"Why did you buy so much?" Seeing Du Qihong and others coming back after eating, Lin Mo asked, what's the number on their cart? It's estimated that one cart is more than two carts of others.
"That store is just selling things. It is said that they will not accept anything except high-end clothes in the future. No one wants those items now. They are extremely cheap, and the more they are sold, the cheaper they are. I did the math. If we remove the better ones,
The cost of one car is almost not much more than the cost of one and a half cars, so I simply spent all the money and brought back a bunch of money."
"Do they mainly put clothes of foreign styles into their bags?" Lin Mo asked after hearing Du Qihong's explanation.
"...It should be, right?" Du Qihong wasn't sure, and explained: "You said you didn't want to pick, and I didn't pay much attention after you said so. However, I noticed the better ones, although I didn't pick them out specifically.
But it’s true that I use clothes with many styles from other places.”
"...That's enough..." Lin Mo nodded. As long as this is fine, more is better. There are some differences in the styles of clothes in different places. It happens that they also have this need. If they really collect it by themselves,
Don’t know how much effort it will take?
"Did the words come out clearly from the beginning?"
"I told you, but I kept trying to keep it secret and didn't make it clear until the end. The other party seemed a little unhappy, but I was careful on the way, so the other party probably didn't have any thoughts."
"It's better to be careful. As far as the other party's business is concerned, the other party must be very well-informed in areas such as the dock."
After saying that, Lin Mo gave instructions for everyone to gather together according to the previous divisions, giving the outside world the feeling that they are familiar and know each other, but they are just getting together temporarily, not the same group of people.
Of course, Lin Mo was not too worried. Although he took away two cars, they were mainly defective products. Moreover, the other party would only make a small profit at most, not a loss. It was unlikely that they would do anything wrong.
At least judging from the other party's past operations, he has been relatively restrained in his actions, but there is no guarantee that the other party will not develop any curiosity. It is better to be cautious and cautious, lest the other party discovers anything through investigation.
Those words were what Lin Mo deliberately wanted to convey. He had also noticed the newly opened ready-made clothing stores, which most likely had something to do with his family or himself.
Because some of the designs of those clothes have some shadows of the designs he mentioned, and some even look almost the same as his tactical casual clothes. That is to cover for them. These clothing stores are most likely for the Lin family.
The Liu family's ready-to-wear clothing factory sells to downstream retailers.
And it is definitely not just this store, or even just this dirty sales business, that will suffer business problems due to this impact. Other similar store businesses may also be affected by this.
Stealing people's business can lead to serious resentment. People who run various businesses are somewhat powerful. They may not be able to influence the Lin family and the Liu family, but they will definitely affect the business, so it is better to remind them.
Let them follow their ideas and extend the business to remote areas. These people have some influence and ability, and if they don't have it, it won't have much impact on the business. As long as someone makes a prototype first, there will definitely be others who will follow suit, so it can be transferred.
Due to the impact of some conflicts of interest, it may even be possible to expand the business through these channels and business routes.
Of course, this is just a casual move. Maybe some people may have followed the good example and become the vanguard of their camp.
After chatting for a while and asking some questions, Lin Mo took people to eat at a nearby stall, which was a row of food stalls not far from the pier. The family bought a few items and ate briefly.
After eating and going back, He Changwen also came back from shopping for other things. He brought back half a truckload of fishing nets and fishing gear. The quality looked very good.
"Brother Lin, hemp nets are quite troublesome to use. I found a store that sells silk fishing nets and bought silk nets at a more expensive price. They mainly included several throw nets of different sizes and a few short pieces.
Floating nets, as well as some dip nets, fine-mesh nets, net bags, etc., and ground cages are purchased with iron bars and steel bars as the skeleton."
"...It was done very well..." Lin Mo nodded. Obviously, Shi Baocun understood Lin Mo's intention of purchasing these, so the completion was relatively good.
Not long after, Sha Ronghai also came back with the kitchen staff and brought back two large carts of things. The previous two carts were filled with meat, eggs, fruits and vegetables, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, but these two carts were mixed.
Lin Mo didn't even know if he could eat some things.
After asking, I found out that he actually pointed me in the right direction. Most of the crew members and owners of the ship eat and drink on the ship, so the rations on the ship, the specialties from their hometown, or the local specialties purchased along the way are all suitable for them.
needs.
The price given by Sha Ronghai was about 20 to 30% higher than the local retail price of similar goods. For most things, it was a good price. But for those on the ship, if the things did not contain some special meaning, why would they make a small fortune?
Don’t want to do it? You can eat something else instead! Or if you want to eat, you can buy it on the way.
So Sha Ruhai and others were picking and choosing, trying their best to find something unique or difficult to find to sell, and finally they were left with these two large carts.
He Changwen and Sha Ruhai were asked to take the people to eat, and the boat also appeared at the appointed time. Now it has changed its appearance again and turned into another appearance.
Everyone spent a lot of effort to move a lot of the things they bought onto the boat, almost to the point where it was fully loaded. Then Lin Mo directed the boat to sail to the middle of the river and then go downstream.
During this period, the river channel near Zhenjiang was different from the current one. Today, the main channel of the Yangtze River near Zhenjiang moved northward, forming a northward fox shape. The river channel was smoother, while the southern river channel was seriously silted up.
During this period, the river surface was broad and slow, especially in the area below Zhenjiang. There was a bay of water fifteen or six miles wide from north to south, with places such as Yike Island, Monk Island, Zaohe Island, and Situ Island on it.
The famous big sandbank.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the wide and gentle river area, the waterways intertwined between sandbars, Lin Mo and others' boat soon disappeared. For the sake of safety, the boat went all the way south.
, after traveling to Taipingzhou, where Yangzhong is located, we turned around and entered Liaojiagou, tracing the wide waterway where the Huaihe River enters the river, and finally sailed from a waterway not far away from the northern end of the river bay before to
Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and then back to the ancient canal.
However, their base ship is no longer on the Guazhou side. Instead, it goes up the ancient canal to the south of Yangzhou and anchors in a wider river bend. They will spend the night here today.
After the rendezvous, it was already dark. After unloading the cargo, Lin Mo chatted politely with the captain of the motor boat for a while, and then arranged for the captain to go back. There was no other way. Their permission could only go to the well restaurant, and they could not stay on the big ship.
Moreover, according to the rules of the prison, they were not allowed to stay after their mission, so they had to rush back overnight. Fortunately, dinner was provided on the ship, and Zheng Junshan also ordered a midnight snack to be eaten on the way.
Back on the ship, everyone had already started to pack and sort things and put them into storage. The captain rarely came over to take a look. After all, he was the person in charge of the ship and he still had to understand these situations clearly.
"Captain, we have purchased a batch of old clothes here. Can you ask the crew to help clean them up? This bathroom is a bit small, and we have several large boxes of information that need to be reviewed and familiarized. I really don't want to deal with these things anymore.
It’s a waste of time.”
"...No problem..." The captain agreed directly and said: "There is a washing machine on the ship, can you just throw it in and wash it?"
"Washing machine?" Lin Mo asked with a surprised look on his face. The captain agreed. He was a little worried, but he didn't expect this result.
"...Uh..." The captain thought for a moment and replied: "That's what it should be called! Anyway, it's a big drum that can throw sheets and covers into it for washing. We can't expand the number of people on the ship too much, lest we be overwhelmed.
Just put this thing on.
I had heard that foreigners had this thing on their large passenger ships, so I asked them to install one. Because it requires hot water for scalding, it was installed in the engine room. The machine exhaust steam was used to condense and heat the hot water.
However, in order to avoid the influence of those cinders and soot things, it is sealed and you have to open the door to see the roller. I guess I didn’t introduce it to you.”
"Just use this. You can also call me Captain Lin or Xiao Lin. Don't call me yours. Regardless of your age or seniority, you are my senior. Calling me that way is embarrassing me!"
"Then let's call him Captain Lin! If something happens in the future, you don't need to explain anything to me. Just tell me and make arrangements. I know all the rules in the department, and I won't have any dissatisfaction or blame."
Lin Mo nodded, chatted briefly, and then asked people to move things down first. The captain also called the ordinary crew members to go down and greet them.
The captain greeted the bags of old clothes that were moved down and placed them on the ramp connecting the warehouse to the restaurant. The ramp was used instead of stairs to facilitate the entry and exit of heavier and larger materials. There was a wider aisle under the ramp.
, used as a cargo yard, with warehouse doors on both sides, where the crew sorted and cleaned up.
Although it is called defective, it is actually not too bad. After all, whether you are going out or returning home, the luggage you pack will definitely not be too bad or inferior. Moreover, thieves also pick people, so you can’t just look for poverty with nothing to do, haha
Take action, right?
Therefore, the so-called defective products should be called clothes of common quality for ordinary citizens. However, there is not much profit from selling these used clothes, so they are treated as defective products.
There is a peculiar smell, but it is the kind of smell that is caused by being left for a long time. It is not a dirty smell. After all, you cannot bring a box of dirty clothes as luggage. At most, you will change into dirty clothes that cannot be washed on the road, but the other party should not
Collect this kind, or have already picked it out.
Lin Mo looked at it for a while, and then looked at the so-called washing machine. In fact, as the captain said, it was a big drum. The iron shell was placed horizontally, and there were some smooth wooden wedges on it. After the motor drove and rotated, the clothes could be brought up and dropped down.
, there is not even a special mixer, and it mainly relies on hot water and soap powder for simple cleaning. If the clothes are heavily stained, they may need further treatment.
After picking out a bundle of clothes that still had an odor and sending them to the equipment room on the first floor, Lin Mo went to the bathroom to wash his face, and then followed the others, holding a book and burying his head in the pile of information.
