Fourth brother: "Isn't staying in a hotel inconvenient?"

Why don't you stay here?

"Here are brothers who will listen to your call, and there's always someone cooking in the kitchen. We even have Northern-style dishes!" The fourth brother was always by Lao Lei's side, so he understood what Lao Lei meant.

"There's no need to stay here! A quiet, empty courtyard would be fine too!" Shen Qian hadn't expected them to want to keep an eye on him, as if they were afraid the couple would run away.

"Okay! I'll arrange it for you right away!"

"You sit down with Master Lei first!" The fourth brother pretended to be friendly and pressed Shen Qian into a chair. He said this politely and then left.

He also grabbed the portrait from the table.

Old Lei smiled again, as if the pleasant moment had never happened. "Brother, you have a bit of a temper!"

"There's no way around it, I'm really pressed for time!"

If I can't find Master Lei, I'll have to think of another way! Shen Qian's expression softened, and he no longer looked angry.

"Stay and take a look; I have some really hot items on hand!"

"I'll pick one for you first!" Old Lei's words were a plea for them to stay a few more days.

"We're just strolling around and seeing something new!"

I don't care about making money! What Shen Qian meant was, I just want to get one thing done: find someone.

Old Lei: "Nobody's going to bite their hand if they have too much money!"

"A thousand rooms in a mansion, but only eight feet of space to sleep in at night! I'm content as long as I'm well-fed and warmly clothed."

"I believe I can eat my fill and stay warm right now!" Shen Qian said.

Old Lei chatted with Shen Qian for a few more minutes.

The fourth brother came back.

Fourth Brother: "I've given the order to send someone to look for it immediately."

Also, keep an eye out for newcomers from other places; there's a big reward for whoever finds them.

Since this guy has a background as a cop and has killed people, he must be quite capable. I told everyone to be careful!

Old Lei nodded, "Brother Hei, helping you find that person is a favor between us!"

If the person is found, I'll pay for the ginseng anyway!

"Don't talk about half a tree or not!" he said, drawing out the last syllable.

What does this mean?

I've done my best to help you, so please sell me this ginseng!

Shen Qian remained silent as if he hadn't heard anything.

Fourth Brother: "Brother Heizi, how about I take you to your resting place first?"

Or I can take you to see the goods!

"Brother Lei, can I share some of our hot-selling stuff with my brothers?"

"Go on, go on! I've already given you all my little things as a favor!" Old Lei waved his hand.

The fourth brother put his arm around Shen Qian's shoulder and walked away laughing.

He was shorter than Shen Qian, which made him look a bit comical...

Song Yan really didn't intend to become a middleman this time, but the money just kept coming his way.

Imported televisions, refrigerators, and radios. There was one more thing, which Song Yan had heard of before but had never seen: bootleg cassette tapes.

Cut-out cassette tapes are leftover products disposed of by foreign cultural companies. They cut a hole in the tape and then treat it as plastic waste.

Many of them only had their outer casing damaged, but the tapes inside were completely undamaged.

For our country, which is still relatively underdeveloped, this is a rare and valuable thing.

Song Yan really didn't expect him to appear so early.

Song Yan's gaze swept across the cassette tape.

Fourth Brother: "Little sister, you really know your stuff. These are real gems, all originals. The outside is slightly damaged, but the inside is perfectly fine."

There are too few people who can afford to buy a tape recorder now, so good things are useless without a tape recorder.

We just got a few to test the waters, and there aren't many boxes.

I'll throw it in for you as an extra later.

It seems this stuff really wasn't worth much. There are at least several hundred boxes stacked up here.

Song Yan neither said he wanted it nor he didn't.

Refrigerators are a rare luxury in most households. Song Yan plans to buy a few for his own use.

Televisions are impossible to buy in stores. And they're incredibly expensive. Song Yan saw one once; a 14-inch one cost over 400 yuan.

With current prices, Shen Qian and Song Yan had a big meal for only 3.5 yuan.

In comparison, a television is definitely a luxury item!

However, the prices here are much lower, and the profit margin is more than double.

Radios and tape recorders are still in high demand.

Song Yan is also interested in many cosmetics, especially lipsticks.

These days, girls would be ecstatic to own a lipstick. The problem is, they're not easy to find.

The clothing styles are plentiful and extremely fashionable by today's standards. Moreover, the quality is excellent.

There are also quite a few small headdresses.

Song Yan definitely wouldn't like it. But from a modern perspective, it's extremely beautiful.

They cost a few cents each here. If you sell them, you can easily get a dime.

It was obvious that the fourth brother had shown him only the best products. And these items all had excellent profit margins.

Song Yan neither said he wanted nor didn't want the things he was looking at carefully. But Lao Si was taking notes on what Song Yan was paying attention to.

The fourth brother said he still had some machinery.

Song Yan didn't ask any questions and let him say whatever he wanted; in the end, Song Yan didn't offer any opinion.

Song Yan is truly content with a modest fortune; otherwise, he would never have been able to maintain his composure.

The production lines that Lao Si mentioned are practically nonexistent in China. As long as you start them, you can make money, and if you do them well, you can make a lot of money.

Shen Qian and Song Yan took a walk around to their place.

The place to stay was spacious, with several main rooms, and the bedding inside was all freshly washed.

The yard is quite spacious.

When they arrived, the food was already prepared.

It was indeed time to eat.

Regardless of their purpose in preparing, it was indeed very thorough. Shen Qian naturally expressed his gratitude.
