Chapter 246. Hai City’s goods
Mother Weng really wanted to see if Lin Qing He was easy to get along with.
When she took a rare chance to go, by coincidence it was in the middle of November when Lin Qing He represented the university and went to Hai City with some other students.
It was said to be an exchange meeting, but it more like a business trip. Participating in the exchange was a must. But after the exchange, they’ll have time for free activities.
However, the cost of traveling to and from Hai City, as well as the cost of accommodation and meals, were all repaid by the university.
When it was brought up, Lin Qing He expressed her willingness to do her utmost for the university without a second thought.
So Mother Weng was really unlucky.
Mother Weng got to admit she was full of admiration when she heard that Zhou Kai’s mother was attending the exchange meeting at Hai University as Bei University’s representative.
No wonder she can give birth to a son like Zhou Kai.
But so far, Mother Weng’s thoughts haven’t been revealed. Only Father Weng knew. Even their son and daughter didn’t know.
But because of this thought, Mother Weng treated Zhou Kai the same as her own son when he followed his classmate, Weng Guo Liang home.
No, not the same as her own son. Slightly better than her own son.
It caused Weng Guo Liang to grumble all the time. His mother became another’s mother.
Lin Qing He didn’t know that her eldest son was chosen by others and others wanted to take him as their son-in-law. After attending the exchange meeting, she acted on her own.
A place like Hai City was very developed now. For example, when she came to the mall, Lin Qing He saw many new styles.
Watches, scarves, gloves, and good-looking fabrics which weren’t sold in the county city.
In other words, it was basically snatched and gone out of stock once put on the shelf. Basically, there was no chance to reserve.
So how could Lin Qing He possibly hold back?
The salesperson saw that she had a superior aura. Once asked and found out she was a college student from Bei University of the capital who came to Hai University for an exchange, the gaze toward Lin Qing He instantly changed
Lin Qing He didn’t mean to show off, but it was like this these days. If one doesn’t show off, people will look at them with their nose. What can she do?
“It’s a rare chance to come here this time, so I want to buy more. However, I didn’t bring any coupons.” Lin Qing He took out her Bei University’s student ID and displayed it for the salesperson to glance at as she said with regret.
“There are some processed fabrics. They are all quality items. Don’t you know if that match your taste?” the salesperson immediately informed.
“Thank you, Miss,” Lin Qing He replied without reservation.
“Then wait here,” the salesperson said and then headed to the other person and request it. That person went to get it.
The salesperson asked Lin Qing He about matters in the capital.
Lin Qing He wasn’t stingy. Since she was given a leeway, she was happy to tell her. But she didn’t give it all away. Got to have some reservations.
Otherwise, others would regard her as a foolish person.
The fabric was taken out and Lin Qing He directly purchased two bolts.
After paying the money first, she left. She found a deserted place to store it in the space. Then she came back to find this salesperson again.
“I thought you weren’t coming.” The salesperson smiled.
“Well, I haven’t bought other things yet. The things here are cheaper than those on our side. And the styles are also very good.” Lin Qing He complimented.
“These are all new and the latest styles. Very easy to sell. You can choose which one you want.” The salesperson said.
Encountering a Bei University student from the capital and what’s more be able to inquire with, was enough for her to use it as a topic to talk about.
Lin Qing He kept prattling on about giving one to seventh sister-in-law, one to an eighth aunt, one to this, and one that. Coupons weren’t required, so Lin Qing He bought a lot.
Mainly gloves and scarves. She explained: “It’s a rare opportunity to make a trip here. With this one trip, I got to buy more for my numerous relatives.”
The salesperson didn’t say anything. After counting the money, she said, “Do you want a watch? There are new ones.”
The salesperson didn’t care about buying so many. Still, she internally remarked, ‘no wonder she’s from the capital. She was really rich. How much did she buy in this one go?’
Lin Qing He took a look. She purchased two women’s watches and three men’s watches.
Altogether, these things cost her a fortune. After all, just these few men’s and women’s watches, it was more than 600 yuan, almost 700 yuan.
A watch was one hundred or so. Such a watch can be sold for two hundred and twenty-thirty when taken back to the black market in the county city to sell. One transaction was a profit of one hundred yuan. Was this very profitable or what?
Of course, this must be brand new and the latest style of Hai City’s watch. Such a foreign style, it will be face-gaining when worn outside. If not, people won’t look at it and buy it.
Lin Qing He felt it was a rare opportunity to come over, she’ll buy more since the watches in Hai City didn’t require industrial coupons. Naturally, it wasn’t good to buy too many watches here. Lin Qing He went simply changed the shopping mall.
This time she didn’t just buy a few watches. She also got electric fans and radios.
Under this era, these were all truly major household items.
Lin Qing He knew that coupons would slowly withdraw from the market in later generations. She didn’t expect that these big shopping malls in Hai City were already able to buy these things without using coupons.
It really deserved to be the magic metropolis. Its development was indeed extremely fast.
Lin Qing He did not continue to take any more action. The amount was sufficient. Better to not make too large of a movement.
What’s more, with just these, it was enough to make a fortune when brought to the black market. She didn’t need to continue.
Lin Qing He didn’t delay too much. The next day, she took the ride back to the capital with other people.
When she returned, Lin Qing He gave Zhou Kai a watch.
After all, he was in college now and still don’t have a watch. So this time, this kid benefited this time.
Zhou Kai was obviously surprised: “Mother, you’re giving it to me?”
“Don’t want?” Lin Qing He looked at him.
“Want. Of course, I want. How can I not? Mother, you can really bear to give it to me. I’m really your son!” Zhou Kai was overjoyed.
A watch ah! He longed for one. Never thought, his mother would actually buy it for him.
“Alright, go do you what should be doing. There will be a holiday in the middle of next month. Go back with me then, you hear?” Lin Qing He reminded.
“I know.” Zhou Kai nodded repeatedly and asked, “Mother, is this the latest model from Hai City?”
“It’s the latest model. It costs two hundred and fifty yuan per piece. Very dear.” Lin Qing He brags.
Zhou Kai was shocked: “Mother, what need is there to buy me such an expensive one? Just buy me one around a hundred yuans.” Besides, one hundred or so was still expensive.
“It’s a rare chance to get one, so use it.” Lin Qing He waved her hand and then ignored him.
