Lin Xiaoxiao stayed with Su Li at the hospital for more than an hour before finding an excuse to leave. She then found a secluded place and changed her clothes.
After wandering around for about ten minutes, we found the location of the black market in an alley.
The black market was well-located; the alleys here are a mix of old and new, winding and complex, and it would take a lot of time to find your way out unless you lived here for a long time.
Lin Xiaoxiao first used her spatial ability to enter the black market, then looked for her own stall. After confirming it, she wandered around the area for a while before deciding to go in.
"Is it for sale or for buying?" The person waiting at the door glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao, and after hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's answer, indicated that he wanted to take a look at what was for sale.
Lin Xiaoxiao, carrying the basket, walked closer and said in a very soft voice, "What I have here are just samples. I have more food here. Can you eat it all?"
The man lying in wait gave Lin Xiaoxiao another suspicious look. "Is it worth the price? If it's not, we won't take it!" The man held up a five, meaning that if it wasn't worth five hundred yuan, they weren't interested and wouldn't take it.
"Of course, if you have top-quality stuff, that's another story..." the person who had been waiting added at the end.
Lin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. The capital city is the capital city; even the black market is different. "Of course, it exists."
"Take me inside and let's talk in detail."
The person squatting hesitated for a few seconds, then asked Lin Xiaoxiao to wait a while, had another person watch the entrance and exit, and went inside to report.
About two minutes later, the young man came over and gestured for Lin Xiaoxiao to follow him. After going around four intersections, they entered a courtyard.
A burly man was waiting in the yard. Upon seeing Lin Xiaoxiao, he didn't exchange pleasantries but went straight to the point and asked, "You said you have goods. What kind of goods? How much?"
"I have plenty of goods here, not just a lot. There are hundreds of toothbrushes and cups alone, some daily necessities, a thousand catties of rice, and at least two thousand catties of vegetables..."
The burly man and the people lying in wait were genuinely surprised when they heard what Lin Xiaoxiao read aloud.
Unexpectedly, this unassuming girl is so talented.
The burly man's slightly impatient expression instantly turned into a smile. "Girl, don't try to trick me."
"If I bring people to pick up the goods and you can't, don't blame me for being impolite."
“I said I have it, and I have no grudge against you. Aren’t you just asking for trouble? I do have the goods, but what’s your price?”
"If the price is right, I can get the goods to you in two hours."
Hearing this, the burly man smiled even more sincerely: "Girl, since you're so sincere in coming to us, the price will definitely satisfy you. No matter what you bring, I'll add five cents to the price of each item."
"Isn't that sincere enough?"
Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head: "We need to add another 30%."
She had already gotten a general idea of the prices on the black market while she was browsing around. At this time of year, and in a place like the capital, the prices and profits were definitely much higher than in the county town.
The eight points I mentioned are nothing to them.
Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment: "If you can all eat it, could you give me some bottles, calligraphy and paintings, or gold bars instead..."
She thought that if she took cash, she could just spend it and be done with it, but taking these things would be like earning money twice.
The burly man glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao with his sharp eyes. Seeing that she seemed unremarkable but not like a bad person, he nodded and said, "Okay, but I'll need to take some time to arrange the things you want."
"Tell me the delivery time and location, and I'll come find you on time."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "I'll be waiting for you in two hours at the back hill behind XX Hospital."
After Lin Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she was about to leave when the burly man asked, "Excuse me, how should I address you, young lady?"
"Kou Tian Wu".
"Miss Wu, see you in two hours."
"Okay." After saying that, Lin Xiaoxiao handed the things to the burly man in front of her, waved her hand, and left.
Lin Xiaoxiao thought she would be able to meet the person in charge here, but he was still just a subordinate. She just wanted to see if this territory was created by Liu Hai and his gang. Since she couldn't meet him, so be it. As long as she could make money, that was fine.
After leaving this area, Lin Xiaoxiao began to explore the surrounding area.
Since the surrounding environment hadn't changed much, she went to the department store to take a look, mainly to see which finished products were selling well.
Wangjia Village could also learn from this.
While browsing, Lin Xiaoxiao noticed that the styles people were wearing now were still the same as the hair accessories everyone wore last year, and they weren't as nice as those produced in Wangjiacun. This gave Lin Xiaoxiao an idea, and she really wanted to open a factory that she could run in Beijing.
However, it's best to just think about it. Even if you want to run a business in the capital, you need to make purchases directly from government entities, and you also need to connect with government agencies like supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores for sales.
She doesn't have that kind of influence in the capital. The Han family does, but... she's just Han Qiushi's girlfriend, not a member of the Han family. Why would they go to such lengths to help her?
They were enthusiastic about my visit, but when it came to tangible benefits, it was another matter entirely. After all, in the capital, getting things done requires connections and favors at every turn.
Favors always need to be repaid... Forget it, forget about the factory, but sending some from Wangjia Village to sell is more realistic.
After finishing her shopping, she only had about an hour left, so she hurriedly went to the back hill of the hospital to gather her things.
There was a small grove of trees on the back hill. She had observed the surrounding area and found that very few people came here.
Seeing that no one was around, she left one or two of her personal belongings in the space and moved the rest out. After moving them out, she started mixing some sand into the rice.
The vegetables in the space could probably fetch a good price. After all, at this time of year, we're mostly eating cabbage and radishes, and there aren't many other green vegetables to eat. Vegetables that come out of season will definitely fetch a different price.
After everything was done, it felt like it was almost dark. After putting everything away, she drank a cup of hot milk tea on the spot. To be honest, the weather in the north is really cold. No matter how many clothes you wear, your hands and feet will still feel cold after being outside for a long time.
After drinking the hot milk tea, I finally felt a little warmer, when I heard someone calling from ahead: "Hey Wu, are you there?"
Hearing the noise, Lin Xiaoxiao tensed up, thinking that an outsider had come in. It wasn't until the next second that she realized that they were calling her.
Realizing that it was someone from the black market looking for her, Lin Xiaoxiao relaxed and replied, "Here."
Lin Xiaoxiao went outside and found that there were five or six people coming. This time, the leader was not the burly man she had seen earlier, but a slightly shorter man.
The men came over with their faces covered, so Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't see their faces and didn't care. She didn't care what they looked like, as long as she got paid in the end.
If they don't give it to her, she's already decided to use the space to control the people, and they won't be able to take any of the goods.
