night.
Liu Yun: "Have you booked a sleeper berth for me? How many days will it take to get there from here?"
Yu Qianhe: "One day is fine, just over ten hours. But please be careful, okay? Things aren't important, people are the most important thing."
Liu Yun: "I know, I know, you've said it so many times. I've already said I'm just going to check out the fabrics. My sister and the others are really too busy. I can't just be idle! I have to help out, after all, I'm the one who gets the most money."
Yu Qianhe: "There are many garment factories and fabric factories in Guangzhou. Although you do need a lot of goods, for those big factories there, an order of less than 10,000 is just a drop in the ocean. Even if you take 10,000 or 20,000 worth of goods, they will only see you as an ordinary customer. They will not refuse to serve you, but it is impossible for them to treat you with any special care."
Liu Yun: "Is it really that exaggerated?"
She thought that an order of ten or twenty thousand yuan was already a huge amount in this day and age! She was still too naive.
Yu Qianhe: "Because many of those large factories earn foreign exchange by taking on foreign trade orders. So don't go to the top-ranked factories in the area, look for small and medium-sized factories, those factories that are not particularly large in scale, and don't go to those small factories either, as you are easily deceived."
Liu Yun: "Yes, I understand. I will definitely keep it in mind and in my head."
Yu Qianhe: "Also, your goods worth tens of thousands of yuan may not be delivered by other companies' truck fleets. If it's not cost-effective for your brother-in-law's truck fleet to make a round trip, then send it back. Don't bring it yourself, understand?"
Liu Yun: "Mmm."
Yu Qianhe: "You must let me know you're safe once you get there. You must call me twice a day, be back at your accommodation before 5 PM, and don't go out at night, understand?"
Liu Yun: "I understand, don't worry! I promise I won't miss a single thing."
Yu Qianhe: "Go to sleep early! You'll have a lot to do tomorrow."
The next day, after the two finished lunch, Yu Qianhe took Liu Yun to the train station.
The sleeper car was indeed better than the hard seat car. Although there was still a stuffy, strange smell, she could still bear it. She could just use the small orange peel cloth bag that Yu Qian had made for her.
The water was also prepared; it was mint and rock sugar water, served in a military water bottle.
He first found a spot for Liu Yun and put her things away, but still worried, he gave her a series of instructions, "Remember not to get distracted by the excitement and lose track of time. Watching is fine, but you can't join in, understand? Nothing is more important than your safety."
Liu Yun: "I know, I know, you've said it so many times. I even dreamed about it last night. You're practically turning into an old woman."
Yu Qianhe: "You heartless little thing, who am I doing all this for? By the way, the food cart's serving time is... don't forget to eat."
Liu Yun: "Alright, alright, the train's about to leave, you can get off now!"
Liu Yun didn't encounter anything strange along the way. Only a couple got on the bus. They seemed shrewd and were probably middlemen going to Guangzhou to buy goods. As for how she could tell, she said it was by intuition, probably because she had dealt with middlemen a lot in the past six months.
I boarded the train in the afternoon, and it was already the second day when I arrived in Guangzhou, and it was almost noon.
The train station in Guangzhou was very crowded, especially at this time of year when schools are starting.
She didn't have much in her backpack to begin with, so Yu Qian prepared two sets of clothes for her to change into and a few sets of underwear for her. He told her to go there and buy new clothes for the rest.
She put all her belongings into her storage space when the carriage was empty at the beginning.
The backpack I'm carrying is empty, and there's not much money in the small front pocket either; it's all just for cover when I need to take things out of the storage space.
She wasn't in a hurry to find a place to stay; she planned to explore the city, which was clearly much more bustling than Xiangshi.
She didn't plan to buy anything right away, since she was new to the place and didn't know anyone. She was also worried about being ripped off or discriminated against because she was a woman, so she had to test the waters first.
However, the most urgent thing right now is to find a place where I can make a phone call to let Yu Qian know I'm safe before I go and fill my stomach.
"Hey, Qianhe, I've arrived in Guangzhou safely."
Yu Qianhe: "Have you eaten?"
Liu Yun: "Not yet, I'll find a place to let you know I'm safe as soon as I get off the train."
Yu Qianhe: "Don't try to save money when staying in a hotel. Just go to the busiest and biggest place. It's safe there, you know?"
Liu Yun: "Okay."
Yu Qianhe: "Let's go eat first! Don't forget to let us know you're safe tonight."
Liu Yun: "Okay, I understand. I'll take good care of myself, so don't worry too much."
Why are you so worried about her going on a long trip? She's planning to travel more in the future! If he knew, he'd be worried sick.
After lunch, Liu Yun continued to stroll around. Compared to the Xinshi area, where there weren't many stalls and vendors, this place was already full of shops.
Moreover, you can see the current fashion trends on the street; the most popular style right now is probably these flared jeans.
Fashion really is a cycle. Now flared jeans are popular, then they're considered outdated, and then they're popular again.
Liu Yun quite likes these pants; they look really good on people with slender legs.
During this time, she also saw the terrifying way to bargain. She had heard of cutting prices in half before, but she was too afraid to do so, for fear of being scolded.
What she saw now was not just a reduction in the last digit, but a complete reduction to the last digit. A pair of pants that cost 28 yuan was sold for only 7 yuan.
Is this how everyone bargains now? What about someone like her who's not very good at bargaining?
I saw all sorts of bargaining methods along the way, and they basically cut the price down to single digits. That's really amazing.
