Chapter 141: Supply
Buying a shirt is just the beginning.
I went shopping and bought as I went, and then I went to buy pants and leather shoes.
It is said that people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and after changing into a new outfit, people are immediately very different.
Dressed as a Hong Kong guest, not only did the rustic atmosphere of a group of rough old men in the capital disappear immediately, but they all became amateur overseas Chinese.
The slim shirt with red and white florals on a black background, and the skinny legs and denim bell bottoms with tight buttocks highlight the feminine softness and tall figure of "Thorn Mei".
Almost instantly, she, an authentic Beijing girl, was transformed into a striking and fashionable modern girl.
Not to mention that these buddies in Beijing whistled and commented one by one, saying that she looked like a movie star, and she was almost unrecognizable.
The street continues to attract the attention of strange men, and the return rate must be more than 90 percent.
The most exaggerated is a pot-bellied Hong Kong man in his fifties and leather shoes.
Even if he still has a young girl by his side, he can't bear it.
This old thing was very interested in "Thorn Plum", and involuntarily stopped next to it, staring at it for a long time, almost unrelenting.
Of course, his female companion was not happy and was very troubled by this.
But no matter how he urged him to go, he didn't listen.
In the end, it was "Dabao" who helped her. Yao Yao pointed to the old man's nose and scolded.
"Silly X, look at your grandma! Look at it again, gouge out your eyes!"
At this moment, the frightened old man's face changed, and he quickly slipped away as if he had seen a ghost.
Naturally, it also made these stinky boys "quack" and have a bad time.
Hooligans, there's no way, the quality of this thing needs to be improved.
In short, just go all the way and see all the way.
Element Lane, Yuanshi Lane, Yuanboli, Subo Lane, Gaodixin, Xudikou, Red Light Lane......
But any place where people can stand is a stall, and when you go through them one by one, the time will be one o'clock in the afternoon.
Maybe it's because the spirit is too high, or maybe it's because the breakfast is too full, and no one feels hungry.
So even though it was rice, everyone just went to the roadside stall and drank a bowl of sweet potato syrup and peanut sweet soup to quench their thirst.
After that, he made persistent efforts and ran to the "Thirteen Lines" not far away.
Until four o'clock in the afternoon, after visiting these two downtown areas, the task of inspecting the market today was completely completed.
They walked with sore feet and squeezed a stinky sweat, so they went to the most famous "Big Three Yuan" in the "Long Causeway" to eat.
But I really have to say that since these boys were selected by Hong Yanwu, their brains are definitely good enough.
It was only a day and a half to the flower city, and I only visited the market for a day, but at this time, I was already familiar with the numbers in Cantonese.
Not only can they understand, but each of them can say ......it with one mouth, and they can say it in a similar way.
What's even more remarkable is that the stalls visited along the way, they all silently memorized the types, quantities and prices of the goods traded by the boss and customers.
During the meal, Hong Yanwu took out a small book to count the market prices while eating, and each of them came to report one by one, and there was basically no omission, which ordinary people can't do.
In addition to this, the most important achievement today is that everyone has really figured out the source of goods of "Gaodi Street" and "Thirteen Lines".
Before he came, Hong Yanwu originally thought that the clothing in the Guangzhou wholesale market, in addition to the smuggled "parallel goods" and a small number of Hong Kong goods purchased by special personnel from the gate of the Overseas Chinese Building and the Seamen's Club, had to point to the clothing produced by local township enterprises around the city to imitate Hong Kong clothing styles.
According to what he thought, the markets of "Gaodi Street" and "Thirteen Lines" are at most "second batches" and "third batches", and as intermediate links, this profit is in ambush.
And since he has sufficient capital in his hands, and the township and town enterprises have much stronger autonomy than the state-owned enterprises, why should he let people cut them with a knife? It is better to directly go to the manufacturers to buy goods.
But unexpectedly, the reality is completely different from what he imagined, and there is a considerable difference.
As a matter of fact, when they visited today, they found that 90 percent of the Hong Kong goods in the market were not smuggled imported goods, but normal trading goods that had blatantly flowed into the mainland through Shenzhen's Zhongying Street.
On the other hand, since smuggling is done on the high seas by fishing vessels at great risk, a limited number of positions will of course only be filled with the smallest and most profitable things.
Therefore, the real smuggling channels on the mainland side will not have ready-to-wear clothes at all, and almost all of them are large quantities of nylon cloth, cigarettes, watches, electronic watches, calculators, household appliances, and so on.
Then continue to think about it, no matter how much autonomy the township enterprises have, after all, it is a collective system, and there is a system to manage it.
No matter what, I don't dare to use smuggled fabrics as raw materials.
However, in the current economic environment of our country, the majority of the cost of clothing is raw materials rather than labor.
In this way, the price of clothing produced by township enterprises is not advantageous in the market.
And those who really dare to use these cheap raw materials are precisely self-employed private traders.
As a result, the price of clothing produced in family workshops is naturally much cheaper than that of state-run and collective products.
In fact, as long as you have been to "Gaodi Street" or "Thirteen Lines", you will find that almost all the shops along the street are in the mode of front shops and back factories.
The front is noisy and shouting to do business, and the back is directly beating and sewing.
Fabrics, velvet, ready-to-wear, how much you want to make.
It is precisely for this reason that there will always be a steady stream of cheap clothes with a wide variety of patterns in the clothing wholesale market in Huacheng.
No matter where the self-employed people come to buy, there is no need to look far at all.
Of course, the weak link of these garments is definitely in the quality of the product, and there is no doubt about this.
But cost-effectiveness is one thing, and there are no absolutes in the world.
If you really want to be more serious, there is really a strange phenomenon in the Huacheng market that seems to violate the laws of the economy.
That is, once the high-quality products of many large state-owned factories are wholesaled by individuals, they are indeed much lower than the official prices.
Taking the automatic folding umbrella that is currently in vogue as an example, the wholesale price of the goods produced by the state-owned manufacturers is 8 yuan and 9 cents, and the retail price in the state-run stores is 10 yuan and 5 cents.
In the hands of individual vendors, the wholesale price of folding umbrellas in Hong Kong is six yuan and nine cents, but the state-owned folding umbrella is only five yuan and eight cents.
And the most important thing is that don't look at the domestic umbrella sold so cheaply, but it is by no means a fake and shoddy product.
Regardless of the quality specifications, color patterns and the manufacturer's color uniformity, the same model.
What's going on here?
To be honest, it is very difficult for the locals to figure out this matter, that is, Hong Yanwu, a kid, can really figure it out.
Coincidentally, when they visited the umbrella shop in the "Thirteen Lines" today, a self-employed person in Fuzhou approved a batch of umbrellas, and in order to go through the consignment procedures, this kid also asked for an invoice from the stall.
This time, Hong Yanwu just witnessed it with his own eyes, and as a result, he saw the clue from the invoice.
The invoice is a foreign trade invoice, and the price is calculated in foreign exchange.
Who is Hong Yanwu? He has been playing in the capital.
At that time, this brain flashed, and I knew that this was a big deal.
Then I tried my best to inquire, and sure enough, it was good with what he thought, and the reason behind it came down to foreign exchange.
You must know that in order to compete for the market, no matter which country, the domestic products sold in the international market are very cheap.
The same is true in China, for foreign exchange-earning products exclusively for export, the state will often give tariff exemption or tax rebate treatment.
For example, Huhai brand watches are only sold for 60 yuan abroad, and they will be bought for 12 in China, which is the reason.
The same goes for automatic umbrellas, which are of course much cheaper to buy with foreign exchange or foreign exchange coupons.
After a long time, some people see the loopholes in foreign exchange hedging, so in order to earn a huge price difference, they will often toss through the documents of the shipping business agency bank, and transport the products that should have been exported abroad back to the local market for sale.
As a result, the renminbi - foreign exchange or exchange vouchers - export commodities - renminbi, so circulating, there is this kind of situation that most people think is extremely strange and incredible.
To put it bluntly, the essence of this kind of thing is actually similar to Hong Yanwu's use of foreign exchange coupons to buy and sell at the Friendship Store in the capital.
It's just that the difference is that he does small luxury goods, and the people here play with large daily necessities.
There is another thing, he is almost a monopoly and sells at a high price.
And here many people are doing this, there is fierce competition with each other in terms of price, and the profit can only come from the volume.
Needless to say, once he understood the inside story, Hong Yanwu was originally smart and wanted to buy directly from the manufacturer, so he had to make some adjustments.
After pondering it, he felt that the top priority at the moment was not to buy goods, but to find a way to find a suitable house first.
First, in the future, it can be easily stored in the house from various markets, and it can be used as a warehouse.
Second, you can also divide the six boys into two groups and take turns to stay here.
Since then, it has not only saved the cost of staying in a hotel, but also in the future, it will be convenient to make customized clothing in batches in the market, and to copy the tail goods of the bottom market.
So, he gave everyone the task of renting a house tomorrow, and the best location was between "Gaodi Street" and "Thirteen Lines".
The standard is that the more generous the better, the faster the better, the room does not return to moisture, and money is not a problem.
Only if the house is solved, the rest of the things can be done, otherwise there is no place to put the goods bought, and the hotel will not turn the guest room into a warehouse.
As for the varieties purchased, Hong Yan means that the capital of "Thorn Mei" is limited, so she simply uses all her money for small items such as hair cards, headwear, jewelry, and folding umbrellas.
In the future, you might as well specialize in this, not to mention the convenience of bringing goods, the risk is small, and the gross profit margin is high.
And he himself plans to eat clothing and leather shoes in large quantities, and then pack a wagon and transport them away.
In this way, not only can the purchase cost be minimized, but they can also maintain monopoly profits with each other, and no one rushes the other.
Even if "Thorn Mei" wants to sell clothes, when she returns to the capital, he can still transfer it to her, which is more suitable than her buying and bringing goods by herself.
Regarding Hong Yanwu's suggestion, "Thorn Mei" is really happy.
To be honest, there are too many clothing styles in the Huacheng market, and there are too many strange shapes, so you may not be at a loss.
If she really wants to buy the goods, she is stunned.
But small things are different, and most people will like them when they look at things here.
What's more, the east is not bright and the west is bright, and if you enter ten models, how can you sell several models.
Therefore, Hong Yanwu not only thought about her thoughtfully, but this is indeed a suitable thing for both of them.
Thinking of this, "Thorn Plum" quickly raised her glass and responded happily.
"Don't say anything, it's all up to you, we'll start tomorrow. I am here to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and I wish you all success tomorrow and make a fortune together. ”
Of course, the others raised their glasses in response, and Hong Yanwu's group of subordinates were almost all impassioned.
"Dabao" said, "With Hong Ye in charge, there is nothing that we can't do when we all work together." Sister, when you go back to Beijing, just wait to count the votes. Absolutely. ”
"Liben'er" also agreed, "Yes, I also see it, the goods here are really good." How cheap the clothes are, and the thieves look beautiful, no one in the capital has ever seen them. I'm sure we'll get it back, and we'll have to go to the next level. ”
"That is, there is no one who doesn't like to be scolded, no matter how much of a woman or a man, it's the same, it's been suppressed for so many years, it's easy to have a small opportunity, no matter how tight the life is, it has to be stinky and beautiful......"
The big guys chattered and talked about the excitement, and they all stood up and clinked glasses together.
It's a pity that I'm a little happy and sad.
Because he was too excited, the nine glasses collided like this, and actually broke two cups.
Just listened to the "click", and two cups of "Baiyun Beer" and broken glass stubble were spilled on the whole "Taiye Chicken" in the banquet.
The two boys who broke the cup hurriedly threw the guy in their hands, and everyone looked stunned.
Fortunately, no one was hurt.
Hong Yanwu was the most calm, just looked at it, and then said nonchalantly, "Good sign, good luck."
Then he beckoned the waiter to change a chicken and two cups.
And at this moment, the big guys also reacted, and they all thought it was funny, and they couldn't stop laughing.
The second group has been opened, group number: 608640021
