Lin Qingqing also asked the noodle stall owner if there was a free wholesale market in the village.
The boss told her there was a market near the train station overpass and she could go and have a look.
When she heard this address, she suddenly had an idea and the Nansan Tiao Market immediately appeared in her mind. In her previous life, Nansan Tiao was the largest small commodity wholesale market in Jibei Province.
In the 1990s, the market transaction volume reached over ten billion, making it one of the top ten issuers in the country. The name of Nansan Tiao also became famous throughout the country, and it was known as "North San Tiao and South Yiwu".
However, it is now 1980, and the Minamisanjo Market has not yet been formed. There is only its predecessor, the "Tianqiao Market".
After Lin Qingqing asked for the route, she took Zhou Zhuo by bus to the east side of the overpass at the intersection of the railway station and the long-distance bus station. The transportation here is convenient and the passenger flow is concentrated. Merchants traveling from north to south have noticed this geographical advantage and spontaneously gathered here to form the "overpass market."
Since it was formed spontaneously by vendors and there was no unified management and regulation by the government, the market was simple and disorderly, but the prosperity here opened Lin Qingqing's eyes.
In this era when tickets are required for everything, the free flow of goods has undoubtedly led to an explosion in consumer demand. The main products sold here are various small commodities, including daily necessities, fabrics, clothing and shoes.
Lin Qingqing believed that she could find her own place here. She initially planned to wholesale clothing or fabrics, and sell them from the market to Jinning County to make a profit from the difference.
There were many businesses that could make you rich in the 1980s, but Lin Qingqing would not be reincarnated. Her reborn family had neither connections nor money. She could neither open a factory nor buy land in the south. She could only work her way up step by step with her feet on the ground.
For her now, the fastest way to make money is to engage in wholesale and retail.
Today happens to be a holiday, and the small commodity market is packed with people, and every stall owner is doing brisk business.
In particular, the stall owners selling popular wool sweaters and Dacron shirts were almost squeezed out by some young girls and housewives.
Lin Qingqing spotted the largest stall and finally squeezed in front of the stall owner. She asked the prices of wool sweaters and Dacron shirts. The stall owner told her that women's wool sweaters were 20 yuan each and men's shirts were 15 yuan each, and there was no bargaining.
Lin Qingqing calculated that the purchase price of the wool sweater was 20 yuan, and it would have to be sold for at least 30 yuan after being shipped back. The villagers had to work for a year to save about 100 yuan, and they absolutely could not accept this price.
Even in Jinning County, only a few people can afford woolen sweaters. After all, most people only earn 30 or 40 yuan a month. If they use a month's salary to buy a piece of clothing, will the whole family starve for the whole month?
Lin Qingqing quickly gave up the idea of buying clothes and went to the cloth stall to ask.
The cloth stalls are not as popular as the clothes stalls, but the people who come here are serious buyers, unlike the clothes stalls, where some come to buy for real, while others come just to enjoy the sight.
She walked around the market for a long time, compared all the cloth stalls, asked about the prices, studied the quality of the cloth, and finally decided to buy the cloth from a Zhang's cloth merchant.
After repeated selection, Lin Qingqing took a fancy to several fabrics, all of which were popular fabrics. She told the boss that she was selling them in wholesale, and the boss lowered the price a little.
Lin Qingqing remembered that the cloth she bought at the county department store was four yuan per meter.
