Chu Tian listened to what they said and couldn't help but said, "When you go back, you can tell your sisters-in-law and ask them to buy it openly in the future."
The director of the brick factory immediately looked at Chu Tian, "Chu Tian, what do you mean?"
Chu Tian smiled. "Someone I know in Beijing told me in September that the higher-ups had already held a meeting and that free trade would be fully restored starting in October of this year. No one would be allowed to arrest buyers and sellers anymore. In the future, the black market would be replaced by the white market, and there would be no need to be so secretive..."
"I didn't believe it at the time, but after October, I went to the black market and found that they really weren't regulated. It's just that some people are still afraid and don't dare to trade openly..."
Upon hearing this, several directors looked at each other and fell silent at the same time. After a long time, they said one by one that they would go back and report to the factory director to see what the lowest price he would approve was.
Chu Tian and Chu Min looked at each other and saw smiles in each other's eyes. They both raised their glasses and clinked them with the four people.
"Don't worry, once our construction company is established and we have enough food to eat in the future, we won't forget you."
They were not fools. Chu Tian and Chu Min said so. They all understood what he meant. They drank the wine in their glasses tacitly. They were all thinking about how to get their factory director to give the lowest price. After all, the goods were public property. Whether the government made money or not was not worth mentioning compared with the money they could put in their pockets...
After seeing the four people off, Chu Tian straightened his military coat and looked at Chu Min beside him, "Second brother, shall we go too? Let's go to Xinda first..."
Chu Min put on gloves, pushed the bicycle against the wall, and didn't ask why they were going. Instead, he nodded and said, "Let's go."
Since we have invited them, we cannot leave out the sales director of the steel plant. The next day is Friday, and Yao Youjun and his wife have two days off, Saturday and Sunday. The last time they took a break, they went back to the Yao family, so this time they must go back to the steel plant.
So, yesterday afternoon he went to the university and made an agreement with Yao Youjun, asking him to tell his father-in-law when he and Liu Jiali returned to the steel plant today that he wanted to invite the director of the sales department to dinner on Saturday.
The days passed like sand in the hand, and a month passed in the blink of an eye. In just one month, the outside world had changed. Now there was no need to hide when buying and selling things on the black market.
Seeing that the shop on the first floor had been painted, Chu Tian prepared to quit his job in the transport team.
Director Li looked at Chu Tian and advised him earnestly, "Chu Tian, don't you think about it again? You can't just get a job in the transport team if you want to."
Chu Tian smiled and shook his head slightly, "Don't worry, Director Li. I've dreamed of doing business since I was a child. Before, the conditions didn't allow it. Now that the country has allowed it, I plan to realize my previous dream."
Director Li's mouth twitched. He thought, "Are you kidding me?" How many truck drivers don't do business behind closed doors?
Chu Tian grinned and said, "Alright, Director Li, please stop trying to persuade me. I'm not interested in this, and staying here will only waste time."
Director Li sighed, took out a seal from the drawer, stamped it on Chu Tian's resignation application, then picked up the resignation application and handed it to Chu Tian. After he took it, he spoke again.
"Whenever you regret it, come find me again. As long as I'm here, there will always be a place for you in the transport team."
"Director Li, thank you for taking care of me over the years."
Chu Tian was really grateful to Director Li. Both he and Captain Meng took good care of him, so he appreciated their kindness. In the future, whenever they asked him for help, he would help them in any way he could.
When he walked out of Director Li's office, he ran into Captain Meng. Captain Meng looked at the resignation application in Chu Tian's hand, which had been stamped. Without saying much, he just patted him on the shoulder and walked into Director Li's office.
"Master, you resigned?"
Chu Tian was packing up his personal belongings on his desk with his head down. He looked at Zuo Zhuang who was approaching him and nodded, his hands moving non-stop. "Well, I quit..."
Zuo Zhuang's eyes lit up, "Then I'll resign now..."
Chu Tian grabbed him and said, seeing his puzzled expression, "Don't worry. My second brother is also going to resign after he comes back from driving. If you resign now, our second team will be left without anyone. Why don't you wait until after the New Year when the two apprentices are hired as regular employees before resigning?"
“····”
Although he was reluctant, Zuo Zhuang nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll wait until after the New Year."
Seeing his unhappy face, Chu Tian smiled and whispered, "It's no use if you quit now. I've already found out that registration won't start until July or August next year. I want to quit early because, first, I need to clean up my house in the city, and second, I need to go out..."
Zuo Zhuang was curious, "Going out? Where to go? To the mouth?"
Chu Tian thought for a moment and said, "I haven't decided where to go yet. I'll check the train tickets when the time comes. I'll go to whichever place I buy the tickets for first!"
Zuo Zhuang, “…”
After resigning, Chu Tian did not wait until the New Year, but went to the city the next day to buy a train ticket to Sichuan Province. He took the train directly to Sichuan Province and stayed with Wang Long for ten days. During these ten days, he collected a lot of dried goods, grapefruits and other seasonal fruits.
On the last night in Sichuan Province, Chu Tian and Wang Long sat by the fire in the house, warming themselves and chatting.
"Wang Long, I heard from your mother that you bought a courtyard house in the city?"
Wang Long nodded. "Well, I heard you say before that houses in the city will become more and more expensive in the future. Just last month I spent over five hundred to buy a yard..."
"You don't know, I spent over five hundred dollars to buy a shabby yard, and my uncles and aunts almost ruined it. They all said I was stupid. Luckily, my mother and my husband supported me very much!"
Chu Tian smiled, "You did the right thing. You hear a lot about more than 500 now, but in fact it will not mean anything in the future."
Wang Long's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Brother Chu, I knew you would support me. I've picked out another house with a brick structure. It's not as big as the one I bought, but it's quite close to the train station, probably less than 500 meters away!"
Chu Tian raised his eyebrows and said, "Buy it. Don't worry about what brick it is made of or the area. Just look at the location and it's worth buying."
Wang Long scratched his head embarrassedly, "I know, but the price is a bit high, so I'm a little hesitant..."
"How many?"
"It'll cost a thousand!"
"It's not expensive. I advise you to buy it, otherwise you will regret it later!"
"Okay, then I'll go talk to the landlord after I drop you off tomorrow."
"Um."
Chu Tian likes people who listen to what others say and have enough to eat. As for those who talk nonsense now, they will regret it in the future.
