Rebirth 1983: Starting From Taking Back the Family Property Chapter 134

Chapter 134 Xinxin Clothing Store

Although Lu Jiaxin is not short of money, she is not happy to have no money every day. So after the first lunar month, she called Lu Jiajie over and asked him what his plans were next.

Lu Jiajie said: "The clothes on Gaodi Street are cheap. I'm going to buy some goods and sell them back."

Lu Jiaxin glanced at him and said: "I'm going to open a clothing store. I have to go to class and can't run around and work hard. I need help with a lot of things in the first month. Come help me and learn how to choose clothes."

Lu Jiajie nodded and said, "You have good taste and the clothes you choose are all good-looking. If you open a clothing store, you will definitely make money."

　　When they were in Yangcheng, Lu Jiaxin wanted to open a clothing store in partnership with him, but he was lax and Ma Lili cared about her natal family. If the two of them formed a partnership, Sister Ma would come directly to get the clothes due to her shameless character. So he helped me with the work like last time, and she paid me.

The brothers settled the accounts, and Lu Jiaxin said: "Two hundred wages, plus a hundred hundred bonus?"

Lu Jiajie thought it was too much, but she knew Lu Jiaxin's temperament: “Just do as you say.”

After running out for three days, Lu Jiajie and Lu Jiaxin said: "Xinxin, I heard that there is a store selling clothes that is 20% lower than others. I also went to check it out. The quality of the clothes and shoes is very good."

 “What about the style?”

 Lu Jiajie said the clothes are very nice.

Lu Jiaxin went over to check out the goods the next day, but fortunately she didn't have high expectations. The colors of these clothes are very bright, but the styles are old-fashioned, and many of them have flaws. I really agree with that sentence, cheap products are not good products.

"gone back."

Two days later, through Su Heming's relationship, Lu Jiaxin found a bad guy named Brother Hu. The clothes and shoes sold by this tiger brother are of good quality and fashionable, but the price is a bit expensive. Then I would rather make less money and sell high-quality and beautiful clothes.

Looking at the samples, Lu Jiaxin felt that she had chosen 1,800 pieces of clothing. She also bought more than 800 pairs of socks and gloves.

Lu Jiajie was sweating on his forehead when he read her order. He pulled Lu Jiaxin aside and said, "You have too many goods. Let's get two or three hundred pieces first. If the goods you want are gone, they are not far away. We can pick them up later."

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "The clothes I got are very good in terms of style and quality. If I can sell them, it depends on how much I make."

Brother Hu saw that she had chosen a lot of goods and said generously: "You were introduced by Brother Heming, so I'll give you a penny less."

Lu Jiaxin was not willing to pay a price that was only 10% lower. After some bargaining, the price she got was 30% lower than the originally quoted price. However, the boss also has conditions, that is, unsold goods cannot be returned and the payment must be paid in full.

Lu Jiaxin agreed generously.

On the way back, Lu Jiajie said: "Jiaxin, why are you shopping for goods tomorrow? Our shop hasn't been rented yet!"

"No need to rent, I bought a shop on Xiushui Street and asked someone to install it. But this batch of goods will be taken to Guangming Road first."

Lu Jiajie was shocked and asked, "Jiaxin, when did you buy the shop and when did you decorate it?"

“I bought it in November last year, and then asked someone to fix it and put it away. The location is very good, just in the fifth room at the entrance of Xiushui Street.”

The two people were talking when the fat aunt's loud voice sounded outside again: "Jiaxin, someone called you and said they would call back in ten minutes."

After Lu Jiaxin responded, the fat aunt went back.

Lu Jiajie then remembered what Asheng said to him a few days ago: "Jiaxin, I heard that many people have called you recently. Who calls you often?"

 In the past, she would explain to Lu Jiajie, but now Lu Jiaxin can't: "There have been a lot of things lately. Fifth brother, you don't have to worry about these things, I can take care of them."

 She will not let everyone know about her trip to Hong Kong City until it is finalized. Needless to say, everyone must be opposed to it.

Lu Jiajie saw that she didn't want to talk, so he stopped asking.

Lu Jiaxin thought about the inconvenience of having to run out to answer the phone all the time, so she couldn't help but said: "Fifth brother, I want to install a phone at home, what do you think?"

 It is convenient to have a phone installed to communicate with the outside world. When I go to Hong Kong City in the future, I will be able to contact Xue Mao Xiaoqiu and others from time to time.

Lu Jiajie said: "To install a telephone, you first have to go to the telephone office to apply. Once the application is approved, you have to wait for the master to install it. There are many people applying now. If you don't find connections, you won't be able to install it this year."

Lu Jiaxin said: "I will apply tomorrow. If I have a phone at home, I don't have to go to the canteen to answer the phone. When I answer the phone there, I don't dare to say many things for fear of being overheard."

Lu Jiajie smiled and said: "Since you want to install it, apply first. I will find someone then. I hope it can be installed in the spring."

“No need, just follow the rules. We will have a master to install it when we are ready.” Lu Jiaxin said. With Lu Jiajie's temperament, she would most likely go to Lu Jiaguang for help. She didn't want to trouble Lu Jiaguang with anything. It's not an urgent matter, so it doesn't hurt to wait.

The facade Lu Jiaxin bought is not only in a good location, but also has a large area, covering 46 square meters. During the renovation, ten square meters were separated from the roof to serve as a warehouse.

Xue Mao and Xiao Qiu had been waiting in the shop for a long time, and saw three people rushing forward to help. By the time everything was unloaded and moved into the store, it was already past one o'clock. Lu Jiaxin was so hungry that her stomach growled: "Fifth brother, Xue Mao, let's go eat first and come back later to sort out."

After dinner, Lu Jiajie asked Lu Jiaxin to go back: "You can't bear it. Let's organize it here first. You can teach us how to match clothes tomorrow."

Lu Jiaxin was indeed tired, so she didn't show any restraint and went home with Xiaoxiao. When the clothes were delivered to the store, Lu Jiajie thought it was about to open. But she didn't expect that there was none at all. Lu Jiaxin invited Sister Chen and her sister-in-law to come over. Sister Chen and her sister-in-law ironed the clothes, and Sister Chen changed the clothes according to Lu Jiaxin's requirements. Xue Mao followed Xiaoqiu, who had never done it before, so he learned from it.

After Lu Jiaxin made it according to Lu Jiaxin's request, she taught Xiaoqiu how to match the clothes. It took almost half a month to prepare.

 Lu Jiajie said he needed to find a date to open the business, but Lu Jiaxin didn't want to wait and just decided on Sunday.

Sister Chen thought this was too hasty and said, "Xiao Lu, you can't do this. You have to choose an auspicious day to open the business."

 Lu Jiaxin said casually: "I checked the almanac, Sunday is the day to open.",

Sister Chen has nothing to say.

Lu Jiaxin looked at her and said with a smile: "Sister Chen, some people's clothes may need to be changed. Xiaoqiu and Xue Mao looked at the store and they were fine, but they couldn't change or mend the clothes. If you are willing, I hope you can Stay in our store.”

Some clothes need to be changed, such as trousers that have become longer or the waistline needs to be changed. Lu Jiaxin wanted to change them for free, which could be regarded as an invisible benefit to customers. Of course, labor is cheap now, and it would not be cost-effective to do it like in later generations.

 Sister Chen really wanted to take this job, but she didn't have time.

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "You don't need to be in the store all day long, just from 1 to 5 p.m. The new clothes sold in my store can be altered by customers for free. If they have old clothes, they can bring them over for you to alter. , you can charge a certain fee.”

Since he only works four hours a day, Lu Jiaxin plans to pay him 30 yuan in wages, regardless of food and transportation expenses.

Sister Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. It only takes more than half an hour to get to Xiushui Street from home. After finishing all the work at home in the morning, I can free up time to help in the shop in the afternoon.

After weighing it in my mind, I thought it was okay. Sister Chen said, "Xiao Lu, I'll discuss it with my family at night and I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

"Can."

Lu Jiaxin and Xue Mao Xiaoqiu then said: "Today is Thursday, we will open the store on Sunday, and there are still two days left. During these two days, you can go out and distribute flyers."

 “Distribute leaflets, what kind of leaflets are you distributing?”

Lu Jiaxin showed them a flyer she had written yesterday, thinking that Xue Mao could not read well and started reading it: "Buy one piece of clothing and get a pair of socks, three pieces of clothing and get a pair of gloves; if you buy more than 300 clothes, shoes and socks, 10% off, and 15% off for orders over 500 and above.”

The clothes she picked were all of high quality and fashionable, so the prices were on the high side. The least amount of clothes is 18 yuan, the most is 198 yuan. However, the discount prizes are available only three days before the opening, and then disappear.

 Xiaoqiu felt dizzy after hearing this.

Xue Mao reacted the fastest: "Then if it's over 300, can I get something as a gift with a 10% discount?"

Lu Jiaxin said: “On top of giving something away, we also get a discount. Anyway, the more you buy, the more you get, the more you buy, the more you buy.”

Qian Xiaoxiao feels that it is easy to make mistakes when calculating accounts like this: "This is too troublesome. Either give things directly, or give them a discount directly. It is easy to get confused when giving clothes and discounting them."

Lu Jiaxin thought it would be better to have one more person in the place where the money is collected, and this person would be responsible for preparing gifts: "Aren't Lu Zhang and Zhenzhen not going to class on Sunday? Ask them to come and help then."

 Lu Zhang is in the first grade of junior high school, and Zhenzhen is in the fourth grade. Today, unlike in later generations, children have to attend tutoring classes and have a lot of homework. The two siblings can finish their homework in the evening when they don't have to go to tutoring classes, so it's not a big problem to ask them to help. Especially Zhenzhen, this girl can count very quickly.

Xue Mao felt bad.

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "What's wrong? Lu An can't help but feel nervous studying in his second year of high school, but Xiaozhang and Zhenzhen are not nervous studying. This is also a kind of exercise for them."

 She is actually the same age as Lu An, but she was originally very smart and went to school at the age of five, and later skipped a grade. Otherwise, like Lu An, she would still be in her second year of high school.

Of course, this matter requires the consent of the parents. Lu Jiaxin called Wang Xiaojie directly to ask.

Of course Wang Xiaojie would not refuse. This was an experience and exercise for the child, but she was worried that Lu Zhang and Zhenzhen would not be able to help and would be in the way.

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "It's okay. I was worried that some customers would steal clothes and asked Xiaozhang to help keep an eye on them. Zhenzhen is responsible for allocating products to customers,"

“It doesn't matter if you make a mistake. Anyway, socks are only 10 cents and gloves are only 50 cents.”

Hearing this, Wang Xiaojie no longer had any worries and said, "Xinxin, I have to be on duty on Sunday, otherwise I will go over to help."

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "It's okay, plus there are six people including Lu Zhang and Zhenzhen. The store is not big, so it can be busy."

Wang Xiaojie smiled and said: "Jiaxin, what's the name of your store? I will recommend it to my colleagues and ask them to buy it in your store. You don't know that the set of clothes you bought for me, they all said it was beautiful. I compliment you on your good taste."

She wears work clothes at work, but when a colleague got promoted and treated her to dinner, she wore those clothes. Everyone praised how good it looked and asked where they could buy it.

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "The name of the store is Xinxin Clothing Store. It's not the Xin in my name, but the Xin in three golds, which means great wealth."

Wang Xiaojie thinks that this name is very good, and she hopes to make a fortune when doing business!
