Chapter 42 Visiting the trust store and feeling emotional
I have never bought second-hand things before, so I have never paid attention to trust stores. I have to ask someone to find out.
After asking around, I found out that the main business scope of different trust stores is different.
If you want to buy second-hand bicycles, related accessories, sewing machines, etc., you have to go to Beixinqiao.
If you want to buy second-hand furniture, you have to go to Donghuamen.
Duan Hongxuan wants to buy second-hand cameras and Wenfang Four Treasures, so he has to go to Dongsi.
After asking around, I found the trust store in Dongsi.
After entering the store, Duan Hongxuan was not in a hurry to buy anything. He walked around the various counters first, which was an eye-opener.
There is a dazzling array of all kinds of things, and there are many kinds.
Let’s talk about jewelry, including gold, jade, and pearl necklaces.
We even saw cheongsams, mink vests, sheepskin coats, etc.
Others include pocket watches, watches, desk clocks, cameras of various brands, large and small, various radios, tea sets, dishes, etc.
And at the counter selling the four treasures of the study, at first glance, they are basically old items.
In addition to pens, inks, paper and inkstones, there were even calligraphy and paintings by literati from the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, which made Duan Hongxuan secretly sigh.
Everything sold in the trust store is from private hands and is not from the public sector.
If it weren't for family difficulties, who would be willing to sell these things? And there are so many varieties, and this is just a trust store like Dongsi.
So what does the country lack most now? Foreign exchange, technology and ideas.
Duan Hongxuan didn't dare to think any further. Just these things gave him a sense of urgency, and he wanted to do something immediately.
But if you look at your age and the environment you live in now, what can you do?
He really didn't want to look at anything else, so he just picked an 80% new camera, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, etc. Duan Hongxuan left the trust store, got on his bicycle and went home.
When I got home, I looked to see that the rain had not returned yet.
Duan Hongxuan put away his things and slowly brewed tea to calm himself down first.
After sipping tea for a while and calming down, Duan Hongxuan began to think seriously.
How did a country in later generations become the world's largest foundry? Now it has none of these.
Is there no way out? Not necessarily. Now the labor cost is very low, and there are many things that can actually be exported to earn foreign exchange, but there are no channels and ideas.
How can we create a channel? Now it seems that the only way out is still Hong Kong City.
Find someone to set up a trading company in the port city, and then design some gadgets that are easy to make and exquisite, and are more popular in the West. The trading company can entrust them to domestic production.
From Duan Hongxuan's perspective from later generations, many things are just problems in design ideas and are very easy to produce.
To give a very simple example, bamboo woven products can be made by a large number of hands in China. The key is that your design must be exquisite, so that people look novel and like it, and it is also practical.
As long as the above points are met, you can export to some European and American countries and earn a lot of foreign exchange.
I weave an exquisite bamboo basket, and the selling price in the domestic market may only be one or two cents, or even less than that!
But as long as I open channels in Europe and the United States, I can sell it for a few dollars, and the profit will be huge.
The key is that the design of your bamboo basket must be clever, so that people will be surprised at first sight, and they will like it immediately. If they buy it back, it will be practical and beautiful, and there will naturally be a market for it.
As for the design aspect, Duan Hongxuan has no worries at all because there is a system.
The key now is the trading company in the port city. As long as this part is solved, the rest will be very simple.
A trading company in a port city places domestic orders and settles the bill with you in foreign currency.
I'll pay you two or three dollars a piece for a bamboo woven product that costs a few cents in China. The country will definitely welcome it!
Bamboo weaving is a labor-intensive industry. Not only can men do it, but it can also solve the work problems of a large number of women.
In addition to bamboo woven products, there are also wooden furniture! It is also about design, exquisite design ideas, novel and practical furniture styles, which will definitely be popular.
These are all things that do not require high technical content. There are other things that require some technology and can be produced domestically. As long as the design is slightly changed, they can also have a large market in the West.
For example, bicycles can be produced in China! However, in China they are mainly practical. To be honest, they are not beautiful and beautiful. It is similar in foreign countries.
But the beautiful and high-looking bicycle design is also very simple for Duan Hongxuan, and he can even apply for a patent internationally!
Entrust a domestic bicycle factory. You produce it for me according to my design drawings and requirements. I will settle with you in US dollars and sell the products to the West.
And so on, Duan Hongxuan can think of many ways to increase the country's foreign exchange income that can be achieved under existing policies.
In the final analysis, we still need a transfer station, and that is the trading company in Hong Kong City!
The best candidate I am familiar with right now is Lou Jingzhai.
Duan Hongxuan believes that as long as the trading company is established, it will soon make money and make money.
But this will cause a problem. In the current environment of the port city, such a profitable trading company will inevitably become the coveted object of many people.
Therefore, you must have a means of self-protection, otherwise you will end up benefiting others in vain, and your efforts will be in vain.
It would be okay if we just want to distribute dividend shares, but the key is that we are afraid that others will intervene in management and forcefully lower the purchase price, or even stop domestic purchases, which will affect domestic foreign exchange income, which is not in line with Duan Hongxuan's original intention.
p>
For Lou Jingzhai to go to Hong Kong City to establish a trading company, two conditions must be met.
The first is to prevent Lou Jingzhai from having any other thoughts.
Lou Jingzhai is a businessman after all. When huge profits really come from it, who knows what ideas he will have.
Then there must be some means to prevent Lou Jingzhai from having other thoughts.
The second is that when a trading company makes other people jealous and wants to reach out, it must be able to use thunderous means to cut off the extended hand and frighten other people!
In China, Duan Hongxuan can be stable, honest, do his duty, and will not use extraordinary means.
But once he goes out to face outsiders, as long as he dares to influence Duan Hongxuan's plan, he will never be merciful.
In the world of high martial arts for nearly a thousand years, Duan Hongxuan was definitely not a good boy and killed many people.
The so-called butcher generals who were despised and even feared by people in ancient history were nothing short of obedient compared to Duan Hongxuan.
When you go abroad, Duan Hongxuan will definitely show you what it means to be ruthless and have no scruples!
The prerequisite for meeting the above two conditions is that Duan Hongxuan must practice the technique to a certain level, so at least not yet.
Duan Hongxuan couldn't wait to start practicing now, but he had to calm down, because he had to perfect the foundation before starting to practice, so that he could reach higher heights in the future.
In the world of high martial arts, those who can perfectly build a foundation are extremely rare.
Duan Hongxuan also spent nearly a thousand years, through his superb medical skills, met many big bosses, paid a lot of money, and used some thunderous methods, and finally gathered this set of perfect foundation building materials.
.
Now that we have such a great opportunity, we must not waste it.
I carefully felt my physical condition and estimated the time. It should be fine next week.
This body's foundation is average, but it is nourished by the top-quality body-building elixir Qi-Blood Pill, plus the remaining space-time energy after traveling through time to nourish and transform this body. It would normally take two or three years for body-building time.
, now it only takes a few weeks to complete, and the results are better.
Suppress your impatient mood, as a small impatience will ruin your big plans. You can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry!
Complete the foundation building next week and start practicing the exercises. Just getting started is not enough.
Since you have to wait, you might as well wait a little longer, practice all at once to reach the planetary level, and then start taking action as planned.
