Sun Dahe was also looking forward to it. He rode his bike from the county town to his cousin's house early in the morning for fear of being late. When he heard his cousin talking about this big deal yesterday, he was determined to make the deal.
"I heard you say you had two children earlier. I didn't expect you'd grown up this big. This is my cousin, Sun Dahe. Brother Dahe, this is my sister. You two can discuss the details between yourselves. I'm going back to work first."
"Okay, you'll be fine, don't worry." Sun Dahe smiled and sent the girl out, then locked and locked the wooden door.
Sun Dahe first poured water for the two of them, exchanged a few words of greeting, and then gave Dabao a bag of fruit candies and asked him to play with his younger brother in the yard.
The three of them then went into the main room to discuss things.
"Sister, can you check the goods?" Sun Dahe is indeed a businessman. From just a few words and eye contact, he can tell that Li Qingyun is the one in charge of their family.
Li Qingyun had already put the things into the basket. She opened the cloth on the basket and found more than twenty small plush boxes neatly placed underneath. Including the one for Caixia, there were twenty-eight in total.
Shanghai, Omega, Prologion, Titoni. Several brands, both men's and women's watches, and ten Omega pocket watches, brand new in their packaging. Because they are high-quality imitations, the later technology is better, so you can't tell the difference.
Li Qingyun had a total of twenty watches and ten pocket watches. She kept one women's watch and one men's watch for herself and Gu Tingzhou, and sold the other eighteen watches and ten pocket watches.
Sun Dahe looked at the basket of watches with shining eyes, not knowing where to start.
After excitedly inspecting the goods, he took out a piece of paper and a pen and started writing and drawing something. Gu Tingzhou and Li Qingyun did not disturb him and drank water and rested on their own.
After a few minutes, he showed the paper to Li Qingyun: "Sister, you two have a look. This is the name and quantity of the goods in this basket, as well as their normal selling price in the supply and marketing cooperative. I will add fifty yuan to each of the above prices to show my sincerity."
Li Qingyun took it and took a look. The approximate prices of these watches were between one hundred and one hundred and fifteen yuan.
She handed it to Gu Tingzhou again. After looking at it, Gu Tingzhou said directly: "It's too little. You can sell these watches for at least double the price."
"Brother, how can that be? We just earn some hard-earned money, it's really not much." Sun Dahe thought that this man was actually quite knowledgeable. These watches could indeed be doubled if sold on the black market, but he didn't show it on his face and continued to negotiate.
"Tell me a fair price, otherwise we'll have to find another way." Gu Tingzhou didn't give in at all. He showed the same demeanor he usually used when training soldiers, with a serious face. He didn't look like he was talking about business, but rather like he was looking for trouble.
Li Qingyun thought that it was a good thing that she didn't agree just now. In fact, she was already very satisfied with the price given by Sun Dahe. She didn't expect that she still underestimated the value of these watches.
In later generations, they were just a pile of useless scrap metal, and no one would want them even if they were given away for free. But in the 1960s when industrialization was seriously backward, they were treasures that everyone was eager to get.
Sun Dahe was a little intimidated by Gu Tingzhou's aura. He was indeed a soldier, and his aura could not be underestimated.
He could only smile and say, "Sixty per watch, that's the lowest price. I can't go any lower. I have to make some money, right? Selling watches is risky. If I'm not careful, I could easily get caught. Besides, it's impossible to sell all these watches in one day. It's really not easy."
Gu Tingzhou stood up and said, "One price, eighty. You can make at least thirty yuan per watch, so twenty-eight watches would be eight or nine hundred yuan, which is already a huge profit."
With so much money, shouldn't you take the risk? Besides, watches are in short supply, so you can't just let them go to waste."
Sun Dahe understood that he had met a tough guy today. He originally thought that the woman was easy to talk to and he could make a lot of money this time, but he didn't expect that her man was so powerful.
Although it was much less than expected, after giving one hundred to my cousin and taking out three hundred to deal with the upper level, I could still get more than four hundred or five hundred yuan in the end, which was equivalent to a year's work.
If they continued talking, he suspected the man might just have to leave.
Sun Dahe said with a pained look on his face, "Deal, brother, you're too good at bargaining. I'll take care of it and give Caixia a share, so there really won't be much left."
Li Qingyun happily calculated that Gu Tingzhou's three or five words could earn her an extra eight or nine hundred yuan.
She still underestimated the value of these watches and the market conditions. If Gu Tingzhou hadn't come today, she would probably have sold them at a low price. She was already very satisfied when Sun Dahe guaranteed the price at fifty, and thought she could just add a little more.
In order to get this batch of goods, Sun Dahe brought all his savings over the years. Fearing that it was not enough, he borrowed some from his parents and sisters. Fortunately, he borrowed the money, otherwise the payment for the goods would not be enough.
He was determined to get this batch of goods. With this batch of goods, his other businesses would also benefit and his influence in the black market would be expanded.
In front of Li Qingyun and Gu Tingzhou, Sun Dahe took out a black cloth bag, took out a pack of Great Unity, counted them, calculated the corresponding amount of money, handed it to Li Qingyun, and motioned her to check it herself.
It was the first time that Li Qingyun saw so much money in the 1960s, which was no less than hundreds of thousands of dollars in modern times.
She and Gu Tingzhou checked everything together, confirmed everything was correct, put the cloth bag into the basket they brought, and stood up to say goodbye.
"Five thousand four hundred and sixty yuan, not a penny less. I wish Boss Sun a prosperous business." Li Qingyun said with a smile.
"You can't be called a boss. You just run a small business to support your family. You two are the real hidden talents, especially this brother. He has a great mouth. If you have any good things in the future, just come to me." Sun Dahe said with a laugh.
He had doubted the origin of these watches before and was a little scared, but he would be a fool not to make money.
The two of them went out, and Dabao was waiting for them obediently in the yard with his younger brother in his arms. Li Qingyun quickly took Erbao, and Gu Tingzhou also picked up Dabao.
After the family left the house, Li Qingyun quickly put the money in the basket into the space, and the two of them returned to the supply and marketing cooperative with their child as if nothing had happened.
Li Qingyun went to see Caixia again, signaled to her with her eyes that the transaction was complete, and bought two pairs of Ula shoes from her counter, one large and one small, in her and Dabao's sizes.
There was a pair of Gu Tingzhou's old big Ula shoes at home, but she and Dabao didn't have one. It was getting cold soon, so they had to buy a pair as a backup and wear them when they went out after it snowed.
Li Qingyun was happy to have made some money today. She bought some fruits and snacks, and then went to Jianshe Restaurant to buy some meat buns.
The two of them slowly returned to the ox cart and waited for everyone to go back together.
