Yu Changle took stock and had less than two hundred yuan left.
I originally wanted to buy some thicker woolen coats, but after asking the boss, a short one costs 60 yuan, and I only had enough money to buy two of them except for the train ticket.
She thought about it and decided to go to Yangcheng again next week. It should be no problem to purchase goods this week plus next week's money.
When he was in Jinbo, Yu Changle felt that his clothing store was quite profitable, but it was obviously not enough to spend the money in Yangcheng.
There is no other way. I don’t have much money to purchase goods in the early stage, so I can only work harder, make more trips, and try my best to roll the snowball.
In order to maximize profits, Yu Changle decided to spend the remaining one hundred yuan. How could he make money without purchasing finished goods?
The stall owner is a good person. When Yu Changle asked about the price of the woolen coat, he didn't respond as readily as he did before to take the goods, so he knew that she had probably used up the money she had for the goods.
Seeing that she was still wandering, he brought out some trendy gadgets to show her:
"Beautiful girl, aren't you interested in looking at these ties? There are also these scarves, they are very popular in the port area!"
The boss speaks fluent Mandarin mixed with Yangcheng dialect. Fortunately, Yu Changle grew up watching Hong Kong dramas in his previous life, so listening to Yangcheng dialect is not a problem.
When I saw the boss taking out two big boxes from under the stall, containing exquisitely crafted ties and silk scarves, my eyes suddenly brightened.
That's right, in addition to making money from expensive clothes, clothing stores also have these inconspicuous small accessories. The unit price is low and the profit is high, which is suitable for her to use all the remaining purchase money.
"Boss, how do you sell this tie and scarf?"
Yu Changle asked the price and started to choose.
She found that the boss had a good eye for purchasing goods. The ties and scarves in the box were of relatively new styles and colors. Boys and girls with gold and silk fabrics would definitely like them!
The boss also wanted to establish a good relationship with her for long-term cooperation, and he would not randomly raise prices, so he quietly said:
"I'll give you two ties and one silk scarf! Don't ask for a price when you go out, otherwise people will say I don't follow the rules!"
Yu Changle understood what he meant, made a silent gesture with his hand, and nodded repeatedly to express his gratitude.
For things like this with low unit prices, the stalls in the market have almost agreed to a price. Everyone sells it at the same price, which means everyone can sell it and everyone makes money. If any stall starts selling at a reduced price, other stalls will have to sell it in order to sell. The goods can only be sold at reduced prices, and in the end no one can get a better deal.
The reason why the stall owner gave Yu Changle this price was to sell her a good deal without making any money from her, and to develop her into a repeat customer.
This Qingyu Changle got it, and he came with twenty ties and scarves, ten of each in steady and lively colors.
After this trip to the Yangcheng Wholesale Market, Yu Changle can clearly realize that the clothing of the 1980s has undergone a lot of changes. It should soon enter an era where a hundred flowers bloom. Not only the colors are farewell to black, blue and gray, but the styles and craftsmanship have also changed. As the business became increasingly complicated, she felt more and more that it was necessary to transform the clothing store.
If there is a chance, I would like to bring Li Mei to Yangcheng to see it!
The stall owner calculated the total and found a total of 864 yuan. He happily gave Yu Changle a zero. In addition to confiscating the 360 yuan for the bell-bottom pants, Yu Changle gave the boss a total of 500 yuan.
The boss felt that this little girl was very good at calculating accounts. Even if she didn't like the bell-bottom pants that afternoon, she had already fulfilled her promise to buy the goods worth 500 yuan.
She can control the funds for activities so accurately, this little girl is definitely good at business!
Knowing that she had to catch the train back to Jinbo, the boss specially found a large snakeskin bag for her and put all Yu Changle's goods in it, leaving room for bell-bottom pants.
Seeing that she was small and struggling to drag the snakeskin bag, he enthusiastically called a familiar tricycle driver to help her carry the goods into the car.
When she arrived at the guest house, she did not plan to carry the goods back to the room, but stored them at the front desk of the guest house.
This is the advantage of living in a military guest house. Not only is it safe, but the staff is also responsible. Speaking of which, most of the staff in the military guest house are military families. It is not a problem at all to help each other and make travel easier.
Yu Changle felt like he had been busy all day. When he saw the clock in the guest house, it was only half past seven in the morning, just in time to have morning tea.
With the important matter of purchasing the goods settled, she felt relaxed and at ease. When the stall owner on Gaudi Street delivered the bell-bottom pants to her in the afternoon, she could take the train back to Jinbo early tomorrow morning.
Remembering that Jiang Yu had repeatedly told her to contact him again before returning to Jinbo, she went to the front desk and called Jiang Yu.
The voice of a middle-aged woman answered the phone. When she heard that it was a girl looking for Jiang Yu, the middle-aged woman opposite suddenly became excited:
"Looking for Jiang Yu, little girl, what's your name?"
Hearing that the person opposite had almost no Yangcheng accent, Yu Changle guessed that it was Jiang Yu's mother. She was Ding Guangyao's sister and her hometown was Jinbo.
Yu Changle replied politely: "Hello, aunt, my name is Yu Changle."
"Yu... Changle, this is a good name and the voice is nice. Jiang Yu is at home, come and play with him!"
Jiang Yu's mother was very enthusiastic and directly invited Yu Changle to her home over the phone.
Just when Yu Changle didn't know what reason to refuse, he heard a confused voice on the other end of the phone:
"Mom, who is it? Are they looking for me? Why don't you call me? You don't know anyone, what are you talking about!"
"Why don't you recognize Mom? The girl's name is Yu Changle, right? I was..."
Before Jiang Yu's mother finished speaking, the phone was snatched away by Jiang Yu who woke up suddenly. He complained angrily:
"Mom! Don't answer my call casually next time! No one will call to find you!"
Jiang Yu’s mother seemed to want to snatch the phone back, and said reluctantly:
"What is your phone number? This is the phone number your dad contacted the telecommunications company to install at home. Why hasn't anyone called me? Your uncle is going to call me!"
Yu Changle listened to the mother and son bickering on the other end of the phone, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up. The trouble Jiang Yu felt at the moment was the happiness she couldn't even hope for.
She didn't say a word to remind her, and just smiled silently as the mother and son bickered for a few more times. Jiang Yu finally succeeded in monopolizing the microphone:
"I'm sorry, Changle, for keeping you waiting for so long. My mother is old and very verbose."
Jiang Yu's mother's angry exclamation came faintly from the other end of the phone: "You little white-eyed wolf, now you think your mother is too old?! Your mother and I are still young! It won't be a problem to raise two more children for you!" "
"Mom! Stop talking!"
Jiang Yu's face turned red, he covered the phone and spoke in a low voice to stop him.
"Changle, are you done with your work?"
Yu Changle smiled happily: "We're done, didn't we say we'd have another meal before leaving? Come on, I'll treat you to morning tea!"
