Cardiff is the capital of Wales and the largest city in the Principality of Wales and the ninth largest city in the United Kingdom.
The Duchy of Wales is a political entity of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which, together with England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, forms the main body of the British island.
The Prince of Wales is currently the nominal supreme head of the Principality of Wales, and is now held by Prince Charles, the first in line to the British royal family.
Cardiff is an important port and industrial and service centre in the southwest of England.
At the beginning of the 20th century, it was the world's largest coal exporter.
Cardiff's modern streets and buildings coexist with old streets and old churches.
Cardiff is home to a large number of castles and historical monuments, some dating back to the Roman era.
Today's destination for Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang is Cardiff, to be exact, the Cardiff City Flea Market on Klyzmere Street, northeast of Cardiff.
Before buying the car in the morning, Guo Xiaoxiang contacted the second-hand book wholesaler, whose shop is in the Cardiff Flea Market, and is the largest second-hand book wholesaler in Cardiff and the whole of Wales.
Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang ran for an hour and a half to reach the 110-mile journey, and after getting off the highway, under the leadership of Guo Xiaoxiang, the two cars soon arrived at the Cardiff City Flea Market.
"Hey, Mike, it's really nice to see you again."
As soon as he got out of the car, Guo Xiaoxiang hugged a big black man with a head of 1.95 meters.
Yang Jing had never seen this black man before, but he knew that this black man was Michael Miller, the largest used book wholesaler in Wales, as the fat man said.
"Aha, Guo, I'm glad to see you again.
We haven't seen each other in three years, haven't we?
I'm sure you've made a lot of money in London and don't want to come to a small place like Cardiff.
"The black man is very enthusiastic, and he pats the fat man on the back with some exaggeration, and the shot is called a choppy ......
The fat man told Yang Jing that he had picked up two estates near Cardiff three or four years ago, and that it was at that time that he met Michael Miller.
The fat man has been in the UK alone for almost six years, and he has worked in the "rich garbage disposer" industry for five years, so in this industry, the fat man's connections are far from being comparable to Yang Jing.
It's like these books from Vardy Castle this time, if there is no fat man, Yang Jing can only pull these books to London to deal with, where is like now, the fat man just made a phone call, these books have been found, and it is so convenient, as for the price, it is very suitable.
Even if these books are pulled to London to be processed, I am afraid that they can be sold for a maximum price of 1,700 pounds, where is it like now, not to mention the time and effort, the price is very fair.
"Mike, I'll introduce you, this is my good partner and my compatriot, Albert Young, Old 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 his dealings with the British.
The name Albert stands for "noble and intelligent" in English, and Yang Jing certainly did not hesitate to use such a name......
Yang Jing shook hands with Brother Hei, Brother Hei's hands were very rough, and they were all calluses, obviously this Brother Hei was also a master who could bear hardships and stand hard work.
"Would you two like a cup of coffee first?"
I just got some authentic Blue Mountain coffee from a friend two days ago, and you two came at the right time. ” The fat man smiled and waved his hand and said, "Mike, the coffee is free, you'd better take a look at this batch of books first, I guarantee that you are satisfied." ” As he spoke, the fat man opened the trunk and rear door of the golf, and Yang Jing also opened the trunk, and a stack of neatly tied tomes with rope immediately appeared.
"These are good books from Valdy Castle, and most of them were published in the fifties and sixties of the last century, but these books must have been used by the old Baron Valdy to decorate the study, and they were largely untouched, so they are in very good condition.
At least I've been doing it for so many years, and I've never seen an old book in such good condition.
The fat man explained, his tone full of pride.
Michael Miller didn't speak, but opened a few stacks of books casually, took out a few books from them and flipped through them, and then nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Guo, you're not wrong, these books are really good." ” Guo Xiaoxiang smiled and said: "Mike, these books are a total of two hundred and six, basically a tome of hundreds of pages, if it is at the current price, basically the price of a book is more than thirty pounds, not to mention that there are many professional books in these books, and the price of these books is even more expensive." ” Books in England are much more expensive than books in China, and the same book may only sell for 20 dollars in China, but in Britain it is almost 20 pounds, and the difference is almost ten times in between.
And in the UK, some specialist books are more expensive.
For example, if you take out a professional book on accounting, you can take out a random book that would have cost seventy or eighty pounds or even more than one hundred pounds.
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 to second-hand book flea markets.
Students, in particular, are the main buyers of second-hand book flea markets.
It is precisely for this reason that many second-hand booksellers have been born in the UK, and the black brother in front of him is the largest second-hand bookseller in Wales.
Brother Hei closed a tome, looked at Guo Xiaoxiang and said, "Guo, we are old friends, I didn't see the quality of these books when you called me before, so I gave you a compromise price."
Now that I see these books, I'm satisfied.
Well, I can add three hundred pounds to the price of the morning, and make up a whole number, two thousand pounds!
” The fat man shook his head with a smile and said, "Mike, you're such a black-hearted guy!"
If you put such a good book on the Internet, I can guarantee that each book will sell for a high price.
These books are not published in recent years, these books are more than half a century old, and they are still in such good condition, they can be regarded as antiques.
And my buddies and I have been working hard for these books for three days, can you bear to give us such a low price?
This is obviously not fair. ” Brother Hei smacked his mouth and muttered a few words in a low voice, and then said, "2,200 pounds, this is the highest price I can give." ” The fat man smiled and stretched out three fingers and said, "Man, I know very well that if these books are placed here for you, they can bring you at least more than five thousand pounds, and if you catch up with those who like old books, ten thousand pounds is not necessarily an impossible thing."

So, I think the three thousand pounds you paid us should be a more appropriate figure. ” …… Although Yang Jing boasted that he could do this kind of bargaining, he would never be able to do it like a fat man.
Therefore, Yang Jing stood aside and did not speak, watching the two of them bargain there.
In the end, the price of the books was fixed at 2,600 pounds, which was 900 pounds more than the price that the fat man had said in the morning.
In other words, after Yang Jing spent 1,500 pounds to buy the carnival in the morning, he still has 600 pounds left!
ps: It's Monday, let's have a chapter in the early morning, everyone will watch it first.
