"...Well..." Sun Jiming touched his chin and thought for a while, then pointed to the last basket.
"Those items inside, they should be tea leaves, right? Did you say anything?"
Hearing this, the negotiating man explained: "There is a tea lover on the ship. When he went to various places, he bought and saved tea. Although it is not a famous tea, it tastes really good, so I specially asked him to deliver it.
Some come over."
After finishing speaking, the negotiator took out several tea leaves from the basket on his back and asked Sun Jiming to take a look at them.
Without opening it, Sun Jiming just opened the oil paper slightly, smelled the smell through the gap, and nodded.
"It smells good. Your brother should know a lot about tea. Even if it's not famous tea, these are definitely good teas! Just give me some of this."
Is tea good? There is no conflict with the lack of name. Famous tea is just famous for its good tea. Even famous tea may be buried in the mud and sand, and good tea is buried in the mountains and plains. Why bother too much?
The two chatted in some more details, and Sun Jiming went to the store next to it where a phone was installed, made a call, and chatted for a while.
As for the negotiating man, the leading man was a little worried. He went into the kitchen and took a look. The other party was already cleaning and soaking the so-called tree flowers. He opened his mouth, but unfortunately he didn't pay attention at all.
…
"What else did you find out?" Boss Qian still looked casual, crossing his legs and asking the inquiring men.
"Brother Qian, I followed him around to the pier. There was someone waiting there. He asked people around him and said that he seemed to be from the other party. He rented a boat in Wujiang. There were people from the boatman on the boat who were responsible for watching the boat.
and pick them up and back.
It was too far, so the people below didn't follow them, but after asking around, some people had some impressions of them. According to the description, it didn't seem like there was anything wrong with them.
I didn't return until three or four in the afternoon, carrying several large backpacks, which looked quite heavy. After entering the hotel, there was no movement for a while. Later, Brother Sun came out alone and made a phone call at the store next door.
According to what I found, it seemed that they were going to sell a batch of furs worth thousands of dollars. They probably wanted to take action and asked someone from Brother Sun to introduce them.
With such a large amount of money, I feel that their suspicions have increased, but I personally heard about the situation at the dock, and it doesn't seem fake..."
"Tell me the situation in detail." Qian Qigui spoke, but did not directly listen to and adopt his subordinate's ideas.
"...None of this means anything..." After listening, Qian Qigui shook his head.
"At the dock, they could have guessed that we were going to check, so they started pretending there. Similarly, goods worth thousands of dollars sounds like a lot, but there are dozens of people in their entire fleet.
.
After inquiring, it was found that this group of people were indeed doing business in various places during the break of transporting goods. It is normal to have a batch of mountain goods on hand. Things worth several thousand are converted into each person's head, which is only a hundred. After excluding the capital, each person
Only a few dozen.
This amount is not enough for Shanghai workers to work for several months! So it cannot explain or prove anything, and there is no basis for your suspicion."
After hearing this, the subordinates scratched their heads and asked cautiously: "Brother Qian, could it be that someone deliberately used this ambiguous message to mislead and contain us?"
Qian Qigui heard this and replied: "There is no point in worrying about these things, let's continue to keep a close eye on it!"
After hearing this, his subordinates scratched their heads, resigned and left. Qian Qigui drank a cup of tea leisurely before making a call and informing him of the situation in detail.
After finishing the report, Qian Qigui waited quietly for a while before the sound came out.
"Based on the information you provided, I can't determine the identity of the other party. The main reason is that as soon as the other party came to Shanghai to spy on him, he immediately fell silent, which at least made it almost impossible for us to find out anything about him.
Without understanding their goals and what actions they will take, we cannot infer their whereabouts, and it is difficult to judge from superficial information..."
"These are not things I should worry about. I just want to know what you need me to do."
Qian Qigui interrupted the other party's long speech and asked directly.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then he said: "Okay! I won't find any reason to talk nonsense. The information is limited and I can't judge. Keep watching, but don't forget to look for other clues."
"Then don't forget what you promised to do for me!" Qian Qigui replied in a calm and cold tone and hung up the phone directly.
Then he called another one. When Maeda answered the phone, he put on a flattering tone and reported the situation in detail.
"These situations don't mean anything, and there is no need to pester him. Continue to keep an eye on the other party to see if there is any suspicious behavior."
"...Yes..." Qian Qigui agreed in an excited and high-spirited tone. The person on the other side hummed, and after a few routine instructions, he hung up the phone.
…
A T-type car with a hood and a small light truck parked at the side of Min'an Hotel, and Sun Jiming quickly led people to greet them.
"Uncle Qu, you are really fast. Can I trouble you to make a trip this time? Can you please come in?"
The energetic old man standing by the car nodded slightly, but did not move. Instead, he frowned and looked at the hotel in front of him.
"Why is this house so weirdly built? It takes up so much of the intersection, and how inconvenient is it to drive?" the old man said, seeming a little dissatisfied.
Upon hearing this, Boss Qiu hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and explained: "The house occupies all private land, and the two forked streets are planned public land. The landlord is determined to use the private land as an intersection. In the future, we will not be able to decide clearly."
The whole land was deliberately built with houses.”
"...Hmm..." The old man nodded slightly, but Sun Jiming was already circling the car, and also put his head into the car to check, nodding and humming.
"Uncle Qu, you are so awesome. Now you even have a car." After going around in a circle, Boss Qiu was a little embarrassed when he finished speaking, and Sun Jiming immediately picked up.
"It's just so-so. I bought it with my own money and it's a second-hand car. However, this car was repaired by a company called Sihai Automobile Dealer. Their workmanship is really amazing. It's easier to drive than a new car..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He said this, but the corners of his mouth were already blooming with joy. He wanted to be low-key in his words, but as he said it, it turned into praise.
Sun Jiming also smiled and nodded in response. He stopped before he could finish his sentence and immediately said: "Uncle Qu, what I admire most is your strong and strong spirit. There are many cars in Shanghai, but in Shanghai, you can still learn to drive at your age. Then
There are really not many!”
"...It's exaggerated, it's exaggerated..." Qu Bo said modest words, but his face turned into a chrysanthemum. It was obvious that people just wanted to hear this. He probably just talked about the house and was just waiting to show off.
Where's the car!
"Okay, okay, let's go in and look at the goods..." After Qu Bo finished speaking, he walked towards the hotel with his head held high and his hands behind his back. There was no trace of disgust on his face.
"...Okay...I'll get you the tools!" Sun Jiming responded, walked back to the car, took out two small suitcases from the car, deliberately slowed down, and walked over to the negotiating man who came over to help him with a worried look on his face.
at the end.
"It's Qu Bo's usual temperament to save face and love to show off. It's okay. He just has a bit of an old naughty temperament. In business, he is very fair in dealing with things."
After Sun Jiming explained briefly, he walked into the hotel. Qu Bo had already put on a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and was looking at the fur on the counter. It was the rabbit skin that Sun Jiming was going to buy.
"Uncle Qu, what kind of rabbit skin do you think this is? They can't really tell."
Sun Jiming pointed at the snow-white bright rabbit skin and asked, "Looking at something like this, I felt it was unusual, so it would be better to ask."
"Snow rabbit skin, but the coat color is more special. It may be a unique rabbit breed produced in a certain area.
It may also be that winter comes early and late or other environmental reasons, causing problems when rabbits moult. Some rabbits have special changes in coat color that year, or even only for a short period of time that year.
This type of change is very common, just like the difference in the quality of fur is not small, it is the same, but these few changes make its fur appear higher and better quality.
This is the first time I have seen this kind of change. I guess it is not common or common. People who wear it can pursue its uniqueness, but for businessmen like us, the most it can do is to attract attention.
These can only produce one piece of fur at most. Based on my experience over the years, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get a second piece. It will not be able to do long-term business and it will be of little significance to the store."
Sun Jiming heard this and said with a smile: "Uncle Qu, don't pretend to be talking about business yet. I'm going to buy these, so don't make any decisions."
"Send it to that person?" Qu Bo obviously guessed what he planned to use it for! After thinking about it, he spoke.
"My store will give you free work, and you can display it in the store for half a month. Don't worry, I will tell others that the person has bought it, or that she will temporarily put it in the store for us to maintain. Look like this
Is that okay?”
Sun Jiming nodded, and the reason was that he chose the latter. People who buy high-end furs mostly do it to show off, and scarcity means showing off. The workmanship at Qu Bo's place can also be used to show off. Good materials and good workmanship complement each other.
"Then how much is it worth, and what kind of price is appropriate?" After further discussion, Sun Jiming also hurriedly inquired about the price.
“Rarity means value, but it fluctuates greatly, and a large part of the value is revealed. We have to rely on us to find customers who are willing to pay, and even conduct hype, tout and other publicity before we can sell it at a high price.
Therefore, in the leather goods stage, its price cannot be sold very high. All of these are more than ten times the price of ordinary rabbit skin, which is only ten or twenty yuan, but this is already a very generous price, because
Rabbit skin itself is very cheap.”
Sun Jiming looked at the negotiating man, who nodded in agreement and agreed with Uncle Qu that the transaction was fair.
Qu Bo nodded with satisfaction, saw the ordinary rabbit skins on the side, and said: "These are not bad. Rabbit skins are pure and cannot be sold at a high price, so they are of good quality. I have already let them be picked out in the first layer. I don't mind them."
You can use the stuff to make something for your own use.”
Sun Jiming nodded and asked the negotiating man to bring over the leather for sale. Qu Bo also took out a wooden ruler and other tools from a suitcase, measured, checked and quoted a price. If he agreed, he would write it down and discuss it if he had any objections. Fortunately, Qu Bo
It's really fair, it's basically done in one go, and it's very fast.
Of course, what we are talking about here are wolf skins, otter skins, fox skins, and mink skins that have clear market prices and can be sold at high prices. Almost every one of these is more expensive than the so-called special rabbit skins just now.
When sold in Shanghai, the price is indeed much higher than elsewhere, which puts a smile on the face of the negotiating man.
But! Qu Bo also explained the reason. The people who tanned and processed the leather goods were very skilled, which added a lot of points to these leather goods. Otherwise, it would be impossible to buy them all so happily.
After receiving the money, the negotiation man's attitude softened a lot. He rarely expressed a few words of curiosity to the ship boss and praised his craftsmanship.
