"... Bang bang bang..." Lin Mo gently applauded He Changwen. This analysis was indeed brilliant and to the point. Of course, he also wanted to encourage him so as not to frustrate his confidence. Although a little setback is not a bad thing, there is always time to score points.
"Is there anything you want to add now?" After walking around with the others, no one said anything before looking at Shi Baocun.
Seeing this, Shi Baocun pondered for a moment, organized his words, and said: "This store must have had business problems recently. Look at the clothes he put out. They are all in good quality. At first, you thought they were inventory clothes."
.
There may be a lot of dirty clothes sold by thieves, but clothes of this quality must be high-quality and the most profitable. They must be slowly sold in clothing stores, rather than setting up stalls and selling them at low prices.
This can also be supported by the sweaters, coats, woolen coats, leather hats, etc. that are not suitable for this season on the stalls. I estimate that this business may not be able to continue. It is actually a clearance.
That's right.
As for the reason why the business cannot continue, I have seen several newly opened ready-to-wear clothing stores that are booming near the pier. The clothing styles are novel and diverse, the quality is good, and the prices are relatively cheap. In addition, many are being renovated and ready to open.
As a ready-to-wear clothing store, it is estimated that these have seriously affected the business of this store."
After everyone heard this, many people looked around and found that many people on the street were wearing ready-made clothes, and they were mass-produced ready-made clothes, which should be the products sold in the new ready-made clothes store that Shi Baocun mentioned.
Ready-made clothing, especially mass-produced clothing, has relatively obvious characteristics, mainly rich colors, some patterns may be printed, sewn, and needle-punched, and a variety of fabrics may be used on the clothes, and sometimes multiple people can be seen wearing the same garment.
Style clothing, although there are many styles of ready-to-wear clothing, there are not actually too many styles for sale.
Of course, this does not mean that the clothes sewn by tailors do not have these features, but these features usually appear on higher-end clothes. Mass-made garments only make these more popular and allow ordinary people to use them.
As a result, the clothing of ordinary people has changed. When you glance at the street, you will see many people wearing the same style of clothing.
"Navel, later you find someone to dress up as a purchaser with you, and go to that store to buy a batch of used clothes. I guess that clothing store also does a used clothes wholesale business, and collects the second-hand goods of lower quality from the pawn shop.
Clothes are wholesaled to hawkers for retail sale.
You don’t have to pick and choose, just pack them in batches at a low price. If you can negotiate a low price, you can also wholesale a few packs of better quality products, which also shows that you don’t have to choose. The reason can be used as an excuse to sell in remote areas.”
After Lin Mo finished making arrangements, the store began to serve the dishes. No one said anything. A few stir-fried dishes, a few cold dishes, and one or two soups were quickly eaten by everyone.
After eating, everyone went their separate ways without further delay. He Changwen took Zhang Guangjia and went to the place ordered by Lin Mo. Du Qihong led Zhu Sanbao and another team member and walked around the side street first before walking from another side.
I walked around to this store and followed Lin Mo's instructions to go to the boss and make a request.
As for Lin Mo, he took Shi Baocun and others all the way south through the commercial port, urban area, and Zhenjiang are quite prosperous. After all, it is located in the center of the north and south of Jiangsu. It is also the north-south canal, the place where rivers meet, and it is also the provincial capital of JS.
As for how bad it is.
Of course, it is definitely not comparable to Shanghai or Nanjing. The urban population is only a little over 200,000, which is not even ranked first in Jiangsu. However, the level of prosperity is not comparable to other cities with this population. There are many large villages and towns in the surrounding areas.
, there are many berthed ships, which can be seen from the large non-local adult population in Zhenjiang. However, most of the ships and personnel are only temporarily docked, and have not been converted into a resident population. It can only be said that there are many prosperous cities in the Jiangnan area, and it is one of them.
Really inconspicuous.
On the edge of the urban area, as Shi Baocun said, there are many workshops and small factories gathered together. One of them is home to many iron shops and iron processing workshops, small factories, etc., but they mainly sell agricultural tools, kitchen utensils and daily necessities.
Ironware is mainly used in daily life, and most of it is mainly processed by hand, with little technical content.
After a brief walk around, Lin Mo chose a larger workshop. There were some old manual machines in the workshop, such as flattening, bending, rounding, etc. There was also a small old
A power hammer driven by a steam engine.
The workshop is equipped with cutting, pressing, riveting, drilling and other processing capabilities. It mainly processes iron borings, iron buckets, iron frames, rickshaw body flip-up brackets, etc. The shop is open together and accepts some scattered small orders. In small quantities
Retail and wholesale of some common goods.
Lin Mo went to the strong boss and ordered several barbecue grills, iron stoves of different sizes, wide iron square plates, square iron pots and other iron utensils of different styles.
Because there were many styles and few quantities, the boss was in a dilemma. He had to pay for the materials and work. Lin Mo took the initiative to raise the labor fee, so the boss agreed. However, Lin Mo also requested delivery tomorrow afternoon and paid half of it as a deposit.
The boss agreed after careful consideration.
"By the way, boss, you can send us five hundred kilograms of good charcoal tomorrow. You won't miss a penny of the payment and freight. It will be delivered to the agreed delivery place so that all the payments can be settled at once. I don't want to cause any more trouble."
.”
The boss hesitated for a moment and then agreed. It was unusual for a customer to be so generous. He didn't want to lose this business. Anyway, it wasn't a big deal. Although most paving workshops use coal, there are also many who use charcoal.
Just buy it nearby and find a truck to deliver it to you.
After the negotiation was completed, everyone took rickshaws directly at the intersection and headed east. After crossing the canal, they arrived at the county town. However, before entering the city, they first strolled along the bank of the canal. Here are the bustling docks and shops, and merchant ships berthed from east to west, north and south.
, bringing a wide variety of goods, the number of goods is so dazzling.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After walking around for a while, everyone could no longer carry all kinds of things such as food and entertainment, so they all ordered a cart to load half of them.
The cart contains all kinds of pastries, preserved fruits, nuts, etc., as well as various fans, umbrellas, curtains and even mats, and even several kites of different sizes. The most important thing is that these things are not cheap.
"You take the goods to the dock yard and wait. We will go into the city and walk around again to see the good things. You can find something to eat and drink by yourself, and we will meet up when we come back."
Lin Mo assigned the coachman and team members to wait at the nearby pier. He took Shi Baocun and others empty-handed into the county town and continued shopping. There were far fewer people coming and going in the city at this time, but there were still many large and small shops.
"Captain Lin, these are of limited use to us. Isn't the quantity purchased a bit too much?" Seeing that there were fewer people, Shi Baocun finally asked.
Lin Mo heard this and explained: "These entertainment things must be prepared in sufficient quantities. Let's not talk about whether staying on the boat without any entertainment will make you panic. It's just a bunch of people nesting on the boat, just in a certain area.
When the boat is docked, you will not be entertained or having fun on the boat, and others will not suspect that there is something wrong.
As for whether there is too much, one is that we don’t know how long the time will last, so having more preparations is definitely not a bad thing. The other is, having too much can also give everyone a long experience and knowledge. Some things are not enough to be done behind closed doors, you also need to see them.
Only after you have played and used it can you have something to say. There are not many opportunities like this, and it can be regarded as learning through fighting."
After saying that, Lin Mo saw a shop selling fishing rods and other fishing gear at a more remote intersection not far away. He immediately led people to kill it. He walked into the city and the main thing he wanted to find was this place.
.
On a boat! Is there any more suitable pastime than fishing? (Except for flower boats.) He had encountered several shops that also sold fishing gear before, but unfortunately none of them satisfied him.
Entering the store, you will see that it is indeed a shop specializing in fishing tackle, mainly selling fishing rods, and it is a shop in the front and a shop in the back. There are several masters and apprentices in the store making fishing rods, and they also sell them on behalf of some masters with superb craftsmanship.
One side of the shop is full of fishing rods of different lengths, thicknesses, materials, and shapes. There are many kinds of fishing rods. On the other side are fishing lines of various colors, fishing reels, fish hooks, floats, sinkers and other supplies, among which there are also
There are foreign products, but compared to the fishing rods on the other side, these are just small things.
Fishing, in any era, is not a money-saving pastime. Fortunately, there are not so many leisurely anglers now. Fishing gear is a little more expensive, but it is not ridiculously expensive. As long as you don’t have a master or something to use
Decoration made of luxury materials is actually considered a bit expensive by ordinary citizens.
Lin Mo bought a bunch of fishing rods of various styles. He tied a bundle of short ones for people to hold, and a half-bundle of long ones for people to carry. Other fishing gear supplies were put into a few small sacks for people to carry.
, everyone looked like they were purchasing goods.
I returned to the pier, found a boat, loaded all the purchased items on it, and then slowly sailed along the canal to the agreed place, where I unloaded the things. It was already early five o'clock.
Du Mingsheng and the infirmary staff had already returned and were guarding the things at the agreed place. Sha Ruhai had people send back two large carts of things. I still don’t know where they are now?
Du Qihong was the first to come back, and he also brought back two large carts of things, each of which was wrapped in square bags with cloth and tied with strips of cloth. Some of them had a strange smell when they were close to them. They were now taking turns to eat.
After He Changwen sent back the gas tanks and gas stoves he ordered, he went to purchase other things but had not yet returned. The gas was coal gas or water gas, which had landed in China very early.
There is a gas plant in Shanghai, which was originally used to supply gas lamps. However, as electric lighting and power generation technology matured, the sales of the gas plant were affected, and canned gas began to be sold. However, in recent years, gas has been widely promoted in Shanghai, and the supply of gas has begun to exceed demand.
So gas tanks are also rare.
There is still a British concession here, maybe it was the same as before. Although it was forced to give up, it still supplies all kinds of scarce goods and maintains some influence. There are also many local foreign businesses, and the main consumer group is themselves or with them.
Those who are close will naturally not cut off their supply easily.
The gas tanks here are not the same thing as the gas tanks of later generations. To be precise, they should be called liquefied gas cylinders. Some are also called gas tanks. They are filled with coal gas, while those of later generations are filled with liquefied petroleum gas. The pressure of petroleum gas is strong.
It is more than twice that of gas, so the technological requirements for this thing are not too high. Although it is imported from abroad, it is not an expensive and high-end thing, it is just rare in China.
As for the so-called gas company, it is actually just a store that sells canned gas and gas stoves. However, these things are indeed high-end in the eyes of ordinary people, otherwise there would be no Hua Lao bragging to Shi Baocun about the gas used by his relatives.
, does not emit smoke or smell, allowing them to learn these messages.
