Chapter 908 Purchasing
I had always wanted to contact him when I had free time, but I never got around to it.
During the last two days of rest, Lu Miao was worried about not being able to contact Ma Tou. What should she do?
Isn’t this trip going to be empty?
Fortunately, the call was answered after just two beeps.
"Hey, are you looking for someone?"
It's not the shop owner, but Ma Tou himself.
Although Lu Miao couldn't understand Cantonese very well, he recognized the voice as soon as he heard it.
"Is it a pockmark? I'm looking for a pockmark."
"Hey, yes, yes, yes!"
On the other end of the phone, it immediately switched to bulk Mandarin:
"Sister-in-law, why are you calling now! Brother Fu has informed me a long time ago, and I have been waiting for your call for most of the time. The month is over.”
"I came here to handle the work, so I have some free time..."
Lu Miao briefly explained the situation and asked Ma Tou:
"Are you free tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? Take me to various places. Check out the supply channels?”
"If others have spoken, my sister-in-law must have spoken... Haha, where is my sister-in-law? I will find you tomorrow."
Lu Miao laughed silently and gave the address of Baiyun Hotel.
Matou is a local, can you tell me where the Baiyun Hotel is?
I immediately started yelling on the phone.
The decibel level suddenly increased, and all the service staff at the service desk looked over.
Lu Miao was calm and composed and didn't talk to him too much.
Make an appointment for him to come over tomorrow, and we won’t discuss anything until we meet.
Then he hung up the phone.
The next day when the young people from the Guoying Society went out to play, Lu Miao went downstairs to meet Ma Tou.
Ma Tou leaned on the reception desk in the lobby with one elbow on one hand and glanced back and forth at this splendid place.
The other hand would touch the back of his head from time to time.
Seeing Lu Miao coming, Ma Tou stood up straight and greeted him:
"Sister-in-law, you are finally here!"
Lu Miao nodded, walking slowly. Slowly walked towards the door of the hall:
“What’s wrong?”
"No, this place is too luxurious!"
Ma Tou followed her and laughed sincerely:
"It's my first time here, and I didn't even have the nerve to move much just now..."
I am afraid that I will look like I have never seen the world and be laughed at later.
Lu Miao smiled lightly and said indifferently:
"It's just a place to stay, nothing special. When you come back from work today, I'll treat you to the restaurant for dinner."
That's what I say, but there are differences in places to stay.
This place is usually not accessible to ordinary people.
Ma Tou was thinking and heard Lu Miao say that he would be invited to eat inside.
It is true that he is embarrassed, and it is also true that he wants to see the world.
After hesitating a few times, he nodded vigorously:
"Thank you first, sister-in-law!"
Lu Miao shook her head, not feeling like there was anything to thank her for.
She asked him to run errands and lead the way, and it was nothing to treat her to a meal.
Thinking about this, Lu Miao opened her satchel, checked the various documents inside and said:
"Go to the bank first. I'll take some cash and bring it with me."
"Okay!"
A lot of people have stayed at Baiyun Hotel recently, most of them foreign investors.
In order to facilitate the travel of these foreigners, there are many taxis operating here during this period.
The two people stopped the car on the street and went to the nearest bank first.
When she arrived, Lu Miao asked Fu Jingyou to open a separate account for her.
Originally I said it would be enough to transfer a few hundred or a thousand to the discount.
The child's father seems to be worried that she will not have enough money outside, so he saves two thousand in the discount...
We don't know what the market situation is here yet, so Lu Miao didn't withdraw it. So much comes out. First I took thirty Unity cards, which was three hundred yuan.
Counting the original change in the bag, there are four to five hundred yuan, which should be enough.
Just like when Fu Jingyou came to Guangzhou for the first time, Lu Miao walked around and visited several supply markets all morning.
All the money I took out when I went out in the morning was spent.
The quantity of the things he bought was not large, but they were all of high quality and high quality. Lu Miao planned to take them back for his own use.
The things were brought back to the hotel, and Lu Miao took Ma Tou to eat in the restaurant as promised.
When the bank opened in the afternoon, the two set out again.
This time is the real selection.
What is outstanding here in Guangzhou is not only fabrics, but also clothing.
Although self-employed people do not have a high status in today's society, the profit margins of the clothing business are large, and there are fashion stalls of a certain size in various supply channels.
When Lu Miao was shopping, in addition to choosing fabrics, she also picked clothes.
She didn't want those good-quality men's and women's suits that cost 20 to 40 yuan.
What I want is to buy trousers, skirts, shirts, T-shirts, etc. individually according to my own taste.
The lowest price per piece is four yuan, and the highest price is less than fifteen yuan.
Go back and pack your own items, and it will be easy to sell them for thirty or fifty in northern Beijing.
She is not currently majoring in clothing, so even though the profits are good, she doesn’t buy more.
It was just a few styles that I combined in my mind, and I bought about ten sets of each.
These goods are not worth much.
The seller packed it in snakeskin bags and woven bags, and Lu Miao asked Ma Tou to carry it. He filled out the Beijing North form at a nearby post office and mailed it back directly.
Then she picked out beads, wholesaled jewelry, hairpins, etc. that she thought were good.
After two days, I bought a lot of things. At the end of the day, I met a pearl farmer.
Lu Miao asked about the price. Three to four millimeter beads were sixty yuan per pound.
The price of five to seven millimeters has tripled, and it costs 180 yuan per kilogram.
The quality and size go up a notch, and those over seven millimeters are more expensive, costing 1,200 yuan per pound.
The price doesn’t sound cheap, but this thing has value.
And to calculate, a large pearl with a diameter of eight to ten millimeters weighs 0.4-0.55 grams, so there are about 900 pearls in one pound.
The average price is just over one yuan per pill.
It takes at least three to five years to grow pearls to this size.
Other smaller specifications, not to mention the quantity.
Of course.
In addition to the round beads that have been selected several times, the pearl grower also has a bag of defective products with the mouth rolled up.
Although they were defective products, Lu Miao's eyes couldn't help but light up when she saw several large pearls on the surface of the bag:
"How are the defective pearls here sold?"
She handed the bag to Ma Tou to carry, raised her trouser legs and squatted on the street.
I have already started looking at the defective bag.
“Can I choose among these?”
"These are all in poor quality. They cost fifteen yuan a pound... You, you can choose if you want."
The middle-aged dark-skinned man with rough skin rubbed the back of his head and wanted to increase the price. , and I am afraid that the increased price will scare people away.
It’s not easy to come all the way, as food and accommodation cost money.
Pearls are expensive and not that easy to sell...especially defective ones.
Anyway, after sifting through many rounds, I can’t pick out anything, so just pick one!
After thinking about it, the black-skinned man said:
"You choose! The price will be calculated as fifteen yuan for you!"
"Okay."
Lu Miao smiled and started picking.
