Chapter 179: No Low Price or Death
"Big sister, is that you?"
Jiang Anan was a little stunned.
The lady who was pushing a cart selling sweet soup outside the train station last year has now opened a sweet soup shop.
Although the store is small, the business is very good.
"It's you, pretty girl?"
The eldest sister also recognized Jiang Anan.
After all, she was really beautiful, and her money was stolen at the time, so she naturally remembered it clearly.
"Oh my, I haven't seen you for a year. Is the baby already born?"
The elder sister spoke Cantonese and asked with a smile.
"Yes, she has given birth."
Jiang Anan responded, "Big sister, it seems that your business is good. Have you opened a store?"
Some emotion.
The eldest sister waved her hands and said, "It's OK. There are so many people coming to Guangcheng to do business. I made a little money, and then my husband borrowed some money from someone, and the two of us opened a dessert shop here!"
After saying that, several more customers came into the store to buy sweet soup, and the elder sister hurriedly went to greet the customers.
Jiang Anan sat near the door and looked outside. She found that compared with last year, there were many different kinds of shops near the train station, selling all kinds of food, drinks and entertainment.
"Guangcheng is developing so fast..."
Sighing.
Qian Jianguo nodded and said, "Yes, since the reform and opening up, Guangcheng has developed very fast. Everyone has started their own business, and many small factories have opened up!"
Looking outside, Jiang Anan was in a daze.
The 1980s was truly an era of rapid change.
After eating the sweet soup, Qian Jianguo sent Jiang Anan to find a guesthouse to stay, and he took his son home.
When Jiang Anan checked into the guesthouse, she found that more people came to Guangcheng to wholesale clothes.
There were only a few men here before, but now there are many more women, young or middle-aged. They all speak with different accents and chat about what clothes are in fashion recently and what products will sell well in wholesale.
Of course, there are also people like Jiang Anan who have come all the way from the north.
It seems that more and more people are doing business.
Someone came over and greeted her. Jiang Anan paused, then chatted with the person with a smile.
Everyone is very excited and wants to achieve something.
On the other side, Crane City.
When Zhao Haomei went to the market to set up her stall, she found a notice posted on the door of Ai Yi Clothing Store saying "Some clothes in the store are on sale at 20% off."
I couldn't help but sneer in my heart.
Jiang Anan, ah Jiang Anan, you want to compete with Zhao Haomei by offering discounts, right?
Don’t even think about it!
After entering the market, Zhao Haomei started shouting about the "buy two get one free" promotion.
Jiang Anan is giving a discount, what is she afraid of?
If she doesn’t destroy Ai Yi Clothing Store this time, Zhao Haomei will no longer be named Zhao!
When Yang Shulan found that the number of customers had decreased again, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, so she went to the market to take a look. Sure enough, Zhao Haomei was also lowering the prices!
I thought of what An An said, as long as the price is not lower than the cost price, it can be sold.
She thought about it and changed the 20% discount to 40%.
Business has indeed improved.
Yang Shulan breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Haomei didn't expect that Jiang Anan's store would actually lower prices. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and ordered buy one get one free!
——
The next day, Jiang Anan and Qian Jianguo went to a stall where they had previously wholesaled high-end clothing.
The stall owner was extremely happy when she learned that they were there for wholesale.
"I'll give you a discount this time!"
Jiang Anan was a little stunned.
Previously, the lady boss had insisted on not lowering the wholesale price.
If it weren't for the good design and quality of the clothes in this store, she would have been a little hesitant.
I can’t believe now…
"Oh! You don't know, I'm about to go bankrupt. Several of my old customers have gone to wholesale those rubbish!"
The proprietress sighed.
Junk goods, naturally, refer to the low-priced clothes that have appeared recently.
"Why do you think this is happening? The quality of those clothes is obviously terrible. I won't even mention the fabrics, but even the threads are not cut cleanly. Yet, they are selling so well!"
"Because it's cheap. There are cheap ones, so there's no need to choose the expensive ones."
Qian Jianguo responded.
The lady boss curled her lips and said, "Cheap goods are not good!"
Then, he smiled and looked at Jiang Anan, "I think this pretty girl knows what goods are. The clothes in my stall are of high quality and there is nothing wrong with them, right?"
Jiang Anan couldn't help laughing and nodded.
The proprietress introduced some new styles in the store. Jiang Anan decided on ten styles. After buying thirty pieces of each style, they agreed on a time to pick up the goods and left with Qian Jianguo.
She has other stalls to visit.
Before leaving, the lady boss couldn't help but come forward and said, "If any of your friends want to buy wholesale in the future, remember to introduce them to me. I'll give you a discount then!"
Jiang Anan agreed.
But she also saw that the low-priced clothing market was not only affecting the clothing stores, but even the stalls were about to be squeezed to death...
The two of them seized the opportunity and went to several other stalls.
However, the styles of the next few stalls she visited did not particularly suit Jiang Anan's taste, and in the end she only chose five or six styles in total.
The bosses didn't have any objections. After all, some of them had not even placed ten orders so far this year.
Jiang Anan walked in the wholesale market. There were still many people on the road, but most of them went to the low-priced clothing stalls.
In the market, even many stalls that previously sold mid-range products have now begun to cut corners and wholesale low-priced clothes.
The entire market seems to be filled with a mentality that if you don’t lower the price, you will die.
"It's never been like this before..."
Qian Jianguo sighed.
In the past, the market was flourishing with products of all price ranges, but no matter what the price range was, quality was always the top priority. It was nothing like it is now, where people only look at price and ignore quality.
"This storm will eventually pass."
Jiang Anan responded.
It was noon and more and more people came to the market. Plus, it was even hotter in Guangzhou today, making it a bit suffocating.
"Let's go, get out first..."
She really couldn't bear it anymore.
The heat in Guangzhou is humid and even if you are not exposed to the sun, you can still feel a wave of heat enveloping you.
It's only March and it's already so hot. Jiang Anan doesn't dare to think about Guangcheng in June or July...
"Let's go! I'm going to suffocate to death!"
Qian Jianguo wiped his sweat, and the two of them walked out against the flow of people.
But when she was about to walk out, Jiang Anan saw a man carrying goods who looked familiar.
She rubbed her eyes, but the man was blocked by the crowd and she couldn't see clearly.
"What's wrong?"
Qian Jianguo couldn't help feeling confused when he saw her stop.
"I think I saw someone I know..."
As Jiang Anan spoke, he stared over there with a frown.
She felt that she was not mistaken.
"Who is it?"
Qian Jianguo was a little confused. He followed her gaze and saw only a bunch of people coming over to buy clothes wholesale.
Jiang Anan didn't say anything. After the group of people left, she finally saw the man carrying the goods. It was...
