Chapter 551 This... is too expensive?
Song Jinzhang's mother is an accountant at a fertilizer factory, and her father is a manager at a department store. They are a dual-income family, and the daughter is an only child. It can be seen how good Song Jinzhang's life was before.
Unfortunately, ever since her mother died of illness the year before last, her father started looking for a new wife. However, Song Jinzhang was spoiled as a child, so naturally she refused to agree, thus ruining the plan that her father had just begun to plan.
It was not until this year when the woman outside announced that she was pregnant that Manager Song married her despite Song Jinzhang's opposition.
On one side is his darling daughter, and on the other side is his young wife who is pregnant with a son. Manager Song did not hesitate and soon stood completely on the side of his young wife and no longer tolerated Song Jinzhang's troublemaking.
In a two-on-one situation, Song Jinzhang naturally lost, so she asked Manager Song for some resettlement money and decided to move out.
Under pressure from his ex-wife's family, Manager Song reluctantly gave 1,800 yuan as settling-in fee and said that he would not give Song Jinzhang any more dowry in the future.
And these eighteen thousand yuan, together with the one thousand yuan her mother left her privately before her death, were the capital for her business.
Twenty eight hundred dollars may sound like a lot, but if you want to do business, it is far from enough.
Going out to purchase goods requires travel expenses and payment for the goods, and coming back to sell the goods also requires a storefront or a stall.
Fortunately, Song Jinzhang still had the jewelry left to her by her mother. After selling them, she raised more than a thousand yuan.
Early that morning, she brought all her belongings and waited at the transportation company.
Xiao Jinfeng's cousin Liu Jiahui was also here to accompany him. The two girls were of the same age and were classmates in elementary and junior high school. Unfortunately, when it came time for the next exam, Song Jinzhang's mother fell ill, which affected Song Jinzhang's studies. In the end, he did not get into the technical secondary school or go to high school.
The two little girls didn't have to wait too long, and soon Gao Mingcheng came over.
Liu Jiahui had seen Gao Mingcheng before. From a distance, she pointed at Gao Mingcheng and said to Song Jinzhang, "He's here! It's him!"
Song Jinzhang hurriedly looked in the direction Liu Jiahui pointed and saw a young man walking towards them. The man seemed to be in his early twenties and was very good-looking, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. His facial features were very three-dimensional. He was the kind of handsome guy that was popular at the moment.
Gao Mingcheng walked over, carrying a luggage bag and a military coat.
It is very necessary to bring a military coat with you when going out in winter. If you can't find a hotel to stay in at night, you will have to sleep in the car for a while.
Military coats can be worn and used as blankets, which is very practical.
When Song Jinzhang looked at Gao Mingcheng, Gao Mingcheng naturally saw her as well. The 19-year-old girl looked pretty, but lacked a bit of vigor and had a bit more resentment.
Gao Mingcheng didn't know whether Song Jinzhang had done business in his previous life, or whether he was successful or failed. According to the gossip he heard, Song Jinzhang lost the fight with her stepmother, and later married far away and never came back.
Xiao Jinfeng also came over and acted as an introducer for the two parties. After they met each other, Xiao Jinfeng led the two to a Jiefang brand truck.
"The car has been checked in advance and there is nothing wrong with it. Mingcheng, you should take better care of the girl when you are on the road." Xiao Jinfeng reminded him, and his cousin Liu Jiahui took her hand away from his flesh.
This little tigress!
Xiao Jinfeng grumbled in his heart, his face full of helplessness.
Gao Mingcheng noticed the little tricks between the siblings, smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely take care of it. Song Jinzhang, can you get in the car by yourself?"
The truck is a bit high, and it is difficult for people who have never been there to climb up smoothly.
But Song Jinzhang is a woman, and Gao Mingcheng couldn't carry her into the car.
Fortunately, Song Jinzhang had a very stubborn temper and after a lot of effort, he finally climbed into the car by himself.
Gao Mingcheng simply checked the condition of the car, then reached out and pulled, and pushed, and sat in the driver's seat smoothly. He closed the door, waved goodbye to Xiao Jinfeng and Liu Jiahui under the car, and said, "I won't waste any more time, I'm leaving first!"
"Okay, take care and have a safe journey." Xiao Jinfeng also waved and said.
Liu Jiahui said goodbye to Song Jinzhang: "Jinzhang, have a safe journey!"
Song Jinzhang stuck her head out of the car window, looked at Liu Jiahui, her eyes slightly red, and said, "Jiahui, goodbye!"
The word "goodbye" was blown long by the wind.
After the sound completely died down, the truck headed back down the road.
After driving the car onto the road, Gao Mingcheng and Song Jinzhang were the only two people left in the car.
Gao Mingcheng said, "Don't worry, I drive very steadily. If you want to get off the car, just say it directly. Don't hold it in. This is not something that cannot be said."
Taking a person on the road naturally brings a lot of troubles, especially taking a woman on the road, then there are even more troubles. However, Gao Mingcheng is used to saying it in advance to avoid awkwardness when getting along with each other.
Song Jinzhang was proud of her good looks, and many male classmates liked her when she was in school. Later, some of them tried to date her, but unfortunately she was not interested in dating at all, so she remained single.
But she also had some understanding of men. In the few short minutes she spent with Gao Mingcheng, she could tell that he was an upright man, because from beginning to end, Gao Mingcheng looked at her with clear eyes and his gaze did not deliberately linger on her.
This gave her a sense of security.
Hearing Gao Mingcheng's words, she nodded softly, and then didn't know how to start talking, so she simply turned her head and looked out the window.
Outside the window, the scenery kept receding.
And this truck will take her to places she has never been before.
Her father is the manager of a department store and her mother is an accountant at a fertilizer factory. Influenced by their father and mother, Song Jinzhang felt that she should also be able to do business and do accounting.
So after leaving home, she decided to start a business.
She wanted to make a lot of money, more than her father! She wanted her father to know that he would lose a lot if he didn't have her as his daughter!
With a passion in his heart, Song Jinzhang found some connections and got on a bus to Guangzhou.
Fortunately, she is lucky.
Gao Mingcheng is indeed an upright person and is capable of handling any troubles he encounters on the road, especially since he doesn't smoke!
At first, Song Jinzhang thought that Gao Mingcheng didn't smoke because he was thinking about her, and he couldn't help feeling secretly happy.
In her opinion, most men like to smoke. Whenever everyone gets together during festivals or New Year's Day, men always play cards and smoke at the same time, making the whole house full of smoke.
Most women don't like smoking, and they don't like the smell of smoke.
The next afternoon, the car finally arrived in Guangzhou safely.
This truckload of goods did not belong to Fan Chengyao. Gao Mingcheng took it directly to a farmer's market, where someone was responsible for signing for the goods and paying for them.
This truckload of spices will be sold at the farmer's market in the future, and Gao Mingcheng also needs to take back a small truckload of salted fish and kelp from the farmer's market.
After careful calculation, in addition to the electrical appliances and goods that Gao Mingcheng wanted to transport, and the goods that Song Jinzhang wanted to transport, there was still a small amount of empty space. In order to avoid waste, they naturally took some goods back as appropriate.
While waiting for the workers to unload the goods, Gao Mingcheng simply bought some ingredients that are not available in the mainland at the market here.
For example, kelp, cuttlefish, mussels, etc., because he was helping Xiao Jinfeng to purchase goods, the things he bought piecemeal were also calculated according to the purchase price, so when he made the purchase, he asked Song Jinzhang whether he wanted to buy it.
Song Jinzhang looked at everything in front of her and found it very novel. She wanted to buy it, but reason made her shake her head.
She doesn't have much money in her pocket, so she has to spend it frugally!
She watched Gao Mingcheng shopping casually and felt extremely envious.
It’s okay, Song Jinzhang, after you make money from business, you can also shop and buy!
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived. It took an hour to unload the cargo, and by five o'clock it was getting dark.
Gao Mingcheng said to Song Jinzhang, "It's late today. Let's find a place to eat first, and then have a good night's rest. I will take you to the wholesale market tomorrow morning."
Song Jinzhang was not an ungrateful person, so he followed Gao Mingcheng's advice.
Gao Mingcheng originally asked her if she wanted to go with him to the garment factory to get the goods directly, but Song Jinzhang refused.
Because their market positioning is different.
Gao Mingcheng takes the mid-to-high-end route. The goods he imports from Yangcheng are all of high quality and novel styles.
This kind of goods is naturally sought after by wealthy people, but for Song Jinzhang who has limited capital, this is not a good choice.
So after doing her homework, she decided to purchase goods at the wholesale market herself. She wanted to choose some clothes that were affordable and suitable for ordinary female workers to buy. With her capital, she could buy these clothes.
In addition to clothes, she also plans to import some accessories to sell. These things are also very popular among girls.
She is a girl herself, so she naturally knows what people of her age like.
So that night, the two of them first found a restaurant to eat, and then stayed in a hotel. Naturally, they each had a room.
The next morning, Gao Mingcheng first sent Song Jinzhang to a nearby wholesale market, then went to the clothing factory he had been cooperating with to get goods, and finally found Fan Chengyao and took away a small-scale color TV and washing machine from his warehouse.
Fan Chengyao hadn't seen Gao Mingcheng for a while and wanted to chat with him, so he invited him to have lunch together.
Gao Mingcheng naturally had no objection, but he also explained that he had a companion.
Fan Chengyao said, "It's okay, it's just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks! I'll treat you to Cantonese food today. There's a restaurant that makes really good Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and white-cut chicken. I ate them last time and I want to eat them again this time."
There is a saying in Guangzhou that no feast is complete without chicken. We eat a lot of chicken every year, and most of the chicken farms from other places sell their chickens here.
But to be honest, the chicken here does taste good.
Gao Mingcheng looked at his watch and said, "Okay, I'll go pick someone up first and then go directly to the hotel."
Fan Chengyao smiled and said, "Okay."
After the two sides said goodbye, Gao Mingcheng drove to the wholesale market to pick up Song Jinzhang.
Song Jinzhang was already standing at the place they had agreed on. Beside her were four woven bags, each of which was filled to the brim.
People came and went around her, some ignored her, some looked at her, and some approached her deliberately, teasing her with vulgar words.
Song Jinzhang straightened his back and looked back sharply. As long as she was not timid, the other party might not take the next move.
Because it is human nature to fear the strong bullying the weak.
"Oh, you little girl, you definitely can't carry so many things, right? It's okay, I'll help you!" A familiar voice sounded, and after the person finished speaking, he reached out to take the things.
Song Jinzhang got anxious, and he hit the man's hand, screaming, "Don't touch my things!"
"Hehe, brother is kind enough to help you get it, but you don't want it! Little sister, if I take a bag of your things, do you dare to chase me?" The man was beaten but still had a playful smile on his face.
The bags were all zipped up and he had no idea what was inside. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up a bag and prepared to run.
This kind of blatant robbery is not uncommon in the market.
For someone like Song Jinzhang who is alone and has so many goods, if you snatch one bag, she won't be able to catch you at all!
If she were to chase her, she might not be able to catch up, and once she left, the remaining bags would be taken away by others!
So in order to avoid losing all of them, I could only watch as someone took away a bag.
Song Jinzhang was extremely anxious. She instinctively wanted to chase after him, but she was afraid that the remaining goods would also be taken away. She was really in a dilemma.
Just then, Gao Mingcheng arrived.
As soon as he stopped the car, he quickly jumped out and ran towards the man.
Gao Mingcheng ran like a gust of wind and caught up with the man in the blink of an eye. He reached out and pulled the man's arm, only to hear a click, and the entire arm was dislocated.
"Ah!" The man screamed in pain and couldn't hold the bag in his other hand steadily.
Gao Mingcheng took the bag and kicked the man again.
As for more lessons, there are none, because he is not a local tyrant, but a dragon from another river. After taking the things back, he will leave. There is no need to do the subsequent things.
He took Song Jinzhang's things back, glanced at the goods around Song Jinzhang, and didn't say much, but just helped move the goods into the carriage.
Song Jinzhang's face flushed, and he looked at Gao Mingcheng excitedly, thanking him repeatedly: "Brother Gao, thank you."
If Gao Mingcheng had not arrived in time, Song Jinzhang would have suffered heavy bleeding.
Gao Mingcheng said: "There are all kinds of people here. If you are buying goods alone, you must pay attention to your wallet and goods. In addition to these thieves, some merchants will also bully outsiders. The samples they show you are good, but the goods they pack for you may not be good."
Gao Mingcheng has encountered this situation many times. Some people find that the goods at a stall are good and cheap, and then they prepare to buy dozens or hundreds of pieces. The other party will also take out the goods and put them into bags in front of you, but the goods are tied with ropes, ten pieces in a bundle.
If you don't look carefully, then when you get home and open the box, you will find that the goods are not what you ordered!
Either the fabric is not as good as the sample, or there are other problems. In short, you lose money!
The round trip is a long journey and the fare is not small. Even if you bring the defective products back to ask for an explanation, the stall may have been run by someone else. Even if it hasn't been run by someone else, they will still deny their responsibility.
This kind of thing happens frequently in wholesale markets with huge flow of people.
After hearing this, Song Jinzhang recalled nervously for a moment, then said, "The goods I bought have all passed through my hands, so there should be no problem."
Gao Mingcheng just said that, and Song Jinzhang said it was no problem, so he didn't say anything more.
Next, he drove to the restaurant where he had an appointment with Fan Chengyao.
The truck stopped near the hotel. At the entrance of the hotel, there were many Santanas parked. These are luxury cars!
After getting off the car, Song Jinzhang came to the entrance of the hotel and couldn't help but be amazed at the magnificent hotel.
Her family conditions are pretty good, and she is better off than most of her peers in the county!
Unfortunately, after arriving in Guangzhou, she realized that her vision was narrow and the world she had seen was not broad enough.
She stopped and stammered, "Brother Gao... shall we go eat here? This... is too expensive, right?"
I would like to recommend a book to you, my old friend Liu Yue Haoxue’s new book “Rebirth 1983: Starting from Taking Back the Family Property”
Introduction: Traveling back to 1983, Lu Jiaxin's starting point is that her original husband failed the college entrance examination and was abducted, her stepmother is sweet on the outside but evil on the inside, and her biological father is a pure egoist.
Designer Lu, who started from hell, decided: if her stepmother is the first day of the month, she will be the fifteenth! If her biological father is not a good person, she will teach him how to be a good person!
She had to continue her university studies. She heard that the University of Hong Kong in the 1980s was quite prestigious, so she waved her sleeves and ventured into the Hong Kong financial circle.
Mobile phone, beeping machine, and the jingle on the dance floor!
The Peak, Repulse Bay, Victorian tycoon!
——
Just look at the title and introduction, it's a thoroughly enjoyable novel. Although it's a novel with a female lead, those who like it can go and have a look. This is a ten-year-old author, a great female writer, and a long novel with more than five million words...
I have been writing books for many years, but I don’t even have a book worth 2 million. I’m facing the wall and thinking about my mistakes o(╥﹏╥)o
