So everyone was busy with their own things.
Doubao saw that no one paid any attention to him, so he decided to stop making a fuss and just continue eating his fill.
Xiao Qinyun asked Master Shen to buy two bottles of white wine from the Supply and Marketing Department. Today, everyone will have a meal together and drink some.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Father Xiao and Aunt Qiu took the three children back to their room to do their homework, while Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu brought Master Shen and the other six people to the basement.
"Liao Shaohui, Zhang Yuanhang, Xue Ming, and Yang, the four of you will split into two groups and form your own teams."
After hearing this, the four of them quickly divided into groups, Xue Ming and Yang in one group, Liao Shaohui and Zhang Yuanhang in another.
"Hey, there are two rooms over there, with bunk beds. Divide the stalls into two groups, and form the teams accordingly. Starting tomorrow, Qin Yun and I will lead Xue Ming and Xiao Yang to set up the stall, while Master Shen and Master Yu will lead Liao Shaohui and Zhang Yuanhang. We'll rotate every Monday thereafter."
Then, Qiao Qinglu took out the two pieces of cardboard written in the afternoon and handed the one with the white shirt written on it to Master Shen.
"Master Shen, during this time, you guys sell shirts, skirts, and jeans, and we'll sell dresses, suits, and tape recorders. Starting tomorrow, bring all the long-sleeved shirts, 100 cardigans, 200 pairs of jeans, 100 of each new style, 50 watch straps, and 50 pairs of sandals. Focus on selling out the long-sleeved shirts first, and try to sell as many cardigans as possible. We won't sell them for a few weeks, and we'll wait until fall."
Xiao Qinyun continued, "Let me add something. Tomorrow we'll go to the machinery factory, and you'll go to the food factory. From now on, we'll set up stalls in front of different factories, selling different items. This way, we won't reduce sales and we can also promote each other. Master Shen, Master Yu, from now on, we'll set up stalls twice a day, once at noon and once in the afternoon. When we set up stalls in the afternoon, one person from each group will be left to pick up the children. We'll have one day off every seven days, and we'll pay commission once. Liao Shaohui, Zhang Yuanhang, Xue Ming, and Xiaoyang, the four of you will live in Wangfujing. I've given the keys to Zhang Yuanhang and Xiaoyang. From now on, come over at 7 a.m. for breakfast, and go back home after dinner."
Master Shen and his companions all agreed, but Liao Shaohui and his companions left before they checked out.
Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu came out of the basement and went to the back room. The children had almost finished their homework and were listening to Xiao's father telling stories about the Anti-Japanese War.
The two went back to their room to rest, as they were exhausted after a long day.
The following days were all about selling, selling, and selling. I have to say that setting up stalls separately is more efficient.
Master Shen and his team sold out the long-sleeved shirts in just a few days and marked the white shirts and black shirts on the blackboard.
The new styles, jeans, sunglasses, and watches all sold well. Even the cardigans sold more than 800 pieces in three weeks before being taken off the shelves due to the hot weather.
The dresses and suits that Qiao Qinglu and her friends brought back were very popular, and the magazines played a big role in this. Although they were out of date, Hong Kong magazines were basically not available in the mainland at that time, so they were bought and ushered in a sales boom.
However, Qiao Qinglu didn't bring back many magazines. She kept one set for herself and put it back in her study for collection. So the 96 people who bought it first were lucky, and the female workers who bought it later were emo.
There was no other way, so Qiao Qinglu could only take out all the new magazines and change the rules on the blackboard, changing "Buy a dress or suit, get a belt or back-issued magazine for free. (Limited number of magazines, first come first served)" to "Buy one dress or suit, get a belt for free, buy three and get a new magazine for free (you can only participate in one free offer)".
However, these 120 magazines were soon given away, and the rule was finally restored to "buy a dress or suit and get a belt for free." Finally, the belts were also given away, and the rule was changed to "buy a dress or suit and get pantyhose or 2 pairs of nylon stockings for free."
Just as the skirt attracted the attention of the female workers, the appearance of the cassette recorder immediately attracted the attention and pursuit of fashionable young people.
Qiao Qinglu established connections with the security guards at each factory, slipped them a few packs of cigarettes, and connected a power strip so that all customers who bought tape recorders could test the machines on the spot to ensure their effectiveness.
You can test the machine on the spot, the price is cheaper than in the mall, and there are also tapes of popular hits for free. For a time, many people bought dual-cassette recorders.
During this period, the four people performed well. After the one-month probation period, Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu gave them a commission plan of "1 yuan for every 4 pieces of clothing sold; 1.5 yuan for every 2 watches sold; 2 yuan for every tape recorder sold."
After a month and a half, Qiao Qinglu's storage room was left with only 831 cardigans, 2,359 pairs of jeans, 120 short-sleeved white shirts, 151 short-sleeved blouses, 36 skirts, 264 dresses, and 60 short-sleeved suits. There were also 13,687 pairs of white and flesh-colored tights, 2,621 small accessories, 3,756 pairs of nylon socks, 23 dual-cassette recorders, and 896 tapes.
After deducting the commissions given to Master Shen and Master Yu, 2,287 yuan each, and the probationary wages and half a month's commissions of the four people, 312 yuan each, plus the remaining 36,000 yuan before the end, Qiao Qinglu now has more than 593,000 yuan left.
In mid-May, Qiao Qinglu and Xiao Qinyun set off again.
