Chapter 5 Opening of Taobao Online Store

Sun Wanhui and Zhang Li are not dealing with each other, this is something everyone knows in the alley.

Sun Wanhui is fine, but Zhang Li does like to find trouble if she has nothing to do.

In the past 100 years, Sun Wanhui and Xu Xing's father Xu Jian moved here, and decided to have their own career, so they had the current clothing store.

At that time, Zhang Li's house was on the same street. It was just opened and everyone sold women's clothing.

But Sun Wanhui's shopping guide skills are much better than Zhang Li. Moreover, Sun Wanhui has learned to make clothes with the old tailor in the town since she was a child. The store not only sells finished goods, but also can receive various handmade orders for customized clothes.

This made Zhang Li's women's clothing store a sudden comparison, and the two of them formed a feud.

Later, Zhang Li knew she could not compare, so she settled for the second best, and began to transform into a children's clothing business.

To be honest, she made a mistake in this step, but she did better and better in the future. Sun Wanhui was not only affected by e-commerce, but also because of the development of the Shanghai Stock Exchange step by step, and various large supermarkets and commercial streets around her were established, squeezing a large part of the women's clothing market.

As a result, the women's clothing business became increasingly difficult to do.

It is now 2012, and the physical store business has not yet seen a decline, but the gradual development of children's clothing has shown signs.

"Hello Aunt Zhang Li." Xu Xing smiled brightly and said to Zhang Li with a simple face. "I think it's better to help my parents' hard work after the college entrance examination, while I'm not in college yet, and experience the hard work of my parents. It's better than staying at home and being lazy. Do you think?"

These soft words were thorny, but after all, it was said by a child. Zhang Li was not good at expressing her expression, but she said a little embarrassedly: "I just finished the college entrance examination, so I don't have to hurry at this moment."

In contrast, Sun Wanhui doesn't like talking to people so much. She just glanced at Xu Xing and said, "This kid is playing a big-tailed wolf here. I was pulled from the bed in the morning, otherwise I would probably be sleeping in."

"Mom, please give me some face." Xu Xing blinked and then complained in cooperation.

"As children, they are all like this, it's good that he's willing to come with him." Zhang Li walked down the steps with a sarcastic look, thinking to her own son that he was sleeping in after the college entrance examination, but she had to come early in the morning to purchase goods. When she looked at the other person Xu Xing, she couldn't help but feel a little envious.

But then I thought about it, Xu Xing likes to be full of face. He is not like her son, who is honest and smart, and his academic performance is better than Xu Xing.

This Sun Wanhui probably knew that her son was not good at studying, so she specially pulled him out to see the world early so that he could get in touch and get used to it early and inherit her clothing store in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhang Li felt much more relieved and her mood turned from shady to sunny.

"I'm almost done with the goods here, so I won't bother you." Sun Wanhui said to Zhang Li.

After saying that, Sun Wanhui pulled Xu Xing away, confirmed the payment with the owners of several stores, took a small truck, and took the goods with Xu Xing, transported them to the door of the wholesale market, and loaded them into the trunk of the car.

The two of them got into the car and drove to the store. Sun Wanhui glanced at her son and was in a good mood.

For some reason, Xu Xing took the initiative to accompany her to the wholesale market today. He just spoke for her and then moved the goods with her. Sun Wanhui felt a sense of emotion, as if her son suddenly grew up overnight.

In the past, when she came to the wholesale market, she was exhausted physically and mentally every time she transported the goods to the car. Although she was tired today, she was not mentally tired at all, and she was even in high spirits.

So much so that she suddenly said, "What kind of online shopping are you doing?"

She felt that her son had grown up and if she had the idea of ​​getting into something new, she shouldn't stop him.

Even if you spend money to learn lessons, it is a kind of growth.

Xu Xing didn't expect Sun Wanhui to let go so soon, and she was a little confused, but she said in surprise: "It's very simple. When I go back to the store, I'll get you a Taobao store."

More than half an hour later, Sun Wanhui drove into their alley and stopped at the door of the store.

The store she rented was about 100 square meters, but it was not that big at the beginning. In the early days, she could only afford to rent a store of more than ten or twenty square meters. Later, the business gradually started to reach its current scale.

But Xu Xing looked at the store and knew very well that without external intervention, the area of ​​this store would only become smaller and smaller in the future.

After helping my mother move all the goods in to the storage room at the back of the store and place them in different categories, Xu Xing quickly sat in front of the computer at the front desk.

This computer is an old computer that his father Xu Jian retired from the factory. It is completely placed here to serve as a storefront. Sun Wanhui knows nothing about this thing and can at most mine-sweep.

Before, Xu Jian wanted to teach her how to use Excel to do accounts, but one didn’t have the patience to teach, and the other still felt that it was safer to keep the account book on black and white on paper, so it was left alone afterwards.

After turning on the computer skillfully, Xu Xing did not rush to take action, but helped his mother clean up the store first. After opening the store door and starting business, he pulled Sun Wanhui to sit in front of the computer.

It is impossible for him to keep in charge of this in the future, so it is better to let his mother participate from scratch.

"that's all?"

Under his patient command, Sun Wanhui entered Taobao's official website, registered a store, and then, under Xu Xing's selection, confirmed a set of clothes.

It includes a small light strap, a small sweater jacket that can protect you from the sun, and a narrow waisted skirt.

After taking photos of these three things, Xu Xing started pricing.

"The cost of suspenders is 15 yuan, small sweater is 20 yuan, skirt is 20 yuan." Touching his chin, Xu Xing knocked the price on the computer, "Suspension is 69 yuan, small sweater is 88 yuan, skirt is 98 yuan."

"Is it a little expensive?" Sun Wanhui frowned, "The suspenders are only sold for forty or fifty in the store, the small sweater is more than sixty, and the skirt is only seventy yuan. You must be so expensive, and someone will buy it?"

"Isn't there still a shipping fee?" Xu Xing said with a thick face.

"Didn't you booked free shipping?"

"Yes, free shipping, so it's a little expensive."

Sun Wanhui looked at Xu Xing speechlessly, not knowing where this kid learned the attributes of a profiteer.

But she felt it was okay. After all, there were many more scams in physical stores than this. Even Sun Wanhui herself was looking at people to serve food. If she looked rich, she would make a special offer.

Later, she added labels and prices to the store, so she didn't do this again, but her gross profit margin was generally above 60%.

However, Xu Xing set a relatively high price online, and Sun Wanhui was a little dissatisfied with him and felt that it was not easy to sell.

But only Xu Xing knew that at this stage, some merchants entering the market still made money, and the only difference is whether they make a big profit or a small profit.

His requirements are not high. On average, he can sell a few pieces every day, which means an extra income of several hundred yuan, and tens of thousands in a month.

Even if he doesn't say it, Sun Wanhui will be more concerned about this matter.

"We can set a set price." Xu Xing thought for a while and added, "A set of two or two can be five yuan cheaper. If you buy a whole set of three pieces together, it will be ten yuan cheaper."

"I think it's very hungry." Sun Wanhui shook her head and said she was not optimistic.

Usually, people who come to the store to buy clothes, but the starting price is much more ruthless. Sometimes, a piece of clothing that costs 70 or 80 can be cut to 20 or 30 at the first time, let alone a price of 5 or 10 yuan.

Xu Xing smiled and said nothing. Sun Wanhui said he didn't understand customers. Xu Xing could only say that his mother didn't understand e-commerce online shopping and the Internet.

"Mom, how about we bet?"

"Um?"

"If I sell clothes online, half of the profit will be my pocket money."

"Okay." Sun Wanhui agreed.

In her opinion, even if she can sell it, the turnover of a few thousand yuan a month is as high as a turnover. If the cost is removed, it is estimated that the profit will be only one or two thousand yuan at most, and it is not even that much.

Half of the profit may be only a few hundred and one thousand, so it is just right to use it as pocket money for Xu Xing.

Moreover, the money this kid earns himself, and he also feels accomplished when spending it. Sun Wanhui thinks this idea is good.

"Then don't regret it." Xu Xing said with a smile, "I will earn 100,000 or 80,000 a month by then. Don't feel sorry for you, mom."

"You can make money if you have the ability. I'm not too happy yet." Sun Wanhui curled her lips and said, "Don't daydream, business is not that easy."

This kid is still too young, so he should make a fall and let him know how difficult it is to make money.
