Xue Ling laughed and said: "Don't worry, I will do what I can."
Liu Ying couldn't hide her pride and said to Ahu's mother on the side: "Since marrying Lingling, my family has been getting better and better day by day! Look, not long after the store opened, a phone was installed immediately!"
Ah Hu's mother was extremely envious and said: "How did you find your wife here? I asked my Huzi to find her quickly! It's enough to have her half as good as her!"
Everyone laughed.
Chen Min shouted from next door: "There are too many guests, come and help!"
Ahu Ma and Cheng Tianyuan hurried over.
Xue Ling remembered her home phone number, dialed the area code, and then added her home number.
Soon, the call was connected!
It was Xue's father who answered the phone, saying he had just gotten off work.
"Your mother also went to the factory to help in the afternoon, and is busy in the kitchen now. Is there something wrong? She just called yesterday, why did she call again?"
Xue Lingxi told him about installing a new phone and asked him to quickly write down the number.
Xue's father was very happy and said: "Remember it immediately! I will give it to your mother in a while and ask her to memorize it."
"Wait!" Xue Ling smiled and handed the microphone to her father-in-law.
Cheng Muhai clumsily held the microphone and shouted happily: "Old Xue! Can you hear me?"
"I heard it! It's very clear!" Dad Xue responded cheerfully.
Xue's father is concerned about his arm. He heard that he is in better health than before and can work with his prosthetic limb. Now he is with his son and daughter-in-law, eating well and living well.
"Business in the store is very good. Workers come here in large numbers after get off work. There is no one around at noon, so everyone takes a rest. The place I built is wide and bright, and I can still take care of business. It's really great!"
Father Xue was also very happy and asked them to take care of themselves and not be too tired.
"Don't rush to do any work, let A Yuan and Lingling do it."
Cheng Muhai chuckled and said: "They are busy! Lingling is the hardest worker. If you don't feel bad, the old lady and I still feel bad!"
Xue's father also laughed, and quickly called Xue's mother, asking her to also chat with Cheng Muhai and his wife.
After chatting for several minutes, both parties reluctantly hung up the phone because they were worried that the phone bill would be too expensive.
Ah Hu came and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are so awesome! After selling the clothes, you immediately installed a phone! My uncle and aunt will probably be too happy to sleep tonight!"
Everyone also laughed.
Ahu said again: "Sister-in-law, when will your clothes be sold again? Many people are asking!"
"Yes, yes!" Chen Lan echoed: "My sisters and classmates are all clamoring to buy it."
"There have been people waiting outside the store for the past two days, and there was a big group today!" Liu Ying explained with a wry smile: "I advised them to come back to buy in the future. They have a rest for the past few days, but they still refused to leave and said they could just buy one piece. I
I explained to them for a long time, but they were told that there was not a single item left in stock. They were always disappointed!"
Xue Ling explained: "When my dad gets the goods, I will continue to sell them. I have no time recently and have to catch up on some part-time translators."
Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and said: "Daughter-in-law, I don't feel comfortable leaving you alone at home as a translator. You eat all three meals here, and we can take care of you. How about this! Don't open the shop door.
It’s too big, so I put a piece of paper on it saying it will be sold next month, so that customers don’t have to make several empty trips.”
Xue's father said that it would be next month to have a few boxes, and they would be sent from the train station by then.
In this case, it is still necessary to retain the customer base to avoid letting people run away empty-handed and disappointed.
"Okay!" Xue Ling agreed.
Early the next morning, Xue Ling wrote a piece of paper and stuck it on the door of the store, indicating that he would continue to open the store next month.
Then, she quietly hid in the shop to translate.
When meal time arrived, Cheng Tianyuan called her to eat. Sometimes he would bring noodles in and the young couple would eat together.
When the workers were at work and the store was not busy, Cheng Tianyuan would come over to help her copy the final draft.
The days were full and busy, and another week passed quickly.
One day at noon, Xue Ling was taking a lunch break and was woken up by a phone call!
Since the phone was installed, except for the call to my mother's house in Imperial City that night, Ahu only called once. The rest of the time it was as quiet as if it didn't exist.
The sudden sound startled her!
Xue Ling rubbed his eyes, stepped forward and picked up the microphone.
"...Hello? Who is this?"
"Your father!" Xue's father said angrily: "You slept in? Ah? It's already past two o'clock!"
Xue Ling chuckled and explained: "I have been working as a translator recently, and the mental work has been very hard. I have to sleep a little longer at noon, otherwise my forehead will hurt."
After hearing this, Dad Xue reluctantly accepted this reason.
"Being a translator is too tiring, so you don't need to do too much. I have a batch of clothes here, and I plan to send them to you to sell them. You should still be able to make some money."
"What?!" Xue Ling suddenly became energetic and asked excitedly: "Dad, what clothes? The factory made so many wrong clothes?"
"Crow's Mouth!" Dad Xue scolded with an angry smile: "Don't curse your dad! This batch of clothes is the accumulation of goods from the factory of an old friend of mine, mainly spring and autumn clothes. He made a batch of export goods last year
, I made two profits at first. Who knew there would be a Gulf War in the Middle East, and the cargo order was unfortunately cancelled."
Xue Ling frowned and asked: "Exported? It's not foreign fancy clothes, right? I guess they won't be sold here."
"No." Dad Xue explained: "They are all domestic clothes. It is said that they are mainly sold to overseas Chinese, and the styles are all designed by our businessmen. He wants to sell the goods and collect some workers' fees, so he asked me to help
Ask."
Xue Ling thought for a while and asked carefully: "How many pieces are there? Are they all women's clothes?"
"They are all women's clothing." Father Xue reported a very accurate number: "Fifty-two thousand pieces."
Wow! Such a huge amount!
Xue Ling asked seriously: "What price are these clothes? How much workers' fees will he charge? More than that, I guess. I still want to recover some of the capital."
Father Xue smiled and secretly praised his daughter for being smart.
"If people are not greedy, how can they work so hard to make money? Everyone in the world is looking for profit, right? Anyway, if you don't take the opportunity to sell things, if the style becomes too old after two years, then it will be worthless. Naturally, you have to sell it quickly.
, how much can you earn! With such quality, if a department store can sell it for more than 20 yuan, it will cost at least 20 yuan. He said that the labor fee of 5 yuan per item is enough."
“It’s too expensive!”
Father Xue laughed and said, "When someone makes a bid, it naturally gives you room to counter-offer. Don't you understand this?"
Xue Ling smiled bitterly and murmured: "The quantity is too big... Dad, how can I have so much capital! Even if it costs three yuan a piece, I can't buy it!"
Her current total net worth is only about 5,000 yuan. It is no problem to buy a house in Rongcheng. But if she wants to swallow such a large amount of goods, it will be difficult to make a living without rice!
