Chapter Eleven Got Rich

  In this era, China had bicycle factories, but they were very small in scale, using Japanese technicians and assembling with some imported parts, similar to what Yang Feng is doing now with Liu Haifeng.

  Of course, the bicycles they produce are compared to Phoenix's small folding ones, which is like heaven and earth.

  But Liu Haifeng didn't think much of Xiao Zhezhe.

  "Bicycles like this are too small, only suitable for rich families to buy as toys. The wheels are small and the speed is slow. When encountering bad roads, it's not easy to ride. Moreover, you can't carry many things with it." Liu Haifeng said with a critical tone.

  "Really? Then next time I'll get a bigger bicycle for you to see how it is?" Yang Feng said in his heart, emphasizing the permanence of the Phoenix, which was an eternal classic artifact. He just didn't know how much it cost now, guessing that it would be more expensive than the small folding one, after all, the materials used were many times more.

  "If there's something suitable at Yang Xianzhong's place, I'd be very interested in giving it a try," said Liu Haifeng.

  After talking about bicycles, it's watches next. As soon as Yang Feng took out his old Shanghai mechanical watch, Liu Haifeng's eyes widened in surprise.

  "Is this really something we Chinese people did ourselves?" The old man looked like he was about to cry.

  "This was handmade by a few of my friends, so the output is very low. Uncle, take a look and give an estimate of the price. I'm not too clear about the current market for watches either." Yang Feng handed the watch over to him.

  Looking at the brand new watch in his hand, the old man's hands were shaking. The stainless steel case was mirror-like, with a black dial and silver Roman numerals that shone brightly. The tempered glass crystal and metal strap gave off an industrial beauty that was intricately crafted.

  "What a great thing! I never thought that in my lifetime, our Chinese people could create something like this!" The old man exclaimed excitedly, his face flushing red as if he had just smoked a big cigarette.

  "How much is Young Master Xian planning to sell it for?" He wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye and asked.

  In view of his performance, Yang Feng decided to raise the price sharply.

  "Fifty thousand, no, seventy thousand dollars!" he said with a heavy heart.

  "I'll take this one for 100 yuan, and I'll help you sell the rest at the same price. Your original price was reasonable to begin with. Now, Omega's automatic watches are cheap even at 145 yuan, and ours isn't even automatic, so half the price is very reasonable."

  "But these few pieces are different, they're the first batch of watches made by us Chinese people, and they still have some collectible value. One hundred yuan isn't a lot," said Liu Haifeng.

  "Considering what you said, I'll just give this watch to you. There are eight more left and I'll have Xinxin bring them back tomorrow. Actually, the automatic ones are also being made, I estimate it won't take too long for them to come out." Yang Feng said, suppressing his excitement. A profit of over ten times! At worst, he could just go back and make a few more automatic ones, which would only cost around 1,800 yuan.

  Can't buy those miscellaneous brands, what if the quality is too poor, it's estimated that it will have a great impact on these patriotic businessmen.

  I don't know what kind of sky-high price the Sea Gull Tourbillon would sell for, but it's just a thought. This thing is also priced in the stratosphere in Europe and America. If people from this era in China were to make something like that, it would be terrifying. The old guys would probably burst their blood vessels.

  After dinner, the servant brought ginseng tea for the old man to rinse his mouth. His six wives would not dare not to use ginseng tea to rinse their mouths.

  Unfortunately, it seems that the effect is not very good. The sixth wife gave birth to a son and a daughter for him, but both were born by the first wife, which is a sad thing.

  What? Have some tea?

  Yang Feng was startled and didn't hear what the old man said clearly.

  "Yang Xianzhong?" The old man called out to him in a puzzled tone.

  Yang Feng finally came to his senses, ginseng! Wild ginseng is more expensive than gold! In this era, no matter what, it's much cheaper than modern times. Bringing back gold is not as good as bringing back ginseng directly!

  "Do you want to buy a batch of wild ginseng? This is easy, Liu Saner, go and invite Wang Zhuangui over, let him bring a batch of the best wild ginseng!" As soon as Liu Haifeng heard that Yang Feng wanted to buy wild ginseng, he immediately called out to the butler.

  "This wild ginseng, there are too many fakes. If you're not a connoisseur, it's easy to get cheated. I've been using the one from Old Wang's place for years, it's the standard Changbai Mountain wild ginseng." The old man explained afterwards.

  In this era, ginseng is also a precious medicinal material, but compared to the price of over 1,000 yuan per gram in the 21st century, the price is clearly negligible. Yang Feng didn't buy it all, after all, this thing needs time to sell, and he still needs cash flow when he returns this time.

  However, he bought two kilograms all at once, almost emptying Old Wang's stock. This number is terrifying, several million RMB!

  Especially since there are still some relatively old ones in it, Yang Feng roughly estimated that if they all came out, getting 10 million would be no problem. Just thinking about this made him a bit dizzy.

  Millionaire! The ultimate dream of countless losers has come true in an instant. Thinking about the street goods he had resold this time, he now feels a hint of shame.

  Yang Feng, who had just made a fortune, returned to the Yang family in a daze and spent the next few days in this state.

  Seven days later, he had sold out of watches and returned to the modern era with twenty taels of gold and a large package of ginseng. With sufficient funds now, it was time to consider the next business trip. Since sulfonamide was still in the experimental stage, he wouldn't bring any this time. As for other medicines, they would not be considered yet. Releasing a new batch of medicine every half month would drive those foreign pharmaceutical companies crazy.

  Small commodities are no longer brought, now with tens of millions of capital, Yang Feng can't even look at those things anymore. Even if Shanghai watches were given away for 10 yuan each, and Phoenix folding bikes for 10 vehicles, one for Xiner, one for Lin Yin, the remaining 101 vehicles have already been pre-ordered by those crazy rich ladies, and the pre-order has risen to 151 vehicles.

  British goods are only 300, Japanese goods are only 100, why should Phoenix's small folding be cheaper than those stupid big and rough ones? Moreover, this is a limited supply, the appearance is more beautiful by countless times, haven't you seen those ladies who pre-ordered at the door, with eyes that seemed to swallow Yang Jing whole?

  In addition to the Phoenix mini folding bike, adding ten more heavy-duty permanent bikes can form two brand series, one for high-end fashion and the other for practical use.

  As for this time's main business, it should be down jackets and warm underwear. In the cold wind of Beiping, a light and warm, bright and beautiful down jacket is quite terrifying to women. These days, Xiner dare not stand with Yang Jing together, every time she sees Yang Feng's eyes are filled with hatred.

  Now it's summer here, and the down jackets and warm underwear of various manufacturers are on sale at low prices. The price is just right, and customers like Yang Feng who buy in bulk can enjoy more discounts.
