Chapter 318 - 317: Future Saozi
"Xiao Wan, can you bring me around a dozen sets of autumn clothes for older kids tomorrow?""Uh... You got connections?" Lin Wan glanced at Yin Peibai, raising an eyebrow.
"My aunt teaches at a high school. Some high school boarding students sometimes ask her to take them shopping. The other day she came to my house, found out my ’friend’ was selling autumn clothes, and casually mentioned it to the students. Who knew some students actually bought them? Here’s the list, don’t forget."
"Alright. I got it."
"By the way, did you rent the storefront on South Street?" Yin Peibai mentioned Zhang Hanfu.
"Yeah, I rented it."
"Are you going to stay there every day then? It’ll be really cold there in winter."
"I don’t plan to be there often. In the future, I won’t be selling single items, I’ll focus on wholesale to the retailers."
"What about the price?"
"Since it’s wholesale, I can’t sell one piece at a time. For each style, there’ll be a minimum order of ten pieces, and of course, I’ll offer them cheaper."
"Won’t you lose money doing this?" Su Ling wondered.
"This is called ’small profits with quick returns.’ Big volume can make money. Our teacher says next month we’ll start learning to cut and sew clothes. Then you can help me sew clothes too. You’ll be paid 0.5 to 1 dime per garment. How about it?"
"No problem."
"Sure thing. Our salaries are fixed, so earning some extra cash would be great."
Both agreed.o make a sign. I talked to Liu Wei about the business license, and he’s helping us with it."
"That’s awesome." Having connections really smooths things out.
The next day, Han Yi and Lin Wan didn’t go to the shop but went to find someone to make a sign. They ordered a red background with white text sign.
Then the two went to the train station. They kept busy for over a week, selling hundreds of pieces. But this pace wasn’t enough, as the days were getting colder, and if the clothes weren’t sold quickly, they’d be stuck with them until next spring.
Liang Hongmei was also worried for her. On Sunday, she directly took Lin Yinghui, and they set up a stall to help her sell clothes for two days.
Previously, Lin Wan picked out a matching set of light blue couple pajamas for her brother. She asked him to give the female set to Mu Qing.
Who would’ve thought Sister Mu Qing would quickly sell more than a dozen sets of pajamas at school.
She was even more impressive than her brother. Though they’d only met once, Lin Wan genuinely saw her as a future sister-in-law.
This week, every morning, Liang Hongmei brought dozens of clothes, just like at their old casserole restaurant, and set up a clothes rack at their shop entrance to help sell.
While Lin Wan was anxious, at the train station, just as Han Yi went out to buy food, a woman approached her.
"Sis, you’ve been setting up here for quite a few days, haven’t you? Could I ask where these clothes are wholesaled from?"
Lin Wan looked at her doubtfully and didn’t answer immediately. With so many people and mixed intentions at the train station, she worried the woman might be a fraud.
