Chapter 204: What rules?
Zhong Xuexi took a long time to come down from upstairs. When Li Guixiang learned that she was going to Zhao's house for dinner, she asked her to carry the bags to the house.
The marriage between the two is a foregone conclusion. Zhao Huaian has given a lot of things to the Zhong family, and they can't always take advantage of them.
Li Guixiang still has her own principles on this point.
Zhong Heyang went back to the army early in the morning to deal with some things, so he was not at home.
In the afternoon, Lin Ziqiu was waiting for news from Tian Xiaofeng at home. Ruan Qing accompanied her to read comic books. "You know what, I didn't read this kind of book when I was a child. I thought it was for elementary school students. I didn't expect it to be quite interesting."
Lin Ziqiu had something on his mind and ignored her.
Now Zhong Zhiyang is like a time bomb, but if we go directly to the black market to catch him, it will definitely attract a lot of attention. It will not be good for the Zhong family if we make too much of a fuss.
"What's wrong with you? You seemed absent-minded during lunch."
Ruan Qing also noticed it, "You didn't ask Tian Xiaofeng to do something bad, did you?"
Lin Ziqiu said without thinking: "I asked him to follow Zhong Zhiyang, and found out that Zhong Zhiyang went to the black market."
"Oh my god! Is he so brave? No wonder he looks down on the job you found for him. It turns out he just wants to make a lot of money!" Ruan Qing couldn't help but exclaimed. Neither she nor the original owner had basically known about places like the black market.
"Then why are you still sitting here? Why don't you go and catch him back!?"
Lin Ziqiu shook his head. "If he is determined to make money from the black market, we can catch him once, but he will secretly do it a second time. But we can't find someone to watch him all day long. It's unrealistic."
"If he doesn't wake up, it's no use catching him back."
Ruan Qing nodded. "What you said is indeed a difficult problem. So what are you going to do?"
"I'm waiting for news from Xiaofeng."
Lin Ziqiu stood up and walked to the balcony outside with some uneasiness in his heart, his eyes tinged with anxiety, "I hope Xiaofeng can bring back some useful information."
Zhong Zhiyang took out all the savings his grandmother had given him from his pocket and said, "This is all I have. How much can I buy with it?"
Wang Maer's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, a gleam of greed flashed across his eyes, "This money you have is barely enough to get started, you can try to sell some goods first."
Zhong Zhiyang showed a delighted look on his face and quickly handed him the money. "Brother Ma, please help me pick out some easy-to-sell items. I'll treat you to a meal when I make money!"
Wang Maer couldn't wait to stuff the money into his pocket, with a meaningful smile on his face, "Okay, okay, given our relationship, I will definitely help you make a lot of money together. Wait, I'll go move the goods for you right away."
"I'll go with you!" Zhong Zhiyang offered.
"No, no, there are other people's goods inside, I can go by myself."
As he said that, Wang Maer took out the key to open the door to the inner room and said, "Wait for me outside. I'll come out when I get it."
Zhong Zhiyang didn't think much about it. After all, he had just entered the industry. For something as cautious as getting the goods, it would be difficult for him to force himself to follow in. Anyway, it would be right to listen to Wang Maer in everything.
In the inner room, there were two other men besides Wang Maer.
"This kid is such an idiot, just like he was when we were kids." Wang Maer took out the money he had just taken from Zhong Zhiyang from his pocket, kept a few bills for himself, and gave the rest to the person opposite.
"The Zhong family has plenty of money, this little money is nothing."
The person who spoke was a bearded man in his fifties, with a cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth. He showed a row of yellow teeth when he spoke, "Go get him some junk."
Wang Maer gave a wicked smile and said, "That's what I thought."
Zhong Zhiyang waited outside for a while. When he saw Wang Maer coming out with a pile of cloth, he hurried forward to help, "I'll do it, I'll do it!"
Wang Maer gave him all the goods and said, "Here are goods worth thirty yuan. The rest of the money is for deposit. When you buy goods worth five hundred yuan from us, we will return it to you in one lump sum."
Zhong Zhiyang was stunned. "There's also a deposit? Brother Ma, you didn't tell me before!"
"This is our rule for purchasing goods. I thought you knew it. It's okay. I won't let you suffer any loss with me here." Wang Maer patted his chest and put on a very trustworthy look.
Zhong Zhiyang lowered his eyes and hesitated to discuss: "I feel that five hundred yuan of goods is a bit too much, can you order less?"
Wang Maer frowned and said with some complaint: "We originally require goods worth 800 yuan before we can refund the deposit. You only need 500 yuan, which is already a great honor for you."
Zhong Zhiyang was still a little worried, "But this is really all my savings..."
Wang Maer said, "Don't worry. We make money quickly in this business. Besides, if you sell the goods I give you, there will definitely be people who want them. Once you sell them, won't your capital come back?"
Zhong Zhiyang gritted his teeth and said, "Second Brother Ma, I believe you!"
Wang Maer had a smile on his face and said, "Okay, move it away quickly and sell it!" The black market still has a good flow of customers, especially now that the rain has stopped, many people who have been trapped at home and cannot go out want to come out for some fresh air.
All kinds of goods at the supply and marketing cooperative are in short supply every day.
Even for spare ribs and pork, some people had to get up at four or five in the morning to line up. During these days of being trapped at home, many people had to live on rice porridge and had no chance of eating meat.
Under such circumstances, the black market business becomes prosperous.
Zhong Zhiyang wrapped himself tightly, wearing a scarf and a hat, for fear that others would recognize him. After all, he had never done business before. He stood in the cold for two or three hours, but no one came to buy anything, and no one even asked about the price.
Just when he was about to be unable to bear it, three or two middle-aged strong men came with their arms around each other's shoulders. They didn't look like guests, but rather like people looking for trouble.
"Boy, are you new here?"
The other party was coming at him aggressively and didn't seem like a good person. Zhong Zhiyang swallowed nervously, secretly grabbed the bamboo basket, and thought about running away.
But they had already blocked his way, and the leader was the bearded man who had met Wang Maer when he was picking up the goods. "I'm asking you a question, are you mute?"
The younger brother beside him couldn't help but sneer: "A mute is still selling things, no wonder no one buys."
"I'm not dumb!" Zhong Zhiyang took several steps back, his heart beating faster and faster. "What do you want to do?"
The bearded man took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Someone immediately lit it for him. He took a slow puff and exhaled a little white smoke. "You newcomers don't know the rules. I'm going to teach you the rules here today."
"What rules?" Zhong Zhiyang thought they thought his goods were from unknown sources, so he quickly explained, "I got all these goods from Brother Ma Er, I didn't steal or rob!"
