“Then we should have it transferred to us? It’s a great opportunity but how are you going to go merchandizing when you are pregnant?” said Chen Fei as he rubbed Zhang Huaxiu’s belly. Nothing is more important than her and the child.

Zhang Huaxiu smiled when she heard that. “I know. I know what I am doing. But I would like to opt for option #2.”

“Why is that?”

“Do you know much inventory we have right now? Over 60,000 yuan. That’s on top of the cost of switching to the new location and we will have to pay rent. It will cost at least 80,000 yuan all said and done. We have already borrowed money from your uncle when we bought this apartment and we are still paying him back. How are we going to come up with 80,000 yuan?”

“We can borrow some more from my uncle.” Chen Fei felt that it was a rare opportunity.

“The capital is only a part of the reasons. If I really want to go that route, I am sure Shu Yan will be only with me paying her in installment, given our relationship. I want to pick option #2 so I can be tied to her more. I was very short sighted at the beginning and Shu Yan had truly opened my eyes for me. She doesn’t seem like someone from the countryside at all. She is very mighty. I have a feeling that following her lead would not go wrong.” Zhang Huaxiu had the feeling that if she took over the shop, she would have no more ties with Shu Yan and they would slowly drift apart. If they were equal partners, on the other hand, they would be in touch from time to time or she could ask Shu Yan for some ideas in the future to expand their business further. All in all, there was no downside to that.

That made Chen Fei fell silent. He had worked with Shu Yan in the past and she was, surely, a woman who could see the big picture.

“As long as that’s what you want to do.”

“Yes. My plan is to prime Ling-jie up after the move and, when I am further along, promote her to be the store manager and hire another girl. That way all I need to do is to man the cash register and take care of the books,” said Zhang Huaxiu with a slight smile.

“Have you forgotten about merchandizing? How do you propose to do that while you are pregnant?” Chen Fei felt that that was the crux of the problem. Why else would Shu Yan want to get rid of the shop? Was the 20,000 plus yuan a month an issue to her?

“I am not going to merchandize from the warehouse,” said Zhang Huaxiu with sparkling eyes. “I planned on having a talk with Shu Yan tomorrow and make the remodeling of the store across the street more upscale. Forget about mid-high end, we will just go high-end. We will bring in the top inventory and sell them for three to four times more.”

Chen Fei gasped. Right now a piece of spring clothing at Shu Yan’s place cost around 50 yuan. It was already expensive. Three to four times of that would be 100 ~ 200 yuan or even more. That was almost one month’s salary for some. Would they really be able to sell them?

Zhang Huaxiu glanced over at him. She was enlightened by her sister-in-law.

She had the same thoughts as her sister-in-law when she first started working at Shu Yan’s shop. So what if someone bartered a little? They were still making a lot. Why wouldn’t they want to sell them. She didn’t understand. Over time, she had learned it that it was about bartering at all. It was about the class of the shop. And then there’s the quality of the clothes. Customers were no fools, especially women. They were always smarter than one would think.

The other thing was that her sister-in-law ran around like a chicken with its head cut off day in and day out and only made about 7,000 ~ 8,000 yuan a month. If she was to go the high-end route, she would only need to sell 7 to 8, maybe 10 or so items and could easily make over 10,000 yuan a month.

That was exactly what Shu Yan meant by quality not quantity.

When Zhang Huaxiu told Shu Yan her idea the next day, Shu Yan was a little surprised.

“That’s a very good idea and we will move forward with your idea. The shop will be all yours in the future.” Shu Yan liked her idea. It was a testimony that she could see the big picture more and more. And the shop, under her management, would only become better and better.

“I’ll do my best.” Zhang Huaxiu couldn’t contain her excitement. She had thought about having her own shop and becoming her own boss. She just didn’t think that moment would come so soon. And requiring no investment on her part to top.
