Chapter 13
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, which together with England, Scotland and Northern Ireland constitute the main body of the British mainland.
At present, the nominal supreme head of the Principality of Wales is the Prince of Wales, who is now concurrently held by Prince Charles, the first heir to the British royal family.
Cardiff is an important port and industrial and service center in southwest England.At the beginning of the [-]th century, it was the largest coal export port in the world.In Cardiff, modern streets and buildings coexist with old streets and ancient churches.Cardiff has a large number of castles and historical monuments, some of which can even be traced back to the Roman period.
The destination of Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang today is Cardiff. To be precise, it is the Cardiff City Flea Market on Cleezmere Street in the northeast of Cardiff.
Before buying the car in the morning, Guo Xiaoxiang contacted the second-hand book wholesaler. His shop is in the Cardiff flea market, and he is the largest second-hand book wholesaler in Cardiff and even Wales.
The 110-mile journey took Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang an hour and a half to get there. After getting off the highway, under the leadership of Guo Xiaoxiang, the two cars arrived at the Cardiff City Flea Market very quickly.
"Hey, Mike, it's really nice to see you again." After getting out of the car, Guo Xiaoxiang hugged a big black man with a head height of 1.9 meters [-].Yang Jing had never seen this black man before, but he knew that this black man was the Michael Miller that the fat man said, the largest wholesaler of used books in Wales.
"Aha, Guo, I'm also very happy to see you again. We haven't seen each other for three years, right? You must have made a lot of money in London, so you don't want to come to a small place like Cardiff." The black man was very enthusiastic, He patted Fatty's back in a somewhat exaggerated way, and the pat was called a choppy wave...
The fat man told Yang Jing that three or four years ago, he had cleaned up two manors near Cardiff, and it was at that time that he met Michael Miller.
Fatty has been in the UK by himself for almost six years, and he has worked in the "rich man's garbage disposal" business for five years. Therefore, in this industry, Fatty's connections are far from what Yang Jing can match. of.
It's like the books I got from Valdi Castle this time. If there is no fat man, Yang Jing can only take these books to London to deal with. Unlike now, the fat man just made a phone call, and these books are there. It is easy to settle down, and it is so convenient, as for the price, it is very suitable.
Even if these books were taken to London for processing, they would probably sell for [-] pounds at most, which is not like it is now, not to mention saving time and effort, but the price is still very reasonable.
"Mike, let me introduce you. This is my good partner and fellow countryman, Albert Yang, Lao Yang. This is Michael Miller, Cardiff's largest wholesaler of used books."
After Yang Jing came to the UK, he gave himself a British name to facilitate dealing with the British.The name Albert represents "nobility and intelligence" in English, and Yang Jing certainly used such a name without hesitation...
Yang Jing shook hands with Brother Hei. Brother Hei's hands were rough and covered with calluses. Obviously, Brother Hei was also a master who could endure hardships and stand hard work.
"Would you two have a cup of coffee first? I just got some real Blue Mountain coffee from a friend two days ago, and you two came just in time."
The fat man waved his hand with a smile and said, "Mike, the coffee is free. You'd better read these books first, I guarantee you will be satisfied."
As the fat man said, he opened the trunk and the rear door of the Golf, and Yang Jing also opened the trunk, and stacks of tomes neatly tied up with ropes appeared immediately.
"These books are all good books from Valdy Castle, most of which were published in the 60s and [-]s of the last century, but these books should have been used by the old Baron Valdy to decorate his study, and they have basically not been turned over, so these The condition of the book is very good. At least I have been doing it for so many years, and I have never seen an old book in such a good condition." Fatty explained from the side, his tone full of pride.
Michael Miller didn't speak, but opened a few stacks of books casually, took out a few from them and flipped through them, then nodded with great satisfaction and said: "Guo, you are right, these books are really great."
Guo Xiaoxiang smiled and said: "Mike, these books are [-] in total, and they are basically tomes with hundreds of pages. According to the current price, the price of a book is basically [-] pounds. The above, not to mention that there are many professional books in these books, the price of these books is more expensive."
Books in the UK are much more expensive than those in China. The same book may only sell for 20 national currency in China, but it is almost [-] pounds in the UK, and the difference is almost ten times.
And in the UK, some professional books are more expensive.For example, a professional book on accounting can cost seventy or eighty pounds or even over a hundred pounds if you just take it out.
That's right, the price of new books in the UK is so ridiculously expensive.Therefore, in the UK, many people do not go to bookstores to buy books, but go to second-hand book flea markets to buy them.Students, in particular, are the main buyers of second-hand book flea markets.
It is precisely for this reason that many second-hand book dealers have been born in the UK. The black brother in front of him is the largest second-hand book dealer in Wales.
Brother Hei closed a large tome, looked at Guo Xiaoxiang and said, "Guo, we are old friends. When you called me before, I didn't see the quality of these books, so I gave you a compromise." The price. Now that I have seen these books, I am very satisfied. Well, I can add three hundred pounds to the price in the morning, rounding up, two thousand pounds!"
The fat man shook his head with a smile and said: "Mike, you are really a black-hearted guy! If you sell such a good book online, I can guarantee that every book will sell for 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 for three days for these books, Don't you have the heart to give us such a low price? It's obviously not fair."
Brother Hei smacked his lips and muttered a few words in a low voice before saying, "2200 pounds, this is the highest price I can offer."
The fat man smiled and stretched out three fingers and said: "Man, I know very well that if these books are placed here with you, at least they can bring you more than five thousand pounds in income. If you meet someone who likes old books, a Ten thousand pounds is not necessarily an impossible thing. Therefore, I think you should pay us three thousand pounds should be a more appropriate figure."
……
Although Yang Jing claimed to be able to do this kind of bargaining, he definitely couldn't do it like a fat man.So Yang Jing stood aside without speaking, watching the two people bargaining there.
In the end, the price of these books was fixed at 2600 pounds, which was [-] pounds more than the price that the fat man said this morning.
In other words, after Yang Jing bought the Carnival for 1500 pounds in the morning, he still had 600 pounds left!
PS: It's Monday, let's start with a chapter in the early morning, and everyone will watch it first.In addition, please recommend tickets and collections. During the new book period, everyone's recommendation tickets and collections are very, very important to Lao Mo!
