101: Winter Clothes and Duck Down Jackets (9 More)
The boss was even more surprised than Xia Xiaolan:
"You [Bayi Chinese website www.x81zw.me] even know about winter clothes?"
People in later generations who do not know winter clothing. But it really became popular in the late 1980s. Thick nylon fabrics were used as the outer layer of clothes to prevent water droplets and wind from penetrating. Let’s talk about cold protection first and then keep warm. Same.
Lightweight and warm, the nylon fabric can be dyed in a variety of vibrant colors.
Xia Xiaolan felt a little hesitant as she touched the light and fluffy winter clothes.
Liu Fen secretly pinched it, and felt that the inside didn't look like cotton, and the slippery outside was not cotton. What kind of jacket is this, will they lie to Xiaolan?
"Xiaolan—"
Liu Fen raised her voice, she was timid, and the fear of Xia Xiaolan being deceived overcame timidity and cowardice, that is, being a mother is strong.
"Mom, I'll take a look."
There are all winter clothes, will down jackets also appear?
"Where's the down jacket, can you get it?"
The boss thought about it for a while, "You're talking about duck down jackets, and you have what you want."
Duck down jackets are just emerging, and there were originally such clothes, but they were worn by mountain climbers. They called them "climbing clothes". Ordinary people could not afford them, nor did they know where to buy them. In the past two years, the economy is a little more prosperous. If the common people can afford the price, there will naturally be a garment factory to produce it. The name is duck down jacket. In fact, the technology is not mature, and the duck down part cannot be used as filler alone. Filled with duck feathers.
This person is not at all afraid that Xia Xiaolan thinks it is expensive, duck down jackets are a new thing, but their wholesale prices are not as good as wool coats!
Xia Xiaolan can sell woolen coats, and dare to take more than 10 pieces at a time.
Woolen coats are the most expensive. The quality of what Xia Xiaolan buys is the same as that of a department store, but it is a little cheaper than the ones in the store. In addition, the styles she picked out are so novel that even the tailors in the Shangdu city would secretly steal them. .
The boss guarded the booth and couldn't leave, so he called a friend to help, and after an hour, he brought a sample of the duck down jacket to Xia Xiaolan.
This is a different feel from the cold-proof clothing. Xia Xiaolan touched the hair stalks of the clothes, and she could smell the faint smell of duck feathers under her nose. It was undoubtedly a down jacket from 1983.
Ask about the wholesale price again. The wholesale price of the winter clothing is 22 yuan for men and 20 yuan for women. There are no restrictions on colors and styles.
Duck down jackets are 6 yuan more expensive, 28 yuan for men and 26 yuan for women.
The wholesale price of a duck down jacket is only half of that of a woolen coat... Xia Xiaolan has the urge to put all the rest of the money into winter jackets and duck down jackets. No, these clothes are short, far less expensive than cotton coats or military coats.
Take it back to Shangdu, does anyone really buy it?
Women in Shangdu may prefer to wear woolen coats than duck down jackets with good thermal insulation. Expensive style is known to everyone, and it is not as bloated as winter clothes and duck down jackets.
The little girl wears a thin bottoming shirt inside and a down jacket that goes over the knees or even to the ankles. This style of dressing is not popular yet.
Xia Xiaolan raised her head suddenly, "Does the garment factory you get the goods from produce knee-high duck down jackets and cotton-padded jackets?"
The boss looked at her vigilantly. Is this going to bypass him and get the goods directly from the factory?
In turn, the anger dissipated again. Without an order for hundreds of pieces, the factory would not even give you a machine.
"You are a retailer, and you can only choose these styles as much as you can."
With dozens of pieces, it is indeed impossible to make custom styles. The garment factory has to publish manuscripts, make patterns, and enter fabrics... After all this tossing, let alone dozens of pieces, the output of each model is less than 1,000 pieces. The order doesn't even look at it.
Forget it, she can't make up the money.
Although Xia Xiaolan is confident to talk about an order method of paying the deposit first and then paying the balance, even if you skip the wholesaler link and get the goods directly at the ex-factory price, 500 pieces will cost tens of thousands of yuan, and 1,000 pieces will cost 20,000 yuan.
Scraping her and Liu Yong's property, it is estimated that they will not be able to collect 10,000.
Her uncle's business didn't lose any money this time... Don't worry, don't worry, Xia Xiaolan told herself to calm down. It is easy to make mistakes when you are in a hurry. There are many opportunities to make money.
She wants to develop in the long run, and she is not playing stud!
"Would you like winter clothes and duck down jackets?"
"Yes, take 20 pieces of winter clothes, 20 pieces of duck down jacket..."
Xia Xiaolan took not only the women's model this time, but also the men's model. The stall owner sold thousands of goods in an instant. In a good mood, he took out the goods at the bottom of the press box from the bag of duck down jackets: "And the vest of sheep shearing - do you have some?"
This person is doing wholesale and whole like talking about cross talk, and the burdens have to be shaken out one by one.
Xia Xiaolan didn't even bother to ask the wholesale price: "Take 5 pieces!"
If she can't sell it, she keeps her own clothes. There are five adults in her family... Hey, something seems to be wrong.
Five people have to add Zhou Cheng.
...
Xia Xiaolan has already picked up the goods from the same booth three times. She asked for the address and phone number of the owner's house. The owner's name is Chen Xiliang. I seem to have heard this name somewhere.
Xia Xiaolan didn't think much about it. Chen Xiliang should have made money from wholesale clothing. He has a landline at home. Xia Xiaolan was thinking that sometimes it was just for replenishment, and she didn't need to make a special trip to Yangcheng. In 1983, there was no express delivery, but she was able to do train consignment.
Xia Xiaolan took nearly 4,000 yuan of goods this time, and the remaining cost was 1,000 yuan.
Can you successfully sell the store and simply decorate it? I hope that this batch of clothes can be sold as soon as possible after returning, and the money will be returned as soon as possible.
She and Liu Fen returned to Shangdu, and Xia Xiaolan was not disappointed by Liu Yong's work.
Liu Yong wandered around Shangdu for two days, and had already initially selected two shops.
Liu Fen and Li Fengmei took the time to iron and arrange the goods they took this time. Li Fengmei had never seen such a new style of "padded clothes", but she trusted Xia Xiaolan: "Xiaolan said that it can be sold, but you are just worrying. , the meat and ribs I brought from the village have been salted, and there are two pig feet, I don't know what delicious things are, Xiaolan's girl likes them, so I keep them all for her!"
It is very troublesome to clean up the pig's feet. Use a torch to burn the skin of the skin clean, soak it in water, use a knife to scrape off the black charred skin a little bit, cut into large pieces and simmer with the soaked beans on a slow fire... In winter Eat a bowl, the whole person is very happy.
Xia Xiaolan's cooking skills are mediocre, but she is quite good at this dish. After working in her previous life, the conditions were slightly better. She lived in a single room, and there was no kitchen for cooking. She had a small stove to boil hot water. Soy beans and pig feet are stewed the most, and the craftsmanship is naturally practiced.
Liu Fen is her daughter's slave, and Xia Xiaolan said what she said, even though she also felt that pig's feet were not as delicious as big elbows.
Li Fengmei and Liu Fen were working and chatting, but Xia Xiaolan and Liu Yong went to see the shop.
One is on the "Erqi Square", only a few dozen meters away from the Erqi Tower, the landmark building of the Shangdu.
Another shop is on West 1st Street. Xi 1st and Xi 2nd Streets are the earliest clothing streets in Shangcheng. Now there are clothing stores that have opened, but the clothes they sell are very cheap, and they go the low-cost route.
The shops are now public. No matter where Xia Xiaolan wanted to open a shop, she had to find all the units in the shop before she could rent the house—it would be impossible for a private person to hold the shop, unless it was illegally remodeled on the street.
Liu Yong saw the two shops, neither of which belonged to the illegal reform of private houses, but were owned by large state-owned factories.
