1987: Sleepless Tonight

"Besides, it's hard to come here once, and I must buy some for Nini." Lu Hao said again.

"Dad, I like you so much." Nini looked up at Lu Hao.

She shook her hand, made Lu Hao squat down, and waved on Lu Hao's face.

Laugh very happily.

It attracted other people in the store to look sideways, showing a fatherly and motherly smile, and even a few foreigners looked at it happily, and some even picked up the camera hanging around their necks to take pictures.

Holding Nini, Lu Hao bought some chocolates.

Hershey Chocolate, a chocolate brand in North America, is quite famous, and I bought some Coca-Cola.

The salesperson gave me a carrying bag with the pattern of the Yellow Crane Tower printed on it and the letters 'jiangchengfriendshipstore'.

Lu Hao carried his bag and went to the place where drinks were sold.

Moutai, Fenjiu, Wuliangye, Jiannanchun, Gujing Gongjiu, Yanghe Daqu.

These are basically well-known drinks in China. Needless to say, Moutai has risen to 135 yuan a bottle, which is enough to show that it is very popular and the market demand is huge, so it dares to increase the price so much.

Fen Liquor is also famous. "News Agency Manuscript" specially wrote a report, saying that Xinghua Village Fen Liquor has the four most famous wines in the country: first, the annual export volume is large, which is equal to the sum of the export volume of other famous wines in the country; second, the famous wine rate It is the highest, reaching 99.97%. Every catty of famous wines in the country has half a catty of Xinghua Village Fen Distillery. Third, the cost is the lowest, so it is cheap and good quality.

These are all purchased as special products for foreigners. In addition, there are many foreign wines, whiskey, brandy, and rum.

Whiskey is made from malt and grain, brandy from grapes and rum from cane molasses.

These drinks are not available in other stores in China, even the city supply and marketing cooperatives do not sell them.

The City Supply and Marketing Cooperative has its own wholesale system and sales department. It not only does wholesale, but also does purchases and retails, but it only operates domestically, and most of the items are domestic. There is also Jiangcheng Shopping Mall, which has received great support, but the wholesale The channels are also mainly domestic, and the supply channels are city department stores or wholesale stations in various provinces and cities.

As for Friendship Store, although there are only a few or even one store in a city, there is not even one store in a small and medium-sized city, but it has its own system, straight up and down, single-line wholesale and retail, and has no intersection with other wholesale systems.

The Qingshan Friendship Store in Jiangcheng City is provided by Jiangcheng Friendship Company. In 84, Jiangcheng Friendship Company was also called Foreign Guest Material Supply Company. From the name, it can be seen that this is a company that supplies materials for foreigners. 84 It was changed to Jiangcheng Friendship Company after a year, and it has the same team and two brands as Jiangcheng Wholesale Center of Tourist Overseas Chinese Remittance Products.

Provide supplies for foreigners for Friendship Stores and some foreign-related hotels.

There are connections and relationships, and some of these goods can be obtained when they pass by, but even if they can be obtained, it is only a small amount, and the few that flow to the market are after all.

It's not enough to drink it by yourself or give it to relatives and friends, so how can you sell it easily?

Lu Hao doesn't want Moutai, Fenjiu, Wuliangye, etc. He is interested in foreign wines such as whiskey and brandy. These foreign wines are not sold outside. Even if there are contacts in the Municipal Supply and Marketing Cooperative and the Municipal Commercial Committee, it is difficult to get them.

Lu Hao asked the price.

It's a bit expensive, much higher than the place of origin, but it's normal, Friendship Store is a monopoly business, and it's impossible for Lu Hao to spend a plane ticket to go to the place of origin to buy these things.

If the price is not expensive and the item is not scarce, Lu Hao will not buy it. What he buys is a monopoly. What he buys is the only one.

Lu Hao looked at more than 20 bottles of foreign wine on the shelf, "I want all of these."

The tone was very flat, but it startled the salesperson, including a few people around them, who also looked at Lu Hao in surprise. The people beside them were Asian faces, obviously overseas Chinese, or compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, who could understand Lu Hao's words. Know what he means.

More than 20 bottles of foreign wine cost 2 to [-] yuan, but Lu Hao wanted them all.

It is impossible for them to buy so much at one time.

Whiskey, brandy, rum and other foreign wines are placed here. The main customers are foreigners who have returned to other countries for a short time, as well as domestic customers who can enter the store. Buy it, because they can buy these foreign wines, and they are cheaper than the Friendship Store.

Few people buy more than 20 bottles at a time, even those who are relatively rich also buy two or three bottles.

The salesman thought he had heard it wrong, "Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't hear clearly just now, can you say it again?"

The salespersons in the Friendship Store are also iron rice bowls, but they are different from the salespersons in the supply and marketing cooperatives, Jiangcheng shopping malls and other units. They are more polite and polite. He spoke in a soft voice, with the word 'sir' on it.

Put it in the store of the Municipal Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Jiangcheng Shopping Mall, how can there be the word "Mister"?Not to speak softly.

It's fine if you don't scold you for not eating enough, or for not having the strength to speak.

"I want all the foreign wine on the shelf behind you." Lu Hao said again.

It's not that the salesperson didn't hear clearly, but he heard clearly, and he couldn't believe it.

After finishing speaking, Lu Hao directly took out the foreign exchange coupons and put them on the glass cabinet, "Do the math, how much do you need in total?"

Nothing is more convincing than putting foreign exchange certificates on the counter.

Seeing so many foreign exchange certificates in Lu Hao's hands, the salesperson stopped asking questions and began to calculate the accounts. He used an abacus, but he was very skilled. He looked back at the foreign wine to determine the price and type, and calculated the total price with a few clicks. .

23 bottles of foreign wine, a total of more than 8000 yuan in foreign exchange certificates.

After collecting the money and finding the change, the salesperson filled Lu Hao with whiskey, brandy, rum and other foreign wines.

There were many things, Lu Hao drove the car into the yard, put the wine in the car where he could see through the window, locked the doors and windows, and then went back to the store to continue shopping.

The doorman looked at people with dog eyes. He saw that Lu Hao's license plate number belonged to Jiangcheng. Although people were allowed in, the cars were not allowed in. After Lu Hao bought more than [-] bottles of foreign wine and spent nearly [-] foreign exchange certificates in one go, Just ask, let me in.

Lu Hao bought other things in the store.

I bought some cigars, got a few watches, 2 bottles of perfume, and two calligraphy and paintings. There are antique calligraphy and paintings in the Friendship Store, and they are indeed real, but the age is limited, and they are all from the Qing Dynasty. After the Provincial Museum is firm, the sale is allowed.

Lu Hao specifically asked this point.

Then there are the silk clothes, cashmere sweaters, fur coats, etc. that Wang Guizhi, Su Min, and Su Jin chose, all of which cost 5 yuan without a penny left.

Back and forth, moved several times into the car.

5 yuan is not much for many customers who come to the Friendship Store. When Lu Hao was shopping, a few foreign bosses who came to travel spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in a short while.

Antique calligraphy and painting, silk clothing, traditional Chinese medicine, etc., they can be taken for free.

Lu Hao couldn't help muttering: Big dog!
