Su Qingmeng drew some distinctive shop decorations of later generations. Lin Xiuyao chose the style himself and hired a decoration team to do the decoration. He went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to apply for a business license and prepared to open a clothing store.
The clothing industry was booming in the 1980s. After hearing Su Qingmeng say that cloth coupons would be abolished next year and that she would still design clothes, it was important to accumulate funds in the early stages. Lin Xiuyao considered it over and over again before choosing this industry.
This is where his connections came into play. He got the document after just two trips.
The shop was renovated in November, and he set off for Pengcheng. The train was even more chaotic, with many thieves. When he arrived in Guangshi, the clothing industry in Guangshi was more developed than that in Pengcheng, and there were more small workshops and private factories.
After familiarizing himself with the market, he went to Pengcheng to take a look. It was clearly a different place since his last visit. Many buildings had been built. There were more people coming and going, and construction was going on everywhere. The whole city seemed to be bustling with construction.
He first sold all the pearls that Su Qingmeng had saved, inspected the private clothing factories here, and picked out the two with the best management.
This time he came alone and met Su Qingmeng in the space every night. He bought a lot of samples of clothes and accessories. At night in the space, the two discussed and selected clothing styles.
The goods were ordered and placed in the warehouse. During the day, he went shopping in the bustling commercial street, taking a pen and paper to record the goods there. In the evening, he returned to the space to let Su Qingmeng check if there was anything she needed. He also went to a nearby village to buy some fruits and seafood.
After agreeing with the manufacturer to receive payment and ship the goods, and knowing that he only needed to come back once a quarter to place an order for the new design, he set off on his journey home.
Lin Xiuyao brought back a projector and discs from Pengcheng, including "The Bund" and "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", etc. Su Qingmeng installed the machine and played "The Bund".
A familiar melody sounded, "The waves are running, the waves are flowing..." She was excited. Fa Ge, with his slicked-back hair, white scarf and black suit, said, "Xu Wenqiang is so handsome!"
Lin Xiuyao was also watching with great interest. When they both came to their senses, it was already 11 o'clock. "Ah, I have classes tomorrow!" Su Qingmeng hurried to bed.
The next day, she went to school with dark circles under her eyes. Tang Qiuyu looked at her meaningfully, "Is your boyfriend back? You slept pretty late last night, didn't you?"
"No," Su Qingmeng whispered, "I stayed up late watching TV."
After returning home, Su Qingmeng put the disc away and decided to watch it during the holidays. It was too time-consuming.
Lin Xiuyao began recruiting, as there were a ton of unemployed young people. He chose those with good looks and fluent speech, ultimately selecting three women and one man. He'd actually considered hiring all women, but considering the two stores, the current security situation was precarious, and he couldn't split his time between them, so it was best to have one man per store.
The store clerks began training. Nowadays, the service staff in state-owned stores have poor attitudes, and private stores like theirs can only attract customers by providing good service. Lin Xiuyao taught them clothing matching and recommendation techniques.
He chose an auspicious day to open the store in Xidan. On that day, he hired several people to distribute flyers to attract customers.
The first floor is mostly women's clothing, and the second floor is accessories, hair accessories, scarves, hats, etc. The clothes in the store are novel, and the models are all matched by Su Qingmeng, which makes people shine. The clothes on the models sell the fastest.
There were five people working in the store. Initially, Lin Xiuyao was there every day to monitor the situation. After a dozen days, when the staff had become familiar with the procedures, he opened the front store and transferred two high-performing salespeople there.
After a busy month, the store finally got back on track.
