Chapter 240 Return to Beijing
Shen Xiaoxia stayed in Huidong County for two days and sold more goods than she had originally expected. After deducting the cost, she earned more than 1,500 yuan.
This amount of money may not be much compared to her overall savings, but for those workers who earn only a few dozen yuan, this amount is probably their income for two years.
Over the next few weekends, Shen Xiaoxia traveled back and forth between several cities around Shenzhen.
The workers in the Dongguan factory were particularly fond of electronic watches. The twenty watches she had prepared were sold out in the morning. She took out another batch from the space under the pretext of selling them. In addition to electronic watches, a lot of men's clothes, women's clothes, and glasses were also sold.
People in Shan City seem to be particularly fond of fashionable floral skirts and jeans. A lady with curly hair bought five skirts at one time, saying that they were for her friends, and her friends would definitely like them too.
Guangshi is the largest, but also has the strictest management. Once, just as she had set up her stall, she saw people in blue uniforms walking towards her. Seeing the other people setting up stalls running, she was so scared that she grabbed the plastic sheet and ran after them. Her heart was still pounding as she hid in the alley.
Every time she finished selling goods, she would go around the local area and buy Casio calculators, imported candies, nylon socks, dual-cassette tape recorders, imported polyester fabrics, colorful diamond-studded plastic hairpins, imitation Hong Kong-style artificial leather handbags, plastic folding combs with mirrors, folding automatic nylon umbrellas, etc. These things are rare in the north, and Shen Xiaoxia bought a lot of them and put them in her space.
Before returning to Beijing, Shen Xiaoxia went to Wang Hongmei's shop again.
The day she went there, Wang Hongmei's shop had just received a new batch of summer clothes, which were hung all over the store in colorful colors.
After they chatted for a while, Shen Xiaoxia said, "Sister Hongmei, my exchange course at Shenzhen University will end next week, and then I will return to Beijing."
She wiped the sweat off her face and took out a list from her bag. "Before I leave, I want to get some more goods to send back."
She took a lot of things this time, some of which she planned to send back and some of which she planned to store in her space.
Wang Hongmei took the list, looked at it carefully, and then fiddled with the beads on the abacus. "Okay, I'll ask them to prepare the goods you want in advance."
After calculating the bill, he reported the price to Shen Xiaoxia and asked, "Will you come here again in the future?"
Shen Xiaoxia thought for a moment and said, "I don't think he'll be here in the near future."
Wang Hongmei tapped the numbers on the calculator. "So what will you do in the future..."
Shen Xiaoxia understood her implication, "Sister Hongmei, this time I came here, in addition to placing an order, I also want to discuss something with you...!"
Wang Hongmei smiled and said, "You say."
Shen Xiaoxia said, "Sister Hongmei, can we continue to cooperate in the future?"
Without waiting for Wang Hongmei to ask, she continued, "We'll contact each other by phone later. I'll transfer the money to you. Is that okay?"
Wang Hongmei hesitated a little, "This...!"
"Sister Hongmei," Shen Xiaoxia looked at her, "we've known each other for a few months now. I believe you have a certain understanding of me. I also want to do this business for a long time. When you place an order later, I will give you a 50% deposit first, and the remaining 50% will be paid immediately after I receive the goods. Do you think this is feasible?"
Wang Hongmei was also a straightforward person. After hearing what Shen Xiaoxia said, she didn't hesitate for too long. "Okay, then I'll consider it as my friend, but..."
Shen Xiaoxia immediately responded, "You said..."
Wang Hongmei asked, "You said you were a student at Peking University, right?"
Shen Xiaoxia nodded, "Yes, Sister Hongmei."
She took out her Beijing University student ID and handed it to Wang Hongmei. "You can take a look at this. This is my student ID. It has a stamp on it. It can't be faked!"
Wang Hongmei took it and looked at it carefully, confirming that there was no problem. She then said, "At the beginning, I can't give you too much goods. After all, I am also taking risks."
Shen Xiaoxia could understand, "Okay."
It's just during this period before graduation. Later, when she has more free time and really needs a large amount of goods, she can just make a trip.
After discussing the details of the cooperation, Wang Hongmei handed her a booklet and said, "By the way, here's the latest clothing styles in Hong Kong. You can take a look at them."
Shen Xiaoxia thanked her and put the booklet away.
The two chatted for a while, and before leaving, Wang Hongmei stuffed two silk scarves into her hand, "This is for you, a parting gift."
The day before leaving, Shen Xiaoxia called Jiang Yan and told him the time she would be returning. Since she had to go back, they didn't talk much on the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Xiaoxia began to pack her luggage. Most of her things were in the space, and in her luggage bag there were only a few sets of clothes and gifts for Jiang Yan, Han Zhuxin and others.
The goods she bought wholesale in Shenzhen in the past few months were neatly stacked in a corner of the space. It was quite spectacular at first glance!
Because the train tickets for the return trip were purchased in bulk, they were all seat tickets. It took more than 30 hours to travel from Shenzhen to Beijing.
When the train arrived at the station, Shen Xiaoxia breathed a sigh of relief. Even though she had to get up and move around every few hours, her feet were still swollen and she felt very tired.
I got off the bus with my luggage and saw Jiang Yan's familiar figure on the platform from afar.
He was wearing a neat white shirt, which made him stand out in the crowd.
To her surprise, in addition to Jiang Yan, Han Zhuxin and He Tingyuan were also there.
"Xia Xia! Here!" Han Zhuxin waved his arms and jumped and shouted.
Shen Xiaoxia walked over quickly, but before she could even stand still, Han Zhuxin hugged her. "Xia Xia, I missed you so much! How is it? Is Shenzhen fun?"
Jiang Yan reached out and took the luggage from Shen Xiaoxia, his eyes filled with a gentle smile, "Are you tired? Let's go eat first."
Han Zhuxin continued, "Yes, yes, let's go eat first and talk while we eat."
The four of them found a restaurant. It was dinner time and the hall was crowded with people. Waiters were walking around with plates in their hands.
I found a seat by the window and ordered braised pork, Kung Pao chicken and some seasonal side dishes.
"Tell me quickly, what is the Shenzhen Stock Exchange like?" Han Zhuxin asked impatiently, with curiosity shining in her eyes.
Shen Xiaoxia took a sip of soda and told them about her experiences in Shenzhen, "Construction is going on everywhere in Shenzhen, and the scaffolding is densely packed.
People on the street are also dressed very fashionably, with many Hong Kong-style styles..."
"I heard that you can buy imported goods there?" He Tingyuan picked up a piece of chicken and asked curiously.
"Yes, there are electronic watches, tape recorders and so on." Shen Xiaoxia took out the prepared gifts from her bag, "I brought some small gifts for you."
Han Zhuxin took the gift box that Shen Xiaoxia handed to her, opened it and looked at it, and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! It's beautiful, I like it!"
Shen Xiaoxia prepared two silk scarves, two pairs of earrings, two pairs of earrings, a pearl necklace and a silver bracelet for her.
She put on the silver bracelet and waved it in front of He Tingyuan. "Does it look good?"
He Tingyuan smiled and nodded, praising, "It looks good."
Shen Xiaoxia handed the gift to He Tingyuan. He Tingyuan took it and thanked him, "Thank you, Xia Xia."
Jiang Yan kept looking at Shen Xiaoxia with a smile, and picked up some food for her from time to time.
Shen Xiaoxia also took out the gift she wanted to give him, "Ayan, this is for you."
Jiang Yan took it and said, "Thank you, Xia Xia."
He didn't open it, planning to look at it later when he got back.
After dinner, He Tingyuan and Han Zhuxin had other things to do, so they said goodbye and left. Jiang Yan sent Shen Xiaoxia back to the courtyard to rest.
The shadows of the sycamore trees by the road were stretched out long by the sunlight. The two people walked side by side, their shadows overlapping on the ground.
Jiang Yan looked at Shen Xiaoxia's tired expression and felt distressed. "I have cleaned your room and changed the quilt covers. Go get some sleep when you go back."
Shen Xiaoxia was indeed tired, but after sitting on the train for such a long time, she wanted to take a shower before going to bed, otherwise she would feel uncomfortable.
When they arrived at the courtyard, Jiang Yan asked Shen Xiaoxia to rest first while he went to boil some hot water for her.
After washing up, Shen Xiaoxia went into the room to rest, and Jiang Yan also returned to his own room.
Now that Shen Xiaoxia has returned, he has moved back from school.
