Chapter 281 Zhijiang First Stop Wushang City
Chapter 281: The First Stop of Zhijiang - Wushang City
Wushang City is a county-level city under Wuzhou, Zhijiang. Although it is small and has a small population, it is very famous both at home and abroad and is known as the world's small commodity capital.
Most of the products here are produced by various factories in Zhijiang. They are very complete in variety, cheap in price and of good quality.
This is the first stop in Zhijiang that Chen Xi is going to. The two brothers Lu Chengxian and Lu Tengyang are the Wushang people.
"Ha, it's only been a short time since we last met, and you're so impatient to come and see me?" After getting off the plane, Chen Xi walked out with her luggage. Lu Chengxian had been waiting for a long time, and Lu Tengyang was standing next to him.
"I came here to do some work, and it's a good opportunity to see you guys. Hahaha." Chen Xi smiled and gave them a hug.
A Bentley drove over quickly. It was the car of Lu Chengxian's father. His family was the second largest sock company in Wushang City, and it could be said that it was also the second largest in China. His family was very powerful in the local area.
"Come and try our Wushang specialties." In a restaurant, Lu Chengxian enthusiastically introduced his hometown dishes to him.
Chen Xi had been here more than once before and was very familiar with the local food.
He still remembered that when Lu Chengxian got married, he ate several boiled eggs in sugar water at one time. It was said that this was the custom here, and it made him not want to eat eggs anymore.
"You have quite a lot of factories here. I have contacted several of them. The bosses are all very enthusiastic. I don't know which one to visit first." Chen Xi ate his food and told the destination of this trip. These factories are located in various places in Wushang City, including the towns below.
Many factories in Zhijiang are small workshops, and every household in the town and village is engaged in production. Although the output is not large, the products are still good, and they are all transported to the wholesale market in Wushang City for sale.
I remember that in my previous life, there were a lot of jokes on the Internet, saying that a new product had been released overseas, and that if Wu Shang was given a few days, he would be able to make something similar to yours.
Huaqiangbei ranks first in imitation ability for electronic products, and Wushang ranks first in small commodities.
"We are the world's wholesale market. The things you see outside that cost more than ten or dozens of yuan may only cost a few yuan or even a few cents here!"
At that time, e-commerce had not yet developed so dramatically, and those factory owners could still make a lot of money. It is said that e-commerce has ruined offline stores, but in fact, the factory owners are the ones who suffer the most.
With the increase in wages and benefits, and the gradual standardization of employee insurance in the country, the bosses who already had little profit were further cut by those who promoted the products, and their lives became quite difficult.
Don’t be fooled by those live streaming sales people who can sell so many products every time. In fact, those factory owners don’t make much money, but they still have to cooperate with them, otherwise they will be brought down by their competitors sooner or later.
In this involutionary model, the beneficiaries are all internet celebrities. Most factory owners cannot choose to close their businesses because their bank loans have not been repaid.
"I came here this time to get some materials. Xinlu City is going to undergo a major renovation, and I plan to supply materials to the companies that have won the projects."
"That's easy! I can get you anything you want. We have everything except illegal stuff."
Lu Chengxian patted his chest and assured.
A lot of materials are needed this time, that is, there are many kinds of lighting projects. Outdoor advertising also requires light box panels and other things, and the materials are also different, such as acrylic panels, polycarbonate panels, PVC panels, etc., as well as translucent films, light box strips...
Chen Xi's advertising company actually had fixed suppliers for these materials, but Chen Caiyue was very wealthy, and the prices those suppliers gave her were outrageous, but she actually paid for them all.
This time, we are supplying materials to other companies, so we naturally have to choose the most affordable ones and earn the difference. Anyway, the final payer of these projects is...
"Teng Yang, why do you look so listless?"
Chen Xi had noticed this guy a long time ago. From the first time they met until now, Lu Tengyang has always been absent-minded and depressed, and even at the dinner table he just ate a little bit casually.
"He's heartbroken." Lu Chengxian explained with a smile.
It turned out that after returning to China, Lu Tengyang was arranged by his family to work in a public institution.
In order to keep a low profile, his family only gave him a Toyota Crown to drive.
Lu Tengyang fell in love with a girl, but the girl was from another place and didn’t know that Lu Tengyang, who had just returned to China, was actually a rich second-generation. When she saw him driving that Toyota, she mistakenly thought he was a poor loser.
His family didn't give him much money, and his spending was limited every time he went out to play. After a while, the girl rejected Lu Tengyang's pursuit.
Chen Xi suddenly remembered that Lu Tengyang had experienced a broken heart before, which traumatized him. Later, he changed from a pure love warrior to a club warrior like Alin.
The same is true for Jin Yufeng. He became like this after failing to pursue Cheng Xihe, and he played even wilder than Lu Tengyang.
"Okay, don't be sad. When you have time, just ask Cheng Xian to take you to lose your virginity." Chen Xi patted the other person's shoulder jokingly.
"Here is the information of several material factories." He handed a list of factories to Lu Chengxian, who then picked up the phone and asked his friend.
"Tengyang! Don't marry a gold-digger. Just find a good girl. Your family is so well-off, are you still worried about not being able to find a wife?" While Lu Chengxian was on the phone, he started chatting with Lu Tengyang who was still depressed next to him.
"It's different. This is a heart-thumping feeling. I fell in love with her the moment I met her, and she's still a virgin." "Pfft~ If she says yes, then yes. You haven't tested it, so don't trust what women say."
Chen Xi, who was drinking tea, was choked by the other party's words. He knew that Lu Tengyang had always had a virgin complex, but he didn't expect that he was so naive in relationships between men and women.
"Hey~ I told her that my family is rich, but she didn't believe me and called me a loser. I'm poor but I'm still pretending to be cool."
This sounds a bit like Li Yuqing.
He thought about Lu Tengyang's experience, which was somewhat similar to his previous life. Many girls from ordinary families naturally don't want to live a hard life in the future and want to be with rich people. It's difficult to find a beautiful girlfriend without showing off your money. This is reality, and there is nothing you can do about it.
But she came for money, and if you don't have money, she will leave, that's how it was in her previous life. Being rejected by Li Yuqing, being hit to death by an air conditioner when going out, all these things seemed to be connected together and emerged in his mind.
Later, Lv Tengyang was different. Seeing that he was in a low mood, his family gave him a lot of money. He immediately upgraded his small guns to a big gun, bought a sports car, and then went to bars and clubs to spend money. The women who wanted to see him lined up and called him "Mr. Lv" when they met.
"I've contacted a few reliable companies for you. They're all acquaintances and the prices are negotiable. Most importantly, they have good character and a good reputation outside." After a while, Lu Chengxian put down his phone and turned to look at him.
"Okay, let's go take a look later. You are familiar with this place."
"Don't worry, my family is pretty well off in Wushang, and the factory owners all know my dad!"
Lu Chengxian made an OK gesture.
Factories in Wushang are generally located in several towns. There are various processing plants in Futang, Suxi, Shangxi, etc.
"The PMMA we have here is cheap and of good quality, and we even export it overseas!"
In a factory, the boss enthusiastically introduced his products to him. When he saw Lu Chengxian personally accompanying Chen Xi here, he knew that the other party was probably a big boss and this time it might be a large order.
“You can speak English too!”
"That's right. We are all in line with international standards. There are many foreigners coming to Wushang to buy goods."
Hearing Chen Xi's words, the boss raised his head proudly. In fact, he only graduated from junior high school and learned some words specially for his business.
PMMA is acrylic, also known as plexiglass.
The material is acrylic plastic, and its scientific name is polymethyl methacrylate.
It is mainly used in the construction industry, lighting projects, etc. This material is mostly used with an engraving machine. Chen Xi can just buy it and process it. He has as many machines as he needs at home, and can process in large quantities.
"We also provide other products here, such as UV glue, etc. These are products from surrounding factories. I will help promote them by the way." The boss added.
UV glue, also known as shadowless glue, is a special glue for acrylic.
It is said that people in Zhijiang are united in doing business, and it is true.
The small factories in the villages and towns here work together to keep each other warm. Unlike others, they do not fight against each other, but instead work in unity and cooperation.
"How is your production and inventory?"
"The production volume is definitely not low. This is the largest factory in Wushang, and we can definitely meet your needs. As for the inventory, we have a full range of products with thicknesses ranging from 1mm to more than 30mm, and we can also customize them."
The boss confidently pointed to the warehouses nearby, indicating that they were full of goods.
Chen Xi glanced at the several large warehouses over there. There were a lot of goods there, but it was far from enough for what he needed. Because the graphic store still needed to purchase goods, if the price here was cheap, he planned to purchase in bulk in the future.
"I need a large quantity. Is the quality of your products different from the imported ones? How do you calculate the price?"
"The quality is definitely guaranteed. We imitate imported acrylic. Although there is still some gap in quality, it is not big. The main thing is that the price is cheap. As for the price, it can be calculated by weight, by square meter or by number of sheets. It depends on how much you need. Your quantity is large, how large can it be? Aren't the things in my warehouses enough for you?" The boss looked at him in surprise. You know, his goods can be given to an advertising company and used for more than ten years.
"I have a chain of graphic stores that now cover two provinces. I have also taken on outdoor advertising projects across the city..."
"Oh my God! Please take a seat. This is a big deal. Let's sit down and talk. I'll treat you to seafood at the best restaurant in Wushang in the evening." When the boss heard that there was a big business, he immediately became excited.
If he takes on this big order from the other party, he will make a fortune.
