In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Day of 1988. In the cold wind early in the morning, a series of firecrackers sounded, alarming the people around.
News that a clothing store is about to open here has been circulating nearby for a long time. Now that they hear the sound of firecrackers, young women who love beauty are flocking here.
At the entrance of the store, there is a long red carpet. Looking along the red carpet, you can see a gorgeous crystal chandelier.
Looking up again, there is a brand new store name plaque hanging on it - "Xinxin Clothing Store".
This name is in line with the trend of this era, so Gao Mingcheng didn't bother to choose another name and just used it.
On New Year's Day in 1988, Xinxin Clothing Store opened at 9 a.m.!
Gao Mingcheng was wearing a black windbreaker, black leather shoes, and a slicked back hair. He looked very fashionable. Beside him were two pretty girls.
Both Duo Mei and Gao Shufang were dressed in new clothes, with high ponytails and lipstick, looking as fashionable as modern girls in TV series.
The three of them attracted everyone's attention when they first appeared.
Gao Mingcheng stood on the steps, looking at the crowd attracted by the firecrackers, and said with a smile: "Today is New Year's Day. We welcome the new year together. At the same time, today is also an auspicious day for the opening of Xinxin Clothing Store. Our Xinxin Clothing store The store sells men's, women's and children's clothing, with a variety of styles, all of which are the most fashionable styles at the moment. You can come in and take a look. It's all 20% off when it opens today. What does 20% off mean? It's just clothes that cost ten yuan. Today, we only offer 20% off. If you sell it for eight yuan and spend over one hundred yuan, you will get a pair of cotton socks as a gift!"
"Sister, come in and take a look. You will be satisfied with the clothes inside!" Duo Mei has sold clothes before, but now he is not afraid of the crowd and starts soliciting customers directly.
Gao Shufang had some stage fright. Her body was trembling slightly, but she tried her best to maintain a smile on her face.
Gao Mingcheng also took the initiative to solicit customers, leading onlookers into the store to take a look, and then began to ask them what clothes they wanted to buy, and then led them to the corresponding location.
As the saying goes, a woman's wardrobe is always missing one piece of clothing, so the most conspicuous place in a clothing store is women's clothing. These fashionable women's clothing, for people in remote counties, each piece is extremely beautiful, especially Under the reflection of the crystal chandelier, the beauty is dazzling.
At this time, beautiful singing sounded in the store. It turned out that Gao Mingcheng turned on the tape recorder and played the song tape.
In the 1980s when the decoration was simple and the business model was monotonous, the Xinxin clothing store opened by Gao Mingcheng was just like its name, everything was so novel.
The gorgeous decoration, the fashionable clothing styles, and the beautiful songs played immediately caught people's attention.
In an era where gossip is popular, this Xinxin clothing store will appear in the mouths of thousands of people within a short time.
Those who are curious or have the need to buy clothes will choose Xinxin Clothing Store to see if it is as good as the legend.
On this day, Gao Mingcheng and the others never rested. There were always people in the store. Some people were reluctant to buy because they thought the price was too expensive, but there were also some who were willing to spend money.
In any place, there is always a small group of people who are not short of money. These people are the top people in all walks of life. In their view, the price is not important, what is important is the style and texture of the clothes!
They need to attend important occasions, so they naturally pay attention to how they dress. They don't like some bargains. Gao Mingcheng positions the clothing store as mid-to-high-end. As for the low-end market, he directly abandons it.
Zhao Dongmei also came to the clothing store in the afternoon.
She decided to pick out a new set of clothes for herself and Gao Guobing, and they were the kind that looked good inside and out. Gao Mingcheng was unwilling to accept her money and said it was given to her. As a result, she lost her temper and taught Gao Mingcheng a lesson.
Finally, Zhao Dongmei took out the money and said: "Brothers are still clearing up the accounts. The most taboo thing about doing business is not accepting money. No matter who comes in the future, no matter how hard the relationship is, you can only give discounts, not free. do you know?"
"Hurry up and find the money! If you are new to a new business, you must be careful! You need to attract wealth and make your business prosperous!"
Duo Mei glanced at Gao Mingcheng, and at Gao Mingcheng's signal, he accepted Zhao Dongmei's money and found the money quickly.
During the final bagging, Duo Mei brought a few extra pairs of cotton socks to Zhao Dongmei.
Zhao Dongmei smiled and accepted this.
After she bought the clothes, she didn't delay much and left directly, so that there would not be many customers in the store and Gao Mingcheng would have to distract himself from taking care of himself.
She was carrying the clothes and was already thinking about wearing them tomorrow. Then she would wear them to the work. Then she casually mentioned that she bought them at Xinxin Clothing Store. Those colleagues in the work who love beauty must definitely come to Xinxin Clothing Store to check it out. .
And as long as you come here and are willing to spend money, you will definitely be able to buy the clothes you like here.
I have been busy today and didn't even have time to prepare lunch. Gao Mingcheng brought back three bowls of rice noodles from the restaurant outside. The three of them took turns hiding in the backyard to eat them in a hurry, and then continued to entertain the guests.
The clothing store has a complete range of categories and has fitting rooms, so some young women are happy to hide in the fitting rooms and change into new clothes.
In the market, when some aunts buy clothes, they take off their clothes and try them on, but for young and shy girls, this is somewhat embarrassing.
Xinxin clothing store solves their worries.
At seven o'clock in the evening, there was finally no one around. At this time, most people were at home having dinner with their families.
In later generations, visiting night markets was a new way of pastime for people. Especially in the hot summer, it was good to pass the time while enjoying the cool air while visiting the night markets.
But now, there are still very few people going out at night, mainly because state-owned shopping malls are not open at night, and the salespeople have to get off work at that time.
Moreover, there are very few street lights on the streets and it is dark everywhere. Where can I find the interest in shopping?
Gao Mingcheng and the other three breathed a sigh of relief, while Duo Mei and Gao Shufang slumped down on their chairs, feeling weak.
Many beauties moved their lips, but did not say anything. During the day, they talked too much and laughed for too long, and their faces became stiff and sore.
Gao Mingcheng knew what she wanted to say, so he said, "You guys rest, I'll buy food and come back!"
As the physically strongest man, Gao Mingcheng must take responsibility.
So he walked towards a nearby restaurant.
It was already past dinner time, but there were still customers drinking in the restaurant. Gao Mingcheng ordered three portions of rice and two side dishes, and then returned to his store with the meals.
In the shadow, he noticed a figure flashing past. Gao Mingcheng frowned and stopped. He came to the place where the figure had been. When he stopped there, he saw his own clothing store at a glance.
At night, the three crystal chandeliers in the clothing store are turned on, and the entire store is brightly lit, making it the most conspicuous place in the neighborhood.
People living around were attracted by the light like moths at night, and their eyes couldn't help but look this way. Some naughty children were also running around the door, stepping on the red carpet curiously.
Gao Mingcheng came over with the food. The children who were walking on the red carpet were frightened and ran away quickly because they were afraid of Gao Mingcheng's scolding.
But Gao Mingcheng was not that stingy and didn't have the guts to scold these children.
He just put down the food and silently put away the red carpet. After rolling up the three-meter-long red carpet, he placed it at the door of the store so that it could be laid out again tomorrow morning.
He pulled down the rolling shutter door to block the light leaking out of the store, and then said: "How beautiful, Shufang, come to dinner! After dinner, let's count the money!"
Hearing the word "counting money", the two exhausted women instantly became energetic and struggled to get up from their chairs.
Gao Mingcheng smiled happily when he saw them like this.
After the meal, they really started to count the money. When Duomei opened the bag containing the money and fell down, the large and small bills inside fell on the table and gradually piled up into a hill.
The sound of heavy breathing suddenly sounded, and the surprise on the faces of Duo Mei and Gao Shufang was revealed without any concealment.
