At this time in Nancheng, shopping was already done in plastic bags.
However, we don’t give away small things, they are all relatively expensive and large items.
Like clothing fabrics or even shoes.
I have to say that it is convenient to buy things without tickets.
But Sister Xu was very enthusiastic at first. After buying for a while, she took a look at her wallet and stopped decisively.
The products here are dazzling, and the waiters are also very enthusiastic. Even if some of them can't speak Mandarin, they still smile at you very kindly.
Sister Xu stood there and said to Gu Mingtang, "Come on, please take it easy. I find it's not good to buy things with a ticket, but it's even scarier to not need any tickets."
Gu Mingtang put the things in his bag and glanced at Sister Xu in surprise.
"Why do you say that?"
"Look, I have more than 200 yuan in my pocket, but there are all kinds of products in the building. I can buy them all with 200 yuan. There are countless things I want. I really want to buy them even after seeing this. , I wanted to buy it after seeing it, but I didn’t have enough money in my pocket.”
"Well, that makes sense. The existence of tickets cannot be said to be bad. In fact, it can really control people's consumption."
"That's the truth. How many people here do you think borrow money to buy things?"
"I'm not sure about this, but the per capita living standard in the south is higher than that in the north. Even the wages are dozens of yuan higher. The purchasing power is definitely stronger than in the north."
"I don't agree with this. If their purchasing power is particularly strong, why would they all head north? It's just because the fabrics can no longer be sold in the south, so they go north."
Sister Xu's face didn't look good when she thought about the attack on her factory. "The best proof is the sweaters from Nanyang Knitting Factory. With the current output, we don't have enough to eat in the Jiangbei area, right?"
This cannot be said to be unreasonable.
There was a lot of noise, people buying and selling things were all together, and all kinds of dialects were spoken.
Beihuang basically speaks Mandarin, but if you speak it fast, others won't understand.
Sister Xu is here to study, communicate, conduct research, and even learn from experience.
Special attention is paid to clothing fabrics.
There are really all kinds of fabrics here, many of which are imported from abroad, and the price of imported fabrics is more than double that of domestic ones.
And she found that shopping here is different from shopping in the north.
Especially the non-staple food area on the first floor.
If there is no ticket, if the northerners see pork, as long as they have some money, they will cut off at least three to five pounds.
But that's not the case here. It's rare to see a scale weighing several kilograms. Basically, they come in small pieces weighing half a catty or three ounces.
Buy vegetables in small handfuls.
However, the salesperson here has a good attitude and will sell it no matter how much it is.
Even buying fabrics is there.
Sister Xu was very moved when she talked about the service attitude of most salespersons in the provincial capital.
It's all about throwing and beating with a cold face, plus the loud voice, sometimes it's like fighting.
Those who can bear it will bear it, and those who can't bear it will start a fight.
Gu Mingtang agrees with this.
Didn't the eldest sister who sells shoes at the first department store in Qulin County have a quarrel with her?
However, there was no quarrel or acquaintance, and the two of them got along pretty well.
Whenever nice-looking children's shoes come in, she will specially leave a few pairs for Gu Mingtang.
Summer children's water boots were specially left for her.
At this time, Sister Xu stopped buying anything after observing the salesperson's service attitude, and started walking around on the floor selling clothing and fabrics.
Gu Mingtang has almost bought it.
Although the Northern Wasteland is still covered in ice and snow, it is indeed spring here.
The clothing counter knew that a trade fair was held in Nancheng, and also knew that many outsiders would come here.
So I laid out a lot of knitted sweaters and summer clothes in advance.
On this floor, Gu Mingtang saw many familiar faces seen at the trade fair.
She thought these people would buy knitted sweaters that looked beautiful hanging on them.
Basically, they are all products from Nancheng and Haicheng.
Gu Mingtang hasn't come to the south yet.
But she found that none of the people attending the fair bought anything.
Maybe it's also because Zhuyu is in front.
Gu Mingtang thought so.
But there are many people spending money to buy the fabric.
Gu Mingtang stopped, took the things from Zhou Aijun's hand and said to him, "We have almost bought everything here. If you want to buy anything, go ahead. Sister Xu and I are waiting for you here."
Zhou Aijun thought for a while, then handed the things in his hands to Gu Mingtang, but still said uneasily, "Don't go anywhere, just wait for me here."
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere." Gu Mingtang waved his hand and told him to leave quickly. Don't waste time. He would leave Nancheng by car in the afternoon.
Zhou Aijun walked around and locked in a lot of things he wanted to buy, some of which were for his mother, and a large part of which were for Lili.
After I finished shopping, I realized that there were really big bags and small bags.
Zhou Aijun also sighed and said to Sister Xu, "Sister Xu, what you said makes so much sense. Such a store will not stop until it drains all the money out of its pockets."
If you need a ticket, there will still be some restrictions. Now that you don't need a ticket, it's completely free.
"Can this...can I save money?" Sister Xu asked uncertainly.
Gu Mingtang smiled and said, "Sister Xu, what is the difference between increasing revenue and reducing expenditure?"
Sister Xu understood and said with a smile, "I still don't have enough money in my pocket."
After a pause, he continued, "Southern people are so lively. When we came here just now, there were so many people selling things on the roadside. Hairpin flowers are cheap and beautiful. In this season, it doesn't matter if they are placed by the roadside. A piece of cloth can do it Doing business. At this time in our Northern Wilderness, a person would freeze to death. If you want to do business, you can only do business in the house."
In just a few days, everyone’s eyes were indeed opened.
In fact, since the conference started, people like them can feel the change in the direction of the wind more keenly.
After arriving in Nancheng, this feeling was the most intuitive and impactful.
At this time, someone had already established a company.
We sighed with emotion all the way to the hotel, and then everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
Don't tell anyone, they are almost all big and small bags.
And most of the emotions are similar to Sister Xu.
At noon, the organizer held a large banquet in the hotel.
The dishes on the table include both meat and vegetables, and the tastes of members of the delegations from various regions are taken into consideration.
It can be said that it is very thoughtful.
Because he was leaving in the afternoon, he didn't see Mr. Qin at the banquet. After dinner, Gu Mingtang said to Sister Xu and the others and went to the VIP building where Mr. Qin lived.
Mr. Qin helped her a lot and made sure to say hello before leaving.
And Thomas, because he is a foreign guest, it is not easy to invite people to dinner, and he is still a little sensitive at this time, so it is not easy to give gifts casually, but it is still okay to say hello before leaving.
