Lu Zhixia thought this batch of goods would take a few more days to sell, but it turned out to be easier to sell than she expected; someone took a liking to it as soon as it arrived.
After receiving this truckload of goods and deducting their share, I can earn at least five or six hundred yuan. The profit is a little low, but it's quick money!
"Let's go out for a meal after the transaction is over."
Brother Biao laughed, "That's what I was thinking too. Did you have a smooth journey? Nothing happened, right?"
Lu Zhixia: "There was a small accident, but it's been resolved."
Zhou Cheng asked with concern, "What happened?"
Lu Zhixia originally didn't want to talk about those things in front of them, but since they asked, she had no choice but to tell them what happened at the hotel.
They panicked when they heard that.
Brother Biao: "You two are too reckless. Don't meddle in other people's business when you're out and about in the future."
Zhou An'an: "No, I have to take care of it. Don't forget what I do."
Brother Biao looked at Zhou An'an and said sternly, "You're still too young, little girl. Don't think that just because you're a law enforcement officer, you can't suppress the local bullies. If they really want to kill you, they can just take you away and bury you in a hole. Your family won't be able to find you then, and maybe decades later, when your bones are dug up, they won't even know who you are."
Zhou An'an hadn't really thought that much about it. After listening to Brother Biao's words, he realized that he had been too naive.
Lu Zhixia said, "Alright, stop scaring An'an."
Brother Biao, "I'm not kidding you, but it's not as safe outside as you think. In today's society, people will do anything for money. If I'm not mistaken, they want to sell that woman for money."
Zhou An'an: "I firmly believe that our society will definitely get better and better."
Brother Biao nodded in agreement, "I believe that day will come, but you must remember that you only have one life, and you can only live once."
Lu Zhixia: "I understand. We won't be so abrupt next time."
Brother Biao knew to keep his words to a minimum, and he didn't want to scare them, but what happened was just too dangerous. If he had encountered it, he might not have dared to get involved.
What if the other party has a gun?
He has to be responsible for his brothers, instead of being competitive in everything; that's how he can live a long life together.
Soon the fruit buyer arrived; he was a refined-looking high school sophomore.
Through the introduction, Lu Zhixia learned that this person's surname was Shi.
They counted the thick wad of money and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it.
Lu Zhixia then said to Comrade Shi, "Alright, you can call someone over to handle the goods now."
Mr. Shi, "I'd like to know, who among you got this batch of goods?"
Lu Zhixia said, "I negotiated with someone. These fruits are delicious, mainly because the water source in that village is particularly good. There might be watermelons next year too."
Mr. Shi was delighted to hear this. “Then we can cooperate long-term. To be honest, most of the fruit wholesale in this city goes through me. I just happened to see this truck parked here.” Then he pointed to Brother Biao and said, “I had a very pleasant conversation with this guy. We hit it off quite well, and then I felt the price was right, so I bought it.”
Lu Zhixia, "You're saying that all the fruit in this city goes through you as a wholesaler?"
Mr. Shi nodded, "That's right, that's how it is right now, because I can handle the paperwork, you understand?"
Lu Zhixia understood the implication behind his words. "Then how can I contact you if I want to wholesale fruit next year?"
Mr. Shi took a postcard out of his bag. "There's a contact number on this. Just call me when the time comes. Making a phone call isn't as troublesome as it used to be."
Lu Zhixia accepted the postcard. "No, if I still have fruit to sell, I'll definitely contact you."
Mr. Shi felt that the woman spoke with great confidence and seemed like someone who could accomplish great things. “Actually, you can talk to me about any business. I have some connections here.”
Lu Zhixia knew she needed to give face to people in this situation, so she said,
"Sure! Let's be friends and maybe work together again sometime!"
“Okay, I look forward to working with you again next time,” Mr. Shi said.
Brother Biao offered him a cigarette, and seeing that the other man accepted it, he quickly lit it for him with a lighter.
"Brother, since you know so much, tell me what kind of jobs you can make money around here. It doesn't seem right for us to come here with our truck and then go back empty, does it?"
Mr. Shi took a deep drag on his cigarette. “You can take some eggs back with you. We have large farms here, and the eggs will definitely be cheaper than where you are. The weather is getting cooler now, so they won’t spoil too easily.”
Brother Biao thought this business was good, and looked at Lu Zhixia, glancing at her with his eyes.
Lu Zhixia understood immediately, "I wonder how many eggs you can provide?"
Mr. Shi laughed, “Let me put it this way! Giving you such a large truckload is possible, but in terms of price, the more you buy, the cheaper it will be. Also, this is our first time cooperating, so we value mutual trust.”
Lu Zhixia thought that driving back empty would also incur fuel costs. If they could bring back a truckload of eggs, sell some to Director Yu, and then find a way to sell the rest, they could earn a few hundred yuan in the process.
For these few people, it was pure profit.
"I wonder if Mr. Shi has time to eat? We can talk while we eat."
Mr. Shi thought to himself that he liked dealing with trustees like this, who were efficient and didn't dawdle, so he readily agreed.
"Sure, I can have a meal with you."
Brother Biao: "That's great, we brothers can have a drink together."
Mr. Shi thought to himself that the reason he was willing to cooperate with them was because he could tell that there were quite a few of them. If they were just two people working alone, he wouldn't have eaten all of this fruit at once, but would have asked someone to come and talk to them about eating it little by little.
