Chapter 280 Business Acumen
The walls of the house were simply painted white and covered with posters.
It has a full atmosphere of that era.
Old Mrs. Liu sat aside and watched with a nervous heart.
After waiting for a long time and only seeing people come into the house to look, but no one bought anything, she started to panic: "My dear, you insist on asking me to make such old clothes and pants. What if no one buys them? The material will be wasted."
Especially those pants, they are so tight and look uncomfortable.
A while ago, my daughter took her to watch movies and TV series every day.
This kid is really bold. Can celebrities dress the same as people with the same surname?
These are not suitable for everyday wear, how can they possibly sell well?
Liu Qingqing didn't have time to comfort her at this time.
"Hello, how much are these pants?"
Liu Qingqing put on a standard eight-tooth smile and leaned over: "The pants are twenty-five yuan."
Old Mrs. Liu's eyes widened. How much material could twenty-five yuan buy? How dare my daughter ask for so much!
The girl frowned, obviously the price was out of her range.
“This is too expensive.”
Her companion pulled her closer and whispered softly, "These pants belong to Zhang Jinling."
The girl nodded slightly, indicating that she knew and didn't want her to say more.
I touched my pants again, they felt really good.
Liu Qingqing watched the two of them interact privately and explained with a smile, "These clothes are all movie star styles. They're very popular in the south, but here in Huating, I'm the first to get them."
This is the first one now, but soon, seeing that hers sells well, others will have to follow suit.
The two of them whispered and discussed for a while, and finally worked together to take out the money to buy it.
Liu Qingqing immediately took the money and packed the clothes.
The handbag was also specially made, and with this as a contrast, the other party suddenly felt that the pants were worth buying.
In the past two years, due to the influence of the state's unified marketing, not many people have the awareness of bargaining.
So when the boss gave them a price, what they were thinking about was whether they could afford it, not whether they could negotiate it down.
Old Mrs. Liu had been watching for a long time, but she didn't expect that it could actually be sold.
As soon as the people left, she trembled with excitement.
"My dear girl, why sell it for so much money???"
Liu Qingqing stuffed the money into her hand, asked her to experience it, and then went on to receive the next person.
It was the first day of opening and there was no big publicity, so not many people knew about it.
So by the time we closed the shop at night, we had only sold five pieces.
But Old Mrs. Liu was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She wanted to start working overnight and make a few more pieces.
"Let's go, mom. The door is closed."
"What are you busy with? It's not even dark yet. Who knows if someone else will show up later."
Liu Qingqing didn't listen to her. It was not the time for nightlife yet.
At night, almost no one walks on the street.
What worries her now is that she has to go back to work tomorrow, Monday, and she doesn’t know if the old lady can handle it alone.
Fortunately, when she doesn't have classes, she can still come over and keep an eye on things.

For two consecutive days, the store's business was getting better and better.
Even if Liu Qingqing stared at him for a long time, it wouldn't last forever.
Before the store opened, she asked around in the compound if anyone wanted to work.
However, when the people in the compound heard that it was a privately-owned tailor shop, they all shook their heads and refused.
These days, many people can't find jobs, but it's difficult for individual businesses to recruit people.
It's still a problem of concept. People feel that working for an individual is not decent.
So Liu Qingqing turned her attention to the female educated youth who had returned to their hometowns.
These people have experienced hardships, and most of them would not complain that selling clothes is a difficult job.
After being away for a long time, I suddenly come back and feel out of place at home.
Thanks to Teacher Yin's gossip, she knows who around her family has just returned from the countryside after many years, who is single and unmarried at an older age, and who has a bad relationship with his family.
She knows them like the back of her hand.
Sun Yumei is the educated youth who returned to the city and lived near Teacher Yin’s home.
She was only in junior high school when she went to the countryside. Because she was the least favored in her family, it was her turn to go to the countryside even though she was still young.
This time, it’s not because of my parents’ ability that I came back.
In recent years, the number of educated youth returning home has increased year by year. In the village where she lives, most of the unmarried educated youth have left. If she waits any longer, she will probably be the only one left in the entire educated youth center.
The village chief felt sorry for her. She had been in their village since she was ten years old, working hard all the time, and she was as thin as a bamboo pole. He was worried that she would not be able to endure any longer, so he included her in this year's batch of quotas.
During the time Sun Yumei returned home, she had been living on a makeshift bed in the kitchen, and she had to put away the board during the day.
The room where she and her sisters lived together five years ago has long been occupied by her eldest brother's two sons.
When she left, she hadn't even graduated from junior high school and wasn't very good at studying, so when the college entrance exam was resumed, she didn't even want to try.
Sun's mother paid no attention to her and often talked about how so-and-so's child had been admitted to university in the countryside and how he was doing now.
She has to listen to her mother's indirect criticism every day and has to work like a slave at home.
Still not full.
I always feel that life here is even worse than in the village.
