Outsiders who first arrived in the small town often mistakenly thought that they had left the country and came to Russia.
The ruble could be used as the currency here, and the streets were filled with Russian signs. Blond-haired Russians could be seen almost everywhere on the streets, and the unattractive uncles and aunties might also speak a few words of Russian.
However, one would find a strange phenomenon. Only one-third of the people doing business in the small town were locals, and the remaining two-thirds were all old customers from other places.
Lu Fengjun's family was a representative of the locals of the small city.
Lu Fengjun could build a house and rent it out to outsiders. He could also drive a taxi to pick up people and carry goods, but he had never thought of doing business himself.
Lumi recalled the border trade and money collection back then.
There was a train back to Russia every day in the small town. The passengers were all Russian and Chinese businessmen who were carrying all kinds of big travel bags and returning with full loads.
In his previous life, Lumi had gotten to know a logistics company called Yongzhi through a friend. This guy was the original "Master Dao". He carried a big bag at the crowded train station, climbed over the mountain of people, and rushed onto the international train.
In the end, he used the opportunity to open the largest international logistics company in Beijing. It could be said that he had earned a lot.
It was the lack of Russian light industrial products in the early 1990s that led to the "barter trade" in the small city. At that time, almost all the people in the small town owed money. The locals stood on the street and exchanged light industrial products such as sneakers and sportswear for Russian watches, woolen coats, binoculars, and other items. After all, they were in two different languages. They couldn't directly communicate how to do business. This group of smart businessmen only needed to use a calculator. How much money do you want? Just press the number and you'll make a guess.
In order to solve this chaotic trading situation, the small city built a five-story building of more than 3000 square meters, named Qingyun Commercial Building, which made the small city one of the most active business centers in the open areas along the border of China and Russia at that time.
The shopping mall was crowded and noisy. In his previous life, Lumi rarely came to Qingyun Commercial Building. This time, he was really shocked to see it with his own eyes. It could really be said to be a "gold mine" in the eyes of Chinese and Russian businessmen.
Lumi and Lu Fengjun looked around as they walked. The goods were complete, covering clothing, shoes, hats, daily necessities, and more than ten thousand varieties.
"Dad, which floor do you think is the most popular?”
"There are many people on every floor! However, there were more people on the clothing and shoes floors.”
"Old Lu, not bad. Outsiders watch the show, while insiders watch the door. You've seen the essence!”Lumi gave Lu Fengjun a thumbs up.
"Come on, it's obvious. Buy whatever you want. It's too hot here.”
"Don't be anxious. Let's go and look at the sneakers."
Lumi led his father to a sneakers stall.
Hey, this shop's shoes are really good. They're all leather and have both male and female styles. In terms of the fabric and material of the shoes, this was definitely not a problem for Lumi.
Lumi didn't buy any shoes at the International Trade City just now. It was because almost all the people from the later generations wore casual shoes. Those small boots didn't even have a style. They definitely weren't Lumi's type.
"Boss, how much are these two styles of sneakers?”Lumi inquired in his own tongue.
Slippers were the meaning of travel shoes in Wenzhou, Fujian.
When the boss heard this, he immediately quoted the lowest price."I'll give you 55 yuan for the men's pair and 40 yuan for the women's pair.”Worried that Lumi would not believe him, he added," This is the wholesale price!”It meant that he should stop haggling.
"Yes, yes. A pair of women's size 38, a pair of size 39, a pair of men's size 43, and a pair of big children's size 38.”
The same size 39 was for his mother, the one for Da Tong was for Lu Xiaolong, and the size 43 was for his father.
His father looked at the fat and stupid sneakers and could not accept it. However, he tried it on his feet. Heh, it was soft and comfortable. He was not worried that it would freeze his feet with the felt inside. The main thing was that his daughter knew how to bargain. This price was within Lu Fengjun's acceptable range.
Lumi chatted with the boss as he tried on his own style." How's business?”
"Not bad! But my goods will be sold until the end of the year before returning to Wenzhou.”
"Why? There would definitely be a market for sports shoes in the future.”Lumi asked, puzzled.
"There's no one managing the factory. I need to go back to the factory.”The boss was also very regretful.
"Oh, I see. It's a pity.”An idea came to her mind and she changed the topic."How much is the stall fee here?”
"The booth fee is due in June this year. There's still half a year left. I don't know if it'll be easy to rent it out. I don't want to give up, but I really have no choice.”
"Boss, are you sure you can trust us with your stall?”
Lumi thought of the future market for leisure shoes, which could occupy half of the shoe market and would last for a long time. Rumi really didn't want to take advantage of the Wenzhou boss. Rumi, who came from the future, was once a fashion expert. Some popular, beautiful, best-selling styles, and fabrics were all engraved in Rumi's mind. These were all experience points that were more valuable than money.
Lu Fengjun saw that Lumi's topic was seriously off track and pulled his daughter's sleeve.
Lumi patted his father's hand to reassure him. Then, he said to the Wenzhou boss seriously and sincerely,"I think we're fated. First of all, we're not bad people. We live locally, not far from Qingyun Commercial Building. Our family has three large bungalows, and our parents and grandparents are locals. My parents are especially talented in business, but because they have to take care of us siblings, they can't go to the south to take a look. According to my judgment, your goods are so good that they will definitely sold well in the future. It's a pity to withdraw from Qingyun Commercial Building. When you finish your work in the factory and come back, it's hard to say whether your market share will be there or not. "We can be your agent. Moreover, the most important thing is that I have a talent for languages. I've reached the translation level in Russian. I'll definitely be able to help the manufacturers develop trade with Russia.”
The Wenzhou boss and Lu Fengjun were stunned by Lumi's words. They didn't think that there could be such an operation.
At this moment, two Russians came over. They looked at the shoes on the counter and spoke a long paragraph of Russian.
Lumi replied in Russian,""The wholesale price of this one is 75 yuan, and these two are 55 yuan and 65 yuan respectively. There are also a few other styles that sell especially quickly. Please rest assured that we are a factory direct seller.”
The Russian was very happy. He had never met a merchant who had such a smooth communication. He immediately asked to place an order.
Lumi picked up the ledger from the counter and asked for the names of the two beauties.
The older one was Liuba, and the younger one was Nasika.
Lumi said in fluent Russian,""Liu Ba, don't worry about buying. It will definitely sold well and you will definitely earn money.”
Lumi didn't expect the two of them to have such purchasing power. He took down the list of goods. There were ten styles, each of which had three to five boxes. He directly paid for the bill. It was 50,000 RMB and he agreed to send it to the logistics department the next morning.
The Wenzhou boss was stunned. After hearing Lumi's sincere words, he couldn't help but nod in his heart when he saw Lumi's performance. "These shoes are free. I'll give them to you to wear. I'll compare the list price with my wholesale price. I'll let you earn the difference. I understand what you're saying, and I'm also very interested in your proposal. I'll call home tonight to communicate with them. Tomorrow, you'll accompany me to deliver the goods to the two foreigners and we'll have a detailed chat, okay?”
Lumi had already expressed what he needed to express. Now, it was up to this Wenzhou man to decide whether or not he was big enough. In any case, Lumi thought this was a rare opportunity.
Lumi didn't reject the pair of sneakers that he had gotten for free. He generously took them away and said goodbye.
Lu Fengjun was completely impressed by his daughter." Well, since when did your Russian become so good? What you said just now, do you really have such thoughts?”
Lumi did not hide anything. He had wanted to find an opportunity to infiltrate his father. Now that he had seen Lumi's ability with his own eyes, it was even more convincing.
"Dad, you've been thinking about this for a long time. It's too hard for you to work alone, and the pay is not proportional to the return.”
This was really Lumi's idea to stop his father from driving a taxi. If it was not different from his memory, Lu Fengjun would have a car accident soon. It was not Lu Fengjun's fault. The other party had drunk and hit Lu Fengjun. However, the other party had some underworld connections in society, so they kept the matter under wraps. Lu Fengjun suffered a very serious superficial injury and was bedridden for more than half a month before he recovered. His car was also damaged and sold at a loss. From then on, he never touched a car again.
If a person's spirit was destroyed, then their willpower and self-esteem would also suffer a serious blow.
"Your driving skills are definitely not a problem, but can you guarantee others? How many people were driving without a license and drunk driving now? Dad, I used to think that if I could find a new way out, I wouldn't let you suffer so much.”Lu Fengjun's eyes were filled with envy after hearing Lumi's words, and he started to waver.
"Moreover, this road is right in front of us now. We don't need to invest much. The goods and stalls are ready-made. I'll teach you and my mother the language at home.”Lu Fengjun was about to retort when Lumi seemed to know what his father was thinking. He continued," Don't worry, I've thought it through. I'll definitely go to university, and I'll definitely go to a good one to bring honor to you."”
His daughter's words completely strengthened Lu Fengjun's confidence." I think this business is too good. You sold it for so much money with just a few words. Do you really want to earn that price difference?”
"Of course I want to earn money. That's the price I specially raised. However, the stall fees were paid in June, and the fees for the past six months had to be paid to them. Ask them tomorrow how much it was and see if the commission was enough. If it was not enough, you could fill it in, okay?”
"Alright, there's no free trade!" Lu Fengjun understood this.
"If we agree tomorrow, go to the warehouse and count the goods. We definitely won't pay him. We'll pay him when we sell these goods and order new ones, okay?”
Lumi's method was called a loan in his previous life, and it was the same method for working with manufacturers. Triangular debt was not fun. If one party broke the contract or went bankrupt, it would cause the capital chain to break. However, Lumi never thought of deceiving people and harming people. Wenzhou people's sneakers were Lumi's stepping stone in this world. Lumi was not stupid.
Late at night, Lu Fengjun told Liu Jie about his experience today. Liu Jie was very suspicious. How could she not know what her daughter was like? Was this still his quiet and simple-minded daughter?
