The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 259: Heart-to-Heart and Planning

When it comes to starting a business, Wang Pandi is not without interest either.

The last time she came over and saw the Xuelan Clothing created by Wang Miaomiao together with Cheng Xue and Jiang Huilan, looking at that factory and that shop, how could she not be envious?

Since she got married, she has also been continuously busy with work. Especially after the country opened up last year, with no restrictions, people started to pay more attention to their clothing and appearance. Her skills are good, and during busy months, she can earn thirty or forty yuan, which is quite a bit.

They are both in the clothing business, but their scale over there, sigh, truly, there is no harm without comparison. Honestly, over the past half-year, the pressure from Wang Miaomiao is not small. It seems like whatever she does, it’s not as good as hers...

At this moment, listening to Wang Miaomiao, Wang Pandi felt excited in her heart, "Start what kind of business? What can I do?"

"What can’t you do? Just like big sister, start a small shop first. Small cost, low risk. It’s basically a surefire way to make a profit." Seeing her interest, Wang Miaomiao softly said, "Second sister, let’s go to the small living room to talk in detail."

Babies during their month-long confinement might sleep for 22 hours a day. In no time, the two little ones fell asleep again.

Carefully, they settled the two children, leaving Liu Yulan and Sister-in-law Yang to watch over them in the room.

Wang Jia Bao had already taken a glance at the children and went out.

Wang Miaomiao led Wang Pandi and Yang Qingwen to the small living room.

The small living room was rather simple in decoration, with a row of bamboo cabinets on the side, a round rattan table in the center with two rattan chairs, a bouquet on the table, and light pink lilies in the rattan vase, fresh and elegant, adding color and charm to this corner...

Wang Miaomiao took out several jars from the cabinet, oh boy, all little snacks. There were candies, pork jerky, dried apricots, preserved plums, jujube cakes, walnuts, five-spice sunflower seeds, canned fruits...

Wang Pandi looked at these uncertain eyes, and couldn’t help but sigh in her heart, this is fate, nothing to compare.

"Sis, I haven’t thought it through in detail, let me give you a few suggestions to consider..." Wang Miaomiao said while opening two cans of canned fruit, pushing them in front of Wang Pandi and Yang Qingwen.

"No need for two cans, we can share one between us, you eat this can." Seeing this, Wang Pandi quickly pushed one can back to Wang Miaomiao.

Wang Miaomiao disagreed, "There’s not much fruit in one can, if two people share, you can’t even taste it, don’t be pretentious, quickly eat..."

Seeing her like this, Wang Pandi stopped refusing. It’s just canned fruit, which her family actually often eats, it’s not something precious.

Actually, the food in Wang Pandi’s home isn’t bad. Yang Zhigang is a loving husband and father, often buying meat and snacks to bring home.

It’s just that, being thrifty, Wang Pandi doesn’t stockpile a lot of snacks like Wang Miaomiao does, only buying a little to eat each time.

"Sweetie, take whatever you like to eat, when you’re at your aunt’s it’s like being at home, don’t be shy." Wang Miaomiao saw that they were no longer reserved and was happy in her heart, smiling even more brightly.

In fact, Wang Pandi had misunderstood Wang Miaomiao, as many of these things were bought by Jiang Yan, Jiang Zhongyi, and Old Master Jiang. As the group’s favorite, she’s quite helpless...

"Thank you, Auntie..." Yang Qingwen, with a sweet little mouth, being a child, ate canned fruit while constantly glancing at the jars.

Seeing this, Wang Pandi felt a bit sad, gently stroking her hair, secretly thinking that after going back, she should buy her more delicious things often. It’s not like the family lacks the means, and with just one daughter, spoiling her a little does no harm.

In the following conversation, Wang Miaomiao gave her a few suggestions—firstly, she could go to the town to buy a shop, where there are plenty of business options.

Wang Pandi has good skills, just like Wang Zhaodi, she could open a restaurant or a small food shop, but the early rising and long working hours would be too exhausting. Wang Miaomiao didn’t recommend it, and her loving husband Yang Zhigang probably wouldn’t agree.

Another option is to go back to doing what she does best, by opening a custom clothing shop in town. Currently, she only does work in the surrounding villages with limited customers. She should have more customers in town. As long as the clothes she makes are fashionable and attractive, business shouldn’t be bad.

This suggestion was quite tempting to Wang Pandi, since it’s something she’s used to doing, she has some confidence.

Or, she could open a supermarket. It’s something Wang Miaomiao herself has always wanted to do. As long as she sorts out the supply channels, it’s basically a money-making business.

She explained the supermarket concept and some common promotion tactics in detail to Wang Pandi, leaving her to decide on what action to take.

"Sis, you take your time to think about it first, discuss it with brother-in-law and then make a decision." Seeing her looking conflicted, Wang Miaomiao hurried to comfort her not to rush.

"Hmm..." Wang Pandi thought for a bit and felt that she should really consider it thoroughly, "Miaomiao, I’d like to visit your factory again, can I?"

Of these three options, she is more inclined to open her own clothing shop. The last time she came for the wedding reception, she had visited the factory but only quickly walked around, she’d like to take a closer look now.

"Of course, sis, if you want to open a factory, I can also tell you all about our experience in starting up." Wang Miaomiao isn’t one to keep things to herself, after all, this is her dear sister.

Hearing this, Wang Pandi hurriedly waved her hands in refusal, "That’s not good, wouldn’t it mean competing against you?"

"Sis, you’re overthinking it, there’s no such thing as competing." Wang Miaomiao listened to Wang Pandi’s refusal, feeling warm inside.

"How is it not competing? Didn’t Xiao Xue say you guys want to open Xuelan Clothing Flagship Stores everywhere in the country? If I also open a factory, wouldn’t I be competing with you for livelihood?" Thinking of the ambitious words Cheng Xue once said, she couldn’t help but feel proud of them.

Wang Miaomiao shook her head, "That’s not right, our country has vast lands and a population of over a billion. My small factory can’t possibly cater to everyone in the country, can it? There are already many clothing factories out there; there are nearly ten in Beijing alone. So one more or less makes no difference."

"Moreover, competition is the root of progress. Our Xuelan Clothing positioned itself from the start as high-quality mid-to-high-end, and our clothes aren’t cheap."

That’s why from the beginning they opened specialty stores, their clothes are of good quality and not cheap.

For this, she is currently heavily in debt.

"Is that true..." Wang Pandi thought to herself.

"Yes, if you want to open a factory, let me know. But you can’t grow overnight, it’s better to start small and gradually expand. Don’t be like us, overextending, which isn’t good. I’m still deep in debt with the bank... heh heh..."

"Ah? How much do you owe, we can help you pay it off." When Wang Pandi heard about her debt, her instinct was to offer help.
