Reborn Great Nation Craftsman

Chapter 149 The 80s also had purchasing agents (seeking a monthly pass)

"Thunder Monkey!" Zhang Junping spoke in poor Cantonese Mandarin.

"Hello, comrade, what do you want to buy?" A young and beautiful girl asked enthusiastically.

The service attitude of the Friendship Store is comparable to the commercial places of later generations.

"If not, then..."

After some magical operations, Zhang Junping successfully packaged the linen from the Friendship Store.

Counting the exchange of foreign exchange certificates, the final purchase price was at least five times more expensive.

The slogan of the Friendship Store is that we want the best products on the market; we must have the products that are not in the market; we must have the foreign fashionable products!
However, its price is often the most expensive. It is normal to be several times more expensive than the market price of the place of origin, and the most expensive can be more than ten times more expensive.

"Trouble Lei, don't take a look."

"Then one!"

"Then one!"

Zhang Junping bought two sewing machines. Although they are a bit more expensive than others, the advantage is that they do not need industrial coils.

Finally, Zhang Junping bought Huang Xue a light gray woolen lady's coat, a black turtleneck camel hair sweater, a pair of jeans, and a pair of riding boots.

I also bought myself a woolen trench coat of the same style as the Prime Minister in navy blue, a light gray turtleneck camel hair sweater, a pair of jeans, and a pair of leather boots.

Huang Xue's birthday is approaching, and she bought a Cartier lady's watch for Huang Xue as a birthday present.

It's not that I don't want to buy a pair of couple watches, but I really can't afford it.

Just like that, Zhang Junping spent all of the 1 yuan in foreign exchange certificates.

He went out and ordered a tricycle. Under the astonished eyes of the salesperson, Zhang Junping instructed the owner of the tricycle in fluent Beijing dialect to move the things to the tricycle, and then walked away.

Go back to DreamWorks first and hide the clothes and watches in the cabinet.

Then he led the tricycle to Liulichang.

"Brother, you are so awesome, you can get so many things from the Friendship Store." The middle-aged man waiting for the tricycle was very talkative, and his mouth was not idle along the way.

"As long as you have foreign exchange certificates, buying things is not easy."

"That's not the same, the common people have foreign exchange certificates, and it's not easy to use them, and they can't get in.

If you want to go in, you must either be a foreigner, or an overseas Chinese, or you have a letter of introduction for going abroad on business, or you must be a big leader. "

"Impossible? If that's the case, why are there still so many people collecting foreign exchange certificates?" Zhang Junping naturally knew what the tricycle owner said, otherwise he wouldn't pretend to be a compatriot from Xiangjiang to go shopping, but in order to cater to the tricycle owner, Zhang Junping Still asked on purpose.

"You don't know that, do you? As long as you have foreign exchange certificates, although you can't enter the Friendship Store, you can buy the same things, but it will cost you a little more..."

"You mean someone dumped stuff from the Friendship Store for sale?"

"No, it's a purchasing agent. There are people who specialize in this business. If you want to buy something, he will help you go in and buy it."

Unexpectedly, in the 80s, the term Daigou appeared, and some people made a living as a purchasing agent.

"Who is in this business?" Zhang Junping asked casually.

Zhang Junping is not surprised at all. As long as there is demand, there will be a market. Even in the late 60s and early 70s, when the domestic situation was the most tense, there were still people reselling food coupons.

"Who else is there, just those foreign students. You say it's not good to learn, but you have to learn from others." The tricycle owner's words were full of sourness.

In this regard, foreign students really have a unique advantage that others cannot envy.

Chatting with the owner of the tricycle all the way, Zhang Junping felt that his eyes were really opened and he gained a lot of knowledge.

Calling people to move things into the warehouse, before Zhang Junping could catch his breath, the eldest brother-in-law came again.

"Pingzi, there are not many springs left, so hurry up and get some springs in."

"Got it, I'll go straight into the springs tomorrow morning."

There are two kinds of sofas designed by Zhang Junping, one is a fabric sofa with sponge stuffed inside, and the other is an ordinary sofa with spring coils inside.

First fix the spring coil to the wooden board, then wrap it with burlap and thin sponge, and finally cover it with leather.

From the very beginning, Zhang Junping developed on the road of high-end sofas, and the leather used is of course not artificial leather, but genuine genuine leather.

To put it bluntly, the sofa he designed will not be outdated in 30 years.

Fortunately, things like spring coils and leather don't need a ticket, and you can buy them if you have money and some connections.

Sending away the eldest brother-in-law, Zhang Junping shook his head and sighed, it was really not easy to engage in industrial production in the 80s.

Worry about everything.

Nails, hinges, glue, coils, sponges, linen, boards, everything, he had to do it himself.

There are many things that you can't buy with money, you need to have some connections.

Zhang Junping has been thinking about finding someone to support the purchase for him.

However, no suitable person has been found.

Zhang Junping once again checked the people he knew around him, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate.

Huang Xue is very suitable. However, Huang Xue is busy with decoration now, and then entrusts her with the purchase of the furniture factory. If she is not busy, it will definitely affect her studies.

I can't be so selfish and let Huang Xue give up her pursuit of art to help her in business production.

Zhang Junping was thinking about it when a person came in and greeted him cheerfully, "Master Zhang, are you busy?"

"Hey, Lord Jin, are you lucky?" Zhang Junping smiled when he saw the person coming.

The person who came was none other than the well-known Lord Baylor in Beijing.

"You are lucky!"

"Jin Ye, you haven't come here for some time. Please do it quickly. I'll make tea for you. I just bought two catties of jasmine tea yesterday. You can take some back later!" Zhang Junping warmly greeted Jin Ye to take his seat, and he was busy Make tea for him.

This is the God of Wealth, so he has to take care of him. Zhang Junping is still hoping to buy some national treasures from him.

"Master Zhang, I just dug out something from home, would you give me your palm?" Master Jin said, carefully put the item on the coffee table, and slowly opened it.

"Hey, Master Jin, you are an expert in this field. I have to learn from you. Since Master Jin has brought it, I will keep my eyes open." Zhang Junping looked at the things brought by Master Jin while being modest.

After only one glance, Zhang Junping stood up from the chair, his eyes widened.

"Jin Ye, can I do it?"

"Please!"

Zhang Junping found gloves, carefully picked up one of the bowls, and looked at it carefully.

This time, Lord Jin brought a pair of bowls. Five red bats are depicted on the body of the bowl. This kind of red bats is common in Chinese crafts. Good virtue, good death.

The bats flying upside down in the picture even more harmoniously mean "good fortune arrives", and the five blessings come to the door.

Peach is the most auspicious fresh fruit in Chinese culture, symbolizing longevity and happiness.

I admired the pattern and shape of the vessel, and turned it over to look at the base model, which was made in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.

"Jin Ye, this is a pair of Qing Dynasty Yongzheng famille rose bowls. These are rare famille roses from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, and they are the best of the best."
