He explained his idea, and Lu Zhiye's fingers tightened. He hadn't expected Tengchong's idea to be so big, even more audacious than he had imagined!
"Comrade Lu, what do you think?"
If I take over all the nearby cities, can I then march on Beijing?
Tengchong made a special detour to Beijing just to see how many clothing stores there are in Beijing!
To his surprise, there were only two slightly larger clothing factory stores in Beijing.
One of them hasn't even opened yet!
The rest were mostly tailor shops, small stores run by old tailors!
This was somewhat different from his understanding, so he only stayed for a day before boarding a train and heading directly to Zhejiang Province.
What Tengchong didn't know was that all those second-generation rich kids from Beijing were choosing to flee south!
After all, those places in the south are special economic zones, and their development opportunities are far greater than those in Beijing.
The older generation already has their own jobs, so they certainly wouldn't give up a stable job to open a shop!
Even prominent family members wouldn't allow their relatives to get involved in this matter before the policies were fully stabilized!
This has resulted in larger clothing stores in Beijing being unable to open at all.
Some of them are just small shops!
Lu Zhiye believes that within two years at most, a large number of small, individually owned shops will emerge in Beijing!
Seeing Lu Zhiye lost in thought, Tengchong pursed his lips, thinking that Lu Zhiye felt his ideas were too radical.
He picked at his fingernails, then asked in a low voice, "Comrade Lu, judging from your demeanor, your family used to be in business, right?"
Do you have any concrete suggestions regarding my idea?
Lu Zhiye rested his chin on his hand and spoke slowly and deliberately: "What substantial opinions could I possibly have?"
But I think it's good that young people have drive; you can definitely succeed!
Tengchong's eyes lit up: "I think so too. By the way, what are you going to do at the garment factory?"
"I'm going over there to look at some fabrics!"
Lu Zhiye did not reveal his purpose, but instead gave a few perfunctory replies!
Just as Tengchong was about to say something, the train slowly came to a stop, and another large group of people boarded!
A fat man with big ears, carrying a satchel, walked up to their bunk!
The man tossed his backpack onto the middle bunk and then sat down on the bed in Tengchong without any ceremony!
Tengchong instinctively clutched his purse tighter, looking at the man with some displeasure!
The man ignored his gaze, continued to slip on his shoes, and then pushed himself up onto the middle bunk!
Although Tengchong was somewhat dissatisfied, he thought about it and realized that it was understandable.
Then, the conversation between Tengchong and Lu Zhiye became a little shorter.
The man in the middle bunk pricked up his ears, listening to their conversation. He grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth, and leaned out to ask Tengchong, "Young man, what's your name?"
Tengchong subconsciously looked up, frowned, and replied, "Tengchong!"
The man lay sprawled on the middle bunk, his face all friendly as he said, "I'm also planning to check out the factories in Zhejiang Province, young man. Interested? Let's team up!"
I heard from others that many factories in Zhejiang Province are hostile to outsiders!
Besides, they speak a very garbled language that we can't understand.
Having more people means having more helpers. I'll help you check it out, and you can help me check it out too!
Tengchong felt that what the man said made some sense, and he subconsciously looked at Lu Zhiye, wanting to ask for his opinion.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhiye lay down on the bed with his back to him, clearly not wanting to get involved!
Tengchong forced a smile: "Brother, let's see when we get there. I know someone there, and he even offered to show me the way!"
The man was somewhat disappointed, then lay back down on the bed.
That evening, Lu Zhiye bought two boxed meals and handed them to Tengchong as a return gift for the lunch boxes he had eaten at noon!
Before long, it was dark, and the lights in the carriage were turned off. Tengchong pressed the entire bag under his pillow, grabbed the bag's bag with one hand, and fell into a deep sleep!
Suddenly, in the middle of the night, a man roared, "Who are you? What are you doing standing in front of our bed?"
"Help! Catch the thief!"
The shout woke everyone in the carriage, and they quickly went to check their belongings!
He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that none of the money in his bag was missing!
Tengchong was startled and sat up abruptly, while Lu Zhiye didn't care. His important items were all in his spatial storage, and the large bag he had on display was just full of clothes, with nothing of value.
Tengchong sat up straight and only then did he realize that a dark figure had darted out from beside his bed!
Her other bag containing clothes had been opened, and the man on the upper bunk was standing by her bed, gripping the bag tightly, while his other hand was holding a dark figure!
He anxiously said to Tengchong, "Brother Teng, quickly check if anything is missing from your bag?"
I just got up to use the restroom, and when I came back I saw this person going through your bag!
The burly man shouted as he threw the package into Tengchong's arms.
Because of this movement, he weakened the strength of his other hand, and the dark figure took the opportunity to break free of his restraints and disappear in a flash.
The flight attendant rushed over with a flashlight: "What happened? What happened?"
"A thief has appeared! Oh dear, my bag has been slashed with a huge hole, damn it!"
"Luckily, I didn't lose anything!"
Those who were talking were mostly from the lower bunks, since their bags were the easiest to steal!
The big man wiped the sweat from his forehead and recounted what he had seen!
The flight attendant quickly went to find the train police. There was a dining hall between their sleeper berths and hard seats. How did this person get here?
To be honest, the flight attendants didn't really believe that someone in a sleeper berth was stealing!
After all, in this day and age, a sleeper ticket is so expensive that you need connections to buy one!
If you had that ability, who would still be a thief?
Therefore, the flight attendant speculated that he must have slipped over from the restaurant side when no one was paying attention!
This could be a serious problem. What if he stole something from the passengers in the hard-seat section?
This involves a wide range of issues, and the railway police will definitely need to investigate it thoroughly!
After the train attendant left, everyone in the carriage couldn't sleep and sat together, chattering away!
Tengchong was filled with gratitude. The big man plopped down on his bed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with great regret, "If I had used a little more force just now, this person wouldn't have been able to escape!"
The more he said this, the more grateful Tengchong felt: "Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I would definitely have lost this bag!"
So there wasn't much money in there, but the clothes were new!
In order not to be looked down upon by others, he specially went to the department store to buy a suit!
If we lose this, we'll be at a huge loss!
