Luo Lijun went forward and knocked on the door.
"who?"
"Open the door, it's me."
"It's Luo San, wait, I'll open the door right away." There were a few creaking sounds from inside the door, as well as the sound of a wooden bolt being put in, and the paint-peeling door was opened; there were several strong men inside, some tall and some short, dressed well and some poorly. She also saw one of them wearing patched clothes.
"Luo San, you are finally here. Let's go and take a look at the new goods we have brought back. They will surely sell well if we sell them after the New Year." The man who spoke had dark skin, bright eyes, and seemed to be a straightforward person in his speech and behavior.
Luo Lijun did not respond to him, but looked back; the seven people who were far away only then saw Zhong Yuxiu beside Yan Rushan. She was a pretty girl with bright eyes and white teeth, and her smile was particularly attractive.
"Who...is this?" The seven people were stunned.
"Our sister-in-law, the boss's girlfriend, you can just call her sister-in-law; please control your expressions, control them, don't act like people who have never seen the world." Cao Zheng walked past them, came to the front, and wiped away their astonished expressions one by one.
"My girlfriend's surname is Zhong." Yan Rushan pulled Zhong Yuxiu to Luo Lijun's side and introduced her to everyone.
Zhong Yuxiu greeted them with a smile, "Hello everyone, my name is Zhong Yuxiu, and I'm Yan Rushan's girlfriend. This is our first meeting, so please forgive me for any impoliteness."
"No, no." Someone hurriedly shook his head, not daring to respond. "You're Yan Da's target, so you're one of us. Come in first, and let's lock up the yard first."
"good."
As everyone entered the courtyard, the door was closed and everyone looked at her curiously; but no one spoke without permission. They were not familiar with Yan Rushan to the point of asking him questions, they were just partners.
They all knew that Luo San, Yan Da, Wu Er, Cheng Si, Cao Liu, and Lin Wu had not even told them their real names; the first time they were suitable was just a coincidence, but later they felt that they were good people, they were generous, and their temperament was very different from that of ordinary people like them. It was obvious that their families had some status.
We were all just hanging out there, so we didn't delve into it too deeply.
The same is true today.
They hadn't all been together from the beginning; many were recruited by Luo Lijun, Yan Rushan, Wu Chao, Cheng Minglang, Cao Zheng, and Lin Kai. These six individuals were the backbone of this group. After working with them for over six months, every business they'd gotten involved in had been a huge profit. They were able to avert any danger, and their power was so immense that following them would always yield significant profits.
"Everyone, please come in."
The group entered the main room, where an octagonal table was placed in the middle. The walls were filled with goods; large and small packages, some covered with oil paper, some wrapped in black cloth, were thrown into the corners at random.
"Sit down." Yan Rushan took a seat at the head of the table and pulled Zhong Yuxiu to sit down with him. Only then did he have the heart to ask, "Are the sewing machines, watches, and electrical appliances we mentioned last time all here?"
Someone stepped forward and said, "Yes, everything is in place."
"Then we can make a move after the New Year. The market can be opened after the fifth day of the New Year."
"Okay, we'll prepare in advance."
Yan Rushan nodded and waved his hand, "You guys go and do your work, we'll talk here for a while and lock the door when we leave."
The seven people said goodbye one after another. Luo Lijun and others saw them out and then turned back. The yard suddenly became deserted. Cao Zheng went to look through the goods. Lin Kai and Cheng Minglang sat down at the table. Luo Lijun glanced at Cao Zheng.
"What are you turning over?"
"Let me check if there are any problems with the quality of these goods. We do long-term business here. Eight out of ten customers are regular customers. We cannot hand over items with quality issues to them. That would make our business lose its credibility." Every time he opened a bag or lifted a piece of oil-paper cloth, he checked it very carefully.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and said that people nowadays are really simple and honest; unlike later generations, everything is fake, and as long as they can make money, no one cares about the quality.
"With such a mentality, you won't have to worry about your business growing big."
"Well, that's the good thing about Cao Laoliu. He's serious about his work." Yan Rushan was well aware of his brothers' strengths. "When we first received the first batch of goods, he was still worried and insisted on going with us to inspect the goods himself and deliver them back. He only gave up after three attempts."
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and looked at Cao Zheng repeatedly, "This is very good. You must never lose your integrity in business. If you want to make your life bigger and better in the future, you will definitely need him to check and approve it."
"Thank you for your kind words, sister-in-law." Cao Zheng narrowed his eyes and smiled, as if he was very happy to be recognized by Zhong Yuxiu.
"You're welcome, you deserve it." Zhong Yuxiu added, and the others laughed, especially Cao Zheng. As the person involved, he laughed more heartily than the others.
Yan Rushan narrowed his eyes and glanced at Cao Zheng; Cao Zheng grinned ingratiatingly and turned back to continue checking the goods.
Lin Kai said, "Boss, there are still many things in the warehouse. You can take my sister-in-law to have a look. If my sister-in-law likes something, just take it away. If you want something in the future, just tell us and we will send it to you."
"Thank you very much, but you still have to pay me. You can't do business at a loss." She is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. When the time comes, we will just deduct Dashan's money. We will not lose anything." Luo Lijun said in a relaxed tone with a hint of sarcasm. They had so much goods that they didn't care if Zhong Yuxiu took those few things. Others had the same idea, but they would not say it out loud.
Zhong Yuxiu turned to look at Yan Rushan, "Are your hands so loose?"
"That's definitely not the case! Whether you're lenient or not depends on the person; you're different. It's only a matter of time for you and the eldest brother, but as a family, we can just talk about money." Luo Lijun's face was full of smiles, and there was a lot of ambiguity and joking in his words.
Zhong Yuxiu's ears felt hot, and she looked up, only to see Yan Rushan also looking at her; their eyes met, her cheeks flushed, and Zhong Yuxiu coughed lightly and looked away.
"Well, let's go to your warehouse and take a look."
"Okay." Yan Rushan held her hand, good-tempered and patient; he led her out of the main hall and walked to the back. Although this courtyard is not big and inconspicuous, it actually has its own secrets.
There is a very large cellar dug under the courtyard house, which can be described as a basement; when the door of the basement is opened, the air inside is thin, and at a glance it is full of goods of all sizes. Except for a few aisles, there is no place to step.
Yan Rushan introduced the things to her one by one. Each item on the list represented a category of goods. Food, clothing and daily necessities were all available. After looking at the basement, she went to see the things in the warehouses above. The things there were no less than those in the basement.
From food to clothing, we have everything, with a full range of fabrics, including cotton, Dacron, braid...even fabrics from overseas.
