The next day.
With the help of Hou Yongping, the village party secretary, Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin obtained a permit to visit relatives in the city and embarked on their first trip to the city.
Ye Beiping and Jiang He got up early in the morning and rushed to the train station.
I left a note at home before going to the train station.
After yesterday's phone call, Ye Beiping believed that Su Xinyi would be back soon, but business matters could not be delayed.
Compared to making money, Su Ze's achievements are insignificant.
We'll have to come back and deal with it when we get back.
With the intention of making a lot of money, Ye Beiping chose to take the train this time.
After all, highway robbers are no joke. He offended them last time, and he probably wouldn't be so lucky if he ran into them again.
"Beiping, why don't we take a bus?" Jiang He asked, covering his backpack and looking around.
He appeared very cautious.
Before leaving home, Ye Beiping stuffed the payment for a thousand pairs of leather shoes into his backpack and handed it to Jiang He, solemnly stating that it was payment for the goods.
That's why Jiang He was carrying a ten-thousand-yuan fortune on him, and he was terrified the whole way, constantly checking to see if the money was still inside.
Seeing this, Ye Beiping didn't say anything else.
After all, this was something he did intentionally. He gave Jiang He 10,000 yuan and also carried 10,000 yuan with him. He wouldn't put all his eggs in one basket.
We sold 960 pairs of leather shoes in the past two days, and the total cost plus profit was [amount missing].
One thousand yuan was the principal, which was used to pay for goods from Jiangnan Leather Factory and Wencheng No. 1 Leather Shoe Factory. The remaining fourteen thousand yuan was their profit.
Excluding the 30% of 4,200 yuan that belonged to the Jiang brothers, Jiang He and Jiang Hai, the rest was Ye Beiping's profit.
However, I only had 4,000 yuan hidden at home last night, and I only brought 10,000 yuan with me, plus the two hundred yuan or so that I had left over from previous expenses.
It was crowded when boarding the train, and Jiang He held his backpack tightly to his chest, saying, "Beiping, wait for me, wait for me."
Jiang He grew anxious as he watched Ye Beiping nonchalantly board the train.
Upon hearing the sound, Ye Beiping stood in the passageway waiting for Jiang He.
Whew!
Having finally caught up with Ye Beiping, Jiang He gasped for breath and said, "Wait for me, why are you walking so fast?"
"I was just looking for a seat," Ye Beiping said with a raised eyebrow and a smile.
Soon, the two found their respective locations.
As soon as Jiang He sat down, he reached into his backpack again to check if he had any money. This made Ye Beiping frown and whisper in his ear, "Are you afraid that pickpockets on the train won't know you have money in your bag? Don't be so nervous. We're not on a long-distance train. We'll be there in a few hours."
Upon hearing this, Jiang He thought about it and realized that Ye Beiping's words made sense, which calmed him down.
"I...this isn't the first time I've brought this..."
Jiang He was going to talk about money, but in the end he kept quiet.
Seeing Jiang He like this, Ye Beiping pursed his lips, put his backpack in front of his chest, and began to close his eyes to rest.
Rumble!
Soon after, the train slowly started moving.
Looking at the person sitting opposite him, Jiang He dared not close his eyes to rest like Ye Beiping; his eyes were wide open like copper bells.
Although he didn't make any defensive movements, his eyes and the way he nervously clutched his backpack betrayed him.
Across from him were two men wearing glasses. When they noticed Jiang He glaring at them, they exchanged a glance, shook their heads, and chuckled.
This trip to Wencheng was unlike Ye Beiping's first trip there, which was filled with unpleasant experiences.
After all, there are police officers on trains. There will definitely be petty thieves, but there will definitely be no blatant robbery.
Such blatant robberies only happen on the way to foreign countries. Some countries have poor public security, so blatant robberies often occur in remote areas.
I can only marvel at how safe my country is!
When it was time to eat, Ye Beiping's stomach suddenly growled twice.
"Beiping, are you hungry?" Jiang He said with a sly smile.
Nothing happened on the first half of the journey, but Jiang He also let his guard down on the second half.
Ye Beiping nodded slightly, looked around, and asked, "Has the vendor been here?"
"Not yet." Jiang He also glanced around.
"Brother, I have some fruit here. Have some if you're hungry."
The speaker was a young man sitting opposite Ye Beiping and Jiang He.
This action put Jiang He on guard.
Looking at the river, the young man chuckled and said, "Brother, if you're so vigilant about your surroundings as soon as you get on the bus, you're likely to attract thieves."
Upon hearing this, Jiang He's face flushed red, and he stammered, "Who...who's nervous?"
Inwardly, I was screaming: You have no idea how much money I have on me. I'll show it to you and scare you to death.
However, seeing his blushing face only made the young man and the middle-aged man next to him laugh even more unrestrainedly.
Ye Beiping was also quite helpless, but he didn't take the apple the young man had placed on the table. He said softly, "Thank you, but I'll buy it myself later."
“Alright.” The young man nodded, not taking the apple back. After looking Ye Beiping and Jiang He over, he suddenly asked, “Brothers, judging from your appearance, you must be going to Wencheng to get some goods, right?”
Buying goods?
Perhaps it was jargon, as Ye Beiping didn't quite understand what it meant.
All I know from my memory is that in those days, it was possible to get goods in Wencheng and resell them.
Of course, people like him don't necessarily go to Wencheng. They have connections with state-owned factories in many places and directly buy and sell goods locally.
