However, what he sells is not Moutai, but Huadiao liquor.
Hu Lin saw that he was wearing cloth clothes and looked like a lower-class person, but he was wearing a Shanghai brand watch on his wrist.
So I asked, "Do you have Moutai?"
The man in cloth's eyes flashed, "I only sell Huadiao."
He was afraid that Hu Lin and his men were here to inspect the goods.
"I only buy Maotai. I went to all the state-owned stores but couldn't find any. I needed it urgently, so I came here to try my luck."
Hu Lin's words dispelled the doubts of the man in plain clothes, "That wine is not cheap."
"How much are you selling it for?" Hu Lin looked like he had no shortage of money.
"Fifteen a bottle." The man in plain clothes quoted a false price.
On the black market, Moutai costs only ten yuan a bottle at most.
The main reason is that it is too expensive and not many ordinary people can afford it.
Rich people rarely hang out in the black market, so Moutai is not that popular in the black market.
"Do you think I don't know the market and you want to rip me off?" Hu Lin looked at the man coldly.
The man in plain clothes saw that Hu Lin had become difficult to deal with, and there was a tall and strong young man following him... If they started fighting, there would be no way that he, a fragile man, could win.
The cloth-clothed man laughed awkwardly, "Well, doing business on the black market is all about bargaining!"
He justified himself for a moment, then continued, "Since you two are knowledgeable, I won't keep you in suspense. It's ten yuan a bottle."
"Deal." Hu Lin said calmly, "How much wine do you have?"
"Just two bottles, no more if you want."
"I've bought them all." Hu Lin took out two big unity notes from his pocket and gave them to the man in plain clothes, "Take us to get the goods."
The cloth-clothed man took the money with a smile, "Great! Follow me."
The two followed the cloth-clothed man to get the wine.
I followed him for a long distance before I arrived at a building.
It looks like a collective dormitory of a certain unit.
"Will you come with me to get the wine, or wait for me to bring it down?" asked the man in plain clothes.
Hu Lin glanced at Yang Qing, who understood and stepped forward and said, "I'll go with you."
The man in plain clothes nodded and took Yang Qing upstairs.
Hu Lin was waiting below.
She had already given the money to someone, so how could she let him get the wine by himself? What if he got cheated?
After a few minutes, Yang Qing came down with the wine.
Hu Lin picked up a bottle of wine and looked at it.
Wrapped in a layer of thin paper, 540ml, large Feitian.
The same one she bought before.
Return Hu Lin to Yang Qing and leave.
There is almost no fake liquor nowadays, so she has to try her luck in places like the black market.
After buying some wine, they didn't go anywhere else and went back to the hotel to rest.
When it was time for dinner, the two of them went out to have dinner at a nearby state-owned restaurant.
In the next two days, Hu Lin took Yang Qing to various shopping malls and bought some rare gifts.
Some were given to Hu Zhaoguang, and some were given to his family.
On the third day, several people gathered at Dexing Hall.
Hu Lin and Yang Qing arrived a while earlier with the gifts. At seven o'clock, Hu Zhaoguang arrived at Dexing Hall on time.
When everyone was present, Hu Lin asked the waiter to serve the food.
De Xing Guan’s time-honored signature dishes, grass-head circles, sea cucumber with shrimp and roe, black carp lung, fried shrimp, and braised snapper were all on offer.
Add some trendy vegetables.
There is also a new dish, yellow steak.
After the dishes were served, Hu Lin and Hu Zhaoguang exchanged a few polite words, and then the three of them started to eat.
Just eat, don't talk about business, and don't drink.
Hu Zhaoguang also knew that Hu Lin didn't drink, and every time they had a meal, they never talked about business.
When he came today, he thought Hu Lin would talk to them about the shop at the dinner table.
Socializing with a purpose at work often makes him miss the times he had dinner with Hu Lin.
He still felt a little regretful that the two of them could no longer be just dining friends.
Unexpectedly, Hu Lin had the same idea as him.
After the meal, Hu Lin and Yang Qing took out the gifts they had prepared, which surprised Hu Zhaoguang.
Without giving Hu Zhaoguang a chance to refuse, the two men put the gifts on the back seat of his car one after another.
Hu Zhaoguang felt embarrassed and said, "Come to my house for dinner some other day."
"Okay." Hu Lin agreed and watched Hu Zhaoguang drive away.
Next, Hu Lin and Yang Qing started asking about the decoration master.
She had high requirements and none of the people she hired were satisfied.
Their progress was stagnant, but good news came from Hu Zhaoguang.
The storefront of Friendship Store can be confirmed.
Hu Zhaoguang invited them to his home for dinner, and the two bought some chocolates with liquor filling as souvenirs.
After dinner, Hu Zhaoguang said he would introduce them to the manager of the Friendship Store some other day.
Since there were foreigners coming, we booked the Peace Hotel.
Art deco style, with jazz accompaniment, which is popular among foreigners.
She couldn't book a table at the Peace Hotel, so she asked Hu Zhaoguang to organize a group and say that it was used to receive foreign guests, and then she could reserve a table.
Foreigners pair it with red wine.
This is also a difficult thing to do, and the quality cannot be too low.
Hu Lin could only tell Hu Zhaoguang about his predicament and see if he had any way to solve it.
Fortunately, he said that the Peace Hotel sold red wine, so she felt relieved.
As for foreign exchange coupons, Hu Zhaoguang knew that she definitely did not have that many of them, so he exchanged all the foreign exchange coupons stored at home for her.
In preparation for this dinner, Hu Lin took Yang Qing to the mall to buy clothes.
Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse, so as to avoid being looked down upon by others.
A week later, several people gathered again at the Peace Hotel.
Among them were two foreigners.
