Zhang Wen hadn't expected that the food and meat shortages he'd been worrying about recently would be solved so easily. It was like divine help! He looked at the little girl before him, as if she were a fairy who had just descended to earth...
He had been secretly planning to open another black market. After all, the city was so large that a black market that was closer would definitely be more convenient, so he had been planning it early on. However, the supply of goods was sluggish and the quantity could not keep up.
Although he sent people to inquire around, the supply still couldn't keep up with the demand. Of course, that was also why he didn't dare to raise the price at will. After all, if the price went up, the black market on his side would be less competitive.
Moreover, he himself has a big secret hidden in his heart, an everlasting concern in his heart.
"Then let's go to an empty yard in the southern suburbs of the city. Send someone over to inspect the goods at 10 p.m. and bring back enough small yellow croakers and antiques. The quantity isn't large this time, but we're in a long-term business, so you have to show your sincerity."
"Don't worry, I have a house and a yard here. We want to have a long-term partnership and are counting on you to help us expand our market. As soon as you see the goods, I'll pay you right away!"
"And this time, I'm going to give you one ton of each of the three kinds of grain, plus five hundred kilograms of pork, one hundred kilograms of mutton, small yellow croaker, and antiques. I won't give you a high price for these things. I, Zhang Wen, am not the kind of person who would be easily tempted!"
Chu Xi became more and more satisfied with Boss Zhang, who was good at talking and full of sincerity.
The most convincing people in this era are soldiers. They keep their promises and never play tricks. Even if they know they will suffer losses in the end, they will still fulfill their promises!
The two of them quickly discussed the details, and Chu Xi turned and walked out, no longer paying attention to the grumblings of Zhang Lao Da and the short Li Shui behind him...
"Boss, is what she said true? Why does it feel so unreal that such a good thing happened to me?"
"I also feel it's a bit of a coincidence. It seems that the food in the city has just started to become a little tight, and this little girl appeared. But what can she possibly deceive me about?"
"However, her samples are really good. If there is such a large quantity, then she should be able to ship it..."
The two thought about it and couldn't figure it out, so they decided to bring more people with them at night to make sure nothing went wrong.
Chu Xi still needed to go and look at an empty yard that he noticed when he came. If there was someone there, he would have to rent it first, put the goods there, and wait.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the transaction went smoothly. Even until Chu Xi had his men transport the antiques and gold away, Zhang Wen and Li Shui were still in a dream. Looking at the huge piles of high-quality grain and meat before them, they were a little crazy with excitement. They wanted to knock themselves a few times to see if they were still dreaming. Is this really happening?
But soon, the two began to worry again. Was this girl doing this on purpose? Why didn't she give them a single bag? Why did she just leave the things piled up here? How could six or seven of them get them back?
Without paying any attention to Zhang Wen and the others' happy worries, Chu Xi drove them away early and quietly collected all the "payments" in an extremely good mood. It was another huge income!
Moreover, seeing the people walking around in a clean manner, Chu Xi had an even better impression of Boss Zhang. He didn't send anyone to follow him and didn't have any other thoughts. He was also an open-minded person.
Looking at the boxes of small yellow croakers in the small courtyard and the various beautiful antiques spread out on the ground, Chu Xi was happy. Although it could only take up one tenth of the underground secret room, we can slowly plan it out. We must make him willingly help us continue collecting antiques...
I collect antiques, you collect money, and we all get food. It's a mutually beneficial thing for all three parties, so why not do it?
Chu Xi has been slowly observing Zhang Wen's character these past few days, wondering whether they can continue to cooperate and whether he is a black-hearted person.
After all, time reveals a person's true character. The fact that Zhang Wen would rather sell his products to poor workers and farmers at the normal black market price than be purchased in large quantities at a high price shows the character of this veteran.
And soon Zhang Wen also let Chu Xi see what it means to "retire but not lose ambition, leave the army but not lose color."
On the third night after their successful transaction, Zhang Wen brought most of his black market accomplices with him, using a borrowed Jiefang truck to haul away nearly half of the food and almost all of the meat. Chu Xi, who happened to be a little excited and unable to sleep, followed them out of curiosity...
It turned out that just outside the mountainous area south of Chaoyang City, a military unit of unknown military rank was stationed there. Life wasn't going well for them. After all, the entire country was currently experiencing a shortage of supplies. Three consecutive years of natural disasters and so many years of internal conflict had left this young nation impoverished and weak. Life was extremely difficult. After all, the entire country was short of food, so some troops, following their tradition, voluntarily received much less supplies, just enough to ensure they wouldn't starve to death...
Chu Xi watched from afar as Zhang Wen donated a truckload of food and some supplies he had collected to the army free of charge, only to receive a collective salute and silent thanks from his comrades in the army!
I was deeply moved. Such good men are so rare! Especially when I saw most of the soldiers standing in the army, they looked so thin that they would fall down with a gust of wind. I even felt sorry for them. Shouldn't we also come to support them? It's okay if we can't see them, but now that we are here...
At this time, a young leader who looked very weak came out of the army. The moment he saw Zhang Wen, he burst into tears and held Zhang Wen's hand and was unwilling to let go. I wonder what other stories are there...
All in all, the facts have proven that this is a comrade worthy of respect! Of course, cooperation should be vigorously promoted! Just consider it as making a contribution to these lovely people's soldiers. Of course, you can also get a lot of antique jade, which is even more exciting!
