Chapter 175 Ambitious

Hang Jingshu hung up the phone happily.

This phone call was very valuable. Not only was Wang Silan's safety in Guangdong City guaranteed, but the road beyond the toy factory was also wider.

Wang Silan was still anxiously waiting for news from her daughter. Seeing her approaching with a smile on her face, Wang Silan rushed over and asked, "Ni, why are you taking so long?"

Hang Jingshu helped Wang Silan carry her luggage: "Mom, I have arranged everything. Someone will pick you up when you get there."

Wang Silan was slightly startled: "You came here early in the morning just to arrange these things?"

Of course not only that, Hang Jingshu was in a good mood and bought tea leaf eggs and egg pancakes from the intersection: "Of course not, when you come back, I will find a very good partner for our factory."

Guangdong city is close to Shenzhen, and since the reform and opening up, the speed of its innovation and transformation has been very fast.

Commercial properties are emerging in Shenzhen, and land prices in Guangdong are rising rapidly.

In later generations, when people mention xx village in Guangdong, everyone will exclaim.

Rich people!

The landlord's room is not counted as one room, but as a building!

The whole building belongs to one person!

How does it feel to own a building?

Maybe it's the feeling of lying down with peace of mind.

Hang Jingshu felt that if she had a few buildings in her hands, she would be able to relax.

Have morning tea and play chess every day. No matter how exquisite the clothes are, they can’t beat flip-flops!

This kind of free-spirited, fearless temperament is what we want.

cooperate?

Wang Silan was even more confused: "How can anyone be willing to cooperate with us when we haven't even started yet?"

Isn't this your daughter's face scan?

Time was running out, and whenever Hang Jingshu wanted to say more, he would quickly send Wang Silan onto the train.

Even though Mr. Wang is making a lot of money now, he still has to sit in a hard seat on the train.

Since we have no one in our house, we need to have a good butt.

Hang Jingshu gave Liu Kangyuan his school phone number, and received the message after school in the afternoon.

"Xiao Hang, don't worry. I have arranged for Aunt Lan to be safe there."

After hearing what Liu Kangyuan said, Hang Jingshu also felt relieved: "Sister Xiaoyuan, thank you so much."

Liu Kangyuan didn't care: "It's just a small favor. If you are willing to pay, they will naturally treat Auntie Lan as their boss!"

When she went to Guangdong, even if Wang Silan dressed modestly, she could still be seen as not a local.

The Cantonese accent is difficult to learn and it is also very chaotic at night. With a bodyguard, at least Hang Jingshu can sleep well.

It was so easy to make money in the 1980s and 1990s that anyone could make a class leap by just using their brains.

Guangdong not only has a large clothing wholesale sales market, but also has other scattered small factories.

In just a few years from the reform and opening up to the present, clothes made in Guangdong have gradually gained recognition from the general public.

Haicheng goods used to be the only ones that were popular, but now Yuecheng clothes are emerging as a new force!

Compared with the booming clothing industry, the toy factory that Wang Silan needed to visit seemed much quieter.

Transformers really became popular in 1988, when a Transformer cost 99 yuan.

At that time, Guangdong City Products' Transformers were officially launched in August 1999, which immediately triggered a buying spree.

Hang Jingshu still remembers that there were so many people rushing to buy Transformers that the counter was even broken!

Starscream, Astro Boy, and the Four Drivers have become the idols of many people born in the 1980s.

There is no way, there are so many things you can buy with 99 yuan!

This time, Wang Silan not only came to see the toy production line, she also remembered her ladyship's instructions to get the authorization from Hasbro!

When Wang Silan arrived, she found that the Chouzhou she had been to was incomparable to this place.

Chouzhou is full of small commodities, ranging from needles, threads and buttons to all kinds of clothing and accessories. The main focus is on a variety of products, which makes people dazzled.

As soon as she got off the train, Wang Silan felt the bustling atmosphere here.

In the crowd, Wang Silan saw a conspicuous sign.

Two tall and strong men and a woman who looked tough were waiting with cards in hand.

Compared to the anxiety of the people around them, the three people seemed particularly calm and composed.

It seemed as if a barrier had formed around the three of them. No matter how noisy the people around them were, they all avoided these three people.

It's too conspicuous, I can't even pretend not to see it.

Mr. Wang nervously clutched his bag. These people are here to protect him, right?

Why does it look so much like a money grab?

People came and went, only Wang Silan stood there looking at the three people, and they also saw Wang Silan at once.

"Hello Mr. Wang, I'm Kuang Jiao, this is Zhuo Sen and Zhuo Lin."

Although Wang Silan was a little panicked, she looked very calm: "Thank you for your help."

Kuang Jiao smiled, revealing her big white teeth: "With Sister Yuan here, Boss Wang, you don't have to worry!"

Wang Silan was stunned by the unique Cantonese accent, but she couldn't show her shyness, so she simply nodded and said "hmm".

Kuang Jiao blinked and exchanged glances with the two people behind her.

The boss is very profound.

Actually, the boss didn’t understand.

As you can tell from their names, Zhuo Lin and Zhuo Sen are brothers. They grew up in a martial arts school. Don’t look down on them, they are actually real martial artists.

There are basically no big guys practicing martial arts in China like those in foreign countries. Most of them are of medium height, with well-proportioned and tight muscles.

He may look insignificant, but he can actually beat someone without blinking an eye.

This low-key spirit is what we want.

Guangdong was getting hotter in May. Wang Silan followed the advice of a lady and wore a simple dress without any jewelry except sunglasses.

Mr. Wang and Kuang Jiao walked in front, followed by two Mus. They marched all the way out of the train station without any obstruction.

The development of Guangdong today can be described as rapid.

Cars, which are rare in Fengcheng, are everywhere here. You can hail a taxi by just stretching your hand on the roadside, and there are a dazzling array of hotels.

There are fewer random street stalls now. The management of wholesale markets has become increasingly strict in the past two years. Finally, we don’t have to squeeze in with the crowds while worrying about the money in our bags.

Kwong Kwong is a typical Cantonese girl.

Her skin was a healthy wheat color, with high brow bones, wide double eyelids, and she smiled enthusiastically, pulling Wang Silan along as she introduced herself.

"Mr. Wang, we have a lot of wholesale clothes here, you can pick some when you have time." Kuang Jiao's family owns a martial arts school, but she also set up a stall to adapt to the times.

The wholesale price from clothing factories is extremely low, and you can make many times the money by reselling them, so no one will give up the money.

Don’t underestimate the money made by street vendors. In fact, the ones who make the most money are the various clothing factories.

The next to make money behind the garment factories are various material factories, and finally the farmers who grow cotton and raise silkworms.

That's how the biological chain works.

Kuang Jiao had her own car and drove Wang Silan through the wholesale area.

After the bustling wholesale area, there are clothing factories with large and small bags of goods piled up everywhere and people queuing up to receive goods. Further back, we come to a relatively quiet factory area.

Facing Kuang Jiao's enthusiasm, Wang Silan naturally would not refuse: "Okay! Then we can all get some new ones!"

The boss was very generous, and the smile on Kuang Jiao's face became more genuine.

Although they were entrusted by someone else and Wang Silan paid them, protection from the heart and protection done in an impartial manner are two completely different things.

Sometimes, some unintentional little care would make Wang Silan's life in Guangdong more comfortable.

When she arrived at the toy factory, Wang Silan was a little disappointed.

It's just a small factory. The workers all have their heads down and their eyes drooped. They don't seem to have any enthusiasm at all, and the smell is very pungent.

This was slightly different from what she had imagined.

Kuang Jiao had a way of judging people and immediately understood Wang Silan’s disappointment.

"There are only a few kinds of toys nowadays, but there are quite a few foreign goods. It all depends on how much you want, Boss Wang."

Once upon a time, there was something called "parallel imports", which had a different meaning from what it means today.

The parallel imports in Guangdong refer to the smuggled goods that have been discovered. These goods will not be sealed up, but will be circulated in the market in another way.

From large appliances to small watches and pocket watch toys, as long as you want it, you can find a way to get it.

If Wang Silan wanted that kind of stuff, Kuang Jiao could find it for her.

Not only are parallel-market products cheaper, but watches from Guangdong were also very popular for a period of time.

No matter what it is, as long as it is at the source, it must be cheap.

Anyone who can find the way is not a small-time guy and can easily accumulate tens of millions of assets.

As time goes by, some people go against the wind, while others are naturally knocked down by the wind and waves.

Now that Hong Kong's return to China is getting closer, the situation in Guangdong is becoming increasingly tense.

Watches are expensive in mainland China, but here they are sold in bulk and can be resold for 15-20 yuan per piece.

There are also various so-called "low-price goods" that have no cost and you can make a profit by selling them.

As for when the situation becomes tense later, we’ll talk about it then!

In the 1980s and 1990s, making a fortune depended entirely on conscience, and there were many bosses who laundered their earnings.

Wang Silan is still very "white" at the moment, and she doesn't plan to make a lot of money overnight.

As my daughter said, taking things slow and steady step by step is the truth.

The boss of the toy factory, named Yang, wore a suit and had a slicked-back hair. He said to Wang Silan, "These machines are second-hand now. You can't make much money from them. If you want to buy them wholesale, I can give you a family price."

These toys were placed together in a mess. Wang Silan had seen them and found that there were quite a lot of styles, but they always had a crude and shoddy feel.

There are the most cloth toys, all colorfully mixed together, while plastic and wooden toys are the simplest in appearance.

There are also metal toys and porcelain toys.

Boss Yang said that there are hundreds of toy factories, but they all use hand-operated plastic machines to produce.

As for what Wang Silan was talking about, the production line.

I've never heard of it.

Boss Yang is also a shrewd man. It can be said that there are no fools among those who can do business in Guangdong.

Looking at Wang Silan's demeanor, you can tell that she is definitely not short of money.

When dealing with customers, you should be polite.

The main thing is that they sell the products right after they are made, and there are really no bosses who come to learn from them and set up production lines.

They are all second-hand goods. What experience can you share?

Boss Yang didn't know that in 1986, the toy factory would undergo earth-shaking changes.

In the early 1990s, being a Katie became one of the most coveted jobs.

"Kaida girls" is a general term for female workers in toy factories, whose monthly salary can range from 100 to 150 yuan.

From time to time, you can also buy cheap refrigerators, color TVs and other electrical appliances.

Kaida was the earliest wholly foreign-owned toy company in Shenzhen in the 1980s.

He was also a participant in the later xx system.

After the millennium, 75% of the world's toys were made in China. It took only a few decades for China to go from being technologically backward to being technologically advanced.

Wang Silan was not in a hurry even though she returned home disappointed on the first day.

After returning to the hotel, I called my daughter to let her know I was safe.

Hang Jingshu finally felt relieved when he heard Wang Silan's voice.

Regarding her mother's worries, she directly comforted her: "Mom, don't worry. If there is no one in Yuecheng, go to Shenzhen next door. Treat them to morning tea tomorrow and enjoy a different life."

Mr. Wang disagreed: "It's okay to invite people to have morning tea. I have another stall at home. Let's talk about it next time when we go to Shenzhen."

At this point, Wang Silan’s mind was no longer on the toy production line.

There are so many good things here!

There is no need to pan for gold, there is gold everywhere!

The price of fruits is shockingly low, and Mr. Wang relies on fruits for dinner.

It's really too hot, okay!

I can't get used to the cold tea here.

During the day, Kuang Jiao bought a bowl for Mr. Wang. The taste was so delicious that it made people grimace.

The person is nice, the clothes are nice, but Mr. Wang is very anxious.

She is worried about the family business.

Now she just wanted to do some shopping and get home quickly.

Too much time was wasted on the road.

In fact, there is a faster way, which is to take a plane.

But Fengcheng doesn’t have an airport, so you have to fly to Beijing and then take a bus back.

This time Wang Silan finally understood why the big boss is now either in Beijing or Haicheng.

Transportation is inconvenient in small places!

While you are hanging around on the road, other people have already signed the contract. How can you make money?

Time is money, this sentence gradually highlights its true value.

After hearing what Wang Silan said, Hang Jingshu also understood her thoughts: "Mom, then let's go during my summer vacation."

These matters still have to be handled by Gu Zhengguo.

It is true that Kuang Jiao's family runs a martial arts school, but there is only one way for her to lead Wang Silan to Fengcheng!

Drill through the air!

Without anyone, how can I get a pass?

Here, having money alone is not enough, you also need connections!

Hearing what her daughter said, Wang Silan felt relieved: "Okay, I'll treat Miss Kuang and the others to breakfast tomorrow!"

The morning tea culture in Cantonese has a long history. Although Wang Silan didn't understand the story behind eating chicken feet so early in the morning, she followed the local customs.

Don’t say hey, ordering a pot and eating slowly with a few people is also a kind of enjoyment.

Compared to the bustling wholesale market that starts to get busy early in the morning, this place is as peaceful as a utopia.

The trip was not to be in vain, so Wang Silan started shopping the next day.

The electronic watches that were piled up for sale had to be bought down, and a lot of new and interesting things like small toys were also bought, all of which looked like they were not available in Chouzhou.

What Mr. Wang picks out the most is clothes.

It’s strange to buy clothes right now. The real summer hasn’t even arrived yet, but the sale mode has already begun.

The items hanging in the store are now long-sleeved shirts and various knitted sweaters!

This is what the ladies say, super season!
