This result made Mei Zhonghua and his wife both excited.
After returning home, Mei Zhonghua announced this to the children.
"Dad, mom, I'm so proud of you!"
Although Mei Xiaolei had no idea about this aspect, his father said that he could make more than one hundred a day. This is an ironclad fact!
"Your sister also has credit. If it weren't for her good idea, I wouldn't have thought I could manage it like this."
Mei Zhonghua laughed cheerfully.
"Dad, mom, I have a suggestion. Our store just opened this week and definitely caused a sensation in the county town, but the business will definitely decline slowly in the future. You have to be mentally prepared. I guess the business will wait until the second lunar month. The improvement will only occur after ten, so don't worry about it."
"I also thought of this. I told your mother about it just now." Mei Zhonghua looked at this clever girl with approval, and said her own thoughts. "There are still twenty or thirty items in our store. Clothes and pants, except for forty or fifty pairs of gloves, the other goods are basically empty. Now everyone generally has no money, and the ones that are easy to sell are cheap money. I plan to buy less clothes and pants when I restock... There are more small things Go in."
Mei Xiaoran thought for a while and said, "Dad, I don't think your idea is very correct. Our sign says that the clothing store must be based on clothing. Other things are considered assembling, and the main product must be clothing!"
"Then you mean to buy more clothes? But there are still twenty or thirty clothes in the store!"
"Dad, don't just focus on adult clothes. You should also put on children's clothes. Now someone is not thinking about adding clothes to their children during the New Year, but adults can save it if they can."
"Yeah! Why didn't I expect it!"
Mei Zhonghua glanced at his daughter-in-law, and said suddenly, "Just like your mother, I would rather not add clothes for the New Year, but also get two new clothes for your sister and brother!"
Li Mingyun took the words over, "Isn't it, during the New Year, I want to let the children get dressed in brand new clothes. Adults just look at the situation. If you have money, you can buy one, even if you don't have any money."
"Then I suggest my dad go down and put in some clothes for children, only clothes for children in their 70s or 80s. Children who are too young might do it by themselves.
Older children can make do with adult clothes, and I think clothes for this age are suitable. The best thing is to wear a coat that is similar to a smock. Now everyone is wearing a thick cotton-padded coat. The coat is dirty and easy to wash. It can be worn as a single garment in spring. "
Li Mingyun asked in surprise, "If this is the case, when the children have single clothes to wear in the spring, they don't need to buy any more clothes. It won't be good for our future business, right?"
"Mom, you think too much. The children grow up fast. Spring is the fastest time of the year. How many goods can you sell? Are you afraid that people won't buy our clothes in spring?" Mei Xiaoran She thinks her mother is weird and cute, and her thoughts are quite complicated.
"Then do as Ran Ran said, and I'll buy the goods tomorrow."
Mei Zhonghua was full of enthusiasm in the past two days, and he didn't know that he was tired, so he wanted to make money.
"Dad, I will go shopping with you tomorrow morning, tomorrow is Sunday anyway!"
Of course, Mei Zhonghua wants her girls to buy goods together, but she is also a little worried, "That far? You have to ride a bike and bring the goods when you come back. Can you?"
"Dad, do you look down on me too much? I can!"
On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the biting cold wind seemed to blow people through.
Mei Xiaoran shrank her neck, dressed her scarf, hat, and gloves neatly, and then followed her dad on a bicycle to Fuyuan Town...
Fuyuan Town is 20 kilometers away from the county seat, and it takes an hour to ride a bicycle.
Although this era mainly relies on bicycles for transportation, Mei Xiaoran is also a person who has not ridden a bicycle for many years, and was out of breath shortly after he was on the road.
Mei Zhonghua felt distressed when she saw this, "Ran Ran, I knew I wouldn't let you come. Dad couldn't buy the goods alone. Does it make you tired?"
"Dad, I want to go by myself, it has nothing to do with you."
Halfway down, Mei Xiaoran felt pain in her waist and butt. She was so uncomfortable when she ran this trip. In the past few days, her parents have been running back and forth every day. It is really not easy to make money!
After arriving in Fuyuan Town, Mei Zhonghua led Mei Xiaoran to the market. Now Fuyuan Town does not have the prosperous future generations, there are few stalls, and there are not many merchants in total.
Based on her experience, Mei Xiaoran has selected some that she thinks are suitable
Children’s clothes... The purchase price of children’s clothes is cheaper than that of adult clothes. An adult’s winter clothes cost at least 20, but children’s clothes are only more than 10 yuan, and the price is nearly half cheaper. Mei Xiaoran cruelly approved a hundred children’s clothes. The children's clothing alone took more than one thousand yuan. The rest is for Mei Zhonghua to buy adult clothes, shoes and hats, and anyway, he also spends the money in his hands clean.
Mei Zhonghua was a little worried, "Ran Ran, we have so many children's clothes, and I don't know if we can sell it out?"
"Dad, don't worry, the children's clothes will definitely be sold out. We are hoarding them now. After a few days, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy them."
When he went back, Mei Xiaoran seemed to be filled with lead on both legs, and he was too tired to kick.
Fortunately, there are a lot of downhills on the return journey, which saves a little effort.
In this way, it took more than an hour for Mei Xiaoran to ride back.
Li Mingyun had been standing at the door of the store and looking south, and she was relieved to see the two come back until 8:10.
After arriving home, Mei Xiaoran asked her mother to hang up the children's clothes in the most conspicuous position.
From the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the business of Zhonghua Store began to decline, not as strong as the initial momentum.
The salesperson of the state-owned store walks from the entrance of the Zhonghua Store several times a day, all gloating, seemingly waiting to see the jokes of the Zhonghua Store.
On the night of the ninth day of the ninth day, a total of fifty or sixty items were sold for less than 500 yuan, but the profit was the highest in history, close to 80 yuan, higher than 15% of the gross profit.
This result made everyone very satisfied. Although the number of pieces sold before was very low, the profit was very low. It is no wonder that the state-owned store ridiculed it as a loss for money!
On the tenth day of the tenth day, I sold the goods for nearly 400 yuan, and the profit was 65 yuan. Although there were high and low prices in the next few days, the gross money was roughly four to five hundred yuan, and the average profit was also higher than%. fifteen. In the middle, Mei Zhonghua made another replenishment. Since it was just a replenishment, a total of 100 pieces were purchased, which cost more than 1,000 yuan.
On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, Mei Xiaoran’s sister and brother will have a final exam. After the exam, Mei Xiaoran arranged for her father and mother to buy the goods tomorrow, saying that it is about to celebrate the new year, and the goods at home are all sold. It's almost there. This is the last purchase a year ago, and we must stock up enough stocks.
