On Wednesday afternoon, there is only one class called "Introduction to Industrial Engineering", which is a literacy course taught by professors in the department to new students, which is also one of the few courses that are very professionally linked in the first semester of the freshman year.

After class was out before 3 o'clock, Jiang Hui wanted to go to the sales of denim skirts and jeans that he talked to his father about yesterday, and he wanted to go to the zoo clothing wholesale market for a field trip.

BJ Zoo Wholesale Market is said to be the largest clothing wholesale distribution center in the northern region, whether it is really the largest Jianghui in the north is not very clear, but in the entire BJ area, when it comes to clothing wholesale market, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is it.

This wholesale market does not refer to a single place, but is a collective name for several wholesale markets such as Jinkailide, Dongding, Tian and Hakuba near the zoo.

Jiang Hui came to the bus stop next to the main entrance of the school, waited a few minutes and got on the bus to the zoo.

As the capital of the imperial capital, the public transportation system is still relatively developed, not to mention the dense subway lines in the future, that is, the bus lines of the city, except for the few megacities of Shanghai and Wuyang and Shenzhen, other cities are completely incomparable with it.

Most of the buses in this year are not air-conditioned cars, the fare is only 1 yuan, if you have a monthly pass or a bus card, it will be cheaper, the most preferential is the student ID card to do a card, take the bus for only two cents.

That's right, you read that right, it's just two cents, and it's unbelievably cheap.

After almost 20 minutes, the zoo station arrived. Zoo Station is a big station, there is just a place to handle a bus card nearby, although the student ID has not been obtained, but the ordinary card is only four cents, the most important thing is that it is really more convenient to swipe the card to take the bus, and you don't need to prepare change every time.

After getting the card, Jiang Hui chose the nearest Jinkai Lide wholesale market, and followed the flow of people to go around the market first.

The whole market is a secret hemp at a glance, the large shop area is dozens of hundreds of square meters, and most of the small ones are only about ten square meters. All kinds of skirts, pants, coats, etc. look dazzling.

Jianghu spent more than half an hour roughly turning, there are at least 1,000 shops in the entire market, including two or three hundred that sell denim clothing, but most of them are not only selling denim clothing, people also do other business.

Considering that he mainly sells denim shorts and denim skirts to merchants, Jiang Hui felt that it would be better to find a small shop that specializes in the wholesale and sale of jeans to promote it more targeted.

After having a certain goal, Jiang Hui began to ask the price of denim shorts and denim skirts one by one, how much the retail price is, and what the price is if it is wholesale.

Few owners of small shops take their goods directly from the factory, and Internet shopping is not as developed now as it was a decade later. In the next few years, after those small workshops in the south began to sell wholesale online, many physical stores did not look for wholesalers to get the goods, and directly found those small workshops online to place orders.

After about another hour or so, Jiang Hui had a preliminary understanding of the market situation of denim shorts and denim skirts.

There are at least 30 small shops specializing in denim in the entire Kinchalide wholesale market, and of course, people sell other denim clothing such as trousers in addition to denim shorts and skirts.

Since it is a wholesale and retail market, the clothes are not very expensive. The general price of denim shorts is thirty or forty yuan, of course, there are also sold for nineteen yuan and seventy or eighty yuan, and the price of denim skirts is not much different from denim shorts.

If you buy more than ten pieces at a time, you can generally get an 8% discount or even a 7% discount, considering that people still have money to make after a 7% discount, Jiang Hui estimates that the purchase price of these shops is about 156 yuan to 20 yuan. There are slight differences depending on the fabric and washing quality.

Jiang Hui's parents are in the clothing industry, according to the information they talked about in the previous chat, there is often a very big gap between the ex-factory price and the retail price of products in the clothing industry, and it has to be doubled several times at will.

Walking out of the market, Jiang Hui couldn't wait to find a phone booth to call his father to confirm whether there was any progress in the matter of confirming the source of goods mentioned yesterday morning, and at the same time, he could grasp the purchase price so as to further judge whether the project was a success.

"Hey, Jiang Hui, class is over?"

"Dad, it's early to get out of class, how about the things I asked you to ask yesterday?" Jiang Hui asked a little nervously.

"I asked a few fellow villagers and the owner of the processing factory, and if you get more goods, a pair of denim shorts only costs five or six yuan, and the denim skirt is about the same."

"So cheap?" Jiang Hui was a little incredulous.

"Then how expensive do you think it is, they are all small factories, the main thing is the money for the fabric, the labor cost is very cheap, the garment factory has to work for more than ten hours a day at every turn, and there are many cowboy towns here that do this. ”

Jiang Hui calmed down and thought about it, and felt that what his father said was right. In 03, the labor cost is still very cheap, and so many manufacturers in the cowboy city are gathered together, and the price of fabrics and processing is naturally much cheaper than elsewhere.

"Then you first find a few good ones that are sold by others, and buy a hundred pieces of denim shorts and denim skirts first, and then mail them to me. Jiang Hui thought that if he asked his father to buy more goods at one time, it was estimated that his father would be more worried, so he would order 100 pieces each, and then take the products to negotiate with various stores.

Jiang Hui then continued to talk to his father about his plan, dispelled his father's concerns, and once again explained that he would not delay his studies before hanging up the phone.

After buying random food nearby, Jiang Hui re-entered the market, and he needed to investigate and confirm the sales of each store. If you ask the owner directly, they will generally not bother you. I had to use a more earthy method, find a few representative stores, and observe the neighborhood for ten minutes to see how the flow of people and transactions are.

Although it's not a weekend, after all, the evening is a relatively busy time, and there are still a lot of people. After observing for almost two hours, basically each store can close one to two orders within ten minutes on average.

According to this calculation, it is no problem to sell six to twelve pieces of clothing in an hour, including five or six denim shorts and short skirts. In a day, there are fifty or sixty pieces based on ten hours.

Although retail sales in the morning are certainly not as good as in the evening, according to the casual conversations with the bosses just now, we can know that when the store first opens in the morning, it is mainly wholesale business, and after noon, it is mostly retail.

It's not a big list of how the wholesale business is, but on the whole, it shouldn't be difficult for a store to sell fifty or sixty items a day. The entire Kinchalide wholesale market has at least 1,500 sales in a day.

Considering that the zoo clothing wholesale market is not only the Jinkai Lide wholesale market, if the other four or five places were about the same size as today, then the sales volume would be six or seven thousand or even tens of thousands of pieces a day.

Of course, Jiang Hui didn't think that he could insert these tens of thousands of pieces by himself, but as long as ten percent of the shops took the goods from him, there were six or seven hundred pieces a day.

According to the price situation learned today, the cost of taking the goods is estimated to be no more than 7 yuan. If you double it and sell it to merchants, it will be a profit of four or five thousand yuan a day.
