As she spoke, she muttered casually, "This was brought back from the south by my third son. He said it's the most fashionable style there right now."
The burly man glanced at it and couldn't help but exclaim, "What the old lady said is true! This watch is really nice; it's much better looking than the ones in the supply and marketing cooperative."
"Auntie, what price do you want? I'll take it if it's reasonable," the burly man asked casually.
“My third son said he spent 150 yuan and a watch receipt to buy this watch. Nephew, I don’t want the receipt. How much do you think you can give your aunt for this watch?”
The price Chen Shuning asked for was similar to the price set by the supply and marketing cooperative. Although her watches were also retro models from those old brand stores, the instruction manual indicated that they were actually new models released this year in the south, but they probably hadn't reached the north yet.
Chen Shuning chose this watch to gain an early advantage, and it is indeed a model released this year. When it arrives from the south, people will only think that she has a channel to obtain the new model, and they will not doubt the authenticity of the watch.
Sure enough, the burly man looked at Chen Shuning and said in a deep voice, "I'll give you 180 yuan for this watch. I don't have a receipt. If you like, I'll have someone get the money for you right away."
Hearing the price, Chen Shuning was overjoyed, but he still had a dissatisfied expression on his face: "No way, my son spent 150 yuan when he bought it, and he also got a watch voucher. Nephew, you are in charge of this market, so you should know how hard it is to get watch vouchers. I'm losing money at this price. No way, I can't sell it at this price."
As Chen Shuning spoke, she wrapped the watch back in her handkerchief, picked up her basket, and headed towards the black market. She had already paid two cents, and regardless of whether the watch was sold or not, she was going to go in and take a look, to see what was selling well in the black market, so she could prepare more for her next visit.
As for the watch, it's not absolutely necessary to sell it today. Hongqi Town is just too small. If she has the chance in the future, she'll have to go to a bigger place to look at it. If all else fails, she can always sell a large batch in Beijing when she goes home to visit her family.
