Chapter 1362 East Gate

The meal lasted until after nine o'clock. During the meal, Wang Chulong and Ye Qianwen introduced a lot of Shenzhen's customs and culture.

Wan Feng listened with great interest, as if he was listening to a story.

The Dragon, Tiger and Phoenix set meal is indeed good. Even someone like Wan Feng who doesn't eat snakes and cats can say it's good, so it's undoubtedly a success.

Of course, the price is reasonable. This meal costs an ordinary worker several months' salary.

The money was paid by Wang Chulong and Wan Feng didn't feel sorry at all.

After dinner, Ye Qianwen said goodbye to Wang Chulong and sent Wan Feng to the hotel where he was staying.

"I thought you would crawl back drunk!" Luan Feng, who had rushed to the door to help Wan Feng into the house, was disappointed to find that Wan Feng did not come back for no reason, and she made a sarcastic remark.

"I'm not drunk at home, and I won't get drunk outside."

He rarely drinks at home and is more sensible when he goes out. What if he is set up by a blackmailer?

"Where are we going to play tomorrow?" Luan Feng asked while fiddling with the camera.

Although I took a lot of photos during my two-day trip to Shenzhen, I still have a lot of film left, and I must use up all the film before I go back.

"Tomorrow you can continue your trip. Go wherever you haven't been yet. After you pick up Xu Bin's goods, go on a trip tomorrow too. I have to inspect the goods tomorrow, so I still can't accompany you."

"I heard that Dongmen has a lot of Hunan and Hong Kong goods. I'm going to Dongmen tomorrow. Can I buy some this time?"

Since we are all going back, we can naturally go shopping.

It is true that most of the goods sold in Dongmen Old Street are parallel imports smuggled in from Hunan and Hong Kong, ranging from food, clothing, fabrics to various electronic appliances, gold and jewelry. Except for arms and drugs, everything is sold here.

Because the goods are all from Xianggang and cannot be bought in the mainland, there are countless people on business trips, tourists and various vendors gathered here.

Everyone who comes to Shenzhen from other places will buy a lot of things to bring back, whether for themselves or for friends and relatives.

Luan Feng was also thinking about what to buy.

After I finished the calculation, I was shocked and decided to hire a truck to pull it back.

"Sure, it doesn't matter how much you buy as long as you can afford it."

Dongmen Old Street was formerly known as Shenzhen Market. Before liberation, it was a market on the 2nd, 5th and 8th of every month and was where Shenzhen people did business.

Although Shenzhen has been reforming and opening up for more than ten years, Dongmen still retains its original appearance, with low houses and narrow streets.

Wang Chulong said that the Shenzhen government is now hesitating whether to renovate the East Gate. Some people suggest keeping it and some suggest renovating it. Now it is still in hesitation.

Wan Feng knew this. Although he had never been to Shenzhen in his previous life, he had watched many videos about Shenzhen.

Of course it has been renovated, but not now. It seems to have been renovated in the mid-1990s.

In fact, Shenzhen should really preserve the East Gate. Even if it has no cultural relic preservation value, it should be preserved as a kind of sentiment.

"It will take me about a whole morning to inspect the goods tomorrow. Then I'll notify Zhang Shiqian's delivery team to come and load the goods. We'll go back once the goods are shipped."

"You should send us to Xianggang for some fun."

"I'm afraid it won't work this time. Next time, Xianggang will definitely let you go. Now, the three of you go back to your rooms and sleep so you can get up early tomorrow."

I had no plans to go to Xianggang this time, what were you thinking?

"Oh right! Remember to bargain hard when you go to the East Gate to buy things, right?"

"Why are you bargaining so hard?"

"If someone asks for ten yuan for a product, your first bargaining attempt should be to offer two yuan, and then you can end up with three or four yuan, no more than five yuan, and you can bargain for all products at the same rate."

"What if it's something worth one dollar?" Luan Feng was ready to argue with Wan Feng.

"Just give him one dollar for anything that costs one dollar, and take four or five and go."

Luan Feng, Zhang Xuan and Liang Hongying looked at each other. Is it okay to bargain like this?

Wan Feng actually didn't know what the Dongmen Market was like. This was all told to him by Wang Chulong.

Wang Chulong said that no matter what product you buy at Dongmen, you can never go wrong by cutting it in half, and he also shared his secret of buying things at Dongmen.

Wan Feng didn't know whether it was true or not, but he told Wang Chulong's secret to the three women as it was.

The three women returned to their room laughing.

"Aren't you worried about safety when you go to inspect the goods yourself tomorrow?" Han Guangjia asked as he took off his shoes and went to bed.

"Ye Qianwen will send two men with me tomorrow, so safety should be no problem."

Upon hearing this, Han Guangjia was speechless.

Wan Feng can rest assured knowing that Ye Qianwen's men are protecting him.

Xu Bin was lying on the bed, looking at the game catalog on his baseboard.

This batch of 180 baseboards contains a total of 35 games, including new and old ones.

There are 27 old games and 8 new games.

He was considering whether to go back and replace the game bases for his arcade with some new ones, and then install his used bases into game consoles at a slightly lower price and sell them to others.

This guy is on the road to becoming a profiteer.

"Xu Bin! Why do I feel like that girl called Yuanyuan seems to be very interested in you? Don't you plan to take her to the north?"

Wan Feng fell on his back on his luggage, crossed his legs and took advantage of the last moments before going to bed to gossip.

"That's not true. She never told me that."

"You're such an idiot! How did you come up with such a thing to let a girl say that?"

Xu Bin stopped the catalog in his hand and asked, "What should I say?"

"So you're interested in her too?"

"It's not about whether I'm interested or not, I just have a good impression of him."

"Good feelings are only the foundation of love. There's still a long way to go before it becomes love. If things go well, you'll be like a pair of lovebirds. If things don't go well, you'll have to go your separate ways. If you think there's potential for development, you can test the waters a bit, like jokingly asking her if she's interested in coming north with you."

Xu Bin thought about it seriously and shook his head: "It's cold in the north. If they come here, they will probably freeze away. It's better to find a woman who can survive the cold in our area."

This reason is very strange.

The next morning, Han Guangjia and Xu Bin took the three women to travel to Dongmen. Wan Feng waited for the people sent by Ye Qianwen to arrive and then went to the electronics market to inspect the goods.

The inspection of these electronic components cannot be done piece by piece like Xu Bin’s game substrate. If these electronic components are inspected one by one, it will probably be the year 2000 before they are finished.

Wanfeng adopts the sampling inspection method. From a box or a carton, randomly take out one item and measure it with a multimeter.

After all, he had repaired home appliances before, so he could still tell a good electronic component from a bad one.

That's how it was. He spent the whole morning checking goods worth more than 400,000 yuan.

After the goods are inspected, they are packed and paid for. They are all packed in wooden boxes, which makes transportation easier and reduces losses.

After packing, Wan Feng paid for the goods and waited until after dinner to go find Zhang Shiqian's motorcycle delivery team.
