Chapter 603: Southern Goods Transferred to the North
Ma Tou took Fu Jingyou around in twists and turns.

Seeing Fu Jingyou stopped on the overpass and looked at the street, Ma Tou turned around and shouted:

"Hurry up, if you're any later all the good sellers will be gone!"

Fu Jingyou withdrew his gaze, picked up his things and followed him.

The stall is near the train station.

It's just another ten minutes' walk after crossing the overpass.

When Fu Jingyou was halfway there, he heard noisy sounds of yo-ho and various bargaining voices.

"Comrade, please give me a discount. I will come back next time!"

"It's not cheaper, it's not cheaper... If you want to buy 30 or 50 pieces, I can give you a discount. For these 35 pieces, I'll give you this price on credit... Take a look, if you want it, take it. If not, go to someone else's store."

"Well, this... OK, give me five."

A long row of three-story buildings comes into view, like an enlarged version of the department store in northern Beijing.

There is a small shop with door curtains outside the first floor, as well as a peddler dressed similarly to Ma Tou, selling loose goods in snakeskin bags.

"Don't just look outside, there's more inside."

Fu Jingyou turned his eyes and nodded, his eyes were a little overwhelmed.

Walking along the road, you can see everything for sale.

Such as stationery, toys, pots and pans, as well as bundles of various fabrics, sweaters, shoes and socks, cotton thread, etc.

As the New Year approaches, there are many people selling New Year pictures, red lanterns and red candles.

“Are these all available for pick up?”

"No, it's not that blatant."

Ma Tou waved his hand, approached him, pointed at some shops and said:

"Look at that one, and that one... The ones with red ropes or red ribbons tied around their door knockers or on the shelves at the entrance mean they can sell in bulk. This is jargon in the industry, and I don't tell ordinary people about it."

Fu Jingyou laughed and nodded, then patted his shoulder with gratitude.

Ma Tou is essentially an honest guy.

I just got five dollars, and there is another reward from the Great Unity behind it, so the total is more than ten dollars, which is not a small amount of money.

If you take money, you have to do practical things for people.

Ma Tou has done his best to guide Fu Jingyou.

He racked his brains along the way and told Fu Jingyou everything he had figured out over the past six months:

"There are a lot of things here. If you're not sure what business you want to start, just look around and make a decision... Since you're just starting out, small items are definitely safer. Although you won't make much money, you won't lose money either."

"The stall owners here supply goods. Generally, they can give discounts on small items over 50 pieces. For large items like pants and ready-made clothes, they can get discounts or even get a small amount for 15 or 20 pieces."

"When you see something you like, you must be polite when talking to people. Only when you have a good relationship with them can you have a smooth journey."

"Ah."

Fu Jingyou nodded.

When I was in my hometown, Nanhu Town, I had been to the black market many times.

He is still clear about some general "rules" in business.

The buildings of this era are generally different from the skyscrapers of the future.

The windows are just ordinary square windows, of limited size and in a limited number of areas.

There were so many people and goods in the building that most of the windows were blocked.

The air was barely circulating, and with people crowded together, there was also an indescribable smell.

The lights were on indoors during the day, but even so, the light was still dim.

"Downstairs is full of clutter, upstairs should be more concentrated."

Ma Tou carried a snakeskin bag on one hand and pointed casually with the other hand to introduce Fu Jingyou:

"Young and pretty student girls in the city love to come here to shop during holidays. They buy things at a low price and don't need cloth coupons~"

"No coupons?"

"Yes, it also started in September last year."

“Is buying clothes the same as buying cloth?”

Matou nodded and said affirmatively:
"all the same."

Fu Jingyou raised his eyebrows and looked more carefully.

There is a new policy here, which does not require cloth coupons.

At this stage in Beijing, cloth coupons are a must-have for buying ready-made clothes or buying cloth to make clothes. If you don't need cloth coupons, then this is a solid way to make money.

Fu Jingyou had some ideas, but was worried that without the cloth coupons, the prices of goods would be very high, so he kept silent for the time being.

After looking around upstairs and downstairs, I roughly figured out what items were for sale, what patterns and quality they had.

Fu Jingyou started his third round.

Ma Tou was so tired that his legs went limp. He pulled him and said:

"No, take a break, take a break! I'm starving, it's already past lunch time!"

Only then did Fu Jingyou realize that he was a little hungry too.

I looked at my watch and it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

After a brief moment of thought, Fu Jingyou pulled up his hair and squeezed into the crowd again:
"Take another look, and I'll treat you to dinner after you're done."

You should also allow some time to find a place to stay.

You can rest anywhere and deal with it at ordinary times.

I brought a lot of money with me this time, so I decided to find a decent place to live safely.

Fu Jingyou had some general impression of the patterns he had seen before.

The purpose of this trip was mainly to confirm which shops could provide wholesale goods.

While walking around, Fu Jingyou would go up and ask about something if he saw one he liked.

He speaks in a very organized and polite manner.

There was also a person around who occasionally helped out by speaking Cantonese.

The shop owners saw him as an insider who came to buy goods, so they quoted honest prices.

For example, some very thick cotton cloth costs only 30 cents a foot in department stores in northern Beijing.

Here it is sold by the meter, 50 cents per meter.

Buy more and it's cheaper.

For example, if it is over 50 meters, it is 45 cents, and if it is over 100 meters, it is 40 cents.

Of course, this is based on the premise that there are cloth coupons.

During his communication with the shop owner, Fu Jingyou came to a deep understanding that what Ma Tou meant by not wanting cloth coupons was actually that cloth coupons were not a necessity.

Without cloth coupons, the price would be five cents more expensive.

Most people cannot afford so many cloth coupons to purchase the goods, so only individual investors can buy them for their own wear, so they can get them at a cheaper price.

Fu Jingyou's brain was working rapidly.

A five cent price is also appropriate.

One meter is equal to three feet. In addition to cloth coupons, the Jingbei Department Store also charged an extra thirty cents.

Even if we calculate it according to the price in the department store, if we bring this thing back from the south, we can make 40 cents out of the price difference of one meter.

If you don't need a ticket, the price can be even higher.

The fabric is of very good quality, soft and warm to the touch, so there is no need to worry about selling it.

After chatting for a long time, the shop owner asked:
"How about it? How much?"

Fu Jingyou raised his chin towards Matou and said with a smile:
"I'll discuss it with my brother."

"That's fine."

The shop owner nodded, not too concerned.

Once a hawker has too much goods, he sometimes worries that he won’t be able to sell them.

After all, in Guangzhou, these resources are relatively abundant.

But the shop owner is different.

With more and more hawkers pouring into the industry every day, there is no shortage of buyers for the goods in their shops.

Under this circumstance, it is possible that some shop owners may have the idea of ​​letting their business rot.

The one that Fu Jingyou and his friends encountered was just a salted fish.

If the customers want to buy, the shop owner will naturally be willing to sell.

It doesn’t matter if the customers don’t buy.

Business is all about fate.

Harmony brings wealth, which is always better than forced buying and selling.
