Seeing that it was getting late, almost four o'clock, she quickly went to find a hotel. She didn't dare to go to any small, out-of-the-way ones, so she went straight to the biggest one in the city center. Anyway, she wasn't short of money. Yu Qianhe was right, safety was the most important thing.
Yu Qian had already prepared a letter of introduction for her to ensure her safety while staying there. In fact, many small hotels in the area don't check these things at all.
Once you find the room, change the sheets and blankets to the ones provided in the room; it will be cleaner that way.
By the time I finished all that, it was almost five o'clock. I quickly went downstairs to let Yu Qian know I was safe. The hotel had a telephone installed, so I didn't need to go out.
"Hey, Qianhe, I've found a place to stay. It's in the city center, the biggest hotel."
...
...
Phone calls are so expensive these days! Just a short while and it costs over ten yuan. No wonder the receptionist kept staring at her! She probably didn't expect her to be making such pointless phone calls!
But she still has a lot to see, since she'll be staying for a while! She'll receive a phone call every morning and evening from now on.
Over the next few days, Liu Yun didn't buy anything else, but she did buy quite a few fruit trees and saplings.
For example, longan, lychee, mango, and pineapple, although they all exist in the same space, are different varieties.
She bought citrus fruits, wampee, pomegranate, papaya, lemon, grapefruit, orange, papaya, star fruit, and even jackfruit and durian.
These past few days have also taught her how to bargain. Since she only buys fruit seedlings, and only a few of each, everyone assumed she lived locally and didn't ask for prices as drastically as people in other places. Although they didn't dare to cut the price to the last digit, they could still get it down to a third. However, since they weren't asking for too much, she wasn't ripped off much even after cutting the price to that extent.
Liu Yun had originally planned to go out and talk to the factories. Although she hadn't gone to talk business with those factories in the past few days, she had still inquired about them and had a general idea of the prices.
Before she could even start any business discussions, an unexpected surprise came knocking: the lady at the hotel reception.
Speaking of which, the older woman had been working the day shift lately, so she was constantly being fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection). Although she didn't know what "dog food" meant, she just felt that the two of them were being incredibly affectionate.
However, the two gradually became familiar with each other after spending these few days together.
"Girl! What are you doing here? Why are you always on the phone with your man, all lovey-dovey? If he's worried about you, he can just finish up and go home sooner."
Liu Yun: "Big sister, I want to too! But I haven't found a way yet."
Tell me what you think, and see if I can help.
Liu Yun: "I'm planning to negotiate a batch of fabric. I just opened a small factory over there, and I wanted to come here to look at the fabrics and see if we could have a long-term partnership."
"I know this place well! My family just got involved with a high-level position at a fabric factory. What kind of fabric do you need, and how much? If it's suitable, I can introduce you to some people!"
Liu Yun: "That's great! I won't lie to you, our factory is a small one that just opened not long ago, and we don't need much fabric, just about ten thousand yuan at a time."
"Sure! I'll go back tonight and ask for you, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow."
Liu Yun: "That's wonderful, thank you, sister."
"It's alright." After all, she wasn't helping for nothing. Her brother's factory was a joint venture funded by her family. Although it had only been less than a year, the factory, while not large, wasn't small either. Ten thousand yuan was a decent order. If it went through, her family would definitely reward her handsomely.
"Do you just want fabric? Do you want to see anything else? Do you want clothing?" Her in-laws own a clothing factory, which isn't very big but is still quite good.
Liu Yun: "That's great! Can we go see it together then?"
"sure."
Liu Yun: "Do you know where I can get my hands on that watch? My friend wants it."
"It's not impossible, but how much do you want? Too little might not work. Usually, the starting price is one hundred."
Liu Yun: "So many? How much does it cost?"
This was something she hadn't expected. Watches start at 100 yuan, and a single watch can cost anywhere from 100 to 300 yuan. If you don't need a watch voucher, the price can be even higher, but the wholesale price probably isn't cheap either. A watch costing over 100 yuan would cost close to 10,000 yuan. If she bought a watch, she wouldn't be able to buy anything else.
"Hey girl, since you've got so much stuff, if you want a hundred watches, I can get you a watch for thirty dollars."
The wholesale price of watches ranges from ten to forty yuan, and some even cost only a few yuan. If she could get a hundred yuan worth, she could make a considerable profit.
When Liu Yun heard that it was only thirty yuan a piece, she was almost stunned. She didn't expect it to be so cheap.
But she also knew that this older sister could definitely make a lot more money in the process.
Liu Yun: "Sister, I won't lie to you, if you can get the watches down to twenty yuan a piece, I'll just take the two hundred and fifty pieces."
"really?"
Liu Yun: "Really?"
"Okay, let's talk in detail after we see the fabric and clothes tomorrow."
Liu Yun: "Okay."
