Chapter 991 The Eve of the Heavy Rain (7)
"…Well..." Sun Jiming touched his chin and thought, pointing to the last backpack.
"Those entries inside should look like tea leaves, right? Do you have anything to say?"
The negotiating man heard this and explained: "This is a tea-loving person on the boat. When he went to various places, he bought the tea he had stored. Although it was not famous or not, it tasted good, so he specially invited him to send some here."
After talking, the man negotiated to lift up the tea leaves in his backpack and asked Sun Jiming to help him take a look.
Without opening it, Sun Jiming just slightly uncovered the enclosed oil paper, sniffed the smell through the gap, and nodded.
"It's OK to smell it. Your brother should be quite familiar with tea. It's not famous tea, and these are definitely good teas! Just give me some of this."
Is tea good? It does not conflict with reputation or not. Famous tea is just a famous good tea. Even famous tea may be mixed with mud and sand, while good tea is buried in the mountains. Why bother too much?
The two talked about some details again, and Sun Jiming went to the store where the phone was installed next to him, and talked for a while.
As for the negotiating man, he was a little worried about leading the way. He went into the kitchen and took a look. The other party was already washing and soaking. The so-called tree flowers were gone. He spoke, but unfortunately he didn't care at all.
...
"What's the situation?" Boss Qian still looked idle, crossing his legs and asking his subordinates who were inquiring.
"Brother Qian, the man followed him around to the dock. Someone was waiting there and asked about the people around him, saying that it seemed to be the other person, who rented a boat in Wujiang, and there were people from the boatmen on the boat, responsible for watching the boat and picking them up.
It was too far away, and the people below didn't follow him, but after asking around, someone still had some impression of them. According to the description, it didn't seem to be any problem.
I waited until three or four o'clock in the afternoon to return. I carried a few large baskets on my back. It looked quite heavy. After entering the hotel, there was no movement. Brother Sun came out alone and went to the shop next to me and called.
According to the situation discovered, it seems that a batch of fur worth thousands is going to be sold. It is probably those who want to take action and ask Brother Sun to introduce these ways.
For such a large amount of things, I feel that their suspicion has increased, but I have personally heard about the situation on the dock, and it is not as fake as it is…”
"Tell me carefully about the situation." Qian Qigui spoke, not directly listening to his subordinates' ideas.
"...None of these can mean anything..." After hearing this, Qian Qigui shook his head.
"On the dock, they could have guessed that we would check it out, and they started pretending to behave. Similarly, the amount of goods worth thousands sounded quite large, but their entire fleet had dozens of people.
After inquiring, it was normal for these people to travel to Shangshan Mountain in various places during the transportation of goods. It was normal for them to have a batch of mountain goods in their hands. It was worth thousands of things, and it was converted to each person's head, but only a hundred or tens. After deducting the cost, each person was only a few dozen.
This amount is not enough for Shanghai workers to work for a few months! So it doesn’t explain any problem, nor does it prove anything, and it doesn’t even have the basis for your doubts.”
After hearing this, his subordinate scratched his head and asked carefully: "Brother Qian, could someone deliberately use this ambiguous message to deliberately mislead and restrain us with these people?"
Qian Qigui heard this and replied: "It doesn't make sense to worry about these things, so I'd better keep watching!"
After hearing this, his subordinates scratched their heads, took a break and left. Qian Qigui drank a cup of tea before he made a call and told the past in detail.
After reporting, Qian Qigui waited quietly, and a sound came out after a while.
"Based on the information you provided, I have no way to judge the other party's identity. The main reason is that the other party's spy in Shanghai ended, and immediately became silent, at least we could hardly find out about the news.
If we don’t understand their goals and what actions they will take, we will not be able to infer their whereabouts, and it will be difficult to judge them through superficial information..."
"That's not what I should worry about. I just want to know how you need me to do it."
Qian Qigui interrupted the other party's long speech and asked directly.
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment before saying, "Okay! I don't look for reasons to talk nonsense. The information is limited, and I have no way to judge. Keep staring, but don't forget to look for other clues."
"Then don't forget what you promised to do for me!" Qian Qigui replied calmly and coldly, and hung up the phone directly.
Then he called another one, and when Maeda answered the phone, he changed into a flattering tone and reported the situation in detail.
"These situations do not mean anything, and there is no need to be entangled. Keep staring at the other party and have any suspicious actions."
"…Yes…" Qian Qigui agreed in an excited and high-spirited tone, and nodded on the other side, and hung up the phone after giving a few words of advice on routine.
...
A T-car with a tent and a small light truck parked on the side of Min'an Hotel. Sun Jiming quickly brought people to greet him.
"Boe Qu, your speed is really fast. I'm sorry to have a trip this time. Please come inside?"
Standing by the car, the energetic old man nodded slightly, but did not leave, but frowned and looked at the hotel in front of him.
"Why is this house so strange? It takes up so many intersections, how inconvenient is it to drive?" The old man spoke, as if he was a little dissatisfied.
When Boss Qiu heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and explained: "The houses occupied are all private land, and the two crossings are planned common land. The landlord is determined to give up his private land to be an intersection. If he can't make a clear decision in the future, he deliberately built all the land."
"…Well..." The old man nodded slightly, and Sun Jiming had already circled around the car, and he leaned his head into the car to check, nodding and humming.
"Brother Qu, you are so awesome. Now you have even equipped your car." After a walk around, Boss Qiu was a little embarrassed as soon as he finished speaking, Sun Jiming immediately picked it up.
"It's average, I bought it myself and it's a second-hand one. However, this car was repaired by a company called Sihai Cars. The craftsmanship is really amazing. It's easier to drive than a new car..."
That's what I said on my lips, but the corners of my mouth were already happy. I wanted to keep a low profile in my words, but as I spoke, it turned into praise.
Sun Jiming also smiled and nodded in response. After he stopped, he immediately said, "Bo Qu, what I admire most is that your old age is getting stronger and stronger. There are many cars in Shanghai, but in Shanghai, you can still learn to drive at this age, and that's really not many!"
"...It's exaggerating..." Qu Bo said modest words, but his face was filled with joy. It was obvious that people just wanted to hear this. I guess the house was just a mess, and I was just waiting to show off his car!
"Okay, okay, go in and see the goods..." After saying that, Qu Bo said, with his hands behind his back, his head held high and his chest raised, with no disgust on his face.
"...Okay...I'll get you the tools!" Sun Jiming responded, walked back to the car, took two small suitcases from the car, deliberately slowed down, and walked at the end with the man who was worried about his face.
"I'm so proud of my face and love to show off. This is Qu Bo's usual temperament. It's okay, just a bit of an old naughty boy. In terms of business, he is very fair in his business."
After Sun Jiming gave a brief explanation, he stepped into the hotel. Qu Bo had already put on a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked at the fur on the counter. It was the rabbit skin that Sun Jiming was going to buy.
"Qu Bo, do you think what kind of rabbit skin is this? They can't say much."
Sun Jiming pointed to the snow-white and bright rabbit skin and asked. He felt that this thing was unusual when he looked at it, so it would be better to ask clearly.
"Snow rabbit skin, but the fur color is quite special. It may be a unique rabbit species produced in a certain area.
It may also be because of the early and late winter or other environmental reasons that some rabbits change their hair. Some rabbits had special changes in the color of their furs back then, and it may even be like this for a short period of time back then.
This type of change is very common, such as the quality of the fur is quite different, and the same is true, but the changes of these few make the fur show higher and better quality.
I have seen this kind of change for the first time. I guess it is not common or not. People who wear clothes can pursue their uniqueness, but for businessmen like us, at most, they can attract attention.
At most, I can make one piece of fur. With my experience over the years, it is probably difficult to get a second piece. I cannot do a long-term business and it means little to the store."
Upon hearing this, Sun Jiming smiled and said, "Bo Qu, don't take the initiative to discuss business. These are what I plan to buy, so don't make any decisions."
"Who is giving it to me?" Qu Bo obviously guessed what he was going to use for! After thinking about it, he spoke.
"My store will work for you for free, and you will be able to display it in the store for half a month. Don't worry, you will inform others that they have been purchased by that person, or that she will temporarily put it in the store for us to maintain it. Do you think this is OK?"
Sun Jiming nodded, and chose the latter because of the reason. Most of the people who buy high-end furs are used to show off. Scarce is used to show off. Qu Bo’s worker can also be used to show off. Good materials and good crafts complement each other.
"Then how much is it worth, what kind of price is appropriate?" After further discussion, Sun Jiming hurriedly inquired about the price.
"Rarity means value, but it fluctuates greatly, and a large part of the value is presented. We have to find customers who are willing to pay, and even hype, flatter and other promotions before we can sell at a high price.
So in the fur stage, the price cannot be sold very high. All of these add up to more than ten times the price of ordinary rabbit skin, and it 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, and the negotiating man nodded directly, and responded to the justice of this Qu Bo's business.
Qu Bo nodded with satisfaction and saw the ordinary rabbit skin on one side, saying, "These are not bad either. The rabbit skin is mixed with skins and cannot be sold at a price, so the quality is good. I have been sought after by many times. I don't mind it. These things can be used for something for your own use."
Sun Jiming nodded and asked the man who negotiated to take the sold skin over. Qu Bo also took out a wooden ruler and other tools from a suitcase, conducted measurements and checked and quoted. He agreed and wrote it down and discussed it again if he had any objections. Fortunately, Qu Bo was indeed very fair, and he basically passed it all over again and it was very fast.
Of course, what we are talking about here are yellow wolf skins, otter skins, fox skins, and mink skins, which have clear market prices and can be sold at prices. Almost every piece of these is more expensive than the so-called special rabbit skins just now.
Selling in Shanghai is indeed much higher than other places, making the negotiation man full of smiles.
But! Qu Bo also talked about the reason. People who tanned and processed furs have good skills, which gave them a lot of points. Otherwise, it would be unlikely that they would buy them all so happily.
