Qin Guan's destination was Zhou Jing's second aunt's store, the Third Clothing City of Y City. When Qin Guan arrived at her store, he was greeted by the sight of the store.
Zhou Jing was being used as a coolie by her second aunt. She was carrying bags of clothes from the warehouse to the retailers. Zhou Jing's second aunt shouted at Qin Guan, "Oh, it's you, Qin Guan. Come and sit down. Don't tire yourself out. Is it hot on the road? I'll buy you an ice cream. "
Hearing this, Zhou Jing wanted to cry but had no tears. "Second Aunt, you are my Second Aunt. Why do you treat outsiders better than you treat me?"
Zhou Jing's second aunt cast a disdainful glance at him and turned to Qin Guan enthusiastically. "Qin Guan, what can I do for you? Zhou Jing is too stupid to explain. "
Qin Guan smiled at her and said, "Aunt, Zhou Jing and Li Jian and I have a store at the First Seawater Bathing Beach. We sell swimsuits and rent swimming rings. We heard that your business in the clothing city is big, so we came to you for advice."
Hearing Qin Guan's praise, the second aunt smiled and squeezed out her wrinkled face. Zhou Jing muttered, "What big business? It's just a small store of six square meters..."
"Slap!" Before he could finish his words, Zhou Jing's second aunt slapped him on the head. "You're blaming me for being biased? Look at what you're saying. He's my nephew!"
Qin Guan hurriedly said, "Don't listen to him, aunt. I just want to know if we can sell the goods first and pay later. You know we are all students."
Hearing this, the second aunt covered her mouth and laughed. "I thought it was a big deal. Summer is coming, and my swimsuits are good. I don't need your clothes. Whatever style and model you want, you can choose as long as I have them. We're all family, so I'll sell them to you at the purchase price. You can decide how much you sell or how little you sell."
Hearing this, Qin Guan hurriedly replied in a sweet voice, "Thank you, aunt. Don't worry about us. We'll choose by ourselves."
Second Aunt nodded and pointed to the shelf over there. "Alright, I won't bother you anymore. Take your bags and pack them up. Just tell me the model number and the number of pieces."
Qin Guan and Zhou Jing nodded. One was holding the bag, while the other was looking around.
Qin Guan was amazed by the current style of swimwear.
How conservative. The newest one was the half-skirt swimsuit that only dared to reveal the waist.
Without further ado, Qin Guan picked out 10 men's trunks of average size. Five were triangular, and the other five were square.
Then, he chose 10 pairs of boys' swimming trunks and 10 pairs of girls' swimsuits. They were all colorful onesies with cute seersuckers.
Seersucker swimwear was the latest trend of this era. It was famous for its creases and the material that looked like small bubbles. Of course, the swimwear of that time was outdated now, but it was the most popular material at that time.
Qin Guan picked out 10 women's onesies and two midriff-baring swimsuits. Qin Guan was afraid that the conservative people of Y City would not be able to accept such revealing swimwear.
That was enough for the first day of sales. After all, most tourists would bring one or two swimsuits to the seaside. As for whether they could buy the swimwear from Qin Guan's stall? That would depend on people's approval of Qin Guan's taste.
They wrote down the model number and the number of swimwear and put them into the bag. After saying goodbye to his aunt, they went to the Cultural and Sports Wholesale Market. The swimming rings were sold at a small corner of the market.
Qin Guan found the stall owner and asked him about the thick rubber rings. Even the ones for children were red. Zhou Jing pointed at the colorful plastic rings and asked Qin Guan, "The ones here are prettier. Why don't you buy something like this?"
Qin Guan looked at Zhou Jing speechlessly. "You have a low IQ. I don't know what to say. Who would use a ring made of this material in the sea?"
"Don't you realize that the most important factor in choosing a ring is sturdy and durable? We have to check if there's any air leakage. Do you think you're in a swimming pool? "
"A small sharp stone can cut through the ring you've chosen, and a big wave can sweep you away with the ring. The most important factor in choosing a ring is to ensure that people who don't know how to swim can also swim in the sea. Pay attention to your IQ! "
Zhou Jing touched his head in embarrassment. As a local who had been swimming in the sea since he was a child, he had no concept of a swimming ring.
Qin Guan picked out three sturdy black rubber rings and two red children's rings.
The rings were bright in color and stood out when they floated in the sea. If a child was in danger and cried for help, the surrounding adults would find them in time.
He didn't forget to buy a small bicycle pump before he left. When they left the Sanzhan Wholesale Market, the two of them were in a mess.
Qin Guan hung up three rings, two big and one small, while Zhou Jing hung up two rings, one big and one small, with his clothes.
Well, let's not do anything else and go home first.
Qin Guan didn't stay idle when he got home. He put the leftover frozen seafood in the freezer and emptied it.
When Li Jian came back and reported the results of his work, he could use it to store cold drinks.
Zhou Jing took off his rings and Qin Guan found a nylon rope from the toolbox at home. He tied the five rings together so that they could be loaded easily.
All he needed now was a parasol and a shelf for hanging goods. He had to find a professional. Qin Guan called his cousin and told him what kind of hanger he needed. Actually, it was just a barbed wire net with a big hole and a square rack arranged in two horizontal and vertical rows.
It was a simple job. His cousin agreed without hesitation. He was afraid that Qin Guan would rob him of his barbecued skewers. It was the busiest time of the night market. What if Qin Guan robbed him of his job?
When his cousin finished the clothes rack, Qin Guan sent Zhou Jing to his father's Bureau of Retired Cadres. It was said that the Bureau of Retired Cadres had just finished a sports meeting, so there were more than 10 big umbrellas left. Although the words "A Gift from the Bureau of Retired Cadres of Y City" were printed on the umbrellas, they were still effective against the sun.
Zhou Jing borrowed them. They were collecting dust in a corner anyway. This was an effective resource redevelopment.
After sending Zhou Jing away, Qin Guan took out a Changsheng brand ice brick from the fridge and lay down on the sofa. He turned on the TV.
There was a TV series on TV called "Youth Out", starring Fan Pingping. Qin Guan spat out the ice brick in shock.
What kind of TV series is that? On TV, Fan Pingping had short hair and baby fat on her face, which reminded Qin Guan of his previous life.
Fan Bingbing and Qin Guan had gone to the same high school. Unfortunately, in her previous life, Qin Guan had been a tough guy who had just entered high school. He had been one of the boys who had been drooling and fantasizing about others.
