Future Stamps and Coins Diary

Chapter 13: First Meeting with Xu Huiying

After making the stall look a little more presentable, the owner Lu Feng finally officially opened it.

The next day, he still squeezed into the subway during the morning rush hour and arrived at the stall on time. Lu Feng always arranged his life in an orderly manner.

According to the contents of the diary, I selected several sets of reference books on banknotes in the market, especially the old versions (1st, 2nd and 3rd editions) of banknotes. Of course, the most important thing is the skill of identification.

It can be said that no matter how long you work in this field, you will eventually have to deal with some technical work. If a casual customer comes in with something and asks you to help look after it, would you just say "find someone else"?
It’s hard to say whether such a day will come, but this is called preparing for a rainy day!

The business on the second floor was indeed not good. For the next two days, Lu Feng spent almost every day reading books. Occasionally, when he didn't understand something, he would go to the merchants recognized by the market to learn.

After a while, almost everyone in the market knew that the new boss of 2748 was a guy who did nothing but do nothing every day. He only did things that only professional appraisal agencies were willing to do.

But it was not without gain. At least I became familiar with many merchants.

On October 10, Lu Feng was sitting behind the counter as usual, engrossed in reading a book, when suddenly the glass door was pushed open.

Lu Feng looked up and saw a middle-aged woman carrying an LV bucket bag pushing the door open. She was about 45 years old, about 1.6 meters tall, and wearing trendy Gucci glasses without lenses.

Lu Feng put down the book, stood up quickly, and said something that he himself felt embarrassed about. "Hello, if you need anything, please feel free to read it."

The entire counter is filled with the complete set of four editions. How can I just look at them casually?

The woman's eyes passed from Lu Feng, across the counter, and fell on the densely packed four-edition complete set. "Are you a senior professional?"

Just from this one sentence, Lu Feng knew that he had met someone in the same industry.

Only insiders, or those who frequently buy and sell, will call the four sets of complete sets "Big Four", which is the industry abbreviation.

Lv Feng continued to display his shameless spirit and focused on confidence. "You can't bite off more than you can chew. I can't say that I have done the most in my senior year, but I am definitely the most professional."

If Huang Doudou were here, he would definitely call him a profiteer. What kind of major is there in the senior year?
The woman smiled, obviously amused by Lu Feng.

Lu Feng knew that he had met an expert, but he didn't have much idea about terminal retail in the market, so it didn't matter too much.

"Bragging doesn't cost money, right?"

"Hahaha..." The woman laughed heartily. "There are only old men in the market. It's rare to see a handsome guy like you. Are you new here?"

"Sister, you have a keen eye. We just opened today and you are the first distinguished customer to step into our door." Lu Feng had experience in sales for a few months.

"Come, have a glass of water. I didn't even prepare tea!" Lu Feng smiled apologetically, filled a cup with water in a disposable cup and placed it on the counter.

The woman did not reach out to take it, but continued to look at the big set inside. With her experience, of course nothing could be hidden from her.

"How much is it?" she said straight to the point.

"Wait a minute, I'll call to confirm, sorry." Lv Feng called Doudou immediately. This was indeed the truth, the price had fluctuated in the past few days, but he was so obsessed with the reference books on identification that he didn't pay any attention to it. Doudou was absolutely knowledgeable about the market.

Lu Feng directly pressed the speaker, and Doudou quickly quoted the price on the other end of the phone. "Today's latest price, without the 8050, should be more than . It has increased a bit in the past few days."

He thought that Lu Feng was thinking about buying goods again.

I didn’t expect the price to increase by 200 yuan, not bad!

Lu Feng thought to himself, hung up the phone directly, and said to the woman: "This is the market price today."

"Can you offer a lower price?" the woman asked. Lu Feng thought she would leave immediately after quoting the price, but who knew there would be a follow-up. He frowned and thought about it.

"How much do you want? If it's a large quantity, I'll give it to you twenty less. It's 1,180."

"One thousand one hundred and five!" She suddenly gave a number directly, and added: "One hundred sets!"

Ok?
Lu Feng's mind raced. Doesn't this mean that he has made another 1,500 yuan in the past three days? Not bad, at least after deducting the rental and management fees, it's not a loss.

Thinking of this, Lu Feng shook his head: "I can't sell it at this price. If my peers knew about it, it would ruin the market."

Seeing Lv Feng's refusal, the woman took out a small wallet from her bucket bag and pushed a business card in front of Lv Feng. "This is my business card. I don't know anything about market conditions, and I don't care about your tricks. We are a gift terminal, and we want reality."

When she came to the market to make purchases today, she had already looked around downstairs and visited several merchants she was familiar with. The quotes were all twelve hundred and ninety-two, not a penny less. Because there were a lot of people looking for complete sets in the market recently, and it was the peak gift season at the end of the year, some merchants had set their prices very tightly.

She had to give up and went to the second floor to try her luck.

Naturally, she could accept twelve hundred yuan, and the company could accept it too. But after the price was nailed down, she, as a purchasing agent, would no longer have the well-known part.

Twenty yuan off a set, she was already interested, but then she calculated that a hundred sets would only be two thousand yuan, which was not enough to buy a good set of skin care products, so she decided to be bolder.

Lu Feng picked up the business card. The two most important pieces of information on it were: Xu Huiying, Deputy General Manager of Jiuzang Coins. Below that was her phone number.

"Sister Xu, how about this? The price is still based on the market price, 1200. But I'll give you a 36% discount, which is yuan per set. This is the bottom line I can accept. If possible, I have exactly sets here, and they are cheap. You can give them all without being picky."

As soon as Lu Feng finished speaking, a woman's voice sounded.

"Okay, deal! Swipe the card!"

Lu Feng was stunned! It was a deal already? He didn't expect that he would make his first deal so quickly.

"I'm sorry, we just opened today and the card machine isn't ready yet. I'd like to trouble you to pay in cash or by bank transfer." Lu Feng was really embarrassed now.

Seeing this, Xu Huiying laughed happily. "Okay. I've been doing purchasing for so long, but this is the first time I've encountered this. You're quite interesting, handsome boy. Give me your account number and I'll transfer the money to you."

Lu Feng gave her card number and soon received her transfer of 12 yuan.

Lu Feng naturally knew what to do.

After paying a percentage point in handling fee to the merchant nearby and swiping out 8050 yuan, Lu Feng gave all the yuan directly to Xu Huiying and packed up the sets of apartments for seniors.

"Thank you for your care, Sister Xu. As the first customer, I'll give you a small gift as a token of my gratitude." Lu Feng took out a set of eight cent coins from the safe and handed it to her.

Xu Huiying's eyes lit up. Although the price of the items was not high, four thousand plus this set would completely satisfy her appetite.

"Young people know how to do things, handsome boy. I'll be back on Friday. If there is any stock, you can prepare more for me. This time I want to bring 8050 together." Xu Huiying stuffed the things into her bag.

"Is it still the old rule?" Lu Feng smiled.

Xu Huiying raised her eyebrows: "Old rules! Hahaha..."

"I wish you a prosperous business. Sister is leaving."
