Chapter 1787: Sorting Out

The couple finished the finishing work and lay on the bed, still feeling like they were dreaming. The three-day exhibition had passed in the blink of an eye.

And they had taken orders for over 2 million US dollars, smoothly and unbelievably.

"Our week-long itinerary, is this the end?"

"It's over! Sold over 10 million!"

Lin Xiuqing was excited again when she heard this number. She propped up her upper body with her elbows. "The big leader is wise. The open policy allows our private manufacturing enterprises to be qualified to attend."

Ye Yaodong also sat up. "It's a pity it's too far away, and there aren't many houses now, otherwise I'd buy some houses and land."

"Why buy houses and land here? Our factory won't open here, it's too far."

"As an investment. But it is indeed too far. If you buy land, you definitely can't keep it. This area is the periphery of the circle drawn by the leader. If you buy a house, there aren't many houses to buy now."

"Forget it, let's talk about it in two years. I looked around for the past few days, and buildings are being built everywhere. When we come over in a few years, don't talk about buying a few sets, just buy a whole building."

Ye Yaodong laughed. "Your idea is direct enough."

"Of course. We'll approve a piece of land in Zhoushan and build a whole dormitory area, hundreds of sets. Coming here, do you think we'll buy one or two sets? Just buy a whole building directly, so it's convenient to collect rent later, saving the trouble of having one here and one there."

"Then let's talk about it in two years."

The couple fantasized beautifully, and the future was indeed worth their fantasy.

The exhibition ended completely, and everyone let out a sigh of relief, feeling their bones were light, the pressure disappeared instantly, and everyone slept well at night.

These past few days, every night they were either too excited to sleep, or uneasy and worried about the scene after the hall opened the next day, or what situation they would encounter. Every night their brains were fantasizing, especially the couple.

Early the next morning, after they got up, they first went to handle the consignment of exhibits, and then they had half a day left. They didn't go far, just strolled around the surroundings after packing their luggage, and bought some specialties and food for the two days on the train.

At 2 PM, they boarded the return train.

The mood on the return journey was naturally incomparable to the mood on the way here.

On the way here, it was expectation and uneasiness; on the way back, it was joy and satisfaction.

When they arrived in Shanghai, it was already the morning two days later.

They arrived first, and the consigned goods were expected to arrive in two or three days. Ye Yaodong first took the team to take a boat directly. Here, Lin Xiuqing would take people to pick up the goods in a few days, and then arrange for cars and boats to transport them to Zhoushan.

He actually wanted to stay for two more days, but the exhibition had just ended, and there were many things to do later. It wasn't that he could shake them off just because he wanted to.

So he had to go back to the factory with the team first, finish the subsequent things, and maybe he could find time in a few days to come over and pick up the consigned goods, and by the way, stay in Shanghai for a few days to accompany the children.

From their departure to their return, it was about 9 days. The three siblings, Ye Chenghu, Ye Chengyang, and Ye Xiaoxi, counted the days with their fingers every day, sighing every day looking at the calendar.

They wanted to make a phone call but couldn't. There was no fixed number, so they could only wait for the couple to find time to call back. After being away for 9 days, they only had time to make a phone call back to ask two questions when they first arrived.

When Lin Xiuqing returned to their home in Shanghai with big and small bags of things, it wasn't noon dismissal time yet, and there was no one at home. Except for a small car in the courtyard, it was empty.

Last year, the farmhouse courtyard they bought before was torn down and rebuilt. This year, they had already moved in. It was a three-story Western-style small building, similar to the one in the JA district, except that the front and back courtyards were very large, and the car didn't feel cramped parked in the courtyard.

After she put down the things and simply tidied herself up, she first rode her bicycle to Ye Huimei's place.

Ye Huimei was cooking at home alone. Hearing the shout at the door, she was pleasantly surprised.

"Third sister-in-law, when did you come back?"

"Just arrived home and came over first."

She happily wiped her hands on her apron and went up to meet her. "Came back just in time. I was planning to cook noodles, cook a bit more and share with you. Your three children were talking about it early this morning, saying you would definitely come back today."

"Every day they were muttering, when are you coming back, especially the youngest one, who has to mutter a few times every night before sleeping. Early this morning, she was calling that you would definitely come back today, and also asked me to tell you to go pick her up after school."

Lin Xiuqing listened with a full face of auntie smiles. "Then I'll go pick them up after school. Sorry to trouble you for taking care of them these days."

"What trouble, just cooking an extra meal, anyway, it has to be cooked. It's just that they are noisy when they come back from school every day. Six people, three of mine and three of yours, the roof was almost lifted."

"Chenghu is so old, still arguing with them?"

"Isn't it? The twins like the two older brothers the most, following behind their butts every day, brother long, brother short. They can't fight, but they are very noisy. Plus, they were muttering every day, when are you coming back? Did you call back?"

"Busy from morning to night every day, no time to call. Only when we first arrived, we had time to call back."

"Is it fun? Is Guangzhou lively? Is Guangzhou prosperous or is Shanghai prosperous?"

"If you really want to say, Guangzhou is more prosperous, mainly because there are many people, and maybe it's because the places I went to had many people? You haven't seen it. The night market is full of people late at night, people squeezing people, and a pile of foreigners at a glance."

Lin Xiuqing was excited when she mentioned this, describing vividly to her the various scenes she had seen in Guangzhou these past few days.

Just returned, she was holding a belly full of words, just missing a listener.

"... You haven't seen the Thirteen Hongs. How many stalls are in that alley? People are like ants moving house, carrying goods out in big bags and small bags from the alley endlessly."

"After I walked in, it was really exaggerated. A pile of people grabbing goods, afraid of not grabbing them, almost fighting. Just that bag of goods, before it was even opened, a pile of people were staring and grabbing, fingers were almost scratching people's hands."

"... That old lady lay on the goods, calling that she was sick, letting no one touch her... Adong and I were dumbfounded..."

"Those people, it's as if the things were free, seeing them and hugging them into their arms, grabbing them when they saw them, regardless of what they were. After strolling around inside, I finally understood what 'popular goods' meant—it meant you have to grab them..."

She was vivid, babbling for a while, and by the way, helping Ye Huimei, the two one listening, one talking.

Ye Huimei only occasionally felt surprised and exclaimed a few times, and Lin Xiuqing talked even more vigorously. There was also the exhibition matter, and the two chatted while eating.

The children were all arranged to eat lunch at school this year, saving the trouble of picking them up at noon. Now they only need to be picked up home after school in the evening.

So there were only the sister-in-law and sister eating at noon, and the two were also free.

"Eat quickly, after eating go to my place, I also brought many specialties, a big bag of clothes, dozens of pieces, you go to my place and pick, pick a few more."

"By the way, you also give me some advice, which clothes are suitable for whom. It's rare to go out on a long trip, so I brought more back to distribute."

"It is estimated that you won't need to buy clothes for the next few years. The clothes there are really cheap, and a pile of people grabbed them. It really is grabbing is earning..."

Ye Huimei was moved by her words. "Okay, anyway, the children don't come home at noon, and it's idle during the day. After eating, I'll go to your house with you and see the things you brought back."

The two quickly finished the noodles, then Ye Huimei locked the door and also rode her bicycle back with her.

When Lin Xiuqing returned, except for tidying up her personal belongings, the things she brought back were left untouched in the living room, just waiting for Ye Huimei to come over and help her unpack.

"This big bag you brought is all clothes?"

"Yes, this big bag is all clothes, dozens of pieces, sizes are complete, pick whatever you want later."

"How much is this bag?"

"Two or three hundred yuan, very cheap."

Ye Huimei's eyes widened. "Such a big bag is only two or three hundred yuan? Isn't one piece only two or three yuan?"

"Not really, some winter clothes take up more space..."

"That's also cheap. A woolen coat in winter costs two hundred, and your big bag is only two or three hundred?" Ye Huimei couldn't believe it.

"Mostly spring clothes. It's out of season now, and they are already wearing short sleeves there. Have you ever seen clothes sold by weight? Part of this is! They are selling summer clothes there now, and some autumn and winter ones that are out of size or surplus are sold cheaply. There are also some styles from last year, and the thin ones are all sold by weight. Very cheap, I've seen them, they are all very good, hurry up and unpack to pick."

Lin Xiuqing said as she took scissors to unpack a big package, took out all the clothes inside, and threw them all over the floor.

Anyway, it was a tile floor, very clean. It was better to pull them all out to pick and choose, and it would be easy to classify later.

Ye Huimei had never seen anyone buy clothes like this, her eyes were straight, it was really clothes all over the floor...

"Don't just stand there and watch, hurry up, pull them all out and see what you want."

"Isn't it too cheap? Wouldn't any piece put in a shop outside sell for ten or twenty?"

"Yes, so I saw it was cheap, and it was sold by weight, so I quickly pulled them all back. If we can't wear them, just mail them back to mother and let her handle them. There will always be someone who wants them. These materials are all quite good."

The sister-in-law and sister pulled more and more vigorously, more and more excited.

For the whole afternoon, the two sat in the pile of clothes, constantly trying them on and picking them.

"... I tell you, when I was with Adong, our eyes were also straight. Hearing it was so cheap, and sold by weight, we just pulled them all and packed them up, didn't pick, anyway, the material felt no different, so we just packed them all."

"If there are holes, or where there are problems, don't be afraid. We all have sewing machines at home, just repair them a bit."

Ye Huimei's mouth was about to smile crookedly. "I see you mail them all back to mother, she can sell them all, and can make a big profit."

"Hahaha, yes, wait and pick, pick out the ones to give away, and just pack the rest back to mother."

"It's a pity, Dongqing got pregnant not long after getting married, the small shop in the city couldn't be opened, and she went to be a boss's wife to raise the baby. Otherwise, just mail them back to Dongqing and let her sell them."

"She is also good as a young mistress now, saving herself from being tired and busy. As long as her man has money, she can also enjoy happiness."

"I really want to open this shop, but unfortunately, there are three drag-bottles, and I can't stretch my hands at all."

"No way, we women have to take care of the family a bit. Didn't I also take care of the elderly and children at home, and take care of that small workshop? Only last year did I have time to come over and help."

"If these clothes can be sold, it's not a small profit. There's a 10-fold profit, right?" Ye Huimei knew the cost price of these clothes and the market price, and she was very moved, wishing she could open a clothing store herself to sell them.

"If you calculate the price difference according to the cost price and the selling price, there is. But you have to calculate the travel expenses and expenses."

"If you stock up a lot in one trip, the profit is also not small."

"That's right, but you have to take risks, and it's chaotic there, and there are many thieves and robbers. You are definitely not safe alone. But there is no shortcut to making money, and you have to take risks. It's just that you are dragging three children now, it's not suitable."

"Yes, want to do it but can't, dragging three children."

"I'm also moved when I look at it, but Adong has a big stall, I have to help him."

Ye Huimei smiled and said, "Forget it, my third brother now has a big family and a big business, what you're tossing isn't enough for his fraction. Helping him is better than you tossing these."

"That's right, so I just think about it."

"How many goods did you sell at this Canton Fair? Is it okay?"

Lin Xiuqing grinned. "Quite good, it's considered a big step forward. Go again in the second half of the year, this year is considered stable."

"Amazing."

The sister-in-law and sister were busy with that pile of clothes all afternoon. Anyway, there were only the two of them at home, they tried them on and took them off on the spot, and were full of spirit all afternoon.

When it was time to pick up the children, they had to put it aside first.

"Time is up, fortunately I looked up at the time, otherwise I would have missed it."

"It doesn't matter if you miss it, anyway, you have two bodyguards at home, they will naturally go pick up the children when the time comes."

"Been out for so many days, still have to pick them up, give them a surprise, go pick them up together."
