Chapter 91 Big Bug
Xia Zhizhi was still a little hesitant, as if she was thinking about Zhang Ming: "I remember that the coal quota for the educated youth is supplied together with the village. Will this make it difficult for Section Chief Zhang?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Just write a note and say that we are taking care of the educated youth. No one will say anything. Besides, this policy has always existed." It's just that coal was in short supply in previous years, and the educated youth didn't look for it themselves, so they just pretended that nothing happened.
Zhang Ming did not elaborate further. He went to look through the drawers and found a supply list. He said to her, "Xia Zhiqing, please stay here for a while. I will stamp it."
Then I took it to another office to get it stamped.
Xia Zhizhi was sitting in the office, crossing her legs and waiting contentedly.
Zhang Ming came back after a while, holding a pen and asked her: "Xia Zhiqing, how much coal do you want?"
The more the better, of course!
Xia Zhizhi said, "I don't know how much we can supply to our educated youth camp. To be honest, besides my own needs, there are also a few new educated youths who are planning to get some. After all, they have only been here for a short time and are too busy to go to work, so they don't have time to collect firewood."
Zhang Ming thought for a moment and said, "There are probably about 20 educated youth in your village. The most we can give them is three tons each, no more."
At this time, a ton of coal costs 23.6 yuan. Xia Zhizhi took the bill to the finance office and paid the money. 70.8 yuan for 3 tons, enough for the whole family to spend the winter comfortably. Except for her, a spendthrift, normal families would not afford to burn coal like this.
After paying the fee, she went to Zhang Ming with a clear conscience: "Chief Zhang, the amount of coal is a bit too much, and it's not easy for me to get it back..."
Zhang Ming accepted a favor from her boss, so it was a small matter, so he naturally took it easy. He said, "Don't worry, I'll find someone to help you deliver it. When do you think they can deliver it?"
"The coal shed has not been built these two days. Chief Zhang, please find someone to deliver it to me in a week. I think I have finished writing the manuscript, so I will ask them to bring it to you on the way." In a week or so, it will be the busy time for autumn harvest, and hauling coal to the educated youth site will not attract too much attention.
Thinking that Zhang Ming would use the tractor from the coal yard to deliver coal to her, she left three yuan for fuel expenses. Zhang Ming accepted her favor and helped her, which she felt was his duty, but she still had to pay for it herself.
Before leaving, he found the guard room boss and handed him a few packs of cigarettes: "Boss, can I ask you for a favor?"
The master didn't answer and asked, "What's the matter?"
He also has principles. He helps when he can, but he won't blindly agree to help when he can't.
"It's not a big deal. Section Chief Zhang will ask someone to load coal for me in a couple of days. Can you help me out and ask the master to load more coal for me?"
"Okay, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it for you." The security guard took the cigarette and put it in his pocket. It was not a big deal. He divided the cigarette into two packs and gave them to the master, and just gave him some instructions.
The coal is piled together in piles, with coal lumps rolling underneath, so it is not a big deal to load more coal lumps.
There's still time to finish the urgent things.
The streets are quite quiet today, there are no parades.
She found an empty corner, changed into disguise and came out.
It is easier to pretend when the weather is cool. If the weather is too hot, putting on layer after layer of clothes will not only make you hot, but others will also think you are crazy.
She was still the same old third girl, but this time she brought Ah Ju out, a skinny little man, with a tall, strong, ferocious-looking man.
The two took the bus to Mudanjiang Park.
Because there are many factories in Mudanjiang and everyone has money, there are many bicycles on the road, and it is quite congested at noon and during rush hours. It is really catching up with the later generations.
We got off at the Park Station and took Ah Ju straight to the shantytown, paid the money and entered a yard.
The scale of the black market here is not as big as that at the machinery factory. Its scale is average among the several black market groups in Mudanjiang.
The advantage is that the leader is honest and righteous, has a good reputation, and is honest to everyone.
Who is Xia Zhizhi? She doesn't care about the small business of a few thousand or eight hundred yuan now. She is too lazy to run here every few days. It would be better for her to find a reliable one to become a mysterious supplier.
In fact, she could live well without coming to the black market, but her space was filled with countless zero-dollar purchases, and she had to find a place to sell them.
To put it bluntly, some things are just like garbage when left in a space, but they are quite valuable when taken out, and can also improve the situation where people have money but cannot buy things due to tight supply. Why not do it?
The most important thing is that she has strong fists, otherwise she would not take the risk.
The leader's nickname is Big Bug. One can tell at a glance that he has good food and is big and plump. After dealing with him, I found that he is just as the rumors say.
Xia Zhizhi sold him some of the garbage she had sorted out during this period, as well as the food and oil she had stockpiled before the end of the world, intending to exchange them for more old items and jewelry to save her the trouble of searching for them herself.
Da Chong looked at the samples that Ah Ju brought back, and his eyes lit up. After the two of them had agreed on the price and reported the quantity, Da Chong rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Jia, I really want to buy this batch of goods, but the quantity is too large, and I can't pay for it right away..."
"What does Brother Da Chong mean? I have a bunch of brothers waiting for dinner here. If I give the goods but don't bring the money back, it won't work..." Xia Zhizhi told him directly that it was impossible to collect the debt.
"No, no." Da Chong waved his hands. How could he possibly make a profit on this first business deal? "What I mean is, Brother Jia, let's do the deal in two days. Give me some time, and I'll go and catch up."
"Okay, let's do the deal in five days. Let's do it at night, in the small woods near the lake on the west side of the park."
"Then let's make a deal. Brother Jia, you have to give me this batch of goods for a few more days. Don't wait until I have collected enough money, or you won't be able to exchange the goods. Brother Jia, you also know that we all have a group of brothers to support." It's no wonder that Da Chong was worried. With so much money to pay for the goods, their small group, including the money in the pockets of their network of relationships and the inventory at home, would have to collect it all cleanly, and they might even have to borrow some from outside.
It would be a joke if everyone worked so hard to get the things together and the transaction failed.
But he did not want to exaggerate. After all, the one selling the things was the master. As long as the goods were good, many people would beg him to buy them.
Xia Zhizhi understood his concerns and patted the backpack she brought with her generously: "The things in here will serve as a deposit."
Even though it's just a backpack, those watches alone are worth a lot of money.
"Brother Jia is so generous!" The insect's heart was relieved. "Thank you for your trust, brother. I will write a letter for you."
After saying that, he took out a pen and paper, wrote a document and pressed his fingerprints. He was probably afraid that Xia Zhizhi would worry, so he said, "Don't worry, brother Jia. My whole family is here. Ask around and everyone around will know. He can't run away!"
