Not even thirty minutes later, Wang Erdan, carrying large bags and packages, rushed back and found that the crowd around the stall had grown by three layers. Simultaneously, four or five market security guards were present, maintaining order and organizing the queue.
At this point, the queue had divided into two columns. After asking, Wang Erdan learned that one column was responsible for selling blind boxes, while the other was for recycling and exchanging Jiangnan Coins. Both queues had a large number of people.
With no other option, Wang Erdan obediently joined the very end of the queue for exchanging Jiangnan Coins and eagerly watched the people ahead of him.
The queue moved extremely slowly. Wang Erdan waited for over an hour and a half before it was finally his turn.
"Hello, how many Jiangnan Coins do you wish to exchange?" asked Shen Yuequn's wife, who was in charge of the exchange. She looked both tired and somewhat excited. xxs壹贰
"So many, I want to exchange them all!!" Wang Erdan dragged over a large backpack that he was carrying and the three snake-skin bags in his hands.
"So many... It's Brother Erdan!" His wife was also taken aback and only then did she recognize him. He was a regular customer at the stall, coming almost every day. No wonder he had accumulated so many products.
"Boss's wife, please take a look. How much money can I get for these items!" Wang Erdan said quickly, as he was waiting to exchange these items for money to save his life!
"No, these items cannot be exchanged for money, only for our Jiangnan Coins!" Shen Yuequn's wife stated cautiously. She wouldn't normally be this cautious, but Shen Yuequn had told her that coins could be recognized, but money couldn't. If you claimed it was money, then Uncle Police would call you for a meal!
Therefore, Shen Yuequn's wife directly corrected Wang Erdan's mistake.
Wang Erdan didn't care about the details; he just wanted to get rid of the useless things piled up at his home.
"Brother Erdan, let me make it clear. Only if the packaging, products, and the three-guarantee certificates are well-preserved can they be exchanged for Jiangnan Coins. Otherwise, we can't do business!" Shen Yuequn's wife said.
"Of course! Of course!" Wang Erdan nodded vigorously. After all, except for a few items he used himself or for his wife, the rest were stacked at home, with their packaging boxes still unopened. His items were absolutely fine!
As expected, there were no issues with the items Wang Erdan brought. However, the quantity was so large that the boss's wife was counting them slowly, which made the people queuing behind him a little impatient. But upon seeing the increasing amount of Wang Erdan's items and the possibility of him accumulating 8888 Jiangnan Coins, everyone became less anxious.
After all, they all wanted to see for themselves if Jiangnan Coins could truly be exchanged for mobile phones.
"A total of 8450 Jiangnan Coins!" After counting, the boss's wife announced the final number.
"Brother Erdan, here is your membership card. It already contains 8450 Jiangnan Coins, but this card can only be used with our machines!" Shen Yuequn's wife also took out a card similar to a bank card and handed it to Wang Erdan. This was Wang Erdan's membership card.
In fact, this membership card was the same as a bank card. As for the equipment, Boss Huang had directly instructed Liu Nian to procure it from Shenzhen. A set of machines with ten thousand membership cards cost a total of 500 yuan, which was indeed a bit expensive.
However, the membership card was necessary. Otherwise, relying on written records or issuing physical Jiangnan Coins would not be feasible.
At the same time, this result made everyone sigh in unison. Good heavens, they were still short of 440 Jiangnan Coins. This was maddening!
"Old Wang, buy a few more blind boxes!"
"Yeah, they're only short of 440 Jiangnan Coins. It's a shame not to buy some blind boxes!" people around them said. In fact, Wang Erdan himself was thinking the same thing.
With the mobile phone only 440 Jiangnan Coins away, everyone knew they had to push further.
Thus, Wang Erdan, who had originally intended to use his plastic stick to forcefully demand money and start a fight, hesitantly pulled out a 50 yuan bill from his underwear and handed it to Shen Yuequn's wife.
This wife was also formidable. Unconcerned about where the money was fished out from, she directly put it into her pocket. Wang Erdan was allowed to pick five blind boxes, and upon opening them, they all turned out to be wallets.
Wang Erdan's face twitched. One wallet was worth 20 Jiangnan Coins. These five only amounted to 100 Great Qian Coins, and he was still short by 340.
With no other choice, Wang Erdan had to take out another 50 yuan. This time, it was again all wallets.
Finally, after spending another 150 yuan, opening a pair of leather shoes and three belts, along with eleven wallets, Wang Erdan managed to accumulate the required 8888 points.
"Sister, there really are mobile phones, right!" Wang Erdan rubbed his palms together.
"Of course it's real!" Shen Yuequn's wife carefully moved a box from the back of the cart. Inside, there were more than ten meticulously packaged boxes.
"Here, the blind boxes in here are all mobile phone blind boxes, just in different colors!" Shen Yuequn's wife explained.
"Are there any particularities about the colors?" Wang Erdan asked proficiently. A circle had already formed around the blind boxes, and within this circle, the products inside the blind boxes were classified even more meticulously.
The official side only divided them by product type and special limited master editions, but the circle classified the products even more precisely.
Most of the items in the blind boxes were not valuable, but if they were white, it was extraordinary. This was because it was rumored to be made from rhinoceros hide. More importantly, white ones were extremely rare, almost as rare as giant pandas. Especially white wallets, which could fetch 200 yuan each in the circle!
In addition, some styles of leather bags and shoes were also very popular. Although these styles were not limited master editions or soul-bearing works of art, their limited quantity meant that many were unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that had not been found elsewhere in the market, thus commanding very high prices.
However, these people probably didn't know that the unique ones were actually trial products from the product development process. Because the styles were considered unappealing or too difficult to sell, only a few were produced before production ceased, and Boss Huang simply tossed them into the warehouse.
Of course, very few people recognized these different styles. Only the most seasoned enthusiasts could differentiate them. Ordinary people relied directly on colors. White was the rarest, followed by gold, then blue. White, black, and red were the least valuable.
"I heard that among the thousands of mobile phones this time, there are only three golden mobile phones!" the boss's wife whispered. The people around them looked enlightened, realizing that the golden mobile phones would see their prices skyrocket.
"Give me a golden one!" Wang Erdan prayed. He rummaged through the box and finally picked out a carefully selected blind box. Upon opening it, the packaging clearly displayed a silver mobile phone.
Wang Erdan's expression immediately brightened. If the golden ones were valuable, the silver ones should not be bad either.
Then he asked, "Boss's wife, how many silver ones are there in this batch?"
"Oh, silver mobile phones are quite popular. I heard that one-third of this batch is black or gray, and another third is white or silver!" the boss's wife replied truthfully.
