Chapter 8 The First Pot of Gold
Chapter 8 The first pot of gold
new day,
Mongkok,
The crowds are surging. Compared with the shabby Yuet Wah Street, this place is full of bustling atmosphere. The pedestrians coming and going prove the prosperity of Mong Kok with the flow of people. At this time, in a fairly good location in the middle of Mong Kok,
Sheng Tianbu set up a stall.
But because of what happened last night, he was not in a good mood.
Sheng Tianbu originally had sufficient self-confidence, but Li Rulan's trust actually put more pressure on her.
While Sheng Tianbu was in a daze, Jimmy and Aji were neatly placing a large number of leather bags, belts, shoes and other leather goods at the stall.
The logos on these leather goods look very deceptive. They are basically big brands, not luxury brands.
There is no way around it. Although Mong Kok is prosperous, the people who live here are still at the bottom of society.
It’s okay to buy a big-name bag to show off, but if it’s something like Hermès or Louis Vuitton, even a fool will know it’s a fake.
There is no shame in using cheap goods, only shame in using fake ones.
All these are top-notch goods that Sheng Tianbu asked Zhan Mi to find after visiting many factories.
Jimmy looked at the crowd of people in front of him, his eyes full of expectation,
"Brother Tian, do you think we can sell out all these things tonight?"
Sheng Tianbu glanced at Jimmy and said, "You and I are the best sign standing here. If we can't sell out these things, don't think about doing anything else. Go to the restaurant to wash the dishes as soon as possible!"
As soon as Sheng Tianbu finished speaking, Aji came over and said, "Brother Tian, it's all done."
Sheng Tianbu nodded and looked at Jimmy.
Jimmy took out a speaker from the big pocket on the side with understanding.
After turning on the switch, I adjusted the volume, raised it above my head, and pressed the play button.
A clear voice suddenly came from the speaker.
"Dear friends, dear friends, Longxing Leather Factory has closed down!"
"The largest leather factory in Hong Kong has closed down,"
"Boss Huang He, the bastard, was engaged in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. He owed 100 million and ran away with his sister-in-law. We have no wages and can only use our wallets to pay off the debt..."
Accompanied by a burst of movement, movement, and movement, with a distinct rhythm and a joyous soundtrack,
Sheng Tianbu's voice continued to come from the speaker,
"The original price is more than 300 yuan, more than 500 yuan, more than 800 yuan for wallets, leather shoes, belts, all 50 yuan, all 50 yuan..."
"The bastard yellow crane, the yellow crane bastard..."
Hong Kong people these days have never experienced such a posture, and their attention was immediately attracted.
Countless passers-by gathered around at a speed visible to the naked eye. While listening to the exciting music, they looked at the various leather goods at the stall.
The novel hawking model instantly became the focus,
"I've never heard of Longxing Leather Factory. It's probably just a lie."
"I've never heard of it, but the prices can't be fake, right?"
"That's true, and the quality seems to be pretty good."
A passer-by picked up a wallet and asked Sheng Tianbu: "Beautiful boy, is this a real brand or a fake?"
"Of course it's true. Longxing Leather Goods Factory specializes in OEM for those big factories. The production process is exactly the same. You can feel the material for yourself."
"Hey, it's really good, but you sell it so cheaply, isn't it a loss of blood?"
Sheng Tianbu spread his hands and said: "My workers and I have not been paid for several months. If we don't get more money, the whole family will starve to death!
These are the ones we managed to obtain with great difficulty, and they will be gone once they are sold out.”
After hearing Sheng Tianbu's words, those who were still hesitant instantly made up their minds.
"It's only fifty yuan, even if it's a fake, it's not a loss! I want this leather bag and shoes!"
"Wrap that belt and wallet for me!"
"Jimmy, pack this handsome boy!"
"receive!"
"Hey, I want one too, give me that brown wallet!"
With these two people taking the initiative, the people who were still hesitating at first no longer hesitated, fearing that if they started too slowly, everything would be robbed.
After all, the handsome boss said that's all.
It's just that they didn't notice at all that the two people who first started to buy, after walking around in a circle, passed another young man and stuffed the things back.
Anyone here who knows Sheng Tianbu will find that the two customers are played by Wu Ying and A Hua, Sheng Tianbu's die-hard younger brothers.
Nowadays, the passers-by don't know it, and they think they really find a bargain. In an instant, the stalls are surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside, as if they are rushing to buy, and they eagerly take out their banknotes and start buying the things they like.
Jimmy Tsai, a veteran who has been setting up stalls for many years, was in a hurry.
Next to him, Aji stared seriously at the customers around the stall, making sure that no one would take something without paying.
Sheng Tianbu looked at this lively scene with a slight smile on his face. The plot that was used badly in later generations is very useful in this world.
Mong Kok is not small, and there are countless hawkers setting up stalls.
But tonight, only Sheng Tianbu's stall had such a heated scene. It was not unprecedented, at least it had never happened before.
The other vendors' eyes turned red when they saw this scene. They wished they were the stall owner and replaced Sheng Tianbu!
If jealous eyes could kill, Sheng Tianbu felt like he had died ten thousand times!
But now he had no time to worry about what the vendors thought. Jimmy was already too busy by himself, so he had to join the busy team.
——
In less than an hour, everything in the stall was sold out.
There were only a few scattered pairs of leather shoes and a few wallets left, which looked very inconspicuous in the huge stall.
These were all picked out because of some flaws.
Thinking that this was all he had left and he couldn't take it back with him, Sheng Tianbu simply gave him some discounts and sold the remaining goods.
Even so, there were still many people who had not bought anything who were dissatisfied. Sheng Tianbu tried to persuade them and repeatedly promised that he would collect the goods used by other workers to pay off debts and sell them off, and then the people gradually dispersed.
After cleaning up the stall, Sheng Tianbu left with Jimmy and Aji.
All the way to the place agreed with Ah Hua, Wu Ying and the others, they had been waiting for a long time.
Looking at the full bags in the hands of Sheng Tianbu and Jimmy Zai, their breathing became heavier for a while.
After sitting down, Sheng Tianbu patted the sack containing the money and said with a smile, "Don't worry, now is not the time to divide the money."
"Brother Tian, we don't mean that!" Wuying said hurriedly,
“We just didn’t expect that we could earn so much!”
Aji and Ahua also nodded in agreement.
Sheng Tianbu smiled faintly and said softly: "What does this mean? Today has just begun. In addition, because we don't understand the market, we still have less goods prepared. Ahua, when you go to pull goods tomorrow, let us
All the money will be exchanged for goods!”
Ahua nodded and said, "I know, Brother Tian, I will call the factory when I get back later."
Just when a few people were discussing how to sell more goods, a strange voice said: "These noodles of yours are really fast. I have been looking for them for so long. You can order the midnight snack tonight."
!”
Sheng Tianbu turned his head and saw several flying boys appearing in front of him.
"Who are you?"
"Who are you?" The leader spit out the toothpick in his mouth and said, "Do you know the rules? You came to my place to sell goods and you asked me who I am? Normally, you would have been lying down.
!But I’m in a good mood today and I don’t want to argue with you. Come on, just pay me what I have to pay!”
In this era, there is an unwritten rule. When doing business on Hong Kong Island, you not only have to pay money to the old woman in London, but also pay protection fees to the local society, which is commonly known as Tuo Di.
Sheng Tianbu came out to hang out, so he naturally knew the rules, but the forces in Mong Kok were complicated, and many times there would be several associations taking turns collecting protection fees.
If you pay all these, then you can't help them work?
Sheng Tianbu will not indulge in their bad habits!
Seeing that Sheng Tianbu was silent, the short mule in front of him narrowed his eyes and said, "What are you doing? You don't want to give? We didn't come over to collect money when there were the most people just now. We have already given you enough face! Don't force me.
Do it!"
Chapter completed!
