Chapter 286: Two hundred and eighty-six started to think about clothing_1

President Gu is a wealthy out-of-town boss, and the cost price of these clothes is just a little over ten thousand yuan, so this amount of money is definitely not a problem for him.

Moreover, Manager Wang guarantees that their clothes are definitely not as good as Huacheng’s clothes.

This is the garment city!

It’s just unknown whether such a big boss would be interested in this small business.

But even if he’s not interested, I still have to try, after all, that’s my hard-earned money.

The two arrived at Tianhe Road, where Manager Wang parked the car and led President Gu toward the three-story clothing building.

They chatted casually along the way.

Of course, the topic was first broached by Manager Wang. He looked at President Gu with a smile and respectfully said, "President Gu, may I ask where you are from?"

"Me? I’m from Haicheng," President Gu replied casually.

"Oh, that’s a nice place. I’ve heard the environment is very good. I’d like to travel there someday," Manager Wang said with a smile.

President Gu, looking at the closely packed tall buildings around, exclaimed, "Huacheng is great too, an international metropolis, a place where many people’s dreams start."

Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, so many people have expanded their territories and achieved glory here.

Hearing President Gu’s words, Manager Wang shook his head and couldn’t help but sigh.

"Don’t know if you’ve heard the saying, if you love someone, send them to Shenzhen, it’s a paradise where one can enjoy to the fullest; if you hate someone, also send them to Shenzhen, it’s hell, a place to experience the desolation of slums."

The Guangzhou of these days is not inferior to Shenzhen at all.

It’s virtually a microcosm.

President Gu couldn’t help but curl his lips, "You seem deeply moved, it seems you’ve suffered a lot."

Arriving at the entrance, Manager Wang took out the keys, unlocked the main door, went in, and switched on the power. All the incandescent lights instantly turned on, illuminating every corner of the building exceptionally clearly.

He turned to President Gu with a smile, "President Gu, please come in."

Upon hearing this, President Gu stepped inside. The interior was filled with individual business rooms, many with signs still on them, but unfortunately, they were all empty—a neat yet indescribably desolate sight.

The two started from the first floor and walked all the way to the third.

There were no leaky pipes; the facilities here were all in good condition. Nineteen million was truly a bargain.

Just as President Gu was secretly rejoicing, he saw Manager Wang swallow nervously and start to speak tensely, "President Gu, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you."

President Gu looked curious, "What is it?"

"To be honest, I used to run a few clothing stores here too, and I have some stock left over, ten thousand pieces of clothing. But the price is very cheap, only twenty thousand yuan. I wonder if you would be interested..."

The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became, until President Gu could barely hear him.

"Manager Wang..." he wanted Manager Wang to speak up.

But at this moment, Manager Wang was so nervous he couldn’t take it, his head filled with the thought that President Gu would refuse him.

Before President Gu could finish, Manager Wang hurriedly said, "If you don’t agree, it’s okay, I’ll think of other ways..."

It’s embarrassing to say, but having spent so much time in Huacheng, I don’t really know any other rich people besides Boss Li Haitao. President Li might be a second-generation rich kid, but after getting to know him better, you realize he has all the habits of a nouveau riche.

He has too many rules, too many quirks, and he’s always afraid of others taking advantage of him.

Almost everyone who worked with him has left, only Manager Wang has carefully stuck by his side, simply seeking a stable livelihood.

This is also why he went from being a nobody to achieving some success today.

President Gu scratched his head, looking puzzled.

"No, I think you’ve got it wrong. Start over from the beginning and say what you said before."

Seeing him practice in his bright red clothes, nervous and apprehensive, Gu Chen indeed felt a twinge of compassion.

Especially that line, "This place is heaven,and also hell."

The 2000 Huacheng was the hope of many, and yet the nightmare of just as many.

Manager Wang bowed his head and went over it again carefully.

"What I mean is, I have a batch of goods here, all of good quality, leftover stock. There’s about ten thousand pieces of clothing. If you’re interested, I can sell them to you at a discount. You could take them back to Haicheng, and even if you doubled the price, you’d make a tidy profit of twenty or thirty thousand," he muttered in a voice as fine as a mosquito’s.

He had no idea that Gu Chen, after buying a building, hardly had any money left, and the money he did have was all allocated for specific purposes. Apart from those, Gu Chen really didn’t have tens of thousands at his disposal.

Twenty or thirty thousand, Gu Chen certainly wanted to earn it, not just earn it, but earn it with joy and elation.

But Gu Chen’s thoughts were somewhat different from his.

As someone who had been reborn once, he deeply understood the strength and status of Huacheng’s clothing industry.

If he could establish a channel to purchase goods from here and sell them in Haicheng, he could make a neat hundred thousand a year at least.

From a future perspective, it really wasn’t bad, at least before Jack Ma came onto the scene.

Again, who would complain about having too much money?

The more ways to make money, the better!

Plus, this way, Ji Pianran could be a lady boss, sitting there drinking tea every day, which would also be a good thing for her.

He understood the importance of work for a person, not just as a stable source of income, but as something to do; people who are engaged in work don’t lose touch with society.

He also hoped that she would gradually make her own friends and find things she liked to do.

However, it would likely cost several tens of thousands to open a store.

Gu Chen smacked his lips, "I have an idea. Didn’t you just mention that you want to travel to Huacheng? How about taking the opportunity to go back with me?"

Manager Wang hadn’t expected Gu Chen to actually suggest that he go to Huacheng with him, and he was stunned.

"You mean, this is..."

He didn’t understand what Gu Chen meant.

Gu Chen smiled.

"What I mean is that you come with me to check out the market. If it seems right, we could completely get into the clothing business in Huacheng. If it goes well, we could even open branches. But it might be a bit beneath you, after all, you are a manager. If you do this, you’d be giving up that status."

Not only would he lose his manager’s status, but he’d also have to shuttle between two places—tiring indeed!

But the profits would definitely be much more than being a property manager; at worst, he could get forty percent of the monthly profits.

Forty percent, no matter what, is better than what a property company would offer, right?

If things go well, buying a house within a year wouldn’t be a problem.

Manager Wang furrowed his brow and looked down.

He knew very well how much money could be made by reselling clothes in smaller places, how many people became wealthy through Huacheng’s clothing.

But after so many years in this city, the thought of really leaving was somewhat difficult to bear.

What use was reluctance?

In this place teeming with talent, making a mark for oneself was exceedingly difficult.

A monthly salary of five thousand; if it was like this for a lifetime working for someone else, by thirty, it would likely still be the same.

Better to take the chance, follow Gu Chen, and if it worked out, he would be able to afford a house, afford a car.
