Song Yan took Cao Zhang to see the goods.
The chickens, rabbits, and ducks were all tied up and thrown into the yard.
What sells best these days? Meat! All kinds of meat sell well.
Cao Zhang was shocked once again as he looked at the goods he was examining. Had Chu Shaowei ever considered how much of a fortune he had given him in return for breaking his promise?
Seeing so many goods, Cao Zhang's surprise was understandable. Even Song Yan himself, who had personally taken out the goods, thought the quantity was large, let alone others.
Take the ducks for example. I bought them the day I left Qingshan Brigade, and now they've multiplied into a flock. There are over a hundred of them that are big enough to sell.
There are far more chickens and rabbits than ducks. There are 1,000 chickens and 1,000 rabbits. So the whole yard is full of them.
There were still more than 2,000 kilograms of apples in the house.
The last shipment didn't include ginseng. Boss Cao almost made 900 yuan.
The profit from this shipment will only be higher, not lower.
Now, everyone who can spare some money wants to buy things to freeze for the New Year. Otherwise, things will be even more expensive around the New Year; prices will only go up, not down. In such a large provincial capital, there's simply not enough stock to meet demand.
Chickens, rabbits, and ducks were all 80 cents a pound. Song Yan kept their weight at five pounds or a little over five pounds, which was considered very fat in those days.
Such a good, big apple is rarer than meat, and it's only 80 cents.
The items were counted and weighed, and the price was calculated to be 0.8 yuan.
Song Yan estimated that it was roughly this much money.
Adding to the fact that Cao Zhang hadn't earned that much last time, he paid 4,000 yuan upfront this time.
Watching Xiao Mu's retreating figure, Cao Zhang seemed lost in thought. Xiao Mu definitely wasn't her real name. Where did she get such a large quantity of goods?
Cao Zhang was curious, but he wouldn't pry into the details.
He had a feeling that if he went to investigate further, he would definitely be unable to do business in the future.
With these two shipments, plus the cabbages he gave to the machinery factory, Song Yan could earn around 20,000 yuan.
They've become millionaires!
This money is really great!
But Song Yan knew that this could only continue for a few years. Once electronic surveillance equipment was installed throughout the streets and alleys, it would be impossible for goods to magically appear out of thin air.
And it's only done occasionally in the provincial capital. If you did that in a county town, you'd probably be out of luck.
So take advantage of the convenience to make some money...
After finishing his important task, Song Yan went to visit a scrap metal recycling station.
These days, getting a house is already a blessing, let alone furniture. She looked around to see if there was anything useful to add to Song's parents' house.
Actually, we should look at the apartment first, then the used furniture. Song Yan held back, and only after hearing Wei Chunxi say that all the formalities were completed did Song Yan plan to go to the apartment.
J City has more than one scrap metal collection station, but the original owner had only been to one before.
Let's check out the ones we know first, then we can ask about others. The location of the scrap metal collection station is a bit out of the way; it's quite a walk after getting off the bus...
Wei Aiguo has had a tough time these past few days. Chu Shaowei goes on and on with his tantrums.
Wei Aiguo thought, even if his family's ancestral graves were dug up, it wouldn't be much different!
I don't know what he did that day to upset him like this.
For the first few days, he tried to win Wei Aiguo over, but these past few days he's lost his temper and keeps trying to threaten him. Wei Aiguo has an urge to twist his head off.
He endured it for the sake of finding the detonators.
Moreover, from that day on, Chu Shaowei kept a very close eye on Wei Aiguo. Basically, no matter what Wei Aiguo did, there was always someone around to make sure he wasn't alone.
Shaking them off is easy, but it's not. Once they're out of their sight, Chu Shaowei will know. And then how do you explain it?
Wei Aiguo never had another chance to go to his rented house, and he didn't know if the troops had come. So many days had passed. If the troops hadn't come, the two of them would starve to death.
Wei Aiguo told the army where he was renting a place, but he didn't mention that he was in the black market.
Wei Aiguo would often visit the black market in his spare time, hoping to find a chance to send messages out, but unfortunately, he never had the opportunity.
Chu Shaowei issued an order to leave yesterday. Wei Aiguo either had to do something and join them, or he had to leave. The deadline was tomorrow afternoon.
What Chu Shaowei meant by "doing something" was nothing more than cheating, swindling, and stealing—all illegal acts. Only by breaking the law could Wei Aiguo be like them, and only then could he stay here obediently.
I haven't seen Jiang Changping for the past few days. I don't know if it's because he's not around, allowing Chu Shaowei to do whatever he wants, or if he instructed me to do so before leaving.
Chu Shaowei wanted to force Wei Aiguo to leave behind a handle against him.
With Wei Aiguo's skills, wouldn't it be easy for him to steal something? But he just couldn't bring himself to do it.
Yesterday, he spent the whole day wandering around quiet alleys looking for a target. He had several opportunities, but Wei Aiguo couldn't bring himself to make a move. Even the people following him were getting anxious.
Wei Aiguo was quite good at bargaining; he could buy things at low prices and sell them quickly. He made money and wasn't stingy with those around him. The men who were constantly monitoring him had developed a brotherly relationship with Wei Aiguo and were helping him find targets.
I can't bring myself to do it to the elderly, the weak, the sick, or the disabled.
I'm too poor to bring myself to do it.
When they encountered a group that was neither old, weak, sick, or disabled nor poor, Wei Aiguo made his move.
Wei Aiguo still didn't act. The others were getting impatient; why weren't they making a move?
Look at this guy's attire, he's even carrying a briefcase. He might be an official. If you rob him, won't the police take it very seriously? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
When Wei Aiguo said that, the others agreed. They were all worried for Wei Aiguo.
Wei Aiguo acted quite nonchalantly, saying, "If Boss Chu won't take me in, I'll just find another place."
Those men fell silent upon hearing this. They were Boss Chu's men, so they shouldn't have said anything.
