Chapter 248 I Just Want to Make Friends
Shao Huimin came down quickly and brought several classmates with her.
Two of the girls were holding two sets of clothes and were obviously nervous.
A set of clothes costs twenty-eight yuan, which is equivalent to a young worker's monthly salary. If you buy fakes, you can imagine how you would feel.
"I just bought this yesterday. They said it's the Tianjiao series specially made for college students."
Li Ye didn't say anything, but Jin Peng took it with a smile and carefully examined the condition of the clothes.
The fabric of the clothes is good, the counterfeiters used enough materials, and 90% of the styles were copied from Fenghua's Cardamom series, but the workmanship is not at all comparable to the originals. The buttons, zippers, and labels with Fenghua trademarks are not even close to being imitated, or simply changed or cancelled.
Li Ye laughed. He never thought that he would encounter a high-quality imitation product in 1983.
[Could it be that we ran into someone of the same kind? ]
Jin Peng looked through the clothes and then gave them back to the nervous classmate.
The two students immediately asked, "Excuse me, is this a real Fenghua brand?"
Jin Peng pondered for a moment and said, "I am only responsible for distribution, so I am not very sure. If you are willing to sell it to me at the original price, I am willing to send it back to the manufacturer to help you."
"Okay, I just bought it yesterday, twenty-eight dollars."
"I bought it this morning, also for twenty-eight."
The two female classmates immediately stuffed the clothes into Jin Peng's hands.
Li Ye guessed what they were thinking from the relieved look in their eyes.
They were deceived into buying clothes. In fact, after comparing them with the authentic ones sold by Shao Huimin and others, they had already realized that something was wrong, but they were unwilling to admit it. Some of them even tried hard to argue with Li Dayong, Shao Huimin and others.
Just like some fools in later generations told their good brothers that they had hooked up with a fake socialite, but ended up being turned against and scolded by their brothers.
Have you ever seen the real thing? How dare you ruin my happiness?
Jin Peng paid the money and then reminded them: "We haven't confirmed it yet, so don't make it too public, so as not to affect the friendship between classmates."
"Okay, okay, we all know this."
Several girls agreed readily.
However, Li Ye knew that given women's nature, this matter would soon reach the ears of those classmates who "had connections".
I have to say that unscrupulous businessmen are all smart people.
In his previous life, Li Ye did not know until the 1990s that some businesses had begun to explore the campus market.
They will find students with strong mobility and let them use their status to make money from the students for them.
For example, the early "movie package" organized students to contribute to movie theaters that were almost unable to survive.
Later, when the business became prosperous, students were organized to work as summer interns. The organizers could easily make a profit from the middleman's price difference, so that they could afford to buy a car before graduation.
Do you think they are bad?
That’s hard to say. After all, they provide convenience to students, but the scale is difficult to grasp.
. . . . . .
Li Ye and Jin Peng left Beijing Institute of Technology and drove straight to Beier Tiao to find Huang Gang.
Li Ye hasn't seen Huang Gang since Wang Jianqiang moved last year, but Jin Peng would have a drink with him every now and then.
Because of Wang Jianqiang's relationship, Huang Gang should have been able to quickly become rich by relying on Pengcheng Factory No. 7.
But he had a stubborn temper. Although he and Wang Jianqiang were as close as brothers, he still lived by his own small stall and refused to participate in the management of Pengcheng Factory No. 7.
Wang Jianqiang was a little confused, but Li Ye told him that everyone has his own persistence.
If Wang Jianqiang didn't like Huang Suwen, then Huang Gang might have come to help Wang Jianqiang a long time ago. But now the relationship between the two of them is unclear, so how could Huang Gang allow people to gossip about his own sister?
Later, Wang Jianqiang stopped persuading him. He would just "deal with" some defective goods for him from time to time, allowing him and his brothers to live freely every day.
However, in this way, Huang Gang can basically know any movements in the private clothing circle in Beijing.
Jin Peng would often seek information from him. After all, he was a local and had insurmountable advantages over Jin Peng and others.
Li Ye and Jin Peng first arrived at Wang Jianqiang's house, but found the door was locked and no one was in the house.
Jin Peng took Li Ye to Huang Gang's house. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Wang Jianqiang sitting at the dining table with his little face flushed from drinking.
Seeing Li Ye coming in, Wang Jianqiang quickly stood up and said, "Brother, Uncle Huang is back. Do you want to talk to me about something?"
Huang Gang's father, Huang Qixian, works in a coal mine in the suburbs and only comes back once every few days. Whenever he comes back, he will definitely call Wang Jianqiang to come over for dinner.
Huang Qi first saw Jin Peng and asked warmly, "Is the matter serious? If not, eat a bite first and then get busy after you finish eating."
Jin Peng smiled and said, "We've already eaten, it's not a big deal, we just need to ask Brother Huang Gang for a small favor, Uncle Huang, you guys drink first."
"What do you want to drink?"
When Huang Qixian heard that he was looking for Huang Gang's help, he glared at him and said, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you get down to business?"
"Hey, I'll go right away. I'll go right away."
Huang Gang, who was a powerful figure outside and always fought with others, was so frustrated by his father's words that he could not sit still on the bench and hurried out of the yard with Jin Peng and others.
Jin Peng handed the two pieces of clothing to Huang Gang and said seriously, "Find someone to help me check and ask who has seen this kind of stuff. If anyone has definite information, I'll give him 100 yuan for the information."
"Why would we need money? If we need money, what would we do? Give me two days, and I promise to find the source for you."
Huang Gang took the clothes and packed them up while looking at them.
Then he heard Li Ye say, "We don't have two days, we have to hurry. If you have any information, we'll give you 100 yuan. If you can find a warehouse for this kind of goods, we'll give you 10,000 yuan."
"How much? One hundred million?"
Huang Gang was so shocked by the thunder that he stuttered.
Ten thousand yuan?
Wow, do you know how big a bundle of ten thousand yuan is?
Ten thousand yuan can buy a large courtyard house, which also comes with a refrigerator, color TV and washing machine!
"Is there something wrong with these two pieces of clothing?"
Huang Gang was not a fool, so he quickly walked under the street light and took a closer look.
Jin Peng said in a deep voice: "Our Fenghua brand was counterfeited and sold to unsuspecting students. How could these black-hearted people cheat college students' money?"
"Where did this idiot come from? He's really a black-hearted guy. In less than two days, I will turn the whole city upside down to find him tonight. Just wait and see!"
Huang Gang was furious when he heard this.
He has a bit of an old-fashioned temper. The more his brothers ask him for help, the more excited he becomes. Now that Wang Jianqiang and college students are involved, even his sense of justice comes up all of a sudden.
"Ride my motorcycle!"
Wang Jianqiang also became anxious when he heard this. Whoever touches Fenghua brand would be touching his child’s milk powder money!
But Li Ye immediately said: "You have been drinking, you can't ride a motorcycle!"
Wang Jianqiang said as he ran towards his home: "I didn't drink much, and I have a helmet."
Li Ye felt that this was inappropriate and that it was imperative to be cautious in everything.
So he said to Jin Peng: "Let's split up. I'll ride a motorcycle with Huang Gang to look for people, and you drive to inform Uncle Hong and the others to gather and wait tonight."
Jin Peng nodded in agreement, and then the four of them split into two groups to look for people respectively.
Huang Gang, the local tyrant, did have a lot of acquaintances and he had asked many people before midnight, but this time things were obviously a bit tricky.
Huang Gang said embarrassedly: "It's strange, most of the people in the circle of Beijing don't know about it, so the owner is not going to sell the goods in the market?"
Li Ye said calmly: "Maybe the other party hasn't had time to find you yet, maybe he is planning to start a new bulk cargo circle that belongs entirely to him."
"It's not that easy. If there's any movement, it's impossible for anyone doing business in the capital to not leave any news. Let's go ask around."
Huang Gang led Li Ye forward and unexpectedly arrived at a video hall.
Li Ye didn't go in, but waited outside.
It was already midnight when he heard an indescribable sound coming from the video room, which reminded him of his close friends who had watched the video together.
A figure came over and said with an embarrassed smile: "Brother, do you want to go in and take a look?"
"No, I'll wait for someone."
Li Ye shook his head. What's the fun of watching this 1983 Hong Kong pornographic film?
However, when he turned around, he realized that the other person was an acquaintance. It was the "Mr. Duo" whom he met in the clothing store on Xiushui Street when the Pengcheng Seventh Factory first arrived in Beijing.
"Master Duo? Is this your place?"
"Hey, what's the use of Duo Ye? Just call me Lao Duo. I look after the place for others and make a living."
"Oh, then you are busy. I won't go in. I will leave in a moment."
“Hey hey.”
Duo Ye looked at the calm and composed Li Ye as if he was looking at a sleepy tiger. He was too timid to approach him, but he felt unwilling to do so.
At this time, Huang Gang came out of the video room. After seeing Duo Ye, he immediately said sternly: "Duo Xing, what are you doing?"
Duo Xing smiled and said, "What can I do? I see this acquaintance, so I'll just say a few words!"
"Hmph, stay away from me. We haven't gotten over our feud from last time yet! Don't make yourself uncomfortable."
“Hehe~”
Duo Xing, who was once so powerful and had dozens of brothers, could only sigh that he was bullied by a dog in the open and moved to the side.
Ever since Duoxing went in there for a while, he became arrogant after he came out. His former brothers all left him and even Huang Gang could bully him.
The reason why Duoxing was sent in was because of Li Ye.
But just as the two of them got on their motorcycles and were about to leave, Duoxing suddenly remembered something and blurted out.
"Are you looking for news on those fakes?"
"Squeak~"
Li Ye slammed on the brakes and Huang Gang staggered and jumped down.
"I say Duoxing, do you know something?"
"Hehe, you know a little bit about it. It's Fenghua brand! Now is the time when it's in short supply and it's a good time to make money."
Huang Gang said coldly: "If you know the exact clues, I will give you 100 yuan for the information, but if you dare to lie to us, you should know the consequences."
Duo Xing grinned and said proudly: "Not only do I know the clues, I also know where they store the goods."
“.”
Huang Gang looked at Li Ye, then raised a finger to Duo Xing: "Take us there, and I'll give you this amount."
Duoxing glanced at Huang Gang with disdain in his eyes.
Then he smiled broadly at Li Ye: "Money doesn't matter, I just want to make friends."
