Chapter 262: The Owner of the Cargo is Late
Zhu Xiaohua asked, "How many goods do you have?" ”
The boss said, "It's not much, all the brand films add up, about 2,000 boxes." Exactly the last wholesale volume you took. ”
He doesn't have much money, and he is afraid that if he buys too many goods at one time, no one will have to press it in his hands.
So after the goods arrived, he contacted Zhu Xiaohua as soon as possible.
Zhu Xiaohua said: "I'm afraid this amount is not enough. I came this time, and I was going to buy more. ”
The boss asked, "So how much are you going to buy?" ”
Zhu Xiaohua stretched out a slap and said, "About fifty boxes, about five thousand boxes." ”
He carried 60,000 yuan in cash, and if calculated according to the last purchase price, he could probably buy fifty to sixty boxes, which is exactly five or six thousand boxes of film.
The boss was surprised again and asked, "So much film, take the liberty of asking, what are you for, you need so many goods?" ”
Zhu Xiaohua said calmly: "I opened a photo studio. ”
The boss nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Five or six thousand boxes, two or three times as many as all the films in my shop." It seems that I have to help you find someone this time, but I don't know if anyone else has so many goods. ”
His wholesale film store is the largest in the Marlboro market, and he's not sure if anyone else has been stocking up in large quantities lately.
Zhu Xiaohua said: "Then there will be labor." ”
The two of them went to a store between the two stores. There are cameras, film boxes, lenses, batteries in the store, and the guys in the store are about to close.
When the shopkeeper saw the two of them coming, he shouted from afar: "Lao Lu, you haven't gone back so late." ”
Lao Lu is the name of this boss, and everyone in the market calls him that.
Lao Lu said: "I am receiving big customers, and I want a lot of them, and my family can't supply them, so I want to ask you." How many goods do you have here? ”
The shopkeeper's surname was Ma, and he looked at Zhu Xiaohua and quickly recognized it.
The shopkeeper Lao Ma exclaimed: "Isn't this the person who bought all the film in the market last time, what is Zhu here, the district chief also specially organized a delivery ceremony, and hung a big red flower on the front of the car." ”
Lao Lu nodded: "Zhu Xiaohua, it's him." ”
Lao Ma continued to explain: "Yes, it's called Zhu Xiaohua." I'll just say, we all have an impression of such a big stroke last time. ”
Lao Lu urged him: "Let's get down to business, take out all the films you have." ”
The shopkeeper, Lao Ma, was a little embarrassed and said, "Yo, I'm sorry." I don't have a lot of goods, only about 500 boxes, and all of them have been ordered, and I am also from Los Angeles, called Chi Chong. I don't know if you know the little brother? ”
The two looked at Zhu Xiaohua.
Chi Zhong is the name of Wan Xiaoli's brother-in-law, the one who often shakes the plum fan in the Times audio store.
Zhu Xiaohua was taken aback, thinking to herself, Wan Xiaoli's brother-in-law's movements were really fast enough. I heard Wan Xiaoli say this morning that his brother-in-law was going to come here to buy goods, but he didn't expect to book it in the evening.
The shopkeeper, Lao Ma, continued to explain: "I received a telegram from him this morning, and in the afternoon he had a friend who came over and sent a deposit of 100 yuan. Before I could say yes, someone else put the deposit on my counter. ”
Lao Lu and Zhu Xiaohua were a little disappointed.
In this way, it will be difficult for him to get the goods he wants at once tonight.
The shopkeeper, Lao Ma, was a little embarrassed, slowed his tone, and said, "However, don't be disappointed. There are a lot of films sold here. I know that Lao Chen on the other side also bought 600 boxes of film yesterday, let me help you ask. ”
Lao Lu said: "Really, it would be better if this was the case. ”
Lao Lu also decided to go to a few other places to ask.
The three of them walked out of the shop, along the brick and stone pavement, and walked to the shop diagonally opposite. The two shops are only twenty or thirty meters apart.
When you leave the store, you can see that it is dark and it seems to be closed.
When they walked to the front, they saw that the doors and windows were closed, and the three of them walked to the glass window and looked inside, and vaguely saw a lot of film on the container, but no one was there.
The shopkeeper Lao Ma said: "You are late, at this point, it is estimated that you have already gone home to rest." ”
Lao Lu took Zhu Xiaohua to a few more shops, most of which were also closed and had already gone home to sleep.
Occasionally, there are two that are not closed, either there are not many goods, or they are already booked.
Walking to the front of the fifth store, Lao Lu asked the owner, "Have you got film in your store?" ”
The shopkeeper replied, "I bought 300 boxes, but they have already been ordered." ”
Lao Lu and Zhu Xiaohua glanced at each other, this was already the third one to be booked.
Zhu Xiaohua suddenly felt that there was something strange about this matter, and then said: "If my prediction is correct, the person who ordered the film is the late weight of Los Angeles, right?" ”
Lao Lu and the shopkeeper were stunned: "How do you know?" ”
The shopkeeper also nodded in confirmation: "It's this person." The other party didn't care whether I agreed or not, and gave me a deposit of 100 yuan, saying that he would pick up the goods tomorrow. ”
Lao Lu said: "Originally, someone came to my store today and said that they wanted to buy film. However, due to my relatively large volume, I have already contacted Zhu Xiaohua. I didn't answer it. Come to think of it, the person who came to inquire at that time should also be this late weight. ”
Zhu Xiaohua understood, he was secretly glad that he had taken the lead and came first.
The two of them went a few more ways, and all the Marlboro market sellers of film were either closed or booked by this man called Chi Chong.
However, the majority of them are closed.
The two walked around the wholesale market and only bought 600 boxes of film. There is still a big gap between Zhu Xiaohua's five or six thousand boxes.
The two stopped in front of the last shop that sold film.
The shop was also dark, with doors and windows closed. The shopkeeper went home to rest.
The two looked up at the sky, and on an autumn night, the moon and stars were sparse. It's seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
Lao Lu said: "Why don't you find a guest house to stay in first, and get up early tomorrow." When they open the door, we'll continue to buy. ”
Zhu Xiaohua felt that time was urgent and could not be delayed until that time.
Zhu Xiaohua pulled Lao Lu aside and said in a serious tone: "Boss Lu, you have to help me with this." I want to buy all the goods tonight and rush back to Los Angeles overnight. ”
Los Angeles is in full swing to take ID photos, everyone is sent out, and there is still a shortage of operators in the darkroom.
Zhu Xiaohua is worried that at the end of this day, Tang Yimin, Xiao Ding, and the Jin brothers may not be able to successfully complete the task. Photographs of the darkroom may not be able to develop much.
The current photo studio can't do without him for a day.
Lao Lu saw that Zhu Xiaohua was a little anxious, and immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll let the guys go door-to-door and call people up from house to house." ”
Zhu Xiaohua was overjoyed: "This is the best." ”
Lao Lu went to find a guy and asked him to go door-to-door to inform the owner of the wholesale film shop.
The old guy did as he was told.
An hour later, the shopkeepers came one after another.
Some people were already asleep, and they were woken up from the bed by the guys.
Before and after, a total of five shopkeepers came. Only a very small number of shopkeepers went out, were not at home, and no one was found.
