Rebirth 1983: Starting From Taking Back the Family Property

Chapter 120 Sold Out

Two days after New Year's Day, Lu Jiaxin went to the store to make a phone call and saw Sister Chen showing off her newly bought leather shoes to the store owner.

Sister Chen lifted the shoes on her feet and asked, "Ali, do they look good?"

Aunt Fat couldn't take her eyes off the leather shoes, but she said, "What's the use of looking good? They're not warm, and they're not as good as my cotton shoes!"

Sister Chen held the wall with her left hand and took off her shoes with her right hand, peeling off the shoes to reveal the cotton wool inside: "See? Such thick wool, it's very warm on the feet."

Lu Jiaxin knew that she had asked a processing factory to make these leather shoes as soon as she saw the style. This one uses artificial leather, and the price is the lowest.

Auntie Fat reached out and touched it. The cotton was thick and soft. She was very tempted and wanted to buy a pair: "Where did you buy it? How much is it?"

Sister Chen said that it was bought in Xiushui Street: "My husband went there to buy things yesterday and saw that everyone was scrambling for leather shoes. He knew that I was afraid of the cold, and the shoe seller said that these shoes were warm and waterproof, so he bought a pair."

When she first knew that her husband bought shoes for her, Sister Chen scolded him for wasting money, mainly because her husband had poor taste and didn't like anything he bought. When she saw the shoes, she was really surprised.

"How much is it a pair?"

"The asking price was 88, and I bargained for a long time before I got 66 or 8."

The wholesale price was 34, and then 68, which was actually not bad. However, this is artificial leather, so the price will definitely not be too high. Su Heyuan wholesales to buyers in the four-nine cities, and buyers also need to make money. Of course, this does not include Hong Kong City, and the other party has such channels that they can't envy.

Auntie Fat was very tempted and decided to buy a pair to wear.

Xue Mao went to Xiushui Street that afternoon after hearing the news. After coming back, he said to Lu Jiaxin in a depressed tone: "Sister Xin, the leather shoes we make are 188 yuan for a pair of lambskin shoes, 168 yuan for a pair of sheepskin shoes, and 88 yuan for a pair of artificial leather shoes. This price is more than double the price we sell them for."

Lu Jiaxin thought it was normal: "They transported them from Yangcheng to here, and the freight and labor costs are a huge expense. They transported them to Sijiu City and then wholesaled them to the people below, and they have to make a profit after each hand."

She knew very well that Su Heyuan was attracted by the design of those shoes, so he didn't lower the price too much. Otherwise, this guy didn't follow the rules and directly made the shoes with the shoe samples, and she wouldn't make so much money.

Xue Mao also thought it was true, but he still thought it was too exaggerated: "Sister, the difference between the cost and the selling price is too big."

Lu Jiaxin said: "That's grabbing the opportunity. When the imitation shoes come out next year, the price will drop by at least 30% to 40%. Although there will still be profit, it will definitely not be so much."

The clothing industry in this era is a huge profit. The shoes they produced were novel in style, good in quality and warm, and they were just right for wearing in the cold weather. In addition, the seller boasted that they were brand-name goods from Hong Kong City, and many people did not think the asking price of 188 was expensive. You know, in department stores, the styles were not so good, and the winter shoes would cost 180, 190 or even more than 200.

Xue Mao calculated that even if the price dropped by 30%, there would still be some profit, but it was not that high. Although Su Heyuan bought all the shoes, Xue Mao still went to Xiushui Street to understand the sales situation.

After a few days, Xue Mao said, "Sister, our shoes are sold out. Many people want to buy them, but they can't. Sister, are there so many rich people in the city?"

Not to mention lambskin, even the discounted price of artificial leather is 68, which is a month's salary for some people.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "This is the capital, and now the family planning policy allows young men and women to have only one child, so the pressure of life is much lighter. If you have money on hand, you can buy a pair of practical shoes for the New Year."

There will always be rich people in any dynasty. Twenty years later, many places have not yet escaped poverty, but some places are living in luxury.

Xiaoqiu asked: "Aunt, the shoes are all sold out, why haven't my father and uncle come back yet?"

School will be over in another week, Lu Jiaxin said it was too cold and she would not set up a stall after the holiday. She wanted to go home when she stayed at home with nothing to do. She didn't feel anything when she was at home. She missed her grandparents and mother so much after being out for so long.

"She should be back in the next few days."

Before Xiaoqiu came to Sijiucheng, she made an appointment with Lu Jiazong. When the shoes were delivered and there was nothing to do, he would come to Sijiucheng to take Xiaoqiu home.

Speak of the devil, the devil will come. Auntie Pang shouted outside: "Lu Jiaxin, your phone will call again in five minutes, hurry up."

"I'm coming." Lu Jiaxin responded.

The call was from Lu Jiajie, who said that he had bought a ticket back and would be home in four days: "Second brother will go back by himself. I will go back for the New Year this year. Xiaoqiu will go with me."

According to the original plan, Lu Jiazong went to Sijiucheng to pick up Xiaoqiu and take her back to her hometown. However, Lu Jiajie was going to go back to his hometown for the New Year, so he really didn't need to come to Sijiucheng.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "When I come back, I have to treat Master Jia and Brother Ale to a meal. They have worked hard during this period."

Lu Jiajie said, "Master Jia and Xiangyang have found work here. If they want to earn more, they won't go back for the New Year. Their bonuses will be given to their families when I come back."

Lu Jiaxin has already paid the salary, but not the bonuses. He will wait for Lu Jiajie to come and give them to them.

"What about Brother Ale and Brother Asheng?"

Lu Jiajie said that the two of them would go back to Sijiucheng with him: "They said that they can't make enough money. If they want to make more money, they will go back next year. They must be together for the New Year."

The main thing is that Lu Jiaxin paid for the train tickets, so they didn't have to pay for it themselves. In addition, they missed their family after being away for several months. Of course, the most important thing is that the two people think that Lu Jiaxin is so capable that she will definitely help Lu Jiajie, so they will just follow Lu Jiajie in the future.

"Then be careful on the road."

Xiao Qiu knew that his father could not come to pick him up, and asked worriedly: "Aunt, will Uncle Wu really go back to celebrate the New Year? I miss Grandpa, Grandma, Mom and Nannan."

"Since your Uncle Wu said so, he must go back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year."

"Aunt, what about you?" Xiao Qiu asked. After more than two months here, she knew that Lu Jiaxin and Lu Hongjun had a very tense relationship, and it was basically impossible for them to celebrate the New Year together.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said: "This is the first year I moved here, I will definitely celebrate the New Year at home. Let's see if I can invite my eldest brother and sister-in-law to come and join us."

In the first year of moving to a new home, according to custom, you have to celebrate the New Year in the new home, otherwise she can take Xue Mao and Qian Xiaoxiao to her eldest brother's home to celebrate the New Year. She respects Lu Jiaguang from the bottom of her heart.

Xiaoqiu patted her head and said, "Look at me, I actually forgot such an important thing. Aunt, after the New Year, I want to go back to Sijiu City with my fifth uncle and sell breakfast with Uncle Xue Mao."

This is a test to see if Lu Jiaxin is willing to let her continue to sell breakfast with Xue Mao.

Lu Jiaxin could not help but hear the implication, and smiled and said, "As long as you are not afraid of hard work, come with your fifth uncle."

"It's not hard, not hard at all."
