Wang Peng drove back to the tobacco and liquor store and found a group of people still standing at the entrance.
However, he wasn't a thug; upon closer inspection, he was a shop owner from the neighborhood.
As soon as Wang Peng got out of the car, the bosses immediately surrounded him and started chatting with him.
"Xiao Peng, a few thugs came to your shop and caused trouble, but they were arrested by the police."
“The police also visited my shop, and I told them about their previous dine-and-dash incident, which they recorded.”
"As I said, that street thug in the leather jacket is called Wang Shanhe. He didn't pay me back when he bought my clothes last time."
"That grandson still owes me a hundred yuan, and he hasn't paid me back in two years."
The bosses complained bitterly, but Wang Peng chatted with them with a smile.
Those bastards have been bullying and monopolizing the market for a long time, and they've already incurred public wrath. They're definitely going to get what's coming to them this time.
Du Lei said, "Brother Peng, I almost couldn't hold back just now. Damn it, this is too much."
"You've worked hard." Wang Peng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Doing business requires patience. We have a better solution."
"I know, that's why I didn't fight them," Du Lei said through gritted teeth in anger.
After chatting for a few more minutes, everyone went back to their own shops.
At that moment, a traffic police motorcycle stopped on the side of the road and honked its horn twice.
Wang Peng turned around and saw that it was his uncle, Li Keyong, dressed in a police uniform, looking dashing.
"Uncle," Wang Peng hurriedly walked to the car and said with a smile, "Thank you for helping me with this trouble."
"Don't mention it." Li Keyong waved his hand. "Old Feng from the Public Security Bureau is holding a third anniversary celebration for his father and wants to get some cigarettes and alcohol from you."
“No problem at all, shall we go to the store to talk?” Wang Peng said.
"Go to the car." Li Keyong shook his head, took off his helmet, and hung it on the motorcycle.
Wang Peng hurriedly opened the Santana car door, and the father and son sat in the front seat talking.
"Old Feng means to offer the best possible price, but you have to remember that a discount doesn't mean you won't make any money."
Li Keyong said, "You're in business, and no matter who the customer is, you have to make money."
That makes sense, and Wang Peng nodded in agreement.
Li Keyong added, "Most importantly, it must be real eyes and real wine, because it's a matter of his face."
"Last time, a police chief was having a wedding, and a shady store sold him counterfeit alcohol."
"The leader's friends are all experts in drinking; they can tell the fake liquor from the first sip."
“It was incredibly embarrassing. The leaders were furious and started cursing. The Industry and Commerce Bureau immediately arranged a one-stop service for the unscrupulous boss, including investigation, fines, and closure,” Li Keyong added.
Wang Peng couldn't help but laugh out loud. That unlucky boss was really greedy and would cheat anyone.
"Uncle, don't worry, I will never sell fake cigarettes or alcohol in my life. I will win the world with integrity."
Li Keyong patted him on the shoulder, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and said, "Give me a price, and I'll go back and report."
The note read: "Huaqun in yellow soft packaging, Zhenghe Daqu in white porcelain bottle."
Wang Peng immediately recalled the price: Huang Huaqun's purchase price was 32 yuan per piece, and the retail price was 40 yuan.
White porcelain Zhenghe Daqu liquor, a box of six bottles, has a purchase price of 48 yuan and a retail price of 66 yuan.
The other party wants twenty cartons of Huanghuaqun liquor and twenty cases of Zhenghe Daqu liquor.
Wang Peng thought for a moment and said, "Huang Huaqun is thirty-eight yuan, Zhenghe Daqu is sixty yuan, and you can return any unused portions."
“If you write it on a note, I’m worried I’ll forget it later,” Li Keyong said.
Wang Peng picked up a pen and wrote the unit price on the slip of paper, then handed it to him.
Li Keyong looked at the unit price, scratched his head, and said, "Isn't it too cheap? I heard that the profit margin for tobacco and alcohol is quite low."
"The profit margin on cigarettes is low, but that's okay for liquor," Wang Peng said. "Let's just leave it at that; there's still money to be made."
"Okay, I'll go get a quote from him after get off work."
Li Keyong put the note in his pocket and said, "Mingzhu called me just now. Did you want to use my landline?"
Wang Peng was taken aback and quickly shook his head, "This was Mingzhu's suggestion, I didn't mean it that way."
"Use it, you can use it. I'll have the post office move the telephone line tomorrow."
Li Keyong patted him on the shoulder and suddenly became earnest.
"Xiaopeng, I admit that Mingzhu is an ordinary girl, with average height and average looks."
"But her heart belongs to you. You were the one who started your relationship, and I hope you will see it through to the end."
“My older brother only has this one daughter, and I only have this one niece. You can’t bully her.”
These words were a bit harsh, and Li Keyong's expression turned serious.
Wang Peng immediately became serious and said, "Uncle, I just like her ordinariness. Everyone lives an ordinary life."
The two looked at each other, neither of them speaking.
After a long while, Li Keyong patted him on the shoulder.
"I'm relieved to hear you say that. You can rest assured too. Contact me if you need anything in the future."
After saying that, Li Keyong got out of the car with a smile and rode away on his motorcycle.
Wang Peng returned to the store and prepared the goods according to the list, only to find that he was still short five Huang Huaqun packs.
"Brother Lei, we might get a big order."
Wang Peng said, "Twenty cartons of Huanghuaqun liquor and twenty cases of Zhenghe Daqu liquor will bring the total profit to three hundred and sixty yuan."
"Goodness, three hundred and sixty yuan?"
Du Lei jumped up, his eyes wide, "Great news! This is great news!"
Wang Peng smiled and nodded, "I still need five cartons of cigarettes. I'll go to the tobacco bureau to pick them up."
At 5 p.m., Li Keyong arrived at the College District Public Security Bureau and handed the quotation slip to Feng Dali.
“Sure,” Feng Dali nodded. “Give Xiaopeng my home address and have him deliver the goods to me.”
Li Keyong nodded hurriedly and smiled, "Brother Dali, how are those thugs doing?"
"They all confessed and admitted to their crimes without reservation. They have all been criminally detained."
Feng Dali sneered, "They bully and monopolize the market, committing numerous evils. This time, we must eradicate them completely."
"Good! These bastards deserved to die long ago!"
Li Keyong gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Dali, where's the landlord who hired them to do evil?"
“It’s also criminal detention; his actions are suspected of constituting a crime,” Feng Dali said.
This was exactly the result Li Keyong wanted, and he was overjoyed.
“Brother Dali, do you want to come with me to the tobacco and liquor store? Wang Peng has a Santana worth over 200,000 yuan.”
Feng Dali was taken aback and said, "I won't go. You can have him deliver the goods to me."
After chatting for a few more minutes, Li Keyong rode his motorcycle to Wang Peng's tobacco and liquor store.
"Xiao Peng, it's done. Come with me to deliver the goods," he said.
Wang Peng nodded and hurriedly opened the trunk of the Santana. The three of them then unloaded the cigarettes and alcohol together.
Twenty cartons of cigarettes were placed in the trunk, and twenty cases of liquor filled the car.
"Brother Lei, do you want to come with me?" Wang Peng asked.
Du Lei immediately shook his head, "I often have people come to buy cigarettes at night. I'm open for business until 11 p.m. every day."
"That won't do," Wang Peng said. "You can't stay up so late; it's bad for your health."
"It's alright, I'm young now," Du Lei laughed. "Brother Peng, you go and deliver the goods with your uncle, don't worry about me."
