Chapter 15 The Ungrateful Man Who Sold His Sisters to Escape the Mountains
After saying that, he pressed the cigarette butt directly onto the thug's shoulder.
He was so burned that he trembled and immediately begged for mercy.
"Brother! Brother! I didn't know he was your man. It's my fault, I was blind to his greatness!"
A wise man knows when to yield: "We're all brothers, and you know our Brother Xiang, so please don't do this."
The man looked like he was about to cry.
Zhang Da and Zhang Er behind him trembled. Does Brother Ji still have connections here?
“Go back and tell Ah Xiang I’m here. Let’s have dinner together tonight. Meet me at the usual place!” Ji Huaizhi glanced at him and sneered, “I’d like to ask him if he’s the one who’s in charge of educating his subordinates.”
They remembered that Brother Xiang seemed to have said something about giving something to so-and-so today.
"No, bro!" the thug begged for mercy, worried that Brother Xiang might have messed with someone he shouldn't have.
That would definitely be the end of it.
Getting beaten up is a minor matter.
"Big brother, we were wrong. Please don't mention today's events to Brother Xiang, okay?"
The man who had been burned by the cigarette butt took out some money from his pocket: "Brother, you guys keep these for your cigarettes. This is my problem."
"I must have been blind! I shouldn't have stopped your brother!"
Ji Huaizhi kept quiet with one hand in his pocket, playing with his phone.
Zhang Er stepped forward and kicked him: "You'd better behave yourself when you see my brother in the future. Let's just let this go today. Whether we talk to your boss about this tonight depends on his mood."
"Alright, alright, you must have the right attitude!" The man held up the money again.
Zhang Er, unsure whether to accept the money, looked at Ji Huaizhi.
Ji Huaizhi raised an eyebrow: "Keep it. Have Zhang Dana go buy cigarettes."
"Yes, yes, go buy cigarettes." They were afraid the three of them wouldn't accept the cigarettes, which would be a huge offense. As long as they accepted them, the matter would be over.
Seeing that no one spoke up, Zhang Er said, "Hurry up and leave, we'll settle accounts with your boss tonight!"
"Let's go, let's go!" Everyone scattered in a panic.
Zhang Da breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Ji, you're really amazing. I was almost scared to death."
"You're really something, having connections even from so far away."
He then raised a thumb.
Ji Huaizhi's gaze was indescribable: "Let's go. Are you waiting for them to come after us?"
Zhang Da was completely bewildered: "Huh... what does that mean?"
Zhang Er pushed him: "What do you mean? Brother Ji was faking it, just fooling them, didn't you see that?"
Zhang Da hurriedly followed them.
When Brother Xiang went out for dinner that evening, these thugs from the afternoon went with him, only to find that the man they had met that afternoon was nowhere to be found.
"Brother, those three men from this afternoon aren't here!"
The man tapped the speaker on the head: "Do you think I'm blind? Do you think I can't see?"
"Damn it! We've been scammed!"

Ji Huaizhi and his two companions wholesaled clothing, accessories, small appliances, toys, and a considerable amount of general merchandise in Quanzhou.
They didn't do much wholesale clothing. The three of them spent two days in the clothing market getting to know people in the clothing factories and placing orders directly with them.
It was more than half a month later when I returned.
After leaving Fujian Province, the three did not return immediately, but went to Shenzhen.
The East District and Baiyun Garment Wholesale Market.
When Ji Huaizhi and the other two returned to Chongqing, they were exhausted. It was past 3 a.m. when they arrived at the North Railway Station.
Zhang Er was puzzled when he saw that Ji Huaizhi wasn't going back with them: "Brother Ji, aren't you going back to rest? It'll be dawn soon."
"You all go back and rest, I'm going to check on the lotus pond."
“It’s still so early, you’re going there now…” Zhang Er frowned.
Ji Huaizhi smiled faintly: "Making money doesn't have to be done early or late."
Upon seeing this, Zhang Er dragged his half-asleep older brother along to follow.
Even before four o'clock, a lot of people had already gathered at the entrance of Lotus Pond, all there to grab the best deals. Those who arrived early could snag the cheapest items and the most attractive styles.
Zhang Er was somewhat shocked as he looked at the people guarding outside.
No wonder Brother Ji said that making money doesn't depend on when it's early or late.
So many people are outside here to grab the goods.
"Lianhuachi opens at four o'clock, all for people to grab the goods. The goods we brought back from Guangzhou were all sold out long ago. Luckily, we shipped a few batches back from Quanzhou first."
"I estimate that several more batches of goods will arrive soon."
Zhang Er: "Brother Ji, actually we're doing wholesale, right? It's just that we get our prices lower. But isn't it hard work for us to come all this way to find suppliers?"
“There are garment factories in Chongqing too. Wouldn’t it be cheaper to source goods from local factories?”
“But our designs are more novel than other stores.” Ji Huaizhi pointed to a spot a little inside the Lotus Pond gate: “Look.”
Zhang Da and Zhang Er looked over and saw that there were even more people lying on the ground.
"The people over there who are staking out our store are actually there."
Ji Huaizhi hadn't slept well the night before and was feeling a bit dizzy, so he lit a cigarette to clear his head: "Our shop is also located a little further inside."
At four o'clock, as they prepared to pull up the roller shutter, these people swarmed in.
The two Zhang brothers were speechless.
As soon as you enter, you can see Wang Dashan and Yu Hai skillfully selling goods.
Ji Huaizhi raised his chin: "You guys watch for a while and then go back to rest. I'm giving you a day off today. You'll have to come back tomorrow to help Wang Dashan and the others with the sales."
After speaking, Ji Huaizhi began to observe.
The morning market at Lianhua Pond is particularly lively; people can start fighting over a pair of pants.
They might also argue over who gets what first.
Looking at the situation of his shop, it seemed that Jiang Fulin and the other two had managed it quite well while he was away, and he also saw a few unfamiliar faces.
The women's clothing was mostly sold by women. Not only that, the shoe business was also doing well. I saw Fang Youliang greeting customers inside.
"Boss, look at these leather shoes, they're top-quality, they sell very well, and the stock isn't available on a first-come, first-served basis."
"Yes, leather shoes and belts are selling well right now. How would you like to get them?"
"We don't bundle sales; you can take whatever you want, and we don't force you to buy or sell!"
"Brother Ji!" Jiang Fulin thought he had seen wrong, but when he came over, he realized it really was Brother Ji: "Just arrived? Aren't you going back to rest?"
"Just arrived. I got off at the North Station and thought I'd come over and check it out. How's it going?"
Ji Huaizhi offered him a cigarette.
“It was really difficult at the beginning without you. Everyone made mistakes. But it’s not so bad after a while. We all learn as we go,” Jiang Fulin told him.
"In addition, business was so good before that we almost ran out of stock. The goods from Guangzhou have not arrived yet. Youliang and I went to the local manufacturers. I thought you said before that you would not always use the goods from the coastal distributors."
"So the two of us contacted two local garment factories and jewelry factories and sent a lot of goods over, which made it manageable."
"Later, the goods you shipped arrived, and even though the price was high, we continued to sell them as always."
Ji Huaizhi nodded: "Well done. Judging from how happy you are, you must have made quite a bit of money, right?"
Jiang Fulin was extremely excited: "Brother Ji, so much money! I haven't been able to sleep since you left."
“Our clothing and apparel business brings in 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a day, and on the day we sold the most, we made 50,000 yuan. At that time, Youliang, Xiaohouzi, and I almost fainted.”
"Daily necessities are relatively few, only two or three thousand a day, but that's not a small amount. Shoes are twenty or thirty thousand a day, which really means supply can't meet demand."
"Especially socks, you don't know, socks account for a lot of the sales revenue."
"Luckily, you mentioned before that you left the phone numbers of the distributors in Guangzhou, so they can keep supplying us. Otherwise, we really wouldn't have enough to sell!"
"The profit margin on watches is high, but it's unstable. Overall, it's not bad."
"However, the seafood and dried goods wholesale business has always been looked after by Xiao Houzi. I haven't had time to oversee it, so I've left it entirely to him."
Seeing him laugh like that, Ji Huaizhi wasn't surprised at all by the money. Instead, he asked him other questions:
"Have you not slept for days?"
