Chapter 66: A Trip to Yiwu

As soon as Mu Dong thought of this, he immediately secretly scolded himself for being a pig's head, Liu Fangfei was his own employee, and the specific work in the future was not arranged by himself. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info If you really want to open the Canton Fair, it's always okay to be seconded for a few days, right?

In the evening, after learning that Mu Dong had returned, Uncle Mu came to the primary school.

Uncle Mu San came to tell Mu Dong that the price of garlic has risen again, this time it has risen very much, the first-grade garlic has risen by one dollar per catty, and the second-grade garlic has risen by 6 cents per catty. At present, the price of primary buyers in the market has reached 3.3 yuan per catty for first-grade garlic and 2.1 yuan per catty for second-grade garlic. Compared with the purchase price of 1.9 and 1.3 yuan in the last batch of Mudong, the appreciation of garlic in cold storage is already very considerable.

Uncle Mu San came to ask if he could sell garlic, and a junior buyer asked and said that he could buy it back.

Yes, there is one more shipping channel.

Boss Mu's answer was, of course not!

In fact, Mu Dong doesn't know what price first-grade garlic and second-grade garlic can rise. The price of garlic in his memory is based on the price of hybrid garlic retailed in supermarkets as a sample.

Mu Dong remembered that the price of hybrid garlic in the supermarket at that time was about 11 yuan, and he made a deduction, the retail price minus the supermarket profit and taxes, the supermarket's purchase price should be 8 to 9 yuan, and then subtract the wholesale channel profit of one yuan per catty, and the bulk purchase price of hybrid garlic in the market should be 7 to 8 yuan per catty.

The first-grade garlic and second-grade garlic, even if it is one yuan higher per catty, when the price is the highest, the bulk purchase price on the market should be 8 yuan to 9 yuan per catty, or even higher.

Therefore, Boss Mu decided not to pursue the highest profit, but only to pursue higher profits, and after the price of secondary garlic reached more than 7 yuan, he could consider shipping.

The current price is still far from it.

When Mu Dong and the third uncle were chatting in the office, Xiao Xiao happened to come in and listened to a few words. At dinner, in front of Mu's father and mother, Xiao Xiao asked Mu Dong how much money he could make now that the price of garlic had risen.

Mu Dong roughly calculated it, and said lazily: "About 13 million." ”

With a "plop", Mu's father, who was eating, suddenly fell off the stool, startling Mu Dong.

And Mu Ma and Xiao Xiao grew their mouths, and their faces were incredible.

Xiao Xiao is better, she has long known that garlic rises every dime. Mu Dong can earn 1.6 million. She was surprised that it hadn't risen so much recently.

Mu Dad and Mu Ma are different, they don't even know how much money Mu Dong has invested. In their impression, their son is rich, and there are always millions, but tens of millions of dollars, they really never thought about it.

Mu Dad couldn't take care of his buttocks, got up with a bone, and asked urgently: "You stinky boy, what did you just say? 13 million?"

Mu blinked and didn't dare to speak, he was afraid of irritating his father again.

Mu Dad was anxious and said sharply: "You said it!"

Mu Dong said slowly: "Dad, don't worry, you can't run away with this money." ”

Dad Mu said with a white face: "I'm not afraid that the money will run away, I'm worried, where did you get so much money?"

Mu Dong was helpless, his father was worried that his money was coming from the wrong way.

He comforted his father and sat down, and began to give him a calculus of how much the sand had earned and how much the wicker had earned. After a long time, Mu's father finally understood that this baby son was already worth 20 million before he started the garlic business.

No wonder this kid is so picky about the newly built building, and so willing to spend money! Dad Mu finally understands that his son is completely different now!

He happily walked around the room a few times, then ran to his room, took out a pound of his own cellar wine, and insisted on drinking some with Mu Dong.

Seeing that his father was happy, Mu Dong was also happy, the two of them drank a few glasses, and in the end Mu Dad was a little drunk, Mu Ma finally took the wine bottle and took it back to the house to rest.

Mu's mother finally remembered that what her son said in Quancheng was worth 20 million, and it seemed that it was indeed the truth at that time, but she listened to it as nonsense.

After breakfast the next day, Mu's father said to his son: "Boy, this time when you go back to the house, I don't care how you toss, whatever you want!"

After saying that, he walked away with his head held high, and now he is a rich man's father, and Mu Dad is very proud. It's a pity that the pride only lasted for a short time, and when he arrived at the construction site, Mu Dad quickly changed into work clothes and devoted himself to construction.

Mu Dong watched his father walk away, and muttered in his heart, I want to toss, but I don't have any money in my hand!

Forget it, the 3.2 million that I just got in my hand, plus the small 600,000 in my hand, there is only 800,000 left in the blink of an eye, Mu Dong shook his head, the difficulty is temporary, let's be very strong.

was pondering here, Mu Dong received a call from Liu Jingyun, saying that Dadong's export qualification had been completed and asked him to pick it up.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Dong pondered, last time for the garlic matter, he went to the door to ask for County Magistrate Liu, but he went empty-handed, but County Magistrate Liu also entertained lunch, this time I went again, I can't continue to be empty-handed, but what should I send something?

The two of them are not familiar with each other, and Mu Dong will never dare to send money or shopping cards, and it will backfire if he can't get it. Mu Dong is not familiar with other cosmetics and jewelry, so what should I do? I have to get some unique gifts, preferably not of high value.

Mu Dong walked around the room and happened to see the small half bottle of cellar melon dry wine that he had drunk with Mu Dad last night. That's right, just send this, it's not valuable, but it's scarce and meaningful.

Well, you need to wrap it up. Mu drove to the town, found a store specializing in bulk sorghum wine, bought a small black jar that could hold a pound of wine from the other party, and then went home and poured melon dry wine, sealed it, and tied a piece of red silk on the mouth of the jar.

Mu Dong was just about to leave holding the jar, feeling that it was inconvenient to hold it, and planned to find a plastic bag to carry it. I was looking for it, and suddenly remembered that I still had a bunch of samples sent by willow weaving artists, and I went to the sample room to take a look, and sure enough, I found a round basket, and the small jar was just right to sit in, and it was tightly fitted.

Perfect, thought to himself.

Porcelain jars, willow baskets, a strong local atmosphere.

Mu Dong picked up the basket and drove to the county government. After getting out of the car, he blatantly carried the gift, went to Liu Jingyun's office, knocked on the door, and entered.

Seeing the basket in Mu Dong's hand, Liu Jingyun immediately liked it, it was so beautiful! The wood-colored willow basket, with the black porcelain altar and red silk, the three colors created a very simple beauty.

What's more, the willow weaving industry, which was vigorously promoted by County Magistrate Liu, Mu Dong is also right in her mind.

I was happy in my heart, but I said lightly: "What? Boss Mu, bribing me to come? Is it a bar? You are too picky, right, such a small jar of wine sent me away?"

Mu Dong hurriedly laughed and said: "County Magistrate Liu, what kind of bribery is this, this wine, it has a bit of origin, it has been aged for more than 20 years, and I will give it to you to taste." ”

Liu Jingyun was a little taken aback and asked, "It's been more than 20 years, what is the origin, tell me about it?"

Mu Dong sat down on the sofa and said affectionately: "It was a sunny day more than 20 years ago......

Liu Jingyun was annoyed, glared at her, and said, "Talk about people!"

Mu Dong said with a smile: "When I was born, my father's dried melon wine has been buried in the ground for more than 20 years, is it a bit of a history?"

Liu Jingyun was even more surprised, and asked, "Really? That's really a lot of history! Then thank you, Boss Mu, I accepted it, and it was not in vain that I ran errands for you." ”

As he spoke, he opened the drawer, took out a large envelope, and said, "Take it, this is the registration certificate of foreign trade operators, do it well in the future!"

Mu Dong stood up happily, took the envelope, and said, "Thank you, County Magistrate Liu, with this certificate, I will be able to export willow weaving in the future, right?"

Liu Jingyun was speechless for a while, and said, "Why don't you kid find someone who understands to inquire? I really don't know what you thought in your mind when you first registered the company?"

Mu Dong was stunned for a moment, it seems that this document is not all?

Liu Jingyun glanced at him and said: "For the export of willow goods, you also need FSC forest certification, commodity inspection, fumigation certificate and certificate of origin, and of course, customs declaration procedures. These are all carried out with the goods, and each order needs to be submitted, but the process is simple and the approval is fast. ”

Mu Dong began to scratch his head and said, "Is it so troublesome?"

Liu Jingyun shook his head for a while and said, "What's the trouble, operate it once, and it's easy to get acquainted with it." After speaking, he looked at his watch and continued: "It's almost noon, let's go, eat in the cafeteria." ”

Mu Dong was startled, and hurriedly said, "County Magistrate Liu, I have other things, so I'll leave first." ”

After saying that, he picked up the envelope and ran away.

I didn't eat enough last time, and this time Mu Dong didn't want to be tortured again.

Liu Jingyun smiled bitterly and said, "This kid is running quite fast." ”

Liu Jingyun wanted to take Mu Dong to the cafeteria to eat, which was actually a demonstration of sovereignty. Everyone is optimistic, the famous pacesetter entrepreneur in this city is my person, don't be blushing.

Mu Dong didn't understand this, he just didn't want to eat in a depressing atmosphere.

Mu Dong drove to find Old Man Su.

Old man Su was still fishing by the river, and Mu Dong offered to ask him to help find someone who knew how to export the process. Those customs declarations or something, Mu Dong listened to it a lot, and professional things should be handled by professional people.

Old man Su had nothing to do with this, so he only agreed to look for it.

If it really doesn't work, let's open recruitment, Mu Dong thought helplessly.

Subsequently, Mu Dong went to his aunt Mu Hong's restaurant, had a comfortable lunch, and then went home.

After arriving home, Mu Dong and Xiao Xiao discussed for a while and planned to go to Yiwu. Today's events, let him feel that since he has decided to enter the willow industry, he must be familiar with the various situations of this industry as soon as possible. And the Canton Fair in October will have to wait for a long time. The Yiwu small commodity market is now the best choice to be familiar with willow products and understand the market conditions.

Xiao Xiao supported Mu Dong's decision and let him rest assured that he would go out to investigate.

Mu Dong thought for a while and decided to bring Xie Donglin, firstly, to be a companion, and secondly, to observe whether Xie Donglin was interested in the willow weaving industry.

There is no direct train from Lunan to Yiwu, only buses, no way, only to take the bus.

Early in the morning of August 24, Mu Dong and Xie Donglin drove to Lunan long-distance bus station together, found a parking lot to store their cars, and the two of them got on a sleeper bus bound for Yiwu together.

It was the height of summer, and although the air conditioner was turned on, the smell in the sleeper car still made Mu Dong frown. The smell of sweat, foot odor and the faint smell of diesel made Mu Dong very depressed. He looked around the inside of the carriage, the car was still very new, it was clean, and the passengers were all decent and neat, where did all these smells come from?

Xie Donglin was very excited, the first time he went out, and it was also the first time he took a sleeper car, he was very curious about the experience of sleeping in the car, and kept asking Mu Dong questions, Mu Dong, who was already depressed, felt that he was very noisy, and regretted taking this curious baby out.

After enduring nearly 20 hours, the two arrived at Yiwu bus station at dawn on August 25. Mu Dong got out of the car, breathed in the fresh air, and said in his heart that when he went back, he would not take the car anymore. Even if you reverse the train a few more times, you have to take the train back.

It was still early, the two of them took a taxi to the opposite side of the International Trade City, found a hotel to stay, found a place to have breakfast, and then went back to the hotel to sleep.

For Xie Donglin, everything is new. He couldn't sleep at all, standing in front of the window of the hotel, overlooking the lively scene of traffic on the road downstairs, Xie Donglin felt in a trance, the city was so lively!

Mu Dong originally opened a double standard room, but he was annoyed by Xie Donglin's toss, so he went directly to the front desk and opened another room, letting Xie Donglin go to another room by himself.

At 9 o'clock, Mu Dong got up, took Xie Donglin with him, and walked to Yiwu International Trade City across the road.

Since ancient times, Yiwu has more merchants, and the local people use the spirit of "chicken feathers for sugar" to travel around to make a living. After the reform and opening up, large and small commodity markets quickly emerged in the local area, and quickly did the business to the whole country, realizing the marketing model of "buying the whole country and selling the whole country".

Later, with the development of business and the improvement of popularity, merchants from all over the world came to Yiwu to purchase small commodities, and it truly became a world-class sea of small commodities.

Xie Donglin was stupid, his eyes were completely insufficient, not because of the dazzling array of goods, but because of the foreigners everywhere!

There were too many, and there were whites, blacks, South Asians, and Arabs in white robes and turbans, and he kept saying to Mu Dong: "Big brother, look at you, black people are very dark...... Big brother, look, that foreign woman is so beautiful......"

Mu Dong was also secretly surprised, before he came, he thought that the merchants in Yiwu were taking the initiative to sell their goods to the world and needed to go out.

After I came, I found that as long as I was sitting in the store, so many merchants came to the door, which was so unexpected!

Foreigners with interpreters can be seen everywhere talking about business with Chinese-speaking shopkeepers; foreign merchants can be seen everywhere selecting samples of goods, writing down some orders casually, and then the shopkeepers immediately contact the warehouse to stock up the goods; and even Mu Dong found that the shopkeepers of some shops are directly foreigners!

This market is so active!

This is a real treasure!

Mu Dong secretly decided that if there was a suitable store, he would rent a shop and use it as a window to let his wicker products go to the world here.

After stabilizing his mind, Mu Dong began to shop around the market in a targeted manner.

Wicker products do not have a centralized display area in this market, and most of them are scattered in other stores.

For example, willow vases are placed together with vases of other materials in many shops specializing in vases. For example, the storage basket of willow weaving is placed together with other display baskets of non-woven fabrics and oxford fabrics.

Mu Dong chatted with several shopkeepers, saying that he was a willow weaver in Lunan, and the other party was very enthusiastic.

I see, Mu Dong understood. Merchants in Yiwu select samples at the Canton Fair, place orders, and then sell inventory to foreign customers.

The willow weaving manufacturers in Lunan not only cooperate directly with foreign businessmen at the Canton Fair, but also cooperate with merchants in Yiwu.

Moreover, after in-depth conversations, Mu Dong also understood that most of the foreign merchants at the Canton Fair are large orders and will reserve sufficient processing cycles. Foreign businessmen who take goods in Yiwu are generally small orders, requiring spot or processing cycles that are very short.

Therefore, even if there is the Canton Fair, Yiwu merchants selling willow products are still very comfortable.

Mu Dong thought to himself, how could he have such a thorough understanding of the market if he read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, always nesting at home, counting on the little information he searched on the Internet.

He secretly decided that he hadn't been busy lately, so he would stay here for a few more days, take a good look at the market, and learn more information.

In the next two days, Mu Dong took Xie Donglin to visit and observe everywhere, he saw a lot of willow products that he had not seen before and did not have in his sample room, he went to buy a card digital camera, quietly took a photo, and planned to take it back to ponder.

In addition, starting the next day, he asked Xie Donglin to try to chat with some shopkeepers.

Xie Donglin had already walked out of his surprise. I see foreigners who meet every day and slap my face, and I see a lot of them, so it's not new. Mu Dong asked him to talk to the shopkeeper, but he was not stage frightened at all, he introduced himself in the way of Mu Dong, explained his intentions, and slowly talked with the shopkeeper.

Mu Dong was very satisfied with Xie Donglin's state, but Xie Donglin's Mandarin spoke in a southern and northern tone, which really made Mu Dong's ears unhappy.

For a day, Mu Dong kept guiding Xie Donglin, what to say and what not to say, how to communicate quickly with customers, quickly familiarize himself, and how to speak Mandarin a little more fluently.

By the third day, Xie Donglin was already able to communicate smoothly with strange customers decently, although the confidence was still insufficient, but he could barely deal with some small problems.

In the evening of that day, after the two had dinner, Mu Dong found a store that handled train tickets, planning to buy a ticket back to the city, and he planned to take a train back to Lunan from SH on a detour.
