Chapter 42 Shopping
The next day, Jiang Shuya rode her bike to "Lida Shopping Mall" and called Wang Tingting. She waited for a while in the women's clothing area, and then saw her running towards her in a black suit, which also showed her immature side.
"Sister Xiaoya, which brand do you want to buy? I'll find someone to give you a discount." Wang Tingting said straightforwardly "Okay! I want to buy men's clothing."
After that, the two of them went to the men's clothing area on the fourth floor, and quickly found the brand they liked. After touching the clothes, they found that the quality was very good, so they picked out two sets of clothes, a light blue cotton shirt with khaki casual pants, and a white T-shirt with classic jeans. After comparing the sizes, they chose 180 for the tops and 32 for the pants, and also chose a pair of men's leather shoes in size 42.
The salesperson calculated the price and it came to 2588. Wang Tingting, who was standing next to him, said, "Give me another discount. This is my friend. Give me an internal price and ask your company leader for permission."
The man quickly called to ask for instructions, and after a moment, he added another number with a smile on his face, 1880. Wow! In this short time, 708 was missing. Jiang Shuya widened her eyes, a little bit unbelievable, and then asked again: "How much discount is this, what is the original price?"
I picked up the tag on the clothes and took a look at the original price.
"The original price of the four pieces of clothing and the shoes is 2998, which is a 6.2% discount. These are new models." The shopping guide said politely.
Jiang Shuya was very satisfied with the price and paid the money quickly. She took her things and went to the women's clothing area on the second floor. Wang Tingting introduced her to the domestic first-line brands that have been popular in recent years. Most of these brands are directly-operated stores with their own clothing factories. All 12 shopping malls in the center of Jinling City have introduced these brands. There are also some agency brands from abroad with a very good reputation and recognized by a large number of domestic consumers. The cosmetics area downstairs is mostly foreign brands that have their own factories in China and are Sino-foreign joint ventures.
Jiang Shuya does not have such lofty ambitions. Currently, she is only interested in women's clothing. As a woman herself, she understands penetration. From her own perspective, women all love beauty and want to wear different styles of clothing every day to show a different side of themselves. Different clothes also bring different moods.
At this time, Wang Tingting pointed to a women's clothing brand MODA. The lights were bright inside, the music was loud, the decoration was exquisite and avant-garde, and the shopping guides were tall, wearing 5cm wedge heels, heavy eye makeup, and fashionable clothes. The clothes they wore were all from different series in the store. Everyone was dressed differently, showing their own style, just like human stars, attracting customers in a unique way.
"MODA is from Ningbo, Zhejiang. Although it is a new domestic brand, it follows the international fashion route. It has been very popular in the past two years. The company is willing to spend a lot of time on its employees. Every day, the store staff are required to wear different clothes. There are four major series. The speed of stocking is amazing. It is also the brand with the most styles and the most complete in all women's clothing areas."
Wang Tingting pointed ahead with great interest: "Compared to the LIMI brand, which is simple, comfortable, big-name, and mid-to-high-end, this company has extremely high quality requirements and has its own design team and material fabric research institute."
"Tingting, how are the sales in this mall?" Jiang Shuya suddenly interrupted her.
Wang Tingting sighed: "Currently, the national sales volume ranks third, but it is still not comparable to other shopping malls in the center of Jinling. The top management is also thinking of countermeasures and striving for some resources. They plan to hold a large-scale event, such as a year-end celebration."
"I want to do online clothing purchasing and set up my own online store. I need to find some well-known brands to purchase from. I will get the goods from here. Can you introduce the source of goods?" Jiang Shuya said confidently while looking at the clothes.
Wang Tingting smiled incredulously: "Using the Internet to sell, it's not that I don't trust you, ha, really, I have no confidence in this platform. There are many precedents that can be found. Although there are some Internet companies emerging in China, many companies have disappeared with the naked eye. If you really want to do it, I can help you find out a little. I'll call the manager of MODA now, you can talk to her. As far as I know, many brands have group purchase prices. As for what the thresholds are, these need to be carefully considered."
Sure enough, when the store manager showed up, after face-to-face communication, it turned out that the threshold was indeed very high. One needed to purchase goods worth 5 yuan at one time to enjoy a % discount. The styles could be randomized, and there was no restriction on returns and exchanges, provided that it was within the specified time, did not affect secondary sales, and the packaging was intact. A one-time payment of yuan was required.
Jiang Shuya sneered at Wang Tingting who was pessimistic about online sales. She had completely forgotten that she also bought a box of grapes through the Internet. However, Jiang Shuya was a person who had tasted the sweetness. Online sales brought her real benefits. Since she had discovered the signs, how could she miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
She also thought about opening a store on her own and purchasing goods from Guangdong or Zhejiang, but the cost of opening a store is very high, the risk is also great, and the journey is long, which is not suitable for a first-time entrepreneur like her, and the styles and quality cannot be guaranteed.
Purchasing on behalf of others is different. First of all, it is a brand that consumers trust, and the quality is more advantageous. Although the profit is not much, the risk is relatively small. Online shopping does not require store costs, and only requires a deposit, which also brings benefits to more people.
The two asked around along the way, and together with Wang Tingting they observed several women's clothing stores. They also inquired about each store's group buying model, which was similar, but each store had different thresholds.
Jiang Shuya added several store managers on QQ and arranged a time for taking photos. With Wang Tingting, taking photos was naturally more convenient. As they talked, they went to the fifth floor and came to a seafood buffet. Jiang Shuya took the initiative to treat them, and Wang Tingting did not refuse. She suddenly took the initiative to ask about Sun Qi's personal situation.
"Ah! I only heard that he is currently working in Shanghai. He came back this time to help his grandmother sell grapes. He should return to Shanghai after the end! I don't know him very well."
Jiang Shuya spoke the truth, "Well...well...does he have a girlfriend...I want to introduce him to a girlfriend."
Wang Tingting hesitated a bit. "It's hard to say. I haven't heard of him. How about I ask him for you when I get back? He is really good. He has a handsome appearance, is gentle and polite, and is responsible. There are too few responsible men nowadays. From the way he helps the family with things, it can be seen that he is really reliable."
Jiang Shuya looked at Wang Tingting's slightly blushing face and deliberately praised her a few words.
"Really? That's great, I feel relieved." Wang Tingting smiled knowingly, and then changed the subject. "I will follow up on the other two brands you mentioned in the next two days. I will come to see you this weekend!"
