Chapter 231 Looking for Wang Shuang
This time, Hua Xia did nothing but threw away more than 20 million. Even if his money came from the sea, he couldn't afford to spend it this way.
Huh? His money really comes from the sea, no wonder he spends it without any regrets.
There was another reason why Xiao Peng rejected Fabian's request: he had more important things to do when he returned to France this time.
After a night's rest, Xiao Peng woke up early in the morning and asked Walter and Clementine to drive behind him to Marseille.
Even though Chen Zetao called him and wanted to meet him, Xiao Peng rejected him without hesitation. Chen Zetao's business was not as important as his own!
"Xiao! My friend!" Daniel greeted Xiao Peng enthusiastically when he saw him coming. "It's been so long since I last saw you. I thought you'd forgotten me! How's that diving suit?"
Daniel helped Xiao Peng purchase the Exosuit, and the two haven't met since then.
"It works great!" Xiao Peng gave a thumbs up. "It works really well! I recently went back to China, so I haven't been here yet."
Daniel grinned and said, "Actually, I know. I've seen your diving live broadcast. Even though you're wearing a mask, I can recognize it as you at first glance!"
"Then you're asking unnecessary questions, just to show off your diving suit?" Xiao Peng took out a cigarette and handed it to Daniel: "How's business lately?"
Daniel took the cigarette and grinned, "What? Are you going to take care of my business again?"
Xiao Peng spread his hands: "Please, I'm so poor."
Daniel pointed in the direction of the parking lot and said, "You have the nerve to say you're poor when you can drive a Rolls-Royce?"
"You have such a sharp eye!" Xiao Peng lit Daniel's cigarette but didn't light one for himself.
Daniel asked curiously, "Xiao, what are you doing in Marseille? Aren't you going to bask in the sun at La Ciotat?"
Xiao Peng pointed to the nearby hypermarket and said, "Come here to do some shopping! You don't know, after I went back, many people asked me to help them bring things from here, all kinds of cosmetics, bags, watches, red wine, etc."
He is now facing the same problem that all Chinese people who go abroad will face: please bring me some XXX.
Many Chinese people carry large and small bags back home every time they go abroad, just like the "international traders" of thirty or forty years ago.
However, the "international traders" at that time carried Chinese products out and sold them abroad, while the "international traders" now bring foreign products back to China.
Daniel blinked. “That’s not a good deal, is it?”
Xiao Peng nodded. "Who says it's not? It's not cost-effective after factoring in logistics costs, tariffs, and so on, but at least you can buy the genuine product, right? This isn't Dubai, so it's definitely the place of origin."
Everyone knows that French luxury goods are famous, while China is famous for its counterfeit luxury goods!
After all, the profit here is really too high. No matter what brand or style of bag, the cost in China is less than 150 yuan, but it can be sold for a few thousand yuan.
The Chinese people's 'Sharingan' is really amazing! No matter what new luxury goods, they can be reproduced in China.
Why is it said to be 'approximately' the same?
The reason is a bit funny: the ones with good quality are fakes from China, and the ones with poor quality are the real ones.
There was a true story: a Chinese girl bought a Chanel dress and the color faded after washing it. She went to customer service to complain but was told: We never consider washing our products. We just throw them away if they get dirty.
After this incident was reported, netizens said: Poverty has limited my imagination, luxury goods are indeed luxury goods, blah blah.
But this kind of thing probably only happens in China. While luxury goods in the Eurozone aren't cheap compared to other products, they're also affordable. What girl doesn't have a few international brands? If the quality were truly that poor, it would have already led to consumer complaints.
It has to be said that the Chinese marketers of these so-called "luxury brands" understand the psychology of the Chinese people very well: they don't seek the best, but the most expensive!
Even though the luxury goods sold to China are of the lowest quality and the highest price in the world, for example, the linings of several bags sold by GUCCI in China are actually made of paper...
However, China is still the world's largest luxury goods sales market.
In comparison, counterfeit goods are more conscientious. Good counterfeit goods are definitely the representative of "fake but not inferior" and their quality is much better than the genuine goods.
There is a very interesting situation now: Chinese people are busy buying luxury goods when they go abroad and bring them back, while foreigners are busy buying counterfeit luxury goods when they go to China and bring them back.
The most amazing thing is that Chinese counterfeit luxury goods have begun to embark on the path of "export to domestic sales".
Last year, Chinese police cracked a major counterfeit goods case. They busted a ring manufacturing counterfeit luxury goods in China. Their investigation was shocking: the gang had set up a foreign trade company to accept orders for counterfeit goods from abroad, then resold them to Dubai through logistics companies. They also had over 200 physical distributors abroad who specialized in selling these counterfeit goods, even selling them back to their countries of origin. The total amount involved was over 1 billion yuan!
Many of them were sold to Chinese people traveling abroad.
This is really funny. You travel thousands of miles abroad to buy a luxury bag, but when you take a look, hey: it’s fake!
But even so, the wealthy Chinese still flock to luxury goods. So Xiao Peng has now become a member of the "international trader".
Of course, he wasn't doing this for money; he was simply helping a friend.
He brought Clementine here this time just to have her help him with the shopping. And he had something serious to discuss with Daniel.
"Daniel, where is Wang Shuang? Why can't I see him?" Xiao Peng glanced at Daniel's diving shop and didn't see the girl named Wang Shuang who was with Miao Pei.
Daniel spread his hands and said, "You abandoned me and left!"
"Leaving?" Xiao Peng was stunned: "Aren't you already talking about marriage?"
Daniel's eyes widened after hearing this. "Marry? With her? Are you crazy? Xiao! Hey, even if she's your compatriot, let me ask you this: would you marry a girl with such a clear purpose?"
Xiao Peng blinked after hearing this: "If it's the most beautiful woman in the world, I would really consider it."
Daniel smiled after hearing Xiao Peng's answer.
Another meaning of Xiao Peng's words is: No.
"So you can't blame me, right? We just got what we wanted." Daniel said, "Why? You're looking for her?"
Xiao Peng didn't deny it. "I was planning to look for her for something, but since I can't find her, forget it. I just came back from China and there's no way I'm going back for her. Oh, do you have her phone number? I can call her and ask."
Daniel spread his hands and said, "I really can't help you with this. I don't have her phone number. But I can tell you one thing: she hasn't returned to China yet. She should still be in Marseille."
"Ah?" Xiao Peng was stunned: "She didn't return to China?"
"Of course!" Daniel said. "About two months ago, she got together with some punks she met at David Beach. I'd never met those punks before, but the most common thing in Marseille is new faces."
