Chapter 98 The King of Bargains
Is this for real?
Was the train conductor testing him because he was afraid that he might be part of a criminal gang?
Who cares? Sleeping in a sleeper berth is so comfortable. The second brother didn't think too much and just paid for the ticket.
For five or six days straight, no one came forward to bring him food.
The second brother laughed self-deprecatingly. He must be overthinking it. Maybe some lady on the train thought he was handsome and brought him some food.
Later, when I couldn't find him, I gave up.
Before getting out of the car, the second son tidied himself up, looking at his well-proportioned face in the mirror with a narcissistic admiration in his eyes.
After exiting the platform, Jiang Ruzhen had called Tang Mi in advance, and Tang Mi sent a car to pick up the second son and take him directly to the factory.
The second son had never seen such a large-scale garment factory before. Tang Mi introduced him to the performance of various machines and his thoughts on how he started the factory.
The second son was deeply moved, but the visit also planted a seed in his heart.
During this time, Tang Mi was handling some business, while the second son followed beside her, learning diligently and attentively.
Upon arriving at the warehouse, we found that this shipment consisted of a batch of custom-made down jackets from overseas.
They often use bold color blocking designs, such as red and blue, green and purple, but the color proportions are harmonious.
The styles are mainly mid-length and oversized, balancing warmth and fashion. Some down jackets feature practical designs such as removable down lining and retractable hood.
The second son immediately kept one item for each family member, and packed the rest up and sent them to Yangcheng as his mother requested.
After the goods were handed over, Tang Mi didn't have time to see Lao Er off. Lao Er took the factory's accountant to withdraw the money and didn't bother Tang Mi anymore.
Immediately afterwards, he went to the mall and bought a batch of currently popular winter clothes.
It was already late December in the north, and when he set off, Liancheng had also experienced a snowfall.
He needs to buy some cotton-padded clothes to sell, but in coastal cities like Liancheng, winters are not actually very cold, at most around minus seven or eight degrees Celsius.
Most families mainly make cotton-padded clothes by hand, filled with cotton or synthetic fiber materials.
Young people often wear work clothes and cotton-padded coats, while older people prefer thick cotton-padded trousers and coats.
Shen Zhuoyi strolled around and didn't find any particularly nice clothes, but he bought a whole bunch of accessories, including thermal underwear, socks, hats, and gloves.
He sent out these first, but still wouldn't give up, he went to the top floor for another round.
In an inconspicuous corner, I found a thick woolen military coat. It was moderately warm but had a super stylish design.
He took one look at the military uniform coat and immediately liked it.
The second son's eye for business had also been honed by Jiang Ruzhen; he believed these goods would definitely sell well.
"Boss, how much are these coats for wholesale?"
The boss glanced at the second son's outfit and hesitantly gave a number. "Forty?"
"Forty?" the second brother exclaimed in surprise. He had originally thought that such a coat would cost at least a hundred or two hundred yuan.
The shop owner chuckled twice and offered to lower the price, "How about you give me 35 yuan apiece?"
"How many pieces do you have?" the second brother asked calmly.
"Sigh! The factory made more than a thousand orders, but the customer said that the material is not warm enough in the north and too hot in the south, so it is not easy to sell. They insisted on breaking the contract and not taking the order."
"If I want them all, just give me the cost price." The second brother was delighted as he touched the woolen fabric in his hand.
This is high-quality material; it doesn't sell well elsewhere, but it sells very well in this city!
"I can't go any lower, it doesn't even cover the cost price." The shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly, but then asked again, unwilling to give up, "Are you really taking them all?"
His clothes have been hanging here for a week. If they don't sell soon, his small factory will lose a lot of working capital.
"Give me thirty yuan a piece, I'll buy them all," the second brother said decisively.
The boss wanted to negotiate a little longer, but the second son turned around and left. He learned this trick from his mother. If the boss wanted to sell, he would definitely call him back before he had taken ten steps.
Sure enough, as soon as he took his third step, the boss couldn't wait to pull him back.
The second brother didn't waste any more time arguing with the boss. He led a few people to follow him to deliver the goods, exchanging money for goods on the spot.
After receiving the military overcoat worth tens of thousands of yuan, the second son can now watch without blinking or skipping a beat, all thanks to the excellent example set by Jiang Ruzhen.
Before the goods were even shipped out, the second brother secretly bought himself a new outfit.
He changed into a military overcoat, paired with a peaked cap, and wore a pair of sunglasses. He was 1.85 meters tall, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs.
His entrance was exactly like that of a warlord in a Republican-era novel, exuding charisma.
As he walked down the street, young women and wives alike secretly glanced at him. Shen Zhuoyi stroked his chin and chuckled.
Being too handsome can also be a burden.
All the goods have been purchased. He spent nearly 100,000 yuan on this purchase!
Whether it can be sold or not is unknown, but he spent every last penny of the money his mother sent him.
I was originally thinking of going to that dance hall I went to last time to have some fun, but I only have a little over a hundred yuan left in my pocket, so I'll just find a hotel to sleep in for the night and go home early tomorrow.
"Help! Someone's stealing things..."
The second son was searching the streets for a hotel when he heard a woman calling for help not far away.
Before he could see clearly, he felt a dark shadow flash past him, and he instinctively stretched out his leg.
A young man in his twenties fell to the ground. The second brother reached out and snatched the bag from his hand, handing it to the older woman who had chased after him.
"Ma'am, is this your bag?"
"Yes, yes, thank you, young comrade. Soldiers are indeed quick!"
The older woman saw that Shen Zhuoyi was wearing a military green uniform coat and assumed he was a soldier.
Before Shen Zhuoyi could explain, the old lady and some of the surrounding villagers praised him in unison.
Shen Zhuoyi scratched his head, feeling quite embarrassed by the praise.
"Hey! The person ran away."
Someone saw the little thief sneak up and run away. The second son wanted to chase after him, but the old lady quickly pulled him back.
"Young man, don't chase after them. Just get this back. They're all part of a gang. Don't let them corner you. It's always better to be careful."
Heeding the advice, Shen Zhuoyi said goodbye to the woman and continued looking for a hotel.
A little girl timidly approached and said, "Uncle, are you looking for a place to stay? My family runs a hotel. Do you want to stay here? It's only five yuan a night, very cheap."
The second son, Shen Zhuoyi, hesitated as he looked at the patches on the little girl's clothes.
Although he is not particularly wealthy, he doesn't want to stay in cheap, low-quality hotels.
Firstly, hygiene is not guaranteed, and secondly, there is a fear of danger while sleeping at night.
"Little sister, I have a place to stay, so I won't go to your place."
"Brother, please, go!" The little girl's tears fell in droves. "If I don't get any customers today, my mother will beat me to death."
The second son felt sorry for the little girl, hesitated for a moment, and then went with her.
But the little girl led him around and around until they reached a dark alley.
Suddenly, a dozen or so young men appeared and surrounded the second brother.
"You little brat, where do you hang out? Don't you know the rules of the underworld: you can't block someone else's path to making money?"
The second child was stunned for a moment, then looked back, only to find that the little girl had already disappeared without a trace.
If he still doesn't realize he's been scammed at this point, he's practically a complete idiot.
When the second brother saw that there was a petty thief he had just caught among the group of young people, he realized that he was still being targeted by these people.
What do you want to do?
"What are you doing? Getting you! Brothers, get him!"
At the command of the leader of the thugs, more than a dozen men rushed forward with sticks in hand.
The second brother had studied Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) with Lu Mingzheng for a while, so he was able to hold his own at first.
However, as his opponent continued to attack him in waves, his stamina was depleted, and he was hit more and more often.
pain!
It really hurts!
I don't know how many times I was hit on the back and arms, and I was also hit twice on the head with a blunt object, and blood was gushing out.
These kids don't know their own strength, and the second brother even suspected that if they kept beating him like this, he might die here today.
Just as he was about to fall to the ground and take the beating, and then seize the opportunity to break out, a stick came flying at the back of his head again.
He instinctively raised his arm to protect his head.
"stop!"
Just at this critical moment, a clear voice rang out.
With a "bang".
One of the thugs collapsed in front of the second brother.
