This time, He Chuan and Jiang Dashi were still driving in Shanghai. The route was familiar and the journey was smooth. They arrived at the delivery location, Shanghai Yelian Factory, in one day less than last time.
"Brother Chuan? Are we going to buy goods from Xu Huzi again this time?" Jiang Dashi asked.
He Chuan sat on a wooden stool, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table unconsciously as he pondered, "This time, let's not look for Xu Huzi. I always feel that it's too risky to keep asking one person for goods. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Didn't you say last time that there's another contact named Yu? Let's go to him this time. We have plenty of time this time, so we can compare the quality and price of the goods. If there's a chance, we can also explore some other dealers to see if they have other goods or lower prices."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Brother Chuan. You've thought about it more." Jiang Dashi had no objection.
"Also, I've summarized our last resale. Our sales method is too rigid. Why do we have to ship the goods back to Yun County (where Su Tao and his team are) to resell them? We pass through so many places along the way, so we can stop temporarily and find local trading places to sell the goods along the way. This can also reduce our risks and expand our sales channels. Moreover, if the economies of some of the towns we pass through are well developed and their purchasing power is strong, we can purchase more lightweight and high-value items to sell, such as watches, cameras, etc. These are small in size, easy to carry and easy to keep, and the high prices mean we can earn a greater profit margin." He Chuan looked at Jiang Dashi and said slowly.
Jiang Dashi was stunned. He could be said to have introduced He Chuan to the business of reselling goods. He hadn't expected that he would see so many problems and summarize so many experiences in just one trip. Jiang Dashi was not stupid. A stupid person would never be able to make a living in this business. He quickly understood what He Chuan meant. He Chuan's business talent was amazing, and his keen sense of the market was surprisingly high.
These theories sound simple when spoken by others, but many people have tried them for a long time and still cannot figure out the problem. He Chuan realized it at once and realized that he was truly gifted.
Jiang Dashi was an old hand and quickly found Yu Ye's location. The two explained their purpose and Yu Kong also displayed his goods. He Chuan and Jiang Dashi were both surprised. Although the manufacturers of the goods were different, the quality was no worse than that of Xu Huzi. What's more, the price was much cheaper than there.
A watch costs 110 yuan, a bicycle costs 150 yuan, a sewing machine costs 140 yuan, an electric iron costs 120 yuan, and a 360-yuan camera costs 100 yuan.
He Chuan and Jiang Dashi had more capital this time than last time, each bringing 1,700 taels, for a total of nearly 3,400 taels. Since Yu Kong's goods were cheaper than last time, He Chuan had more money this time, so they ordered 21 watches and three cameras to test the waters. Among the watches this time was a women's watch, so He Chuan specifically bought an extra one to give to Su Tao.
This time they were buying some expensive small items, as they were still frightened by the last robbery.
This time, I bought some small items that could fit in a small box or cloth bag, making them easy to store and carry. Furthermore, during the previous resale, He Chuan discovered that rare items like watches were actually quite popular; scarcity makes things valuable. On the other hand, bicycles, while valuable, are readily available and not considered scarce, so the demand for them was less intense.
The camera I bought this time was the most expensive, costing nearly four hundred dollars. It was a Seagull brand, small and exquisite. Many photo studios didn't have one. The last time He Chuan and Su Tao had their pictures taken, they were still using those old-fashioned, big-bottomed, high-legged cameras. I believed that if I could find the right buyer, not only would it be easy to sell, but I could also fetch a good price.
Yu Kong didn't expect He Chuan to want so much. He didn't have that much goods in his house. He couldn't put all the goods in this house. If he was checked, he would suffer a great loss.
"It's okay. The day after tomorrow at 5 am, we'll check the goods on the spot and settle the payment." He Chuan agreed on the delivery location just like last time and took the goods back directly.
"Okay, no problem. Don't worry, I, Yu Kong, will take care of it." Yu Kong assured him with his chest pumped. This could be a big client, which is equivalent to several months of business opening for him.
After leaving the alley, Jiang Dashi asked, "Brother Chuan, there aren't many things, why do we have to come to get them the day after tomorrow?" It seemed like he meant to pick them up tomorrow and leave immediately.
"No rush. After all, we are unfamiliar with the place. I plan to take advantage of tomorrow to visit the black market in Shanghai and see what other dealers are selling. And I also have to go to other places to find something for Su Tao. The day after tomorrow is just the right time to pick up the goods, so we can rest for these two days." He Chuan said slowly.
