Lin Xiuzhen, who was in the late stages of cancer, died and transmigrated to the 1970s, into the body of a biased widow who had lost her husband and had five children.
The original host died ...
Chapter 136 Understanding the Market
She simply bought a bun on the roadside and then went straight to the market to have a look.
It was only two o'clock in the afternoon and the weather was very hot.
But after getting on the bus, quite a few people were still going out, and Lin Chuxia felt that her eyes were not enough to see.
The people here are obviously more fashionable than those over there. They wear clothes that I have never seen before, such as frog-eye glasses, which cost two yuan each when I asked the price.
She was a little moved.
After that, she saw a lot of things on the road, none of which she knew their names, so she went up to them shamelessly and asked.
I also learned from these people about the price of this thing and its current popularity among young people.
When Lin Chuxia learned that even movie stars dressed like this, she was really moved.
Prepare to go and check out the situation in a while.
Lin Xiuzhen told everyone as she went out that when you go out, you have to be sweet-talking and don't be shy. Be open and ask any questions you have. There are still many kind people in this world. You have to be on guard against others, but when you encounter a problem, asking can directly solve the problem.
Lin Chuxia now truly felt Lin Xiuzhen's good intentions, and everything she taught her was very practical.
It can be said that this is a guide to traveling and social etiquette.
It was recorded in great detail, and every time Lin Chuxia found the manual useful, she couldn't help but be grateful for Lin Xiuzhen's efforts.
Afterwards, the car arrived at the largest wholesale market here. As soon as we got off the car, we felt the bustling crowd. There were shops on both sides of the road. There was a shed in front of each shop and an aisle in the middle. Although the weather was so hot, there were still many people, and many people even came out with large and small bags.
What they carried in their hands were either snakeskin bags or large black plastic bags.
Most of the time they just carried the things on their shoulders and walked away, and some even pushed them on carts.
This is a really big scene.
Lin Chuxia excitedly followed the crowd inside, and then strolled around slowly.
Many of the shops sell clothes, and some of them even have a mannequin standing at the door. When Lin Chuxia first saw it, she was shocked.
The main thing is that some of these dummies have no heads, and if you look at them suddenly, you will be scared.
Later she found out it was fake and finally felt relieved. She didn't feel embarrassed at this time and went up to ask the boss about the price.
When the boss saw that it was a young man, he didn't give any perfunctory treatment and began to introduce himself in Mandarin with an accent.
"The styles we have here are all imported from other places. They are guaranteed to be trendy. They are worn by celebrities and are very popular."
The boss tried his best to sell the product. When Lin Chuxia saw something she liked, which was indeed the one on the poster, she immediately asked about the price. The price was different for different wholesale quantities.
She just wrote down all the prices first.
Refer to it again and then decide.
The boss originally thought that this was a young man who was trying to trick him, but he didn't expect that the other party looked quite professional and the price he quoted was relatively fair.
"Okay, boss, I'll go somewhere else. If the time is right, I'll come back."
"Okay, young man, when the time comes, whatever price other places offer you, come back to me and we can negotiate the price."
The boss was quite enthusiastic. After all, he thought the other party was not easy to fool, and he was also worried that Lin Chuxia would go to another store to buy.
Seeing that the other party was young but experienced, he thought that this might be an important client and did not dare to look down on him, so when he saw Lin Chuxia leaving, he said these words.
Lin Chuxia nodded, then wrote it down in her notebook, leaving room for negotiation.
After that, I went to a few other stores to look. In fact, the styles and prices were all similar. It seemed that the people here had reached some kind of tacit understanding.
But no one came out to break the rules.
Lin Chuxia later saw a lot of electronic watches piled up on the table. They looked very cheap, and when she asked the price, she found that they were indeed very cheap.
But Lin Chuxia was not tempted by this. She remembered what Lin Xiuzhen said in the notebook, that if you see something that looks like a bargain, then you should wait and see, and also look at the market and the reactions of people around you.
Lin Chuxia started to observe and found that these people basically would not come to this stall. Even if they did, they would leave quickly. The man selling watches kept shouting, but no one paid any attention to him.
This is strange. Lin Chuxia was also stopped and asked if she wanted to buy it, but she just shook her head.
If no one buys such a cheap item, there must be something wrong with it.
It’s better not to be greedy for cheap things.
After that, Lin Chuxia walked away, but he would still pay attention to her from time to time.
Sure enough, after a while, I saw a group of people coming over to look for someone.
However, as soon as the watch seller realized something was wrong, he packed up and left.
Lin Chuxia was dumbfounded and asked the owner of the shop next door.
"Boss, what's going on?"
"This is all from outsiders who are trying to rip you off. You bought this watch and it broke right after you bought it. If you want to buy an electronic watch, go over there. There's a store there with good quality and affordable prices. This kind of people are just scammers who are always on the move, specifically trying to rip off people from outside the province. Anyway, if you find it broken when you go back, you won't be able to find trouble with them."
Lin Chuxia didn't expect that everything Lin Xiuzhen had said to her before was right.
Sure enough, there are some bargains that cannot be taken advantage of.
Lin Chuxia was also a little scared. Fortunately, she had no money, otherwise, her money might have been cheated away by others.
Later, Lin Chuxia also saw many people selling hairbands, and the hairbands were all very beautifully made.
He is the type that little girls like at first sight.
After asking about the price, she left again. When she left, she took a thousand yuan with her. This money should be spent wisely, so if she buys something later, she should be able to get her money back as soon as possible. This is Lin Chuxia's idea.
She decided to wait and see and discuss it carefully after returning.
One of the bosses reminded Lin Chuxia, "Young man, come early tomorrow morning. It's busy here at four or five in the morning, and there are many new styles. You won't be disappointed if you come then."
"Okay, thank you, boss."
When Lin Chuxia went back, she made a phone call at the front desk back to the village.
She went back first to report her safety and to ask Lin Xiuzhen what she thought about the matter.
Soon, the call was picked up by Lin Xiuzhen, and then Lin Chuxia briefly explained the situation here and her own idea.
Lin Xiuzhen did not interrupt. She waited until Lin Chuxia finished expressing her thoughts before nodding.
"Your idea is very good. I think these things are good. What you buy are all acceptable to the public. However, I don't care about the specific proportions and how to spend the thousand dollars. You can allocate it yourself."
