Chapter 55: Qualified businessman, with a backup plan
"Of course you can stay as long as you want. Don't worry, I will stay until you get tired of it." Bai Jingtang was very happy. He was truly accepted by others.
However, he also intended to let his goods enter the mainland market, but he could not find anyone he truly trusted.
Do you really think that people who are doing well in Xiangcheng will come back to serve the country?
No, he was plotted against and not only did he lose money, he almost lost his life. That's why he listened to his parents and returned to Shenzhen.
He was bullied by his elder brother.
Now that there is a new market, he naturally has to pick up his old business.
Let them keep an eye on Shenzhen, as long as he doesn't grow bigger and stronger there.
"No, no."
After a few jokes, they got down to business.
"How much does this thing cost if I want to buy it?" The radio is a good thing, a big item. Although there are televisions on the market, not only are they produced in small quantities, but you can't buy them just because you want to. You need a ticket.
How much does a ticket cost?
Not to mention the TV itself.
This thing is OK, if it is not too expensive, you can do it.
"I wouldn't tell the truth if someone else asked me, but I won't hide it from you guys. This is the price for one unit." He gestured with his hands and then gave a number: "The purchase price is thirty-five per unit."
When they heard the price, everyone was shocked.
You know, nowadays, although we don’t know whether a radio is made of semiconductors or not, the cheapest one sold at the supply and marketing cooperative costs at least one hundred and forty or fifty yuan.
It’s almost as expensive as a bicycle, yet there’s still no demand for it.
The price is thirty-five. Su Zhongguo frowned and said, "Brother, tell me the truth. Is this thing easy to break?"
Only in this way can the price be so cheap.
"What are you thinking? I'm not going to cheat you. This is all I have. To be honest, I made five dollars from you for each one. If you buy it from Xiangcheng without going through the proper procedures, twenty-five is enough. After all, we have to go through the proper procedures to sell goods here."
He said with a helpless look on his face, "Look, I got this price after doing some favors. Don't worry, I didn't cheat you. This thing is of good quality."
Afraid that he wouldn't believe it, Bai Jingtang immediately started to dismantle it.
Li Baoguo hurriedly stopped him, "Don't get excited, don't get excited. It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that it's too hard to believe. Do you know how much a radio like this costs here?"
How could Bai Lao San not know? He nodded and said, "I know a little bit. In China, there are hundreds of them."
Hearing what he said, Su Zhongguo and Li Baoguo laughed bitterly. It seems that it is not that the things are too expensive, but that...
"Can this thing still be obtained?" Thirty-five dollars a piece, not expensive, they can sell it.
Su Zhongguo was also very concerned. "If there are more, get a few dozen first. If the market opens up, I'll know about the follow-up."
This is exactly the effect Bai Laosan wanted. "Haha, this is the gift I brought you. Don't worry, it will be delivered in a few days. I brought eighty of them." He gestured with a number, his face full of complacency.
No wonder he said he wanted to stay here for a long time, it turns out it was for this.
This man is truly a qualified businessman.
"Third brother is far-sighted, but can this business be successful?" He pointed to the people guarding outside.
Li Baoguo's worries were correct. The people outside were all his father and elder brother's people, so he naturally didn't dare let them know about the business he was doing.
They knew about watches, but they only knew that he was selling goods for others and was just a middleman.
So no one takes it seriously.
In addition, he, his wife and children usually keep a low profile, so they didn't suspect anything.
"Don't worry, I will arrange for them to go back when they come back. However, brother, I may let you suffer some loss." Bai Jingtang looked at the two of them a little embarrassedly.
The two looked at each other, although they were puzzled, they did not directly refuse.
"We are all brothers, so just speak your mind."
"It's like this. I need you to find an excuse and help me send them back, and I'll stay here."
"What's the excuse?"
"Hey, brother, can you bring some more goods?" Bai Jingtang pointed at the summer clothes. "We still have some left in the factory warehouse. I didn't pack it all up."
After hearing this, the two of them had nothing else to understand. They had even thought of a way out. This guy was really amazing.
"No big deal. I just felt that we were short of some summer clothes. You didn't know that." Then Su Zhongguo told him about the villagers' ordering.
Before the goods arrived, he received nearly ten thousand yuan in payment, which shocked Bai Jingtang.
Is domestic business so good now?
Is he a little moved?
Do you want to grab the ready-made clothes?
Forget it, forget it, that thing is not a good thing, don’t make your parents sad.
"Brother, you did a good thing this time. Okay, since you trust me so much, I won't let you suffer any loss. When I have something good in my hands, I will think of you first."
Upon hearing this, Su Zhongguo and Li Baoguo both laughed. Although they were rich, it was still not easy to get some scarce goods, not to mention that Bai Laosan helped them provide legal procedures.
They are not afraid even if someone reports them out of jealousy.
After the discussion, the three of them left the house satisfied.
Not long after, the group of people who went out to transfer money came back.
Chen Yang held a remittance slip in his hand.
Seeing him walking towards him with a smile, Su Zhongguo knew that this trip would be smooth.
He has been roaming around the black market for many years, and this is probably the first time he has obtained this legal procedure.
Thinking about his relationship, Su Zhongguo suddenly felt a little sad.
"Brother Zhongguo, this is the remittance slip. Here it is." Chen Yang smiled and handed the receipt to Su Zhongguo.
Su Zhongguo naturally didn't bother to be polite with him. After taking it and looking at it, he asked Li Baoguo to put it away. This was the evidence they kept to avoid any arguments in the future.
After everyone sat down, Li Baoguo and others revealed another surprise, which made everyone who came with Bai Laosan extremely happy.
"Another order?" Ren Ruo asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I'll have to trouble you to go back and help us prepare it. As for the money, I'll transfer it to you as before, but we want payment upon delivery."
Su Zhongguo explained it in detail to accountant Ren Ruo.
Seeing him silent, Su Zhongguo continued, "Of course, I'm familiar with Manager Bai, and I plan to keep him for a few more days, so you don't have to worry about us not paying you when the goods arrive."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Bai Jingtang.
Among them, Ren Ruo and others looked worried.
They are unfamiliar with the place, and if they all leave, leaving Bai Jingtang alone, how can they feel at ease?
Bai Jingtang knew it was his turn to speak.
"Don't worry, Uncle Ren. Zhongguo and I are close brothers. I will go back as soon as the batch of goods arrives. If you are worried, I can call the factory every day, okay?" Bai Jingtang felt very happy to know that they were worried about him.
Who doesn't want to be cared for and loved by others?
Even though he is in his thirties, he still hopes for care from others.
"That's fine." Seeing so many people around, Ren Ruo didn't know what to say anymore. He planned to talk to Bai Jingtang privately and tell him that one should always be on guard against others.
Because they were going back, Su Zhongguo and others treated everyone to a good meal that day.
They were so engrossed in the meal that they started to covet the mountain products.
Su Zhongguo had no objection to this. These things were cheap and could be found in the supply and marketing cooperatives. If he couldn't find them there, he could buy them at the food product purchasing station.
Anyway, Bai Jingtang and others had the acquisition note of Shenzhen Yongxin Garment Factory in their hands.
Everyone carries a few of these when they go out, just in case.
Domestic supplies are still in short supply now, and if you come across something good, who wouldn’t want to take some home?
The ticket I bought was for nine o'clock the next morning, and I took the passenger train back, which would be faster.
Of course there are no sleeper berths, but seat tickets can still be purchased.
In this way, Su Zhongguo and others sent the five people from Shenzhen City onto the train.
Only Bai Jingtang was left here.
Bai Jingtang is also a carefree person. He doesn't think he will be in any danger. Instead, he is happy to follow Su Zhongguo around.
Chen Yang took away half of the goods, and Su Zhongguo went to inform Liu Dongxi and Li Baoguo, the people who were taking the goods, for the rest.
After Lin Qiujuan and her brother took some, and Li Baoguo's brothers from their mother's side took some, Su Zhongguo kept the goods that the villagers wanted for himself and asked Li Baojun to inform Hei Ye when he had time.
This gentleman came quite quickly.
As soon as he arrived, he complained to Su Zhongguo, "I heard a long time ago that we brought back two trucks of good stuff. I was afraid you were busy, so I didn't dare to come to your door to put them up. Fortunately, you guys remembered me."
After hearing this, Su Zhongguo felt a little guilty.
However, what businessmen care least about is face. If you take face seriously, then you should stop doing business and just go home and be a daughter.
"What Mr. Hei said is true. The goods have only been here for two days, so we have to sort them out." As he said that, Su Zhongguo took Mr. Hei into the main room.
The place was filled with sample clothes, with summer, autumn and winter clothes all displayed before everyone.
"Hei Ye, take a look and if you like any of them, tell me the number and I'll stock them for you." Su Zhongguo was also generous. He pointed at the items and asked Hei Ye to tell him the number.
It seemed like he had no objection to taking them all.
Hei Ye naturally didn't bother to be polite with him.
However, when he saw those cotton coats and trousers, his eyes became a little dizzy.
These days, who doesn’t want to get some winter clothes to take home? After all, winter is really hard here.
Anyone who owns a little land will prepare winter clothes for fear of catching a cold.
"You can get winter clothes in this weather. It seems that Brother Su is very capable." Hei Ye touched the clothes and found that the quality was impeccable. They were all made of the best materials.
"How much of these can I take away?" Selling these in the winter will also bring in a considerable income.
Su Zhongguo could more or less understand Hei Ye's thoughts, but he still opened his mouth to explain.
"These winter clothes are from last year. If Mr. Hei has any ideas for winter clothes, I'll get another batch later. As for the current ones, sell them if you can. Money is more important than goods."
Hearing this, Hei Ye was also stunned, "Brother, can you get such good stuff?" This material, this cotton, requires a lot of connections.
"Of course, Mr. Hei, go ahead and sell it. If you run out, come back and buy more. I may not have any other skills, but I can still get some new and unique goods."
Su Zhongguo did not avoid Bai Jingtang. When Hei Ye came in, Bai Jingtang wanted to leave, but was stopped by Su Zhongguo.
It can be considered as a way for him to show his strength.
"Haha, good, good, good." Hei Ye immediately asked his men to check it.
They were drinking tea when their subordinates came to report after a while.
After hearing this, Hei Ye was happy, "Brother, can I take two-thirds of these goods?" The ready-made clothes were all high-quality and cheap, so naturally the more he took, the better.
How could Su Zhongguo disagree? He didn't say that this is two-thirds of half.
"Sure, Hei Ye is a straightforward person, and it saves us the trouble of setting up a stall outside. However, there is one thing I would like to trouble Hei Ye with."
Su Zhongguo thought of one thing, it would be great if the person in front of him could help.
"You said, if I can do it, I will definitely not delay it." Hei Ye was straightforward.
"I just want to ask if Heiye has any shops facing the street. I want one to display my samples." Su Zhongguo asked Li Baojun to inquire.
It is now possible to open a shop privately, but you cannot have too many helpers, and they can only be your own family members. Hiring others is not possible for the time being.
So, he had this idea. Firstly, he didn't want to be separated from his wife, and he couldn't bear to leave his wife and daughter.
Secondly, he heard from Guixiang that Su Zhongfu's daughter was born, so in order to be away from him, it would be better to bring his wife and children to the county town.
All the sufferings in his family came from that little kid, but he couldn't afford to gamble.
Hei Ye pondered for a while and said, "There are shops, but, as you know, it's not popular to open a shop in this era." Now everything is state-owned, and those public-private partnerships are just names.
He also hadn't heard from his superiors about any new policies.
Out of kindness, he still reminded it.
"I know, Heiye, you're a straightforward person. Brother, I won't hide it from you. I've heard that the higher-ups are planning to open up the market."
That’s all I can say. Any more would be inappropriate.
Hei Ye is shrewd and has his own connections. "Thanks, brother."
Smart people are good, no need to say more, one sentence is enough.
"Well, I have two empty shops opposite the West Street Supply and Marketing Cooperative. If you are interested, I'll give them to you." As he said this, Hei Ye pointed with two fingers.
"Two thousand?" This number was expensive, but Brother Su knew that Hei Ye was not the kind of person who would ask for exorbitant prices. "It's a bit high for ordinary shops. I wonder what the story is about these two shops?"
Upon hearing this, Hei Ye laughed, and laughed very happily.
Before he could speak, the clerk who followed Hei Ye closely spoke up, "You have good taste. Behind those two shops is a courtyard with six rooms. Do you think two thousand is too much?"
After saying this, Su Zhongguo stood up and bowed to Hei Ye, "Thank you for your generosity, Hei Ye."
Hei Ye also stood up and said, "You're welcome. Remember me when you get good things in the future. This way I won't be at a loss." He helped the man up.
"We can't let that kid Chen Yang pick first."
Then he added briskly.
What else did Su Zhongguo not understand? He was being watched by Hei Ye's men.
He did not feel guilty and explained to Hei Ye the relationship between himself and Chen Yang.
After listening to this, Hei Ye also understood that he could never surpass that kid Chen Yang.
However, that kid is quite courageous. He can make a name for himself by taking a lazy guy and doing something great.
"That's fine. Just think of me more often when you have good things to do in the future."
"Of course, of course."
