Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Swipe the Black Card As You Please!
The transfer of ownership for the RV and the sports car was quickly taken care of, and Jiang Yan also finished processing the paperwork for the van.
She even had someone clean and disinfect the entire cab and van space.
Dressed as usual in casual sportswear, wearing a wig, cap, and a mask, Jiang Yan drove the van directly to the city's largest wholesale market.
The wholesale market was located quite far from the city center, and various delays had occurred with the vehicle sale procedure.
By the time she arrived in the van, it was already past ten in the morning.
Jiang Yan had researched online and found that buying basic foods like grains and oils was best done at places like this—the prices were relatively affordable, and most importantly, the quality and supply were guaranteed.
She had an appointment with Du Ziteng to view properties in the afternoon, so she planned to get the bulk of the staple goods sorted out in the morning.
This was Jiang Yan's first visit to a wholesale market.
Although it was already late, the place was bustling with people.
Jiang Yan spent an hour touring the whole market, inquiring about prices, and getting a basic understanding of the market situation for staple foods before finally entering the largest grain and oil wholesale store in the market.
Several employees were attending customers inside the store, and their eyes became vigilant at the sight of her, with her backpack, masked face, and cap.
The store owner, however, was more perceptive and immediately recognized that the fully armed girl in trendy sportswear was someone with substantial purchasing power.
She paused the drama she was watching on her pad, stood up, and walked towards Jiang Yan with a cheerful greeting,
"Beauty, are you looking to buy something?"
Jiang Yan glanced at the other customers and spoke in a lowered voice, "Madam, I want all the goods in your store."
The store owner: "??!!"
What, everything?!!
Did I hear that right?!
I must have gotten up too quickly and am hallucinating...
The store owner, experienced in big business and accustomed to surprises, curved her eyes into a smile and asked again,
As the shop owner finished speaking, Jiang Yan had already taken out her bank card:
"Calculate the total for me, both the deposit and the full amount. You can swipe for the deposit first. For the delivery, I'll give you a few warehouse addresses later—just contact me before your people head over."
The store owner took a quick glance at her black card, her pupils dilated with shock for a second, and after a swift scan of the other customers in the store, she carefully gestured towards a tea table in the back of the shop with a cautious voice:
"Little sister, how about you come sit in my room and have a cup of tea? I have a few things to clarify with you. After all, your order is super large, and I don't want to make any mistakes that might cause you a delay."
For someone in business like her, being able to run a big operation that stood firm in the market for many years was also related to her careful and cautious approach.
She actually liked having big customers like Jiang Yan, but she was also afraid that she might have other motives for buying so much on the whim.
After all, the government has always been cracking down on hoarding.
Moreover, the quantities Jiang Yan needed would require arranging additional supplies.
The price of the goods and commodities futures had connections too.
If anything went wrong in the middle, they might have to handle the goods priced high due to shipments arriving during peak pricing, potentially leaving them holding expensive stock.
Jiang Yan glanced inside the room and nodded in agreement.
The store owner was forthright and clever. The two quickly finished communicating.
She told Jiang Yan that because she was buying such a large amount of goods, she could only pay a deposit, not an earnest deposit.
Although the two terms sounded similar, their meanings were different.
After all, an earnest deposit could be refunded if the order was later cancelled, but a deposit couldn't be.
Jiang Yan clearly understood.
In addition, the store owner mentioned a big issue: White Sugar was a strategic material, and concerning salt, she was buying too much to sell her all at once.
If she insisted on buying so much, they might have to charge extra to seek out channels and relationships.
For Jiang Yan, this was not a problem.
After all, problems that money can solve aren't really big problems.
