Chen Fei and Chen Chen were wandering around in the commercial city. The stores were not big, about 20 square meters. There were about three to five people including the boss and the waiters, and various small commodities were displayed at the door.
Buttons, leather, hair ornaments, socks...are all very common items.
After asking around, Fade Chen found out that everything was sold by kilogram, no bargaining allowed!
But Chen Chen felt it was okay.
There are many small commodities, but the variety of local products isn't as diverse as it will be in the future. This is probably because the current owners still source their goods from the south and haven't yet started building their own factories. Furthermore, they're primarily focused on foreign trade.
[Open the shop and wait for foreigners to come and choose! ]
Chen Fei nodded. In fact, when he and Chen Chen were shopping in the trade city, they saw quite a few foreigners, but not many local people. These foreigners were specifically purchasing for foreign companies.
Then I saw a very interesting scene
The boss who didn't understand foreign languages used gestures with the foreigner, and in the end, miraculously, the deal was made.
I saw a boss successfully sign a contract with a foreigner.
Chen Chen held Chen Fei's hand and said, "Dad, it's so easy for them to do business. They can get business just by chatting casually, and the foreigners don't even bargain. It's really a blessing."
"I saw it, this business is so easy."
Chen Fei was even more determined to do business here. All he saw was money!
Chen Chen complained in his heart.
No wonder some local foreign language majors complained later: they thought they'd learn English so they could do business with foreigners, but it turns out they didn't need it at all; they could just gesture. Why bother studying English in college?
[No, really no.]
It's an era of selling goods. Everyone's looking for goods with money. People are just starting to get rich now, and it's completely different from the era of overproduction that we'll see later. That's why Taobao's business is booming. As long as you have low-priced goods, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell them.
Chen Chen said boldly, "Dad, let's build a factory here and make perfume. How about we make some money first?"
"Building a factory is too slow!" Chen Fei wanted to open Chen Chen's brain to see if there was any idea of getting rich quickly.
This is all stimulated.
Groups of guys were pushing various trailers back and forth, and the store owners were constantly using their phones to adjust the goods.
Watching others making money, Chen Fei and Chen Chen felt so excited that they had to join this market.
At this time, the two saw a foreigner who kept going in and out of various stores with a disappointed look on his face.
Chen Chen suddenly pulled Chen Fei over.
The two stood in front of the foreigner.
The foreigner was stunned and wanted to go around, but Chen Chenyou immediately stopped him. The foreigner was a little annoyed. He came here to purchase, but the people here didn't understand French at all and he couldn't communicate at all.
Business was not going well, and suddenly someone blocked his way, so the foreigner immediately wanted to lose his temper.
Chen Fei nervously protected Chen Chen, fearing that his son would be beaten.
Just when the foreigner was losing his temper, his eyes suddenly widened as he heard French.
"You...you speak French..."
Chen Chen smiled faintly. "So, Mr. Jones, I just heard you introduce yourself to those bosses. You're looking to buy some T-shirts, right?"
"That's right!" Jones said immediately.
So what if the other person is a child? It’s enough that he can speak French.
"Do you want to be my translator? I'm willing to pay you $100 a day for translation!" Jones said.
Chen Chen chuckled and said, "Let me introduce myself. I run a factory and my family makes clothes. I can satisfy your needs. Shall we talk?"
"Um?"
Seeing that the foreigner didn't believe him, Chen Chen immediately said, "If you don't believe me, wait for two days and I will give you a sample. You should be able to wait for two days."
Chen Chen calculated that there was no problem in sending two pieces of clothing from Qianlong.
The boss here doesn't understand French, so he deserves to make money from this business.
“This is my father!”
When Fade Chen heard Chen Chen introduce himself, he nodded quickly. He didn't understand anyway, so he just smiled.
Jones thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll give you my phone number, but I can only wait two days. If I don't see the clothes, our business may not be able to cooperate."
"Don't worry, don't worry!"
"You, a foreigner, come to Yiwu to buy clothes. You don't know the business. You should go to Yangcheng for clothes. This is for small commodities."
After the foreigner left, Chen Chen immediately explained to Chen Fei, "Dad, ask Jiang Peng to bring a box of clothes over. It's a big order. We're going to make some US dollars."
Chen Fei hurriedly called, not even wanting to ask, because he didn't understand anything!
But since my son said that he can earn US dollars, then it must be right. When it comes to making money, I should listen more to my son’s opinions!
A phone call was made, asking Jiang Peng to go to Yiwu the day after tomorrow morning to pick up the clothes from the factory.
And Chen Chen suddenly remembered something!
Taobao started to develop at this time, but foreigners were also involved in e-commerce!
Speaking of online e-commerce, it was foreigners who first started out!
What is the first generation of online e-commerce? It is Yimai!
But everything sold there is in US dollars!
Chen Chen pulled Chen Fei to squat on the ground and whispered, "Boss, let's go to Hong Kong Island!"
What a psycho!
Chen Fei's first reaction was that his son was crazy. It was his son's idea to come to Yiwu, and now he wanted to go to Hong Kong Island before finishing his business.
Fortunately, Fade Chen was already used to Chen Chen's jumping thoughts.
"Why do you want to go to Hong Kong Island again?"
"Because it's a free port!" Chen Chen said, "The goods imported there are all low-tax or duty-free. The well-developed financial industry makes it easy for us to raise funds. We just need to build a warehouse there, and then we can do international business. Pengcheng is also OK, but it's still not as convenient as Hong Kong Island right now."
Chen Chen was furious when he heard this.
If he were eighteen, he would have dared to go south to Hong Kong Island. After 1997, Hong Kong Island's housing prices are at rock bottom and are far from recovering to the prices before the handover. Going there now would be a bargain!
My dad might not dare go. There are so many advantages to developing in Hong Kong Island. The listing requirements there aren't that high. Even tea restaurants can be listed, not to mention warehouses.
My dad wants to get into luxury goods, so he has to go to Hong Kong. Mainland China doesn't have that kind of culture right now. But setting up a company in Hong Kong and then moving it to the mainland is different. Giving it a foreign name makes it look more upscale.
Chen Fei understood now and was very tempted, but he was still worried because Chen Chen was still too young.
Chen Fei was just thinking about this when suddenly the plastic bag in the hand of a passing woman broke and money was scattered all over the floor.
The hundred-dollar bills fell directly in front of him.
Fade Chen helped to pick it up, but he was trembling in his heart. It was too exciting to see anyone here wandering around with hundreds of thousands of dollars in plastic bags.
"Son, I'll call Sister Feng and Li Xin over. I want to talk to them!" Chen Fei called immediately.
