After two days and nights of bumpy travel, the train finally arrived at Guangzhou Station.
As soon as he stepped out of the station, a unique blend of humid air, bustling voices, and various food aromas hit him. The sight before him was filled with a continuous flow of people, more fashionable and daring outfits, individual vendors and advertising signs everywhere, and the sound of Cantonese chatter that he could barely understand. All of this made Jiang Tao feel the stark contrast between this southern city and his northern hometown, where a wave of commercial energy and vibrant modernity washed over him.
"Indeed, it's different..." Jiang Tao took a deep breath, his eyes filled with curiosity and caution. "This place is a land of opportunity, but it could also be fraught with pitfalls. I need to stay alert."
He found a reasonably priced small hotel near the station to rest for a bit before heading straight to the largest electronic trading market in the area the next day, which would later gain national fame.
Upon entering the market, Jiang Tao felt as if he had fallen into an ocean of electronic components! Stalls were packed closely together, shops lined up in rows, and counters were overflowing with all sorts of electronic parts, circuit boards, tools, and instruments—some familiar to him and others not. The air was thick with the scent of solder and plastic.
He suppressed his excitement and began to search carefully for the parts he needed. With his previous experience in repairing imported equipment and the assistance of his ability for diagnostic support, he quickly found several stalls that appeared reliable and specialized in imported dismantled components.
The integrated circuit chips, special model capacitors, resistors, and even some miniature sensors that were hard to find in the mainland market could be located here. Although prices were not cheap, they were indeed available! He meticulously assessed each item using his ability to determine authenticity and quality before haggling with the vendors. In the end, he managed to procure a batch of high-end components at a relatively reasonable price.
During his procurement process, he also engaged with some stall owners and technicians. He discovered that the technical atmosphere here was indeed richer than in the mainland; many people were well-versed in new technologies and products. Thanks to his solid theoretical foundation and occasional displays of precise judgment, he earned respect from some individuals.
In front of a stall specializing in various bearings and miniature motors, Jiang Tao picked up a sample of a miniature bearing said to be imported from Japan. With a sweep of his mind, he immediately assessed its precision and material quality as top-notch. He then took out one of his own high-hardness ball bearing samples from "Jiang's Special Supply" and handed it to the vendor. "Boss, what do you think of this ball bearing?"
The vendor was a lean middle-aged man who weighed the ball bearing in his hand before pinching it between his fingers. A look of surprise crossed his face. "Wow? This ball bearing... has high hardness and an exceptionally smooth surface! It looks even better than my batch from Japan! Where did you get such good stuff?"
Jiang Tao smiled slightly. "It's made by my small workshop; it's nothing special. I just wanted to ask if there’s a market for high-quality parts like this in the southern region."
"A market? Absolutely!" The vendor's eyes lit up. "Many factories are pursuing high quality these days, especially those involved in exports; they have very high requirements for components! If you can provide these ball bearings consistently at a reasonable price, you won’t have any trouble selling them! How much stock do you have? What’s your price?"
Jiang Tao felt a surge of joy; it seemed there was potential for expanding his parts wholesale business into the south! Instead of immediately quoting a price, he engaged in an in-depth conversation with the vendor to understand market conditions, channels, and demands in the south. The vendor's surname was Chen; he was quite talkative and seemed interested in establishing contact with Jiang Tao. As their conversation progressed, they found common ground and exchanged contact information to discuss potential cooperation further.
Leaving Boss Chen's stall, Jiang Tao felt that this trip had been immensely rewarding. Not only had he acquired urgently needed parts but he had also opened up potential sales channels in the southern market while meeting potential partners like Boss Chen.
"I definitely came to the right place! Here there are not only parts but also endless opportunities!" Jiang Tao's spirits soared.
He knew that for his "Jiang Hai Industries" to truly ride the waves of success, he had to immerse himself in this economic tide from the south! His gaze turned toward even further horizons—the legendary electronic product dismantling markets rumored to be filled with "foreign waste." He sensed that there might be even greater treasures hidden there...
