Chapter 277 - "I wish you luck on that." (1)
With all the overtime work put in, Wu Xiuyue’s storefront finished remodeling in just 20 days. Chen Fei had ordered all sofas and lightings, etc. for her in advance and they had all arrived. Shu Yan was able to hook her up with the factories for the racks and dummies and they were cheap and of high quality. None of those cost too much and most of the money was still spent on merchandizes.
Wu Xiuyue had never had 10,000 yuan on her in her entire life. She could feel her heart almost throbbing out of her chest when she got out of the car, worried that she would be robbed.
“The more you act that act, the more the others could tell you have a lot of money on you. Just relax.” Shu Yan didn’t know what else to say. Perhaps 10,000 yuan wasn’t that much to her so she really wasn’t that nervous back then.
“I’ll do my best,” said Wu Xiuyue through her worries.
Shu Yan quickly dragged her to the motel with her before they really attracted attention. Public safety was not great in this era and there were a lot of pickpockets.
Worried that the motel wasn’t safe enough, Wu Xiuyue locked the door hind them before dragging a table over to block it. She even suggested to take turn staying awake just in case.
“Okay, you do that. I am going to catch some sleep.” She had been to City Han countless times and had heard many stories of people’s money being stolen. Most of them were newbies and they attracted attention to themselves because they looked like they were carrying a lot of money with them.
When Shu Yan woke up, she found Wu Xiuyue dozing her while holding onto her money. She was speechless for a little while. She let her sleep for half an hour before she packed up and got ready to go.
“I am so nervous. What am I going to do?” said Wu Xiuyue while holding onto Shu Yan’s hand.
“Your shop hasn’t even opened up yet. We are just here for merchandizing. What are you so nervous about?”
“I am still nervous. I worry that I don’t pick well. What if I am not able to sell what I have picked out? I would lose my money. How much would that cost me?” Wu Xiuyue couldn't help but regretted why she wanted to go into business when she didn’t have to.
Shu Yan gave her a look. “What’s there to worry about? Just get what I get. I have been selling clothes for a while now and have an idea what will sell. Our stores are far away enough that we can sell the same clothes.”
This was the best that she could do. There was not much more that she could help with if Wu Xiuyue’s business was still poor. Shu Yan had warned her that there were risks in business, win some and lose some. But she was every fixated on going into business at the time. It was way too late to regret by now.
Wu Xiuyue felt much better after Shu Yan’s reassurance. Wu Xiuyue had, once again, demonstrated her amazing ability during merchandizing. She was able to get most of what Shu Yan said was good.
“Too bad we missed out on those two dresses,” sighed Wu Xiuyue when she was organizing their clothes with Shu Yan.
Shu Yan, “… …”
It was okay to leave a little bit of something to someone else. Had she no idea how mighty she was earlier?
When they were buying wholesales, Shu Yan instructed her on which ones sell fast and which ones to not get and how to choose colors. For example, definitely stock up on the mainstream colors. Then she would need to know the popular colors of the year. That was very simple as well. Just take a look at the most commonly seen colors on the market. In addition, her store was close to the university city so she could go for something geared toward the younger crowd.
They were only carrying a portion back with them with the rest being shipped over. Wu Xiuyue already had the date picked and Xiuxiu had taken a day of specifically to help her organize her merchandizes.
