Jiang Shushu bought goods worth RMB for the first time. There were six styles, one each of low, medium and high-end men's and women's watches. Except for the high-end men's watch which cost RMB 85, each style of other watches cost RMB 200, for a total of 1,085 watches.
Because Jiang Shushu ordered a large quantity, which was a large order, the price of each watch was two yuan cheaper than buying from outside, which greatly saved costs.
Jiang Shushu placed the watches on her custom-made 0.65 square meter cabinet, stacking them layer by layer until she had 960 watches. She tucked the cabinet away into a small space, then packed the remaining 125 watches into her suitcase and left City G.
Jiang Shushu had no intention of going to cities near the coastal cities because there was not much of a market there. Instead, he chose a city that was particularly far away from the coastal cities. He took a two-day train ride to City W.
Jiang Shushu didn't plan to set up a stall and sell them one by one. Although the price was high, it would be too time-consuming and not cost-effective. Jiang Shushu wanted to collect funds quickly, not to work hard to earn a few melons and two dates from setting up a stall.
Jiang Shushu first spent half a day exploring the area, gaining a general understanding of W City. Then, he spent 60 yuan to hire five people to gather information. In just one day, Jiang Shushu not only surveyed the market but also found five reputable and influential vendors. He wrote five letters and had his hired men deliver them to the five influential vendors, inviting them to meet at a private dining room in a state-owned restaurant.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (I won't make up their names; they were all just passing through, so I'll just use numbers instead) were all surprised when they first received Jiang Shushu's letter. But after opening it, their eyes lit up, because it represented an opportunity to make a fortune. Plus, the place Jiang Shushu had agreed to meet them was a place they frequented, so the five of them had no worries and decided to go see Jiang Shushu, fearing they would miss their chance to make a fortune.
The five people arrived at the state-owned hotel at the agreed time, and then they met. Because they had business contacts, they knew each other. After asking and answering each other, they found that they had received exactly the same letter.
Old 2: "I'll have to take a closer look later to see who's so arrogant as to call all five of us here." Which of us five isn't a millionaire? Which of us isn't financially strong? How many watches could this guy possibly have? Why call all five of us here?
Lao Wu smiled and said, "We'll know if we go and take a look. Maybe he is a big customer from other places." He called five people at once, so there must be a lot of goods. Maybe he can make a lot of money.
The five of them arrived at the private room. Old 2 wanted to push the door open, but Old 5 stopped him. "Old 2, we should be polite to guests who have come from far away. We shouldn't let others think that people from W City are vulgar, okay?"
Old 2: "..." Old 5, you bastard, what are you pretending to be with me? Last time, in order to compete with me for the supply, you, a grown man, even resorted to shrew scolding, acting like you only care about money and not your life.
After adjusting his clothes and hairstyle, Lao Wu made sure that his appearance was fine. With a smile on his face, he knocked on the door very politely.
Seeing Old 5 act like this, the other four people who knew him well twitched their lips. "..." This shameless guy, whenever he meets an outsider, he pretends to be so cultured and sophisticated.
Old Five glanced at the four men's reactions without even giving them a second glance: "Hmph, I'm just letting the enemy down, understand? Harmony brings wealth, understand? Otherwise, why do you think my combined assets are equal to the combined assets of the two of you? Give me two more years, and the four of you combined won't be able to match me."
Jiang Shushu opened the door and said with a smile, "Please come in, the five of you. I feel very honored that you can come. Come in and take a seat."
The five people: "..." I didn't expect it to be a woman. A woman is fine, but she's also a beautiful woman. Could this be the Hongmen Feast? We have to be careful.
Old 5 was the first to come back to his senses. He walked into the box, looked at Jiang Shushu and asked, "Did you write this letter to us?"
"Yes, my last name is Jiang, Jiang as in Sheep and a Girl. You can just call me Xiao Jiang. You are all regular customers of the state-owned restaurant. I ordered the dishes you usually like based on the waiter's recommendation. This is my menu. Do you want to add anything else?" Jiang Shushu handed his menu to Lao Wu.
Lao 5 took a look at the menu. There were six dishes and one soup, all of which were the dishes that the five of them liked and could eat. Lao 5 immediately became interested in Jiang Shushu, because Lao 5 felt that Jiang Shushu was a kindred spirit like him - a smart person who was suitable for doing business. Lao 5 liked dealing with smart people, which saved time, effort and brainpower.
"Thank you Comrade Jiang for your hospitality. I know them well. There's no need to add more dishes. These are enough. Comrade Jiang has put so much thought into it." He is definitely a talent as he can arrange even a meal so thoughtfully.
"Of course you are. You are already giving me face by coming here. I must make sure you eat and drink well." If I want to make money from you, I have to put in some effort, right? My parents are the ones who provide me with food and clothing. I have to show my filial piety.
Old 2: "..." This woman's tone is so familiar. Isn't this the same trick Old 5 uses to trick strangers?
After everyone was seated, Jiang Shushu spoke, "The food will take another ten minutes. I know your time is precious, so I won't beat around the bush. Let's get down to business."
Old 5: "We are all very interested in what Comrade Jiang said in his letter and would like to hear more about it."
"I have a batch of watches, and the prices are divided into three levels: low, medium, and high. There are six styles in total, three for men and three for women. I brought the styles with me. You can take a look and see if you are interested?" Jiang Shushu said as he took out six watches from his bag.
These six watches were carefully selected by Jiang Shushu, and both the color and appearance were first-rate. The five people fell in love with them immediately after seeing them, because they were extremely sure that as long as they could get the goods, they would definitely make a lot of money. The five people were already thinking frantically about sales and then pocketing a lot of money.
Old 2, "Comrade Jiang, what is the price of each model? How many do you have on hand?" As long as the price is right, I will use all the liquid funds I have to buy watches. As long as I can complete this deal, I will definitely have a prosperous year.
Jiang Shushu doubled the purchase price and said, "These two men's and women's watches are affordable models, 36, these two men's and women's watches are above average, 52, and these two men's and women's watches are high-end. This women's watch is 80, and this men's watch is 110. Except for this high-end men's watch, which only has 85 pieces, there are 200 pieces of each of the other models." It depends on whether you five are willing to buy them.
