Liu Lanhua is a bold and decisive young woman.

Sure enough, she discovered a business opportunity as soon as she arrived in Yanjing City.

Tianle Palace has a particularly large clothing wholesale market!

The store has everything: clothes, shoes, bags, and sparkly accessories, all at very low prices!

Liu Lanhua was like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar, spending her days wandering around the Tianlegong Wholesale Market, thoroughly enjoying herself.

Moreover, she didn't just wander around for nothing; she would come back every day with a big bag of things.

She bought clothes for Ning Ruoruo, Li Ping, and Li Jiabao.

Li Ping, wearing a crystal hair clip, kept admiring herself in the mirror, "So pretty! Yeah, really pretty!"

The main attraction is the unique design of this hair clip, with each purple crystal sparkling under the light.

Ning Ruoruo came over to join in the fun while she was doing her homework, "Sister Hua, why did you buy so many clothes?"

There are forty or fifty sets in total. How long will it take to wear them all?!

Liu Lanhua, her eyebrows dancing with excitement, fiddled with a small suit jacket in her hands, exclaiming, "Buy it! Make money!"

These clothes will probably be snapped up as soon as they arrive in Huichuan County.

As for the profit, conservatively speaking, it should be two or three times the initial investment!

Li Xiangdong picked up a stylish, solid khaki dress made of Dacron and asked, "How much is this?"

Liu Lanhua thought for a moment, "Eight yuan!"

"How much?!"

"This one's fifteen yuan, this one's three yuan... Yes, that's right! This one's eight yuan!"

Li Xiangdong was immediately shocked.

Clothes produced by the Lijiapo Garment Factory are not this cheap!

He immediately felt a sense of crisis and knew he had to bring the news to Aunt Wang Xing'er when he got back.

A few people were chatting when Sun Zhihe arrived with Xiao Fu.

"Uncle Xiangdong, I'm here!"

Since the successful surgery, Xiao Fu can now run and jump, but Sun Zhihe doesn't dare to let him do strenuous exercise.

Li Xiangdong turned around, picked up Xiao Fu, and weighed him in his arms. "Hmm, Xiao Fu is heavier now!"

"Of course, I always listen to my uncle and eat well."

Little Fulai's face is chubby and fair, a stark contrast to his previous dark and thin appearance.

"Xiangdong, you came without telling me! If I hadn't gone to Sister Hongmei's for noodles, I wouldn't have known!"

Sun Zhihe complained.

"Hi, I know you're busy! I was thinking of coming to the store to see you in a couple of days."

"You're really bold. It's a business partnership, and you haven't been around for months on end."

"I trust you to handle things."

Li Xiangdong's words were concise and to the point.

Although Sun Zhihe said that, he was still very pleased with Li Xiangdong's trust in him.

"Oh, right, I have something important to tell you!"

Sun Zhihe told Xiao Fu to go play with Li Ping and the others, while he sat in the courtyard, eager to share the news he had just received with Li Xiangdong.

Li Xiangdong poured him a cup of tea, but Sun Zhihe didn't bother to drink it. "Let me tell you," he said, "a batch of apartments has been released in Tuanjiehu! 400 yuan per square meter! The smallest is 60 square meters, two bedrooms and one living room, and the largest is over 80 square meters, three bedrooms and one living room! However, the location isn't great, it's a bit remote, and old Beijing residents don't really like it. Of course, the price is also a bit too high. So there are only 161 apartments in this complex, and it's been on the market for over half a year now, but nobody's buying!"

Tuanjiehu, located on the edge of the East Third Ring Road, was not very prosperous at this time.

The smallest apartment in this complex, even at 60 square meters, costs several hundred dollars!

Not to mention that everyone in this day and age is waiting for their work unit to allocate housing, which family can easily come up with 20,000 or 30,000 yuan?

The house is just sitting there.

Unable to sell their properties, the developer became anxious and turned to Sunac Real Estate, which is now quite well-known.

"Manager Han said that if we can sell it, we'll get a 5% commission!"

Sun Zhihe held up one hand and emphasized, "Five percent!"

They can earn a 1,500 yuan commission for selling a house worth 30,000 yuan!

"However, we've never done this kind of business before. Manager Han said we need to sign a contract with breach of contract clauses and such, but I'm not sure what to do."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangdong's heart skipped a beat.

"Brother Sun, if we buy it, can we get a discount?"

"Oh? You want to buy it? It'll definitely be cheaper. Manager Han said the lowest price is 380 yuan per square meter."

"Okay! This deal is worth it!"

These days, Li Xiangdong's mind keeps replaying many famous villages from his past life, such as Huaxi Village, Daqiuzhuang, and Nanjie Village...

These once nationally renowned village collectives enjoyed their glory and prosperity, but with economic development...

Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore.

Li Xiangdong didn't think he had the ability to get Lijiapo out of this vicious cycle, so some things needed to be planned in advance.

It's time to switch tracks and prepare in advance.

This idea had been simmering in his mind for a long time, and this impulse reached its peak when he saw the high-quality, stylish, and low-priced clothes that Liu Lanhua wholesaled.

Li Xiangdong made a decision that shocked everyone in Lijiapo.

8 PM.

Lijiapo.

The square of the brigade headquarters.

Bright streetlights, smooth cement pavement, and rows of neatly arranged benches where people of all ages from Lijiapo sit.

"Dear uncles, aunts, and grandmas, I've called you all here for this meeting today because I have some very important news to share!"

Li Xiangdong sat alone on the stage, holding a microphone in his hand, his calm voice coming from the speakers on both sides.

He glanced around the room, then took out a khaki dress from the side.

"Look everyone, isn't this dress beautiful? Guess how much it costs?"

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what Li Xiangdong was up to.

Speaking of clothes, Wang Xing'er walked onto the stage and carefully examined the dress. "This dress is really well-tailored, and the material is also good, thick and nice. It looks better than the dresses produced in our factory."

Wang Xing'er asked Li Xiangdong, "Dongzi, where did you get this?"

Instead of answering, Li Xiangdong asked, "Auntie, if you were to set a price for these clothes, how much would you set it for?"

"Hmm... For wholesale, the minimum is fifteen coins!"

Li Xiangdong's eyes gleamed. "These clothes! They're from the Yanjing Tianle Palace wholesale market! Eight yuan a piece!"

"What?"

Eight yuan?!

"How is this possible!"

"..."

Wang Xing'er's face turned pale instantly, and the villagers below also became restless.

Even if you sell these clothes at a market, they'd cost twenty or thirty yuan a piece!

In their minds, things in big cities should be more expensive than those in small towns.

How come it's reversed?!

Li Xiangdong put the clothes away and continued, "Do you all think that life in our village is better than that of people in the city?"
