Song Youde is willing to sell goods to Boss Chang!
This promising young boss is generous and quick with his payments. He even taught them to increase prices. We're not sure if he's making a profit or how he's doing it, but he certainly made a lot last year.
For instance, this little pillow—he ordered some last year at a price of 999.
999!
Song Youde couldn't imagine this price in his lifetime of eating plain rice! The pillow isn't gilded, so why is it priced at 999?
But Boss Chang searched on his phone and showed him a slew of four-digit, high-selling pillows: "You might not get this. In the village, it's pitch black by eight or nine, everyone's basically asleep, and the heavy cotton quilts make falling asleep easy."
"It's different in the city."
"At night, there's colorful neon lights. If the curtains don't block out the light, it's hard to sleep. The apartment buildings aren't well soundproofed—a clock upstairs can shake two floors below."
