Chapter 167: Purchasing Goods from the South

After school started, without the "Sow" group, the air in the class became fresher.

The Sow Group was the nickname that classmates privately gave to Mu Jianguo and Qu Zhuzhu. The two reaped the fruits of their own actions and no one sympathized with them.

Zhang Shiye became really busy. Teacher Zheng discussed with him implicitly about future economic issues. Zhang Shiye had memories of his past life, and every time during the discussion, he could point out the key issues directly. Teacher Zheng often felt that he had really found a treasure.

During the summer vacation of their junior year, the couple left their child with their parents and took a train to the south again.

This time I go to the south, in addition to learning other people's technology, I also want to bring back some supplies. Various electrical appliances have become popular in Zhuzhou, including televisions, washing machines, refrigerators, and the most popular one at this time is electric fans.

Zhang Shiye decided to stock up first and then sell some after the Chinese New Year, so that he could replenish his start-up capital.

Three days later, it was already evening when they arrived in Zhuzhou. After dinner, the two began to stroll around. Zhuzhou was already full of vendors setting up stalls, selling all kinds of things. There was nothing you could not find.

Xia Wanyang was not interested in items. She was dazzled by the variety of snacks. She wanted to try everything she saw. If she couldn't finish it, there was Zhang Shiye, and if Zhang Shiye couldn't finish it, there was room for him. With such confidence, she bought everything she saw.

The two men started from the next day and ran around for two whole days. The soles of their shoes were worn thin. Finally, they found the owners of the three factories. After Zhang Shiye's eloquence, they finally negotiated the lowest price.

There are already many small private factories in Zhuzhou now. The bosses personally go out to sell products every day. When they encountered such a large order, although they were confused, they still accepted it.

I ordered 500 table clocks, each costing 15 yuan, and could sell them for 40 yuan when I got home.

I ordered 500 radios, which cost me 80 yuan to purchase, and I could sell them for 150 yuan when I got home.

I ordered 500 television sets, the purchase price was 450 yuan, and I could sell them for 1,000 yuan each.

I ordered 500 refrigerators, the purchase price was 380 yuan, and I could sell them for 900 yuan.

The most important electric fan had a purchase price of 80 yuan, and could be sold for at least 180 yuan in Shanghai and Beijing. Xia Wanyang waved his hand and directly purchased 2,000 units.

This trip cost more than 600,000 yuan just for purchasing goods, and Xia Wanyang's face turned pale with heartache.

Zhang Shiye hugged her in his arms and coaxed her, "Don't feel bad. Think about how much money you can make from these things. If you sell them all, you can make nearly a million. Then your husband can convert them into cash and put them in your space, okay?"

Xia Wanyang pouted, looking unhappy. "How can such expensive things be so easy to sell? I didn't think too much when I bought them, but I felt so bad when I took the money out. You have to sell them quickly~"

Zhang Shiye held the little face and kissed it on both sides, and finally kissed it hard on the lips, "Give me half a year, I guarantee that they will all be sold!"

After the last batch of goods was stored in the space, Zhang Shiye took Xia Wanyang to Yangcheng again. The two of them stayed in the largest Yangcheng Hotel. They didn't go anywhere every day. They either went to the restaurant to eat or walked around the lobby to see how people received foreign guests and how they welcomed guests.

I have to say, the service is really good. In Shenyang and Shanghai, no matter whether it is a guesthouse or a state-owned restaurant, almost all the staff have bad faces. They say "eat if you want to, eat if you don't want to, leave" all the time. But in Guangzhou, every service staff keeps saying hello, please, thank you and welcome. No wonder the price is the highest!

After wandering around for a few days, the two set off back to Shanghai. They had completed everything they needed to learn and buy. The trip took half a month, but the gains were huge.

After returning home, Xia Wanyang gave Yuan Hong the keys to several rooms in the house near the school. "Sister-in-law, you have time to decorate it and buy some things. After the Chinese New Year, you can invite Uncle Yuan and Aunt Yuan to come over. The house over there is a bit run-down. Now there are a few students from our school living there. They just stay there and don't care about the environment. But your family is going to live there, so you'd better clean it up!"

Yuan Hong said quickly, "Sister-in-law, you are not living here for free. I will pay you the rent. You can charge me the same amount as you rent it to your classmates. The fourth brother and Zhang Shiyu are brothers from the same mother. If he is promising and willing to help his brother, it would be fine for sister-in-law to enjoy the good life with him. But there is absolutely no reason for you to support my family."

Xia Wanyang thought about it and said, "Five dollars a month for a room. Once Zhang Shiye starts working, he will be considered an employee. How about making it free then?"

Yuan Hong took out ten big unity bills and handed them to Xia Wanyang on the spot, "Take this hundred yuan. My sister-in-law has a large family and needs four rooms. Twenty yuan a month, this is for five months!"

Xia Wanyang retreated, "No need, just give it once a month, that's what my classmates all give it to me!"

Yuan Hong smiled, "Your second brother now earns more than 50 yuan a month, and we both have savings. A hundred yuan used to be a lot for me, but now it's nothing. Besides, I don't feel bad at all for giving you this money. You've been supporting us for so many years, and we all know how much we have spent. Just take it with peace of mind!"

Xiao Xingxing and Xiao Yueyue are four years old now. Xia Wanyang’s favorite thing to do is to dress up her daughters. There is plenty of fabric in her space. Several sisters-in-law and mother-in-law can make clothes. She draws the patterns herself and then gives them to her sisters-in-law to make.

He Hua majored in fashion design. She couldn't let go of Xia Wanyang's drawings and was inspired by them. Several boys in her family also benefited from her and dressed very fashionably.

Da Wa had a date, a classmate of theirs, named Yu Qing. The girl was pretty, but there was too much lust in her eyes. After coming to Zhang Shifeng's house once, she started to urge Da Wa to get married.

She asked for a betrothal gift of 500 yuan, and also a TV and a bicycle. She didn't even mention dowry.

Su Man had saved up a lot of money, so she could afford these things, but she wanted a daughter-in-law who would truly live with the eldest son, not one who was after his house. Even if she was after it, it would be useless because the house belonged to the fourth son and his wife!

Da Wa was bewitched by Yu Qing and had a big fight with Zhang Shifeng because of this.

Zhang Shifeng slapped him in anger. Da Wa had already moved to the school dormitory and hadn't been home for half a month. Although Zhang Heping and Aunt Qiao didn't say anything, they were very anxious. Zhang Shiye and Xia Wanyang saw it all. They didn't want to do anything at first, but now they had no choice!
