The rise of a small town in shoe country

Chapter 31

It turned out that Jin Yunfei and Yu Beiyang made an appointment to go to Luoqiao Town, Huangyan County tomorrow, and Yu Beiyang took him to inspect Luoqiao's small commodity market.

This is indeed a big event. Jin Yunfei wants to set up a shoe factory, not just to make a fuss, he wants to understand the outside world.

Jin Yunfei wanted to go home first, and set off from Hengfeng Street to Luoqiao tomorrow morning.

Yue Xiuqing also wanted to go home, and Yue Dongping and Ji Yuying didn't stop her. The son-in-law was ambitious and they supported her, so they had no choice but to watch their daughter and son-in-law leave wearing stars and wearing moons.

It was 10:30 when I got home, and I only slept for more than four hours. Jin Yunfei had to get up. Hengfeng Street is more than [-] miles away from Luoqiao, and I couldn't see the grand market when I went late.

But Yue Xiuqing also wanted to follow.

Jin Yunfei was afraid that she would be tired, so he persuaded her, "Xiuqing, the distance is tens of miles, and the round trip is seventy or eighty miles. Can you go there by bicycle?"

Yue Xiuqing chuckled: You ride a bike, I take a bike, can I go?
Jin Yunfei couldn't help it, so he had to say: Well, who told me that I have a wife.

The young couple was about to go out when the eldest sister Jin Xiaoling and the second brother Jin Yunxing also appeared and said they would go to Luoqiao to see.

Luoqiao is the economic center and commercial center of the entire Tianzhou area. Everyone wants to visit it. Now that there are bicycles, it is quite convenient to travel.

Jin Yunfei agreed, and he and his second brother each pushed a bicycle to go out.

It was only after three o'clock in the morning, and it was very dark. Jin Yunfei told his second brother, "Third brother, take your sister to the front. Let's take a small path, which can save ten miles of walking."

Jin Yunxing asked: Why did I go ahead?Brother, when we go out, you are always in front.

Jin Yunfei said: I'm afraid of falling on your sister-in-law.

Jin Yunxing sighed: Oh, you can forget about your younger siblings when you have a wife, brother, you are really good at it.

Yue Xiuqing and Jin Xiaoling snickered.

Riding a bicycle on a night road is still a dirt road two or three meters wide, which is really a technical job.

Jin Yunfei had a way, strapped a flashlight in front of the car, and he was good at driving, so he took Yue Xiuqing with him at ease.

The two brothers set off in the dark, pedaling and bickering all the way, but they didn't feel tired.

Luoqiao Town is the central part of the Wenhuang Plain, backed by mountains and facing the sea, with low mountains and hills interspersed with plains, criss-cross rivers and dense water networks.

The civilization history of Luoqiao can be traced back more than 5000 years ago, and rich cultural relics of the late Neolithic Age have been unearthed in the territory.

Luoqiao has a long tradition of doing business. With the convenience of the Nanguan River dug in the Five Dynasties, it gradually became an important commercial center. In the Song Dynasty, "merchants gathered and vehicles converged". , "There is no market without streets, no peddlers without alleys, no business without households", and has the reputation of "a city with hundreds of roads and thousands of bridges".

When they arrived at Luoqiao, it was just dawn, and the four of them ate steamed buns and porridge at a street stall, and then asked someone about a place called "Selling Zhiqiao".

Jin Yunfei and Yu Beiyang made an appointment in advance to meet at Maizhiqiao at eight o'clock.

Yu Beiyang arrived as promised. Seeing that Jin Yunfei was still with his wife and younger siblings, he smiled and said, "It's such a big battle, brother, you are a bad visitor."

Jin Yunfei also smiled and said: Brother Yu, you are right, this time I want to bring something back.

Leading the way with Yu Beiyang, a group of people walked through the streets and alleys and arrived at the Luoqiao Small Commodity Market.

Yu Beiyang said: Brother, this is the first small commodity market in the country. There are more than 1 small commodities here. You can find everything you wear, including shoes.

Jin Yunfei asked: That is to say, you also brought the shoes I sold to you to wholesale?
Yu Beiyang nodded and said: Yes, all the small commodities in this market are bought by traders like me, and then resold here.I myself have three booths here. Of course, there are also many manufacturers who sell their products here.Vendors who come here to buy small commodities come from both the province and other provinces. There are tens of thousands of people on market days, and thousands of people every day on weekdays.

While walking and chatting, everyone came to a place that sells shoes.

There are more than [-] stalls in the shoe selling area, with a dazzling array of shoes.

Jin Yunfei and his party went back and forth twice and returned to the original place.

Yu Beiyang asked: Brother, what do you think?
Jin Yunfei said: If you don’t look at it, you won’t know it, the market is so amazing.In a word, anyone's shoes are more high-end than my cloth shoes.

Yu Beiyang smiled: In this way, my goal has been achieved.

Jin Yunfei first stored the two bicycles at the shoe stall in Beiyang, then squatted down, took out his notebook and pen, and began to write.

Yu Beiyang came over to take a look, and praised: Good guy, you have a photographic memory.

After Jin Yunfei wrote it, he tore it off and handed it to his elder sister, and ordered: "You and your sister-in-law together, buy a pair of shoes according to the shoes I wrote."People don't necessarily retail, so you use Mandarin and pretend to be outsiders.

After Jin Xiaoling and Yue Xiuqing left, Jin Yunfei told his second younger brother Jin Yunxing: Yunxing, you have a lot of tricks, I'll give you a task.You go to the stand to see which shoes sell well and which shoes don't.Pay attention, be careful.

The second brother left in response.

Yu Beiyang gave Jin Yunfei a thumbs up: Brother, you really have a heart.

Jin Yunfei smiled and asked: Brother Yu, I have to trouble you to take me to the raw material market.

Yu Beiyang nodded, got up and left.

The raw material market is just across the street from the small commodity market, and the raw materials for making shoes are sold here.

After walking around the shoe material market, Jin Yunfei followed Yu Beiyang back to the place where the shoes were sold.

Jin Yunfei squatted on the ground and pondered.After a while, Jin Yunfei stood up and stretched himself.

Brother, do you understand?Yu Beiyang asked.

Come to think of it, it's spring and it's a great time to make summer shoes.

Yu Beiyang gave another thumbs up and praised: Brother is amazing.

Jin Yunfei smiled slightly: Brother Yu, can you help me find one or two shoe factories for me to visit.

Yu Beiyang said straightforwardly: No problem.There are two shoe factories in Luoqiao Town, and they are still producing sandals. They don't sell them on the street. I ordered from them last year.

Jin Yunfei then asked another question: Brother Yu, if I make sandals, can you sell them all?
cannot.Yu Beiyang shook his head and said with a smile: Don't worry, brother, I'm not that narrow-minded, nor do I have such a big appetite.To be honest, I think you are a good person, a person who wants to do great things and is capable of doing great things. I really want to make you my friend.

Brother Yu, I'm sorry, brother, I'm a bit of a villain.

Haha... Brother, you are right.When talking about business, you must first be a villain and then a gentleman.Shopping malls are like battlefields, and villains are right.

Jin Yunfei smiled and said: Yes, brother Yu taught me another trick.

Yu Beiyang put away his smile and said seriously: "Brother, your transformation this time may not be called earth-shaking, but it can also be said to be a start from scratch."I'll take you there now, you have to watch carefully.

After all, Yu Beiyang rode a bicycle and took Jin Yunfei to the "visit" location.

It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that Jin Yunfei and Yu Beiyang returned to the small commodity market.
