Chapter 305: Bargains are within sight, but not within reach
There are a lot of people in Shahe Wholesale Clothing City. In addition to people who come from all over the world to purchase goods, there are also many Taiwanese businessmen.
Taiwanese businessmen speak with a Taiwanese accent and are easy to identify.
Wholesalers usually have to come to the market very early, and Ye Ying has just arrived, so it is obvious that she is too late today.
She planned to walk around the market today to get familiar with it, and then come back to "shop" early tomorrow morning after she had a good rest.
After having a simple lunch at a small stall, Ye Ying began to slowly wander around the clothing wholesale market.
Many people were holding a large black plastic bag in their hands.
She knew that if she did this, the owner of the clothing stall would think she was there to pick up goods.
Not only may they give you a discount on price, but their attitude will also be better than that towards retail buyers.
So she followed suit and got herself some extra-large black plastic bags.
This is the experience she gained in her previous life.
There was a wholesale city called "Sijiqing" in the city where she lived her previous life.
The shop owners in this wholesale city have completely different attitudes towards retail and wholesale customers.
As a result, many people followed the example of those who came to pick up the goods, bringing an extra-large black bag and pretending to be wholesalers coming to get samples.
The price is naturally much cheaper, and the store clerks don't give you any cold shoulder.
Sure enough, after she was holding a few oversized black plastic bags, the stall owner and the waiters looked at her with enthusiasm, and waved to her one after another, asking her to come into the store to look at the styles.
But Ye Ying didn't plan to go into every store to have a look. She just took a general look from outside the store.
Then make a rough note of which stalls have styles that suit your taste, write down the numbers of these stalls, and then visit a few of them tomorrow to check out the styles.
By around 3 or 4 in the afternoon, some stalls had started to close, and the flow of people in the wholesale city had obviously started to decrease.
Ye Ying did not stay any longer and left the clothing wholesale city empty-handed.
There are many trucks parked outside the wholesale city, and there are also many stevedores pushing carts, looking for "customers" everywhere.
Ye Ying also looked like a wholesaler. As soon as she went out, several people came up to her and asked if she needed help with moving and loading goods.
She simply shook her head and refused, then found a small guesthouse nearby to stay in.
As a result, the sanitation and soundproofing of the guesthouse were so poor that I could hear the conversations of the neighbors late at night.
After torturing her until four or five in the morning of the next day, she was too lazy to even refund the remaining day's room fee and just ran away.
It was still dark at this time, but there were already many people in the wholesale city.
Those who are willing to sacrifice their sleep time to come here at this time should at least be genuine wholesale businessmen.
Ye Ying took out her little notebook, looked through the stall numbers she had written down yesterday, and began to check each one one by one.
Finally, only three stalls were selected for long-term cooperation.
The ready-made clothes sold at these three stalls are designed by their own designers. The styles tend to be Hong Kong style and the designs are relatively bold. The colors are not as conservative as those of some other stalls.
Second, the quality and materials of the clothes were quite good in Ye Ying's opinion.
The third and most important point is the price, which is what Ye Ying can accept.
As for the more common white sweatshirts, the owner of one stall waved his hand and said arrogantly: "If you buy enough from me, I can sell you these sweatshirts by the pound!"
By pound?!
Ye Ying was shocked on the spot.
Is this summer pullover so cheap?
"Boss Wang, are you sure you can sell these sweatshirts by weight? You won't lose money this way?"
Boss Wang himself was also wearing a white vest, with a cigarette hanging from his lips and a pair of down-to-earth flip-flops.
Hearing the doubt in Ye Ying's words, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I, Wang, have been running a clothing business in Shahe for many years. How could I possibly run a business that loses money?"
"Uh..." Ye Ying smiled embarrassedly and began to ask about the wholesale price.
Boss Wang’s store sells both men’s and women’s clothing, but Ye Ying only plans to do women’s clothing business at this stage.
Thinking of this, she remembered another thing.
"Oh, Boss Wang. You said that if I want to buy a lot from you, you can sell the sweatshirts by the pound. If my store only sells women's clothing, then I obviously can't sell this sweatshirt.
"I can see this bargain, but I can't get it!"
Boss Wang held his chin and nodded.
Ye Ying took the opportunity to ask, "So, are women's clothes sold by weight?"
"Well...this." Boss Wang looked thoughtfully at the bundles of men's sweatshirts tied with ropes.
After a while, he pointed to another pile of clothes that was half a person's height and said, "Use this instead."
Ye Ying walked over and picked one up.
"Underwear?"
Boss Wang is too honest. He sells this by weight. Is it really so worthless?
"Yeah, that's all I can think of." Boss Wang threw his hands helplessly.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he pointed to another pile of clothes in the stall: "Or this one will work too."
Ye Ying walked to the pile of clothes again and picked up one of them: "Slung-bottom top?"
"Hmm! Undershirts for men and tank tops for women, how about that?"
This kind of tank top can also be worn as a base shirt, usually worn inside. These days, few women dare to wear it so openly.
However, Ye Ying thinks tank tops are better than underwear, so she would choose the latter.
"That's fine. But how much do I need to spend at your house to qualify?"
"And how much is it per pound?"
Boss Wang gestured a number and smiled mysteriously: "As long as you buy goods worth 2,000 yuan from me."
2,000 yuan, this amount of money is actually not much in her opinion.
But with today's prices, the retail price of a set of clothes is probably a few yuan, and the price she gets when she buys them in wholesale is even cheaper. Even if she comes here twice, she may not be able to spend more than 2,000 yuan!
Ye Ying started bargaining without hesitation: "Can you give me a 50% discount? I really don't need so much for one trip! But I really want your tank top."
"You don't need so much for one trip. You can use it on your second trip."
Boss Wang did not give in and insisted: "You can ask other merchants in this wholesale market, how many years have I been working here? I am the living signboard of Lao Wang Clothing!"
“You can tell the quality of our clothes!”
It sounds like they want her to buy more goods at a time and get enough money to make up to 2,000 yuan. Or, when she spends 2,000 yuan, she can start to get the bargain.
Ye Ying couldn't help but look at Boss Wang seriously.
What a veteran.
