In fact, Xu Xiangyang had been thinking about this for a long time. After all, he often frequented the black market, and it was unnecessary for him to attract attention.
If you get caught, not only will you be finished, but your family will also suffer.
The thought of his family's smiling faces and contented expressions made him not want to hurt them.
"Brother Li, what do you think?" Xu Xiangyang asked, looking at the person opposite him.
Brother Li thought for a moment and said, "You and Zhang Lian are classmates, so you should call me uncle or uncle, right?"
Xu Xiangyang: ...
What should he say?
How did this sudden answer cause him to strain his back?
"Hehe, Uncle Li, I'm sorry, I didn't turn around for a moment." He smiled awkwardly but politely.
“My name is Li Guoqiang. Now that we’re acquainted, with Zhang Lian on my side, I can definitely trust you.” Li Guoqiang’s meaning was clear.
That means knowing who you are, where you work, and that you need to know more about people you'll be working with long-term.
Xu Xiangyang understood and then placed the handbag he had brought on the table.
"These are the things I brought. Look, I have a lot more."
After Li Guoqiang opened the bag, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he took out all the items.
"These are all new." He fiddled with the clothes in his hands; they were of very good quality.
Moreover, they are all trendy styles from department stores, which are very good.
Xu Xiangyang nodded and said, "I have plenty more over there. If you need it, I can supply it reliably."
These clothes were originally brought back to be sold. He had set aside some for his family members, so he could take them back later with an excuse.
Otherwise, it would be strange to take clothes out of the house when you don't usually go out.
Li Guoqiang was somewhat surprised, not expecting him to have so many clothes.
Although he was curious, he didn't ask any more questions, after all, this was not an ordinary thing.
He thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if Xiao Qian told you, but I only buy at low prices and don't resell on your behalf. You know the black market has been turbulent lately, and if it gets confiscated, no one can say for sure what will happen."
This was his foolproof plan, designed to prevent others from suffering losses after the confiscation and to avoid damaging his own reputation.
I'm willing to make any amount of money, no matter how little.
Xu Xiangyang had discussed this issue with Qian Wenqing before, but this time, as long as they could cooperate, it would be fine, and it would also be for the sake of future development.
Anyway, even though the clothes are cheap, below market price, he still makes a profit.
He nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, you name your price. If I think it's suitable, we'll cooperate."
Li Guoqiang was stunned for a moment, not expecting him to agree so readily, and didn't know what price to offer.
However, nowadays, the defective products from clothing factories are almost indistinguishable from the genuine ones, so he had an idea.
"These thin clothes, tops and pants are five yuan each, and dresses are eight yuan."
These clothes are all summer wear, so this is roughly the price.
Even though I don't earn much now, I'm still willing to spend money on dressing myself up.
Especially for those who receive a full salary, even temporary workers who only earn ten or eight yuan a month are willing to save up to buy a nice piece of clothing.
After the days of hunger were over, all people wanted was to have enough to eat and wear.
Xu Xiangyang did the math in his head and realized that he could make a profit, and quite a lot of it, not to mention how convenient and hassle-free it was.
This time he brought more than twenty pieces of clothing, and gave them all to Li Guoqiang.
When it was time to pay, he asked me to wait a moment.
"Uncle Li, don't worry about the money for now. Let me see if there's anything suitable."
Li Guoqiang understood upon hearing this; he needed to buy some more things.
"Okay, take your time looking around. Everything in this room was delivered today. Take out anything you like."
He likes partners like that, who deliver the goods and then he buys things to take back.
How wonderful!
Xu Xiangyang rummaged around and found some malted milk powder, then took out two cans.
This can be given to Wang Xiumin. The milk powder in the space can be brought back next time on a business trip.
A short while later, he finished searching for his belongings and left with the remaining money.
There's no need to prepare anything now. If needed in the future, just send the items over, and we can sell them directly.
He said goodbye to Zhang Lian before leaving, then carried his things home.
Just then, a few young men walked towards them, and Xu Xiangyang immediately recognized one of them as Wu Hao.
It was obvious that Wu Hao did not recognize him.
"Don't even mention it, Liu Feng is a madman. It's just a few thousand yuan, why did he have to make such a fuss, even pulling a knife? I just snatched it away from him." Wu Hao said, smugly.
His face was full of mockery as he continued, "With his cowardly attitude, he can't accept defeat and resorts to violence. Let's see how smug he is this time."
"Brother Hao is really amazing."
"Exactly, they don't even look at who they're dealing with, yet they dare to use weapons."
"Brother Hao, is Liu Feng finished this time?"
"We're doomed!"
"..."
As they walked further and further away, I could no longer hear what they were saying.
Xu Xiangyang remained calm, feeling that these two wouldn't really be over.
There might be further developments later, but that's none of his business anymore.
Liu Feng initially wanted to use him to find subsidies, but he deserves what happened now.
The two of them were practically locked in a bitter struggle.
He looked away and carried his things home.
It was past six o'clock in the afternoon when I got home, but it was still not dark.
The family sat at the front door chatting with their neighbors, their faces beaming with relaxed smiles.
They hadn't had such a relaxed time in a long time. Since coming to the city, they'd spent their days eating, drinking, and wandering around.
Life in the city is definitely better than in the countryside. Every day I see them going to work or taking care of their children at home.
"Xiangyang is back. What did he bring?" Wang Xiumin noticed him at a glance.
And the bag in her hand.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "I brought you two cans of malted milk powder. Make some and drink it when you get back."
He understood what Wang Xiumin meant. After all, the intention to show off was so obvious, how could he not cooperate with his mother?
Wang Xiumin smiled helplessly and said, "Oh dear, why buy these things? You just love to waste money. Don't do this again next time."
She then greeted him and followed Xu Xiangyang into the courtyard. Once inside, she patted her son on the shoulder and said, "Good job, you can even understand what I mean."
She was referring to what had just happened outside.
Xu Xiangyang sighed, at a loss for what to do with her. "You're my mother. Do you think I don't know what you're up to with just a glance?"
These words pleased Wang Xiumin greatly; having a son was truly wonderful.
Like her, she's clever.
Xu Xiangyang opened his bag and said, "There are a few clothes in here, borrowed from someone else, all new. You can distribute them to my grandpa and the others tonight, everyone should get some."
As they spoke, Wang Xiumin had already examined everything.
"Everyone gets a share?" She glanced at her son unhappily. "You said everyone gets a share, where's yours?"
