Chapter 206 Gift Giving and Selling Goods

In the hotel, Xuanyue finally got to eat the food from her hometown. She was so hungry that she ate three big bowls of food in a row until she burped, and then she reluctantly put down her bowl and chopsticks.

"It's such a torture to go on this long journey!" Xuanyuemei sighed, but she knew that if the villagers asked her about it, she would definitely not say so, but would show off what she saw and heard in Guangzhou.

The main thing is that even if she said so, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

It was still early, only three o'clock in the afternoon, so Gao Mingcheng prepared to go out now to find channels to sell the goods.

He said to Xuanyuemei, "After I leave, please close the door and don't open it to anyone. Then take a shower and rest for a while."

Xuanyuemei was indeed a little sleepy, her eyelids were drooping, so she responded vaguely and wanted to fall onto the bed.

Seeing this, Gao Mingcheng smiled and said nothing.

After leaving the hotel, Gao Mingcheng went to the police station alone. It would be nonsense if he didn't rely on someone so powerful.

After entering the police station, he walked into Gao Guobing's office with ease.

Here, he met Xiao Jinfeng again.

They were all acquaintances, so Gao Mingcheng greeted Xiao Jinfeng first, and then asked about the situation of his third brother Gao Mingwan.

Xiao Jinfeng said, "Your brother is a good person. He studies hard and works diligently. He is a good candidate. When he has learned enough, I will take him with me to ride on the road and give him more experience. By the way, Mingcheng, you are so good at martial arts, but your brother is not good at martial arts at all?"

Xiao Jinfeng was somewhat curious and also somewhat regretful.

As the saying goes, a good father will have a good son. He originally thought that Gao Mingcheng was so capable, so as Gao Mingcheng's younger brother, Gao Mingwan should not be too bad.

It turned out that Gao Mingwan had absolutely no skills at all.

Born into a peasant family, he did have some strength, but that was all he could do.

Gao Mingcheng smiled when he heard this and said, "My third brother has been quite clever since he was young. He rarely gets into trouble, and even if he does, he still has me, his second brother, to protect him. He hasn't fought much, but it should be possible to teach him some basic defensive moves."

"That needs to be taught. When you go out, you have to be able to fight with others." Xiao Jinfeng said. Ever since he knew Gao Mingwan could not fight, in addition to learning how to drive and repair cars, his daily homework also included practicing martial arts.

Xiao Jinfeng came from a military background, so the moves he taught Gao Mingwan naturally came from the military, and they were all very practical moves.

Speaking of driving, Gao Mingcheng said, "By the way, Brother Xiao, I have to go to Zhangshu in October this year to attend the pharmaceutical trade fair there. I would like to rent a small truck at that time. Do you think your company can provide it?"

Last year, he took Gao Zhuang and Huang Dazhi with him, carrying six large bags of medicinal herbs, and squeezed on a train to Zhangshu. Fortunately, the two places were not far apart, otherwise it would have been very troublesome.

At that time, he planned to get a car next time he went there.

Now that he has the connections with Xiao Jinfeng, he will naturally rent a car from Xiao Jinfeng. So he said, "At the medicine fair, there are medicinal herbs from all over the world. If you are interested, Brother Xiao, you can also go there to buy some medicines that we don't have here, and then sell them in other places."

Xiao Jinfeng smiled and said, "I heard from Director Gao about your going to Zhangshu to sell medicine. Your Gaojia Village originally had a mountain of treasures but no market. Now you have found a way. In addition to making money for yourself, you have also helped the villagers make some money. This is great."

"Since you're going this year, let's go together. Don't mention whether to rent a car or not. We're all brothers, so we should just do each other a favor."

Xiao Jinfeng spoke sincerely. Gao Mingcheng smiled, but did not rush to answer. Instead, he looked at Gao Guobing.

Gao Guobing had been listening to them talking and nodded at this time, indicating that there was no problem.

So the matter was settled. With Xiao Jinfeng's truck, Gao Mingcheng could collect more medicinal herbs this year. In addition to collecting them from Gaojia Village, he could also expand the scope of collecting medicinal herbs to several surrounding villages.

In this way, you can make more money and start collecting it earlier.

After talking about this, Gao Mingcheng opened the canvas bag in his hand and said, "I went to Guangzhou this time mainly to buy some new and popular clothes there, and also bought some electronic watches and sunglasses to sell."

"Uncle, I brought you a gift. Do you like it? Gao Yue and Auntie also have one. Oh, Brother Xiao has one too!"

Gao Mingcheng took out things with a smile and handed Gao Guobing three things: two electronic watches and a pound of dried abalone.

What was handed to Xiao Jinfeng was a pair of frog-eye glasses.

Xiao Jinfeng took the frog-eye glasses, smiled, and said, "When I was on the street, I saw young people in big cities all loved wearing these. I was planning to buy one at that time, but I didn't have time. Now I finally have one."

Xiao Jinfeng said this very politely and put on his frog-eye glasses on the spot.

You know what, he’s quite handsome!

Gao Guobing also looked at Xiao Jinfeng and smiled: "Very handsome!"

He lowered his head to look at the two electronic watches on the table. They were products from the Sakura Country and looked very novel and unique. He took off the old watch from his wrist, put on the new one, and raised his wrist to admire it.

Xiao Jinfeng also smiled and praised: "Director Gao's watch is also very nice and fashionable."

Then the whole office was filled with cheerful laughter.

In a relaxed and pleasant environment, Gao Guobing asked Gao Mingcheng how much goods he had and whether he planned to sell them slowly or wholesale them all at once.

Gao Mingcheng actually didn’t have that much cargo, after all, he had limited manpower, and Xuanyuemei was not feeling well, so he had to take care of her along the way.

The two watches he gave to Gao Guobing were relatively expensive, but most of the goods he imported were cheap, with the purchase price being only a few dollars. However, the black and white LCD screen was the most futuristic fashion item of this era, and young people liked it very much. In addition, the price was not too expensive, so as long as he saved some money, he could still buy it.

He imported a lot of gold styles, which are the most tasteful and the best-selling ones.

Gao Mingcheng told the truth, and then got information about a person from Gao Guobing, who said that he could contact him if he wanted to sell goods, that the price was very fair, and that he would pay promptly.

Xiao Jinfeng asked about the purchase price of some goods, and then he became tempted.

His transportation company had just been established and there were only a few vehicles and people in the company. He only made short trips every now and then.

Now that I have heard the news from Guangzhou, I feel that if I want to make money, I have to travel long distances.

So he expressed his idea and said to Gao Guobing, "Director Gao, we were originally planning to buy a truck a month or two later. I think it would be better to buy it now. The sooner we buy, the sooner we can make money! As for the driver, how about borrowing one from the Transportation Bureau?"

Gao Guobing hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "You are in charge of the transportation company. If you think it's okay, then go for it! Is there enough money in the company to buy a car?"

Xiao Jinfeng said: "If you have enough money to buy a truck, buy one first, and then buy another one at the end of the year."

Gao Guobing had no objection, so it was settled.

Xiao Jinfeng finished chatting with Gao Guobing and prepared to say goodbye and leave. Gao Mingcheng did not stay long as he had other things to do.

But when he was about to leave, Gao Guobing stopped him and said, "You're going back to the village tomorrow, right? Come stay at my house tonight!"

Gao Mingcheng refused and said, "Duomei is not used to the local climate and is not feeling well, so I found a hotel for her to stay in and let her have a good rest."

There was an empty room in Gao Guobing's house. If he was alone, he could have stayed there without any shame. But now it was just him and Xuanyuemei, so that was a bit inconvenient.

In some places, when visiting someone else, a couple cannot sleep in the same bed, as it is said that this would be bad for the host family.

They are not too particular about it here, but if a couple goes to someone else's house and one of them is sick, that's very bad.

Gao Mingcheng had the same concept as people of later generations, that is, he would rather stay in a hotel than at the homes of relatives or friends, so as not to cause trouble to others and make himself less convenient and comfortable.

Gao Guobing didn't quite agree, but Gao Mingcheng had already found a hotel, so he didn't say anything more and just said, "Then come to my house for dinner tonight."

"Okay! I'll take Duomei over after I finish my work." This time Gao Mingcheng agreed.

So he went out and saw someone crying and complaining in the hall. There were policemen asking questions and taking notes. It seemed that some case had happened.

This case was not under Huang Dazhi's jurisdiction, so Huang Dazhi sat in his seat, lowered his head, and wrote or drew something.

Gao Mingcheng walked over and looked down, and found that Huang Dazhi was painting. The person in the painting looked familiar. He took a while to recognize that it was Xiao Song.

Well, if he hadn’t known Xiao Song first, he really wouldn’t have recognized her!

"Dazhi, come out for a moment." Gao Mingcheng said. There are too many people here, so it's not a good place to talk.

"Hey." Huang Dazhi responded. He had known that Gao Mingcheng was coming, and now he was somewhat happy to see Gao Mingcheng coming to see him.

The two walked out and found a secluded corner to stand in.

Gao Mingcheng looked around and found that there was no one around, then he took out a Rolex watch from the bag he was carrying.

He smiled and handed the watch to Huang Dazhi, saying, "Rolex, imported! Guess how much it costs?"

When Huang Dazhi saw the watch, his eyes widened. He had never seen such a novel and luxurious watch.

He also wore a half-worn Lushan brand watch on his wrist, which he bought from a colleague for only twenty yuan.

Now that he has become an auxiliary police officer, he cannot do without a watch, so Huang Dazhi bought the watch with great reluctance. But after having the watch, he found that it did make his life much more convenient.

"How much?" Huang Dazhi took the Rolex watch, his heart pounding. He had a feeling that this watch must be very expensive.

What about foreign goods... they must cost several hundred, right?

Huang Dazhi plucked up his courage and thought.

"More than 1,300! This watch is expensive and will be more valuable in the future. You should keep it well and enjoy it in private. Don't let anyone find out." Gao Mingcheng also took out the matching box and asked Huang Dazhi to pack it.

When Huang Dazhi heard that it would cost more than 1,300 yuan, he froze. He wanted to move his hands, but he didn't dare to, for fear that the watch in his hand would accidentally fall to the ground.

He quickly returned the watch to Gao Mingcheng and refused to take it.

Gao Mingcheng took out another Rolex watch and said with a smile: "That one is for you. This one is mine! It's also a Rolex!"

"When I was in Guangzhou, I sold the gold. Let me tell you about the transaction process and the price." Gao Mingcheng leaned close to Huang Dazhi's ear and whispered what had happened.

Then he added: "In recent years, the price of gold should be around this level. You can think about it and find an opportunity to sell some. It's best to sell it little by little, so as not to get too much money at once and be targeted by others."

Gao Mingcheng knew all this, but he still took action all at once because he knew he would not stay in Yangcheng for long, and as long as the person left, there would be no problem.

He would do this because he is confident and is not afraid even if someone is targeting him.

But Huang Dazhi's skills are inferior to his, so naturally he has to take a more safe approach.

Huang Dazhi really knew nothing about this and didn't even dare to ask about it, for fear that people would find out that he had stolen the gold.

After listening to Gao Mingcheng's experience, he, who was originally confused, suddenly had direction.

He returned the watch to Gao Mingcheng and said, "This watch is too valuable. I don't want it. You should take it back."

Gao Mingcheng was speechless and said, "You even gave me the more valuable gold, so what if I gave you a watch? Do you want me to return the gold to you?"

Huang Dazhi heard this and immediately waved his hand to explain: "No, I'm not asking you to pay it back."

Huang Dazhi never regretted giving away the gold.

Money is great, but some friends are more important!

If it weren't for Gao Mingcheng, he would still be working hard in the fields of Junling!

The people in my family are old and sick, and there is no hope in life at all.

And now, he sees hope.

"I just... I can't wear it anyway..." Huang Dazhi explained.

Gao Mingcheng laughed and said, "How can I wear it? This watch is expensive, and the villagers are ignorant and can't recognize it, but how can I bear to wear it to work? I have to keep it for now, and when the conditions are right, I will take it out and wear it!"

"Don't think 1,300 yuan is expensive. It will be even more expensive in the future. You may not be willing to buy it even if you have the money! Keep it for now. We will wear it openly one day!"

Gao Mingcheng's words made Huang Dazhi's blood boil. He said "hmm" heavily and looked forward to the future even more.

Having said this, Huang Dazhi didn't say anything more. He carefully put the watch into the box and hid it in the inner pocket of his clothes, determined to keep the thing well hidden.

"Okay, I still have things to do. Let's share what we have in the future. Don't forget each other when good things happen!" Gao Mingcheng smiled, said goodbye to Huang Dazhi, then left the police station and went to sell goods.

He first found the person introduced by Gao Guobing, took out samples of the goods, negotiated the price, then went back to the hotel, took the goods over, and then sold the goods and collected the money at the same time.

The profit margin of wholesale is lower, but that’s how money works, it’s impossible for you to make all the money by yourself.

Gao Mingcheng was in a good mood as he counted the money he had just earned. This trip to Guangzhou was worth it!

This is because he did not carry much cargo. If he had a truck and went to Guangzhou, he would make money like water.
