Chapter 55: I've Contracted This Mall!
Since he had decided to return to China with a batch of fur coats on the plane, Jia Lei took a group of people to the largest leather wholesale market in Kazan that day.
The market has four floors and mainly sells leather goods produced in Kazan. In terms of the variety of goods, fur products are the majority, and in terms of price, the price of each fur garment ranges from a few thousand rubles to tens of thousands of rubles, which can basically meet the clothing needs of people from all walks of life in Russia.
"Listen, there are two main types of goods we buy this time, one is the high-quality and inexpensive, ordinary people can afford to consume the goods, and the other is the very good quality, especially rare and expensive luxury leather goods. In particular, mink coats, fox fur scarves, and the like are as many as you want. After Jia Lei finished speaking, he gave everyone a pack of rubles and asked everyone to buy goods separately.
"I have been running on the line from Beijing to Moscow for half a year, and I know Russian leather goods very well, Jia Lei, you can come with me. I promise to help you pick out the best clothes!" said Xia Fatzi.
"Then what are you waiting for, lead the way ahead!" Jia Lei said, so Jia Lei followed him to the fur area on the second floor.
As soon as they reached the second floor, Jia Lei saw fur coats randomly placed in shops and stalls. These fur coats have a shiny and elastic fur, and they are all carefully sewn from whole pieces of leather, and the quality is particularly good except for the somewhat monotonous style.
Of course, what makes Jia Lei even happier is the price of these fur coats, most of these fur coats are sold for only a few thousand rubles, and even the most expensive ones are only tens of thousands of rubles.
"Oh my God! The cheapest of these clothes is only a hundred dollars, and even if they are expensive, they are not more than a thousand dollars? The clothes here are too cheap! I really don't know why Russian fur coats are cheap?" Jia Lei asked in surprise as he looked at the price after the merchant deliberately marked it with US dollars.
"Due to the long winter and cold weather, the average E-Ross people will wear four or five fur products to keep warm, which is a tradition that has been handed down by our country for hundreds of years, and in the former Soviet Union, our country would provide special loans and subsidies to fur breeding enterprises. That's why fur products in our country are so cheap!" Kerr explained to Jia Lei.
"But your country is now living on loans, I'm afraid it won't be time to give loans and subsidies to these fur companies in the future, right?" Jia Lei said as he walked into a store.
"A few guests from China, can you buy a fur hat? It's cheap! It's good-looking!" The bored salesman saw Jia Lei and his group's eyes immediately lit up, and then he asked in the corresponding Chinese.
All Russians know that the men and women from China like to buy Russian fur coats the most, and summer is the off-season for fur coat sales, and they are worried about whether the goods can be sold, Jia Lei and they came.
Now that privatization has begun, they will not be able to pay their wages if they can't sell their things, and now all the shopping malls are self-financed, and they won't have money to pay their wages if they can't sell them.
"This beautiful lady is so beautiful, her skin is so white that she is suitable to wear a white fox scarf. As the salesman spoke, he immediately set his eyes on Hong Xia, the only lady present.
Then she couldn't help but pick up a white fox scarf and put it on Hong Xia, Hong Xia refused at first, but it was useless, and finally she could only take the scarf off and put it in her hand, looking at Jia Lei and not knowing what to do.
"Do you think you like it? Do you want to buy it?" asked Jia Lei.
"Although this scarf looks beautiful and feels comfortable to the touch, it is so hot to wear! Hong Xia shook her head and said.
"I'm asking you if you like this style, I know southerners don't buy this kind of thing, and you're here to help us choose the right model for us. I didn't let you really buy it!" Jia Lei said businessmanly.
"I see, I thought you wanted to buy it and give it to me as a gift?" Hong Xia said speechlessly.
Although Hong Xia feels that this thing is quite hot now, she likes the plush feel of these clothes very much. Hong Xia reluctantly took the scarf and touched it again and again, and in the end, it was Xia Fatzi who was clever and immediately knew what she meant.
"Although you don't need this thing in the south, aren't we doing business in Russia now? At least six months of the year belong to winter, and you can't survive winter without two furs on your body and in your hands. Fur is cheaper at this time of summer, so you should take the opportunity to buy two pieces to wear in winter!" said the fat man Xia as he handed Hong Xia a step.
"What you said makes sense, I should indeed take advantage of the cheap price of fur to buy two more clothes!" Hong Xia nodded immediately when she heard this.
"Then you can quickly ask the waiter to help me take this dress off and try it on, by the way, I will also ...... this, this, and that hat" As soon as Hong Xia found an excuse for herself to spend money, she immediately began to go on a shopping spree.
"Doesn't she feel hot when she wears fur in the summer?" Jia Lei asked speechlessly.
Hong Xia was trying on different fur coats in the store, and she even had to buy more clothes and hats.
"I don't want her to buy it either, it's not too cold in our Pearl City in winter, and you won't need it at all when you buy it! But I don't dare to say it!" Hong Chen also said worriedly.
"Well, I think Sister Hong Xia is very good like this, I was afraid that she would feel awkward when she was a model. Now it seems that my worries are superfluous!" Jia Lei said as he looked at the model show in front of him.
"For women, shopping is a pleasure, not a job! you two don't know women too well, do you?" said Xia Fatzi.
"Since you know women so well, why don't you have a girlfriend now? I think you're just talking!" Jia Lei retorted mercilessly.
"Even if I'm paying lip service, it's better than you guys who don't understand anything, right?" said Xia Fatzi with a blank look at Jia Lei.
"Hmm...... I think I'm still young, and it doesn't matter if I understand it or not. Jia Lei touched his nose and said weakly.
"I won't tell you, let's get down to business!Waiter, you take out all the inventory of the clothes that this lady tried just now, and I'll cover them all!" Jia Lei stood up and shouted.
At this moment, Jia Lei's domineering president is enough!
"Oh my God, I heard you right, did you just say you were going to buy all our stock of clothes?" asked the salesman in surprise.
"Yes, you heard me right! I did say that I was going to stock up all the clothes in stock. And that's not all, I'll wrap up everything I like in your store, so you'd better call your manager and talk to me about it. After all, this is a big business, so you have to get a little discount, right?" Jia Lei said with a lot of money.
"Store manager, I think these people must be from Huaxia, I heard that people like them are very generous when they buy things. Another salesperson hurriedly reminded the store manager.
"Oh! You're right, it must be like this! I'll go to the manager right away, you must treat them well? Don't let the people in the other stores rob them, our salary and bonuses this month will fall on them. The store manager immediately nodded and said.
"Okay, I got it!" said the salesman with a quick nod.
*****
"Do you have any other requirements?" the salesman asked Jia Lei attentively.
"You can bring all the best and most expensive furs from you, I'll pick them well!" Jia Lei thought for a while and said.
"Okay, I'll go right away!" said the salesperson.
Then she took out the finest mink coats from Siberia, the precious silver fox and blue fox scarves, and the fur hats of various shapes and exquisite elegance.
These more expensive goods are carefully stored in the storage room with suitable storage conditions in the summer, and there are only one or two samples on the counter.
"These things are so beautiful! I guess every woman wants to have one, right? Especially when we women in the Northeast can't walk when they see mink coats, they will definitely buy them without hesitation as long as they see them!" Jia Lei touched a pure black mink coat under his hand, and said with great satisfaction.
"Our fur comes from animals that are carefully raised on state-owned farms, and the quality of the fur is the finest! The feed and medicine that these animals eat are carefully proportioned to ensure that they are healthy and do not suffer from any diseases. The quality of the fur is good when the body is healthy!" said the manager of the mall.
"I've seen all the fur goods on these floors of your mall, and the variety of goods is very complete and the quality is also very good, and I want to talk to you about a big deal. I'm going to buy all the fur clothes in this mall, do you see any discounts?" Jia Lei said.
"Are you going to buy all the fur clothes in our store, which is a lot of money?" asked the manager, incredulous.
"Of course I do, I brought enough dollars with me. Do you think the money is enough?" Jia Lei clapped his hands and said.
Several bodyguards immediately opened the lid of the cash box they were carrying, only to see boxes of green and faint dollars developing into an attractive light hall in the box.
"Not to mention the money to buy all the clothes we have here, you just want to use him to buy the whole mall!" the manager nodded.
"We're in a hurry, we're probably leaving tomorrow! Jia Lei said.
"Okay, I'll have someone get the bag and help you pack your clothes. The manager nodded.
"Don't bag it, you beat all these clothes into a big bag for me. I'm going to ship these clothes back to China, and the bags take up too much space and are not easy to carry. Jia Lei said.
"Jia Lei, you wait first, I don't think you can buy all these clothes. Hong Xia suddenly came over anxiously and said.
"Why can't I buy them all? These clothes are very cheap, and I will definitely make money when I go back." Jia Lei asked with a frown.
"Just now, Fat Xia translated everything you said to the manager, I think although these clothes look good, you can't buy them all. Because the models of these clothes are designed according to the people of country E, some styles cannot be worn by people in our country at all. Didn't you notice that all I tried were small and short clothes?" Hong Xia said anxiously.
Jia Lei heard Hong Xia say this, and after a closer look, he found that things were really what Hong Xia said.
These fur products are made according to the figure of the Russians, both men and women, who are tall and tall, and many of the furs are very decent to wear on them, but they will be mopped as soon as they are worn on the Chinese people.
It seems that this batch of clothes can only be sold in the north, and we have to find a place with a relatively high average height to sell. It's best to be in Hei Province and Ji Province!" Jia Lei frowned and thought about it before saying.
"Can these clothes really be sold when they are brought back to China? After all, people with a height of about 1.8 meters are not much in the crowd?" Hong Chen asked a little worriedly.
"Although there are not many people who are more than 1.8 meters tall, don't forget how large the population base of our country is! Even if there is only one person over 1.8 meters for every 100 people, our clothes will not be sold. Jia Lei said.
"That's it! Some of our tall people in the north are just a few hundred pieces of clothing, and Jia Lei will definitely be able to sell them. Xia Fatzi nodded and said.
"Since that's the case, I'm relieved!" Hong Chen nodded and said.
Jia Lei and they were busy for two days, and then they loaded all these clothes and those instruments on the plane, Jia Lei looked at the plane full of goods, and smiled happily.
"Buddies, we're going home soon!Are you all ready?" Jia Lei asked excitedly after fastening his seat belt.
"We're ready!" Dasha replied loudly.
This was Dasha's first time on a plane, and Dasha was so happy now.
"Jia Lei, isn't this plane of yours used to pull goods?, is it really reliable for us to take this back?" Xia Fatzi grabbed the seat belt of the plane tightly and asked tremblingly.
In fact, in addition to the latest Boeing 737 aircraft, my Il-76 aircraft is much more advanced than the passenger planes of most domestic airlines!" Jia Lei said proudly as he looked at his feet.
"But why don't I think it's so reliable? At least I haven't heard that other planes have to be divided into two layers?" asked Xia Fatzi, looking at the warehouse full of goods under his feet.
"I also think this temporary seat is a bit unreliable?" Hong Chen also said with a frown.
"Why is it unreliable! When this plane was designed, a special seat was designed on the upper floor of the plane for the loading and unloading personnel and crew maintenance personnel of the aircraft! Now we just add a few more seats on this floor, and this plane can pull more than 150 people at most. There are only a few of us, absolutely no problem?" Jia Lei said confidently.
Because Jia Lei said that he wanted to buy a civil transport aircraft, the Ukrainian side also specially presented Jia Lei with two groups of six manned modules, those container-sized boxes can become cabins as long as they are fixed in the plane, and all the facilities in them are available, including toilets.
However, Jia Lei mainly focused on pulling goods this time, so he took Hong Chen and them to the maintenance warehouse where the maintenance personnel stayed, although this place is small, but everyone can still sit down after squeezing.
"......Boom" Jia Lei took off amid the roar of the huge turbine engine of the Il-76.
