Song Jiaojiao returned to the family compound, hesitated for a moment, then bought a bag of apples and carried them to the canteen opened by Liu Hong.
Nowadays, those who go to work go to work, and those who take care of their children and cook at home take care of their children and cook. In the evening, a bunch of people gather at the canteen to watch TV, eat melon seeds and drink soda.
"Honghong, yo, Xiaohua is here too. Didn't you go to work today?"
Song Jiaojiao walked in and looked up to see the two of them sitting there watching TV. Liu Hong was cracking melon seeds and Liu Xiaohua was sulking with her arms crossed.
"Why are you here?" Liu Hong turned around and saw the apple that Song Jiaojiao was carrying, and immediately smiled, "Jiaojiao, come and sit."
Song Jiaojiao handed the apple over, "I saw some good apples when I was passing by, so I bought some for you to try."
The iron cock plucks its feathers, and the sun rises in the west.
"Oh come on, why don't you come and buy so many apples? You're not an outsider. Sit down quickly and I'll get you a bottle of soda." Liu Hong also plucked her hair.
Liu Xiaohua glanced at Song Jiaojiao, nodded as a greeting, and sat aside to watch TV.
Song Jiaojiao asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Xiaohua?"
"I'm having a hard time at work. Now everyone who buys color TVs goes to Yuanda Electrical Appliances. Xiaohua and his counters haven't had any business for several days. Why don't you get upset?" Liu Hong said, rolling her eyes.
Liu Xiaohua turned around and said, "Oh, sister-in-law, why are you telling Sister Jiao this? Sister Jiao's store is no longer in business."
It seems that she has found some balance from Song Jiaojiao, and Liu Xiaohua feels a little more balanced.
Song Jiaojiao forced a smile and pretended to be indifferent and said, "Yes, the business of my store is not very good, but for a store as big as Yuanda Appliances, it is normal for the business to be better than ours."
Taking the soda from Liu Hong, Song Jiaojiao took a sip and said, "The taste of Nanhua soda is getting worse and worse. I really don't know how they make it."
Liu Hong's peach blossom eyes are topped by bangs that go to the left. Judging from her appearance, she is about the same as Song Jiaojiao, but both are prettier than Liu Xiaohua. Liu Xiaohua just has more youthful charm.
Because of jealousy, rumors were spread that Liu Hong was involved with multiple men. On the contrary, the relationship between the client and her husband had always been stable.
Liu Hong replied softly, "Yes, a five-cent soda is not as good as two-five-cent American Coke and two-five-cent Jianlibao."
"Haha, that's true."
Song Jiaojiao suddenly remembered that she was asking for help, and immediately agreed with a smile.
Liu Hong found it strange that if it were normal, Song Jiaojiao would definitely come back with a strange attitude. Every time they had a conversation, they would not stop for more than ten minutes, insisting on a verbal battle to win or lose.
"Gillian, why did you come to see me?" Liu Hong asked directly.
Song Jiaojiao smiled and said, "It's nothing. Didn't I suddenly remember that you bought a 21-inch Japanese Panasonic color TV before? I have a relative who also wants to buy one."
"Aren't you just selling color TVs? Just ask your relatives to buy them from you." Liu Hong said with a smile.
Song Jiaojiao shook her head and said, "Well, that relative of mine doesn't have much money. The ones in my store are too expensive. Didn't you say last time that the color TV you bought only cost 2,000 yuan?"
Liu Hong was stunned and blinked, "Oh, that's it..."
Song Jiaojiao put her arms around Liu Hong's shoulders and shook her gently, "Good sister, please tell me where to buy it. My relative really doesn't have much money. He is getting married soon, so he must buy it."
It’s a big color TV, why can’t I give him a subsidy?”
"Gillian, it's not that I don't help, it's just that this matter is not as simple as you think. Even if I tell you, you probably won't be able to buy it. I also relied on many connections to help and spent a lot of effort to get it, otherwise you
I thought it was really that cheap." Liu Hong said.
Song Jiaojiao was stunned and said, "Please help me, and I will ask him to thank you properly after everything is done."
What is said is unintentional and the listener is interested.
Liu Xiaohua's eyes started to roll while she was watching TV, and she suddenly thought of a way to vent her anger and make money at the same time.
She knew where her elder brother's color TV was bought.
"Sister Jiaojiao, is this what you want to buy? You have to tell the truth, otherwise we won't dare to help you." Liu Xiaohua suddenly interrupted.
"Xiaohua!" Liu Hong glared at Liu Xiaohua and winked fiercely.
Song Jiaojiao looked at Liu Xiaohua as if she had found a treasure. She quickly walked over and took Liu Xiaohua's hand and said kindly, "Xiaohua, I won't hide it from you. You also know that the business of my store is getting worse and worse. Yuanda Electric is bullying others."
It's too much. If we engage in low-price competition, isn't it just bullying us because we have less capital and can't compete with them?"
"Xiaohua, let alone our small store, the department store is so big and there are so many counters, that is, Yuanda Electric does not sell other things, otherwise it will definitely take away all the business of the department store, and the higher ups will not care about it. What can we do?"
She wiped away her tears as she spoke.
When Liu Xiaohua saw Song Jiaojiao acting like this, she felt as disgusted as if she had eaten a fly, but on her face she felt the same way and said, "Yes, what they do is very annoying. If this were done in the past, it would be poaching the corner of socialism!"
"That's right! If we sell according to the price of Yuanda Electric, we will definitely lose money. Now there is only one way to find a source of goods with a lower price. I have inquired clearly. Yuanda Electric has direct cooperation relationships with many manufacturers. They give
Yuanda Electric's price is much lower than what it gave us," Song Jiaojiao said.
Liu Hong interjected and said, "Xiaohua, please don't act recklessly. If your brother finds out, you will accuse me of being nosy."
"Honghong, why are you meddling in other people's business? We all belong to a department store. If Yuanda Electric continues to do this, the department store may be so crowded that it has no business. By then, none of us will have anything to eat. You
Really?" Song Jiaojiao deliberately exaggerated the consequences.
As everyone knows, her words are not exaggerated at all.
Song Jiaojiao was afraid that Liu Hong would persuade Liu Xiaohua, so she quickly made a condition, "Honghong, as long as you can help me find low-priced sources of goods, I will share 10% of your profits! No, 20% is fine too!"
Liu Xiaohua stood up suddenly, "Sister Jiaojiao, keep your word, I will do it and my sister-in-law will do it."
"It will definitely count." Song Jiaojiao said with certainty, thinking to herself, it's not me who has the final say on the profit.
Liu Hong was naturally tempted.
"Sister Jiaojiao, please go back first. I'll contact you and talk to you later," Liu Xiaohua said.
"Okay, okay, Xiaohua, I'm waiting for good news from you, Honghong, then I'll go back first." Song Jiaojiao was overjoyed and left with satisfaction.
Liu Hong frowned and said, "Xiaohua, should you discuss this matter with your brother?"
"He is the chief of the material section and he is so busy every day. Why are you telling him this? Sister-in-law, just sit back and collect the money. I can just contact you. Besides, wasn't it me who contacted you when you bought the color TV? I'm better than you.
Cooked." Liu Xiaohua said confidently.
Liu Hong was still a little worried, "Is everything going to be okay?"
"What can happen? Hey, don't worry about sister-in-law. I'm free anyway. I'll go and ask now."
Liu Xiaohua went out and rode a bicycle and left in a hurry.
