Chapter 5: Crazy Stockpiling (Part 4)



While it’s still early, Ruan Jiaojiao plans to continue stocking up.

Every time she read a novel, she'd see the heroine go to the countryside and give the children White Rabbit candies, or have them help with picking grass for the pigs. Ruan Jiaojiao thought, well, she definitely can't miss that.

So Ruan Jiaojiao came to a recently opened store, which mainly featured the style of the 1960s and 1970s to attract the public.

After paying the entrance fee, Ruan Jiaojiao entered the store.

This shop is huge, spanning three floors. The old-fashioned decor and equipment give it a distinctly vintage feel. Inside, there's even a replica of a supply and marketing cooperative, a department store, and a post office from the 1960s and 1970s.

These scenes are very realistic. There is even a waiter in the supply and marketing cooperative wearing a khaki that was very popular in that era.

They also sell White Rabbit milk candy, malted milk, vanishing cream, bicycles, radios, mechanical watches, Pechoin, Daqianmen, fruit candies, glutinous rice noodles, mung bean cakes, etc.

Ruan Jiaojiao also paid special attention to the production dates of these products. In order to make them more realistic, the product packaging and production dates still had the time of that era written on them, but the store owner put up a sign next to them saying "Not for sale."

After thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, the production dates are all counterfeit, and these products definitely cannot be circulated in the market.

So Ruan Jiaojiao called the waiter of this store and asked him: "Do you still have these products in your store?"

The waiter nodded and said, "Yes, we still have some in stock. They're replacements, not a lot, but we don't sell them."

Ruan Jiaojiao said, "Then I won't be selling them, and these items won't be circulated in the market. I'll just keep them for my personal collection, okay?"

The waiter couldn't make up his mind, so he called the boss over.

The owner of this store should be over 50 years old. In addition to making profits by collecting entrance fees, he opened this store more out of sentiment and nostalgia for that era.

The boss smiled kindly at Ruan Jiaojiao and said, "Little girl, I heard you want to buy these things for your personal collection?"

Ruan Jiaojiao nodded and said, "The elders in my family are quite nostalgic. As they are getting older, they always miss the past. It's almost their 80th birthday, so I wanted to buy them something to cheer them up."

The boss laughed and said, "You're a thoughtful kid. Let me give you the contact information of the cooperating factory, and you can contact them."

After getting the factory's contact information, Ruan Jiaojiao placed an order for 10,000 kilograms of White Rabbit milk candy, 10,000 kilograms of fruit candy that was characteristic of that era, 1,000 boxes of Daqianmen, 1,000 kilograms of glutinous rice noodles, 100 kilograms of mung bean cakes, 10 bicycles, 1,000 radios, 10,000 mechanical watches, and 1 million electronic watches.

Because in that era, bicycle purchases were recorded, and bicycles needed to be registered before they could be taken to the street.

So Ruan Jiaojiao didn't buy too much, just thinking that she could take it out and use it if there was an emergency.

In that era, watches were usually purchased at weddings, and a watch ticket was required, so they were quite expensive.

Therefore, Ruan Jiaojiao bought a lot of mechanical watches, intending to make a fortune from them. She specifically chose watches that were cheap but had good designs.

The reason for buying electronic watches is that in the mid-to-late 1970s, electronic watches first set off a craze in coastal areas. Although inland areas were three months behind the coastal areas due to the slower speed of information flow, electronic watches still set off a craze in inland areas.

Besides, electronic watches are cheap in themselves, so you can make more money.

This factory also makes nostalgic clothes, such as retro leather shoes, retro dresses, Dacron shirts, corduroy jackets, green military uniforms, etc. Ruan Jiaojiao bought 1,000 pieces of every model of everything she could think of.

Some of the clothes from that era are still not outdated even today and have a unique flavor.

After the reform and opening up, it can be sold openly and honestly.

When thinking about selling clothes after the reform and opening up, Hong Kong style clothing is indispensable.

Ruan Jiaojiao bought 1,000 pieces of various styles and models. She also bought some shiny and beautiful headpieces, hairpins, and hair bands.

After paying the deposit, Ruan Jiaojiao asked the manufacturer to deliver the goods to the designated warehouse, and they arrived within three days.

Finally, after a few days of crazy stockpiling by Ruan Jiaojiao, only 200 million yuan was left.

Ruan Jiaojiao was afraid that she would forget, so she immediately used the 10 million to buy supplies and then gave them anonymously to the children in the mountains.

Then he took the 190 million and continued to stockpile goods.

This time, Ruan Jiaojiao did not stock up on anything. Instead, she placed an order online for 1,000 packs of snail noodles, 1,000 packs of Baixiang instant noodles of various flavors, 1,000 packs of Korean turkey noodles, and 1,000 packs of every brand she could think of.

I also stocked up on various snacks and spicy noodle packs online. After all, I thought that when I was watching TV series, I could eat snacks while watching TV series.

But I needed a tablet to watch TV shows, so I ordered another 100 tablets and 100 computers online. I also paid extra for the service and had the vendor download thousands of TV shows and tens of thousands of novels.

But Ruan Jiaojiao thought again, many places didn't have electricity at that time. What if the tablet ran out of power?

So I ordered a few more solar generators online.

I guess I will be living alone for a long time in the future, so I can't avoid cooking and washing dishes by myself.

Just thinking about having to deal with those greasy dishes when washing dishes makes me feel terrible.

So I placed an order for 5 washing machines, 5 refrigerators and 5 dishwashers.
