Chapter 310 Purchasing Goods
"It's too late, I'm really too late!" Chen Ting muttered to herself.
If she had known there were so many things in the South, she should have come sooner!
But it's fine now, she's ready to make a big splash!
"Sister, you're absolutely right!" Even Brother Chen was dazzled by the sheer number of items; there were just too many, and they were incredibly cheap.
"Live shoes on clearance sale! 15 yuan a pair, first come, first served! First come, first served!"
"Cloth shoes are cheap now, only 2 yuan a pair!"
"Socks and clothes are cheap! Everything's cheap!"
Chen Ting and Chen Sange were dazzled by the choices. "Sis, do you think I would look good in those leather shoes?"
"They look great! Leather shoes look good on anyone!"
Chen Ting gave a perfunctory answer, while pulling her third brother toward the clothes stall.
She doesn't care about leather shoes; she cares about clothes!
Fortunately, although Brother Chen was reluctant, he quickly came to his senses and pulled her into the clothing stall.
Once the two of them squeezed inside, they discovered that the clothing stall had a truly vast selection.
"Boss, what's cheap?"
"Hey little sister, let me tell you, this is the cheapest, only ten yuan, just ten yuan!" The stall owner casually handed over a piece of clothing.
"A Dacron shirt!" Brother Chen exclaimed excitedly again!
Chen Ting touched the fabric Chen Shan was wearing in her hand; she hadn't originally wanted it.
Having come from the future, she only wanted clothes made of pure cotton, which was soft and absorbent. She would never have even looked at this kind of polyester material before.
But seeing that Brother Chen seemed very excited, she took the shirt back and looked at it again.
"Little sister, this is really cheap! This Dacron shirt is only 10 yuan!" Brother Chen said casually.
Chen Ting finally dredged it up from her memory; this thing seemed to be quite expensive in this era.
What are you waiting for? Buy it!
"Boss, I need a lot, can you give me a discount?"
Having identified her target, Chen Ting began negotiating the price with the shop owner.
Brother Chen was surprised that his sister had started so quickly. What was going on? Wasn't she just looking at shirts? How come she's started bargaining now?
After much effort, Chen Ting finally managed to negotiate a price with the shop owner: eight yuan per piece, and she ordered 100 pieces.
Chen San was completely bewildered. He quickly and secretly tugged at Chen Ting's sleeve and asked her, "Little sister, are you crazy? Where did you get so much money!"
His parents said they would only give them two hundred yuan, including the fifty yuan He Lin gave for breaking off the engagement.
Well, the money was borrowed by Chen Ting.
She wanted to start a business but didn't have the funds, so she had to borrow them. Lin Liuyi was very generous and gave her several gold bars.
Chen Ting sold a few gold bars to raise 5000 yuan.
For her first purchase, she didn't dare to buy too much. Besides, compared to later generations, the price of gold was too cheap at this time. Buying was fine, but selling felt like a loss for Chen Ting.
"Never mind that, I borrowed it from someone else!"
"Borrowed? How much did you borrow? How are you going to pay it back?" Brother Chen began to worry.
"Hey, Third Brother, this isn't the time to talk about that. Let's see what else we should buy!"
She'll pay it back when she makes money. It's not like she squandered it. This is the start-up capital for her business. Anyway, she'll definitely be able to pay it back, so Chen Ting isn't in a hurry at all.
She took every opportunity to visit different stalls and compare prices, hoping to find the item that best suited her needs.
Looking at the flow of people, Chen Ting couldn't help but sigh, "There are always clever people out there."
However, hehe, she now belongs to this wave too.
The two squeezed and squeezed until they reached a stall that also sold clothes, but few people were paying attention to it.
Chen Ting and her companion walked over curiously to investigate, wanting to know why no one was buying clothes.
The stall was filled with old-fashioned and dark-colored clothes, no wonder there were hardly any customers.
The stall owner was a middle-aged woman with a haggard face. When she saw someone coming, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.
Chen Ting picked up a piece of clothing and examined it carefully, when suddenly her eyes lit up.
Although these clothes are old-fashioned in style, the fabric is thick and sturdy. If she makes a slight change, many ideas will flash through her mind in an instant.
She turned to the stall owner and asked, "Boss, how much are these clothes?"
The stall owner sighed and said, "Young lady, to be honest, my family urgently needs money. I was thinking of selling these unsold clothes to make some money, but nobody wants them. If you really want them, you can take them all for five yuan each."
Chen Ting was secretly delighted, but outwardly remained calm and said, "Three yuan a piece, I'll buy them all."
The stall owner hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed.
Chen Sange's eyes widened, and he wanted to say something, but Chen Ting stopped him.
Chen Ting was thinking to herself that she would definitely make a fortune after modifying these clothes.
Brother Chen was a little worried. "Sis, those clothes don't look good to me. Will we be able to sell them?"
"Don't worry, I'll handle this!"
Chen Ting calculated the money she had left and went to buy some plastic beads and the like.
In the end, Chen Ting and her third brother left the market with a full haul.
Although Chen Sange was still somewhat worried about the loan, seeing Chen Ting's confident demeanor, he gradually felt relieved and looked forward to his sister's next plan succeeding.
Chen Ting was still preoccupied with how to renovate those old clothes, unaware that their ambitious project had already attracted attention.
"Hey bro, is this woman out of her mind? Those clothes are so tattered, how could anyone buy them?" the stalker complained.
"Women, they just don't have a good eye for business. But we don't care about the goods, we just want the money. We'll make our move tomorrow when this woman goes to pay the balance."
The thief gang had a good plan; they were confident that there was nothing in this area they couldn't steal.
Sure enough, when the two of them went out the next day with their bags, they hadn't gone far when Chen Ting felt her hand loosen and the bag she was carrying disappeared.
Huh? You stole her things?
Chen Sange immediately became anxious and rushed forward without thinking.
Chen Ting quickly pulled the other person back; they were in an unfamiliar place, so it was best not to chase after them.
"But there's money in that bag!" Brother Chen was anxious, but dared not shout loudly.
"Um, Third Brother, I didn't leave my money there!"
"No money? That's good, I was so scared!" He almost thought he would have to move his whole family to pay off debts.
"Where did you put your money? And what's in that bag?" Brother Chen asked curiously.
"Of course I put the money in a safe place! As for what's in that bag, it's the steamed buns we brought!" Chen Ting said with ill intent.
At this moment, the thief, thinking he had succeeded, excitedly picked up the bag and was about to open it to see how much money was inside.
When they opened it, all they found were clumps of green hair.
