The man, looking disheveled and humiliated, stood at the door, slapped his suit jacket, and shouted angrily, "What's with the arrogance? Chasing people away? Let me tell you, next time you come to me, there won't be this price, and I won't be so accommodating. I'll give you some time to reflect on your actions!"
An hour later, the man stood in front of Zhao Yanran's desk. Zhao Yanran looked at him as he left empty-handed and asked in surprise, "What? They're not selling?"
"They were so arrogant. I was quick to run, otherwise I would have gotten beaten up. By the way, the machines in that factory were humming away. I took a look from outside, and they seemed pretty busy."
"How is that possible?" Zhao Yanran was stunned. If this batch of goods wasn't sold, it would cost several hundred yuan a day in refrigeration fees. Had they found someone to take over?
That's not very realistic. This is a shipment worth a million. There are very few people who can swallow such a large shipment in one go.
Cosmetics are a retail industry, and people usually buy in quantities of several thousand yuan, or even several hundred yuan, and then buy more when they're sold out. This left Zhao Yanran somewhat puzzled.
"Then I'll trouble you to make the trip. Let's wait a few more days and see." Zhao Yanran stood up, muttering to herself, "This shouldn't be happening, how could this be?"
Cartloads of lipsticks were being processed. The news about the capsized boat had been spreading like wildfire in the cosmetics market these past few days. With so many merchants, there was no shortage of resourceful people. Some had already started producing lipsticks that had been fished out of the sea, but nobody wanted them.
Several factories laughed at them, saying they'd take advantage of any loophole!
Lu Feng didn't cook in the morning. Instead, he went to the cosmetics market and wandered around all morning. At noon, he went to the factory and had lunch with Jiang Xiaoyan and Wei Yandan.
"How many more days until it's finished?" Lu Feng asked.
"It will take another three or four days!"
"Don't wait that long. Let's start working this afternoon. Hire some people and do a quick run," Lu Feng instructed.
"good!"
Jiang Xiaoyan only half understood what they were talking about yesterday, so today she wanted to see for herself what their plan was.
In the afternoon, Wei Yandan went to the cosmetics market and rented a temporary counter. The sign she put up read "Authentic Dior Lipstick Sticks, Goods Disposal After Cargo Ship Capsizes, Guaranteed Authentic!"
When this sign was put up, many people laughed. Another one trying to be clever.
"Don't waste your time, many people have done this before."
"That's right. I saw several wholesale stalls yesterday, claiming that they salvaged a container from the seabed."
“If you’re going to do it, do it properly. If I were selling it, I’d sprinkle some salt on it, at least it’ll taste like the sea.”
"Hahaha, you're even more talented, noticing such details."
The surrounding shopkeepers chatted and laughed, creating a harmonious atmosphere. As usual, Zhao Yanran moved between her stalls to check on the customers. When she passed by this road, she walked over and then suddenly stopped. She thought she saw Jiang Xiaoyan.
She took a few steps back and tilted her head to look. There was a sign that read "Authentic Dior Lipstick Stick." Jiang Xiaoyan was standing next to the sign chatting with two women.
Zhao Yanran stepped over and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, isn't this President Jiang? What a coincidence!"
Jiang Xiaoyan turned around and saw that it was Zhao Yanran. Her face turned cold, and she ignored her.
"Don't take it to heart. I didn't know it would turn out like this. I wanted to help you, but the client wouldn't budge, so I couldn't do anything. I was worried about you these past few days. I even found a supplier to come to you, but they kicked you out!" Zhao Yanran probed.
We'll sell them ourselves!
Wei Yandan was busy behind the counter when she saw Zhao Yanran approaching. She quickly came out, knowing that Jiang Xiaoyan was no match for this woman.
"You still have the nerve to come here? Aren't you afraid someone will slap your cheeks until they're swollen?" Wei Yandan said without any politeness.
When Zhao Yanran heard that they planned to sell their goods by taking advantage of the news of the merchant ship capsizing, she sneered and thought that these people were naive. Even if they could sell their goods, others would definitely swarm in, and their one million worth of goods would probably take until next year to sell.
Seeing this, Zhao Yanran was no longer worried. In another ten days or half a month, she would be able to get the goods for ten or twenty thousand yuan.
Just as I was about to leave, a young woman in her late twenties, dressed quite fashionably, walked over and asked Jiang Xiaoyan's counter, "Do you really have Dior lipstick sticks?"
“Yes, didn’t a merchant ship capsize a few days ago? Let me tell you, one of the containers was full of lipsticks, and they’re definitely genuine!” Wei Yandan pulled the girl toward the counter.
Someone at the counter across the street jeered, "Girl, keep your eyes wide open! If you can't find a shark in the lipstick, it's fake."
"How could there be sharks? That sea is full of squid!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Jiang Xiaoyan, Wei Yandan, and several sales clerks surrounded the girl, explaining the products and taking out lipsticks. The girl glanced at them and nodded, seemingly quite satisfied.
"Yes, it looks like an authentic product. It has import markings and a Dior logo. The cut is very precise."
Zhao Yanran leaned forward. She was very knowledgeable about lipsticks and could tell at a glance that this was the same batch of goods as before, but it had been processed again, marked, and the plastic wrapping was printed with a bunch of English words, and there were also imported English labels on the cut.
"What's the price per unit?" the girl asked.
"This is the latest autumn design. If you put it in the gold glitter case, the whole set would cost 99 at the counter. Of course, this is just a lipstick stick, and it's even been soaked in water, so it's only 10 yuan a stick!"
Ten yuan?
Are they robbing us?
The girl shook her head, saying it was too expensive!
