Chapter 021 The clothing store opens, and the future is bright
The weather in the south is so tormenting, it rains and rains for several days.
Chen Jingshan sat at the door of the store with a small bench, looking at the few people on the street a little helpless.
It's only eight o'clock in the morning, and his shop is ready to harvest customers, but God doesn't help.
From four o'clock in the morning, Chen Jingshan got up and rode a motorcycle to the store, hung up clothes, put up signs, and cleaned the store in a proper manner.
But it rained again an hour ago, which greatly hit Chen Jingshan's plans for today.
There is an exaggerated big red paper pasted on the door, on which are written a few big words: New Era Clothing.
Even though there are few people on the street, people will always hold their umbrellas high and take a look at the newly opened clothing store and the colorful clothes in the doorway.
"Boss, are your clothes expensive here?"
A woman in her thirties, dressed in a blue long shirt and trousers with long hair, stood at the door of the store and asked Chen Jingshan.
She looked at a light blue cotton coat with a small flower embroidered on her chest hanging at the door, and her expression was very fond, but she was afraid that the price would be too expensive, and she was a little cramped.
"Have you ever been to Trois-RiviΓ¨res? Most of the clothes I have here are cheaper than they are there. β
Chen Jingshan got up, glanced at the dress, and picked out a suitable size from behind before handing it to her.
"Everyone else sells this dress for thirty-five, but I have a new store here, and I only sell you twenty-five."
"Can you try it first?"
After hearing the price, the expression on the woman's face relaxed a lot, and she didn't take the clothes from Chen Jingshan's hand, but touched the fabric with her hand.
"It's easy to try on coats, but I don't have a place to try on pants here." Chen Jingshan grinned, a little oily and slippery.
I used to sell yellow eels and practiced the stall twice, and now he is doing this kind of business, and he has all kinds of tricks.
Seeing that the young man was handsome and could talk, the woman blushed and laughed, took the clothes and began to try them on.
"Yo, there's another one here that sells clothes, and the style is much better than the one in Mikawa Clothing, right? It is also estimated to be more expensive. β
"Let's stand aside and see, I'm about to buy one for the man in the family, and if the price is right, I can buy him a decent one."
Three middle-aged women stood at the door of the New Era clothing store, staring at the woman getting dressed.
"The eldest sisters can come in and see what they want to see, and when the new store opens, all of them can be reduced in price."
Chen Jingshan introduced to the three women at the door, and at the same time pointed to the woman who had already put on her clothes and was experiencing it:
"Clothes like this look good on you, right? The original price is thirty-five, but now the new store is only selling for twenty-five. β
"Come in boldly, although the price is expensive, the style is beautiful and the quality is good, and you can be a few years younger when you wear new clothes."
Chen Jingshan shouted hard, and at the same time, he was looking forward to more and more people coming to the store.
The more people there are, the more trading opportunities there are.
Twenty-five yuan is not cheap, pork is only three yuan a catty, and a piece of clothing can be worth more than eight catties of pork.
But at present, Chen Jingshan does not have the capital to sell cheaply.
"Young man, if you try and don't buy it, you won't curse, right?"
One of the women looked at Chen Jingshan with a smile.
Chen Jingshan immediately straightened his face, frowned and said, "My sister! What are you talking about? If you try on clothes, you have to buy what store I will open, just go to the intersection to grab money! β
"Hahaha."
"This young man has a slippery mouth, okay, let's see for ourselves first."
The three women left what they were carrying in front of the shop, and walked around inside, looking here and there.
Chen Jingshan is not disgusted with such a move.
Some businessmen dislike people touching dirty, but they don't know that when people go to the market, they will wash it cleanly, even if they touch their clothes, they will be careful, for fear that they will be dirty and damaged.
At this time, Chen Jingshan looked at the woman who tried on the clothes first.
Sure enough, it was a man who relied on clothes and horses and saddles.
"Sister, you have such a good eye, if you wear this dress you picked back, my brother-in-law will probably have to guard you every day."
Chen Jingshan smiled and took out a plate-sized dragon and phoenix carved mirror from the table to show her the effect.
There is no condition to get a fitting mirror, so Chen Jingshan can only bring his mother's dowry......
"Can there be less?"
The woman touched the sleeves on both hands and looked at Chen Jingshan pleadingly.
"Sister, I won't tell you, I have to buy twenty-three clothes, and I was going to sell them for thirty-five, but you see that it just opened today and it rained, and there is no way to make two yuan for a piece of clothing, so you can't just open and the business is cold, right?"
Chen Jingshan began to sell miserably with a bitter face, and when he saw a pair of men and women standing at the door, he chose to ignore it and continued to look at the woman in front of him bitterly.
"Alright then, do you have a bag here? I bought it. β
"Yes! I'll put it up for you! β
Chen Jingshan hurriedly took the dress from her hand, and took out a plastic bag with milky white printed flowers and the words 'Four Seasons Spring' written on it from the corner of the wall.
There is such a plastic bag in every set of clothes, Chen Jingshan also secretly admires the thoughtfulness of the Sijichun manufacturers, no wonder they can become bigger and stronger!
"Twenty-five dollars, you count."
"Don't count, in the future, the family will buy clothes to me, which is sure to look good and cheap."
Putting away the money, Chen Jingshan handed her clothes with both hands, and then sent her out, if there was a car parked outside.
I'm afraid he'll reach out and help open the door......
After sending off the first customer, Chen Jingshan still ignored the pair of men and women standing at the door looking at the clothes at the door, but turned around to greet the three inside.
"Jingshan, I wasn't bad to you at the beginning, right? Why don't you even call your sister-in-law when you see it now? β
Su Hongyue showed a trace of disdain in her eyes, and said: "Don't think that opening a clothing store is great, the water of doing business is deep, not everyone can open a store to do business." β
Chen Jingshan calmly glanced at Su Hongyue and Su Hongtian, although he wanted to refute, he didn't have the idea of speaking.
Su Hongyue had nothing to do with her own family, she was extremely arrogant, not only looking down on the Chen family, but even the eight generations of the Chen family's ancestors she couldn't look down on.
For this kind of person, Chen Jingshan doesn't like or hate it at all, he just treats her as a stranger.
"If you want to buy clothes, you can come in and have a look."
After saying a word to Su Hongyue and Su Hongtian, Chen Jingshan went to greet the three women again.
"Eldest sister, the clothes in your hand are suitable, women in the city wear this, but their lives are too good, a little fat, they are not as good as you, they must look good in them!"
Chen Jingshan clapped his hands and applauded, and his mouth was sweet.
Seeing Chen Jingshan's unstoppable appearance in the store, Su Hongyue looked at Su Hongtian in embarrassment.
"Brother, why do you think this kid has changed so much?"
"It's not that you want to deceive people into buying his clothes, don't worry, the Sanhe clothing store has been open for many years, this kid dares to have a price with Sanhe clothing, and wait for it to go out of business."
Su Hongtian lit a cigarette and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Su Hongyue.
"Brother, I like that dress, but I don't want to talk to that person, you go buy it for me!"
Su Hongyue pointed to the center of the innermost wall of the store, where an orange casual loose coat hung there.
"What a hassle!"
Su Hongtian walked into the store with a cigarette in his mouth and walked under the dress without saying a word.
"Sister, what size are you wearing?"
He was about to take the clothes, only to think that the clothes were divided into sizes, and it would be a bit troublesome if they didn't fit.
"You take the latter one, you can ask her to come in and try it on the spot."
Seeing Su Hongyue, who was standing at the door and was so angry that her face turned red, Chen Jingshan smiled and pointed to the one behind the dress.
From his point of view, Su Hongyue's body is slightly fat, at least she has to wear an extra size.
Perhaps he didn't expect Chen Jingshan to take the initiative to speak, after Su Hongtian took the clothes, he held back a sentence to Chen Jingshan: "Thank you." β
Two of the three women bought clothes, and one of them looked envious, obviously strapped for money.
After a while, Su Hongyue also tried on the clothes, she wore them directly on her body, and asked Chen Jingshan how much it was.
"It was supposed to sell for sixty, but when the new store opens, you can give forty."
Even in the face of his former sister-in-law, Chen Jingshan still maintained a five-fold price difference.
However, the way of shouting and selling low, even the brother and sister are in business, and if they want to buy, they can't find a perfect reason to bargain, so they can only silently take out forty yuan and leave.
For a day, Chen Jingshan stayed in the store, and the new store opened, although it was raining today, the business was still passable.
In the evening, Chen Yu rode a motorcycle to the door of the store, looked at Chen Jingshan with a smile and asked, "Compared with selling clothes and selling yellow eels, which one makes money?" β
"That must be selling clothes, and the vegetable vendors can compare with the regular army that runs shops?"
Chen Jingshan grinned and began to pack up the shop and prepare to close for home.
"Hurry up, my aunt is already stir-frying, and I deliberately waited until now when almost no one was in the market to start cooking."
Chen Yu also stepped forward to help clean up, and Chen Jingshan took out a cardboard box and began to settle today's turnover.
The money collected from selling clothes is not so broken, and most of them are five or ten yuan.
After counting carefully, what Chen Jingshan didn't expect was that it was sold for more than 400 yuan today, and it was when not many people rushed to the market.
More than 400 excluding costs, net profit of more than 300, of course, he did not include rent and manpower, but it is not bad.
Every month, every three or five is the day of the market in Sanhe Town, a month is about nine days, so that the most poor month has an income of two or three thousand, which is a huge income for ordinary people.
But not enough for Chen Jingshan.
He wants to earn enough 10,000 yuan before the end of the year, 8,000 to Zhang Shiquan, 2,000 to his eldest brother, and he needs money for family expenses and his sister's schooling on weekdays.
Although the eldest brother has been helping himself with his work all these days, Chen Jingshan also understands that he is anxious, and he also wants to find a lasting livelihood.
If the eldest brother is willing, he can help him open a Sijichun clothing store in the next town, so that he can also make some money himself, so that he can also feel at ease.
I am now an agent in the Pengcheng region, and I can be responsible for opening a store, and I can just talk to Liu Qingxuan in the end.
"Jingshan, let's leave quickly when you're done, wait at home."
Cleaning up the hanger, Chen Yu urged Chen Jingshan, who was thinking about something.
Chen Jingshan was not in a hurry, but looked at his eldest brother solemnly and said:
"Big brother, I want to open a clothing store for you to do it yourself, how about it?"
