Happy Tycoon

Chapter 13: 600 pounds left

Cardiff is the capital of Wales, the largest city in the Principality of Wales, and the ninth largest city in the UK.

The Principality of Wales is one of the political entities of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Together with England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, it forms the main body of the British island.

The current nominal supreme head of the Principality of Wales is the Prince of Wales, who is now the first heir to the British royal family, Prince Charles.

Cardiff is an important port and industrial and service center in southwestern England. In the early twentieth century, it was the world’s largest coal export port. Modern streets and buildings coexist with old streets and old churches in Cardiff. Cardiff has a large number of castles and historical monuments, some of which can be traced back to the Roman period.

Today, Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang’s destination is Cardiff. To be precise, it is the Cardiff City Flea Market on Clydesmere Street northeast of Cardiff.

Before buying a car in the morning, the old book wholesaler Guo Xiaoxiang contacted. His shop is in the Cardiff Flea Market. It is the largest old book wholesaler in Cardiff and even Wales.

110 miles away Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang ran for an hour and a half and arrived. After getting off the highway, under the leadership of Guo Xiaoxiang, the two vehicles quickly reached the Cardiff City Flea Market.

“Hey, Mike, it’s really nice to see you again.” When he got out of the car, Guo Xiaoxiang hugged each **** man with a head and a full head of 195 meters. This black man, Yang Jing, had never seen him before, but he knew that this black man was what the fat man called Michael Miller, the largest old book wholesaler in Wales.

“Aha, Guo, I’m very happy to see you again. We haven’t seen each other for three years? You must have made a lot of money in London and you don’t want to come to a small place like Cardiff anymore.” The black man was very enthusiastic. I patted the fat man’s back exaggeratedly, it was called a choppy…

The fat man told Yang Jing that he had picked up two manors near Cardiff three or four years ago, and met Michael Miller at that time.

Fatty has been alone in the UK for almost six years, and he has been in the business of “the richest garbage disposal” for five years. Therefore, in this industry, Fatty’s personal connections are far from what Yang Jing can match. of.

It’s like these books obtained from Valdy’s Castle this time. If there is no fat man, Yang Jing can only take these books to London to deal with. Where is it like now, the fat man just made a phone call, and these books have It’s not easy to find, and it’s so convenient. As for the price, it’s even more appropriate.

Even if these books are brought to London to be processed, they will probably be sold at a price of 1,700 pounds at most. It saves time and effort, but the price is very fair.

“Mike, let me introduce you. This is my good partner and my compatriots, Albert Young, and Lao Yang. This is Michael Miller, Cardiff’s largest used book wholesaler.”

After arriving in the UK, Yang Jing gave herself a British name to make it easier to deal with British people. The name Albert stands for “noble and clever” in English. Of course, Yang Jing did not hesitate to use such a name…

Yang Jing shook hands with Brother Hei. Brother Hei’s hand was very rough with calluses on it. Obviously, Brother Hei is also a master who can bear hardships and stand hard work.

“Would you two have a cup of coffee first? I just got some authentic Blue Mountain coffee from a friend the other day, and you two came at the right time.”

The fat man smiled and waved his hand and said, “Mike, coffee is free. You’d better read this batch of books first. I promise you are satisfied.”

The fat man said, he opened the trunk and the rear door of the golf, Yang Jing also opened the trunk, and the piles of tomes **** neatly by the rope immediately appeared.

“These books are all good books from Valdi Castle. Most of them were published in the 1950s and 1960s. However, these books should have been used by the old Baron Valdy to decorate the study, and they have not been flipped. Therefore, the appearance of these books is very good. At least I have been working for so many years, and I have never seen an old book with such a good appearance.” The fat man explained to the side, his tone full of pride.

Michael Miller did not speak, but just opened a few stacks of books, pulled out a few books from them, and turned them over. Then he nodded with satisfaction and said, “Guo, you are not wrong, these books are really great.”

Guo Xiaoxiang smiled and said, “Mike, these books are 206 books in total, which are basically large tomes of a few hundred pages. At the current price, the price of a book is basically 30 pounds. Above, not to mention that there are many professional books in these books. The prices of these books are more expensive.”

British books are much more expensive than Chinese books. The same book may only sell for 20 renminbi in China, but it is almost 20 pounds in the UK, which is almost ten times worse.

And in the UK, some professional books are more expensive. For example, if you take out a book about accounting, it costs seventy or eighty pounds or even more than one hundred pounds.

Yes, the price of new British books is so expensive. Therefore, in the UK, many people do not go to bookstores to buy books, but go to second-hand book flea markets. Especially students are the main buyers of second-hand book flea market.

It is precisely for this reason that many second-hand book sellers have spawned in the UK. The black brother in front of him is the largest second-hand book seller in Wales.

Brother Black closed a large book and looked at Guo Xiaoxiang and said: “Guo, we are old friends. I didn’t see the quality of these books when you called me before, so I gave you a compromise. Price. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Now I see these books and I am very satisfied. So, on top of the morning price, I can add another three hundred pounds to a whole number, two thousand pounds!”

The fat man smiled and shook his head and said, “Mike, you are really a black-hearted guy! If you put such a good book on the Internet, I can guarantee that every book can be sold at a high price. These books are not The books published in recent years, these books are more than half a century old, and the color is so good, they can be regarded as antiques. And my buddy and I have been busy with these books for three days. Do you have the heart to give us such a low price? This is obviously not fair.”

Brother Black touched his mouth and muttered a few words in a low voice. Then he said: “2200 pounds, this is the highest price I can give.”

The fat man smiled and stretched out three fingers and said: “Man, I know very well that if these books are placed with you, they can bring you at least five thousand pounds in income. If they catch up with people who like old books, one Ten thousand pounds is not necessarily an impossible thing. Therefore, I think the three thousand pounds you paid us should be a more appropriate figure.”

…

Even though Yang Jing can do this kind of bargaining, he can never do it like this. Therefore, Yang Jing stood by and said nothing, watching the two people bargaining there.

In the end, the price of these books was fixed at 2,600 pounds, which was nine hundred pounds more than the price the fat man said in the morning.

In other words, after Yang Jing bought the carnival for 1,500 pounds this morning, he still has 600 pounds left!

PS: It’s Monday. Let’s first come to a chapter in the early morning. Everyone will watch it first. In addition, ask for recommendation tickets and collections. During the new book period, everyone’s recommendation tickets and collections are very, very, very important to Lao Mo!
