After a meal at Bai's house, Xia Xiaolan and Liu Fen left.
Liu Fen thought she was just here to see a friend, but she didn't know that Xia Xiaolan had initially persuaded Bai Zhenzhu. The Pengcheng Special Economic Zone developed rapidly, and she got involved early in 1983. If she could gain a firm foothold in Pengcheng, Xia Xiaolan would have nothing to worry about in the future.
The two of them were going to do it anyway, and Bai Zhuzhu was going to see the specific situation in Pengcheng at this time.
Xia Xiaolan's earliest impression of Pengcheng was after the millennium. She had never seen the Pengcheng Special Zone in 1983, but she wanted to witness it with her own eyes!
The clothing wholesale market is still so lively.
Autumn and winter clothes are fine. In summer, short-sleeved clothes are called "jin", and trousers are called "battle".
Even if Xia Xiaolan didn't have enough capital for the first time, she never bought cheap products. Some jeans cost 80 yuan for a dozen of 12 pairs, and the wholesale price was only a few yuan. It's hard to say whether Xia Xiaolan's goods are foreign trade products, but the quality is at least a lot better than a dozen 80 yuan jeans.
Looking at it this way, it seems that she doesn't make enough money, but the novel styles and excellent quality make her goods snapped up every time she goes in and out.
Xia Xiaolan wants to buy some cotton clothes.
The coldest winter in Shangdu is several degrees below zero, and you can feel the icy cold wind in November.
The light and warm cotton coats should be able to sell, Xia Xiaolan wanted to buy a batch and go back to test the waters. The woolen coat is foreign, but it is not frost-resistant, and Xia Xiaolan has no plans to give up this market.
But after walking around, there were no cotton-padded clothes on the booth.
After running twice, she also knows that these people can make any money, as long as there are customers who want them, they will definitely be able to fiddle with cotton clothes. Just ask directly, Xia Xiaolan has picked up the goods twice, and the interval between picking up the goods is short, so it can be seen that the goods are selling well, and with her face, the owner of the wholesale booth is very impressed with her.
"Cotton clothes, how much do you want?"
Still the boss who wholesaled sweaters before, his goods are more expensive than other stalls, and the quality and style can stand the test.
There were no cotton coats at his booth, but when Xia Xiaolan heard this, she knew there was something going on.
"It depends on the price, style, and quality If you are satisfied, take 10 pieces first."
I heard that Xia Xiaolan only wanted 10 pieces, and the boss was lazy.
You can't make much money with 10 pieces, so Xia Xiaolan didn't rush, and continued to choose the goods on the booth. Many people's booths are full of those models, but this person's booth often has new styles, which Xia Xiaolan can see in her eyes. The source of the stall owner's purchases is definitely the best domestic garment factory in 1983. at least a leader in trendy design.
Xia Xiaolan only brought 900 yuan in capital for the first time, and she didn't buy much.
The second time her capital doubled, this time Liu Yong contributed 2,000 yuan, and Xia Xiaolan's capital expanded to 5,000 yuan.
She bought more goods every time, and she was hesitant to buy expensive clothes before, but now she doesn't even bat an eye when picking clothes with particularly fashionable styles. With a large capital, there is confidence, and Xia Xiaolan can bear the backlog of costs that cannot be sold for a while.
Seeing that she was calm and not in a hurry, the boss thought for a while and stomped her feet:
"Whether you're coming tomorrow or not, I'll show you some styles."
At most, he would make another trip to the factory, and taking 10 pieces at a time was a small business, and he was counting on Xia Xiaolan to buy in large quantities later.
Xia Xiaolan raised her head, "First calculate the price of what I chose today."
She picked out clothes worth about 1,500 yuan in one go. Liu Fen couldn't tell what they looked like. Some styles seemed too bold to her, but every time Xia Xiaolan wholesaled her clothes, she could sell them. Liu Fen would not dare Blind opinion.
Xia Xiaolan made an appointment with the boss, and went to another place to pick out some pants.
The outfit she wore last time to attract customers was very popular. Apart from the short woolen coat, there were a lot of inquiries about the white leather shoes on her feet. The leather shoes with square toes and thick heels had a special taste, and several female customers chased after them to buy them. Xia Xiaolan couldn't take the shoes off her feet, could she?
She plans to drop in a few pairs of shoes this time.
Xia Xiaolan doesn't plan to let go of explosive products that can be bought from the pockets of women in Shangdu.
Leather shoes are still more popular in the Shanghai market, but Xia Xiaolan brought the goods back from Yangcheng, and those buyers couldn't tell the difference. Leather shoes made of pigskin are hard, and the wholesale price of a pair of shoes is very cheap, but they are not breathable, and the pores of the leather are thick, so they look cheap at first glance.
Cowhide is very comfortable on the feet, and the best is lambskin Don't worry about the latter, it is not popular in China to make shoes at this time.
However, the profits of shoes are very thin. Take the most popular men's "83 shoes" this year as an example. The selling price is only 19 yuan, and the ex-factory price is about 13 yuanIn the wholesale market here, the wholesale price of "83 shoes" is 15 yuan. A pair of shoes only earn a few dollars!
There are not as many styles of leather shoes as women's clothing. Regardless of men's and women's shoes, there are only a few fixed styles.
Department stores sell at a fixed price, so people don't necessarily have to come to Xia Xiaolan to buy. The store sells it for 19 yuan, and Xia Xiaolan will be scolded to death if she dares to sell it for 20 yuan. Forget it, the style on her feet has not yet become popular in the merchants, and the wholesale price is only a dozen yuan. If you bring it back to the merchants, you should add about 10 yuan and it should be able to sell.
Xia Xiaolan only took three sizes of 36/37/38, and most women's feet wear these three sizes of shoes.
Liu Fen kept looking at the bag, for fear that someone would take it away.
With a tough attitude, Xia Xiaolan chose a set for Liu Fen from beginning to end. The sweaters, woolen coats, trousers and leather shoes inside all cost hundreds of yuan at wholesale prices. When did Liu Fen wear clothes worth hundreds of dollars? When she left Xia's house, she brought a few rags with her!
It was Xia Xiaolan who made money by reselling rice eels, bought cloth in Anqing County and asked Li Fengmei to help make clothes for Liu Fen.
Liu Fen has not worn new clothes for seven or eight years, not to mention wearing new clothes so frequently, she waved her hands repeatedly:
"Mom has clothes to wear, didn't she just make them?"
"That's autumn, this is winter!"
Xia Xiaolan paid for it directly. How could her mother have any decent clothes? The two cotton jackets brought out from Xia's house were mended and mended, and the cotton inside turned black. In addition to the woolen coat, Xia Xiaolan had to buy two cotton coats for Liu Fen to wear instead.
Liu Fen couldn't screw Xia Xiaolan.
Just buy it, it's because of Xia Xiaolan's filial piety to her.
Xia Xiaolan hit a wall once and woke up becoming filial and sensible. Liu Fen felt that her life was like a dream. She pulled the new clothes she hadn't taken off and thought, if she was dreaming, God must not wake her up.
Why did Xia Xiaolan bring Liu Fen here?
Do you really expect her mother to help move the goods? She just brought Liu Fen here to see the world, travel far to gain knowledge, buy some new clothes, and take her to eat some Yangcheng delicacies. At the end of 1983, this was the highest standard of travel treatment that Xia Xiaolan could give her mother, such as first-class planes and luxury cruise ships. She does not have such conditions now, and it has not become popular in China.
Airline tickets are affordable, where can I get a certificate from a county-level unit?
If you really want to take Liu Fen on a plane, you can scare this honest rural woman to the ground, so let's do it step by step.
Because the purchase of cotton clothes has not been confirmed, Xia Xiaolan stayed in Yangcheng for an extra day, and the next morning, she took Liu Fen to have morning tea.
