Liu Defu and Liu Dexi finally walked out of the county magistrate's office with a smile on their faces. Seeing their smug looks, Xu Changqing started to play tricks again.
He stopped the captains of several other brigades and said in a tone of indignation, "We can't sell our brigade's sweet potatoes to the Red Flag Brigade. If the price of something only goes up by a penny, Liu Defu is treating beggars like beggars."
"Xu Changqing, if you think it's too little, just get out of here. The Red Flag Brigade eats the meat themselves and even knows to give us some soup, but your Shangyang Brigade, Xu Changqing, eats the meat themselves and doesn't even want to give the bones to our other brigades." said a team leader.
"That's right. No matter how much Liu Defu stole things, he is still much better than you. Now I finally figured it out. It turns out that you, Xu Changqing, are using us as pawns. You can't wait for us and Liu Defu to quarrel and both suffer losses, so that you can always be superior to our other teams when you join Team Yang." Another team leader ruthlessly exposed Xu Changqing.
When the other team leaders heard this, they suddenly understood. No wonder Xu Changqing was so eager to find them and tell them that the Red Flag Team had made a fortune selling sweet potato vermicelli. So this was their plan.
Finally, the other captains surrounded Xu Changqing and beat him up, finally venting their anger. Liu Defu and Liu Dexi hid in the distance and saw Xu Changqing's bruised face and nose. They laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt.
In the office of the Hongqi Brigade, Yun Yan and several other village cadres were waiting for news from the brigade leader and the accountant.
"Nothing will go wrong, right? Why has he been gone for so long and still not back?" said the team leader.
"That shouldn't be the case. He was probably delayed on the way." said the deputy captain.
As soon as he finished speaking, the laughter of the team leader and the accountant came from the door.
After the team leader and the accountant entered the office, they told other village cadres what happened in the county magistrate's office today.
"Does that mean the other brigades have given up the idea?" asked the deputy brigades commander.
"Give up! What else can they do if they don't give up the idea? None of them knows whether they can sell the sweet potato vermicelli they make." The team leader replied.
"Didn't you see how upset Xu Changqing looked when the team leader asked him to hand over the silkworm breeding technology of the Shangyang Brigade?"
"Also, he persuaded several other brigades not to sell sweet potatoes to us. As a result, he was beaten black and blue by the captains of several other brigades. It really made me laugh to death." The accountant said with a smile.
Yun Zhiqing and several other village cadres felt relieved when they heard that Xu Changqing was beaten.
"But this incident has reminded me that if the workshop wants to expand, the selection of materials must be guaranteed. Captain, when you go to other brigades to buy sweet potatoes, it is best to sign a contract with them and ask them to guarantee the minimum amount of sweet potatoes they can provide. If they breach the contract, they must compensate us ten times." Yun Yan said.
"Yun Zhiqing is right. We must be on guard against others. If we don't sign the contract and we expand the workshop, they will go back on their word and stop selling sweet potatoes to us. Then we will be in a difficult situation," said the village party secretary.
After hearing this, the team leader thought it made sense. They worked out a contract together and asked the team leader to take it to other teams tomorrow.
"Why do we need to sign a contract? We will just deliver the sweet potatoes to you directly when the time comes. There is no need to make things so complicated, right?" said the captain of the Liuyuan Brigade.
"Lao Zhang, this is all for the good of our two teams. We all feel at ease after signing the contract. Aren't you worried that I won't buy the sweet potatoes you have worked so hard to grow at the agreed price?" Liu Defu said.
The captain of the Liuyuan Brigade heard this and realized it made perfect sense. Signing a contract guaranteed protection for both parties, as the contract stipulated that the party in breach of the contract would have to pay ten times the amount in compensation.
The captains of several other brigades also signed the contract happily, but Xu Changqing of Shangyang Brigade refused to sign.
Liu Defu didn't indulge him. Anyway, he already had contracts with five brigades, each contract was for 60,000 kilograms, which seemed to be enough for the time being.
In the blink of an eye, it was April. Yun Yan asked the team leader for a letter of introduction and planned to go to Guangzhou.
This time she was going alone, and before she left, the villagers gave her money and asked her to bring back some seafood. They still missed the dried shrimp and fish that Yunyan brought back last time.
Yun Yan didn't refuse, it was just a side job.
After arriving in Guangzhou, she still went to the Housing Authority to inquire if there was any land for sale. She was lucky that the Housing Authority happened to have a few pieces of land for sale, located next to the land she bought two years ago.
This time, Yun Yan directly bought two pieces of land, one of 5,000 square meters next to the one she bought before, and another of 3,000 square meters in another location. According to Yun Yan's memory from her previous life, that piece of land was also in a prime location.
Two years later, the land prices in Guangzhou had risen a lot, and the two plots of land cost a total of almost 17,000 yuan.
After buying the land, Yun Yan went to the beach again and bought a lot of dried shrimps, dried fish and other dried seafood, as well as a lot of fresh lobsters, abalone and other seafood.
She also picked up a lot of shells on the beach, all kinds of colorful ones.
After finishing her work in Guang City, she went to Hai City again. Unexpectedly, she had an unexpected gain this time.
She stayed in Hai City for five days but couldn't find a suitable piece of land or house. She originally planned to buy some local specialties and then go back, but she didn't expect to come across a watch factory that was processing a batch of defective watches. Not only were the prices cheap, but they also didn't require industrial tickets.
Yun Yan also squeezed over to take a look. Although it was a processed product, it only had minor flaws, such as scratches on the strap and the mirror.
"Oh, these watches are all scratched. How can I wear them out to meet people?" A local aunt in Hai City complained.
"If it weren't for the scratches, how could it be dozens of dollars cheaper? And you don't even need a ticket. Auntie, don't be so picky." The salesperson rolled her eyes and said.
Yun Yan picked up these watches and took a look. They all had minor problems. Moreover, these watches were all produced by a famous local watch factory in Hai City and the styles were all the latest.
Yun Yan asked about the price. Each watch was 106 yuan, which was more than 20 yuan cheaper than those normal watches.
There were more than 200 watches to be sold this time. Yun Yan happened to arrive just as they started selling, so she hadn't sold many yet.
Since there was no purchase limit and no industrial ticket was required, Yun Yan made up her mind and bought fifty watches.
The salesperson thought she had misheard and asked uncertainly, "Girl, you just said you wanted a fifty-dollar watch. Did I hear you right?"
"You heard me right. I did say fifty watches. Is there a limit that says I can't buy that many?" Yun Yan asked.
"Of course not. Come with me here and I'll help you get the invoice." The salesperson quickly pulled Yun Yan aside.
