Chapter 65 (2/2)
On the fifth watch of the twelfth lunar month, the biting cold wind seems to blow people through.
Mei Xiaoran shrunk her neck, put on her scarves, hats and gloves, and then rode with her father to Fuyuan town
Fuyuan town is 20 kilometers away from the county, and it takes an hour by bike.
Although most of them rely on bicycles in this era, Mei Xiaoran is also a person who hasn't ridden a bicycle for many years, and she is out of breath just a short distance on the road.
Mei Zhonghua was deeply distressed. ”Ran Ran, I knew I wouldn't let you come. My father is not unable to buy goods. Do you feel tired?”
”Dad, I'm going to go myself. It's nothing to do with you.”
On the way, Mei Xiaoran felt pain in her waist and buttocks. She was so miserable to run this time. In recent days, her parents have been running back and forth every day. It's really not easy to earn money!
After arriving at Fuyuan Town, Mei Zhonghua leads Mei Xiaoran to the market. Now Fuyuan town is not as prosperous as later generations, and there are few stalls, and there are not many merchants in total.
Based on her experience, Mei Xiaoran selects some clothes that she thinks are suitable for children The price of children's clothing is cheaper than that of adults' clothes. It costs at least 20 yuan for an adult's winter clothes. However, children's clothes are only more than 10 yuan, which is nearly half of the price. Mei Xiaoran mercilessly approved 100 pieces of children's clothes, and took more than 1000 yuan for children's clothes alone. The rest is to let Mei Zhonghua into adult clothes, shoes and hats and so on, in any case also spent a clean hand.
Mei Zhonghua was worried, ”Ran Ran Ran, we don't know if we can sell out all these children's clothes?”
”Dad, you can rest assured that the children's clothing will be sold out. Now we'll stock up. I'm afraid we can't get in any more if we want to buy in a few days.”When she went back, Mei Xiaoran's legs seemed to be filled with lead, so tired that she couldn't even pedal.
Fortunately, there are a lot of downhill on the way back, and I can save a little bit of energy.
In this way, it took Mei Xiaoran to ride back for more than an hour.
Li Mingyun stood at the door of the shop and looked south. She was relieved when she saw the two men back at 8:10.
When she got home, Mei Xiaoran asked her mother to hang her children's clothes in the most conspicuous position.
From the ninth day of the lunar month, the business of Chinese stores began to decline, not as fierce as the momentum at the beginning.
The salesmen of state-owned stores walk several times a day at the door of Zhonghua store, gloating, as if waiting to see the jokes of Zhonghua store.
On the evening of the ninth day of the lunar new year, a total of 50 or 60 pieces of goods were sold, and only less than 500 yuan was sold. However, the profit was the highest in history, close to 80 yuan, higher than the gross profit of 15%.
This result made everyone very satisfied. Although the number of pieces sold before was large, the profit was very low. No wonder the state-owned stores ridiculed it as a loss making cry!
On the tenth day of the first day of the lunar new year, nearly 400 yuan of goods were sold, with a profit of 65 yuan. In the next few days, although there were high and low, the gross money was about 4500 yuan, and the average profit was more than 15%. Mei Zhonghua made another replenishment in the middle. As it was only replenishment, a total of 110 pieces of goods were purchased, which cost more than 1000 yuan.
On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, Mei Xiaoran's brother and sister had a final exam. After the exam, Mei Xiaoran arranged for her father and mother to purchase goods tomorrow. She said that it would soon be the new year's day, and all the goods at home were sold. This was the last purchase before the year, and we must stock up all the goods that should be stored.
