It's like, if you ask Mai Sui to build an airplane or a cannon, she can do it for you in minutes.
For some of them, you may not even need to draw a blueprint, you can just start operating directly.
Because I have done it countless times, it is so familiar!
But if you ask Mai Sui to make a tricycle, she might need to think carefully about it.
In the following days, An Lisu took advantage of Mai Laosan's relationship and frequently went in and out of Mai Sui's small villa.
Didn’t Mai Laosan want to enter the black market? So An Lisu introduced him to Chen Xiao, the biggest middleman in the Beijing black market.
Like An Lisu, Chen Xiao is Lin Tongde's subordinate.
The two did not know each other before, and had never even met each other. It was An Lisu who wanted to please Mai Laosan, so she asked Lin Tongde if he had any resources in this regard.
Isn’t Lin Tongde from the Ministry of Commerce? Perhaps he knows someone in this field.
So, Lin Tongde introduced Chen Xiao to An Lishu and asked Chen Xiao to fully cooperate with An Lishu's actions.
The reason why Chen Xiao was able to become the biggest second-hand dealer in the Beijing black market was because he had Lin Tongde helping him behind the scenes.
For example, taking advantage of his position to introduce sources of goods to Chen Xiao.
The most important thing in doing business is the source of goods!
With high-quality sources of goods, Chen Xiao quickly became prominent in the black market and developed many subordinates.
But don't get me wrong, these are not spies, they are just young people working hard to make a living.
The job of "spy" is quite special, and it is not the case that the more people there are, the more jobs there will be.
Because there are too many people, it is easy to be exposed and it is also difficult to manage.
After supporting Chen Xiao to the position, Lin Tongde was able to use the black market to collect intelligence.
Chen Xiao already knew Mai Lao San's identity from An Lisu, so he was naturally quite polite to him.
In addition, Lotus brand sewing machines were indeed selling well, so the two parties hit it off.
In the end, Chen Xiao bought the 100 sewing machines from Mai Laosan at a purchase price of 108 yuan.
This purchase price is definitely high.
If An Lisu had not given a heads-up in advance, and if Chen Xiao was not a spy, he would probably want to cut off one of Mai Laosan's legs after hearing Mai Laosan's offer.
The "black" in black market does not just mean that it is not allowed by policy, it also includes many layers of meaning.
If you really think that the black market is just about reselling, then I can only say that you are too naive.
But everything is for the mission, and Chen Xiao has no choice.
There is always profit to be made, at worst he can just raise the price!
However, just 100 units are definitely not enough to sell.
With such a small amount of goods, if we divide it up, it can all be sold out in one morning or afternoon.
Therefore, Chen Xiao wanted to assign one of his younger brothers to go to Lianhua Village to get the goods.
This would definitely involve issues of manpower and transportation costs, so Chen Xiao took the opportunity to ask if the price could be lowered a bit.
Although it was a task assigned by the organization, Chen Xiao still wanted to gain some benefits for himself while completing the task.
But Mai Lao San refused.
Because he already had a candidate, that person was Song Hewei's uncle Fu Bowen, so there was no need for Chen Xiao's people to go to Lianhua Village to get the goods.
Since Chen Xiao had no reason anymore, it was naturally difficult for him to mention the price reduction again.
He even wanted to kill someone, but who told him that he had a mission to complete?
Before coming to see Chen Xiao, Mai Laosan went to see Fu Bowen first.
Previously, Mai Sui, at the request of Mai Lao San, asked Zhou Zhengting to help investigate Fu Bowen's situation.
Although Zhou Zhengting was extremely busy, Mai Sui personally asked him for help and he agreed without hesitation.
The response was also very quick, and Fu Bowen's situation was thoroughly investigated within one day.
Fu Bowen was indeed doing business on the black market as Song Hewei said.
But it’s only been less than half a year since we started.
But that doesn't matter.
What matters is character.
Mai Laosan originally planned to let Fu Bowen help him ship the goods, just like Yan Feng did.
But he thought about it later and changed his mind.
Because he needed a Lotus Factory representative to be stationed in Beijing.
It is unlikely that he himself will stay in the capital for a long time, and Mai Sui and Shen Xingchen both have their own jobs and cannot serve as the representative.
So, I have to find someone else.
It just so happened that Fu Bowen had a good character, so Mai Laosan wanted Fu Bowen to be the "Lotus Factory representative."
Of course, in addition to Fu Bowen’s good character, there are two other reasons.
One reason is that Fu Bowen was born and raised in Beijing and has a better understanding of the situation in Beijing.
Secondly, it is because Song Hewei works in the factory, and she is loyal to Mai Sui until her death!
Anyone with eyesight can see this.
To Song Hewei, what Mai Sui said was like an imperial edict.
Everyone even suspected that if Mai Sui asked Song Hewei to eat shit, she would probably go.
Shen Xingchen has been very nervous recently. When he saw Song Hewei wanted to talk to Mai Sui, he became like a hedgehog and was extremely rude to Song Hewei.
He even wanted Song Hewei to move back to his home. It was not like she had nowhere else to live, so why should she live in his house!
But Song Hewei didn't want to go back to the machinery factory's family compound.
Song Weizhi, Liu Chunmei and others didn't know that Song Hewei had returned to the capital.
If Liu Chunmei doesn’t know, then it is even more impossible for Liu Tianqi to know.
They were still dreaming of getting rich, but after waiting for several days, Song Hewei didn't call back.
Liu Chunmei later sent several more telegrams, each one more radical than the last.
But Song Hewei was not in Lianhua Village at all, so she didn't receive it.
Zhao Xudong gradually lost his patience and kept asking about Liu Tianqi's condition every day.
Please, at least reply.
However, Zhao Xudong felt that there should be no problem with this matter.
After all, if it can be sold to others, why can't it be sold to him? It's not like he won't pay.
Zhao Xudong thought about it and finally suspected that Song Hewei was too embarrassed to go to the factory to ask because she was too embarrassed to do so.
After all, strictly speaking, this matter is not in compliance with the regulations. It is understandable that Song Hewei, an honest female comrade, is worried and afraid.
So, Zhao Xudong made up his mind and decided to go to Lianhua Village with Liu Tianqi to find Song Hewei.
Liu Tianqi was eager to make money and was waiting impatiently, so he agreed without thinking.
But Liu Tianqi and Song Hewei actually don’t have a good relationship.
Just think about it, Liu Chunmei didn't even let Song Hewei come back for the New Year, which shows how close their relationship is.
The relationship with Liu Tianqi, the so-called uncle who was a level apart, was even worse.
Therefore, in order to ensure that Song Hewei could be persuaded to help, Zhao Xudong decided to let Song Hewei's biological father Song Weizhi go as well.
But Song Weizi didn't want to have his salary deducted for taking leave.
Lotus Village is not close to the capital, and it takes at least a week to go back and forth.
Finally, Zhao Xudong promised to cover the loss of wages and round-trip tickets, and only then did Song Weizhi agree.
When Zhao Xudong, Liu Tianqi and Song Weizhi boarded the train heading south together, Fu Bowen on the other side had already agreed to Mai Laosan to become the representative of the Lotus Factory in Beijing.
In other words, Fu Bowen is now also a member of Lotus Factory.
