After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

At dinner time, Xia Ran chose a crowded restaurant and ordered a steamed yellow croaker, a fish cake, a duck tongue, and a seafood porridge, all of which are local specialties and the restaurant's main dishes.

Listen to the locals chatting while waiting for your meal.

To be honest, these dishes are all very good. The steamed yellow croaker is fresh, tender and sweet without any fishy smell.

The fish cakes are tender and savory, and most importantly, they are easy to use as you don’t have to worry about fish bones.

The duck tongue was particularly chewy and tough. Xia Ran ordered the spicy version, which was very delicious. She packed up two more portions before leaving.

The taste of the seafood porridge was a bit mixed, but it was warm and comfortable after entering the stomach. Xia Ran was particularly satisfied with this meal.

We returned to our destination and settled down early.

The next morning, Xia Ran didn't have time to eat breakfast and went to the pier. This was what she had specifically inquired about yesterday.

Go early to buy the freshest seafood.

Of course, she had no plans to buy anything today, she just wanted to look around, and thought she had come early enough, but it turned out that the place was already crowded with people.

A fishy smell hit me in the face, which was a bit unusual.

As basket after basket of fish were brought ashore, people gathered around, all watching and selecting the goods.

Some of the wealthy families here will choose first, and the price will be the best in this case.

Next, the owners or chefs of nearby restaurants and hotels will come to select the ingredients for the day, and the prices for this part are also good.

The remaining fish will usually be packaged together and sold cheaply to seafood store owners they are familiar with.

That is, middlemen, and these middlemen are very powerful both in terms of financial resources and connections.

Xia Ran squeezed in the crowd, mainly looking at the quality and listening to the price. The seafood prices are all real-time prices, which are also related to the weight of the fish itself. This is the first time Xia Ran has paid attention to this, and it sounds quite complicated.

Moreover, these people negotiate the price on the spot. If they reach an agreement, they take it away. If not, they continue to negotiate with others.

If the negotiations fail, the remaining items will be sold wholesale to seafood store owners, or the ones that cannot be sold will be kept for their own consumption.

Xia Ran squeezed in the crowd, looked here and there, and listened to most of what was said.

I also specifically asked a fisherman, and he said that there would be another batch of goods coming ashore at night, so if I wanted them, I could come back at night.

Xia Ran returned to where she lived, took a shower, changed her clothes, and began to visit these shoe factories.

I also saw the legendary cardboard leather shoes.

When Xia Ran mentioned the shoes that fell apart after just a few days of wearing, Boss Chen said he felt very wronged and explained helplessly:

“Those cardboard shoes are disposable shoes, specially placed on foreign beaches to be worn. If they are bought for ordinary people in our country, it would be strange if they can be worn for a long time.

I can sell you shoes like that for 4 yuan a pair, and if the quantity is large enough, I can sell them for 3.5 yuan a pair. You say, some merchants sell such cheap goods in the mainland for tens of yuan, you say, it would be strange if the people didn't complain.

That's a one-time thing.

Just like those sunglasses and harem glasses, they are also disposable items sold on the beach. You get what you pay for, and you can't sell those disposable items as high-quality goods.

We are not wronged. We have good products here. As long as you are willing to pay, we have products of all qualities and styles. We guarantee that they look no different from the genuine products. "

"I see." That's it.

"Don't worry about the quality and style. We are in this business and we are professional in replicating those things."

Xia Ran wanted a large quantity, large size, and a lot of materials. After stating his requirements, he asked the other party to take the materials and quote a price.

"I need a large quantity, so I need to shop around. And this is only the first batch, so I will need more later."

“How big is a large amount?”

"There is no limit. I want as much as you can produce."

"Are you sure you can eat it?" Director Chen felt that this was not reliable.

"I can eat it, but I just want it to be of good quality and cheap."

Director Chen complained in his heart when he heard this, knowing that these businessmen were more ruthless than each other and all wanted to get a bargain.

“When will payment be made?”

"The payment will be made immediately after the goods are inspected. However, if defective products are found in the later sales process, three times the compensation will be required. This must be agreed upon in advance. Of course, this is to prevent villains. Gentlemen do not need to worry or feel burdened."

"If the deal is not concluded, you will need to pay a 30% advance payment. Is that okay?"

"30% is too high. I can pay 20% as an advance payment. This is how I cooperate with other large companies."

Director Chen asked tentatively to see if the other party had the ability.

As for the 20% advance payment, he could accept it. There were also people who placed orders with him on a regular basis who paid even less.

There are even some that were owed on credit in the early stages, so the proportion is already very high.

"Okay," he said, and then he quoted the price carefully.

As for what the other party said about unlimited quantity, he didn't really believe it at all.

But when business comes to your doorstep, there’s no reason to miss it.

Xia Ran visited all the small workshops and factories here.

Finally, I received a thick quotation list. After thinking about it, I set my sights on several large manufacturers.

I started visiting one company after another. I went to several large factories and found that some were flooded and some were dying from drought.

Factories with many orders need to be booked in advance, and they can only ship after a while. The prices of such factories are particularly high.

Factories with fewer orders can start production immediately. Of course, such factories also offer very favorable prices.

Of course, Xia Ran also paid special attention to the styles.

However, the styles at that time were all similar, and sports shoe factories all made shoes based on those of Adidas and Nike.

The styles of leather shoes are modeled after those of brands like Lao Ren Tou.

Of course, Xia Ran also got the purchase price from these factories.

After yesterday's price inquiry, Xia Ran had a basic understanding of shoes.

She needs to find out more about the specific conditions of these factories before making a final decision.

In the following time, Xia Ran wandered around the city and of course chatted with the local people.

We mainly talked about the situation of these factories. One was to inquire about the quality of these products, and the other was to inquire about the personalities of the factory leaders.

For the first three days, Xia Ran basically spent his time wandering around the streets.

I compared and analyzed the data everyone reported, and after making a choice in my mind, I began to formally negotiate prices and place orders.

Their quote was just a quote. Xia Ran naturally lowered the final price again and again before discussing and signing the contract.

Of course, the reason why the other party is willing to compromise is that the quantity is large enough and the payment method is good.
