When Brother Ironhead came, he always felt that someone was watching him from not far away.
However, he wasn't sure where the other person was.
After looking around, I finally found Old Zhang's location.
This person...
It looks familiar, very familiar.
Although he didn't like the way Lao Zhang looked at him, Tie Tou Ge didn't have time to meet his gaze. As long as Lao Zhang didn't come at him, he could postpone everything.
His most important task right now is to discuss cooperation with Xia Anyan.
Oh, right, isn't this guy Xia Anyan's godfather?
So, it turns out she was worried about him.
With that, Brother Tietou felt relieved. He smiled at Old Zhang from afar, made a hand gesture, and then entered the state-run restaurant.
Those who live in the underworld understand; Old Zhang got it right—it meant he could rest assured.
Inside the state-run restaurant, Xia Anyan saw Tie Tou Ge standing at the entrance and witnessed him greeting her.
I have a rough idea; it might be related to Lao Zhang.
She smiled and stood up: "Brother Tie Tou, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
As soon as Iron Head Bro entered, he was confronted by Xia Anyan.
This girl is very pretty, and her smile makes her even more adorable and eye-catching.
Honestly, he'd met so many lesbians, but this was the first time he'd ever met someone like Xia Anyan.
Her smile was so bright and generous that it was impossible not to take your eyes off her.
"Xia, you've been here for a while? I'm late, so I apologize first." Iron Head Brother scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
Xia Anyan shook her head: "No, I just arrived a little while ago."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two got down to business.
Xia Anyan took out several items wrapped in newspaper from her backpack.
They placed them one by one on the table and then pushed them in front of Brother Iron Head.
Ironhead knew what was inside, so he didn't dare to make a big fuss.
He first opened it a crack, and then opened it wider.
But after just one glance, he was so frightened that he closed the newspaper again.
As if he couldn't believe it, he opened it again, closed it again, and opened it again... repeating this several times.
Xia Anyan was both amused and exasperated by his actions.
However, she wasn't in a hurry to urge him and let Brother Tietou see for himself.
Brother Ironhead took a deep breath and finally made up his mind.
He opened each one to look at it, and when he finally looked at Xia Anyan, his breathing became heavy.
"Xia Meizi, are all of these... are they all of the same quality?" Ironhead almost bit his tongue.
But in order not to be noticed by outsiders, he still tried to remain calm and lowered his voice.
Xia Anyan smiled and nodded: "I can assure you that every batch from now on will be of the same quality as what you see in your hands. In fact, it will only be better, not worse."
"Now, Brother Ironhead, can you give me a more realistic quote? Your previous quote was a bit low, which puts me in a difficult position."
Ironhead looked at the clumps of things in front of him and was caught in a dilemma.
Actually, if they bring back items of this quality and mix them with lower-quality items, they can sell them for a higher price.
He also wanted to make money, so he gave Xia Anyan a high price, which meant he earned less.
Xia Anyan noticed his hesitation and didn't urge him.
Her hand tapped lightly on the table, and it also struck Ironhead's heart.
About two minutes later, Xia Anyan dropped another bombshell: "Brother Tietou, every time I provide you, it's no less than 500 jin. And every single item, no less than 500 jin."
"Small profits but quick turnover, and I've made quite a bit of money. I've brought in so much stuff, I should at least make some profit, don't you think?"
Xia Anyan is very skilled in negotiation.
She knew best when to cast the bait and when to fish.
Even if Brother Iron Head is the boss of this area, so what? If he can't find resources, he still won't make any money.
The conditions Xia Anyan offered this time were very attractive.
Five hundred jin is not a small amount, but compared to those individual sellers, it's clear that Xia Anyan's goods are more attractive to him.
"Okay!" Ironhead Brother made the decision without hesitation. "You're a generous girl, and I can't let you suffer a loss."
"Wheat, 28 cents a pound; corn, 16 cents a pound; rice, 30 cents a pound; flour, 33 cents a pound; potatoes are the market price, plus an extra 10 cents, and sweet potatoes are the same."
"Hey girl, what do you think of this price? Are you satisfied?"
Xia Anyan considered the options in her mind and finally gave a price: "Wheat is 30 cents, corn is 18 cents, rice is 35 cents, flour is 38 cents, and the rest will be as you say."
Before Brother Tietou could refuse, she added, "Brother Tietou, take these things back with you and mix them with the lowest-grade goods. You can sell them as medium-quality, or even high-quality, grain. I don't need to tell you how much you can sell them for, right?"
“If we cooperate well, maybe one day I can increase the weight each time, maybe even give a thousand kilograms, it’s not impossible.”
Which black market dealer doesn't want to expand and strengthen their business?
Beijing is a large city, and there are many black markets there as well.
Iron Head Bro is just the boss of this small place; the other black market bosses are different people.
If he could have Xia Anyan as his backer, providing a continuous supply of food, wouldn't it be just a matter of time before he could take over the other black markets?
Ironhead isn't stupid; he'll figure this out.
After Xia Anyan finished speaking, she stopped urging him.
Although her price is high, it still allows Brother Tietou and his gang to make money.
She is not afraid of being rejected.
After thinking for five minutes, Ironhead finally made up his mind: "Okay."
"Girl, you're a savvy businesswoman. I've never offered this price to anyone else before."
"Remember this: once you leave this door today, you are not allowed to mention this price to anyone else. And I also need your agreement that from now on, your goods can only be given to me."
He wants a monopoly.
Xia Anyan was very easy to talk to: "Okay."
He can monopolize the goods in Beijing if he wants, but he can't get involved in Heilongjiang Province.
If all else fails, she can simply change her appearance and try her luck in the black market there.
The two wrote two contracts by hand, signed and sealed them, and only then was the matter truly settled.
"This meal is on me, girl, you can't take it from me." Ironhead Brother pulled a wad of bills from his pocket and slammed them on the table.
Xia Anyan was amused.
So wealthy and powerful?
She just doesn't want to show off. If she really wanted to, she'd scare him to death!
"Okay, then I'll thank you, Brother Iron Head."
Xia Anyan winked playfully.
The two had a meal together, and in his excitement, Tie Tou Ge even opened a bottle of wine for himself.
When he left, Xia Anyan was worried that he would fall. But to her surprise, after he finished drinking, he acted as if nothing had happened, only his face turned slightly red.
