The next day, before dawn, Zhang Guodong and Zhao Xiaohai went to a black market together.
It is called a black market, but in fact it is openly opened outside a village.
The market is located on a narrow dirt road for agricultural machinery outside the village, occupying a large open space on the side of the road.
There are many handcarts and animal-drawn carts parked on both sides of the dirt road, and some wealthy people use tractors, with various goods placed on the truck beds. It is a typical rural market.
The sounds of people shouting and horses neighing on the road, coupled with the donkey dung left everywhere by the animals, created a lively rural scene.
Zhao Xiaohai and Zhang Guodong acted separately according to their agreement.
Walking past each stall, Zhao Xiaohai carefully looked at the smuggled goods, thinking about which one he should buy first.
There are many cloth sellers, some specialize in selling Dacron, some specialize in selling polyester serge, and some specialize in selling polyester knitwear and wool.
The products mainly come from Hong Kong, Japan, and even Taiwan Province. They are not only of good quality but also come in many colors and patterns, and are cheap. If we bring them back to Greentown, they will definitely be snapped up by customers.
Zhao Xiaohai ruled it out without hesitation. First, it was bulky and difficult to transport. His space limit was only five 24-inch suitcases, and the money he earned from selling the cloth wouldn't cover the cost of renting the space.
Cloth is a bulk commodity, and small-scale operations will not make money.
Of course, the biggest problem is that Zhao Xiaohai does not want to enter this track. Everyone knows that a big brother, Song Liugen, will appear in Greentown in the future and not only dominate the Greentown fabric market.
He also brought hundreds of his followers, armed with guns and knives, and conquered the country's largest Wenzhou cloth market by force, beating the local gangs in Wenzhou and making them cry out in pain, creating a bloody scene.
If you do cloth business, you will definitely run into Song Liugen head-on. Although you are not afraid of him, after a fight, you will definitely be treated as a gangster and be dealt with together.
Zhao Xiaohai doesn't want to be shot. There are so many opportunities and ways to make money, why should he make things difficult for himself?
Going further, you will find the home appliance area.
Most of these televisions are Japanese brands, and some are second-hand goods discarded by Japan.
The mainstream television in China now is black and white television, with a small number of color televisions.
Zhao Xiaohai asked casually, and the price could only be described as expensive.
I don’t even have the money to buy two, so I’m not considering it.
There are also shops that specialize in selling tape recorders, with dual card slots, single card slots, dual-speaker recorders, and four-speaker recorders. They also sell various tapes. The most common tapes are from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and they are all pirated tapes.
Now the book is small, not considered for the time being.
There are cigarettes for sale, Marlboro is displayed openly, there are flue-cured tobacco, blended tobacco, cigars, and even high-quality imitation Huazi.
Zhao Xiaohai tried smoking a high-quality imitation Huazi cigarette, and the taste was almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
"We hired a retired master from a cigarette factory. The raw materials and flavors we use are exactly the same as those from the original factory, and the price is cheaper. Boss, buy some that you find useful first and then order more." The owner of the cigarette stall greeted Zhao Xiaohai warmly.
Then buy two.
Buy two for work.
I am not considering large quantities as I don’t have the ability to participate in this business now.
Zhao Xiaohai put two packs of cigarettes into his bag and continued looking forward.
There are vendors selling bicycles, nylon mosquito nets, electric fans, cameras, and all kinds of goods are available, which is really a dazzling sight.
Finally found the product I need at this stage.
There are also many stalls selling watches, including electronic watches, quartz watches, Japanese mechanical watches, and even Swiss watches.
Zhao Xiaohai walked around the watch stalls, stopped and asked about the prices from time to time. While understanding the market situation, he was thinking about how to buy some goods to sell well.
Excluding the return fare, his remaining capital was only 1,500 yuan.
I can't spend it all at once, I need to save some money to rent a yard and for half a year's living expenses.
The only money I can use is five or six hundred yuan.
You must choose products that are low in price, have very high profits, and are small and easy to carry.
The Greentown market is not open yet, so if I buy too much, it will be piled up in my hands.
When doing business, you cannot be greedy, but must be steady. Only when the business is stable will money come in.
Finally, Zhao Xiaohai decided to buy some electronic watches and open up the market.
"Hello, boss, how much is this electronic watch?"
"Which one do you want? There are five-hour digital watches and ten-hour digital watches."
"What are the prices?"
"A five-hour electronic watch made in Hong Kong costs 8 dollars, and a ten-hour electronic watch made in Japan costs 12 dollars."
"12 yuan is too expensive, can it be cheaper?"
"My watch is of good quality. If you want a cheaper one, you can buy a five-hour electronic watch for eight yuan." The watch stall owner said as he picked up an electronic watch that looked a bit rough.
"I want the good ones. Good ones should be cheaper. I'll come back to you for more in the future."
"How much?"
"A five-hour watch and a ten-hour watch, each for thirty dollars."
"Then I'll give you a discount. The ten-meter one is 11 yuan per piece, and the five-meter one is 7.5 yuan per piece."
"10 yuan, I'm buying so much at once, so I have to make it cheaper."
"10 yuan is 10 yuan, and I'll give you a box so it's easier to carry."
The owner of the watch stall showed Zhao Xiaohai the packaged electronic watch, which was packed in a cardboard box and was indeed easy to fit into the space.
After some bargaining, I finally bought a total of 60 electronic watches at the agreed price.
Zhao Xiaohai calculated that if the packaging size of this type of electronic watch is used to store it, a 24-inch space can probably hold about 1,000 electronic watches.
The owner of the watch stall saw that Zhao Xiaohai was in a daze, and quickly installed the electronic watch from under the stall.
