Through the car window, Chen Lishu saw a long queue at the entrance of a Yimin store. She vaguely heard that something was on sale in the store. Out of curiosity, Chen Lishu got out when the car stopped at the station.
"Comrade, what are you waiting in line to buy?" Chen Lishu spotted a woman in her forties in the queue and asked.
"This store sells ready-made clothes, and they are all exported and there are no tickets." The woman said enthusiastically.
"This is a rare opportunity, but there are so many people queuing up. I've been queuing here for more than an hour, and you see there are some older people in front of me." An aunt on the side couldn't help complaining.
"That's why exporting ready-made clothes to foreign countries is free of charge. It's worth waiting." Another person interjected.
Selling ready-made clothes without tickets? Chen Lishu immediately became interested and walked forward for a while to the door of the store. Sure enough, she saw a blackboard standing near the left side of the door. It said: Ready-made clothes are sold without tickets.
Chen Lishu walked into the store curiously. The store was not big, and it was clearly divided into two areas: one side sells ready-made clothes for export to domestic sales, and the other side sells fabrics. The sales on one side are hot, but almost no one is interested in the other side.
Chen Lishu stood aside and observed carefully for a while. Which piece of clothing a customer came in to choose, the price was different depending on the style, and depending on the size and quality of the fabric, the price ranged from ten to twenty.
"Xiao Tao, how many people are there outside?" An older salesperson behind the counter said to another younger colleague beside him while looking for clothes for customers.
The girl named Xiao Tao raised her neck and took a look outside. Her shoulders suddenly slumped, and her voice became weak: "Sister Zhou, and the elder. I heard from Manager Jiang that the boss will give us a better share this time. I guess it will be better."
Some are busy."
There are many more?
Chen Lishu's eyes lit up when she heard the clerk Xiao Tao's words.
There were so many more good ones, so she could try them out to see if she could buy more.
Thinking of the manager Jiang mentioned by the two of them just now, Chen Lishu took two steps forward: "Comrade, could you please ask if your manager Jiang is here?"
Xiao Tao looked up and saw that although she was dressed in ordinary clothes, she looked good and had a good temperament. She asked doubtfully: "Are you a comrade?"
Chen Lishu smiled: "I have something to do with your manager Jiang."
Xiaotao didn't ask any more questions and pointed in the direction of the door: "There is a staircase outside. Just go up to the manager's office on the second floor and find him."
"Thank you, comrade." Chen Lishu thanked her and then turned and left the store. Sure enough, she saw an outdoor staircase not far away.
Following the instructions of Xiaotao's clerk, Chen Lishu went all the way to the second floor and found the door labeled Manager's Office. She arranged her clothes at the door first, thought about what to say in her mind, and then knocked on the door.
"Knock knock."
"Come in." A middle-aged man's voice came through the door.
Chen Lishu pushed the door open and entered, and saw a middle-aged man in his thirties sitting next to the table by the window. He was short and slightly fat.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?" Jiang Weiguo asked subconsciously when he saw a young and beautiful girl coming in.
Chen Lishu closed the door and took two steps closer before saying with a smile: "Hello, Manager Jiang, I see that our store downstairs is selling ready-made clothes. I would like to ask if I can buy a few more pieces."
After experiencing the lessons from the old man in the textile factory, she learned well this time and could not rashly mention some forbidden words.
If this Manager Jiang has a completely business-like attitude, then she will stop immediately. If there is room for maneuver, she will go further.
"Comrade, please take a seat."
Seeing his attitude, Chen Lishu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't refuse her outright.
After she sat down, Jiang Weiguo looked at her and said with a smile: "What do you call comrade?"
"Surname Chen."
Jiang Weiguo nodded and relaxed back on the chair: "How many more items would Comrade Chen want to buy?"
Chen Lishu smiled back: "Of course, the more, the better."
Jiang Weiguo straightened up, put his hands on the table and frowned: "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult."
The intonation is a little longer.
Chen Lishu understood and immediately answered: "I also know that this matter has caused trouble for you, Manager Jiang. If there is any inconvenience on your end, feel free to mention it."
Jiang Weiguo nodded secretly, thinking that he was good at getting things done, but people sitting in his position would not be able to speak clearly clearly.
"You, little comrade, are not bad for your age, but we also have our own rules. No matter how big the interests are, we will never violate the rules."
Chen Lishu secretly cursed the old fox in her heart, and simply didn't follow him around. She went straight to the point and said: "Mr. Jiang, if I buy more, can you give me the lowest price? Of course, I can't let your help go in vain. I will give you the lowest price."
I’ll give you a 10% rebate based on the price, what do you think?”
This was the biggest concession she could make. If the man named Jiang still talked to her in official terms, then she decided to give up directly.
Jiang Weiguo didn't expect that she, a young girl, was quite straightforward in speaking and doing things, but if she only bought ten or eight pieces, he would really look down upon the benefit of more than ten yuan.
Jiang Weiguo asked directly: "How much can you buy according to the external price?"
What is the price outside? Chen Lishu made a rough calculation in her mind. If she goes by the price in the store, the average price is about fifteen yuan per piece. What she earned during this period plus the two hundred yuan she received from the family division, she has a total of one thousand yuan in hand.
More than five hundred yuan, that's almost a hundred pieces.
Although she also had the passbook Gu Xingdong gave her in her hand, and his salary and allowances over the years totaled several thousand, she was not prepared to touch the money.
"About a hundred pieces."
One hundred pieces? Jiang Weiguo was a little shocked. He didn't expect that the girl in front of him was young and could spend thousands of dollars.
If this is the case, then 10% is more than 150 yuan, which is almost equivalent to his three months' salary.
After some mental calculation, Jiang Weiguo's expression became more serious. He took out a piece of paper from the drawer in front of him. On it was a price list for each type of clothing: "I can't explain it to you exactly at this price. You
The price of each piece is higher than this, you decide how much you need, and then I’ll have someone get it for you.”
Chen Lishu took a look at the price list. Although it was handwritten, it clearly marked the approximate material style and unit price of each piece of clothing. The unit price was basically three to four yuan cheaper than in the store.
When Chen Lishu looked at the end, she found that some of the unit prices still had traces of pencil outlines, and she realized that the price list in her hand was not the real price list, but that Manager Jiang in front of her had copied it separately.
If the price is any higher than this, I'm afraid the one in hand has already been priced out.
