Chapter 153: Making Money by Selling Clothes on the Street
Ruan Qingge told her how much money she spent on buying the house, plus the cost of repairs. After hearing this, Hu Yuezhu smacked her lips and said, "I can't afford it. I can't afford it."
Although he knew that everyone was a poor student, Ruan Qingge still said, "When you start working, save money for a few years and buy a house first."
When you have a safe home, you can also feel at ease.
Because of her words, Hu Yuezhu and her friends started saving money after work, and bought a small courtyard house two years later. When they got together again later, they were all very grateful for her words.
Li Yemei: "Then the first thing I will do when I get to work is to save money. I hope the price of this house won't be too outrageous by then."
On Sunday, several people stayed at Ruan Qingge's house for the whole day, and Huo Beiting returned to school in the afternoon.
Ruan Qingge, Hu Yuezhu and others had dinner before returning to school to continue their self-study.
Spring arrived, the trees turned green, and Ruan Qingge received ten packages from Xu Chunyan.
They were all spring styles that had not been sold out this year, but the sizes were out of stock and the wholesalers didn’t want them, so Xu Chunyan sent them all over.
She believes in Ruan Qingge's ability to sell goods.
So, Ruan Qingge started to appear and disappear again on weekends. Hu Yuezhu and the others were busy learning a second foreign language and had no time to track down her whereabouts. Ruan Qingge was the most idle person in the entire dormitory.
Ruan Qingge would go to the intersection with the heaviest traffic on Saturdays at noon, and then change places and go to the night market in the evening.
Nowadays, some people go out to play at night. Her clothes are newer than those in department stores, and the styles from the south are very popular.
It’s no problem to sell a package in an hour.
As long as Huo Beiting was not in training, he would come to help, pulling packages, and like Ruan Qingge, he would choose crowded intersections or places not far from the supply and marketing cooperative.
The two of them were busy for two months, selling goods every weekend, rain or shine.
Not only was all of Xu Chunyan's inventory sold out, but all of the inventory sent by Zhan Hongxia was also sold out.
Ruan Qingge also asked them to work overtime to make all the remaining fabrics from the factory's spring season. When the time comes, she will sell them at a counter-season discount, which will surely be even more popular.
These days, Ruan Qingge has taken a fancy to a shop and posted a note for rent. If she rents it, she can ask Li Yemei to help sell goods during the summer vacation, and she will pay the salary and commission.
After selling the goods, Ruan Qingge went to the shop, found the owner, and talked about the rent.
Seeing that Ruan Qingge was so young, the other party thought she was asking for fun and became a little unhappy.
"Comrade, my shop is in a good location. What do you want to do with it?"
Ruan Qingge knew that the other party had concerns: "Comrade, I used to sell ready-made clothes in front, and I rented a shop because I didn't want to be exposed to the wind and sun outside."
After hearing what Ruan Qingge said, the shop owner looked around carefully. He also heard from his wife that there was indeed a girl selling ready-made clothes in the past two months, and her business was very good. Could it really be her?
Knowing that the shop owner didn't believe her, Ruan Qingge took out one of the remaining goods she had sold and said, "This is my goods."
When the shop owner saw that the clothes in Ruan Qingge's hand were still unpacked and were indeed very similar to the ones his wife bought, he believed it.
"How long do you want to rent it for?"
Ruan Qingge: "Three years. If you still rent it after three years, I will renew the lease."
Unexpectedly, the shop owner was very happy to hear that the lease was long-term. He said, "Okay, I'll draft a contract. You can come back tomorrow to pay the deposit and rent."
Ruan Qingge: "Okay, I'll be there on time at nine tomorrow."
After Ruan Qingge left, the shop owner closed the door and went home, "Wife, someone is going to rent the shop today."
"How is it, are you satisfied?"
"How can I not be satisfied? Our shop is in such a good location, but the person who rented the shop is a little young."
After expressing his initial hesitation, the shop owner's wife also became a little worried.
"She said she was the lesbian you bought clothes with at the previous intersection."
"It's her. She's very efficient and not the kind of person who's hard to talk to. She has a good personality and does things in a generous way."
"Then let's rent this shop to her."
"Okay, don't cheat me too much. It's not easy for a young girl to do business. Who knows what will happen in the future these days."
"know."
The couple found someone who knew how to draft contracts and made a contract in triplicate. Some spaces were left blank to be filled in after they finalized it with Ruan Qingge tomorrow.
After drafting the contract, the couple began to pack up. As they were packing, they felt a little emotional.
Once I leave, I don’t know when I will be able to come back.
Is there any chance to return?
I can't leave. What if the policy changes again? I was lucky I didn't get criticized last time, but I don't know what will happen if it happens again.
The son was urging them to sell the house and the shop, as he would live abroad and never return.
But the old couple couldn't bear to do so.
They thought of renting out the shop and leaving the house empty first. If the situation outside becomes really bad, they will come back.
The next day, Ruan Qingge arrived at the shop on time with the money, and the middle-aged couple were both there.
"Comrade, this is the contract. Please take a look at it. If you have any questions, please raise them and we can discuss it together."
Ruan Qingge read it carefully. It was obvious that the contract was written by an experienced person. There was nothing to complain about. "This shop is 120 square meters in total, and there are a few rooms in the back. The rent is calculated based on the area of the rooms and the shop. What you proposed is very reasonable. I have no problem with it."
The rent for one room is two hundred and forty yuan a year. There are four rooms in total including the warehouse. If calculated by area, the rent for the shop in front is less than one thousand yuan a year, or less than one hundred yuan a month.
In fact, the price was quite high, but Ruan Qingge was attracted by the fact that the shop had rooms at the back.
There is a living area and a well, so people can live there and cook their own meals. It's very convenient.
The most important point is that Ruan Qingge found out that the couple was planning to go abroad and might not come back.
They will definitely deal with this shop in the future, and she will get the news first.
When the time comes, she will just buy the shop.
Seeing that Ruan Qingge was sincere in renting the shop, the two people's impression of her improved a lot.
After signing the contract and filing it, the formalities were completed. The couple took one copy and the witness from the subdistrict office took one copy. The couple gave the key to Ruan Qingge and said, "Comrade, I wish you a prosperous business."
Ruan Qingge: "Thank you, and I wish you all the best."
When the couple returned home, they received a letter from their son, asking them to sell their shop and house, remit the money, and that the son would not be returning.
Unexpectedly, their son brought up the matter again. The old couple was in a dilemma. “What should we do? Sell it or not?”
"If you really don't want to come back, then sell it."
His wife's words made the man fall into deep thought. If he sold the house and shop, there would be no turning back.
We don't know what it will be like there. At their age, they really can't afford to gamble or lose.
Seeing her husband's hesitation, she said, "The child has made great progress over there. If there is another movement, it is still unclear whether this family business can be preserved. Let's listen to the child. He is more educated than us, and he lives abroad, so he can see further than us."
