Once reborn, Su Jiaojiao returned to the year she was forced into marriage. This time, she no longer escapes; she calls off the engagement, fights against scoundrels, earns money herself when broke...
Chapter 36 was secretly photographed
Mocheng Clothing Wholesale Market was built in the early 1980s and is the largest comprehensive wholesale market in Jiangbei area.
The market is divided into five areas: A, B, C, D, and E. The first, second, and third floors of each area are business areas, and the fourth and fifth floors are warehouses. The management surrounding the business areas is relatively complete, with well-equipped security monitoring rooms, logistics centers, passenger transport centers, and a separate foreign trade area, which mainly deals in some foreign trade products.
Sister Wang and Sister Tang are both regular customers here.
As soon as they got off the car, they went straight to their respective wholesalers to pick up the goods and soon disappeared.
Parking was not allowed at the intersection, so after they got out of the car, Wu Laoshi drove into the parking lot, leaving Qin Xiuming and Su Jiaojiao alone. Su Jiaojiao didn't say anything, and Qin Xiuming didn't say a word either, just following her silently.
Su Jiaojiao hadn't been here for many years. She only remembered that Liu Wenzhi was on the second floor of Area A. She wanted to call him to ask, but she couldn't find the phone number after searching through her schoolbag. She could only look for him based on her memory.
The second floor is filled with a wide variety of shops that stretch as far as the eye can see. It is divided into East Street and West Street, with boutique shops on both sides and stalls in the middle. It is bustling with people and noisy, just like a big market.
Not to mention finding someone, even the stall couldn't be approached for the time being.
"Su Jiaojiao, are you looking for a business?" Qin Xiuming followed her, teasing her. Su Jiaojiao was squeezed so hard that her shoes almost fell off. She said unhappily, "Just do your thing. Why are you following me?"
"I'm not following you, but the goods I need to pick up are also on this floor." Qin Xiuming is tall and can see far. He pointed to the stall in the opposite corner. "I don't have much goods, and it would be a burden to carry them all in my hands too early. If you've made your selection, I can help you carry them."
"I don't need your help." Su Jiaojiao was really annoyed with him.
"Excuse me, excuse me." Someone pushing a small cart shouted loudly in the crowded crowd. Qin Xiuming grabbed Su Jiaojiao and they moved aside. After the cart passed, he apologized: "Sorry, I didn't mean to."
"You're so boring!" Su Jiaojiao looked disgusted.
As soon as the words fell, two bright lights flashed before her eyes, as if someone had used a flash. Su Jiaojiao couldn't help but look up, and saw a young man with a camera hanging around his neck taking pictures of them. After taking the pictures, he lowered his hat and disappeared into the crowd.
"We're being secretly photographed." Qin Xiuming also noticed the man and said to Su Jiaojiao in a low voice, "Guess who he's photographing?"
"Of course it's you." A hint of mockery welled up in Su Jiaojiao's eyes. "I'm not worth taking a sneak shot of."
He is one of the future heirs of Jiahe Group.
His net worth is a thousand times, ten thousand times higher than hers, why would she, a poor student, take a picture of him?
"That's not necessarily true." Qin Xiuming glanced at her and said seriously, "You're a famous heroine at the Jiaoxian Fair. Maybe the accomplices of those two thieves are here today."
"Stop talking nonsense." Su Jiaojiao's hair stood on end when she heard that. She subconsciously touched the waist bag tied around her waist. This time she brought the payment for the goods from last time. If it was stolen, she would find a cotton bag to bump into it.
Liu Wenji came towards them, sweating profusely, pushing a cart full of jeans. Su Jiaojiao was delighted and immediately went to meet him: "Boss Liu, where have you been?"
"Xiao Su is here!" Liu Wenji took off the towel from his neck and wiped the sweat off his face, pointing upstairs. "A leader came to inspect today and asked us to clean up the things piled up outside the warehouse. Look, we finally finished cleaning up."
"No wonder I couldn't find you." Su Jiaojiao immediately stepped forward to help him lift the pants from the cart onto the stall. Liu Wenji thanked him and walked into the stall. "Are you here again to buy leggings?"
"Let me take a look first." Su Jiaojiao touched the jeans. They were classic dark blue skinny jeans with a little stretch. The feel, color, and style were all very good. "How much are these jeans?"
Liu Wenzhi's products have always been able to capture popular trends.
It will never become obsolete.
"These are new arrivals. They're more expensive than the leggings. Even if you take them, they'll still cost fifteen yuan." Liu Wenji picked up the water cup and gulped down a drink. "If you think they're too expensive, just take the leggings. They'll still be the same price as last time."
"I'll settle the last bill first, and then ship this time." Su Jiaojiao took out the payment she had prepared long ago from her waist bag and handed it to Liu Wenji. "Count it, it's exactly 874 yuan."
Liu Wenji took it, spit on his fingers, counted them twice, and nodded: "Just right!"
As he said that, he took out his account book, tore up the IOU written by Su Jiaojiao, and gave it to her. "No matter what goods you put in, I'll give you a discount."
Su Jiaojiao counted the money in her pocket and felt a little conflicted.
Leggings are cheap, they are sold cheaply, and the profit is small.
Although jeans are a bit expensive, they can be sold at a good price. These jeans cost fifteen yuan a pair, and it is possible to sell them for thirty or thirty-five yuan.
Also, the weather is getting colder now, and she is already wearing long johns under her school uniform pants. Leggings are so thin, she can only wear one pair of long johns underneath, and any more will not look good. If the temperature drops, leggings will definitely not sell well, so she will have to wear jeans.
She can sell jeans until November or even the end of the year.
It's only fifteen yuan a piece, which is a bit expensive.
Including the car fare and freight, the cost price is about sixteen dollars.
She still had more than 900 yuan in her hand, and she could only spend 700 yuan at most to buy goods. She had to keep some pocket money.
It costs 700 yuan to buy more than 40 pairs of jeans, and then I sell them for 30 yuan each, making a profit of 560 yuan.
After much deliberation, Su Jiaojiao made up her mind and decided to buy the jeans. She still had to bargain with Liu Wenji: "Boss Liu, we are old customers. Can you give me a discount? Fifteen yuan. You know the cost is too high. If you make less profit from me, I will come here often."
If the sales are good, she won't come to Mocheng next time, and will ask Liu Wenzhi to take the goods to Jiaoxian for her, which can save her some travel expenses and time.
"Xiao Su, I didn't ask you for much!" Liu Wenji smiled and picked up the calculator to calculate again. "How about this, I'll give you 50 cents. 14.5 yuan. For this quality, it's very cheap."
"Please pay for my travel expenses!" Su Jiaojiao also laughed, "Fourteen!"
"You're still bargaining with me on the wholesale price!" Liu Wenji glanced at the calculator and nodded after a long while. "Okay, then fourteen. It's a deal. From now on, no matter how much you get, no bargaining."
"Thank you, Boss Liu." Su Jiaojiao took his calculator and pressed it, "Then let's do fifty!"
Fourteen dollars, fifty pieces, exactly seven hundred dollars.
We can’t add any more, as too much will cause inventory to become a bottleneck.
Liu Wenzhi packed her fifty pairs of jeans and brought them to her in a cart.
Sister Wang and Sister Tang hadn't returned yet. Wu Laoshi looked at his watch and said helplessly, "Those two women won't be back until the appointed time. Even if they finish loading the goods, they'll still be away for a while."
Then he asked Su Jiaojiao, "By the way, isn't Qin Xiuming with you? Where is he?"
"I don't know." Su Jiaojiao only then realized that Qin Xiuming had disappeared. "He probably went to stock up on goods."
She said her ears felt much quieter.
It turned out that Qin Xiuming had left without knowing when.
Wu Laoshi put the goods on the back truck for her and pointed to the Foreign Trade Mall: "Have you ever been to the Foreign Trade Mall? I saw a lot of people carrying goods over there."
"Then I'll go take a look." Su Jiaojiao felt bored sitting in the car alone, so she opened the door and got out. "Wait for them to come back and call me, and then I'll go around there."
