Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it was the summer of 1979.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Yun Yan decided to go to the department store and buy a fan with the industrial tickets she had saved over the past year.
When Yun Yan arrived at the department store, she found out that starting this year, some household appliances in Guangzhou had stopped requiring industrial tickets and could be bought with just money.
Fans and radios are both within the scope of industrial ticket cancellation, so Yun Yan immediately decided to buy two fans!
After returning home with the fan, Yun Yan thought of a way to make money. Now that major cities like Jing, Hai, and Guang were gradually canceling industrial tickets, could she buy some electrical appliances that didn't require industrial tickets and bring them to Jing County to sell?
In this way, you can earn the difference and the profit will be considerable!
Yunyan did what she said and bought ten fans and five radios in the department store!
She was afraid of arousing suspicion so she didn't dare to buy too much, so she could only buy these for the time being.
Summer vacation soon arrived, and Yunyan went to the street office to get a letter of introduction under the pretext of traveling.
After getting the letter of introduction, she went to the train station and bought a train ticket to Hai City.
After arriving in Hai City, Yun Yan first checked into a guesthouse and then started to wander around. It had been a few years since I last visited Hai City, and the changes it had undergone were truly remarkable.
Hai City has become very developed now, much more prosperous than Guang City. For example, when Yun Yan came to the mall, she saw many new styles of things.
Leather shoes, watches, silk scarves, hats, and fabrics with nice styles and colors are not available in Guangzhou.
Maybe there are, but I guess they will be snapped up as soon as they are put on the shelves. By the time Yunyan has time to go shopping in the department store, they will have been sold out.
If we can bring it to Jing County to sell, it will definitely be a hot seller!
The most important things are leather shoes, watches, silk scarves and hats, which can now be purchased in Haishi without tickets.
Of course Yunyan would not miss such an opportunity and started to buy a lot. When a salesperson asked Yunyan why she bought so much, she said she bought it as a gift for relatives and friends.
In the end, Yunyan bought ten pairs of leather shoes, five pairs each for men and women, thirty silk scarves, ten hats, five men's watches and three women's watches.
All these things together really cost her a lot of money. After all, just these men's and women's watches alone cost more than 800 yuan, almost 900 yuan.
And those ten pairs of leather shoes also cost over five hundred yuan. So, all told, I spent nearly seventeen hundred yuan at the department store today.
A watch costs 110 yuan, but if you take such a watch back to the county and sell it on the black market, you can easily sell it for 180 yuan each, which means a profit of 70 yuan per sale. Is it easy to make money?
And there are leather shoes. She bought them for fifty-five yuan a pair. It would be easy to sell them for a hundred yuan later!
These things are all brand new, the latest model of Shanghai watches, matched with Shanghai leather shoes. They are very fashionable and will make you look proud when you wear them. Otherwise, people won’t want them if they don’t match them.
Seeing that she had almost finished shopping, Yun Yan left the department store carrying bags of things. After returning to the guesthouse, she put all the things she bought today into the space.
The next day, Yun Yan went to the department store. She had asked yesterday and learned that fans and radios in Hai City did not require industrial tickets, so she decided to buy a few more.
In the end, Yunyan bought five fans and three radios. After buying the fans and radios, she also bought some Haishi specialties. These were intended to be gifts for the aunties in the neighborhood committee. It wouldn't hurt to build good relationships with them!
Two days later, Yunyan boarded a train to Southern Province. This time, she also bought some college entrance examination review materials for Xinyi, as she would be taking the college entrance examination next year.
I also brought some stationery for Hu Zi and the others as a token of my appreciation.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived in Jing County. Yun Yan first found a guesthouse to stay in.
After a quick wash, she took out a portion of pickled fish and a bowl of rice from the space and started eating.
The next morning she went to the black market. She didn't know whether Li Chunsheng was still in charge of the black market.
When Yun Yan entered the black market, she found that there were more people buying and selling things, and they were no longer hiding like before.
She inquired and found out that the black market was still managed by Li Chunsheng, but she didn't plan to look for Li Chunsheng. It was just a small amount, she could sell it on the black market herself!
Putting down the backpack, she took out two watches, two pairs of leather shoes, a silk scarf and a hat, and placed them all in front of her.
"Come and have a look at the latest watches, leather shoes, silk scarves and hats from Hai City. The quantities are limited, if you miss them, they will be gone!" Yun Yan began to shout.
After a while, someone came over and asked, "Did you really get this watch and leather shoes from Haishi?"
"Don't worry, this is definitely the latest model in Haishi! If you don't believe me, just look, the production address is printed on the watch box and the shoe box." Yun Yan picked up a box and showed it to her.
The woman looked at them and asked, "How much are these watches and shoes?"
"The watch is two hundred yuan without a ticket, and the leather shoes are one hundred yuan!" Yun Yan said.
"This is too expensive, give me a discount!" The woman began to bargain.
"Beauty, look, these things of mine are all from Hai City. Have you seen them in the county? You should understand the principle of you get what you pay for." Yun Yan started to pull with her.
"Give me a better price so I can buy an extra watch," said the woman.
"Well, since you are my first customer, the watch will be one hundred and ninety-five yuan, and the leather shoes will be ninety-five yuan. This is the lowest price, it can't be any lower!" Yun Yan said.
In the end, the woman bought a women's watch, a men's watch, and a pair of leather shoes. She also bought a scarf and a hat when she saw them. As she was collecting the money, Yunyan asked her, "Do you want a fan and a radio?"
"You still have an electric fan and a radio?" the woman asked in disbelief.
"Of course, electric fans and radios don't require tickets, and they all come from Guang City and Hai City." Yun Yan said.
Finally, the woman ordered an electric fan and a radio. After agreeing on the price, Yun Yan asked her for her address and agreed to deliver the goods in the afternoon.
After the woman left, a few more customers came in, but they were all buying scarves and straw hats. Seeing that it was almost time, Yun Yan packed up her things and left the black market.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Yun Yan came to her house according to the address given by the woman, carrying an electric fan and a radio.
"Are these the electric fans and radios from Hai City?" the woman asked after leading Yun Yan in.
"Yes, you can open it and take a look. They are definitely brand new and latest models!" Yun Yan said.
The woman opened the outer packaging, looked around, and after making sure that there was no problem, she gave the money to Yunyan.
Just as Yunyan was about to leave after taking the money, the woman stopped her and asked, "How many watches, shoes, electric fans, and radios do you have left that you haven't sold?"
