Journey 1995:Non-Stop

Chapter 200 Buying a watch
In fact, the market can't keep secrets. Most of the bosses already knew about Yan Hui's bottom price of 950 yuan.

But this did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm at all, and the resale price of these goods exceeded 1000 yuan on the same day.

In other words, a business owner who bought 50 cubic meters of goods from Yan Hui could earn more than 2500 yuan in just a few hours. If he sold them at retail, he could easily earn several thousand yuan.

Yan Hui's phone kept ringing; people who hadn't received their goods were asking about them, and some were even secretly complaining that his prices were too low.

In addition, many business owners have started asking around about grinding and polishing techniques, but Yan Hui knows that none of these people can affect his business.

Currently, Yan Hui controls at least 30% of the sales of white pine in the entire market, while larch accounts for at most 10%. The recent surge in demand for polished lumber will create a demand vacuum in the coming week, during which time Yan Hui will be able to quickly sell out every truckload of lumber he delivers each week.

As Yan Hui's production capacity in Northeast China gradually expands, the majority of timber in the market will eventually be polished timber, including white pine. Yan Hui is confident that by the end of next year, he can capture one-third of the timber market share and become a large trading company with a monthly turnover of 2 million yuan!

Yan Hui demonstrated his ability to hold hundreds of thousands of yuan worth of inventory. After that, people who wanted to order from Yan Hui would not hesitate to pay a deposit of 10,000 yuan, and business became much easier.

When a business reaches this stage, sometimes the boss doesn't need to show up; you can just pick it up according to the rules and procedures.

After finishing all that, Yan Hui hurried to find his mother, spent two days with her, and then accompanied her to her surgery.

That day, Yan Hui was at the hospital taking care of a patient when he received a call from Su Jin.

"I probably won't have time to spend with you these next couple of days. My mom isn't feeling well; she had a minor surgery at the hospital in Jianye. Anyway, you're on winter break now, so wait until I'm done with these few days." Yan Hui didn't know why Su Jin's winter break started so early.

"Oh? Auntie is in the hospital? Which hospital? My dad works in the medical equipment industry and knows a lot of experts. If you need anything, just ask me!" Su Jin said quickly.

"No need, it was a minor surgery, it's already done. Now I just come to the hospital every day for an IV drip, and I don't need to stay here at night," Yan Hui explained.

"Which hospital? I'd like to go there for a checkup."

"That works too," Yan Hui said, giving the address.

Su Jin arrived in less than an hour, and Yan Hui was surprised to see her.

Su Jin came back once during the National Day holiday. Since then, Yan Hui has not seen Su Jin for almost three months. She has changed quite a bit. She is much more mature than when she was a high school student and looks more lively.

"Wow, winter break started so early this year? I feel like it started even earlier than schools in Northeast China," Yan Hui asked Su Jin.

“I took on a winter break project this year, and I came back after my exams.” Su Jin looked Yan Hui up and down carefully. “You look to be in good shape.”

"That's great, this year has gone very smoothly." Yan Hui nodded.

"That's good. Where is Auntie? Is she alright?" Su Jin asked again.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Why did you bring anything with you?"

"Oh dear, you don't understand. Take me to see it quickly."

"Mmm, come on."

The two quickly entered the hospital area.

Yan Hui's mother is currently hospitalized because the hospitalization process is much more convenient. Since her condition is mild, she can leave the hospital and go home to sleep at night.

Yan Hui booked such a nice hotel, so of course his mother should stay there.

"Hello Auntie, I'm Yan Hui's friend. I heard you were sick, so I came to visit you." Su Jin said, placing the gift aside.

"Oh my, I've heard Yan Hui talk about you! You're so beautiful!" Yan Hui's mother took a liking to the girl at first sight.

How can the people she usually associates with compare to Su Jin?

"Really? What did Yan Hui say about me?" Su Jin blinked, very curious. "He said you're a really nice person, and that you have a good personality!" Her mother started making things up as soon as she opened her mouth.

Yan Hui was stunned. When had he ever talked about Su Jin with his mother?

But Su Jin seemed to enjoy listening, and the two of them chatted quite enthusiastically, exchanging glances and exchanging words.

"It's rare that you can understand my mom," Yan Hui couldn't help but interject.

"I chat with you every day, and now I can understand your Minnan dialect!" Su Jin said proudly.

"Oh, that's wonderful, that's wonderful!" Yan Hui's mother waved to Yan Hui, "Go buy a bottle of water!"

"Okay." Yan Hui turned and left.

Yan Hui's mother was very satisfied with the trip to Jianye and was in a very good mood.

Before she left, Yan Hui bought her a gold bracelet and a watch worth several hundred yuan, asking her to take them back to her father.

Yan Hui originally wanted to buy a better watch, but his mother wouldn't allow it, saying that even if he did, his father wouldn't dare wear it. After thinking about it, Yan Hui chose a domestically produced watch.

After his mother passed away, Yan Hui was thinking of buying himself a watch, so he called Su Jin, and the two went to the Jianye Department Store.

"You want to buy such a nice watch now? Won't that tie up your working capital?" Su Jin asked with some concern.

Yan Hui took a fancy to an Omega watch that cost more than 20,000 yuan.

"No, I want to buy an even better one!" Yan Hui felt he needed a watch.

Other bosses wear watches, so he has to wear one too, and it can't be worse than theirs.

"Do you have a monthly turnover of 20?" Su Jin asked cautiously.

"You even know about flowing water?" Yan Hui teased.

"Who do you think you are? I studied business administration in college." Judging from Yan Hui's state, Su Jin knew that Yan Hui's cash flow was definitely sufficient, and a bill of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan wouldn't affect his cash flow.

"Last month's turnover was about 110 million," Yan Hui thought carefully.

"Huh?" Su Jin glanced at Yan Hui. "Do you have any other shareholders?"

"No, I am the only shareholder of the company."

"You're so amazing!" Su Jin understood what this meant, of course.

“The turnover rate in bulk commodity trading is very high, but the profit margin is not high because the turnover rate is fast. Don’t compare the profit margin of medical equipment with that of bulk commodities,” Yan Hui explained.

"Then you're really, really amazing. You can buy a Rolex now." Su Jin thought for a moment, "Yeah, no problem. You can buy a really good one for a little over 30,000."

"Okay, then I'll buy this one. I'll buy one for you while I'm at it," Yan Hui said.

“I don’t want it.” Su Jin immediately shook her head. “You can’t bribe me with a watch.”

"What bribery? This is just a gift for you," Yan Hui laughed.

“Then I don’t want it either. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to afford to prepare a gift for you.” Su Jin leaned closer to Yan Hui and whispered, “Besides, I also have Omega, but it’s inconvenient for me to wear it.”

"Alright then, you'll come with me to buy it today." Yan Hui nodded.
