Li Gang greeted the man who was about to collect the money and said, "Qiangzi, this is my brother. Don't accept money from him next time you see him."
The man named Qiangzi looked at Chu Tian's appearance carefully and nodded immediately, "Brother Gang, I remember it."
Li Gang smiled and put his arm around Chu Tian's shoulders, and was about to walk into the black market. As he walked, he said, "Brother, what good stuff are you here to sell today?"
"What do you think I will sell, Brother Li Gang?"
Chu Tian was not surprised at all that Li Gang knew that Chu Tian had good stuff. After all, he had been to the black market in Tuanchang twice and sold good stuff. Especially since he was targeted the second time, it would be easy for the people in charge of the black market to find out...
Li Gang glanced at Chu Tian and laughed. Seeing that everyone in the black market was looking at them, he leaned close to him and whispered, "Brother, you see, it's the same if you sell it to someone else, why don't you sell it to me? I won't treat you unfairly..."
He said this because he saw that what Chu Tian sold was really good and the price was really not high. A kilogram of high-quality rice and flour was sold at the price of ordinary white flour and rice, and the price of rapeseed oil and noodles was also relatively low. When he knew about it, he was really heartbroken. If he took it to other production teams or the black market in the city to sell it, he could earn at least twice the price, especially now that it was not long before the Chinese New Year.
Chu Tian didn't want to go to the black market often. Even if he asked Sun Weiguo to help him sell supplies in the future, he would not let Sun Weiguo come often. After all, in this era of speculation and profiteering, if he was caught, the consequences would be so great that Chu Tian couldn't even think about it...
However, after listening to Li Gang's proposal, even though he was very willing in his heart, he still showed a conflicted expression, "This, this..."
Seeing that Chu Tian didn't refuse outright but had a conflicted expression on his face, Li Gang pressed the issue, "Brother, I'm not going to lie to you. Our business is huge. Although I'm only in charge of the black market business of our Red Flag Corps, our boss's business is very extensive. For example, several black markets in Wushi are managed by my boss himself. As for the several cities nearby, as well as the counties and farms under it, he is also involved in them."
"As for why my boss has become so successful, you should understand without me having to explain it clearly. Without strong connections, it wouldn't be possible. So, if you do business with us, you can rest assured that it's safe. Nothing will happen..."
Chu Tian pretended to be confused for a while before answering, "Brother Li Gang, you are a straightforward person. I won't lie to you anymore."
"I can sell the goods to you, but you can't ask me where they come from, because my supplier doesn't want anyone to know about him..."
Li Gang waved his hands when he heard this. "Hey, brother, we have our own black market rules. We never ask where the goods come from, so you can rest assured."
Chu Tian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, thinking, "Is there such a rule?" But he said, "Then, how do I sell it?"
"Come with me."
Turning left and right, Li Gang brought Chu Tian to a low-key-looking courtyard gate, walked up and knocked twice.
"Who is it?"
Li Gang, "The sheep on the team gave birth..."
The door creaked open a crack, revealing the face of a young man about fifteen or sixteen. Seeing that the person knocking on the door was Li Gang, his eyes lit up instantly, "Brother Gang, you're here..."
He glanced at Chu Tian behind Li Gang again, his eyes filled with vigilance, "Brother Gang, who is this?"
Li Gang smiled and said, "I'm here to discuss business, don't worry."
The young man suddenly realized that the vigilance in his eyes disappeared. Anyone who was brought by Brother Li Gang to discuss business was trustworthy.
“Come in quickly…”
As he said this, he stepped aside and motioned Li Gang and Chu Tian who was standing behind Li Gang to come in together.
Chu Tian discovered that the yard didn't look very big from the outside, but it was quite big when he walked in. Looking at the front yard, it seemed to be about three or four hundred square meters in size. However, because the ground was covered with snow, he couldn't tell much about it. He just felt that the yard was not small.
"Brother Chu, please sit down."
Li Gang took Chu Tian into the main room and pointed to a bench for Chu Tian to sit down.
"Why···"
Chu Tian put down the backpack on his back and sat down. Before entering the black market, he only took a few things from the space and put them in the backpack, but after hearing that Li Gang wanted to do business with him, he took advantage of Li Gang's inattention and put a lot of good things in with his mind.
Li Gang glanced at the young man who had walked in with him. Seeing that he had closed the door to the main room, he continued, "Brother Chu, what are you planning to sell today? Can you show it to me first?"
Chu Tian quickly took the backpack beside him and lifted the cloth covering the door. "Nothing special here, just some rice, flour, noodles, rapeseed oil, five kilograms of pork, and a padded military coat."
Although the other items were also good, none of them were as eye-catching as the army green coat in front of him. Li Gang rubbed his hands and carefully touched it, saying in disbelief, "Brother Chu, how could you bear to sell such a rare thing?"
Chu Tian smiled innocently and said nothing.
Li Gang didn't mind, but picked it up and examined it again and again, and put it down reluctantly after a while. "Brother Chu, how are you going to sell this military coat?"
Chu Tian blinked his eyes. "Hey, Brother Li Gang, what's your price?"
Li Gang was a little confused about Chu Tian's intentions. Did he really not know the price of the military coat? Or was he pretending not to know?
By the way, he had collected military coats before. After all, there was not much in the Northwest except for various production and construction corps scattered in every corner. Although most of the people in the corps were here to build the frontier or were veterans, there were not many active soldiers. But just because there were not many did not mean there were none. Some team members' families had received military coats or uniforms when they served in the army, and they were reluctant to wear them themselves, so they sold them to supplement their family income.
The military coats he collected were basically around fifty dollars each, with the highest price being just over sixty. However, all the other military coats combined were not as good as the one in front of him, so he really didn't know how much to pay.
After thinking for a moment, Li Ganggang said, "The price of military coats on the black market is only fifty or sixty, but yours is really good quality and the color is bright. Hmm, how about eighty?"
Chu Tian smiled and said, "One hundred."
Li Gang was shocked, "Brother Chu, this, this one hundred is also..."
Chu Tian was unmoved. "Brother Li Gang, I'm only willing to sell it for 100 yuan because I know you. If it were someone else, it would be at least 120 yuan."
"But don't think a hundred is too much. You must have received many military coats before and know their quality. Do the coats you received before compare to this one of mine?"
"You can take a closer look at the workmanship, the fabric, and the thickness of this military coat. If you sell it in the city, I wouldn't say it can sell for two hundred, but it will definitely sell for one hundred and fifty or sixty."
