Hong Nantian returned to the house and the two drank tea and chatted.
Lian Xiaomin took out a piece of paper as usual, wrote down several types of materials that could be traded, and said that they could only be shipped to Shanghai tonight.
"Xiao Ma, I have something to discuss with you. There is a shortage of food in Shanghai recently, and the New Year is coming soon. It's difficult. The purchasing directors of two factories have contacted me secretly, wanting to buy a batch of food."
"...Look, can I get more? Then I can sell them for tens of thousands of kilograms."
Lian Xiaomin looked at him with a smile: "You've made such a big fuss, and you've even made a deal with the factory. Will something serious happen?"
Hong Nantian shook his head: "I am actually also considering quitting while I am ahead. What you told me today about Xiangjiang touched me."
"...Xiao Ma, I'm in the black market, and my business is getting bigger and bigger. It's only a matter of time before something goes wrong! I'm afraid you know that I have connections up there, too."
"...But I also want to make more money and stop early. I can go to Hong Kong. I'm not a family-oriented person, and my parents know that."
"…They have a good son-in-law who is no different from their own son. My sister gave birth to an eldest son whose last name is Hong! My parents now have four grandchildren in total. They have so many children and grandchildren that they don't rely on me at all."
"...I'm willing to go out and try my luck. My life won't be lived in vain!"
Lian Xiaomin ate snacks while listening to him talk about these things in a very logical way. Well, Xiaohong is really a "talent" and is quite suitable for going out to try his luck.
Moreover, they have the capital. In today's era, they can be considered wealthy people. Every time they purchase goods from me, they are worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.
In particular, the Shanghai stock market is a good place, and it is sure to have a lot of "treasures".
"Xiao Hong, I think you're right. You should quit while you're ahead! You'll be spared from being held accountable one day."
"...How much food do the two factories you mentioned want? I originally have some extra, but I'm going to deliver it to someone else. How about I give it to you first and tell me the number."
Hong Nantian was very happy when he heard this. They settled the accounts together.
This time, Hong Nantian himself wanted:
60,000 kilograms each of rice, flour and corn flour.
Ten thousand kilograms of soybeans and twenty thousand kilograms of millet.
That's all the food.
As for other materials, a total of 600 rolls of ordinary cloth are needed, half of which are Dacron and half are pure cotton.
200 rolls of woolen cloth, which is the most in-demand. Although it is expensive, three times the price of ordinary cloth, it is the most popular.
After listing the same things as last time, Lian Xiaomin took out a few new items from the backpack.
First came the leather shoes, and as usual, one pair of samples for men and one for women were taken out.
Even a person as particular as Hong Nantian was attracted by these leather shoes and praised them repeatedly!
Although the style is simple, the quality of the workmanship is so good that it has never been seen on the market.
He also put the pair of size 42 black leather shoes on his feet and tried them on. They were really beautiful.
"Xiao Ma, these shoes are really nice. My cousin also took some, right? Give me all the remaining ones."
Lian Xiaomin nodded: "Okay, there are about 8,000 pairs in total, and the wholesale price is 9 yuan. I'll give you a few more colors, such as these men's shoes, brown, and dark green. The green is very deep and very beautiful."
"The pair you're wearing are high-tops. We also have low-tops. I'll get them for you... I don't like the trouble of buying other shoes, so they only sell high-tops."
"In addition to black, women's shoes also come in red, brown, and white. I'll get you some of each."
Hong Nantian walked around the yard wearing his new shoes. They were very comfortable. These high-top leather shoes were perfect for winter. Are there low-top ones? That would be great too!
"Okay, eight thousand pairs. I'll take them all. I'll give some to my brothers in the surrounding counties. They'll sell out quickly."
Xiao Hong asked for 10,000 kilograms of cotton. Although Shanghai is not as cold as Northeast China, we still need cotton clothes and quilts. Cotton is in short supply and the domestic production is very small.
Finally, it's fruits. The banned fruits include apples, pears, and oranges, 10,000 kilograms each, with a wholesale price of 0.2 cents per kilogram.
These are the goods Xiao Hong wanted. After calculation, the total value is 251,000 yuan.
Next, we determined the food needs of the two large factories, the Machinery Factory and the Textile Factory, and calculated that each unit would be given 30,000 kilograms of rice, 30,000 kilograms of flour, 80,000 kilograms of corn flour, and 80,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes.
This is not a small amount, but the machinery factory alone is a large factory with several thousand people. This amount of food is just enough. Any less will be a drop in the bucket.
In this case, each factory would have 88,000 yuan worth of food.
Xiao Hong said okay, and he went to inform the people in the factory, asking them to get ready and come to trade with him tomorrow.
Lian Xiaomin promised to deliver the goods to Hong Nantian’s warehouse tonight.
No matter how he deals with others tomorrow, he will come to settle the bill at dusk tomorrow night.
The two of them agreed on these things and then started talking about other things.
"Xiao Ma, wait for me to find you some nice things. They are all jewels I have saved. See if you can afford to buy a villa in Hong Kong."
He rummaged through the walls and took out three small wooden boxes, each about the size of a 20-inch carry-on suitcase.
They were opened and placed on the bed next to them.
When Lian Xiaomin saw this, her blood pressure went up. Xiaohong must be so rich!
"Where did you get so many rough diamonds? They are so valuable. I don't even know how many carats they are! These five dollars are definitely enough to buy two big villas."
Before she even looked at anything else, she was attracted by several precious rough diamonds.
I remember reading in the news in my previous life that a 709-carat rough diamond in Japan was auctioned for more than 40 million RMB.
Hong Nantian has two diamonds of this size, each weighing about 700 carats.
There is another one, which is a pink diamond!
These rough stones have not yet been polished, but jewelry companies will definitely be willing to buy them at a high price.
If all five are added together, they must be worth at least three million Hong Kong dollars. Isn't that two large villas?
After all, houses in Hong Kong are definitely much more expensive now. It is normal that they have more than doubled compared to when I bought them two years ago. This is the current stage.
She put down the five rough diamonds, put them back in the box, looked at the other jewels, and picked out sixteen pieces.
Among them are jade necklaces, jade pendants, and jade bracelets, all of which are imperial green, so valuable~
There are also necklaces inlaid with rubies or emeralds.
"Just these sixteen pieces, plus five rough stones, I'll take them away and exchange them for money for you to buy some more properties, villas, storefronts, and the like."
Hong Nantian nodded repeatedly: "Then it all depends on you! I have a few more precious pieces at home, all of which are large jade carvings with ancient charm. I like them very much."
"...Have you ever heard of Jadeite Cabbage? I have one in my collection and would like to give it to you."
Wow! Lian Xiaomin was immediately overjoyed and patted Xiaohong on the shoulder.
That's very kind of you. I won't do this for free, brother.
"Haha, then I'll accept it with pleasure. Thank you very much!"
