"What I'm holding in my hand is the schoolbag that this old man said had a quality problem and wanted a refund for. But after our inspection, we found that the so - called quality problem he mentioned was a very smooth cut, right in the middle!"
Hua Qingqing showed the cut in the middle of the schoolbag to the first onlooker in the front row.
"Auntie, take a look. Doesn't it look like it was cut with scissors?"
The auntie nodded.
"It was definitely cut."
The old man immediately retorted loudly, "Are you blind? It broke on its own!"
The auntie wasn't intimidated at all. "What are you shouting for! I'm not easily scared. It's obvious that you cut it. Can't people even point it out?"
After that, Hua Qingqing didn't need to do anything else.
The hot - tempered auntie directly took the schoolbag and showed the cut to the people behind one by one.
"Look, isn't this clearly cut with scissors?"
"Yes!"
"When my son secretly cuts things, it looks about the same."
"And it's been sewn up. The color of the thread is different from the surrounding parts. This old man is really dishonest."
The old man blushed from the surrounding comments. Angry and ashamed, he grabbed the schoolbag, pulled his grandson, and fled the crowd like a fugitive.
While the onlookers were still there, Guang Bai quickly picked up the other schoolbags and demonstrated to them how good the quality of the schoolbags was.
"We only have the last five schoolbags in this batch. They're five yuan each. After this, the price will go back to normal. Don't miss this opportunity! There won't be another chance like this!"
In the end, the hot - tempered auntie took out a ten - yuan bill and bought two schoolbags.
With someone taking the lead, the remaining three schoolbags were also sold out.
The three of them started to pack up their stall.
Hua Qingqing seemed to sense a pair of eyes on her. She looked up and found Granny Lin standing across the street, staring at her.
Oh, so she'd been noticed.
Hua Qingqing didn't care. She continued to help the Guang siblings pack up their things.
They had agreed to go to the state - run restaurant to celebrate later.
With the opening of policies, there were many more restaurants in the capital. Squeezed by authentic cuisine restaurants and novel Western restaurants, the state - run restaurant was no longer the first choice for most people.
As they were eating, the Guang siblings' hesitant expressions became more and more obvious.
Hua Qingqing frowned. "What are you guys doing? If you need to go to the toilet, just go."
Guang Bai shook his head, blushing.
"No, it's my brother who has something to tell you."
Guang Hei: ?
Guang Hei: "… Yes, I have something to tell you."
Hua Qingqing: "Then just say it. Why are you hesitating? Are you going to ask me for a loan? Sorry, I can't lend you any money."
"… No, we're not asking for a loan."
"You're about to leave the capital. Someone needs to take care of the schoolbag business here… My sister and I can help sell them. If you're not at ease, we can pay a deposit. You can try us out first."
Goodness.
Hua Qingqing put down her chopsticks.
She had planned to talk to the two of them about this sometime, but she didn't expect them to come to her on their own initiative and even be willing to pay a deposit…
Hua Qingqing looked at Guang Hei with an admiring look. Not bad, not bad. He was a good candidate. He had good judgment of people, good investment vision, and was quick to seize opportunities.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Guang Bai got a little anxious. "Qingqing, you don't have to worry at all if you leave the business in the capital to us."
Hua Qingqing smiled. "I'm not worried. I just didn't expect you to figure it out so quickly."
Figure it out?
The two of them realized what she meant and their faces lit up with joy.
"Yes, I originally wanted you to take over the business in the capital. But now, I think this idea is not good…"
?
The siblings were very anxious and wanted to ask what was wrong.
But Hua Qingqing obviously had more to say, so they didn't interrupt.
"Are you only willing to help sell the schoolbags? You'll get fifty cents for selling one bag, twenty - five cents each. The total amount is not small, but don't you want more?"
Of course.
Who didn't want to make more money? Who would dislike having too much money?
Hua Qingqing told them her new idea.
"I'm going back to start a factory specializing in making bags. Most of the schoolbag customers are students, but there are also men and women. So starting a factory is necessary."
Hua Qingqing simply described what she was going to do in the future.
But the Guang siblings saw more possibilities in it. Just one type of schoolbag had such a large market. What if they added men's bags and women's bags?
The profits were immeasurable.
Hua Qingqing saw that the siblings were breathing heavily and their faces were flushed. They were obviously convinced by her words.
Hua Qingqing calmly painted a big picture.
"I plan to build this factory into a brand, starting with bags. When it grows bigger in the future, we can expand the industry to include clothes, shoes… And there's another important reason for me to start a factory and build a brand. The method of making schoolbags is not difficult. There will definitely be others doing it in the future. We have to take the opportunity to make it bigger and stronger, and make our brand known to everyone."
Hua Qingqing had a little trick when painting the big picture. She used the word "we" at the end, which made Guang Hei and Guang Bai feel indignant, as if they could already see the people who would compete with them in the future.
Hua Qingqing nodded secretly. "I can start the factory by myself, but it will be very tiring. And I still have to go to school, so I can't handle everything. So I want to ask if you want to join my team?"
She had more than three thousand yuan and a Rolex watch, but the funds were still a bit short. In her plan, Zhou Cai was her only partner, because the other person had skills and savings. Now she set her sights on the Guang siblings.
Previously, Guang Bai had let it slip that she and Guang Hei had always had the habit of saving money. They had saved a lot in the past few years. Most importantly, they had the connections of their parents, which made it convenient to buy fabrics and zippers. It would also be convenient to buy other things in the future.
Oh, previously, she had asked Guang Hei to buy some zippers. He had brought back thirty pieces. There were no defective ones, but they were not long.
She thought they were suitable for making women's bags and collectible wallets. She could do some hand - embroidered patterns on the bags later. It would be a presentable gift.
They didn't have to be sold, but they had to look high - class!
The Guang siblings quickly made up their minds.
"How can we join?"
Hua Qingqing tapped on the table. "It's very simple. Pay the money. I'll take care of the major part of the investment in the factory. You'll be responsible for the minor part and the purchase of materials… In short, when the factory is set up and the schoolbags are mass - produced, you'll be responsible for selling them in the capital. After achieving results, you'll follow up in other provinces. So you two have to grow up quickly and be able to handle things independently."
The person in front of them said it so casually, but they couldn't help but be amazed!
Why was this person still just a high - school student, but her abilities were already dozens of times higher than her peers, and even better than most older people.
They trusted Hua Qingqing, because she had already proved herself with her strength.
