It was very hard for Yuan Fangguo and Zhao Yong to transport the bacon all the way to Guangzhou, but the sales of the bacon were worth their hard work. After two and a half days, almost all the bacon and sausages were sold out. With more than 2,000 kilograms of bacon and sausages, Yuan Fangguo and Li Chunli earned about 5,000 to 6,000 yuan.
On the afternoon of the third day, the three of them went straight to the Shisanhang Wholesale Market in Liwan.
Li Chunli bought spring and summer clothes worth tens of thousands of yuan, as well as various women's shoes. If nothing unexpected happens, the price of these clothes will at least double or triple when they are shipped to Chengdu.
On the last day, Yuan Fangguo and his team went straight to Baishapo to trade with Ahua.
This time they were not limited to buying electronic products such as Walkmans, radios, and electronic watches, but also spent tens of thousands of dollars on color TVs, rice cookers, and refrigerators.
Ah Hua was still honest and trustworthy. More than ten of them spent the whole morning checking about a quarter of the goods. After seeing that there were no defects, both parties paid and received the goods happily.
Before leaving, Yuan Fangguo asked Ahua where he could get a car.
Ah Hua chuckled, "Brother, you've come to the right place. I have several friends who deal in this kind of business. We have the usual Santanas, Volkswagens, Crowns, and Lexuses, as well as the better Mercedes-Benzes, BMWs, and Audis. The prices are definitely one-third cheaper than the market price. When do you need them?"
"Maybe in June or July." Yuan Fangguo said casually.
Ah Hua nodded and then reminded, "Okay, call me a month in advance. Don't call today and ask for it tomorrow. These things need a preparation process."
"Okay," Yuan Fangguo agreed immediately.
After finishing all this, Yuan Fangguo and Zhao Yong did not stop. They filled up their tanks with gas and water at a nearby gas station and set off directly back to Chengdu.
Li Chunli had a flight the next morning, so she found a hotel near the airport to stay in that night.
Both Yuan Fangguo and Zhao Yong were good drivers, so they talked and laughed along the way. If Yuan Fangguo felt sleepy, he would ask Zhao Yong to light a cigarette for him to relieve his fatigue.
At around one o'clock in the morning, the two men left Guangdong Province and the truck entered Hunan Province. If nothing unexpected happened, they would arrive in Chengdu the next morning.
Hunan Province is also a province with diverse terrain. As soon as you enter Hunan Province, you will see endless rolling mountains. After crossing these mountains, there are hills and plains. At the junction of Hunan Province and Bashu, there are mountains again.
During the day, the two of them took a nap near the Public Security Bureau in a county town. Not long after they stopped the car, Yuan Fangguo and Zhao Yong fell asleep quickly. They had been very tired on the journey, and even Zhao Yong's loud snoring did not wake Yuan Fangguo up.
They originally planned to take a nap for an hour or two, but unexpectedly they slept until after five in the afternoon.
The two rubbed their sleepy eyes and couldn't help but smile at each other.
They were feeling a little hungry, so they found a restaurant and ordered four or five greasy meat dishes. They wolfed down several bowls of rice until their stomachs were full.
After paying the bill, Zhao Yong sat inside the restaurant to smoke and rest, while Yuan Fangguo found a convenience store with a phone and called Li Chunli.
Li Chunli had returned to the stationery store at noon. On the phone, Yuan Fangguo briefly told Li Chunli their approximate location and the time of arrival in Chengdu.
Li Chunli reminded him on the phone to be careful and drive slowly, even if it meant coming back a little late.
Yuan Fangguo told Li Chunli with a relaxed look that they would definitely return to Chengdu safely.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yong also left the restaurant. After going to the toilet, the two of them set out on the journey back home again.
After an afternoon of rest, both of them had recovered greatly in spirit and physical strength. On some straight national and provincial roads, Yuan Fangguo even drove the car at 120 mph at one point.
At around eleven o'clock in the evening, they began to enter the border between Hunan and Chongqing. Here, there are also towering mountains, and the continuous mountains are endless. The two-lane provincial road winds around the mountains like a long snake.
"Fang Guo, hurry up here." Zhao Yong said as he took out the machete from under the seat.
"What's wrong?" Upon hearing this reminder, Yuan Fangguo couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
"The people at the border of Hunan and Chongqing are very tough, and there are many highway robberies here." Zhao Yong said with a frown.
Zhao Yong's words seemed to remind Yuan Fangguo all of a sudden. In his impression, the mountain people here were indeed very tough, especially in the 1980s and 1990s. This place was the only way between Hunan and Chongqing, and family-style highway robbery gangs often committed crimes here.
Often after committing a crime, these criminals will overturn the car to the bottom of a mountain valley, creating the illusion that it was a man-made traffic accident.
It is said that this practice continued for several years without being discovered, until one day a lucky guy escaped death, and the police realized that this was an extremely serious case.
It happened to be daytime when Yuan Fangguo and Zhao Yong arrived. They were driving along the mountain road with a convoy of other vehicles, so those habitual criminals did not dare to commit crimes. However, it was already early morning, and there were few cars on the road.
Yuan Fangguo couldn't help but become a little nervous. He even regretted not looking at the map earlier. He should have stopped to rest at the last small town.
He really wanted to turn the car back, but there was no space to do so. On one side of the only two-lane road was a bottomless abyss, and on the other side were towering mountains.
"Brother Yong, why don't we find a place to rest." Yuan Fangguo felt sweat oozing out of his palms.
Zhao Yong nodded without hesitation. "We'd better not go any further. This section is the most dangerous, at least two hundred kilometers long. If there's room to turn around up ahead, let's go back to the town we just came from. If not, let's rest at the gas station or somewhere else up ahead."
"Okay." After saying this, Yuan Fangguo couldn't help but step on the accelerator a little more.
However, there was no room to turn around, and even the residents were nowhere to be seen. The truck beneath them was like riding on the back of a sleeping dragon, and they had no idea when it would wake up.
Not only was Yuan Fangguo nervous, but even Zhao Yong took out his stab-proof suit and even asked Yuan Fangguo to stop the car.
"Brother, put this on." Zhao Yong handed the thick stab-proof suit to Yuan Fangguo.
After taking the stab-proof suit, Yuan Fangguo put it on without hesitation.
The two continued to move forward.
Finally, at one o'clock in the morning, they arrived at a rather remote town.
There was no street light on the street. Using the moonlight, the two parked the car in an open space.
Not long after they stopped the car, several dark shadows approached.
