"This lady, this is our new lipstick number this year. There are no other brands. You see, our salesperson is using the lipstick of this color today. Is it very white and very attractive. "

"This lady, this is our classic liquid foundation. There are three color numbers to choose from. It can modify the dullness and subtle flaws of the skin, and our liquid foundation also has the effect of nourishing the skin. While modifying your face, it also nourishes and repairs."

Jiangliu and her sister Jiang Shengnan looked at this so-called Pearl City's largest department store curiously. Half of the ground floor was occupied by cosmetics counters. Perhaps because of the year of the year, these cosmetics counters were surrounded by women.

Jiang Shengnan was such a grown-up that she saw the scene for the first time. She thought that the shopping malls in the county were already superb. As a result, the commodities sold in this big city were rare things that she had never seen before. It is dozens of times larger than the small department store in my hometown. I can't look up at the top. I can see the flowers at a glance.

However, the woman's nature is to like those beautiful clothes, jewelry and cosmetics. Even if Jiang Shengnan is only eleven years old and is not yet in the age of makeup, she cannot erase her love for these makeup cosmetics.

At this time, she stared at the women who were around the lipstick counter trying on lipstick, watching their charming faces after applying lipstick, and couldn't help but want to try it.

"Dad, buy a lipstick for Mom. I think the color is pretty good and suitable for Mom."

Jiang Liu tugged at Dad's sleeve and pointed to the direction of the lipstick counter.

In his impression, most women like this kind of thing. Take the mother in his world, although the conditions are not allowed, and the atmosphere there is not so open, but in the New Year, his mother still Will secretly use the red paper to write the couplet to sip his lips, so that his lips look red.

Of course, this was accidentally seen by Jiang Liu. In Yao Huilan's inherent thinking, a woman of her age should not be dressed like that, so everything had to be sneaky.

"Your mother doesn't like that stuff."

Jiang Jianjun was an uninteresting man. He glanced at the lipstick counter surrounded by women and said without thinking.

"That color, painted like a monster eating a child, your mother would not like it." Jiang Jianjun said confidently: "Your mother likes money, your mother is the most happy every time I take money home, If you buy these useless things, your mother will scold me."

In Jiang Jianjun's heart, his daughter-in-law's favorite things are him and children and money, or practical things like clothes and food.

Obviously their family had saved so much money, and her daughter-in-law still used the supply and marketing cooperative for fifty cents and a jar of vanilla clam oil, which shows that these things are not attractive to his wife.

Thanks to his dad who was born in this age of arranged marriages, otherwise he will definitely not be able to catch up with the girl he likes.

Jiang Liu sighed while looking at the uninteresting father. He really didn't understand women at all, especially women who were reluctant to eat and wear when they were mothers.

"Dad, I bet with you, Mom will definitely like it, you just buy one for Mom."

As soon as his son behaved like a spoiled boy, Jiang Jianjun would be fine.

"Just go and buy one."

But although he agreed, Jiang Jianjun couldn't help whispering, because he felt that his daughter-in-law certainly didn't like this kind of demon.

Jiang Shengnan was upset when she heard that her father had promised to buy lipstick for her, because then, she had a chance to use it secretly.

The three of them approached the lipstick counter, and Jiang Liu also approached to find that the lipstick in the lipstick counter actually had many luxury brands familiar to later generations.

However, this is not surprising. In fact, as early as the late 1970s and early 1980s, luxury brands have entered the Chinese market. One of the brands that popularized the entire Chinese market in the early days may not be well known. That's Pierre Cardin.

As early as 1979, Pierre Cardin was invited to hold a costume show in the capital.This performance was originally for the friendship between China and France, but it made a huge wave in China without thinking. The foreign models with arms and thighs on the show, walking to twist their hips, and fashionable styles, colorful The costumes of the capital made a huge wave in the hearts of the people watching the capital. At the time, with the large media and television reports at that time, Pierre Cardin, as a synonym for fashion and luxury in the hearts of the Chinese people, was the most popular in the following ten years. The popular brand of people in China, until the luxury brands that entered China more and more, this Pierre Cardin boom gradually receded.

At this time, Jiangliu saw lipstick brands such as fragrant grandma, carved brand... There are also many domestic lipstick brands, such as Yuxi, Avon and Qishi.

Jiangli didn't know whether Xiangjia and Diaojia started to set up counters in China. They just looked at the display of these luxury goods in shopping malls. It was more like buying goods from Xiangjiang instead of direct sales authorized by the brand.

But this does not affect the popularity of these lipsticks. Some rich girls and women love these fashionable foreign goods from Xiangjiang even if their prices are more than ten times more expensive than domestic lipsticks.

Jiang Jianjun seems that these things have the same effect. It is purely that the money is expensive to burn the money. He chose a relatively suitable national lipstick with a relatively reasonable price. Because he does not understand these, the color of the lipstick is still for his son. The daughter's staff advised.

"Brother bought lipstick for his daughter-in-law, eh, sister-in-law is really lucky to meet you as a man who hurts."

Jiang Jianjun felt that it was enough to buy a lipstick, but the salesperson pulled him and cheered on.

As one of the few men standing by the lipstick counter, or even the only man buying lipstick, Jiang Jianjun naturally received a lot of attention.

He has sharp ears and heard a lot of comments around him, basically praising him for his wife.

Although I don't think buying a child-eating lipstick is a pain to my wife, Jiang Jianjun's compliments still make Jiang Jianjun feel proud and proud. That's right, he is the man who loves his wife the most.

"Brother, you buy a bottle of face cream for our sister-in-law. The sister-in-law will love it."

"Yeah, the foundation of their family is also good, the face is very natural, no powder."

Everyone talked a lot, and when he left the counter, Jiang Jianjun carried several bags in his hand, and bought some popular products with dizziness.

After squeezing out the crowd and blowing cold wind, Jiang Jianjun was finally awake.

"Women are terrible."

He looked at the bag in his hand and sighed. Fortunately, his daughter-in-law didn't like these at all, and he didn't know if he bought these things and would be scolded.

Jiang Jianjun, who thought that he was dizzy and bought a bunch of useless things, seemed to be less spirited in the subsequent games. He thought about how to report to his wife after returning home, but the two children were very happy to play.

Jiang Shengnan feels that the big city is too good. In winter, he can also eat popsicles. Fashionable girls can be seen everywhere on the street. They walk one by one with their heads tall and brave. Mother-in-law is completely different.

"A big city is good, you study hard, and you can become a city dweller by then. A good life is yet to come."

Jiang Jianjun encouraged his children and hoped that they would be able to stimulate their fighting spirit and study hard, so there might be a few college students in the future.

*****

In the first two days, Jiang Jianjun took the children to play around in Zhushi, but he also had something to do after all, so on the third day, he bought canned cakes for lunch for the children and planned to leave them in the guest house , Go out and do something by yourself.

The guest house he chose was next to the Public Security Bureau. The public security was very good on weekdays. He told the two children to lock the door after he left and not to leave this room.

I bought a bunch of books in the bookstore before, and there are TVs in the guest house. The two children will not be bored for an afternoon.

Jiang Shengnan was better. Yesterday, she picked a bunch of books about pilots from the bookstore. It was when she was fascinated. The river was busy and wanted to follow. Jiang Jianjun couldn't but his son.

The purpose of Jiang Jianjun's trip was to investigate some well-functioning private factories in Zhushi, but he hadn't figured out the direction in which he would operate afterwards, so he was a little lost after taking the children out.

"That's an electronic watch factory. The watches that Dad sold before were all bought from here."

Jiang Jianjun is human beings, so the selected products are light weight, small size and high profit type. Watches are his best choice.

Earlier, Jiang Jianjun had resold TV sets and radios because they were too tight. Almost all of their shopping malls were divided by insiders, and even if they had tickets, they could not buy them.

Moreover, Hong Kong goods are considered to be synonymous with good quality by many people. Many people would rather spend more money and buy TV sets smuggled from Xiangjiang or Wandao. At that time, Jiang Jianjun found a way and made a lot of money. money.

But these years have not been able to. With the increasing contact between the inland and coastal developed cities, TV radios are still high-end products, but they are no longer rare goods, including the electronic watches he sold in recent years, and the degree of popularity Not as good as it was.

Jiang Jianjun realized that this business was almost done.

Speculation is not the right way. At a time when the profits of electronic watches are getting less and less, it seems that only by becoming a manufacturer of electronic watches, and reducing the cost of purchases and transportation, can profits go up.

But he is a master, and he knows nothing about electronic watch making, and the cost of investing in an electronic watch factory is probably far beyond his imagination.

According to Jiang Jianjun's ideas, he would like to run a business with low investment cost and low possibility of loss.

"Dad, the clothes here are so cheap."

Jiang Jianjun was thinking, and saw his son suddenly pointed to a garment factory not far away. There were a lot of models wearing clothes produced by their factory outside the factory. The prices were clearly marked, and many people carried large and small bags. go away.

These clothes are very fashionable according to the current aesthetics. However, because of the large quantity of goods, the purchase price is very cheap. For a dress of the same style and a price of twenty to thirty in the mall, the purchase price is about 12-15 yuan. For clothes of similar style, it is even more expensive to get inland.

Because most of these garment factories are joint ventures of Hong Kong companies, most of them use a foreign name. When these clothes are circulated inland, it is easy to create a high-end luxury feeling, so that unknown customers spend a lot of money. buy.

Along the way, Jiangliu saw many clothes brands that women in their small county towns were proud of. At them, these clothes are not cheap, and these "foreign brands" are not sold in any shopping malls. They often need to find a relationship. Purchasing.

"Of course, it is cheaper to buy clothes in Zhushi."

Jiang Jianjun said with or without thought, this is the largest ready-made clothing distribution center. Every year, the factory here sends people to Xiangjiang, Wandao and other places to investigate the most fashionable and beautiful ready-to-wear clothes. Many surrounding cities come to Zhushi for purchase. As long as the purchase volume is large, the price is low.

Many factories here are pursuing small profits but quick sales, not to mention that he sells cheaply, and the profit will be considerable after the quantity goes up.

Jiang Jianjun had also carried a few bags of clothes back to sell at the earliest. The woman's money was indeed profitable. Those bags of clothes were sold out within a few days. Unfortunately, he had limited strength alone, and the clothes were bulky things. It is not as high as the electronic watch. After a few times, Jiang Jianjun no longer enters the clothes, but just buys several clothes for his family every time.

However, this reminds Jiang Jianjun that he can open a garment factory. At the beginning, the stall does not need to be too large, just choose a piece of land as the factory site, buy a few machines, and then hire a few skilled workers, as long as it is clothing. No need to worry about selling, the possibility of losing money is very small.

Jiang Jianjun felt better the more he wanted, but even the garment factory was at risk of loss. Jiang Jianjun hesitated for a while.

"Dad, can we produce clothes for their family?"

Jiang Liu pointed to a garment factory called Angela not far away.

This is a private enterprise. It is said that it has a background of Hong Kong businessmen. In Zhushi, Angela may be an ordinary ready-to-wear brand, but in their hometown of Linshi, Angela is a well-known foreign goods brand. There are only rich people in the local area. Women can put on clothes of this brand.

"How is this possible."

After listening to his son, Jiang Jianjun couldn’t help but laugh. People were relying on brands to eat. If he produced clothes of the same brand from the other party, he was not found okay. Once caught, he would also go to jail.

"Can't we give some money to OEM?"

Jiang Liu pretended to be ignorant.

"OEM, what is OEM?"

Now Jiang Jianjun was puzzled.

"Just stick their brands, the same clothes, their clothes are very expensive to sell in our house, I thought if we can produce the same clothes, and then put on their brands to sell, we are not not giving money Anyway, this garment factory doesn’t mean that we are going to the city for the time being, which is equivalent to giving us money to sell their clothes of this brand in other regions. The business of giving money may be willing to do it."

The area where they live today is still dominated by clothes produced by state-owned garment factories. Department stores, supply and marketing cooperatives rarely list clothes brands produced by small private companies.

Jiang Liu thought that it would be very difficult to develop a clothing factory without any mass base, but first applying a locally popular "foreign" brand might have unexpected gains.

In the memory of the original body, the brand Angela has disappeared from the public's attention since it has been hot for a few years. It is conceivable that this brand must have failed in the future competition. Jiangliu did not intend to exist for a long time. Under the shadow of this brand, he just wanted to occupy a part of the market more easily. At that time, he was expanding his industrial line and expanding his brand influence. This may be smoother than a step-by-step operation.

"OEM, hahaha, OEM!"

Jiang Jianjun felt that the word was more subtle, and it seemed to open the door to a new world. The original business was still able to do so.

"Good boy, how did you come up with this idea."

Jiang Jianjun's excitement is broken. Does his son have the talent to do business in addition to being a detective?

"It's very simple. In Huitong Primary School, my river's name is a famous brand. My younger brother went out to report my name, and he can keep an account of less than a dollar in the shop."

Jiang Liu Niu said courageously, that proud little expression diluted some of the wisdom beyond his age that he had just left in Jiang Jianjun's mind, which was more in line with the special system of children of his age.

"Boss Jiang, you can bear it."

Jiang Jianjun rubbed his son's head fiercely, then crouched down and kissed his little head.

He felt that he had found the business direction after he found it.

******

In the next few days, Jiang Jianjun was in a haunt. The originally planned five-day trip was abruptly stretched to nine days. Fortunately, Jiang Jianjun also knew that his children were about to start school. He rushed back to the train with his children a few days before the primary school report.

This trip to Jiang Shengnan's biggest harvest is a box of books. In addition to some biographies about pilots, there are some extracurricular tutorial materials that they did not sell there. Jiang Shengnan also bought several basic textbooks in English and Russian. Learn these two languages ​​on your own home radio.

I heard that the number of pilots recruited every year is very small. In addition to the requirements for physical fitness, the requirements for cultural classes are also very high. In cities and towns where she lived since she was a child, she may be a very good student. The results may not be selected.

After seeing the world and growing up, Jiang Shengnan decided to manage herself with higher requirements. She must become a better person.

As for Jiangliu, he didn't buy a few books. His small box was filled with specialty snacks from Zhushi, partly for sisters and sisters, and partly for the younger brother.

As for Jiang Jianjun, he didn't buy anything on this trip. The only extra thing in the suitcase may be the pile of cosmetics.

"Good boy, I want to die grandma!"

The three had not yet entered the house, and the old lady heard the sound rushing out, holding the grandson's heart and soul, and said that he was thin.

Yao Huilan wanted to hug her son, but the daughter's daughter Jiang Shengnan lost her small expression and walked over to touch her little head.

In the evening, the family ate dinner and talked about what Zhu Shi saw and heard. After dark, he went back to each house to rest. Until the two were alone, Jiang Jianjun took out the pile of cosmetics.

"I think the women in Pearl City are so rare that I bought you a copy."

A big man was so embarrassed to buy this kind of thing, Jiang Jianjun put the cosmetics on the bed, pretending to have an indifferent expression.

He felt that his wife was not uncommon. These Jiang Jianjun's women were different from other women. Te Xianhui and the housekeeper didn't love such messy things.

"Ah! This is lipstick!"

Yao Huilan has never received a gift from her husband, including when they were in a relationship, when the two people who were still at the time had never played anything romantic.

Suddenly received a bunch of cosmetics, Yao Huilan couldn't recover, is this still her man?

"I'm old enough to do what I spend with this money. Where else can I use these things? Save the money to the children how good they are."

Yao Huilan muttered, but opened the lipstick lid eagerly, and traced it in the mirror.

Jiang Jianjun bought two lipsticks, one with a big red color, and one with a more everyday color, which is a soft bean paste color. At this time, Yao Huilan used the big red lipstick. The bright and bright colors lined the skin.

Yao Huilan blinked at herself in the mirror, feeling like she was back in her youth.

"so I--"

Jiang Jianjun was trying to say that he felt that it was not necessary to buy this thing. It was his son who wanted to buy it for her. He saw Yao Huilan turned around and smiled shyly at him under the dim light.

"Does it look good?"

She feels a little too glamorous. At this age, applying lipstick is a little unremarkable, but she still feels beautiful in her heart, hoping to get praise from her husband.

"looks great!"

Jiang Jianjun didn't know what to do. It was apparently painted on the mouth of other women like a terrible color of eating children. On the mouth of his daughter-in-law, she seemed extremely tempted.

This lipstick seems to be really a good thing. Jiang Jianjun swallowed, and his heart and body were hot.

"Dead face!"

Yao Huilan was a little bit shy by her husband's fierce eyes. He gave him a sneer and then prepared to remove the lipstick.

Jiang Jianjun felt that his wife's eyesight was more powerful than before, and hurried to the bedside to pull the lamp, and then hugged her daughter to Kang.

The river was in the next room, listening to the creaking of the old wooden bed for half a night.

Sure enough, lipstick is really a good thing!
