Just when Qian Duoduo thought everything was fine.
Sudden.
A man in his forties at the back asked, "You've bought several houses in a row and spent a lot of money on renovations. Where did you get the money?"
Qian Duoduo was cursing in his heart and thinking about how to act when Fu Changping spoke.
"Duoduo, this is Director Chang from the Market Economy Regulatory Department."
Qian Duoduo understood.
She really pays attention to her actions.
I didn't have time to think about so many things. Although I felt nervous, I didn't look panicky.
She curled her lips and smiled obediently, nodding, "Hello, Director Chang."
"When the spring breeze of national reform blew across the land, I listened to the news on the radio every day. After learning that the country encouraged individuals to start their own businesses, I wanted to help my family improve their lives."
"But the spring breeze of reform has not blown to our mountain village. My grandmother is very strict, and my parents are even more strongly opposed to what I said. I have no choice but to make some money during the winter and summer vacations."
"In the summer of 1979, I took 80 yuan and secretly took the train to Guangzhou for the first time. I bought some goods and then set up a stall to sell them. Day by day, I made a little money. Add to that the betrothal gift Jun Mo gave me and the gift my parents gave me for meeting me, and I have enough money to run a small business now."
Everyone in the car: This is no small business.
Director Chang's expression didn't improve much. "With a cost of 80 yuan, what did you sell for the first time?"
Qian Duoduo said politely, "Stockings."
"A pair of stockings costs a few cents and can be sold for three yuan."
“What’s the most profitable product you sell?”
Qian Duoduo narrowed his eyes and smiled innocently, "I don't really understand either. Anyway, I sell in large quantities. The profit is high, and I'm afraid that no one else will buy. So I sell as much as others sell."
"I don't rely on making high profits to earn money from ordinary people. I just accumulate over time, take steady steps, work hard, and sell in large quantities. Customers can buy at a low price, and I can also attract repeat customers. As my volume increases, I will gradually earn more."
"Other people only set up stalls for one afternoon, but I set up stalls from 7am to 10pm to earn some hard-earned money."
Everyone in the car fell into deep thought.
Qian Duoduo didn't know whether this group of people believed it.
Seeing Director Chang about to speak, Fu Changping smiled and said, "Duoduo, I heard from your Uncle Chang that the clothes your mother and your third aunt sell on Xidan Street are very expensive. A skirt for forty or fifty yuan? A coat for one hundred and eleven?"
Qian Duoduo smiled with his eyes crooked. "Dad, you may not have seen the clothes I sell. If my mom doesn't mind, I'll send a few over someday."
After saying that, he looked at Director Chang and said with a smile, "If Director Chang saw the clothes I made, he would say that you get what you pay for."
"My skirt is forty-five, and my coat is one hundred and eleven. If you've ever seen clothes, you'll know that the quality and style are much better than those in department stores that cost two or three hundred."
"In order to keep up with the changes in fashion capitals like Guangzhou and Shanghai, I spend a lot of money on fabrics, buttons, zippers, etc., and I also hire the best tailors I can find. My costs are high, so the price I sell my clothes at is just a reward for my hard work."
"When it comes to fashion, you really can't complain about the price. When I open this clothing store, the prices will definitely double because I want to be a fashion store, an image store, not just a store that sells clothes."
Give these people a heads-up in advance to save them from endless investigations.
Now, there are open and covert struggles at the top.
Several pieces of clothes sold by Qian Duoduo's mother and Third Aunt have appeared on the desks of Fu Changping and several leaders. For this reason, they held more than one meeting.
So, they knew that what Qian Duoduo said was true.
The quality and style of that coat are much better than those in department stores, and the price is much cheaper than that in department stores.
Otherwise, the market regulators would have confiscated the clothes and put the person in jail long ago.
“If your clothes could be sold in department stores, would you be willing to do so?”
Another person she didn't recognize asked.
Qian Duoduo smiled with his eyes curved, "Of course I'm willing. Who would want to sell goods at a street stall when they can sell goods in a department store? But I don't have the skills, so it's useless to even think about it."
"Then you want to come in, isn't it your father's words?"
Qian Duoduo's smile was a little stiff. There were really traps everywhere.
Even someone as simple and kind as her was forced to take such a risk.
"Uncle, you're joking. How could I, with my little trick, trouble my father-in-law? He has served the country and the people with integrity all his life. I can't let him get involved in my business. Not to mention my father-in-law, I won't let Jun Mo get involved at all. In our family, I never mention business matters. At most, I ask him to run errands."
"I just came here and I can't tell the directions, so I asked Jun Mo to help me find someone to renovate the house and run some errands."
After saying this, she was startled and said cautiously: "Uncle, I won't make a mistake, right? Can't I let my man run errands?"
Everyone: ...
Who can say that it is wrong to let your man run errands?
Liu Qi was very optimistic about Qian Duoduo and said with a smile, "That's right! Haha, isn't the purpose of finding a man to do work? Otherwise, what's the point of having a man?"
After that, he continued with a smile, "Duoduo, this uncle is Director Zhang of our country's newly established Municipal Economic Development and Construction Office. He also indirectly manages the department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives. If you want your clothes to enter department stores or supply and marketing cooperatives, you can contact him."
Qian Duoduo nodded gratefully, then looked at Director Zhang and smiled, "I'm still just a small business now, with no name or brand. Wait until I come back from this trip and see if I can import some good materials and build a brand that belongs to our country. Once it's famous and has a brand, I can ask Director Zhang for help. Asking Director Zhang now would really make things difficult for him."
Once her brand is established and her clothes are recognized by the market, she won’t have to look for others; others will come to her.
Then she would take the initiative instead of passively asking for help.
Director Zhang smiled and nodded.
not simple.
At this time, Liu Qi called the flight attendants and served fruit and snacks to everyone.
Sitting in the last row, listening to the whole conversation full of innuendos and watching Qian Duoduo's calm and relaxed performance, I once again looked up to this little girl.
He didn't think Qian Duoduo didn't understand what was said. It was precisely because he understood that he was able to cleverly avoid the trap.
Be it cleverness or pretending to be dumb, it is indeed not easy to remain so calm and composed in front of so many important figures.
Yesterday, Fu Junmo briefly talked about some ways to make money, such as buying and selling houses, making tens of thousands a day. He heard some gossip on the way, and then he decided to invest in Xiaotangshan, buy a house, lease the slope, and plant fruit trees.
Although reform and opening up have taken place now, it is not an easy matter for a stranger to buy a house in the village.
He knew clearly how important the villagers attached to houses and foundations.
But Qian Duoduo did it.
Not only did he do it, he also bought a lot and even rented out an entire mountain.
Among them, good luck is one aspect, and on the other hand, it can only be said that this little girl is born with a talent for business.
