After listening to Zhang Xin's story, Murong Jie chuckled and said, "I used to think you were having a hard time, but now I realize you're not worthy of sympathy at all. You've taken refuge under your own brother-in-law's command, yet you're still causing trouble every day. If I were your brother-in-law, I'd come back and cripple one of your hands!"
Zhang Xin had a bitter face and remained kneeling on the ground, refusing to get up. "I know I deserve to die. I've committed a heinous crime. I shouldn't have gambled in this gambling house. But it's already happened, and I've repented in time. I'll definitely learn from my mistakes in the future. It's just that I can't get over this hurdle right now. Old sir, please be kind and show some mercy and help me..."
You Chengdao sighed, thought for a moment, and said, "Xiaojie is right. Gamblers are never worthy of pity, and the same goes for you. You have to bear the consequences of your own actions. Besides, if you get a batch of counterfeit goods and pass them off as real goods, it will sooner or later ruin the reputation of your brother-in-law's leather factory. Why bother?"
Zhang Xin slumped on the ground, his eyes slightly blank. “I haven’t actually delivered the goods I sold to the black market dealer yet. I lied to him that the factory was working day and night to rush production, and there were still five days left before the agreed time.
My brother-in-law has been running a factory for many years and has already reached the market price for leather. Using counterfeit goods as imitations would be impossible to fool him. So I wanted to get a batch of counterfeit goods as quickly as possible and deliver them to the black market dealers on time.
Because the price of the goods is far lower than the market price, even if the black market dealer finds out, he won’t be able to say anything. At most, he will come to me to argue. I can only take it one step at a time and solve the urgent problem first..."
It made sense a bit more after saying that. You Chengdao actually had an idea in mind a long time ago. He looked up at Murong Jie and said, "It is definitely impossible for me to take the lead. It's not because of the lack of money, but because I have completely retired. I don't have the mind nor the ability to return to the arena.
Just because I can't do it doesn't mean others can't. You can talk to Xiaojie about this business deal, and maybe we can have a satisfactory outcome!"
After saying that, he turned and left, going to the balcony to take care of his flowers and plants.
After looking at each other, Murong Jie instantly understood You Chengdao's meaning. At this time, Tianqi Company had just opened, and You Tianfu was planning to do some small business with small amounts of money to test the waters and see if the channels opened in the past few days could flow smoothly.
Zhang Xin's case met all the requirements: the amount was small, and it was simple and clear. If it worked, it would mean the channel had been successfully established. If it didn't, they could easily pay out the 100,000 yuan, without any worries.
Sitting opposite Zhang Xin, Murong Jie confirmed his requirements and the general details, and finally agreed reluctantly with an embarrassed look.
Zhang Xin was now desperate. Although he didn't know Murong Jie, he was after all someone approved by Cheng Dao, so he chose to trust him completely. He directly took out the 100,000 yuan in his wallet and added an extra 10,000 yuan: "Brother Ajie, I have a total of 120,000 yuan. I have spent several thousand running around these days, and I have more than 110,000 yuan left.
I'll keep the change, and the remaining 110,000 will be given to you. I don't ask for anything else, I just hope you can help me get the goods back to me as soon as possible..."
Murong Jie was also a business man who knew how to do business. He didn't care about the small profits. He just accepted the 100,000 yuan and put the remaining 10,000 yuan back into his wallet. He and Zhang Xin added each other's contact information and asked him to go back and send him the detailed information and related information of the goods. He would arrange the shipment as soon as possible.
Now Zhang Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes instantly lit up. He almost wanted to thank You Chengdao and Murong Jie's eight generations of ancestors. After thanking them profusely, he quickly went back to prepare the materials.
Upon receiving the news, You Tianfu immediately began preparations and contacted Chinatown immediately. Wang Manxi also quickly began operations, purchasing some machinery and installing it in the building materials factory. They quickly began production based on the information Zhang Xin had sent them.
This was destined to be a losing deal. The cost of purchasing the machines plus the transportation fees actually exceeded the price of the goods themselves. However, in order to test whether the channel was successfully opened, the brothers were willing to spend the money.
In just three days, all the goods were prepared and transported from abroad to the country by water.
The brothers personally led people to the dock to receive the goods. Lin Lidong was the busiest one. The others were watching from the side. Only he and his brothers were unloading the goods back and forth.
Hao Zhengguang looked at him in amazement and said with a smile, "What's wrong with Dongzi today? Are you so excited? You're even doing this little job yourself?"
Murong Jie responded immediately, "Look at him. He doesn't look like he's working, but more like he's looking for something. This guy must have asked someone to smuggle some contraband back from Chinatown, right?"
As they were talking, they saw Lin Lidong walk out of the warehouse, holding a half-sized foam cardboard box in his arms. He returned to the others and took apart the box layer by layer for a long time, finally revealing a pile of scattered parts.
Although they were just some spare parts, You Tianfu could still tell at a glance that they were gun parts. The buttstock and barrel were very obvious, and there were three boxes of bullets at the bottom!
Hao Zhengguang glared and said softly, "Dongzi, what are you doing? How dare you do this in the country?"
Lin Lidong, however, acted nonchalant. After checking that there were no missing parts, he closed the lid contentedly. "What do you know? In our line of work, how can we survive without some tough weapons for self-defense? I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of these things. I'll get some stockpiled first, as they'll come in handy someday!"
After saying that, he turned his head and said, "Brother Tian, am I right?"
Gunfire has always been Lin Lidong's hobby. You Tianfu understood this and didn't blame him. He just reminded him again and again: "You can have this thing, but you must not take it out easily unless it is absolutely necessary. You should know your limits."
That afternoon, Zhang Xin drove the truck back to Lujiu City. After inspecting the goods, he found that the details and quality were even better than he had imagined. He smiled from ear to ear, held Murong Jie's hand for five minutes before letting go and driving back to deliver the goods.
The successful completion of the business was good news for Zhang Xin, and even better news for his brothers, because it proved the smooth flow of the channel, and they could take orders with confidence in the future!
After seeing Zhang Xin off, the others were about to go back when they were stopped by Lin Lidong, who said mysteriously, "I've already prepared the venue in Dadong District. I originally wanted to choose an auspicious day to open it, but there are so many happy events today, so it's better to do it today than to wait. Let's go now, arrange the red silk and firecrackers, and cut the ribbon to open it!"
