"We are selling fabrics. Come on, sister, take a look at this material I have. The quality is very good. It is most suitable for making coats and dresses."
Suddenly a familiar voice came to her ears. Ling Xiaowei crossed the crowd and saw Aunt Huang setting up a stall under a tree on the roadside not far from the Cultural Palace.
There was a mat spread on the ground in front of her. The mat was covered with colorful and floral fabrics.
"Boss Huang, I finally found you." Ling Xiaowei pushed the tricycle to Huang Shan and said with a smile.
Huang Shan squinted her eyes slightly and looked into the light. First she saw an outline, and then she saw a palm-sized white face. The pair of small pear dimples at the corners of the mouth were something she would never forget.
"It's you! Little girl!" Huang Shan was particularly happy, and her eyes lit up when she saw Ling Xiaowei.
"It's me, the boss lady." Ling Xiaowei said with a smile, then squatted down and flipped through the pile of fabrics in front of her. They were all made of good materials, and the colors and patterns were very nice.
"Madam boss, I went to your store. Why is your store closed?"
Huang Shan smiled, with a very bitter smile on her face, "Hey, in business, there are profits and losses. Didn't I lose some money? This store was given to someone else."
"That's really a pity, but it doesn't matter, boss lady, you are so good, you will open a bigger store in the future." Ling Xiaowei said with a smile.
"Thank you for your kind words, little girl, are you here to buy cloth today?" Huang Shan changed her face to a smiling face. Her chubby face seemed to be much thinner.
Ling Xiaowei squatted and flipped through the cloths on the stall. These cloths were okay, but there were too few varieties. "Madam, are there any other materials? I want softer and thicker materials."
Huang Shan thought for a moment, nodded and said: "I really have the material you mentioned here. The material is soft and the clothes made from it are crisp and stylish."
"Where is it? Show it to me." Ling Xiaowei's eyes lit up.
"It's in my warehouse. I'll take you over now to take a look." Huang Shan said and started to pack things. "It's been there all morning and there's no business. It's hard to do business now."
I followed Huang Shan to the warehouse of her home. This warehouse is actually a room in her home. Her home is behind Zhao Shopping Mall. It has a small courtyard and a two-story building. Next to the main room downstairs is a warehouse for storing fabrics.
"Hey, the fabric business is hard to do these days. I can't sell these materials, so I can only leave them to breed insects~" The helplessness in Huang Shan's tone made people feel sad.
"Look, this is the kind of material I'm talking about. The color is bright and beautiful. It can be made into clothes and is comfortable to wear." Huang Shan brought a piece of material over and strongly recommended it to Ling Xiaowei.
Ling Xiaowei touched it and found that it was indeed a very good material. The fabric was very soft. As the weather gets warmer, it would be most suitable to use this material to make some coats.
"Madam boss, I want this material, and I also want those kinds of materials, cut three meters each." Ling Xiaowei pointed to several kinds of materials and said.
This time, she decided to make a few more pieces of each style. This time, she bought more than a dozen materials.
"Little girl, you bought so much so you can take it back." Seeing Ling Xiaowei's thin body, Huang Shan was really worried that she would tire the child.
"It's okay, I can ride it." Ling Xiaowei said with a smile. As she spoke, her eyes wandered around the warehouse. There were a lot of materials in there, including winter ones and summer ones. She touched several styles.
When it came to chiffon materials, I suddenly had an idea in my mind: "Madam boss, let me help you sell your materials!"
"What? You help me sell it together?" Huang Shan said a little surprised, "Little girl, I appreciate your kindness. You are so young, you should still be in school. Good boy, study hard. Studying is the most important thing.
.”
"No, boss lady, what I mean is that from now on I will use your materials to make clothes and sell them. For every piece of clothing sold, I will give you a commission." This is what she could come up with.
A win-win approach.
If these materials never see the light of day, they will really get stuffy and rotten in this warehouse, which would be a real pity.
After hearing Ling Xiaowei's words, Huang Shan's eyes lit up and she immediately became happy. She hadn't sold a single piece of material in the past few days, and she was worried and panicking. She had already prepared for the worst and let these things go.
The cloth just became dull and rotten. If she couldn't pay back the money, she sold the house.
Now after listening to Ling Xiaowei's words, I feel like I have hope again.
I really can’t believe that these words came out of the mouth of such a little girl. This child is about the same age as her daughter. I didn’t expect that she is so good at doing business. It’s really incredible!
"Little girl, are you telling the truth?" Huang Shan said excitedly.
Ling Xiaowei nodded, "It's just that I may not be able to sell all your goods at once, but I believe that if these cloths are made into clothes, they will definitely be sold."
"Okay..., little girl, please call me Xiaowei. I heard your friend call you that last time." Huang Shan excitedly grabbed Ling Xiaowei's hand, then pulled her to the door and said, "You said so."
If it’s true, then if I sell your fabric this time, I won’t charge you any money. I’ll calculate the money after you sell the clothes.”
"Okay! But we have to make it clear about the sharing." Brothers have settled accounts. No matter what kind of relationship the partners have, before working together, they must make it clear who gets how much money, otherwise what will happen next
, there will be endless troubles after the meeting.
Huang Shan was very surprised, her eyes became more appreciative, and she said happily: "Little girl, you are really extraordinary. Okay, let's make it clear about the division."
Ling Xiaowei nodded and asked to write it down in black and white.
Huang Shan entered the house, took paper and pen from the desk in her daughter's room, and wrote a cooperation letter. She provided the fabrics, and Ling Xiaowei was responsible for making the clothes. The clothes sold were divided according to pieces. Finally, after some calculation and bargaining
After that, a 30-70 split was reached, with Huang Shan getting 30% and Ling Xiaowei getting 70%.
"Aunt Huang, the validity period of this cooperation is one year. After one year, no matter how much cloth you have left, I will not take over it again. By then, we will find another way of cooperation."
Years later, the quality of the cloth here may not be suitable for making clothes.
Huang Shan was a little hesitant, but she still agreed. She was basically giving up on these cloths now. If she could find a new life with Ling Xiaowei, she would still be willing to give it a try.
After negotiating the cooperation, it was time to select fabrics. Ling Xiaowei selected a dozen materials suitable for spring and summer, "It's almost noon, Xiaowei, why don't you stay for lunch! My daughter will come back from the cram school later.
She really likes the clothes she bought from you last time." Huang Shan said with a smile,
