Chapter 4 Try it without breaking the bank
After being reborn, in addition to dealing with the sudden English college entrance examination, Xu Xing only had one thing left in his mind.
It's about making money.
It was really the family experience in his previous life that left a deep impression on him, especially when he was in college, his father was laid off by the factory, and his mother was hit by online e-commerce because of the physical store, and the business was not as good as a year.
So much so that the once well-off family could not afford to pay the tuition fees of the second college.
This also led to Xu Xing, who was still having fun in college, completely woke up, began to study seriously, went to graduate school to study at Min University, and had a high-quality job after graduation, and the situation at home slowly stabilized.
Now that he is doing it again, Xu Xing was just thinking about making money, but because of the interweaving of information, he has not yet been able to sort out a clear context.
But early in the morning, when he heard that his mother was going to the wholesale market, Xu Xing suddenly came to his senses.
Although he currently has no connections and no funds, so he can't touch many things, but his parents do!
It is impossible for him to tell his parents directly, hand over the family's money to him, and promise to come back a hundred times next year.
But if you can properly guide your parents to catch a few small outlets, it can also allow families who are about to fall downhill in the near future to turn the bow of the boat in time and sail towards a wider sea.
Thinking about it like this, Xu Xing's thinking suddenly became clear.
"You stay in the car and don't move, I'll go buy some breakfast."
Sun Wanhui said to Xu Xing in the co-pilot, then pushed the car door and walked towards the breakfast shop on the side of the road.
"Ten fried dumplings and a pack of soy milk!" Xu Xing added.
"Got it."
A few minutes later, Sun Wanhui returned to the car with the bag, stuffed breakfast into Xu Xing's arms, and started the car and rushed towards the wholesale market.
At this time, it was half past five in the morning, the vehicles on the road were scarce, the breakfast shop on the street was steaming, and the sanitation aunt was in place early and was already sweeping the road.
The car broke through the morning fog and drove steadily.
Xu Xing was eating fried dumplings and drinking soy milk in the co-pilot, and when he passed by the Internet café last night, he subconsciously paused, recalling the appearance of Yan Chi vinegar holding steamed buns, and the movements of chewing fried dumplings in his mouth were half a beat slower.
"Mom, come, open your mouth, ah~"
Taking advantage of the red light, Xu Xing picked up a piece of fried dumplings and stuffed Sun Wanhui in her mouth.
"I'll do it myself." Sun Wanhui said, but she still opened her mouth to catch the fried dumplings handed over by her son, "You will learn to drive in the future, you can't eat while driving, you know?" ”
"And what are you doing now?" Xu Xing was speechless, "Negative textbook? ”
"You fed me this." Sun Wanhui ate fried dumplings as a matter of course, swallowed them, and then said, "When you have the ability to drive, let others feed you, such as finding a girlfriend." ”
Boy.
I didn't go to college, and a day after the college entrance examination ended, I began to urge to find a partner.
"Let's buy the goods, let's not talk about this."
"I haven't asked you kid yet." Sun Wanhui was changed the topic by him, and couldn't help but wonder, "How did you think of going to buy goods with me." ”
"The moment I finish the college entrance examination, I am an adult in the real sense, and it is necessary to understand the business situation of my family." Xu Xing said seriously.
"Speak human words."
"I want to find a summer job to earn some money part-time, Mom, what do you think of me?"
"Part-time wool picking, right?" Sun Wanhui glanced at him, but she didn't refuse, just as it was her son's whim.
I guess I didn't last a few days before I stopped.
Or you may go to the wholesale market and lie flat.
Don't look at her running a clothing store is not bad, but how can she not be tired of doing business, and she is only a young man like Xu Xing, who thinks that opening a store is just waiting for someone to buy things, just sit and collect money.
The two of them rushed to the Chaoyang wholesale market in Shanghai at almost six o'clock.
Breakfast was solved while waiting for the red light on the road, and as soon as they arrived at the place, the two got out of the car and went straight to the wholesale market.
Sun Wanhui's clothing store mainly makes women's clothing, and generally does not make big brands, what is important is the basic quality and price of clothes, and the clothes in the store are basically maintained at a price of less than 300.
Different from Xu Xing's imagination, Sun Wanhui came to sweep the goods not one by one, after walking into the crowded wholesale market, she directly found three wholesale stores, and after a simple chat, she reached a preliminary intention.
Apparently an old customer.
Xu Xing followed his mother's ass in a decent manner, and when he saw some goods, he touched them and asked the boss what the price was.
For example, an ordinary T-shirt, with a wholesale price of 10 yuan a piece, can be sold for forty or fifty in the store.
In the future, the more popular kind of small knitwear and women's casual shirts, most of them only cost 20 yuan a piece, and after being transported to the store, they can often be sold for seventy or eighty, and even a little black can be sold for one hundred and fifty or sixty.
The key depends on whether the shopping guide's mouth is strong.
Sun Wanhui is a famous mouth in their commercial street alley, what she is best at is selling clothes, and when ten customers enter the store, at least half of them have to take out their wallets.
Before 2010, when clothing stores were relatively best, Sun Wanhui's income was even much higher than that of her husband, who was the assistant manager of the production department in the factory.
But Sun Wanhui, who is middle-aged, probably never imagined that it was not the competitors of other clothing stores that broke her in the end, but the unprovoked torrent from the virtual network.
"Mom, many young people are shopping online now, such as that Taobao, have you heard of it? Business is doing very well. Xu Xing took advantage of Sun Wanhui's time to go to the next house to buy goods, and tried to brainwash his mother.
"Isn't it all fake?" Sun Wanhui frowned.
In the commercial street, the shopkeepers and owners also have their own circles, and Sun Wanhui usually doesn't know anything about it.
But for things like online shopping and e-commerce, everyone in the circle is in a state of rejection and vigilance, and there is a natural condescending chain of contempt.
"Try it and it doesn't cost anything." Xu Xing rolled his eyes and suggested, "Mom, you think, let's just register a store on Taobao, take some photos of the clothes and send them up, someone will make more money if they buy it, and no one will lose anything if they buy it, you say yes." ”
In the 12th year, Taobao has not yet entered the era of paid stores, and still implements the strategy of opening stores for free, hoping to attract more merchants to settle in.
If you wait a year or two, Taobao will start to open a store for a fee, and then try to convince Sun Wanhui, it will be another situation and difficulty.
But Sun Wanhui has opened a physical store for more than ten years, and people's thinking has indeed fallen into rigidity, and she is unwilling to make changes, preferring An An to earn her share of the money, which makes her more down-to-earth.
But just as she was thinking about how to refuse her son's sudden enthusiasm for business, a familiar voice came from the side.
"Wanhui, you're here to buy too?"
Sun Wanhui and Xu Xing turned their heads in response, and saw Zhang Li, the proprietress of the children's clothing store opposite their store, greeting the two with a smile on her face.
"Is this your son? I've just finished the college entrance examination, why didn't you have a good rest at home, why did you come to this kind of place? ”
