So, after Xiao Qinyun opened the rolling shutter door, the military truck drove directly into the warehouse. Several soldiers hurriedly loaded 13 color TVs, 18 tape recorders and 62 cassettes into the truck. Xiao Wang paid the balance of more than 137,000 yuan, and both of them tore up the deposit slips, and the transaction was over.
Afterwards, Qiao Qinglu locked the warehouse and the group went to the hotel.
After saying goodbye to Xiao Qinyu and the others, they checked out of the warehouse and hotel room. Xiao Qinyu and the others took a taxi to the bus station and returned to Guangzhou.
We took a taxi from Yangcheng Bus Station to the airport. It was already 7 o'clock in the evening when we arrived at Yanjing. Everyone was tired and there was no time to talk about anything else. We just took a shower and went to bed. We would talk about it tomorrow if there was anything else.
This trip to Hong Kong was quite fruitful. The two sets of audio equipment I bought were given to the store. Xiao's electrical appliance store added color TV game consoles and game watches, and also started a business selling and buying second-hand flashlights.
During the day, Xiao Qinyun worked at the electronics store, repairing televisions and tape recorders with Master Yu and his colleagues. At night, he was busy tinkering with the Apple II Plus.
Except for the children's clothes and sneakers reserved for the children of the Wu family, the Cao family, and Brother Qiao's family, all other children's clothes and shoes are sold in the clothing store.
Qiao Qinglu also gave Zhong Xueqi and He Jiani the task of selling out all the summer styles before August 10th, and then launching the autumn styles on August 11th, so the summer clothes would have to be sold at a 30% discount.
Qiao Qinglu directly gave the batch of defective foreign orders to the two groups setting up stalls to sell. Similarly, the summer styles also needed to be cleared out as soon as possible, as time was running out.
As for the future purchase issue, Qiao Qinglu plans to purchase goods at the end of August. After Xiao Qinyun starts school, she will purchase goods once every one, half a month or two months. It will still be in time if she takes a flight on weekends.
In a blink of an eye, the autumn wind started to blow, the maple leaves turned red, it was early October, the weather was getting colder, and it was no longer suitable to set up a stall outside.
Besides, it was almost 1983, and Qiao Qinglu decided to expand her store and could no longer hang out outside. This time, she set her sights on a storefront outside Wangfujing Shopping Mall.
To save trouble, they went to District Chief Wu again. With his help, Qiao Qinglu signed a 5-year contract with the shopping mall and opened IMMORTAL Nishang (second store) and Xiaojia Electric Appliances (second store) in Wangfujing.
The decoration was the same as the old store. Qiao Qinglu called Jiang Sheng directly and had the materials shipped over at the same time as the purchase.
After the new store opened, the second Nishang store was managed by Xue Ming and Li Yang, and a new female salesperson, Liu Xiaoyu, was hired; the second electrical appliance store was managed by Master Shen and Zhang Yuanhang, and a new veteran, Meng Lang, was hired.
Although the business of the two new stores is not as prosperous as the old stores, the brand effect has emerged.
"To buy clothes, go to Nishang; to buy electrical appliances, go to Xiao's." This has become a common saying among the people in Yanjing City.
Nichang's clothes are of high quality and high-end, and members can enjoy discounts. This not only retains old customers, but also attracts many new customers.
Even though there are more and more stalls selling clothes on the streets nowadays, many people in Yanjing City still only go to her store to buy new clothes.
The same goes for electrical appliance stores. Xiao's Electrical Appliances not only sells color TVs, tape recorders, and game consoles without tickets, but also sells second-hand flashlights and has a recycling area. He can even buy you his big speakers as long as you have money.
Winter passed, spring came, and summer solstice arrived. During the summer vacation of 1983, Xiao Qinyun, Qiao Qinglu and their family of six were preparing to go south again.
This time they passed directly from Yangcheng to the Special Zone to celebrate the full moon of Xiao Qinyu's daughter Huanhuan.
The old man likes military life and is taking this opportunity to stay in the Special Administrative Region for some time to help his youngest son.
Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu gave Huanhuan a set of baby gold locks, gold bracelets, and gold anklets. After the full month, Xiao's father stayed in the military camp, and the family of five returned to Hong Kong.
This time, Qiao Qinglu went to Hong Kong for two reasons: one was to purchase goods, and the other was to buy a house.
Qiao Qinglu remembered that Hong Kong's housing prices collapsed in 1982 and 1983. She called Mr. Jiang a while ago, and he told her that the housing prices on South Bay Road had fallen to HK$520 per square foot.
Qiao Qinglu calculated that the money she had now was enough to buy several luxury houses, so she no longer hesitated and asked Jiang Sheng to find out which luxury houses were for sale on South Bay Road and help her exchange them for 5 million Hong Kong dollars, or 500,000 US dollars, which she would keep.
Jiang Sheng didn't understand what Qiao Qinglu did, but he didn't ask directly. He just quietly prepared the cash and waited for Qiao Qinglu to come to Hong Kong, and everything would become clear.
