Chapter 105: Bulk Purchases (9)
After the matter of the craft factory subsided, Xiaoli provided Yun'er with a purchase message, saying that one of her relatives worked in a place not too far from Shenyang, where jade and agate were being mined, and the agate production was very high, and it was not long after mining, and merchants, mining bosses, and craftsmen from all over the country flocked to it. The price is very cheap, mined locally, processed locally, and sold locally. So far, there have been no fakes. Her relatives lived in that agate mine, and said that many people had made a fortune on agate. Xiaoli said that her family's economic strength is not good, and her father is a tough laborer. Her relatives said that the quality of the jade there is not too good, some rough, but the quality of agate is good, and the small pieces of irregular, well-drilled agate beads are all on the scale. A pair of agate bracelets is only eight yuan, and you can enjoy the wholesale price if you buy more.
The price of agate in the Qing Dynasty is not low, mainly because the mining conditions are too poor, and the craftsman's carving equipment is too primitive, and a string of agate pearls is a national treasure. It can't be compared with here, exotic carving agate can be done with a computer engraving machine, and drilling is done with a laser machine.
Yun'er immediately came to life and muttered to the prince what to do. The prince said: "I'm afraid you can't go, the child can't do without it." "I discussed it with the eldest sister, and the eldest sister also resolutely said no. In fact, Yun'er also knew that it couldn't work, but if she wanted to buy some, she rushed to this price, bought it back and sold it at the price of Daqing, and made money steadily!
"Look, the child is so young, and he is still nursing. Put it at home for a few days and you'll be back to milk. If you don't feed for a few days, you won't be able to stand it at all, and it will swell. It's even worse to take children, and if you get motion sickness, you will have to take a ten-hour car ride to get off the bus from Shenyang. The environment on the train is quite bad, the child is too young, it is easy to catch a cold in the cold, and the car for ten hours is even more unbearable, it is inconvenient for you to breastfeed, and it is inconvenient for the child to urinate, in case the car breaks down, or any other problems. Buying things is important, and children are even more important. Don't worry, let a few young people accompany Mr. Fu, they will bring you the condition of the agate with a camera, and then you will sit at home and direct what to buy. How much to buy is up to Mr. Fuku. ”
"Is there such a convenient way? That's great! I don't dare toss the child out. That's a hassle for a few friends. ”
In this regard, the eldest sister in the family helped Yun'er to check the gates, and the four young people Xiaoli, Yan Sù, Hailong, and Tian Liang went to Liaoning with the prince. Ten hours to Shenyang, and then take a long-distance bus to the agate production area, Xiaoli, Hailong, Yan sù will take pictures, each with a digital camera, as well as a video camera, the third morning on the appearance of the product sent back, the main products are agate ornaments, Buddha statues, Buddha beads, seal materials, bracelets, necklaces, waist wear, bracelets, pendants, shafts, pen holders, etc., into catties also, that is, those drilled holes of agate beads and irregular pattern of agate blocks.
Agate Yun'er still understands a little, and tells the prince that you can buy a little ornament, don't buy Buddha statues, and don't treat Buddha statues as commodities. Don't buy shaft heads and pen barrels at all. The shaft head is used for mounting, which is easy to break, and the main thing to look at the scroll is the content, and not the shaft head. The same is true for pen holders, writing and painting are used brush heads, and those who do not use pen barrels are afraid of falling, so there is no need to buy. Buy some seal materials, buy more pendants of the zodiac, buy more bracelets, necklaces, bracelets, waist wear, chest wear, and buy some irregular agate blocks, put them in the fish tank as decorations, or for bonsai. Agate beads should be bought more, it is best to buy some large and small, the more complete the variety, the better. Jade can be bought in small quantities, preferably processed ready-made. No matter how delicate it is, it's better than plastic, right? If there is a ready-made jade pendant, the price is cheaper and buy some, the jade thing does not hurt people.
Xiaoli told Sù Yun'er on the phone: "Sister Yunyun, your Mr. Fu is really generous, and people will buy a lot of the varieties you pick." Here is a one-stop service, after the selection of goods, packaging, consignment is fully responsible. All the way to the train station, Yan Sù and Hailong looked at the salesperson there like secret agents, do you know how many agate Mr. Fu bought? One hundred tons! The weight of agate is heavier, a pound is calculated at 20 yuan, and 100 tons is 4 million yuan!
Twenty tons were given for giveaways alone.
Xiaoli called Yun'er to report the situation, and the first sentence was: "Sister Yunyun, your husband is such a big money!" It's called chic, and the mine manager there is terrified! However, Mr. Fu did everything according to your instructions, and if you said that you would not buy an agate pen holder and a shaft head, people would not buy a piece! The most bought are agate beads, agate beads of different sizes and different functions, which are really round and jade, and the water is smart. Did you know? Those gifts are all agate beads, all colors, and it is best to wear bracelets and Buddha beads. I grabbed all the pockets on my body before packing, and I couldn't even walk. When I returned to my accommodation, I wore dozens of bracelets! ”
The eldest sister said to the phone: "Fake public and private, take advantage of the fire to rob!" ”
Xiaoli didn't care at all, and continued to "wah-wow-la-la" and said: "The procurement task has been successfully completed, we rented a van to lead the team in front, followed by fourteen ten-ton trucks, the caravan roared, and set off from the agate production area to Shenyang!" The agate was to be loaded onto a train back to Beijing in Shenyang. Loading at the cargo station in Shenyang before paying the payment, at that time it is good to go home! Sister Yunyun, I miss you so much, I miss baby Beibei, two good babies, kiss one with my aunt? ”
On the fifth day, a few of them came back in the dust. The first thing you do when you enter the house is to shower and change clothes, eat, and sleep. I'm so tired! The most tiring thing is not to buy goods, but to take a car and circle on the mountain road. I can't fall asleep or wake up when I shake it. It's ten hours each way, it's better to come back, follow the car that pulls the goods, rent a van, the car is not crowded, much more relaxed. When I went, I took the bus, and there were only three seats for five people, and everyone took turns to rest. Yun'er felt very guilty and distressed. How could the prince have suffered such a sin when he came down from the battlefield? This is a highly decorated prince Chitose. As soon as he said he wanted to buy it, he went.
At night, the prince told Yun'er that the bus was really dangerous, walking on the winding mountain road, with steep cliffs on one side and a deep valley on the other, if the brakes failed, it would be hard to imagine! Yun'er was very scared, hugged the prince's waist, and regretted letting him run so far!
The prince told Yun'er that he had decided, and he had gained insight and would not go in vain. He saw with his own eyes how people gave the beads an eye, and it was a ray of light that "swished" through it. There is also a water column, a very thin water column, aimed at the place to be punched, and it rushes over at once.
The agate products inspired Yun'er: she saw a variety of colorful plastic beads on the sachet samples, which were colorful. The Qing Dynasty has silk and satin sachets, but there are no such colored beads, agate beads are of course good, but the price is much more expensive than plastic beads, agate is very heavy, and the sachet is not only too expensive, but also panicked. If you can buy plastic beads and glass beads and go back to process sachets by yourself, you should be able to make money. Just ask the eldest sister, the eldest sister agrees with Yun'er's idea very much, and says that it is easy to do, and you will know it when you check it on the Baidu website. In this way, the eldest sister personally checked on the Internet. As a result, there is a manufacturer in Beijing that specializes in the production of plastic colored beads. Not only plastic, but also glass, wood, crystal glass, zircon, gold and silver foil, stone, and many more. There are many varieties of glass beads alone, such as large, medium, small, and micro beads. Beads are not only round, but also square, multi-faceted, oblate, drum-shaped, drop-shaped, and so on. According to the address on the Internet, the eldest sister contacted a plastic color bead factory in the western suburbs of Beijing, and the factory director asked the eldest sister to come and see the goods in person.
The next day, Mr. Zhong, the eldest sister, Wang Ye, Yan Sù, Hailong and Xiaoli took a car to the color bead factory. After meeting the factory director, he directly told him that he wanted to buy more, and he had to see the goods with his own eyes before deciding how much to buy. The factory director said happily: "Great, everyone go to the sample room to see the sample." ”
Then hand the price list to Yan Sù.
There are many varieties of beads here, including acrylic beads, acrylic transparent beads, colorful beads, fluorescent beads, multi-grain beads, solid color beads, imitation jade beads, five-petal flower beads, glue stone beads, electroplating beads, imitation pearl color beads, imitation glass color beads, spray paint color beads and other plastic color beads. The director of this color bead factory is a middle-aged man, and he looks very kind from his face. It has been repeatedly said that the price will be discounted if you buy more, and there will be giveaways. The three of them are all funny, how come any manufacturer treats gifts as a seemingly important thing? Yun'er bought these colored beads to use them on the sachets, or to decorate clothes, and also wanted to use them on the jewelry she made. This thing really doesn't exist in the Qing Dynasty, and it may be favored by young women and girls. The weight of the plastic beads itself is very light, and there are perforations, if you sell medium-sized colored beads for a penny, on the bag to buy is a pound of a pack, there are about 5,000 colored beads in it, five yuan a pound, so it is still a pound to buy cost-effective. It's equivalent to a penny a piece, it's too cheap! The retail price in the market is two dollars and five hundred and fifty taels. A one-meter cubic carton can hold 600 bags, so an extended car can load 180 boxes, that is, 10,800 bags, 100,080 yuan.
The factory manager spoke: "Make a whole car, and one car will be calculated as 100,000 yuan." If Mr. Fu can buy all the beads in our warehouse, we will have a gift. By the way, the colored beads in our factory warehouse can be filled with more than 20 extended cars, and the 20 cars of colored beads are genuine, and the rest are gifts. To illustrate, the gifts are all beads that fell on the ground during the production process, and there are all kinds of materials, mixed together, and there is no time to pick. In order to distinguish them from the original, these 'mixed' colored beads are packed into wooden boxes. Exactly two hundred boxes. Genuine colored beads are not all plastic, but also glass, crystal glass, metal, wood, ceramic, gold leaf, and a small amount of zircon. They are all sold to you at the lowest price of plastic colored beads. ”
Even Mr. Zhong was taken aback: every ton of genuine products was reduced by tens of thousands of yuan, and 200 boxes of colored beads were given away for free, even if it was a 'mixed mix', it was worth tens of thousands of yuan.
Wang Ye asked the factory director: "Is your account correct?" ”
The factory director thought that the prince was too expensive, so he pinched the calculator for a long time. The prince asked Hailong to calculate again, and the result was the same.
The factory director thought for a while and said, "I don't know which gentleman is the one who makes the decision?" ”
Wang Ye hurriedly pushed Mr. Zhong out, and Mr. Zhong was not polite: "Mr. Factory Director has something to say." ”
"What is your surname, sir?"
"Don't be surnamed Zhong."
"Mr. Zhong, at first glance, you are a knowledgeable and cultivated person. So I opened the skylight and said something. The economic benefits of my factory have not been optimistic, and the company has been losing money since the beginning of the previous year, and the factory site has been sold to a returnee who wants to return to China to run electronic products, so the factory has stopped production, and all the workers have been laid off. I'm ashamed, I'm sorry for the workers. I also wanted to give them the last month's salary, so ......"
"I see. However, these colored beads are very small things, and they can be used for a long time when they buy a car, and they will become old after a long time......"
"Or are you not a businessman? Wouldn't you wholesale to vendors at the stalls in that morning and night market? The retail price in the market is two dollars to two dollars and five and fifty taels, how much can you calculate how much you make? The aunts who visit the morning market and the night market like this kind of thing the most, and they can make money if they have nothing to do after retirement! If you can pull them all away, you can sell them all to Mr. Fu at the price of 50,000 yuan a car. There are also some scattered colored beads of other materials, which are put together, and can fill a total of twenty-eight carts. The total amount is $1.4 million. ”
Mr. Zhong smiled: "Don't you think you're losing money?" ”
"The land belongs to the state, and the wages to the workers are subsidies given by the state. The sales proceeds were intended to be distributed to the workers to make a living for themselves in the future. The workers in this factory have long lost the heart to work here, and are riding horses to find a way to survive. Some have already driven taxis, some are doing wholesale in some market, and some are wholesale color beads, and I and more than 20 brothers and sisters who have a close relationship are standing up and staying up here. Now wait for someone to buy the color beads, distribute the payment to everyone, and then go to their own Yangguan Road. If we are asked to wait here to sell out the lottery beads, another ten years will not be enough, you are tantamount to a great favor for me, and some discounts should be deserved. ”
"How many workers are there in your factory?"
"It's all about three hundred."
Mr. Zhong looked at the expression of the factory director very sincerely, but he felt that there were too many beads, such a small thing, more than 20 cars, I am afraid that it will not be used up in a hundred years. I could only look at Wang Ye and Yan Sù.
The prince knew that Yun'er wanted to buy it very much, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense. Yan Sù's expression became even stricter, and he said before he objected: "Yunyun, how do you use so many colored beads?" "When he was in front of people, the prince also called Yun'er Yunyun. Yun'er said: "Make sachets during the Dragon Boat Festival, and that small handbag can also be inlaid with a little beads." "Yes, I just want to buy it.
Yan Sù thought about it, one million is a drop in the bucket for Mr. Fu. In order to please the beauties, even the rice paper was bought for 20 million yuan, so don't talk nonsense, why bother to let the beauties hold grudges? So he came up and said good things: "Since Yunyun likes it, then buy it." In the future, let's have a wholesale and retail, just now the factory director also said his difficulties, so let's help him. ”
The director hurriedly bowed and thanked him. Because he repeatedly lowered the price, Hailong and Yan Sù were embarrassed to bargain with him.
The prince said, "Then buy it." Mr. Factory Director will bring your people, you have to count it, and hurry up on the scales, let's do it. ”
The factory director clasped his fists again: "I met a noble person today!" Thank you, thank you! I'll go find someone, and you sit down and rest first. ”
Yun'er asked the prince in a low voice: "Sir, do you really want to buy more than 20 cars?" ”
"Buy it, buy it, there's something there, aren't you going to make any sachets, stinky bags?"
Hailong and Xiaoli laughed without any image, I hadn't heard that there was such a thing as a stinky bag, and this Mr. Fu was humorous enough.
