Chapter 17: Taobao Online Store

After a lively meal, Gu Yu took the initiative to help wash the dishes and chopsticks, Qian Qinghong cut a few apples and pears, and asked Gu Yu to bring them to the coffee table in the living room, and the two of them ate separately.

Gu Yu came to the living room and sat down on the sofa next to Gu Songrui, gave his father a blank look, scolded "little rabbit cub", pouted his face and moved to the side, making room for Gu Yu.

Gu Yu smiled and picked up a toothpick, gave his father a mouthful, and lay on the sofa watching TV with his legs crossed.

The color TV in front of the coffee table is playing "News Network", "Oh Oo ~ ", the nineteen-second opening song that the people of the motherland are familiar with.

"Good evening, everyone, today is Monday, May 8th, ......"

The hosts are old partners Luo Jing and Xing Zhibin, most of the post-00s estimates don't know, but as the pillar of CCTV who grew up with 80 and hosted "News Network" for more than 20 years, he was a household name at that time.

In terms of popularity alone, the so-called top performers in later generations all had to kneel down and call their grandparents, to give an easy-to-understand example, Luo Jing unfortunately died of illness and was buried in Babao Mountain.

"Get up, lift your legs,"

Qian Qinghong carried the mop, looking at Gu Yu's crooked and lazy appearance, and was angry, "I don't stand or sit, I don't sit or sit, I lie down everywhere, as if I have no bones." ”

Gu Yu got up with a bone, lifted the coffee table diligently, and kicked away the sticky Erha again.

Hey, why do you use the word "again"?

(Erha: "Wangwang!") Convex (•̀_•́) convex")

Seeing his mother holding the mop and carefully dragging every corner to it, Gu Yu put down the coffee table and asked curiously:

"Mom, didn't you just mop the floor in the morning? How to drag it again at night. ”

"Make clothes."

Qian Qinghong, who was mopping the floor and wiping it with a rag, was in no mood to take care of his son, and said angrily, "Today to celebrate your work, the store was closed early, and there are still a few customers' orders left, so I am in a hurry to catch up." ”

After returning to Feicheng from the magic capital, Qian Qinghong worked everywhere for a period of time, and finally picked up her old profession again - tailor, rented a store on the commercial street not far from her home, opened a tailor shop, and fulfilled her dream from childhood to adulthood-

There's plenty of free time to design lots and lots of beautiful clothes.

As a veteran craftsman with more than ten years of tailoring experience, Qian Qinghong became a little popular with his ingenuity and some new clothing styles learned from the magic capital factory. The monthly business is really good, and the girls on the ten miles and eight streets are slowly becoming famous.

However, in the next few years, with the rise of the e-commerce industry and the influx of large chain stores in Feicheng, with more monopoly prices and fast and convenient logistics, the grass mustard store has gradually collapsed.

With income and expenditure that could not be offset and Gu Songrui paralyzed in bed, Qian Qinghong simply closed the store, announcing that the hard work and dreams of several years of hard work were completely bankrupt.

Gu Yu touched his chin and sat absentmindedly on the sofa, thinking about how to save his mother's dream that was about to be shattered.

It is impossible to swim against the current, and Gu Yu is not a head iron, in Ma Yuan's introduction-

The rise of the e-commerce industry and large chain stores is called the generation of new things, and the gradual decline of small and micro textile stores is called the demise of old things, which is the basic trend of change and development of things.

Only by conforming to the historical trend of the times can we become bigger and stronger and create brilliance, and now the key is how to better persuade my mother to transform and upgrade early.

The older generation can often follow their children in small things, but when they encounter big things, they are very stubborn. Whether this is good or not can only vary from case to case.

Qian Qinghong has a slight cleanliness habit, and after wiping the floor smooth and shiny with a rag, he spreads the cloth on the floor of the living room, and uses flat painting powder to design the style of clothes.

I have to say that my mother Qian Qinghong's craftsmanship speed is not to be said, and she is also the piecework champion in the Modu Sewing Factory, and several parts of the clothes have been settled.

Qian Qinghong held a two-handed large sewing scissors, and quickly cut the clothes along the drawn outline.

"Mom, your craft, in the past, you had to be a well-known embroiderer."

Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear. Gu Yu followed behind his mother and picked up the cut clothes parts in a good way, while being kind and seductive.

Qian Qinghong snorted, shook her head and glanced at Gu Yu, "The old lady's craftsmanship still needs you to say~", but the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Parents, a little praise from their children, they don't care about it on the surface, but behind the scenes, it can make them happy for a long time.

"Mom, do you know the Taobao store? It's the one that often appears on the news recently, I heard that you can make a lot of money, or we can open one in our house, it's free. Taking advantage of Qian Qinghong's tired rest, Gu Yutu was poor.

Taobao was officially launched in July 2003, and in order to quickly occupy the leading position in the domestic personal trading market, it made a commitment of "opening a store for free for three years". If you seize the opportunity now, you can still seize the last train at "zero cost".

"Pull it down, vain thing." Qian Qing glanced at Gu Yu and hated the education of iron and steel,

"The old Wu family on East Street is well-informed, and I heard that I opened a store on the Internet, but when I receive and pay, I can only use what 'Fu Bao', and I also have a magic weapon. Without a bank fold, can this thing be trusted? I lied to you children. ”

"Mom, it's 'Alipay'." Gu Yu corrected with a smile.

In the era when smartphones were not yet popular, ordinary people regarded virtual networks as tigers, and even produced many rough and barbaric actions, typified by Yang Yongxin, the "King of Thunder and Lightning".

"Mom, Alipay can be bound to a bank card, and through it is actually like a bank transfer, and if there is any economic loss, you can get full compensation."

Talking about the Taobao information that Gu Yu searched with his mobile phone, such as the new slogan "You dare to use, I dare to pay", and the new "full compensation" system that came out last year. Tune it to your mother.

Qian Qinghong couldn't twist her son's business enthusiasm, carefully looked at Taobao's preferential regulations, and suddenly felt that this seemed to be indeed a good opportunity to sell clothes, a little moved and a little entangled.

In the traditional business thinking handed down by the ancestors, the down-to-earth buyer and seller of "hand-to-face payment and hand-to-hand delivery" is a matter of course.

Mother and son are connected, Gu Yu understood Qian Qinghong's hesitation, and hugged his mother to strike while the iron was hot:

"Mom~, try it, it doesn't cost money anyway, don't you want to share the beautiful clothes you worked so hard to design with more people to enjoy?"

At this time, Gu Songrui, who was listening on the sidelines, acted as a background board, and said domineeringly:

"Don't be afraid, wife, as long as you're happy, it's not a problem if you don't have money."
