There was more than a month from January 1, 1981 to the first day of the Lunar New Year on February 5, 1981.
Local people are packing up and starting to stay indoors for the winter and New Year, and people from other places are also preparing to go home for the New Year.
Fang Hongqiu is one of those who are preparing to go home for the New Year.
The three brothers agreed to go home for the New Year after clearing out the goods they had, and come back after spending the fifteenth day of the first lunar month at home.
Wan Feng and Zhang Xian arrived in Bohai on the 3rd.
In addition to purchasing goods, he also had another mission in Bohai this time, which was to find a trial sales point for clothing in Bohai.
In 1981, Bohai had a market with a population of 1.2 million, which was a market that could not be given up.
Although it is not yet the city famous for clothing that it will be in ten years, its demand for clothing is huge now.
There is a folk proverb in Bohai: The belly is made of cornmeal and the pants are made of material.
This indirectly reflects the Bohai people's attention to clothing.
Wan Feng was confident that his clothing business could become a sensation in Bohai City. Of course, he couldn't just stay here and sell clothing, so he needed an agent like Xin Li.
The scale of production of garment factories during the Spring Festival cannot be absorbed by Hongya County, so it is necessary to find new economic growth points.
The agent he chose was Zhang Guangdong's wife. After all, the Zhang family was the only family he was familiar with and reliable in Bohai.
Zhang Guangdong's wife is a housewife. Apart from doing housework, she also goes to the sea to sell some seafood for a little money.
Winter is not the season for sea fishing, so it is a good time to sell clothes and other things.
Wan Feng brought more than twenty clothing samples, including jackets, pants and ski jackets of various styles.
Zhang Guangdong's wife took a liking to the novel styles of clothes brought by Wan Feng at first sight, and her joy was beyond words.
Wan Feng explained to her in detail the reserve price and the price at which the property should be sold.
Although Wan Feng told her the selling price, how high a price she could sell it for was not within Wan Feng's control.
They agreed that if a certain style sold well, she would write to him and tell him that Wan Feng should bring the goods with him if he came again.
Anyway, letters from Bohai to Hongya arrive in two or three days, so there is still time to write a letter.
Only after finishing this matter did he go to see Fang Hongqiu.
At this time, Fang Hongqiu was in a hurry to sell off his goods. He still had more than 3,000 watches and some miscellaneous things in his hands. If he didn't sell them off, he would have to carry them back.
There weren't many miscellaneous items, but the bulk of them were electronic watches. He had just sent a shipment back from the south half a month ago, and apart from the two thousand that Wan Feng took away, he had barely touched any of them.
"I can't eat. I don't have that much money."
After understanding Fang Hongqiu's meaning, Wan Feng gave Fang Hongqiu a cold shoulder.
Fang Hongqiu has a 3,500 yuan electronic watch in his hand. According to the original price, it would cost more than 24,000 yuan.
Fang Hongqiu's biggest trader right now is Wan Feng, the only one who can handle thousands of pieces at a time. If he can't handle it all, how long will it take to get the goods from the other counties and cities who can give him 100 today and 50 tomorrow? He might have to spend the New Year in Bohai.
"Or you can leave the goods here and I will pay you when you come back after the New Year." Wan Feng said insidiously.
"That won't do. I want to take this money back with me. One is for the New Year and the other is to purchase goods." Fang Hongqiu denied it directly.
In fact, he was worried that Wan Feng would swallow his goods without paying, although considering his relationship with Zhang Guangdong, this possibility was very small.
But even if the possibility is very small, it doesn't mean that there is no possibility. He doesn't dare to take the risk even if there is a slight possibility.
"Then there's nothing we can do. Either you carry it back or you stay here for the New Year."
It was impossible to carry him back, and it was not possible for him to stay here for the New Year. He had not been back home for the New Year for two or three years. His wife wrote to him and told him that she would divorce him if he did not go back for the New Year this year.
The time is also clearly stipulated. If you don’t go back before the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month, you don’t have to go back.
Although he had a mistress outside, he didn't dare abandon his wife at home. Divorce was a very serious matter at that time.
He has to go back this year.
It would take at least four or five days to get back to Dongguan Province by train from here, and that's assuming the journey goes very smoothly. If something goes wrong, it might take more than ten days to get home.
The twelfth lunar month will begin in two days. How can he not be anxious!
"How much money do you have on you?" Fang Hongqiu asked through gritted teeth.
"What?"
Fang Hongqiu thought for a moment and decided that this question seemed inappropriate, so he asked another question: "How much goods do you want to take this time?"
"Five hundred." Wan Feng directly cut his number down to five-sixths. If he didn't take advantage of it at this time, he would be a fool.
"Five hundred! Last time you took two thousand and you only want five hundred this time? You have a very bad conscience." Fang Hongqiu said dissatisfiedly. This kid was going to bargain.
"Brother, don't beat around the bush with me. Tell me, how much do you want to sell these things for? Don't try to be clever with your southerners. Just tell me the truth."
"The digital watch cost six dollars, and I sold it with tears in my eyes."
Wan Feng curled his lips and said, "Let's not talk nonsense, okay? I know how much your watch cost from the south. So, I can't let you lose it. I'll take the five yuan. Two hundred thousand yuan and everything else you have."
"Ah! Five dollars! That's impossible!"
"Brother, you've made a lot of money from me these past few months. You don't need to worry about this one. You didn't lose money, so it's okay to break even. If you want to make more money, there's still next year. Don't worry, I'll pay you back the original price next year. I'll keep all the goods you have now for 20,000 yuan. I don't want a penny more."
"Damn it, you little bastard, be careful that you might give birth to a child without sperm in the future. It's my bad luck. I'll give you all the goods worth 20,000 yuan." Fang Hongqiu's face looked as ugly as Zhu Bajie.
"You can't blame me for this. It's your own fault for not being smart enough to reveal everything right from the start. If you were in this situation, you wouldn't be much better than me."
In fact, Fang Hongqiu didn't say it at the beginning, and Wan Feng was not prepared to give him the original price. After several dealings, he knew that Fang Hongqiu must go back this year.
How could he return without selling the goods? Would he leave them at his mistress's house? Who knows who would own the mistress by the time he returned.
After counting the goods, Wan Feng realized why Fang Hongqiu was so unsightly. Apart from the 3,500 electronic watches, even the tape recorder accessories, tape recorder lighters, key chains and so on were worth far more than 2,500 yuan.
If this guy wasn't in a hurry to go back, he wouldn't have given up even if these guys pointed a knife at him.
Wan Feng took out twenty bundles of money from the lining of his thick cotton coat.
The denominations of money are too small nowadays, so it is really inconvenient to carry tens of thousands of dollars with you.
After Fang Hongqiu counted the money, Wan Feng and Zhang Xian carried the goods out of Fang Hongqiu's residence.
Fang Hongqiu is now eager to return home.
