Chapter 142: Chapter 134: Xin Xin Clothing Store

Lu Jiaxin, despite not being short on money, was not happy to only spend without earning. So, after the New Year, she called Lu Jiajie over and asked him what his plans were going forward.

Lu Jiajie said, “Clothes on Gao Di Street are cheap, I plan to purchase some stock to sell here.”

Lu Jiaxin gave him a look and said, “I’m planning to open a clothing store. I need to attend classes and can’t be running around all the time. The first month will be busy and I’ll need help. You come help me, and meanwhile learn how to select clothes.”

Lu Jiajie nodded and said, “You have a good eye, and the clothes you choose are always nice. Opening a clothing store will definitely make money.”

When in Yangcheng City, Lu Jiaxin thought about partnering with him to open a clothing store, but he was indiscreet and Ma Lili was always preoccupied with her own family. If the two of them partnered up, given Big Sister Ma’s shameless nature, she would come straight over to take clothes. So, like last time, he would work for her and she would pay him.

Accounts should be settled clearly among brothers. Lu Jiaxin said, “Two hundred for wages, and an additional one hundred as a bonus?”

Lu Jiajie felt it was too much, but he knew Lu Jiaxin’s character, “Just do as you say.”

After running around outside for three days, Lu Jiajie said to Lu Jiaxin, “Xinxin, I found a place where the clothes sell for twenty percent less than others. I’ve seen it myself, and the quality of the clothes, shoes, and socks is very good.”

“What about the styles?”

Lu Jiajie said the clothes looked pretty good.

The next day, Lu Jiaxin went to look at the goods herself. Good thing she hadn’t gotten her hopes up. The colors of these clothes were quite vibrant but the styles were outdated, and many clothes had flaws. It really did fit the saying, “Cheap goods are never of good quality.”

“Let’s go back.”

Two days later, through Su Heming’s connections, Lu Jiaxin found a reseller named Brother Hu. His clothes, shoes, and socks were of good quality and the styles were modern, but the price was slightly high. However, she would rather earn a bit less than not sell quality and attractive clothes.

Having reviewed the samples, Lu Jiaxin was impressed and chose one thousand eight hundred garments, as well as more than eight hundred pairs of socks and gloves.

Watching her place the orders, Lu Jiajie broke into a sweat. He pulled Lu Jiaxin aside and said, “You’ve taken too much stock. Let’s start with two or three hundred pieces first. If we run out of stock, it’s not far to come back for more.”

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, “The clothes I’ve chosen, both in style and quality, are very good. They will sell, it’s just a question of how much profit we make.”

Brother Hu, seeing that she had picked out a fair amount of stock, generously said, “Since Heming’s brother introduced you, I’ll give you a ten percent discount.”

But Lu Jiaxin was not satisfied with just a ten percent discount. After some haggling, she got the price down by thirty percent. However, the seller had conditions: unsold goods could not be returned, and payment for the stock must be made in full and one time.

Lu Jiaxin agreed boldly.

On the way back, Lu Jiajie said, “Jiaxin, why are we hauling the stock tomorrow when we haven’t even rented a shop yet?”

“No need to rent, I bought a shop on Xiushui Street and had it fitted out. However, this batch of goods will first be sent to Radiance Road.”

Lu Jiajie was shocked and asked, “Jiaxin, when did you buy the shop, and when did you have it renovated?”

“I bought it last November and had someone fix it up. It’s in a good location, the fifth shop from the entrance of Xiushui Street.”

As the two were talking, Fatty Aunt’s resonant voice rang out again, “Jiaxin, someone called for you, they said they would call again in ten minutes.”

Lu Jiaxin acknowledged and Fatty Aunt went back.

It was then that Lu Jiajie remembered what Ah Sheng had told him a few days before, “Jiaxin, I heard that you’ve been getting a lot of phone calls recently. Who keeps calling you?”

In the past, she would explain to Lu Jiajie, but now Lu Jiaxin wouldn’t: “I’ve been quite busy lately. Fifth Brother, you don’t need to worry about these matters, I can handle them.”

The trip to Hong Kong wouldn’t be revealed to everyone until it was confirmed. Without saying, everyone would certainly object.

Seeing that she didn’t wish to speak, Lu Jiajie didn’t press further.

Lu Jiaxin, finding it inconvenient to always have to step out to take calls, said, “Fifth Brother, I want to install a telephone at home. What do you think?”

Having a telephone installed would make contact with the outside world more convenient, and it would allow her to keep in touch with Xue Mao and Xiao Qiu even after moving to Hong Kong.

Lu Jiajie said, “To install a telephone, you first have to apply at the telephone exchange. Even after the application is approved, you still have to wait for the technicians to come and install it. There are a lot of applicants now; if you don’t pull some strings, you won’t get it installed this year.”

Lu Jiaxin said, “I will apply tomorrow. Having a phone at home means we won’t have to take calls at the convenience store. There, many things I dare not say for fear of being overheard.”
