Chapter 145 Who wouldn't want something given away for free?
The next day at 7:30, after breakfast, the group went through the mall's employee entrance to the shop that Hua Li had rented.
The cleanliness of the shop and the placement of the counters were all arranged by the three generations of the family long ago.
They need to hang the main items to be sold that day—leather coats, trousers, and leather shoes—in the shop at 10 a.m., before the mall officially opens.
It's worth mentioning that Hua Heqiu, Yan Moli, and Hua Zhigang were all wearing leather coats.
Fortunately, the mall has air conditioning, so it's not hot.
After everyone hung up the goods as Hua Lichu had instructed,
Hua Li began to divide the work.
Hua Antao was mainly responsible for cashier duties, Grandpa was responsible for inventory and filling out sales reports, two employees were responsible for distributing flyers outside the mall, and the others were responsible for sales.
As for Hua Zhigang, he mainly came to be a model.
However, if he closes a deal, Hua Lichu will pay him a salary according to the pre-agreed commission.
Seeing that it was still early, Hua Lichu took out the flyers she had prepared earlier and, along with two employees and Yan Moli, went outside the mall.
Give a flyer to every passerby.
People in that era were very simple and honest, untouched by the propaganda of later generations.
They would accept the flyers that Hua Lichu and the others handed them.
Not only will they accept it, but they will also examine it carefully on the spot, and ask questions immediately if they don't understand something.
Although Yan Moli took off her leather coat as soon as she left the mall because of the weather.
But Hua Lichu was prepared; she carried a cardboard bag with her leather coat inside.
Sure enough, whenever a passerby shows interest or encounters something they don't understand, she immediately takes out her leather coat and shows it to them.
Perhaps it's the fact that selling leather coats in the summer is just too intriguing?
Perhaps it was because the leather coats were of such high quality and much cheaper than in winter that a group of people, after learning about them, went straight to Hua Lichu's store.
Upon arriving at the store, I was instantly captivated by the two models, Hua Zhigang and Hua Heqiu.
But when asked about the price, they wanted to bargain.
Hua Lichu had anticipated this.
She specially made a whiteboard and put it up at the door.
Leather coat 99, trousers 45, a set 139, leather shoes 40. Individuals spending over 500 receive a free cotton T-shirt. Groups spending over 1000 receive a free pair of earrings; suitable for children and spouses. No bargaining! No bargaining! No bargaining!
The same sentence was repeated three times, with a bright red exclamation mark added to emphasize Hua Lichu's determination not to haggle.
In her view, she went to the mall specifically and spent so much money to rent a storefront so that her clothes could fetch a higher price.
If she comes here and has to haggle over prices like at a roadside stall, she might as well just set up a stall in the square.
Most importantly, those middle-aged women were incredibly skilled at bargaining.
A piece of clothing is cut in half, and the price needs to be reduced even further.
Who can bear this?
But the older women have plenty of time to keep you occupied; if one hour isn't enough, they'll talk for two hours.
Hua Lichu was eager to recoup her funds and simply didn't have the time or energy to entertain them.
Fortunately, they made their determination clear from the beginning.
Anyway, she had observed that, apart from herself, no one else in the entire mall would sell winter clearance clothes in the summer.
In other words, those who don't want to buy it won't find a cheaper store to buy it once they leave this store.
Hehe, exclusive business, that's how awesome it is.
At 10 o'clock sharp, Hua Lichu had two employees take samples and continue handing out flyers on the roadside.
She then took Yan Moli and headed straight for the shop.
After more than half a year of training, Hua Lichu, Yan Moli, and Hua Heqiu have become very eloquent.
We won't say it's calling a deer a horse.
But they still have the ability to deceive people, to speak human language to human beings, and to speak ghost language to ghosts.
Hua Antao may not be eloquent, but she has an exceptionally sharp mind and is solely focused on making money.
In short, this wasn't their first time working together, and their strong rapport allowed them to cooperate very well.
By noon, half of the clothes Hua Lichu had hung on the wall had been sold.
While there weren't many people around, Hua Lichu hurriedly ran downstairs, ordered a few boxed meals, and brought them up.
After finishing our meal, we brought in another batch of goods to make sure the walls were completely covered.
To prevent the two employees handing out flyers from getting heatstroke, Hua Lichu called them back before 11 a.m.
Both of them worked at a milk tea shop and a boutique for more than half a year; they were both hardworking people.
They also have a keen eye for things.
Hua Lichu didn't assign them any specific tasks, but they spontaneously became bricks in the revolution, moving wherever they were needed.
Around 3 or 4 pm is when the mall is busiest with people.
A group of customers poured into the mall from outside.
Many people spotted Hua Lichu's shop at a glance.
There's no way around it; I don't know who came up with the idea of selling winter clothes in the summer.
Humans have a natural curiosity.
Out of curiosity, I couldn't help but take a second look.
"Take a closer look," Hua Lichu quickly pulled the person into the shop.
It's okay if you don't buy it; touching it or taking a look won't cost you anything.
And so, those thrifty and hardworking aunties and grandmothers were "seduced".
Anyway, the clothes won't get damaged if I leave them there, and I can wear them next year. Since they're cheap now, why don't I buy a set?
I bought one for my husband, but I've been wearing the same clothes for years. Maybe I should buy myself a set too?
Forget it, I can't let myself suffer.
I'm trying to save money for my family!
That's right, it's about saving money!
You can save tens of dollars on one set of clothes, so you can save more than a hundred dollars on two sets.
What? A single person spends 500 and gets a free pure cotton short-sleeved shirt?
I touched it and the quality is pretty good. It's really pure cotton, and pure cotton absorbs sweat. You'd buy one for seven or eight yuan on its own!
Two sets of clothes cost 139, and a pair of leather shoes cost 40. We've already gone to 318. Should we buy another set for the family?
Of course, there are also things I'm reluctant to part with.
But the whiteboard says, "If multiple people place an order totaling over 1,000, each person will receive a pair of earrings, which can be worn by children or loved ones."
It means that if you don't have enough yourself, you can combine orders with others.
I'm not exactly short of money, but it's free! Who wouldn't want something that's free?
It's just talking to a stranger for a few minutes, isn't it?
Attracted by the earrings, who cares if we know each other or not? Once we're in the same store, we're all friends.
