After an unknown amount of time, the "Da Fei" finally approached the inland dock.
Zhao Xiaohai dragged his exhausted body off the boat, his legs were weak and he could hardly stand.
He turned around and glared at the captain, his eyes full of anger and disdain.
The place where the captain docked the boat was a small island. There were many such sand islands on the Pearl River, but a lot of people gathered here, forming a market.
black market.
When I came to Guangdong, I planned to find the black market, but I didn’t expect to find the place like this.
Fate is so fickle.
Zhao Xiaohai was exhausted both physically and mentally, but he saw an unexpected scene near the dock.
The captain of the ship was directing several of his men to move boxes of goods into a store.
Out of curiosity, Zhao Xiaohai walked closer and found that the store was filled with all kinds of goods shipped from Hong Kong, including exquisite electronic watches, fashionable clothes, brand new home appliances, and so on.
He instantly understood that this was a business run privately by the ship captain.
Zhao Xiaohai was originally full of resentment towards the captain, but at this moment an idea flashed through his mind like a spark.
My space has not been used yet, but now it has a place to be used.
He came up with a plan and walked straight towards the captain who was busy directing the unloading.
"Captain, this business is booming."
Zhao Xiaohai spoke with a smile, trying to make his tone sound friendly.
When the captain saw Zhao Xiaohai, he was stunned at first, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
But when he heard that Zhao Xiaohai didn't seem to have any intention of blaming him, and that his words showed some concern for his business, he quickly adjusted his expression, changing his indifference on the road to a warm smile on his face.
"Oh, Mr. Zhao, it's just a small business, just making a living. Why haven't you left yet?"
Zhao Xiaohai responded calmly.
"I was about to leave, but when I saw you, Captain, had so many good things, I suddenly couldn't move on.
I was thinking, could I buy some goods from you and trade them in the mainland? Maybe I could make a little money."
When the captain heard this, his eyes immediately lit up and he was thinking about the profits that the business could bring.
"Mr. Zhao, that's a coincidence! If you're thinking of doing that, we can discuss it. The goods I have here are all the most fashionable in Hong Kong, and they're sure to sell well in mainland China."
Seeing the captain's sudden change of attitude due to his greed for money, Zhao Xiaohai was secretly delighted.
He keenly realized that the fact that the captain dared to run such a business privately without Lin Zhengxiong's knowledge showed that Lin Zhengxiong's control over his subordinates was declining.
The subordinates who seemed loyal on weekdays now began to make their own plans and were secretly disobeying Lin Zhengxiong.
While Zhao Xiaohai was bargaining with the captain, he was thinking about the changes within the Lin family reflected behind this.
Lin Zhengxiong may be facing many problems in Hong Kong, which is why his subordinates are so bold and presumptuous.
And for him, this might be an opportunity to get rid of the entanglement with the Lin family and even to fight back.
Zhao Xiaohai walked a few steps and found that this was a fishing village. The fishing village was not big and only had one main street.
There are stalls at the door of some stores, with goods on them, including electronic watches, umbrellas, sunglasses, video recorders, cameras... everything.
There are even bicycles and motorcycles parked at the door.
The boat owner said, "Anything displayed at the door means they have it. You can go in and buy from the owner, but there is a rule: once you buy something, you can't return it. You pay, take the item and leave. You can't buy it from one store and then come back to return it because you saw a bargain there."
Zhao Xiaohai understood that this fishing village purchased a lot of goods from the captain, so the captain was so generous and said that in addition to his own shop, he could also look at other people's shops.
Zhao Xiaohai decided to take a look first. Whether he could buy cheaper goods depends on his own ability.
I kind of regret that I acted on impulse and didn't purchase the goods from Hong Kong.
"The boat returns to Guangzhou at noon. Keep an eye on the time. There are restaurants on the island but no hotels. If you miss the boat, you'll have to sleep on the street."
After the captain finished speaking, he arranged for his men to continue unloading the cargo.
Zhao Xiaohai walked to a stall selling electronic watches. He was most familiar with electronic watches and planned to compare the prices here with those in Qizhou. After the comparison, he would know whether he was being ripped off here.
He picked up a watch and asked, "Boss, how much is this watch?"
"10 yuan."
"What about bulk purchases?"
"How many?"
"1,000."
"Then I can reduce it to 6 yuan for you."
Zhao Xiaohai now had a clear idea in his mind. Things here were indeed cheaper than those in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but he didn't plan to spend money on buying an electronic watch.
