After a pause, she couldn't help but ask: "Dad, is he willing to take it apart and sell it? For example, ten thousand pieces?"
Dad Xue sneered and said: "They want to sell them in batches without splitting them up. In the clothing market, orders of a few thousand are considered small, usually more than ten thousand. For a large company like this, most orders are more than fifty thousand.
"
Xue Ling chuckled and acted coquettishly: "Dad Xue, how about you help me and say something nice to this uncle and let him sell me the whole batch for three yuan a piece. Then I will pay you in a month..."
Okay ah?"
"Do you think it's okay?" Dad Xue scolded with a smile: "There are still credit accounts in the industry, but they are usually within half a month. If you are really confident to sell such a batch of goods, Dad, I can still help you guarantee it.
Show off your old face."
"Thank you, Dad!" Xue Ling said with a smile: "What about the price? Can it be as cheap as three yuan? You can help me negotiate the price! If possible, I will send you a deposit of five thousand first."
My father introduced me to a reliable person. He must have thought this business was good, so he came to invite her to do it.
Therefore, Xue Ling did not hesitate at all. As long as the other party could lower the price and provide temporary credit, she was quite confident that she would be able to buy this batch of goods.
First of all, spring is here, the season has changed, and everyone has to change into spring clothes.
Secondly, her last experience told her that cheap and high-quality goods will definitely sell well.
Dad Xue said "Yeah" and readily agreed.
"I'm going to help you negotiate the price. I hope it's three yuan, but if it doesn't work, it'll be three and a half. Little silly girl, the quality of this batch of goods is very good. They are all made according to export standards. Even if you make two yuan per piece, the quantity is so
It’s big enough for you to make a lot of money.”
"Thank you, Dad!" Xue Ling chuckled and said, "When I make money, I will buy a big house for my parents-in-law to live in!"
"That's true." Xue's father said warmly: "Muhai has been a life-saving favor to our family. If they can live a good life for the rest of their lives, I will have no regrets. If you make money and don't do good to these two old people, you will be in trouble in the future.
I won’t introduce you to the source of the goods! I’ll let you spend your whole life struggling with twenty-six letters, which will give you a lot of headaches!”
"Don't, don't, don't!" Xue Ling repeated: "Don't worry, when I make a lot of money, I will buy two houses! One for them and one for us. The family will live in a comfortable and bright place. The old man can hear him when he calls and takes care of him.
It’s also convenient to get up.”
"Yeah." Xue's father said, "I'm going to negotiate the price with Ouyang. Just wait for my news and don't go away."
"Thank you for your hard work, Dad! Goodbye Dad!" Xue Ling was so happy that she almost flew up.
With dad as the middleman, this business should be successful.
She hurriedly washed her face and fixed her hair.
The phone rang again!
She rushed over, squeezed the microphone and asked, "Dad, how's it going?"
"Sure." Xue's father said: "Ouyang heard that it was you who wanted it. He immediately said that he would take care of his niece and promised that if the whole batch was given to you, it would be three and a half yuan a piece. Once the deposit is received, he will deliver the goods and he will pay for the freight.
Just pay the balance within one month."
"Three and a half yuan? OK!" Xue Ling readily agreed.
Dad Xue thought for a while and said: "The remittance is a bit slow. I will ask the secretary to take 5,000 yuan as a deposit and ask him to ship it tomorrow. You should receive it in a few days. This will save you a few more days.
"
"Thank you, Dad Xue!"
…
There are more than 50,000 pieces of clothing, which is a very large quantity, and it also costs money. Calculated, it costs about 180,000 yuan.
Xue Ling was afraid that the old people would be worried, and even more afraid of scaring them, so he didn't dare to tell them. He only said that he would have clothes to sell soon.
When Cheng Tianyuan heard this, he was completely frightened!
"Daughter-in-law... our entire Rongcheng population is only a few hundred thousand, and you suddenly bought so many women's clothes - I'm afraid you won't be able to sell that much in a month. When the deadline is up, what if you can't pay in full?"
Xue Ling gritted his teeth and said: "Don't be afraid, just put it off when the time comes. If it doesn't work, I'll ask dad to help me advance the payment."
Cheng Tianyuan was still a little worried, and said in a distressed voice: "The store can only spare two thousand yuan to help you at most. I don't have anything to make money at home, otherwise I can still support you."
"I'm not afraid." Xue Ling said with a smile: "You can help me sell clothes then. I will sell them here, and you and Ahu will have to help me sell them in the nearby county."
When Cheng Tianyuan saw that she was full of confidence, he naturally believed in her.
"no problem!"
That afternoon, Cheng Tianyuan accompanied her to the bank to withdraw money, and then went to the post office to transfer money.
At this time, there was no electronic remittance, and bank remittances were also slow, ranging from ten days to more than a month. On the contrary, post office remittances were faster.
The next morning, Xue's father's secretary called to tell Xue Ling that the goods had been loaded onto the train freight car. He told Xue Ling the approximate arrival time and asked her to remember the train number carefully.
Xue Ling responded and quickly asked people around him to spread the news that the "Popular Clothing Store" would continue to open in a week and would continue to offer great discounts.
She also quietly went to Liu Xing and asked him to write a short promotional article for the clothing store, carefully specifying the address of his store and explaining that high-end imported clothing would be sold next week, and the prices would still be the usual discounts.
Liu Xing often helped write economic articles, so he agreed immediately after hearing this.
"This kind of subject matter is similar to an advertisement! I can write it, but the person who approves it is Deputy Director Zhen. If she stops me, then I will go to Director Liu to discuss it. Whether it can succeed or not depends partly on luck."
Xue Ling smiled and said: "It's okay. Just hand it in after you write it. If it doesn't work, forget it. Remember to take Wang Qing to my store to buy spring clothes, and I will give you a discount!"
"Because of your words, I have to praise you for your extravagance!" Liu Xing laughed.
Liu Xing got the benefit, and suddenly his literary thoughts surged, and he wrote a short article of about 300 words in one go.
Deputy Director Zhen took one look at it and quickly finalized it.
Two days later, the newspaper was printed, and the "Popular Clothing Store" soon became known to everyone and was discussed in the streets.
"I heard it's very cheap! Clothes from big cities are of good quality and only cost five or ten yuan!"
"It is said that it will be open again next week, and many people will definitely go to buy it then."
Two days later, the goods arrived.
Ah Hu found two large trucks and made two full trips before finally getting all the goods back to Café de Coral.
Fortunately, the warehouse is big enough and there is room to store 50,000 pieces of clothing.
Xue Ling looked at the cargo list and explained: "There are five colors and five sizes in total. I will match a pair first, and then I can start selling them."
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but ask: "Don't you need to check?"
"No need." Xue Ling explained: "These are produced strictly in accordance with export standards and are trustworthy. We have sold defective products before, so there is no need to worry about minor flaws."
The publicity was pretty good, and early the next morning, people started coming to buy clothes one after another.
Xue Ling thought for a while and fixed the price at seven yuan.
"The quality is very good, but we can't sell it for ten yuan. We can only sell one or two pieces of spring clothes. We still have to work hard to attract customers with discounts. In addition, we must emphasize that this is an export product and there will be no chance to sell it again in the future, so that customers can grasp it.
Opportunity to buy this time.”
Chen Min's other two sisters came to help, and they carried two large boxes with Ahu to sell in a nearby market.
Cheng Tianyuan left "Caile de Coral" to Chen Min, and took four boxes with his old mother to a nearby county.
