I was a daigou in the 60s

"My name is Yu Hui. I hope you can give me guidance in the future."

"Hello."

Xiao Dongqing responded politely.

But deep down, I don't take this kind of compliment seriously, and always feel that it's a routine.

But he still shook hands with the other party steadily.

Yuhui seemed to have noticed something.

I was secretly happy, as if my plan was going according to plan.

Xiao Dongqing smiled slightly and said with a hint of self-mockery.

"In fact, that is just the experience accumulated over a long period of time."

"Without adequate preparation, how could I dare to try something here?"

"I have conducted a detailed analysis of the market characteristics of each city."

Xiao Dongqing answered calmly.

Curiosity and anticipation flickered in Yuhui's eyes.

“Can you tell me more about your business philosophy?”

“In industrial areas, where there are many factories and a high turnover of people, it is suitable for affordable fast food;”

"In commercial areas, people are more pursuing quality of life."

"For example, healthy snacks like fruit salad can attract a lot of customers."

Xiao Dongqing explained.

"What is Fruit Salad?"

Sunset looked confused.

“It’s fresh fruit cut into pieces and served with juice or dairy products.”

“It makes for a refreshing snack that’s perfect for the modern urban palate.”

Xiao Dongqing answered patiently.

Yu Hui was stunned when she heard this. She had never expected the person in front of her.

He has such profound business insight.

He had originally come here with a tentative attitude, but now he felt very surprised.

"Mr. Xiao, I have a question, which may be a bit presumptuous."

Yu Hui hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak.

"Excuse me."

Xiao Dongqing encouraged.

"I remember you didn't care about it before, and you often spent money on wine and women. This doesn't seem to go well with business."

Sunset asked cautiously.

Xiao Dongqing smiled. He understood the other party's doubts, but he chose to respond positively.

"Do I look like that kind of person now?"

"Also, what's most important for a businessman is vision and decision-making, not past labels."

Yu Hui was a little embarrassed by these words and could only agree with them.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Xiao is right. I was not thoughtful enough."

"Actually, I came to you today to discuss investment cooperation."

When Xiao Dongqing heard the word "investment", he immediately paid close attention and asked further questions.

"What kind of investment?"

"Recently, while traveling abroad, I discovered a doll that was supposedly not for sale had appeared on the market."

"I thought this might be a good opportunity to get a bargain, so I bought up all the stock at a high price."

"I think these dolls will appreciate in value in the future, so I would like to invite Mr. Xiao to invest with me and share the profits."

Xiao Dongqing instantly understood that this routine seemed outdated now.

I heard from my wife Su Zhilan before that the boss of her textile factory was cheated because of this.

When Yu Hui mentioned this opportunity, Xiao Dongqing immediately expressed doubt.

"I'm the first person you think of when it comes to such a good thing?"

"Why don't you handle it yourself?"

Yu Hui explained, "He has already lost everything on these dolls and is in urgent need of cash flow."

"Although I believe the dolls have the potential to appreciate in value, I am currently heavily in debt and have no choice but to seek a partner."

Xiao Dongqing seemed a little shaken and asked to see the real thing.

When Sunset took out a pink pony stuffed animal for him.

Xiao Dongqing frowned after just one look.

Apparently, the quality of the doll was far below his expectations.

The rough material and uncomfortable touch made him feel dissatisfied.

He quickly saw through Yu Hui's intentions and was not fooled by his sweet words.

"How can you guarantee that this thing will make money if it's so poorly made?"

Xiao Dongqing questioned.

Yu Hui wanted to convince him by the future appreciation potential, but Xiao Dongqing didn't buy it.

He directly rejected Yu Hui, pointing out that this was not a non-saleable item at all.

It was an obvious scam, and he would not be deceived like Cao Yuanhua.

Yu Hui responded calmly, pretending to be confident.

"You don't know your business. Don't regret it if you miss this opportunity."

After saying that, Yu Hui left a business card and left.

In fact, Yu Hui knew that Xiao Dongqing would not be easily fooled.

But I still hope that he will change his mind after thinking about it.

However, Mr. Xiao is not someone who can be easily deceived.

Xiao Dongqing not only found that the business card he left behind was strikingly similar to the business cards given by other scammers.

He also realized that an organized fraud ring was targeting him.

He decided to wait and see, waiting for the next scammer to come.

In order to collect more evidence and report to the police.

Sure enough, just as Xiao Dongqing expected, someone came to the door again not long after.

Half an hour later, a black antique car stopped steadily in front of the store.

In this era, this type of car is not only a symbol of wealth.

It also represents identity and status, which is not something ordinary people can possess.

Xiao Dongqing's attention was attracted by the car.

I saw a couple slowly walking out of the car, hand in hand, with elegant steps.

They wore custom-made gowns, each stitch and thread exuding nobility and refinement.

It was obvious that the couple were not locals but visitors with exotic customs.

As soon as I stepped into the store, the lady started speaking in not very fluent Chinese.

"Thank God you're still here, sir."

"Excuse me, can I buy a pink pony plush here?"

Xiao Dongqing smiled slightly and replied.

"No, but I might know where to find it."

His English surprised the couple.

It's not common to meet people who speak English in this small town.

The lady was unable to understand what Xiao Dongqing meant for a moment.

She simply nodded and gave her husband a questioning look.

The husband was equally confused, but soon both of them realized.

Xiao Dongqing may have misunderstood their intentions.

"We are not here to sell anything," the lady explained hurriedly.

"We wanted to buy some things."

She took out a pink pony doll from her bag, showed it to Xiao Dongqing, and explained it.

"This is an important souvenir of our country and should not be circulated in the market."

“Now we need to buy back these dolls at a high price.”

Xiao Dongqing took the doll, looked at it carefully, and asked curiously.

"How much are you willing to pay?"

"Five dollars each."

The lady answered seriously.

"Five dollars?"

Xiao Dongqing pretended to be surprised.

"So expensive?"

"Indeed, sir, it's to ensure these special dolls return to their rightful place."

The lady explained, then put the doll back into her bag and handed Xiao Dongqing a business card.

"If you have any information about pink ponies, please contact me and we will buy them all."

After saying that, the lady turned around gracefully and said to her husband.

"Jenny, let's go."

Jenny nodded politely, took his wife's hand, and got back into the antique car.

With the roar of the engine, the car gradually drove away and disappeared from Xiao Dongqing's sight.
