Yang Niannian smiled modestly and said, "I can't compare with Boss Du. I just run a small business with my brother to make a living."
A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if she has the momentum to ride the wind and waves, Du Weili's business will not collapse overnight.
Zheng Haitian pondered for a moment and said sincerely, "The price of scrap iron is always fluctuating, and the price changes every day. You may not understand it very well since you just started this industry, but don't worry, I have been doing business for so many years, and I will never make money by cheating others."
"Today the price of scrap metal is 1.6 yuan, but tomorrow it may be 1.7 yuan, or even 1.5 yuan. If we agree on the price now, no matter whether it goes up or down when you deliver the goods tomorrow, we will still pay according to the price we agreed on today. What do you think?"
Zheng Haitian has been doing business for a long time and has seen all kinds of monsters and demons. He has also encountered people who increase prices at short notice, so he said the ugly words in advance.
Yang Niannian exclaimed inwardly, one dollar and sixty cents?
She came here with an ideal price of one to one dollar and fifty cents, thinking that as long as it was within this range, she would sell the scrap metal. She never expected that Zheng Haitian would give her one dollar and sixty cents.
People doing business these days are really honest and never cheat others.
Yang Niannian controlled her excitement, adjusted her mood, and spoke seriously.
"Boss Zheng, don't worry. Although I'm a lesbian, I know that business should be based on words and not change. We have already agreed on a good price. Even if it goes up to two yuan tomorrow, I will still sell it at one yuan and sixty cents. I won't ask for a penny more."
Zheng Haitian immediately looked at Yang Niannian with a higher opinion. Since the girl had said so much, of course he had to show his sincerity as well.
"Okay, little girl, don't worry. Even if the price of scrap metal drops to one dollar tomorrow, I will never reduce your price by a penny."
Yang Niannian was delighted in her heart, but she looked very calm. "Okay, I'll arrange for a truck to bring the scrap metal here tomorrow. I'll go back and arrange things for the scrap yard first."
"Okay." Zheng Haitian agreed readily.
Yang Niannian walked to the door and suddenly thought of something. She turned around and asked, "Boss Zheng, I need to trouble you with something. My scrap yard has just opened not long ago, and I don't have the funds to buy a lot of equipment. Can your factory's forklift help me forklift some goods tomorrow? I'm willing to pay for the labor."
Zheng Haitian smiled without hesitation.
"I'll say hello to the forklift driver later. You can ask someone to lead the way tomorrow morning, and the labor fee will be waived."
Yang Niannian was so happy that she didn't hold back her expression and smiled with curved eyebrows, "Thank you, Boss Zheng."
After saying this, she realized that this was a bit immature, so she quickly straightened her expression and said, "Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll come back tomorrow morning."
Zheng Haitian was amused by her childish appearance. He walked her to the factory gate and looked at Yang Niannian's back as she left pushing her bicycle. He sighed in his heart that it was true that the new generation pushes the old generation forward. If Du Weili continued his business in this way, sooner or later it would be suppressed by this little girl.
The business world is changing rapidly, so you really can't take it lightly and you have to always pay attention to changes in the situation.
…
Yang Niannian rode her bicycle back happily. The price of scrap iron was higher than expected. It would be a lie to say that she was unhappy. As long as she sold the scrap metal, she could share the money with Jiang Yang.
After some estimation, she could earn at least 10,000 yuan this time, and she could get about 7,000 yuan. Together with the money in her passbook, it would be enough to buy a nice house in the center of Haicheng.
According to the trend of the times, Haicheng's economy will continue to soar in the next few years, and by the 21st century its economic level will be on par with that of first-tier cities.
When the money arrives, buy a house first.
Just as I was thinking about it happily, the bicycle wheels suddenly stopped turning.
Yang Niannian was caught off guard and fell directly to the ground. Her calf instantly felt numb with pain. She took a breath but had no time to check her leg injury because she found four ferocious-looking men standing next to her. She fell because these men grabbed her bicycle.
It was noon and the sun was at its hottest. There were no residential areas on either side of the road leading to the processing plant, so few people passed by. These people saw this and came here to stop her.
"Brother Chen, this girl is quite pretty. I think we need to take some practical action to have a more deterrent effect." A man who looked like a standing onion and was wearing a khaki short-sleeved shirt, rubbed his palms and stared at Yang Niannian with lustful eyes.
The man called Brother Chen was fat and had big ears. His face was full of fat, like pig fat. There was a layer of greasy sweat on his face. At this moment, his eyes were even more obscene than those of the man in khaki clothes.
He narrowed his willow-like eyes and smirked, "Little girl, it's your bad luck to fall into our hands. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for offending someone you shouldn't have offended."
Yang Niannian was so smart that she realized immediately that it was not a coincidence that these people were blocking her here. She hadn't offended anyone recently. This was her first time to come to the processing station to discuss business, but she was blocked by people. It was most likely related to Du Weili.
You bastard, he said nice things on the surface, but it turns out he was up to no good.
She looked around but didn't see any passers-by. It was impossible for her to escape from the four men on her own.
Yang Niannian was a little panicked. It was so unlucky to encounter a ghost in broad daylight.
She remained calm and spoke politely, "Brothers, I have no grudge against you. You are just taking money from others to help them get rid of disasters. I will give you double the amount of money they give you. Please don't embarrass me, okay?"
She didn't dare to say that she was a military wife, for fear that these people would worry about being retaliated against and thus kill her. She could only try to persuade the four people to rebel.
When Brother Chen and the others heard this, they burst into laughter. Brother Chen squatted down, patted Yang Niannian's cheek, and said with a wicked smile.
"Little girl, how much money do you have? Even if you can come up with double the money, can you be more powerful than the people who want to punish you? Today we are just teaching you a small lesson. If you obey us, you will suffer less. As long as you keep your mouth shut and don't talk about what you saw this morning, we won't make things difficult for you. We will let you go after you feel comfortable for a while."
Can’t I talk about what I saw today?
Yang Niannian understood instantly that it was Du Weili’s woman who wanted to bully her, what a vicious woman.
In her heart, she brought up all of Wei Qin's ancestors, but her words were as soft as ever.
"I won't say anything nonsense. I'll give you double the money. No, five times. You can go back and say you've dealt with me. With this money, you can find any pretty girl you want. Please be kind and don't embarrass me, okay?"
Brother Chen gave a lewd smirk and said, "If you were uglier, I might have agreed. You said you look like a fairy, so even if I spend money, where can I find someone like you?"
He turned to look at his three little followers, and with a glance, they couldn't wait to throw the bicycle that was pressing on Yang Niannian's legs to the side of the road, and then wanted to drag Yang Niannian into the deep grass on the side of the road.
Yang Niannian felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her. Her heart sank immediately. If she was insulted by these people, she would never be able to get out of this shadow for the rest of her life. It would be better for her to just die. Maybe she could even travel back to the 21st century.
Just as the men were about to take action, a shrill car horn suddenly sounded not far away.
Before they could react, a car stopped in front of them. Yang Niannian just thought that she was not going to die, but when she looked up, she almost died on the spot.
Wow, what kind of shitty luck is this?
What kind of joke is God playing on her?
