There was only one course called "Introduction to Industrial Engineering" on Wednesday afternoon, which was a literacy course taught by professors in the department to freshmen. This is also one of the few very professional courses in the first semester of the freshman year.

The get out of class ended before 3 o'clock. Jiang Hui wanted to go to the selling of jeans and jeans that he talked with his father yesterday, and thought about going to the zoo clothing wholesale market for on-site inspection.

The bj Zoo Wholesale Market is said to be the largest clothing wholesale distribution center in the northern region. It is not clear whether it is really the largest in the north. However, when it comes to clothing wholesale market in the entire bj region, it is the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to clothing wholesale market.

This wholesale market does not refer to a single place, but is a collective name for multiple wholesale markets such as Jinkailide, Dongding, Tianhe and Baima near the zoo.

Jiang Hui came to the bus stop next to the main entrance of the school, waited for a few minutes before getting on the bus to the zoo.

As the capital, the public transportation system of the imperial capital is still relatively developed. Not to mention the dense subway lines in the future, there are bus routes all over the city. Except for the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Wuyang, the few megacities in Shenzhen Stock Exchange, other cities are completely incomparable to it.

Most buses these days are not air-conditioned buses, and the fare is only 1 yuan. If you apply for a monthly ticket or a bus card, it will be cheaper. The best discount is to apply for a one-card pass for a student ID, and it only costs 20 cents to take the bus.

That's right, you're not mistaken, it's just 2 cents, and it's so cheap that it's simply unbelievable.

After almost 20 minutes, the zoo station arrived. The zoo station is a big station, and there is a place to apply for a bus card nearby. Although the student ID has not been obtained, it only costs 40 cents to use the ordinary card. The most important thing is that it is really convenient to take the bus by swiping the card, and you don’t have to prepare change every time.

After applying for a card, Jiang Hui chose the nearest Jinkailide Wholesale Market and followed the crowds to the market.

At first glance, the entire market is full of shops. The large shops are dozens or hundreds of square meters in area, while the small ones are mostly only about ten square meters. Various skirts, pants, jackets, etc. look dazzling.

It took me half an hour to go around the world. There were at least 1,000 shops in the entire market, including two or three hundred of them selling denim clothing. However, most of them did not only sell denim clothing, and they also did other businesses.

Considering that he mainly sells jeans shorts and denim skirts to merchants, Jiang Hui thinks it would be more targeted to find small shops that specialize in wholesale and sales of jeans for promotion.

After having a certain goal, Jiang Hui began to ask the price of denim shorts and denim skirts one by one, ask about the retail price, and what price it would be if it was wholesale.

Few owners of small shops get goods directly from factories, and now they are not as developed as Internet shopping ten years later. In a few years, after the small workshops in the south began to be sold online wholesale, many physical stores did not seek wholesalers to get goods, and just searched for small workshops online to place an order.

About an hour later, Jiang Hui had a preliminary understanding of the market conditions of denim shorts and denim skirts.

There are at least 30 small shops specializing in denim clothing in the entire Jinkailide wholesale market. Of course, in addition to buying denim shorts and skirts, they also sell trousers and other denim clothing.

Since it is a wholesale and retail market, clothes are not very expensive. The general price of denim shorts is 30 or 40 yuan, and of course there are also 19 yuan and 70 or 80 yuan. The price of denim short skirts is not much different from denim shorts.

If you buy more than ten pieces at a time, you can generally get a 20% discount or even a 30% discount. Considering that they still make money after 30% discount, Jiang Hui estimated that the purchase price of these shops is about 15/6 to 20 yuan. There are slight differences depending on the quality of fabric and washing.

Jiang Hui’s parents are in the clothing industry. According to the information they talked about in the past, there is often a very big gap between the ex-factory price and retail price of the clothing industry products, and they have to double any number of times.

After leaving the market, Jiang Hui couldn't wait to find a telephone booth to call his father to confirm whether there was any progress in confirming the supply mentioned yesterday morning. At the same time, it was also easy to grasp the purchase price and further determine whether this project was in trouble.

"Hey, Jiang Hui, is the get out of class over?" The phone rang.

"Dad, it's over early. How did I ask you to ask yesterday?" Jiang Hui asked nervously.

"I asked a few fellow villagers and the owner of the processing factory. If you get more goods, a pair of denim shorts costs only five or six yuan, and a denim skirt is similar."

"So cheap?" Jiang Hui was a little unbelievable.

"Then how expensive do you think it is. They are all small factories, mainly because of the cost of ordering fabrics. The labor costs are very cheap. Clothing factories often have to work more than ten hours a day. How many people do this in Cowboy City here."

Jiang Hui calmed down and thought for a while, thinking that what his father said was right. The labor cost in 2003 was still very cheap. So many manufacturers in the Cowboy City gathered together, and the prices of fabrics and processing were naturally much cheaper than elsewhere.

"Then you should first find a few good ones sold by others. First, one hundred pieces of denim shorts and denim skirts are included, and then mail them to me." Jiang Hui thought that if he asked his father to buy more goods at one time, he would probably be more worried, so he ordered one hundred pieces first, and then went to talk to various shops with the products.

Then Jiang Hui continued to talk to his father about his plan, dispelled his father's concerns and explained again that he would not delay his studies before hanging up the phone.

After buying food nearby, Jiang Hui entered the market again. He needed to investigate and confirm the sales volume of each store. If you directly ask the store owner, people would generally not pay attention to you. He had to use a relatively rustic method to find a few representative stores, observe nearby for a ten-minute to see how the flow of people and transactions are.

Although it is not a weekend, it is still a relatively prosperous time after all, and there are still a lot of people. After observing it for about two hours, basically, each store can make one to two orders within ten minutes on average.

According to this calculation, six to twelve pieces of clothing are sold in an hour, of which five or six pieces of denim shorts and skirts are sold in five or six pieces. In a day, there are fifty or sixty pieces in ten hours.

Although the retail time in the morning is definitely not as good as the evening, from my conversation with the bosses just now, we can know that when the store was just opened in the morning, there were mainly wholesale businesses, and most of them were retail after noon.

There is not a big list of wholesale business, but it should be not difficult to sell fifty or sixty pieces a day in one store. The entire Jinkailide wholesale market has at least 1,500 sales per day.

Considering that the zoo clothing wholesale market is not the only Jinkailide wholesale market, if the other four or five places are about the same scale as today, the sales volume of one day will be six or seven thousand or even tens of thousands of pieces.

Of course, Jiang Hui didn't think that he could get all these tens of thousands of pieces, but as long as ten percent of the shops get goods from him, there will be six or seven hundred pieces a day.
