Master Xin immediately replied, "Don't worry, boss. Leave the black market to me. I guarantee I'll handle it perfectly without any mistakes. It's just that the price you mentioned is fair. Are we selling it for several times the price at the grain station?"
Based on market prices, anything appearing on the black market must be more than double the original price. That's the bare minimum. There's no need to take the risk for a small profit. Over the years, these various factions have raised the price to more than three times the original price, so he wasn't sure how his boss would set this price.
Zhu Fanfan said, "My supplier can sell to me at a low price, but the price cannot be much higher than the market price. She doesn't lack money; she just wants to help more people solve their basic needs. So you can decide what to do."
Master Xin understood: "I wonder what other conditions the boss's suppliers have?"
Zhu Fanfan thought for a moment and said, "Her identity is a bit sensitive, so she can't show her face. No one can be present when she delivers the goods. I will confirm the quantity with you before delivery. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. If you're looking to make money, you have to follow the rules. Contact me if you need anything."
Xinye could certainly do it, but he said somewhat ingratiatingly, "I know you're capable and have a powerful background, but we brothers are all out here to make a living. I'd like to ask how much money we should give to the brothers after we sell the goods?"
Zhu Fanfan had also thought about this problem: "I will provide the supplies. After deducting the cost, we will split the rest 30/70. I will get 30% and you will get 70%. You can decide how you split it yourselves, but everyone must make money. As the leader, you can't squeeze too much."
Although Master Xin has subordinates, she knows that Master Xin is not a very generous person. It's only because he has colleagues that he seems more loyal. Following him, you can eat meat and drink alcohol, but the money you save is worlds apart from his.
Master Xin chuckled twice: "Absolutely. These brothers are risking their futures by following me, so I will definitely not treat them unfairly."
To be honest, he started out working in the black market. The people he worked for before were really ruthless. They said they would protect him and make sure he wouldn't be bullied, and that they would cover for him if anything happened. But they would take 60% of his earnings. He also had to take care of other things, so he lived a miserable life himself. Naturally, he couldn't provide a good life for his brothers, so he was sometimes very stingy.
Things are different now. If he gets 70% of the profits, he can naturally provide a good life for his brothers. As long as his brothers are doing well, they won't leave even if you whip them, including the one-eyed dragon and Tiger's men whom he just recruited.
In retrospect, he still made a profit. Before, his protector not only took money but also guaranteed that he wouldn't be harassed while he was working. If there were any problems that couldn't be resolved and the protector had to step in, he would have to pay extra. When even the protector couldn't protect him, he would only be a victim, living in constant fear. But Zhu Fanfan seemed to be the kind of person who valued loyalty and wouldn't abandon him when he was in danger, which made him feel at ease.
Zhu Fanfan reminded him: "If you need anything, just contact me. Don't contact Uncle Qi. If you go to him, even if he agrees, don't blame me for being ruthless. He can't be brought down."
She was afraid that if the upcoming sports meet really started, a slight mistake could lead to utter ruin, and she couldn't gamble.
Xinye could do all of these things, so he readily agreed. After reaching an agreement on the important matters and discussing some details, the two parted ways and agreed to go to the trading point at 1 p.m. to trade grain. He also asked for two live pigs, one live cow, and fifty chickens, ducks, and rabbits. Zhu Fanfan readily agreed, thinking it would be a good opportunity to test the waters and see their capabilities.
After parting ways, Zhu Fanfan returned to the Fu family. After lunch, he went to the place he had agreed to meet with Master Xin to put out the grain. He put out 20,000 jin of grain first, and the empty ground was immediately filled. He put the chickens, ducks, pigs and cattle aside. But as soon as the animals came out of the space, they started howling. Zhu Fanfan had no choice but to knock them unconscious.
When the time came, Master Xin and his men arrived and their eyes lit up when they saw the pile of grain and meat. This was all money. They had already discussed how to make money: the more they sold, the more they earned. Now, there was no grain that couldn't be sold. These were their gods of wealth.
After the handover, Xin Ye was a little flustered: "Boss Mo, we don't have much money to spare right now, what do you think?"
Zhu Fanfan said, "Since I said I'd let you hold onto it for now, I will. You can pay me back after it's sold. I need to stay for a few more days."
Grandpa Xin was extremely grateful: "Don't worry, the grain may take a little longer, but the meat will be sold very soon. Wait for my good news."
Both parties left satisfied. Zhu Fanfan returned to the Fu family. She had been busy for the past few days and finally finished everything. She needed to rest well.
When they arrived at the Fu family's maternal grandmother's house, she was studying how to make pastries. When she saw Zhu Fanfan arrive, she pulled her along to work on the pastries with her. The two of them worked hard all afternoon and made a table full of pastries. However, there were only four people in the family, so it seemed that they would have to eat for several days. Since the Great Famine, they had not given any extra food to others, for fear that others would be envious and do something about it.
Especially with the upcoming sports event still just around the corner, Zhu Fanfan was constantly anxious, so she gave her grandfather a heads-up. Her grandfather has become much more low-key now, and her grandmother has also become more cautious.
In the evening, the family went to Xue Chenxi's new house, which was not far from the Fu family's house and could be reached on foot. The three of them received a warm welcome when they entered, especially Zhu Fanfan, who was held by Qi Ruyi the whole time and asked her about her well-being. Zhu Fanfan was confused because they had just met and there was no need for such hospitality.
Xue Chenxi watched from the side, covering her mouth and laughing. Her mother just liked girls, especially sweet-looking girls. She had absolutely no resistance to them and they were definitely more like her mother than her own mother.
Zhu Fanfan looked at the burly woman in front of her, who should have been a straightforward person, but was speaking to her in a low voice. She felt awkward, but she wasn't uncomfortable with this situation. After all, the military area was full of real men, and she was used to them all speaking to her in a low voice. Aunt Qi didn't seem so out of place to her either.
Seeing that the Qi family genuinely cared for their granddaughter, the maternal grandparents were naturally satisfied and offered to give Chenxi an extra dowry. However, Qi Ruyi refused, saying that her family only cared about Xue Chenxi as a person and did not value material possessions. Besides, the house and the 20,000 yuan dowry were already quite generous.
The meal was a great success, and everyone was in high spirits as it ended. The three members of the Fu family were still happy even after they got home, all rejoicing that Xue Chenxi had found her happy ending.
Zhu Fanfan was suddenly awakened in the middle of the night with palpitations. She took her pulse and everything was normal, but her heart was beating so hard that it wouldn't calm down for a long time, which made her feel very uneasy. Grandpa Dan had said that people with extraordinary mental strength are more sensitive to their surroundings, and their bodies would send out warnings if there were any changes in their lives. She was a little scared.
