After the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Wahou Market began to become deserted.
At this time, vendors no longer purchase goods, and they are all preparing to stock up on goods for the New Year, so there are fewer customers coming to the market to purchase.
Some of the vendors in the market have already packed up and gone home, especially those in the industrial market.
The industrial products market is now almost deserted, with the exception of a few state-owned manufacturers that buy electrical appliances.
The rest of the people in the Wahou Comprehensive Market are also muddling through their days here, relying mainly on retail sales, where every penny earned is a penny earned.
Most of the people who come to the market during this period are retailers. People from Hongya County and some nearby counties and districts will come here to purchase New Year's goods.
At any rate, it is cheaper than buying it in the market outside. Even the retail here is much cheaper than the retail outside.
Today is the 13th day of the 12th lunar month. There are fewer and fewer merchants coming to wholesale, but more and more people coming to retail.
Zheng Song and Zang Yunli also bought some things for the New Year, of course, clothes, shoes, hats and the like.
Zheng Song carried a large bag of things on his shoulders and in his hands, including underwear, shoes, socks, and hats for his grandparents, father, mother, younger brothers, and sisters.
Buy it now while you have time, so you won’t be in a rush in a few days.
"Let's go to the electronics market. We haven't been there since the last time they delivered the learning machine. Let's see how many units they have sold?" Zang Yunli suggested.
After they released nearly 6,000 learning machines into the market on the 10th, they never came back. The main reason was that everyone had some messy things to do before the New Year. Besides, they had a new house to renovate, so they had no time to look at the market feedback.
"You're crazy! We're carrying so many things in our hands and going to the electronics market. Let's send these things to the security team first."
This was a reasonable suggestion, and Zang Yunli had no objection.
The two men delivered the New Year's goods they purchased to the security team's duty room before turning around and going to the electronics market.
Naturally, I came to the stall of Old Wu, who was the first one to receive the learning machine last time.
Unexpectedly, before Zheng Song asked about the sales of learning machines, Old Wu spoke first after seeing him.
"Send me twenty learning machines as soon as possible."
Zheng Song was a little dumbfounded. "What? Twenty units? Old Wu, there are still ten days before the market closes. Can you get twenty units?"
On the 25th day of the 12th lunar month, the Wahou Market closed and everyone went back home to celebrate the New Year.
This is a typical period when money is needed but no goods are given. Why does Old Wu still want to purchase goods?
"Stop talking nonsense and go back to get the goods for me."
Before Old Wu finished speaking, the stall owner next to him shouted, "Give me ten more."
When the stall owners nearby found out that Zheng Song and his wife had arrived, they quickly gathered around.
Seeing this, Zheng Song made a quick decision: "Yunli! Go to the parking lot right now and hire a car to go back and pick up the goods. I'll keep count here."
Zang Yunli was unhappy: "Why don't you go back and get the goods? I'll keep count here."
"Are you stupid? Don't you see these guys are lecherous? You're surrounded by them and they're going to take advantage of you."
The stall owners burst into laughter.
"Xiao Zheng, you are too protective of your food."
"It's not like grabbing a handful of rice and losing a handful. It's like what they say on TV, making a good connection!"
"Bah! Why don't you let your wife come out and make good friends?" Zheng Song counterattacked with a smile.
"My wife? Even ghosts would cry just looking at my wife. Who can I be friendly with? It's still your wife Shui Ling, hahahaha!"
Zang Yunli thought Zheng Song’s suggestion was very reasonable. These guys spoke without any scruples, so it would be wiser for her to go back and transport the goods.
"Then how much should we bring over?"
"Let's get 2,000 first. If it's not enough, we can talk later."
Zang Yunli squeezed out of the crowd and went to hire a car.
Zheng Song's worries were not without reason. Just as she squeezed out of the crowd, she felt someone touching her butt.
Men are really no good.
But she was in a hurry to go back and get the goods, so she didn't find out who did it.
Now, the advertisement about the Little Prodigy Learning Machine has been broadcast on the Beiliao Provincial Radio and Television Station.
People in other provinces may not know what a learning machine is, but people in Beiliao Province already know.
When the kids saw the ad, especially the two controllers, they knew at first glance that it was a good thing.
They may not know what a computer is used for, but at least many children in cities know what a controller is used for.
So, the smart kids asked their parents for it under the pretext of learning computer.
Many parents also think that this is something that can allow their children to get in touch with computers first. It is the end of the year, so it is a good choice to give it to children as a gift.
So, families with better financial conditions began to ask around where it could be bought.
As a result, learning machines suddenly became popular with just over ten days left before the Chinese New Year.
Wholesalers like Lao Wu hardly sold any learning machines in the first few days after they arrived. However, they have suddenly started to move in the past two days. Not just one or two but all the stores in the electronics market have shipped the machines.
Those who bought learning machines were not vendors, but mostly individuals who came to Wahou Market to purchase New Year's goods.
It is a well-known fact in the market that individual demand will drive the development of wholesale.
Old Wus who have been working in the market for many years immediately realized that this was a prelude to a product becoming popular. Although there might not be much demand before the New Year, this product will definitely be popular after the New Year.
So they started ordering goods, but not much, just like the first time, in quantities of ten or twenty units.
Even if there are ten or twenty machines in a family, it is enough to keep Zheng Song and his wife busy.
Zang Yunli hired a Jiefang 141 truck and six loaders at the parking lot, and rushed to the Huaguang Electronics Factory. She ran to the sales department to get a ticket for two thousand learning machines, and then hurried to the warehouse to load the goods.
"You guys are finally here again. The warehouse you almost finished last time is now almost full again."
The warehouse keeper said as he opened the warehouse door.
Huaguang Factory produces more than a thousand learning machines a day. It has been more than ten days since the 10th, so it is normal that the warehouse is full.
"I'll take you out for the next two days."
The truck was parked horizontally against the warehouse gate. There were six loaders, two on the truck and four at the bottom moving the loads towards the truck.
The four loaders below can carry ten learning machines at a time, and four people can carry forty machines at a time.
On average, one trip took less than one minute, and 2,000 learning machines were loaded onto the truck in more than 40 minutes.
When the car arrived in front of the Wahou Team Headquarters, Zang Yunli was surprised to find that the stall owners were already waiting in the open space between the machinery factory and the Wahou Team Headquarters.
This time, there was no need to even send them to the market; they could just come out and get them themselves.
