Ekorem came out of Istanbul's city hall and turned around and spat viciously up the steps. Taking advantage of the guard's lack of attention, he quickly ran into the car on the side of the street and drove away.

The officials of the city hall were all deaf, nodding their heads at everything, and then waiting for the people who came to do the business to give them some tea money. The local chicken bureaucracy is also that virtuous, and he will smile when he has a few dozen dollars.

Ekorem made several trips for second-hand clothing. The money was paid, and the favor was found, but it just didn't work. He came out again today, holding back his anger.

At present, a lot of second-hand clothing on the market is simply smuggled goods, and even customs duties have not been paid. But no matter how loud the textile factory owner is, the upper level of the local chicken is half a beat slow.

Who knows when they'll react?

Back at home, Ekorem was so angry that he wanted to drop something. His son leaned over and offered a message, "Father, why don't we also do smuggling?" ”

"Nope." Ekorem flatly refused, "I am mortal enemies of those smugglers, and I will never be in the same boat." ”

The words are righteous and inviolable.

"But the factory has few orders left this month, and it will definitely stop production next month." The son shook his head, "If there is no new income, we will lose all our profits." ”

When it comes to profit, the son is more worried than the father.

Ekorem frowned, still shaking his head in disagreement. His son continued: "My friend said that there is a batch of low-cost leather shoes at the port......"

"I'm not in the business of smuggling." Ekorem exclaimed, "It's those damn smugglers who have made our family's factory what it is now. I can't reconcile with those villains. ”

"But those shoes are really cheap." The son said in a low voice: "Actually, it can't be regarded as smuggling, it is the confiscated goods of the customs, and they are all shoes on the left foot." ”

"What?" Ekorem was a little strange, "It's all shoes on the left foot, who wears them?" ”

The son smiled and said, "So this batch of confiscated goods is very cheap." If it can be matched with another batch of shoes on the right foot, it can be sold normally. ”

Ecorem is in business all year round, and it is easy to get started. He was surprised and said, "So there will be another batch of shoes on the right foot that will be confiscated?" ”

The son nodded and said, "We must buy about 30,000 shoes on the left foot first, and then wait for the second batch of customs auctions to buy the shoes on the right foot."

It takes some money to get someone to provide the information, otherwise it's easy to get it wrong. However, I contacted the exporter and the customs will release it. The point is that this batch of shoes is really cheap, only twenty dollars a pair. ”

"Second-hand shoes?"

"No, new shoes."

"It's the 'Holy Light' group again?"

"It's a European company under the name, but it's not clear who is behind it."

Ekorem groaned over this, and he asked his wife to bring him a cup of sweetened black tea, and after drinking it down, he began to think - since it was a goods confiscated and auctioned by the customs, it was naturally not smuggled goods.

If it's not smuggling, the burden on my heart is much less.

The price of a pair of twenty dollars is really impressive, but it's just ......

"The quality of these shoes can't be bad, right?" Ekorem asked.

The son immediately took out more than a dozen pairs of shoes from home, took them out one by one and handed them to his father, "All of them are cowhide uppers and hard rubber soles." Although we hate 'Holy Light', the quality of this company's products is guaranteed. ”

The shoes are indeed very good, the materials are solid, the craftsmanship is exquisite, and the glue and thread used are very good and impeccable. Ekorem tore at the shoe destructively, but didn't find anything too wrong.

"When did the shoes made by the Chinese be so good? The quality is no worse than the Italian one. It's only $20 a pair, which is too cheap. ”

Ekorem was a little excited. Judging by his decades of business experience, the wholesale of this kind of shoes is forty or fifty, and the retail can be one hundred. These twenty dollars a pair is simply bought and earned.

The son whispered beside him, "I recently heard a rumor that the 'Holy Light' seems to be deliberately trying to attack our manufacturing industry, dumping at us in various ways, so that we can not make money or even lose money.

Therefore, the price of light industrial goods around the Black Sea, as well as in North Africa and Europe, has recently been significantly reduced. For example, home appliances are discounted by more than 50%, second-hand clothing is overwhelming, and toys, bags, shoes and socks are very cheap. ”

"It's so hateful."

Ekorem slammed the table, startling the family.

Blocking people's money, such as killing parents.

So Ekorem looked down at the sample of leather shoes in his hand again, and suddenly realized a key question, "Wait, who is the original buyer of this batch of goods?" ”

The son was suddenly embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "There is no original buyer, it is the auction goods confiscated by the customs." ”

How can there be no original buyer? Or a fool would buy these left-footed shoes? Unless the original buyer is ......

Ecorem stared at his son, who could only bow his head and say, "I got some money with a few good friends to start this business.

But we have something to do with the customs, and they all know it. As long as it goes through the auction process, everything is legal. Definitely not checked. ”

Yes, who would buy 30,000 shoes with only one left foot but their own home?

This really has something to do with the customs, otherwise the confiscated items will not be auctioned and burned, wouldn't it be a toss in vain and empty-handed?

"Your good friend is from customs, right?" Ecorem stared at his son, "How much does he have to charge?" ”

Hearing his father's relief, his son nodded excitedly, "The management fee of two dollars for a pair of shoes ensures that we can photograph the goods we want, and it will definitely not be wrong." ”

The price is reasonable, and the profit margin is still sufficient.

And...... It's very legal.

Patted the left foot and then patted the right foot, the formal process came out, the formalities were complete, and I couldn't find fault.

"Since it's a legitimate business, you can do it."

Ekorem nodded, and after a little calculation in his heart, he realized that the profit of this 'legitimate business' was not low. A pair of shoes can earn at least ten dollars, and 30,000 pairs is 300,000.

Engaging in processing and production of 30,000 shirts with supplied materials can not earn so much.

The family runs a garment factory, although it has not set foot in the leather shoe business, but it can also be bypassed. Sales channels are readily available. As long as the price is competitive, it's perfectly fine to sell this batch of shoes.

Without further ado, Ekorem decided to take matters into his own. He first called the textile supplier he knew, asked about the current market situation of leather shoes, and also brought samples to the store to find customers to finalize the purchase intention.

Then it was time to go to the customs building at the port to handle the auction.

When I looked outside the building, I saw that there were a lot of people who came to handle the auction business. There are auctions of shoes and hats, auctions of auto parts, auctions of household appliances, and indispensable auctions of textiles and clothing.

The number of auctions can be much higher than the number of transshipments by fishing boats in small coastal ports.

Small fishing boats are not able to transport dozens of tons, usually only a dozen tons. But the arrival of large cargo ships is tens of millions of tons, and the overwhelming cargo is pouring in.

Ekorem looked at the auctioneer and thought that there was more than one factory to die for. The garment factory is going to be finished, and the shoe factory is going to be finished.
