Lin Jianshe understood that making big money depends not only on courage but also on timing. If you catch a good opportunity, you can naturally eat meat. If you miss it, you can only drink clear soup.
Scarcity makes things valuable. The electronic watches sold at the Friendship Store are so expensive because they are rare, so you have to buy them with tickets.
As time goes by, more and more electronic watches will enter the black market in Beijing, and the selling price on the black market will naturally drop. He must not miss this opportunity.
"Jiannan, I want a hundred yuan electronic watch!" Lin Jianshe shouted.
Hao Jiannan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Your old classmate, since you asked for a hundred yuan, I will definitely give it to you at the risk of offending you."
The two men in flowered shirts were not happy, "Boss Hao, how could you do this? We had already agreed on this."
"Well, why don't you just give him a twenty-dollar electronic watch as he asked for."
Hao Jiannan: "Hey, you two, I've already said that Jianshe is my old classmate and I'm your good brother. I promised him that I would help him get rich together. Just give me some face and let me give him the electronic watch worth 100 yuan!"
"Next time I go back to Beijing, I'll get a batch of radios and give you some more, okay?"
"Okay, okay, okay. Just consider it as a favor to you, Boss Hao." The man in the flowered shirt looked reluctant.
"Thank you." Hao Jiannan bowed to the two of them.
"Jianshe, a hundred-dollar watch costs one thousand five hundred yuan. Do you have enough money?" Hao Jiannan looked at Lin Jianshe and asked.
The latter shook his head and said in a negotiating tone: "Jiannan, how about this? I'll give you 300 yuan first as a deposit, and you give me the watch worth 100 yuan. After you sell the watch, I'll give you the balance of 1,200 yuan."
The corners of Hao Jiannan's eyes twitched. No, did Lin Jianshe really think of them as good brothers?
He actually thought he could give him goods worth twelve thousand on credit!
"No, this business is inherently risky. If you are asked to buy on credit and pay the balance after the goods are sold, then won't all the risks fall on you alone?"
"Besides, after this batch of goods is sold, you won't be back in Beijing for three months. Wouldn't it take three months for the balance to reach you? This time is too long."
Lin Jianshe: "Hey Jiannan, you still don't trust me?"
Hao Jiannan waved his hand. "It's not a question of whether you can trust it or not. The rule here is that the payment for the goods must be paid in full at one time. The goods are delivered at the same time as the payment. No matter who comes, it cannot be changed."
"If the rules are broken, how can we continue this business? Three months is not a short time! Otherwise, let's just forget it."
"You go first, and get the goods from them. We'll meet again when we have another chance."
Hao Jiannan issued an order to expel the guests.
Lin Jianshe: “Jiannan…”
The man in the flowered shirt B looked at Lin Jianshe with disdain, "Okay, brother, hurry up and leave, so as not to delay us from getting the goods."
"Boss Hao, you guys have enough money, just pay it all at once, unlike some poor guys who want to get rich by buying goods on credit and doing business without capital."
"Who are you calling a poor bastard?" Lin Jianshe felt insulted and veins popped out on his forehead.
What he hated most was being looked down upon.
Flowered Shirt Armor: "Do you even need to ask?"
"You guys..." Lin Jianshe wanted to take action, but Hao Jiannan quickly stopped him and said to the other two with a stern face: "Brother Jianshe, don't say that about him. If you say that again, I won't give this thing to you."
Lin Jianshe looked at Hao Jiannan with a touched face. He thought his brother was really too loyal.
He regretted a little that when he was in school, he pulled down his pants when the teacher called him to answer a question.
When they were in school, Lin Jianshe sat in the back seat behind Hao Jiannan. He was very naughty at that time and often played tricks on Hao Jiannan.
Besides calling him "Big Nose", they also put a turtle on his back and pushed his stool open with their feet when he wanted to sit down.
The most serious incident was when the teacher called him to answer a question and pulled down his pants, revealing his ripped briefs. The whole class burst into laughter and he ran out of the classroom crying.
Because of this incident, Hao Jiannan missed a week of school. His parents were called in, he was scolded, and was punished to clean the classroom for a week.
Thinking about it now, Lin Jianshe felt that he was too muddleheaded and naughty when he was in school, but fortunately Jiannan was broad-minded and didn't take it to heart.
The two men touched their noses awkwardly and stopped talking about Lin Jianshe.
Hao Jiannan patted Lin Jianshe's shoulder and said, "Okay, Jianshe, don't take their words to heart. Go back first. We'll get together again when we meet in Beijing next time. I'll take you and sister-in-law to Lao Mo for Western food then."
Lin Jianshe didn't want to leave. He didn't want to miss this opportunity to make money, but he couldn't come up with 1,500 yuan.
"Jiannan, can you hold the goods for two days? Just two days. Once I have collected the money, I will come to you to get the goods. It will cost one hundred yuan!"
Hao Jiannan scratched his head in embarrassment, and after struggling for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you until seven o'clock tomorrow night."
Lin Jianshe turned around and was about to leave to collect money, but Hao Jiannan stopped him.
"What's wrong?"
Hao Jiannan turned around and took out a long walnut box from his purse. "This is the jade pendant that I bought for my mother in Nanjing. She didn't like jade and asked me to buy her a gold bracelet. I can't wear it myself, so you can take it back and give it to my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law has fair skin and jade looks good on her."
Lin Jianshe took it with a look of surprise, opened the box, and inside was a magnolia jade pendant with a white background and green flowers.
"This, this is too expensive, how can I afford this?" Lin Jianshe was speechless.
The material of this jade seems quite transparent. It is worth at least one hundred yuan. Jiannan gave me a pendant worth one hundred yuan as a gift. This is really generous.
Hao Jiannan waved his hands and said, "It's not worth much, why should I be embarrassed? Anyway, it will take up space in my bag if I keep it, so I might as well give it to my sister-in-law to wear."
Lin Jianshe looked at Hao Jiannan with envy. What? He is now a millionaire, so a jade pendant worth a hundred yuan is nothing.
Lin Jianshe left, Hao Jiannan closed the door, and laughed with the two men in flowered shirts, covering their mouths.
Armored Man in Flowered Shirt: "I originally wanted your old classmate to take over this batch of goods by himself, but I didn't expect him to be so poor that he has to scrape together fifteen hundred yuan."
Hao Jiannan frowned, "I didn't expect that. I thought he could get more money from his family. His wife is very cautious. If she lets him get more goods, it will definitely be exposed."
"Hey, in order to scare his wife, he even threw in a jade necklace."
If I don't give Lin Jianshe's wife some sweet treats, how can she help Lin Jianshe to raise money? Maybe I will even have to persuade Lin Jianshe.
"What emerald? It's just a piece of broken glass."
"That's right, haha, that idiot Lin Jianshe actually took it seriously, what a huge advantage he got for himself."
Hao Jiannan sneered, "If you don't let the fish feel that they have taken advantage, how can they bite the hook?"
Lin Jianshe hurriedly left the hotel and went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative where Liu Qin worked.
The supply and marketing cooperative was not busy, so Lin Jianshe waved his hand, and Liu Qin said something to her colleagues and went out directly.
"How is it? Did you get the goods?" Liu Qin asked.
Lin Jianshe shook his head, "Not yet, but I have something to give you."
"What?" Liu Qin looked curious.
Lin Jianshe took out the box containing the pendant from his pocket. Liu Qin knew it was jewelry at first glance, "Where did this come from?"
"Jiannan gave it to you. He originally sold it to his mother, but she didn't like it. She put it in her bag and it took up space, so she asked him to give it to you."
