought things for herself, but also spent a lot of money to wholesale daily necessities and bought two slaughtered sheep as New Year's benefits for her employees.
On the day of the holiday, Fang Qiao settled the wages of the employees and also distributed these New Year's benefits.
The employees not only received money, but also daily necessities such as towels, water cups, and washbasins. Each person also received two kilograms of mutton. When they went home, everyone was beaming with joy and secretly vowed to work hard for the factory next year, to make the factory more and more profitable, and to strive to give out welfare benefits every year during the Spring Festival.
After the New Year, everyone took a week off, and the garment factory resumed work on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
Buy new clothes for the New Year. The last wave of pre-New Year shopping has almost emptied the factory's inventory; it's time to restock.
Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the stores also opened for business.
The neighboring noodle shop was closed, and the elderly couple who ran it didn't open it until noon. In the afternoon, a group of people suddenly came, not only taking down the sign on the noodle shop's signboard, but also moving all the large items out of the shop.
The shop's employees went out to inquire and found out that the noodle shop had closed down and the landlord had rented the property out again.
Fang Qiao was puzzled after hearing this: "Old Chen and his wife are very skilled, and their business is the best on this street. Why did they suddenly quit?"
"Yes, I'm wondering the same thing. Such a good business, why wouldn't they make money? We asked those people, but they didn't know either. They were just hired to work, and they've never even seen Old Chen and his wife." The shop assistant said regretfully, "It's such a pity, we won't be able to eat Old Chen's signature braised pork intestine noodles anymore."
Fang Qiao: "That's not necessarily true. Old Chen and his wife can't stay idle. Their son works at the sponge factory, and who knows, they might open the noodle shop again someday."
"I hope so."
The shop assistant was still sighing. She was a former educated youth who had returned to the city. She had spent seven or eight years in Sichuan Province and had developed a preference for spicy food. Old Chen and his wife were also from Sichuan Province. She had been back in the city for over a year, and only the food sold by Old Chen's shop suited her taste best.
She was the most disappointed when the Chen family quit.
The shop assistant rested her chin on her wrist, tilted her head, and looked outside: "Boss, you said that after Old Chen moved out, what kind of business will move in next door?"
"As long as you are a down-to-earth person doing business, nothing else matters."
"What if another clothing store opens up here?" the shop assistant said worriedly. "If two clothing stores open across from each other, won't half of our business be taken away?"
“There’s nothing we can do about it. There are so many storefronts on the street. You can’t stop people from renting them out to clothing stores, can you?” Fang Qiao was quite optimistic. “It’s bound to happen sooner or later. As long as we make our clothes well, make them look good, and keep the quality and prices reasonable, we won’t have to worry about not having business.”
People love to follow trends. Last year, their business was booming. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell they must have made a lot of money. Who wouldn't be envious?
Fang Qiao had long anticipated that it was only a matter of time before others followed suit and opened their own shops.
However, Beijing is the capital city after all, with a large population and market, so this is not a business that a single store can monopolize. It's like a large pot of rice; one person can't finish it all.
As long as there is healthy competition, everyone can make money in this large market.
Sure enough, a new sign was soon hung on the storefront next door, with a cleverly chosen name: "Hong Kong Style Clothing Store".
Before the Lunar New Year, Hong Kong films entered the mainland cinema market, and several films achieved remarkable success. In particular, one crime thriller stood out from the crowd.
The skyscrapers rising from the ground and the modern metropolises with towering buildings in the movie have almost refreshed people's current understanding. The glitz and glamour of the bustling world and the swaying modern women have once again aroused a wave of enthusiasm among people.
Thanks to these blockbuster movies, the clothes at the Formula One clothing store were sold out before the Lunar New Year.
The opening of the Hong Kong-style clothing store has really impacted their business.
This boss is a very good follower of trends.
When Fang Qiao opened her business, she set up a stage and hired singers and actors to perform. This boss also hired them.
Fang Qiao offered a 30% discount on its first day of business, while this boss is offering a 50% discount.
Fang Qiao offered a 20% discount on the second day of its opening, and this boss continued with a 50% discount.
Fang Qiao offered a 10% discount on the third day after opening, and this boss continues with a 50% discount.
Fang Qiao reverted to its original price on the fourth day after opening, but the owner started offering a 30% discount.
While it's her prerogative to offer discounts, doing so is... well, let's just say it's hard to explain.
As a result of this boss's actions, the business of [Formula Clothing Store] did not improve for several days in a row. Customers came in sparsely, and only a few dozen items were sold each day, and they were all old customers.
Even though Fang Qiao knew in her heart that this was something she had to go through and that things would be fine once the other party opened for business, she still couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
After some thought, Fang Qiao decided to send a group of friends and family members to investigate.
She enlisted the help of Wang Yun and Qi Miao, who pretended to be customers and went to the other party's store to buy clothes.
Both were unfamiliar faces, and the other party had just opened and business was booming, so they naturally didn't notice the 'spy' hiding in the crowd.
