An Jingzhi's face fell. "What are you talking about? What do you mean by being cruel? I'm saving them! How can the price of food here be the same as in our country? If I hadn't brought these potatoes, they wouldn't have anywhere to exchange them!"
"Besides, my travel expenses, food expenses, and your labor, which one doesn't cost money?"
"We were lucky this time and didn't encounter any accidents. If it were otherwise, we wouldn't be so safe later. The people here have guns, and they're not hunting rifles. We're risking our lives on this trip, and I still think the profit is too little! If it weren't for safety reasons, I would definitely look for more deals!"
Lu Lian and his companions were shy and felt a little embarrassed after being scolded by An Jingzhi. They also felt that what he said seemed to make sense.
He scratched his head and apologized, "Sorry, Boss. I don't know what's going on here either."
An Jingzhi sighed, what an honest child, he believed everything he said, but he didn't say anything nonsense.
"It's okay, you just need to know. We seem to be making easy money, but it's actually just luck. It might not be so easy next time. There are quite a few gangs here. I took you around here because I was afraid you'd get robbed during transactions. I took you to scout out the area. Don't take this too lightly."
"The gangs here are different from those in our country. They all carry guns, and you can't find the murderer if they kill someone. The security here is not good. The things you have on your hands may be enough to fool ordinary people, but if you encounter those desperate criminals, even if we put all our money together, we won't be able to deliver them."
As I listened to An Jingzhi's words, I became more and more frightened, and I couldn't help but feel a chill on my back.
At first, when An Jingzhi saw people not trading, they were a little confused as to what they were doing, walking back and forth.
"Boss, you're worthy of being the boss. You think things through in detail. Luckily you brought us with you. If we had come alone, we would have been eaten alive." Wan Xinming said.
"Stop flattering me. I'll remember all the money and effort you've put in. When we go back and sell the things, we'll divide the profits based on everyone's contributions." An Jingzhi said, looking at Chen Yi. "Your 50 yuan will have to wait. I have to sell this batch of things first before I can pay you."
After this incident, Chen Yi's opinion of An Jingzhi changed. She didn't expect that he was such a thoughtful person.
She knew that this place was actually as dangerous as An Jingzhi said. When they walked into the town, she would habitually look around and saw many people looking at them curiously, but because they were dressed in rags and their bags were full of stones, no one came up to attack them.
Those stones were what An Jingzhi asked them to carry in their bags before entering the town, and he would deliberately leave a small hole in the bag so that others could see what was in the bag. However, there was only a stone in the gap, and the rest were potatoes.
Several people's faces were covered with mud, and it didn't look like they had any food.
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Being able to come here is already an eye-opener.
They rested on the roadside in the middle of the night. Seeing Chen Yi eating her dry and inedible pancake again, An Jingzhi handed her a steamed bun from his bag.
"Eat it! How can you chew that bread? Don't feel burdened. Just think of it as a reward for your contribution to the team."
After An Jingzhi finished speaking, he gave one of his remaining steamed buns to each of the others. An's mother had prepared four days' worth of food for him, but their round trip only took one day and two nights, so he simply shared the remaining food among them.
After receiving the steamed buns, the brothers happily began to eat them.
Seeing that everyone had one, Chen Yi did not refuse again.
He lowered his head and bit the steamed bun in his mouth, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved.
An Jingzhi and his companions went back after dark, and it was eight o'clock in the morning when they arrived at their territory.
The few of them separated and left all their belongings with An Jingzhi.
This is the advantage of the items they exchange being small and inconspicuous when carried with them.
When they got home, everyone had gone to work. An Jingzhi put his bed in the old couple's room and fell asleep.
It was not until noon when he heard the noisy noise outside that he got up, rubbing his eyes.
Seeing someone walk out of the room, everyone else was a little surprised.
The eldest brother An Yuanchao asked, "Jingzhi is back? When did you come? Why didn't I hear anything?"
An Jingzhi washed his face and woke up. "I came here in the morning. Everyone went to work, so I just slept in there."
Soon the meal was served. An's mother was very happy to see her son back and kept picking up food for him.
An Jingzhi actually had no appetite and looked sleepy.
…
After sleeping at home for a day, he started looking for customers the next day.
Although these people have not achieved much, they are still useful after all. For example, they know the surrounding area very well, and they can explain clearly which people are richer and which are poorer.
An Jingzhi gave the pens to Wan Xinming to sell, and he planned to sell the jewelry and watches himself.
Huang Xuekun and Lu Lian are not cut out for business, so you won't get much money if you give them the things.
He was leaning against a wall and saw a young man in a shirt walking by. He hurriedly followed him.
"brother."
The young man in the shirt turned and looked at him in confusion, "Who are you?"
An Jingzhi smiled familiarly, "I just saw you, brother, are you on a blind date today? It looks like it didn't work out."
The man in the shirt looked at him unhappily, "Do I have any say in that?"
An Jingzhi was not annoyed. "Don't worry, brother. I think you have good looks and conditions, but you are still missing something. Women need to dress up, and men need to dress up too."
Perhaps because what the other party said was somewhat pleasing to the ear, he stopped and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Look at how formally dressed you are today, brother. You must be taking this date very seriously. But you're still missing something. A watch can really add to a man's charm. Digital watches are just kidding. Look at this one on me. It doesn't make me look very mature at all."
As he said this, he took out another mechanical watch and put it on his other hand, comparing the two hands and placing them in front of the man in the shirt.
"Look at these two hands. They are both wearing watches. Doesn't wearing a mechanical watch give people a sense of maturity, stability and reliability?" An Jingzhi deceived.
Where is the sense of maturity, stability and reliability? It's just that the hand with the mechanical watch is pressed tightly and quietly exerting force, and the blue veins on the hand emerge, making the hand look very powerful. Coupled with his words of persuasion, it makes the man in the shirt feel that this is really the case.
