Su Yan didn't look for any guesthouse, but went straight to the most famous hotel in Huacheng to check in. The next morning, she took Lu Ting to have breakfast in the hotel.
After breakfast, Su Yan took him shopping. Lu Ting smiled and said, "People in the South are so idle. It takes them an hour or two to eat breakfast. There are only three buns, dumplings, and golden cakes on the breakfast plate. It's a bit stingy."
Look at the steamed buns and dumplings in the north, they are bigger than your face, and they come in a whole plate..."
Su Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "People in the south take a bath almost every day no matter how cold it is, while people in the north don't take a bath for a month during the winter..."
"That's because it's so cold in the north that even your breath freezes. Look, it doesn't snow in Flower City in winter."
"Alright, the climate and cultural customs are different between the north and the south, so there's nothing to compare. Let's find a place to get the car out and drive to Pengcheng."
"What are you going to Pengcheng for?"
"The Spring Forsythia Exhibition starts the day after tomorrow. Let's go to the small fishing village in Pengcheng first. I heard that we can get goods from the port city there."
It is usually difficult to ask for leave, so in order to accompany his wife, Lu Ting took ten days off and also tried to find a market for the medicinal herbs grown on the army farm.
Time was very tight, and it took them more than an hour to find a place to put their truck out. The orchids to be exhibited were still in the space warehouse. Lu Ting drove for more than two hours to Peng, and they didn't even have time to eat lunch before they hurried to the small fishing village to find sources of goods.
After looking for more than a dozen sellers, I finally got 400 electronic watches, 100 radios that could play tapes, two boxes of tapes, four large boxes of stockings, 100 pairs of high heels, 300 pairs of frog glasses, and 50 boxes of imitation silk flowers.
After buying these imported goods, Su Yan took Lu Ting to look for clothing factories that afternoon. The people of Pengcheng were very smart and always kept pace with the times. Their factories would start producing whatever clothing was popular in Hong Kong and even export it to mainland China.
After visiting several garment factories, Su Yan found that they had all started producing summer clothing. She asked for some of last year's stock and placed a pre-order for the new summer styles.
Su Yan planned to go back to Huacheng Clothing Wholesale Market to take a look. The two of them ate something in the car and then headed back.
I spent another 15,000 yuan to wholesale a large amount of women's clothing, a small amount of children's clothing and men's clothing.
The second time I went to Huacheng to find a watch factory, I spent a whole day talking to the factory leaders, and finally spent tens of thousands of yuan to ask for 200 table clocks and 2,000 yuan men's and women's watches to clear out their inventory.
The first shot of reform and opening up has been fired, and their factories also want to reform to make more money. Now backpackers come to the south to carry goods back to sell, and some smart and bold ones go directly to the source of the factory.
In the past, they would definitely not do business with private individuals, but now, in order to seek better development, they are naturally willing to put aside their pride and do business with those people. If you don't make money, you are stupid, but they are not stupid.
After the manufacturer confirmed the transaction time, Lu Ting carried a sack of money from the car, and Su Yan entered the watch factory with an electric baton.
Of course, they have put on makeup and changed their hairstyles in the past two days. Today, they even changed their car to an unlicensed truck. Even their transaction identification documents were obtained by someone else. Without surveillance, no one could track them down.
It was a transaction where both money and goods were paid. I paid you and you delivered the goods. After counting the goods and finding no problems, Su Yan asked the factory workers to load the goods into the car.
It was almost seven o'clock when the transaction was completed. Lu Ting drove back to the city to find a new hotel. Not long after the car started, Su Yan suddenly noticed in the rearview mirror that a small car had been following them.
"Lu Ting, we're being watched."
"Don't worry, there's a fork in the road not far ahead. Let's pull over and see what they want to do."
Lu Ting had just parked the car by the roadside when a very fashionably dressed woman got out of the car and walked towards him step by step in high heels.
Before she reached the door of their truck, Lu Ting started the car again, put it in gear, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
The woman yelled, "Damn it! How dare you throw dust in my face? Brother Leopard, they've run away! Hurry and drive the car over here!"
When he reached the fork in the road, Lu Ting chose a small path at random.
"Lu Ting, stop the car quickly."
"There's no one on this road. I'll get the car into the space."
"Yan Yan, why did you enter the space halfway?"
"I suspect there's something fishy about those people in the car behind us. They might be gangsters from the other side of the strait. That woman might be trying to figure out where we're going so she can steal our goods along the way."
"So we're not leaving now?"
"No, I'm going into the city at five in the morning and changing trains to go to the Spring Forsythia Exhibition."
After getting out of the car, they simply went back to their room to take a shower, change clothes and start cooking dinner.
The guy called Brother Leopard asked the driver to stop the car in front of the woman. As soon as the woman got in the car, he kicked the back of the driver's seat.
"Idiot, hurry up and chase after him."
"Okay, Brother Leopard."
After following the fork in the road, they also went to the side trail, but found that there was no sign of the car.
The driver was a little anxious, "Brother Leopard, the car is running away."
Bang!
"You fucking bitch, you ruined my good thing." Brother Leopard slapped the woman hard on the face with his backhand.
The woman covered her face with her hands and burst into tears, sobbing, "Brother Leopard, Brother Yun must have seen it wrong. They should have taken a different path."
"No, Brother Leopard, I noticed they were taking the path on the left. How come they disappeared so suddenly?"
"Stop arguing, and try looking for them another way. We must find them and seize the goods from them."
Brother Leopard fled to the port city because of a mistake he made 20 years ago. He worked as a porter at the dock for two years and then followed a gangster. Last year, the gangster returned to Pengcheng and Huacheng to open dance halls, and he came to help develop the business.
Soon he got involved with local thugs, robbing goods on the road, and trafficking women to the port city... In short, he did whatever could make money.
