"Is that so?" Zhong Yuxiu suddenly realized what it was, and then she lost interest. "I'll go help Goudan set the table. Comrade Hao, Comrade Tian, take a look at the goods and see if you are satisfied."
Haonan and Tian Shangguo nodded, "Okay, thank you very much."
"Let's not talk about this." Zhong Yuxiu hurried to the kitchen.
Three big men surrounded the black cloth. Yan Rushan uncovered it and saw things piled up on top of each other, including malted milk, cloth, bicycles, watches, and sewing machines.
"Take a look at the quality and brand." He stepped back to make room.
Haonan and Tian Shangguo stepped forward. Haonan picked up the malted milk and the cloth, while Tian Shangguo looked at the three major items. There was no need to look at the malted milk, as it was the same brand and packaging. The cloth was a good Dacron cloth, which was also a popular cloth nowadays.
"Comrade Yan, thank you. The fabric is very good." Haonan took a quick look and was very satisfied. "How much is it in total? I'll go get the money for you."
"A can of malted milk is eight yuan, and two batches of cloth don't require invoices, just give me thirty yuan." This is exactly the purchase price.
"Okay, I'll go get the money, please wait."
Haonan went upstairs carrying the things and came down with the money a moment later. "Please count it, thirty-eight."
"No need to count, how can I not trust you?" Yan Rushan put the money directly into his pocket. They had a certain understanding of each other's character, so they still had some trust.
Haonan smiled and felt relieved. No matter what the reason was, it was a comforting thing to be trusted by others.
Tian Shangguo finished his inspection and nodded, "Comrade Yan, everything is fine, brand new. How much is the bill?"
"Bicycles, watches, and sewing machines don't require tickets. Bicycles are two hundred and fifty; watches are one hundred and eighty; and sewing machines are three hundred and fifty."
"Isn't this...too cheap?" Tian Shangguo mentally calculated that the three major items would cost at least a thousand yuan, and that was even with invoices. The sewing machine, in particular, was truly expensive. Things in Beijing were more expensive than in the countryside, so the price was naturally higher. "Comrade Yan, you're losing money this way. The price is what it is. There's no need to try to give me a bargain. You're not running this business alone."
Not only did they know about Yan Rushan's movements, but his superiors also knew something about it; otherwise, it would not have been so easy for him to exercise his power.
Haonan nodded. "Isn't mine considered cheap?"
"No, we're all acquaintances, so we can't go against the outsiders on price. If we do the math, we can still make a profit." Yan Rushan said calmly, "Don't think too much. In our line of work, we can eat anything."
Tian Shangguo was relieved, "Then, I'll go up and get the money."
"Yes." Yan Rushan nodded. Tian Shangguo quickly went upstairs, took out the money and stuffed it into his pocket. "Thank you very much for this, Comrade Yan."
"It's just a piece of cake." Yan Rushan took the money and put it in his pocket. "Okay, you guys move the things and put them away. I'll go help Yuxiu set the table."
After saying that, he walked quickly into the kitchen; Haonan helped Tian Shangguo move the sewing machine and bicycle into the utility room. The watch could be carried with them and there was no rush to put it away.
"How did you get in?" Zhong Yuxiu finished washing the dishes and turned around to see him standing behind her, his face gazing at her with a smile on his face. She couldn't help but smile, "Are they satisfied?"
"They are here to help you set the table. They are very satisfied. Everything is brand new and there is no problem with the quality. Of course they are satisfied." Yan Rushan reached out and took the dishes and chopsticks from her hand.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded and said, "The bicycle business can be adjusted appropriately."
"Yeah, I think so too. We've already made some adjustments. After we sell all the bikes we have, we'll only be buying a small amount." Yan Rushan held his bowl and chopsticks in his hands as he spoke to her. "The emergence of small electric donkeys will soon replace bicycles, and the bicycle market will be greatly impacted. We've taken all of this into consideration."
There are tricks to selling goods, and it is not a one-size-fits-all process; they need to consider many things when purchasing goods, including the times, current affairs, trends and other factors.
They don't just sell one or two items, but resell everything they can.
When the business is big, there are naturally more things to worry about.
"Yeah, that's true." Their minds were on the same page, and the conversation was comfortable. "E-scooters can't be sold privately yet. However, you have a good family background, so you should be able to get some by using some connections, right?"
Yan Rushan shook his head. "It's not that simple. Electric donkeys are a huge source of income right now. When they're in private hands, the price can't be controlled. It's not time for them to become widespread."
When they become popular, the price of electric scooters will drop to a level that ordinary people can afford.
"That's right." Zhong Yuxiu understood and turned to ask, "Brother Yan, you are accumulating funds now. What kind of business do you plan to start in the future?"
“Real estate, clothing, technology.”
Zhong Yuxiu pondered, "Why do you want to make clothes?"
"You need food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. You can't do nothing. If possible, I'd also like to start a jewelry business." Yan Rushan said this, and Zhong Yuxiu's heart moved. "The capital required for the jewelry business is huge, not much less than that of real estate and technology businesses. Do you have enough funds?"
Yan Rushan looked at her and chuckled, "If you don't have enough capital, you can slowly accumulate it and eventually achieve your goals. It's not easy to succeed in the jewelry business. You need to be fully prepared for the jade materials, carving, polishing, sales, and other processes. Otherwise, you can't just start casually."
That will be exposed to the light.
"It seems you know a lot. I don't know much about business. Just do what you want to do. Now it's time to eat. Send the dishes out and I'll serve the food."
Putting aside all thoughts, she pushed Yan Rushan out of the kitchen and took out two pots of dishes; Haonan and Tian Shangguo came out of the utility room and ran over to help. With so many people around and so fast speed, the food was soon served on the table.
Three meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and a soup.
After the four of them had dinner and saw Yan Rushan off, Zhong Yuxiu washed up and went back upstairs. Not long after she went upstairs, Haonan came to call for help again.
"Comrade Zhong, are you asleep?"
"No." Zhong Yuxiu sat up from the bed, put on her coat and opened the door. "What's the matter?"
Haonan said, "Someone sent a range hood downstairs."
"Just ask them to help install it. Pay them if they ask for money, and give them tickets if they ask for tickets. Goudan should be downstairs too. If you don't understand anything, just let him install it."
"Okay, then you can rest first."
Haonan turned around and went downstairs to convey Zhong Yuxiu's meaning to Goudan; Goudan responded with three "di di" sounds to show that he understood, then turned around and installed the range hood with the person who delivered the range hood.
The person who delivered the range hood was also a soldier. When Zhong Yuxiu gave the blueprint, she said that only one range hood was needed. Therefore, as soon as the range hood left the factory, Xi Nian sent someone to deliver one. This person was the guard who often walked around Xi Nian.
