Of course there is no timer for parking here, but it costs 50 baht each time.
After Cheng Yu parked the car, he found that Qin Zheng had already gotten out of the car in advance. He took out a few coins from his pocket, counted out fifty baht and handed them to the two younger children who trotted over.
Qin Zheng ran back and waited for Cheng Yu to get off the car. Then he whispered to Cheng Yu: "Mr. Zhong, if you go to give money and they find that you don't speak Thai, they will know that you are a tourist and they will find you."
You want one hundred baht."
Cheng Yu couldn't help but laugh, and he felt more and more that this child was good. Although he wanted to help others, he was by no means generous to others, but tried to help as much as he could.
After rubbing Qin Zheng's little head vigorously, Cheng Yu said, "I will give you the money later."
"No, I'm treating you. You just treated my mother and I to ice cream, and I'll ask you to stop the car." Seeing Qin Zheng's eyes looking up at him with a hint of pleading, Cheng Yu knew that this was what the little guy wanted to do.
Cheng Yu is very willing to accept efforts like this to make himself equal to him in terms of personality.
Na.
"Then thank you, Xiao Qin Zheng!" Cheng Yu said cheerfully. He saw a satisfied smile on Qin Zheng's face, and Qin Na in the car behind her should also be smiling brightly.
Qin Zheng took Cheng Yu's hand and wormed his way through the crowd. This place looked like a pedestrian street, but it was like the kind of pedestrian street in China 20 or 30 years ago. Not only were there stores, but carts could also be placed on both sides of the street.
stalls. Therefore, this street is extremely crowded. Fortunately, there are no cars.
, not even motorcycles, just pedestrians, so safety is still guaranteed. After pulling Cheng Yu for four to five hundred meters, Qin Zheng stopped and pulled Cheng Yu as low as possible.
Said in his ear: "Have you seen that Apple store over there? Actually, I heard their clerk say,
Although their store has the same decoration as an Apple store and the items they sell look the same, they are actually smuggled in and their boss does not have the authorization from Apple at all."
This kind of thing seems to be inevitable in any country. For ordinary people, it seems that tariffs are always something that can be paid without paying. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as smuggling in the world.
Letting Qin Zheng follow him, Cheng Yu went straight to the "Apple Store". This kind of store is actually deceiving itself. People who come to buy mobile phones and computers basically understand that what they buy is definitely not through normal channels.
Each imported licensed electronic and digital product has its own serial number. Once you check the serial number, you will know whether it is allowed to be sold in Thailand. If not, it is 100% parallel import. Apple is one of the parallel imports.
Therefore, it is the most popular among all electronic product brands. Firstly, it has a large audience, and secondly, because of Apple’s warranty policy. No matter which country or region you buy the product, you can buy it at any real Apple store in the world.
Specialty stores provide after-sales warranty, and most electronic products
, the warranty is country-specific. Although Cheng Yu himself doesn’t like to use Apple products, he still agrees with Apple’s strategy. After all, nowadays, transportation is so developed, and more and more people are going abroad.
, some people have meetings in New York in the morning and feed pigeons in London at night. So if the mobile phone accidentally drops while feeding the pigeons, do you have to replace it with a brand new one instead of leaving it to a local dealer of the same brand for repair?
The earth is getting smaller, but there are more
The service philosophy of several companies has not changed at all.
The store was also overcrowded, so there were no clerks to greet customers and enthusiastically introduce the products as soon as they came in. It was completely different from the treatment I received at the electrical appliance store just now.
Cheng Yu casually picked up a mobile phone, looked at it, put it down again, and walked towards a clerk.
He found that every clerk here seemed to be able to speak another language, and they should all know English. However, Cheng Yu heard someone communicating with customers in Korean, and he also heard some clerks communicating with customers in Japanese.
Although he didn't hear Chinese spoken, Cheng Yu estimated that there must be someone here who could speak it.
So Cheng Yu shouted softly: "Is there anyone who can speak Chinese?"
After saying this, Cheng Yu felt a little happy. He seemed to have said this sentence many times today.
A male clerk did come over, but it was obvious that he was Thai, maybe of mixed race, but his Thai genes seemed to be more obvious.
"I will, I will. Sir, do you want to buy a mobile phone or a tablet?" The clerk's accent was very obvious, exactly like a Thai speaking, which seemed a bit girly. "I want to ask you a question, if you are willing to answer it, I can
I'll give you a thousand baht." Cheng Yu didn't say it loudly this time. Facts have proved that this trick is not easy to use. But if he whispered it, only the two of them could hear it, it might not be easy to use.
.
The male clerk obviously hesitated, but still nodded and said, "It depends on what the problem is."
Cheng Yu smiled and thought there was a way, so he asked directly: "Is your boss here? I want to chat with him for a few words."
The male clerk looked at Cheng Yu suspiciously, not knowing what was going on. Cheng Yu quickly told the lie he had made up: "I run an inn in Chiang Mai. I have two villas in Chiang Mai, with a total of eighteen rooms.
Room. You also know that Chinese people are now very willing to travel to Thailand, especially Chiang Mai.
.Customers often ask me where they can buy such cheap Apple products. I have heard some things, so I want to discuss with your boss whether I can buy them wholesale from him."
The male clerk was a little confused and said hesitantly: "Wholesale? What does this mean?"
"I just get the goods in batches, and then your boss can give me some discounts on the price."
The male clerk then understood and muttered something in Thai, probably describing the word wholesale in Thai.
After thinking for a while, the male clerk said: "I can't answer this for you. I have to ask our boss first."
Cheng Yu nodded, and the male clerk walked towards the store. There was a door at the end. Apparently there was an office there, and his boss was sitting in the office.
Not long after, the male clerk came out, his face a little ugly. He shook his head and said to Cheng Yu: "Our boss said he didn't have enough to sell, and he didn't plan to ship it cheaply. Let you find another way."
Cheng Yu smiled slightly and did not feel dissatisfied. After all, he already knew that the owner of this store was at least in the store now. He was not really here to wholesale products anyway.
Cheng Yu took out cash from his pocket, took out a thousand dollar note, and handed it to the male clerk.
The male clerk felt that he had not helped Cheng Yu negotiate the matter, and he was too embarrassed to ask Cheng Yu for the money that Cheng Yu had agreed with him from the beginning.
"Take it, I said, I just want you to answer a question, and you have already answered it. Even if you refuse, it is still the answer." The male clerk was really surprised, but he still took the money overjoyed, and then
, he lowered his voice and whispered to Cheng Yu: "Actually, our boss didn't come here by himself, he also...well,
What’s that word called?”
"Wholesale." Cheng Yu reminded him. "Yes, wholesale. There are several stores like ours in Bangkok. The sources of goods are all the same. Some are parallel imports, but most of them are refurbished machines. I know the boss
Where is the source of the supply? Just wait a moment and I'll get it.
I'll write you the address." After saying that, the male clerk hurried away, and soon he returned to Cheng Yu and secretly slipped a note to Cheng Yu.
"It's written in Thai. If you take a taxi, show it to the driver, or ask someone. If I write it in Chinese, you won't be able to find it." Cheng Yu thought to himself that this male clerk is very honest and attentive, thanks to his
In fact, otherwise Cheng Yu would have thought that the owner of this store was a smuggler, and would inevitably have to break in directly to question him. If
If this person is even just a second-hand middleman, there is absolutely no way he is a smuggler.
"Thank you." Cheng Yu said sincerely.
The male clerk shook his head and said, "Thank you too for letting me earn an extra thousand baht."
Cheng Yu took Qin Zheng and left. Qin Zheng pursed his lips and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhong, I seem to have made a mistake again."
Cheng Yu replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter, isn't there already new progress? Don't be afraid of making mistakes, as long as there is progress."
Back in the car, Cheng Yu handed the note to Qin Na and said, "You should be literate, right? Do you know where the address written on it is?"
Qin Na read the note and said, "Although I'm not as familiar with Bangkok as Qin Zheng is, I still know the general direction. When we get nearby, let Qin Zheng find someone to inquire and find out." Cheng Yu said nothing and directly
I started the pickup truck, squeezed out of the traffic little by little, and drove all the way south. After a while, the road surface widened significantly, the traffic volume also decreased, and the road conditions began to improve unusually.
stand up.
While driving, Cheng Yu turned his face and asked, "Is that place very remote?"
"It's not very remote, but it must be out of the city. It looks like it's a place with many factories." After driving for nearly half an hour, Cheng Yu felt that he was almost back to Lung Tsai House, at least.
This is also the edge of Bangkok. Qin Na finally said: "It should be near here. We are now on the road mentioned in the note."
, now you only need to find the house number and you will know how to go."
Cheng Yu slowly parked the car on the side of the road. Qin Zheng jumped out of the car and ran while shouting: "I'm going to see the house number."
The little guy came back quickly and said: "This is number 628, and the number ahead is number 626." Cheng Yu glanced at the note. Although he didn't understand the Thai language, the Arabic numerals were the same. If
The road name is correct, so the address on the note should be some distance from here, because the Arabic numerals on the note are
Number ninety-eight.
"Get in the car." Cheng Yu waved his hand, and when Qin Zheng came up, he restarted the pickup truck and continued to move forward. After driving for another five or six minutes, Cheng Yu found that the not-so-high buildings he had just seen were gone.
If each door corresponds to a house number, it means Qin Na is right. This is
A place where factories gather.
The car parked on the side of the road again. This time Qin Zheng didn't have to get out of the car to take a look, because the house numbers hanging on the doors were all large, so he could easily see them clearly while sitting in the car.
"One hundred and twenty-six, it seems we have to drive a little further." Cheng Yu continued to step on the accelerator and the car moved forward slowly. This time he stopped quickly because he had already seen ninety
The house number number eight.
Different from the gates I passed before, the gate corresponding to this house number looked very shabby, as if no workers had been working in this factory for a long time, and the factory gates did not need to be opened and closed frequently. Cheng Yu parked the car
, said to the mother and son: "You two, just stay in the car. This is probably a smuggler's warehouse, or even a lair. They definitely don't want outsiders to come and go. If something goes wrong if you go in, I will
I have to protect you." Qin Na nodded and said, "Mr. Zhong, please be careful."
