Yi Qingqing listened and thought that this time was just right to close.
Her plan today was to go to the state-owned store to watch the TV lottery, and also to observe the textile factory buyer and think of ways to sell the products.
There is only one TV set, and the lottery will only take a moment.
So it actually doesn’t take much time, one morning is enough.
So he said, "That's perfect. Let's meet at the state-owned restaurant at noon and have lunch before going back."
"Okay," Yun Guyuan was very happy, as if he was one step closer to her.
Chen Zhihe saw that Zheng Xiaolong and Yun Guyuan had made appointments with the girls they liked, then he looked at the silly girl next to him and sighed, "Come on, when are you going back?"
"What, do you want to come with me?" Qian Lai said.
Chen Zhihe is very different. Has she finally come to her senses?
Before he could agree, he heard Qian Lailai continue.
"But I don't know when I can go back. If I go fast, I might go back before noon. If I go slowly, I don't know. I'll see at noon. If I don't go to the state-owned restaurant at noon, I should go back early."
Chen Zhihe said "OK" with difficulty.
After agreeing on a time, everyone dispersed to do their own things. Even Chen Zhihe and Zheng Xiaolong, who were inseparable on weekdays, went in different directions.
Yi Qingqing went directly to the state-owned store.
The spacious state-owned store was packed with people, more than on any of my previous visits.
"How could there be so many people who want to buy a TV?" She stood on tiptoe to look inside, and seemed to be still gathering at the TV counter.
Yi Qingqing vaguely saw a large piece of red paper hanging on the previously empty counter, but she couldn't quite see what was written on it.
"You're overthinking it. I'm afraid that even in the entire Tieling County, there aren't enough people who can afford to buy a TV. They're just here to watch the fun!"
An auntie carrying a basket in front heard Yi Qingqing's words and said to her.
"It's just a number, what's so good about it?" Yi Qingqing expressed her incomprehension.
Are you all crowded here, just to watch the teller draw a lottery? In less than a minute, the ownership of this TV is decided. How can you enjoy watching such a short excitement?
"There are not many people who buy TVs, but many who watch them, especially those who don't have TVs yet. They are eagerly waiting for them! My son works in a textile factory. If he wins the lottery, his family can go and watch it!"
The aunt said proudly.
It seems that everyone who might benefit from this has come to watch the fun.
The family of an employee is not young or old, and how many employees are there in a unit? There are really not many people here.
Yi Qingqing personally felt how rare televisions were in Tieling County.
I feel like it might be difficult to sell my TV safely.
"Look, that's my son, the purchasing agent of the textile factory. He's here today to represent the factory. He's good-looking and capable. Girl, I see your family conditions are pretty good too. Would you like to get to know him?" The auntie said, pointing to a young man with a crew cut who was probably in his twenties.
Yi Qingqing: "..."
She was really grateful to this auntie. She just wanted to come today to see if the buyer from the textile factory could win the lottery. If not, she would observe this person to see if she could bypass the textile factory and disguise herself to trade the TV with him privately.
Because televisions are so rare in Tieling County, a TV suddenly appearing out of nowhere would be too eye-catching. The textile factory would only plan to purchase one from the provincial capital if they did not win the lottery. If they did not win the lottery and they had new televisions, others would think they bought them from the provincial capital.
With so many people around, she was worrying about how to find out about the buyer, but she didn't expect that the aunt who came to watch the fun was the buyer's mother.
And it sounded like he was trying to introduce her to someone.
Seeing the aunt's expectant and confident eyes, Yi Qingqing felt that it might not be an illusion, and thanked her for the bicycle.
"Oh, that's your son, he's very handsome, a good boy, what's his name?"
Yi Qingqing looked serious and a little exaggerated.
Forget about the partner, but I still need to find out the information!
It's obvious that this aunt is very proud of her son. She will definitely like to hear her son praised. Once she likes to hear it, she will reveal more things, and she can also see if there is any opportunity.
This is the gossip posture I learned from the aunties in the group. It is very down-to-earth. Generally speaking, when someone talks like this, the person being praised will definitely be very excited to talk.
Although Aunt Cao felt that Yi Qingqing's words were a bit strange, as if they were old sisters chatting together, but since she was praising her son, she had to let her know how outstanding her son was.
"My last name is Cao, and my son's name is Xiao Hua. Although he only has a junior high school education, he passed the recruitment exam on his own and got a job in the purchasing department of a textile factory. He earns 20 yuan a month! He is also the most valued person in their department and often gets bonuses!"
Xiao Hua? Why does this name sound familiar?
How many people had she met since she traveled through time? There was only one possibility that a name that made her feel familiar was that it had appeared in the original book.
Oh my god, isn’t this Xiao Hua one of the heroine’s subordinates?
In the early days, the heroine took things by herself and sent them to the black market to sell. Later, she felt that this was too inefficient, so she deliberately made connections and looked for marginalized people who roamed the black market and wanted to make money.
Let them act as middlemen and make a profit by reselling the products in the middle.
Although the heroine's profit per transaction is less, the time cost is not that high.
Once she was familiar with the business, she could come to the county town once and supply them with a large batch of goods, making a lot of money. She wouldn't have to always go to the black market to wait for people, being followed and living in fear.
This Xiao Hua was one of the first people she developed.
But at that time, that person was not a purchasing agent for a textile factory at all. He had nothing to do and was busy in the black market every day. But he was quite smart. He had no source of goods, but he made a little money by buying low and selling high through his understanding of the black market.
It was also because the supplies the heroine took out were relatively rare that he began to contact the heroine, wanting to inquire about her source of supplies. Unexpectedly, the heroine said that she could give him some of the supplies.
For safety reasons, the heroine pretended that she was also one of the downline people and fabricated a fictitious upline person.
If this guy had a regular class, why would he be hanging out in the black market every day?
Something is wrong!
However, at this point in time, the heroine hasn't even figured out the black market, and there is still some time before she starts to change her cash-out model. Could it be that something unexpected happened later, and Xiao Hua was fired?
Such an important matter was not mentioned at all in the original book.
