Chapter 42 Cultural Shirts
"The telegram was received?"
The car rushed all the way toward the train station. Hou Yong looked at the phone in Qin Dong's hand while driving. The dirty words in his mouth began to greet Zhao Gang from afar, "What's this for? Zhou Yu got you to borrow arrows from the straw boat?"
This is not the first time that everyone has entered the market. It costs 50,000 yuan. It is impossible to make a big city like Shanghai.
"I'm going to be born Yu, why are you born Liang?" Qin Dong made a painful look and patted his chest hard, but turned his face but smiled uncontrollably, "It's okay, my reinforcements will arrive today."
Reinforcements?
Nowadays, TV and newspapers are advertisements for Xizi Beer, and even on the few billboards on the street, Xizi Beer is now competing with Coca-Cola.
Hou Yong observed for a long time, only a tall bald man walked towards Qin Dong with a smile, carrying a snakeskin bag on his back, but it seemed that there were not many things in the bag.
"One person, is this your reinforcements?" Hou Yong knew that Qin Dong had many ideas, but in a place like Shanghai, two people were not enough to drizzle with 50,000 yuan.
"Hey, I said, I don't stutter in Qinwan anymore, why did I stutter again when I arrived in Shanghai?" Qin Dong joked with his old friend. Hou Yong looked at the guy with big teeth from the reflector, and his face was full of disappointment. "Qin Dong, if you need me to speak, don't be polite, ask someone to give it to others..."
As for money, he knew that Qin Dong himself was not short of money.
Hou Yong left, Qin Dong smiled and said, "Let's go, Qin Nan is waiting in front."
This year, the Bund is being rebuilt, and the entire city is full of ordinary but strong atmosphere of life.
"Come on tea, three."
Lu Xuguang stopped by the side of the road and took out two cents. This was the tea placed on a bamboo stool at home. It was a cup of five cents, which was particularly delicious.
Qin Dong waved his hand, Qin Nan was standing at the door of a shopping mall, looking around looking for them.
Around her, people were dressed in a simple manner. The simple-dressed old man was looking at a girl in avant-garde dress. Her legs were exposed.
"Xiao Nan." Lu Xuguang roared, and Qin Nan turned around suddenly, and his eyes were filled with tears, "Brother——"
She jumped up excitedly and hugged Qin Dong's neck, and Qin Dong's eyes immediately became wet.
"Let's go, invite you to dinner, Green Bolang." Shanghai people knew about this hotel. The three of them got into a car. Qin Dong asked about the production situation of the second factory. The can of beer was also printed with the font he wanted. Lu Xuguang greeted Zhao Gang again.
"Brother, how can we let Shanghai people know about our beer? Should I mobilize my classmates to help our factory distribute flyers?" Qin Nan gave his brother an idea.
"Distribute flyers?" Qin Dong looked at his sister lovingly, "If I have to work hard on my sister, then I, as a manager, will be incompetent. You study hard and Daguang will accompany me in the afternoon."
"Where?" Qin Nan asked in confusion.
"Huating Road." Qin Dong replied with a smile.
The fate of Huating Road and Moshui Street small commodity market began in the early 1980s.
At that time, the cheapest bottom-floor ticket to Shanghai cost 6.8 yuan. When Lu Xuguang first started practicing the stall, more than 40 people usually formed a group to purchase goods. Both men and women were lying on the mat in the bottom cabin. In summer, the temperature in the cabin was nearly 37℃, and the bumpy road was bumpy and I couldn't fall asleep.
In order to save money and purchase more, he and his companions brought the cooked and dried noodles. They soaked them in water when they were hungry on the road. They had no strength at all when they were eating until the end. However, everyone endured their hunger and fatigue, and got off the boat and rushed to the market to select goods.
At that time, the popular clothing on TV could be visited Qinwan in about a week, and if there were any new styles in Shanghai, you could be visited various stalls within 3 days.
In the 1990s, Huating Road clothing market was famous for its cheap and beautiful goods and unique style. At this time, Huating Road market once became the leader of the individual clothing market in Shanghai with its unique geographical location and agile and fast market reaction, and became a "bridgehead" for leading young people in Shanghai to popular clothing.
"It's here." Lu Xuguang is more familiar with this place than his mother-in-law's house.
"Brother, I'm familiar with this place too." Qin Nan just kept his brother's arm on his shoulder and stopped letting go.
Huating Road Wholesale Market and Wujiang Road Food Street are probably the deepest memories of this city by foreign college students in the 1990s.
The road is lined with simple tent-style shops, small stalls with old clothes of various styles, clothes made by private tailors, and accessories. There seems to be a smell of unknown nationality floating deep in the market.
"Don't talk with me. You can walk along like a mountain. Don't let others see that you are a newbie." Lu Xuguang kept instructing.
"This time is still good, no matter how late it is, it will be closed." He raised his hand to look at his watch.
When purchasing goods at the wholesale market, you need to pay attention to the departure time. Try to go early in the morning. The wholesale market usually opens at four or five in the morning and closes at 3 pm. There are the most people at noon. It will be much easier to watch the consignment when there are fewer people. The boss will not be impatient to negotiate the price with you because there are too many people and cannot handle it.
Lu Xuguang took the lead and walked to a store with a snakeskin bag on his back. "Boss, Qin Wanlu's big head, cultural shirt, how much does it cost per pound?"
"Packaging or wholesale?" The boss was a small man, looking at Qin Wan's big head expressionlessly.
Each industry has its own rules, and there are some jargon rules that you must learn.
For example, there is jargon in the wholesale market. The wholesale store owner asks you whether you are "packing" or "wholesale". Those who have never been to the wholesale market will be confused and don't know the difference.
In fact, "packaging" means to buy more than six colors for one kind of goods, and "wholesale" means to buy more than two colors. In small shop business, it is generally only "wholesale", which is more cost-effective.
"Pack up." Lu Xuguang glanced at Qin Dong, "Give me a little cheaper, I want much more."
"How much can you ask for?" the little man smiled, "How much can you send out at a time with your body?"
"This time, you really need to do a lot, but you have to do a favor. We want the original version. You have to print our patterns and our words on it." Lu Xuguang took out a piece of paper and handed it to the little one.
The little man looked up at the pattern and looked at them again, "Okay, get the goods in three days."
"Two days." Qin Dong said immediately.
"Two days are fine. For the sake of big heads, how much goods do you want?" asked the little man.
"How much does it cost per pound?" Lu Xuguang interrupted him.
"It costs more, pack twelve per pound, and less, fourteen per pound." The little man lit a cigarette.
"I want 50,000 yuan." Qin Dong stretched out five fingers.
The small man's ashes immediately burned his feet, "Fifty thousand?"
"For 50,000 yuan, get the goods the day after tomorrow, give us nine yuan per pound..."
Qin Dong and Lu Xuguang bargained with the little man, and Qin Nan was stunned. She immediately calculated how many cultural shirts could be per pound?
