Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

In addition, the Huanxi Boutique had not been open for more than 20 days, so many customers went to Xidan.

The new restaurant that Xu Wanning and Zhang Kaiqi plan to open is in Xidan. When choosing a location, Xu Wanning made a special investigation around Xidan and found that there were indeed a lot more boutiques and the like.

But because she was pressed for time, she only knew that many new boutiques had opened there, but she had no idea what the things sold there were like.

But there are many clothing stores in Xidan. When she was choosing a location for her new restaurant, she visited several of them nearby. The styles of the clothes were relatively fashionable. Of course, the prices were not cheap either, at least not much better than the tailor-made products in ready-made clothing stores.

"Let's just ignore that and continue to run our boutique."

Listening to Xu Wanning's calm tone, Tang Ting was a little excited: "Wanning, seeing that our business is about to be divided up by others, why are you not anxious at all?"

It's really a pity that the emperor is not in a hurry to kill the eunuch!

This is not quite appropriate. After all, for Xu Wanning, even without the income from the boutique, she still has many other stores. Maybe she doesn't even care about the profits from the boutique.

But this is not the case for Tang Ting.

Compared to studying, she was more interested in doing business, otherwise she would not have boldly started reselling clothes after going to Guangzhou with Xu Wanning.

Besides, Xu Wanning was very generous and gave her a high basic salary and an even higher commission. Since the boutique opened, she had received more than 7,000 yuan in commission.

More than 7,000 yuan in 1982 was equivalent to two or three years' salary for their family!

How strong is the purchasing power of seven thousand yuan?

During the summer vacation, she took her mother and two sisters-in-law to travel around Beijing, and also went to Hebei Province. They ate good meals every day and stayed in a guesthouse with a good environment. In total, they spent less than 300 yuan.

She currently has a savings of over 7,000 yuan!

Admittedly, with this money, she is already a wealthy woman, but whenever she thinks about the boutique's business getting worse, Tang Ting feels a little sad.

Chen Qiaoqiao had the same idea.

Originally, she was not like Tang Ting, who attached great importance to the profits of the boutique. The basic salary alone every month was enough for her to spend for a long time.

But now, she knows that she has no way out, and only if she earns more money can she feel more confident.

What's more, the boutique is also Xu Wanning's business, and she hopes to make more money for Xu Wanning.

Xu Wanning silently opened two bottles of drinks and placed them in front of Tang Ting and Chen Qiaoqiao respectively, then she spoke slowly.

"Business is like this. No one's business can be prosperous forever. The market is so big, I can't have the cake and eat it all by myself, right? There are so many people in Beijing, and our boutique is so small. It's impossible for me to make all the money from everyone, right?"

Tang Ting curled her lips and said, "I guess they were jealous of our boutique's good business, so they opened a boutique following suit."

Xu Wanning felt a little guilty.

After all, her business ideas were all simplified based on later ideas and could not really be considered her own.

"In short, in short, we just need to take care of our own store. We should not speculate about whether other people's business is good or not, and we should not feel unbalanced. Being ourselves is the most important thing."

You can’t stop others from opening boutiques, right?

That would be a bit too overbearing.

Moreover, it is true that Xu Wanning is rich now, but there are many people in Beijing who are richer than her. Why should she put herself in a passive state in order to suppress others?

That's not good.

"Speaking of which, after the summer vacation is over, we will be promoted to junior year. Making money is important, but I still hope that you can devote some of your energy to studying. As for the boutique business, even if it gets worse, it will still be profitable every month."

But with so many stores opening in Xidan, the business of boutiques will definitely be affected.

Even if the monthly turnover was reduced by one third, it was still within Xu Wanning's acceptable range.

After all, the things sold in the boutique were all sent to her by Boss Yang from Guangzhou. A few large packages each time were enough for the boutique to sell for a month, and she only had to pay a few dozen yuan for shipping fees.

The profit of a boutique is really high, but the profit of a cosmetics store is even higher than that of a boutique.

The cosmetics store has only been open for half a month, but its turnover has already exceeded Xu Wanning's expectations.

"Come to think of it, you two have several thousand dollars on hand now, right?"

Chen Qiaoqiao nodded first: "I have always been frugal with my money. The school gives me a subsidy of 25 yuan per month, plus our boutique provides meals, so my monthly expenses basically do not exceed 30 yuan. I have saved almost all of the salary and commission you gave me."

A large part of the thirty yuan that Chen Qiaoqiao spent was spent in boutiques.

After all, she is a young lesbian, and she can earn money, so she occasionally buys some jewelry or new clothes at the boutique at the purchase price. The expenses on this amount to more than ten or twenty yuan every month.

There was no way, there were so many beautiful things in the boutique that she couldn't help but buy them.

But compared to Tang Ting, she spent less.

"When I severed ties with my parents, I gave them 2,000 yuan. I still have about 5,600 yuan on hand now."

There were also dozens of dollars in small changes, which Chen Qiaoqiao did not count.

Xu Wanning looked at Tang Ting again: "What about you? How much money do you have now?"

"About six thousand five."

Tang Ting spends money lavishly, but money lasts long these days. If she hadn't taken her mother and two sisters-in-law out for a trip during this period, she should still have 7,000 yuan.

"Money is easy to depreciate if you keep it in your hands. I don't know if you have noticed that the purchasing power of money is getting worse and worse."

"Of course!" Tang Ting agreed, "My mom told me a few days ago that my dad's salary has increased by 20 yuan a month. But the amount of money we have left over every month is one-third less than before!"

Before, I had to give her some living expenses and pocket money, but even so, I could still save a lot every month.

Now that her father's salary has increased, she no longer needs any financial support from her family, and can even buy some things every time she goes home.

But even so, the monthly surplus is much less.

Tang Ting doesn’t usually cook for herself, so she doesn’t know that the prices of meat, rice and flour are all rising, and these are just the prices at the supply and marketing cooperative.
