The volume this time was large, and the traditional retail method would take too long and be riskier, requiring more frequent blackmail. Jiang Dashi and He Chuan discussed the matter and decided to sell some of the items directly to dealers in batches, who would then resell them.
He Chuan and Jiang Dashi disguised themselves before each pushing a bicycle and riding towards Heilongjiang. Jiang Dashi had done so many business ventures and had a sharp eye, so he immediately found the dealer who could take over these goods.
"Will you accept the bicycle and watch?" Jiang Dashi asked in a low voice.
The dealer, wearing a navy blue cotton-padded jacket that was also wrapped tightly around his waist, only revealing his eyes, rubbed his hands excitedly and asked hurriedly, "Buy it! How much is it? What's the price?"
"There are only two bicycles, brand new Phoenix bicycles. There are five watches, Shanghai brand steel watches. The bicycle costs 210 yuan each, and the watch costs 160 yuan each." He Chuan continued, then took out a watch and handed it over.
The visitor looked at the watch over and over, exclaiming, "What a wonderful thing! I didn't expect you could even make this." Made entirely of steel and fitted with a leather strap, it was a symbol of quality. How many people today are proud to own one of these three-turn, one-ring watches?
The dealer saw that the prices He Chuan and Jiang Dashi offered for the bicycles and watches were not low, but they were just the highest they could afford. If they offered any higher, it would dilute their profits, so he might not take them. This showed that these two must be experts, and the best in the business.
"Okay, I'll take them all, but you have to wait for me. Your goods are large, and I don't have that much money." said the trader.
"Okay, but we'll only wait half an hour. If it's longer than that, we won't wait any longer." He Chuan's eyes shot a sharp light towards the man, and the warning was clear.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I understand." The man was shocked by He Chuan's momentum and said awkwardly. He didn't want to play any tricks, he really just went back to get the money, and the man felt a little wronged.
He Chuan and Jiang Dashi sat astride their bicycles, paying attention to the movements around them at all times. If they saw anything wrong, they would immediately ride their bicycles to catch up.
Fortunately, within half an hour, the trader who came ahead came back, followed by another person.
He Chuan and Jiang Dashi stared nervously at the person coming from behind, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.
The dealer in front of him quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, you are here to pick up the goods for me. I can't ride back by myself with your two bicycles." The man explained.
Then the man handed over a cloth bag and said, "Count it, 1,220 yuan per acre." This was a big order, and the man had to go back and collect some money to make up the difference.
There were no large-denomination bills here, basically only ten-yuan notes, 1220 yuan, and not all of them were ten-yuan notes. There were also five-yuan notes and half-yuan notes. It took more than ten minutes to count the money before I could check it clearly.
"That's right." After confirming that everything was correct, He Chuan handed the car and the five watches to the man, then he and Jiang Dashi quickly ran into another alley and disappeared into the darkness.
On the first and third days, He Chuan and Jiang Dashi used the same method to sell the remaining goods to different dealers, and they were almost completely sold out. They only had one bicycle left. He Chuan didn't want to sell it, but planned to take it back for Su Tao to use, so she wouldn't have to constantly borrow Zhang Jidong's bicycle. It would also make it easier for her to get to town.
He Chuan and Jiang Dashi sat in their rented apartment, calculating their earnings. Ten Shanghai watches, four bicycles (five per lot, one for themselves), three sewing machines, and an electric iron brought in a total of 3,370 yuan. After deducting their initial investment of 2,660 yuan, they made a profit of 710 yuan per lot. The two men divided the profits based on their contributions. He Chuan invested more, but he kept one bicycle for himself. After deducting expenses, the two split the profits equally, each making a net profit of just over 3,000 yuan.
He Chuan and Jiang Dashi both took a breath. This was just a one-time income. No wonder so many people took the risk to become profiteers.
