From Xiao Liuzi's words and actions, Lu Zhiye could also deduce his character. This person was probably afraid of hunger and poverty since childhood, so he cared a lot about money!
But he doesn't want to take advantage of others, and if something really happens, he's really willing to rush in!
This is the kind of person who is suitable to run a shop.
Don't be fooled by the seemingly peaceful interactions between small vendors in many places. Behind the scenes, a turbulent undercurrent is brewing. Whose interests are these people infringing upon? Of course, it's the interests of those who live off the government!
So there are plenty of people who don't want the clothing store to open!
This means that someone needs to keep an eye on the store at all times.
After Xiao Liuzi finished eating and drinking, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and chuckled, "Boss Lu, this state-run hotel is really expensive. I'll go to the front desk and ask for a blanket. I can just make a makeshift bed on the floor!"
He didn't have the nerve to think Lu Zhiye would book him a room, let alone dare to share a bed with such a big boss. The other man was clean from head to toe, while he still had some dirt on his neck. Xiao Liu couldn't help but feel a little inferior!
Lu Zhiye smiled and said, "No need. We originally planned to stay here for eight days, so we paid for eight days at once!"
Now that Tengchong has moved to Beijing, his house is vacant, so you can just move in there!
Let me tell you about our plans for tomorrow. First, we'll go to the garment factory to see if they've made the samples for our clothes.
Then you can take me to other clothing factories for reference, preferably those with a southern style!
Also, do you know of any collective warehouses like the ones Li Dazhuang and his group run?
"Someone more reliable would be better, so I don't have to go to each factory one by one!"
Lu Zhiye sighed inwardly, thinking that if Li Dazhuang and his group hadn't done these illegal things and had instead tried to set up a collective warehouse, it might have been a great way out!
Of course, many factories are unwilling to supply goods in advance, and they basically pay on delivery. As a result, second-hand dealers need to have a lot of working capital.
This is probably the main reason why Li Dazhuang and his team are unwilling to do this!
Xiao Liuzi pondered for a moment, then carefully looked around. Finding that no one was paying attention to them, he whispered, "I do know a place like this. Before the economic reforms, this group of people were all from the black market!"
Now that small vendors have emerged, they are at a disadvantage. Coupled with the crackdown, many of these black market operators have either fled or given up their illegal activities altogether!
However, some of the bolder ones, who had made some money on the black market before, were thinking of doing this line of work again!
So they took a risk and negotiated with several major factories to set up this collective warehouse!
What about the price?
The people in the black market are ruthless. They dislike trouble, and price is the main factor!
If the gap between him and the major factories is too big, he might as well go and try it himself!
"The price has increased by 10% above the factory's ex-factory price!"
For example, if a slightly more delicate hair accessory costs one cent at the factory, they will sell it for one cent and one fen.
Their boss said the main focus is on volume, and after working on it for more than half a year, things have been quite stable overall!
I heard their boss even wants to set up a warehouse company specifically for this purpose!
When Xiao Liuzi said this, he lowered his voice very much, as if afraid that others would hear him!
After all, this is considered extremely unofficial information!
If he hadn't known someone, he would never have known these things!
Lu Zhiye pondered, "No wonder people say that people from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai are the best at doing business!"
If a large warehouse company is indeed established, it is not impossible for it to export large quantities of goods abroad in the future!
Suddenly, a surge of excitement rose in Lu Zhiye's heart. Perhaps he could acquire a piece of land here and establish a large shopping mall like the electronics city!
In that time, all the major factories will be able to have a storefront, display their samples on the shelves, and whoever needs a particular product can simply have it supplied directly by the factory!
However, the commercial city here is not as simple as that in Shenzhen.
He directly deals with major manufacturers, and there are still many state-owned factories that are very ambitious!
Therefore, in the early stages, people are needed to guard the factory and also to expand its operations. Only when these state-owned factories see sufficient profits will they be able to ship in large quantities!
At this point, an even bolder idea sprouted in Lu Zhiye's mind.
His dark pupils were fixed on Xiao Liuzi, making Xiao Liuzi feel uneasy!
He scratched his head nervously and rubbed his hands together: "Mr. Lu, did I say something wrong?"
"Do you know these people? Can you take me to see their boss?"
As soon as Lu Zhiye finished speaking, Xiao Liu jumped three feet high in surprise!
In an instant, everyone in the tea restaurant turned their attention to Xiao Liu Zi. The intense gazes made Xiao Liu Zi lose his footing!
He didn't care about etiquette at this point and pulled Lu Zhiye out.
Only when they were alone did he say breathlessly, "Boss Lu, although those people haven't been dealt with yet, nobody knows what will happen next!"
We absolutely cannot get involved with them, or we'll all be wiped out together!
Xiao Liuzi keenly sensed that the black market would definitely be severely cracked down on within two years at most!
At that time, who would dare to mess with these people?
You could easily be labeled as operating a black market!
Lu Zhiye calmly broke free from Xiao Liuzi's hand. Good heavens, this kid looks small, but his hands are like eagle claws, gripping people so tightly.
Lu Zhiye felt that if he didn't break free, he would be skinned alive!
"I have my own plans for this matter. Could you help me make the connection?"
Anyway, you went to Beijing later on, so we won't be able to find you anyway. Don't worry, there are tall people to hold up the sky if it falls!
Lu Zhiye's words of comfort did not reassure Xiao Liuzi any more!
Instead, my calves were trembling with nervousness!
He was torn. If he really wanted to follow Boss Lu, then he would definitely have to help him with this matter!
Should I stay here and live as before, or go out and make a name for myself?
Xiao Liu was torn between his inner thoughts and his own, but finally, he closed his eyes and said with a look of grim determination, "Alright, it's getting dark now, I'll take you to see the factories nearby!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhiye raised an eyebrow: "They also have factories??"
"Well, it's just some old, discarded machinery I found at a scrap yard, and I just messed around with it!"
This is just to cover things up; it's good for the factory and for them!
Although the economy is now more open, factories still need proper letters of introduction and identification documents to ship goods abroad!
How could that group of people possibly manage to do so much at once?
They could only secretly produce some, setting up a small private factory and pretending that all the products came from their own factory!
