Chapter 102 Dark Mark
Sucheng mainly values the quantity and quality of customs confiscated items - rare imported and high-quality export products in China can be bought here, and the prices are cheap.
There are not many places in China where there are piles of foreign goods. Although it can be imported through oil fields, no matter how luxurious it is, it cannot use foreign exchange to provide benefits to employees.
At customs, not only can you buy imported goods in RMB, but the price is also quite cheap. The minimum price of belts is 8 yuan and the minimum price of leather bags is 17, which is only lower than that of domestic products. If others consider replacing the goods, they will no longer make any profit.
Chinese people are still solving the problem of food and clothing, and no international brand is worth the price. However, in terms of giving gifts, none of the two domestic leather bags are more conspicuous.
Su Cheng didn't want to turn New Year's goods into a trick to change customs. So he waved his pen and bought all the good things.
Wang Ting was not sensitive to prices, but was surprised by the amount written by Su Cheng. He had a total of 10,000 belts and 3,000 leather bags. He asked in a low voice: "Do you have so many people in your factory? Why do you feel like you need to equip an army?"
Su Cheng whispered: "In addition to being able to use belts and bags, they can also be used to give gifts. Who has few relatives and friends? Carrying out such belts is better than anything else. Light industry enterprises all send factory goods to workers. We can't send bolts. The average of 10,000 belts is only 2 for each person, which is not enough for their own family to replace them."
"I guess few people are willing to give such a good belt." Wang Ting said, leaned on the back of the chair and sighed: "It's silent, your factory is so big."
While speaking, the bidder was already on the stage.
The first item is ore that is exported to domestic sales. It is a standard confiscation, mainly coal, and tungsten ore and molybdenum ore... It has its own illegality. The price is the same, and the highest one is 10% higher than the lowest price. No matter how high it is, it is better for people to buy it directly from the origin.
Later, metal ingots and clothing fabrics are at most 15% above the base price. These are all scarce supplies. However, people who can come to the customs to buy bulk goods have their own ways and would rather not make money than make small money with cash.
The host was probably an official from the customs office. The bid was opened very quickly and he spoke very slowly. He reached the fifth and sixth bids in just a few seconds.
Sucheng bought belts and bags for more than 0.5 yuan and 0.8 yuan. Few people competed with him.
Wang Ting was worried for him and said, "How can you transport so many things back?"
"If the railway is tight, I will send a car from the factory to pull it." This is the passport mode of state-owned enterprises in the 1980s. Oil fields have to send cars to various places to raft specialties every year. Xinjiang's cantaloupe, sea and south bananas, come in this way. Everyone doesn't care about oil prices at all.
Wang Ting nodded: "I forgot that you bought something for the factory."
The clothes behind were very fine and Su Cheng was not interested at all. The two of them waited for a while and then headed to the dock behind.
The place where items are purchased privately is a warehouse. The selected products are piled up in densely, leaving only a passage for people to pass by. Whoever likes what, write down the number and set the price in front. If it is not bought by someone, just wait to get the goods after paying the money. Each brand is limited to purchase three items, and there are people selling the brand at the door.
This has not started yet, and there are already people queuing outside.
Seeing Xiaopang wandering sneakily in front of the door from a distance, Su Cheng called him over angrily and said, "Why don't you line up?"
"I bought a few brands." Xiaopang smiled at Wang Ting, took out a handful of signs from his pocket, and said with a smile: "Master, look, 8 brands here can buy 24 pieces, and add the two of you brands, which is exactly 30 pieces. Is it enough?"
"Not bad." Su Cheng patted Xiaopang's head and asked, "How much does a brand cost?"
“20.”
Wang Ting took a toothache and said, "You two masters and apprentices have recovered gold from the West."
All three of them laughed.
Su Cheng thought about it and said to Xiaopang again: "If you have a brand, buy a few more, and we will also buy some New Year's goods for our family."
Xiaopang said "Okay" and was about to run away.
Wang Ting grabbed him and said, "No hurry, 10 brands are enough, how many pieces do you want to buy?"
Xiaopang counted and said, "I want to buy more than a dozen pieces. I will give you two pieces to Dean Qin's house, send a few pieces to Beijing, and keep a few more."
Su Chengze said: "The electrical appliances at my house are enough. However, if it is cheap, I will leave a few to give them to my house and get a car to take them to my hometown."
After hearing what he said about a car, Wang Ting said with pain in his back of his teeth: "No need to buy any more brands, as long as there are no more than 100, I'll just go and tell me. Whoever really buys 30 brands will cost 600 yuan?"
Xiaopang repeatedly said yes and asked again: "Then we are queuing up now?"
"Let's go in first."
Wang Ting led the two of them to walk along the side of the warehouse. Not long after, he saw an old worker smoking in front of a temporarily opened small iron door.
"I was introduced by Han Laosi." Wang Ting went up and handed a cigarette.
The old worker didn't say anything, clamped the cigarette on his ear and opened the door.
There are already people wandering around inside, and these are the ones that go through the back door.
Xiaopang said excitedly: "Uncle Master really has a way."
This title made Wang Ting helpless and explained: "When he was in school, he went to customs with his family. At that time, he spent 200 yuan to buy a Mudan brand TV, and the three of them happily moved home. They are all using it now. How can they be like you?"
Words are filled with memories.
Su Cheng suddenly felt a little moved and said softly: "It's the New Year, I'll send something to my house."
The so-called timidity in the hometown. Although Sucheng inherited his body and memory, his feelings for the mountains and his hometown are incomplete. Sending money and stuff becomes a better choice.
Wang Ting knew about his family and patted Su Cheng on the shoulder.
The three of them stopped talking and tried hard.
Color TVs, refrigerators, Marlboro and Sanwu cigarettes are hot items in the warehouse. Many people write down their numbers and then price them. They don’t hesitate at all. They buy a thousand yuan in a tone and are still very happy.
In this era, very few people embezzled money. The biggest privilege of cadres is to buy good things at a low price. It is best for couples to save two years of salary and buy things that are originally priced at 2,000 yuan for 1,000 yuan. As a group of units, they are often used to creating such opportunities.
Su Cheng couldn't help but sigh at the purchasing power of urban residents in this era. Since the country is inclusive of birth, old age, sickness and death, everyone's savings are usually used to do big things - getting married, buying furniture, and buying electrical appliances are all in the category of doing big things.
Concepts such as saving money to support the elderly or preventing illness are not popular at this time.
In a maximum of 10 minutes, the three of them picked up the things. In fact, there was not much room for choice. The most affordable products were first bought by customs employees, and secondly, they had to send a batch to related units at all levels. There were not many low-priced and good-quality products left in the warehouse, and they were almost empty.
Wang Ting and Xiaopang bought less, and they were able to get it done after a few trips. Sucheng ran for two empty trips and simply set their goal on the highest priced goods. Sanyo refrigerator was snatched up, and there were always Mitsubishi refrigerators left, Japanese goods were gone, and there were always American goods...
This time, I used two and a half sacks of banknotes to buy them. At the exit, the goods I saw were really full of goods.
"I'll get my own back, you can watch it and play." Wang Ting pulled out his refrigerator and asked someone to help take it home.
At this time, the people queuing outside had not yet entered the warehouse.
Su Cheng also looked at the electrical appliances all over the ground with worry, rubbed his head and said, "Huang Ping, take the car back and take the repetitions I bought back."
"No problem." Huang Ping patted his chest and went to do business.
Su Cheng looked at the remaining piles and had no choice for a moment.
Wang Ting remembered this incident and found someone later and said, "This is Director Zhu of our Customs Transportation Department. He is in charge of water and land transportation. Please write a address to him and guarantee it will be delivered to him."
Su Cheng was shocked and smiled and said, "The road is a bit far."
"It's okay, I'm serving the leader, I'm afraid we won't be able to show our enthusiasm." Director Zhu smiled, mostly released to Wang Ting. For them, the boss Wang Ting served was their authentic leader.
"Thank you, Director Zhu." Su Cheng said while handing out the three packs of Chinese cigarettes he had with him.
For the wealthy customs, these three ** bags can only be considered a waste of fire, not a waste of service.
Director Zhu felt much better as a result. Seeing Su Cheng write down the address, he called the driver over to instruct him.
Su Cheng understood it and took a Marlboro he had just bought, stuffed it into the car, and said to the driver who came back, "It's a lot of burden on the road, so I can relieve my fatigue."
**The drivers in the 190s were quite awesome professions. The income was about five times that of Peking University professors and ten times that of government-level cadres. The income of customs drivers was naturally higher. Even so, the entire Marlboro still suppressed it like Wuzhishan.
The driver checked the tires with an iron rod in one hand and patted Su Cheng on the shoulder with the other, pledging: "Brother, don't worry, we ran over from the Qinghai-Tibet Line, and we will notify you if the goods arrive."
The shipping time is much longer than the purchase time, and it will be done thoroughly until dinner time.
Director Zhu took the opportunity to treat him. Several people sat in a circle, ate the seized caviar, drank pure foreign wine and fresh shrimps that had failed to export.
Director Zhu also pointed to the shrimp and said with a smile: "There are two results when studying abroad. One is to give it to foreigners for life; the other is to give it to Chinese people without success and dip it in soy sauce... There is no way, I wasted two days at the checkpoint and it is not so fresh."
Su Cheng smiled and suddenly remembered Jinan Power Machinery Factory, so he smiled and said, "Now there are fishing boats everywhere in the coastal areas. Are your anti-smuggling boats enough?"
"How can it be? There are shortages of ships everywhere now." Director Zhu was a clever man and asked with a smile: "Does Director Su do shipbuilding business?"
"Absolutely, let's make the engine." Su Cheng picked up the wine glass and touched it gently. (To be continued)
