Xiao Zhang said his store's sales, the old beams and Wang Wei Ren aunt very good.
Auntie Wang says that her hometown in Jiangxi Jingdezhen, itself from the 14-year-old school teacher from Jiugen Ceramics. After retiring in 1996 from the factory, could have stayed home to receive a pension is easy living a lie. Unexpectedly, her husband and old beams are proposed to go to Yiwu to do business at this time. "There had never been seen friends, often to get Yiwu sell Jingdezhen porcelain. He said that Yiwu is a treasure of doing business, we might go look for opportunities." Auntie Wang listened very hesitant, when she was 52 years old, his wife has been 55 years old, so much older, you can run into some heaven and earth do?
However, the old beams bent on coming to Yiwu. Unexpectedly, the wait is 14 years. Experienced the bitterness among a variety of Kula, and now both men in the new market has two shops, the location just in the central aisle of the stairs.

Auntie Wang says the car at 2 pm, 5 o'clock the next morning before reaching their destination. Despite the trip tired, but the two that day was to visit a lot of plants. "We spent four days in Chaozhou, and then walk more than 10 enterprises." Return to Yiwu, the old beams brought back a lot of new samples. He intends to try before you frame for a while, if a good sale, getting goods back to manufacturers.

However, the old beams are unmoved, or, as always, sat shop orders.
Liang will be the old car, but the older, old woman would not let him open. So he bought a battery on his own car, every morning by 8:30 to arrive on time and place, home from work until 17 o'clock.
See the old man have to do business mood, Wang aunt could only accompany him to the market. "I have lived in Yiwu Hotel, near the road every day I take 11 cars to go to work." Auntie Wang says, do not come to eat outside the hotel because of the food, every day she comes with "field rations."
