Chapter 23 Black Market Cooperation
Buying stamps took a while, but that’s not a problem. The most important thing is to find a suitable place.
After going around in circles, I finally found a place that suits my taste.
It is remote enough, in a certain place, with few people nearby and enough open space around.
That's it.
Pushing the door open, except for the main road paved with stones, which is an obvious road leading to the main house, other places are overgrown with weeds, indicating that no one has set foot here for a long time.
The house is a bit dilapidated, probably due to being in disrepair for a long time. The gate also looks shaky, and it can be seen that this must have been a small courtyard of a wealthy family in the past.
After walking into the main house, he took out a broom and other tools from the space, preparing to clean up a place to put his things.
When I came out of the dilapidated courtyard again, two full hours had passed.
Went back to the guesthouse and prepared some retail items again. I didn’t prepare much this time, and my purpose wasn’t to sell these.
How could the boss behind the black market not know what new and good goods there are? I would definitely ask my younger brothers to keep an eye on the market at ordinary times. This little bit of rice and flour is just a stepping stone. If the people behind notice Jun Qingqing, then the goal will be achieved.
He continued to practice in the space, and occasionally went to the mountains to practice with the beasts. By the time we got out of the space, it was already past three in the morning of the next day.
She disguised herself as a middle-aged woman again, this time with the intention of meeting the black market boss, so she carried a cloth bag on her body. There were some small things inside.
Knock on the door, give money, and set up the stall in a familiar way.
As expected, not long after I showed up, a young man came over.
"Big sister, I'll take care of all the goods for you today. Would you mind going inside to have a cup of tea?"
His attitude is sincere and his smile is kind, and it is this smile, coupled with the sparkle in his eyes, that seems so incongruous no matter how you look at it.
Following his gaze, I saw that his bright eyes were staring at the rice and flour in the basket.
I think I am so charming. Even with all this makeup on, I can still be discovered by others. It seems that his eyes sparkled when he saw the rice and flour.
I looked at the young man with admiration, thinking that he had good taste and knew that I had good stuff.
I handed the woven basket to the young man and followed him through many twists and turns until I reached a gate connected to the black market.
There were three long and three short knocks on the door.
The door was opened a crack from the inside, and after seeing the young men outside, the door was opened to let the two people in.
When I entered the house, there were three people sitting inside. One of them had a shaved head and looked like he was not someone who could be messed with. The other one was dressed in shorts and had long scars on his face. The last one is a man with a very gentle appearance. White shirt, dark blue cloth pants, black leather shoes. The appearance of a cultured young man. If it weren't for the seating arrangement, you would never have guessed that this guy who looks like a weak scholar is the one who has the final say among the group.
Brother Shusheng spoke up at this moment: "Sister, my name is Zhang Deren, please give me some respect and call me Brother Ren. I see that the things you brought these two days are all good stuff. I wonder if you can sell them in large quantities."
"You're welcome. My name is Mr. Shen. I do intend to sell a large number of products. It depends on whether you are willing to take them."
As he spoke, he casually tapped the table with his fingers.
"Okay, then we'll establish a relationship and call you Sister Jun. The rice and noodles you have are indeed good, but the variety is a bit limited."
Oh my goodness, it seems my hot temper is looked down upon. Although great power was brewing in his heart, he looked calm on the outside.
"Just now the young man called me over and said he could have a sip of hot tea. It's been such a long time, but I haven't even seen a teacup. It seems I really have to bring my own. It just so happens that I brought my own tea. Can I borrow a teacup and hot water? It's not for nothing. I'll give the remaining tea to Brother Ren as a token of my appreciation. I have quite a few of these high-quality items here."
The young man who had just brought Jun Qingqing in went inside to make tea immediately. In just a short while, a teacup was placed in front of each of the four people, and the fresh aroma of tea wafted into the air.
"Big sister, this is good tea."
This Tieguanyin of later generations, considered as a good tea in this era, isn’t it?
While drinking tea, Jun Qingqing also stated the purpose of her visit. I have goods and hope to sell them. If the cooperation is pleasant, it can also be long-term.
While speaking, his hands were not idle, taking things out of the cloth bag. There were a few apples, oranges, bananas, a bottle of milk powder wrapped in paper, and a watch.
"There are some goods that are not suitable to carry with you. It will depend on your sincerity when the time comes."
Obviously, except Jun Qingqing, all the other five people in the room were quite excited.
But Zhang Deren is still the boss after all, and he quickly recovered.
"Okay, this is our first cooperation, so I'll give it a try. I need 2,000 kilograms of flour and rice each, 100 cans of milk powder, 100 kilograms of each of the fruits you picked out, and give me ten yuan for the watch."
"Okay, rice and flour are all 50 cents a pound, milk powder is 8 yuan a can, and watches are 120 yuan. Fruits of all kinds are 25 cents a pound. At 12 noon, go to the yard a few hundred meters ahead at the end of West Street."
"In addition, I have old items that can be used as payment. I will go and prepare the stock first, so you guys stay here."
After walking out of the courtyard where several people were, Jun Qingqing did not leave immediately, but instead released her mental power to listen to the conversation between several people in the room.
"Brother Ren, should we send someone to follow?"
"You are confused. Not to mention that we in the black market always adhere to the principle of not asking the origin of goods, and you think that someone who can come to the black market alone, with a large amount of goods in hand, and come prepared for cooperation, can be an ordinary person."
Several people thought so too. But the energetic young man who led Jun Qingqing here still looked confused: "Brother Ren, why did she come here for cooperation? Didn't we ask her to come here?"
"You're such a fool. We did hire her. That's her genius. Didn't you see that the goods are much less today? She wasn't in a hurry to sell them after she came in, and look at the things in her bag. She came prepared."
The energetic young man suddenly realized. Love is waiting for us specially.
"So, if we can successfully establish a trading relationship with this lady, will we still be short of good stuff in the future? Go ahead and think about it yourself."
After he finished speaking, I could hear this brother drinking tea, and he cheerfully commented as he drank, "This is really good tea."
Jun Qingqing felt relieved after hearing this. Fortunately, Zhang Deren is sensible. It seems that unless there are major changes, the sales of goods will be able to stabilize in the future.
