Chapter 4 Familiarity with the Market
Political Commissar Zhou was very dissatisfied with Zhang Wei’s tone:
"Isn't Lu Haoting's wife?"
"Political Commissar, you don't know. She is just a big shrew. It's so ugly to curse people. I'm really worried that she will point at your nose and scold you!"
Zhang Wei told Political Commissar Zhou the rumor he had heard. After hearing this, Political Commissar Zhou frowned and angry, and taught him a lesson:
"She's words and behaviors are not what you said at all. Don't just follow the crowd and put them on the hat."
Zhang Wei felt very wronged. What was he trying to do? He was afraid that the political commissar would suffer losses and was scolded.
Zuo Jingyan didn't know that Zhang Wei knew her, and after getting off the car, she felt like she was walking into an era TV series.
Narrow streets, asphalt roads, street lights with a sense of age, green postboxes, supply and marketing cooperatives, production means of production stores, food stores and modern high-rise buildings are completely different worlds.
There are some small vendors doing business on the roadside. The bun seller just opened the lid of the pot. The buns that just came out of the pot were steaming hot, and the fragrance penetrated into their noses. Zuo Jingyan's stomach began to sing an empty plan, and she was hungry!
I am penniless and have to stand up even if I’m hungry.
There are a lot of things to buy, but the prerequisite is to sell your hair first.
Zuo Jingyan looked around and found a woman with perm hair and asked for directions:
"Comrade, do you know where the barber shop is?"
"The state-owned barber shop is located in Sandao Street, walk forward to the intersection and turn left."
Seeing that it was a beautiful little girl, the enthusiastic elder sister gave her a very enthusiastic guide.
“Is there a personal barber shop?”
Zuo Jingyan was not busy leaving and asked her again.
In her previous life, she started her career by relying on hairdressing skills. Later, she learned beauty technology and became famous, she opened a beauty salon school, leaving outstanding talents to use for herself, and her business grew bigger and bigger, and developed into a national chain beauty industry.
She did not stop learning because of her career achievements. She studied for her own doctor's certificate and went to Korea to study medical beauty. She returned to China to establish a medical beauty cosmetic surgery chain and established a cosmetics factory with its own brand, making money and making money.
Last night, she thought about her own development route and making money from women is always the easiest.
She can cut and sew, and she can open a tailor shop, but if she wants to buy a sewing machine and an ironing machine to open a tailor shop, she also needs to use fabric buttons and other things, which requires a lot of money.
She also has a good cooking skills, and she can make spicy hot pot, Tianjin soup dumplings, Northeastern cuisine and Hui cuisine, but the catering industry is too hard to handle by herself and requires a lot of capital.
Finally, I decided to work as a development salon in my old business, with the smallest cost. I could open a small shop with a pair of scissors, a fader, a mirror, a chair, and a set of perming tools and perming water.
She can also expand her business, bring her bride makeup, and then make some homemade cosmetics to sell in the store.
But you still have to be familiar with the market first, just by selling your hair to investigate.
The hair collection price in state-owned stores is low, so she doesn’t want to go there, because her personal hair salon will be relatively high. In addition, she also wants to see if the people recognize individual hair salons?
When the eldest sister heard that she was looking for someone to open a barber shop, she said:
"Yes, it's also on Sandao Street, opposite the department store, called Meijun Barber Shop, but her house is expensive. It only costs eight yuan for me to perm my hair in a state-owned store, but it costs fifteen yuan for her house!"
Zuo Jingyan knew that everyone recognized the public at this time and was afraid that the personal barber shop would not be doing well, so she asked her elder sister:
"Is her business good?"
The eldest sister smiled:
"It's not just good, that's great. You have to queue up from morning to night. You probably can't get it at this time."
Zuo Jingyan asked with a smile:
“It’s still a queue?”
"The hairstyle she made at home looks good, just take my hair. Perming is cheap in a state-owned barber shop, but the perming hair is old-fashioned, so her perming looks young."
The eldest sister pushed her hair and showed off her proudly.
"Yes, yes, this hairstyle is very suitable for the elder sister."
It is not worth the effort to coax people to death, and anyone is willing to listen to good things.
In fact, my eldest sister's hair looks old, and if she designed it herself, she would definitely make her ten years younger.
"Yes, haha, I'll take you there so you won't be able to find it."
After being praised by Zuo Jingyan, the eldest sister smiled and stopped buying vegetables and enthusiastically guided her.
"Sister, do you know where to buy tickets?"
As soon as he got to chat with this elder sister, Zuo Jingyan began to ask sensitive questions.
If she wants to make candied haws for her things, she has to buy candy. At this time, it seems that she is still planning economical. If she wants to buy candy, she needs sugar tickets. Sugar tickets are more difficult to make than food tickets.
The eldest sister lowered her voice and said to her:
"Girl, you have to go to the black market to buy it. The price is expensive. What tickets do you want to buy and tell me that my sister's family works and has many tickets."
"I want to buy some sugar tickets, meat tickets and food tickets, and kerosene tickets."
Zuo Jingyan mentioned the ticket she wanted to use. Although she had no money now, she had her hair after selling it.
Why does such long hair have to be sold for dozens of dollars?
"My sister has it all, I'll take it to you when I go home."
My eldest sister is so arrogant that she will go home and get it for her soon.
"Sister, I have to wait a moment. I will sell my hair first and then I can only buy a ticket after I sell it for money."
Seeing that my elder sister was about to go back to get it, Zuo Jingyan pulled her to tell the truth.
"You want to sell your hair? What a pity if you sell such good hair?"
The eldest sister just noticed Zuo Jingyan's two big braids, thick, black and shiny. She was still envious of her. She just had less hair to perm her hair.
Zuo Jingyan smiled:
"The hair is too long and it's so full that it's troublesome to wash your hair. If you sell it, you can still exchange it for some money."
It’s a pity for her:
"It won't be much for selling to a barber shop."
As the two of them were talking, they had already turned to Sandao Street, and they could see the department store from afar. The barber shop that my elder sister mentioned was the one I mentioned.
The eldest sister took Zuo Jingyan to the door of the barber shop and did not enter the house. She stopped and said to her:
"No, it's this barber shop. I'll go back to find you tickets. When you sell your hair, you'll go to No. 126 Maoer Hutong to find me. My name is Qin Shufen."
"Okay, thank you Sister Qin."
Zuo Jingyan smiled and thanked her, and then looked at the Meijun barber shop after seeing off her elder sister.
The store is not big but the location is good. It doesn’t have to worry about the business without any business when it comes to the department store.
Outside the door is the red, white and blue rotating columns placed in the barber shop, and the plaque of the Meijun Barber shop is hung on the door.
The store door is open, and there are many people in the house, including perm hair and haircuts. The two long benches in the store are full of seats and waiting standing. It seems that the business is really good.
The owner of the barber shop is a woman, she looks in her thirties, wearing a blue coat, her face is flushed. She doesn't have time to answer her right when she is so busy, so Zuo Jingyan is standing at the door of the barber shop waiting.
After looking at it for a while, I felt that the boss of this hair salon was average and could not design the head shape for the customers, nor would he cut his hair according to the face shape and temperament. The hair cut was the same, and the speed was quite fast.
Zuo Jingyan was watching the excitement, and the room started fighting.
The shop owner Liang Lamei was too busy and forgot to unplug the power supply to the perm customers. When she remembered, she pulled out the pin and took off the perm cap and saw that her hair was completely burnt.
When the customer saw that his hair was permed into a mess, he stopped working and pulled the boss to ask for an explanation:
"Look at you making my hair perm, I'll compensate me."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I won't charge you any more."
Liang Lamei asked not to charge money to solve the problem when she was in the wrong. The customer became even more angry when he heard this, and pulled the boss's collar and refused to give in:
"Did I have the money short of this? If I don't solve it, I'll find someone to smash your store."
