The little old man smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "It's easy to talk about. To be honest, young man, I admire you very much. I want to ask you something personal. Have you gotten married?"
Lingchuan nodded, "We are married, and my wife is still studying and preparing to take the college entrance examination next year. I am working hard to make money so that I can support her in college in the future."
There was some regret on the little old man's face, "I have no children, only two daughters. The eldest daughter got married two years ago, and the younger daughter is still single.
I'm thinking of recruiting a son-in-law for her. To be honest, I fell in love with you at first sight, but it's a pity that you already have a family."
Lingchuan originally just wanted to ask the other party for business advice, but he didn't expect that the other party only wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law, which made him feel embarrassed for a while.
"Uncle, thank you for your love. I, I love my wife. I will only recognize her as a woman in my life."
I originally thought that the little old man would be unhappy after being rejected by me, but he didn't want the other person to laugh and say, "It's okay, we are destined to meet each other. I'll just treat him as a little brother."
"It is also an honor for us brothers to be guided by you."
After hearing this, the little old man looked at Ling Jiang subconsciously and said, "What, you two are brothers? Damn it, I wouldn't have noticed if you didn't tell me, you two look a bit similar."
Lingchuan introduced Ling Jiang to the other party, "This is my eldest brother. We are the only two brothers in our family."
"How are you two brothers?"
The little old man looked up and down at Ling Jiang with a smile, his eyes showing a bit of satisfaction, "Is your eldest brother married?"
Before Lingchuan could speak, Ling Jiang rushed to answer, "It's done, my son...my daughter is already 6 years old."
"Oh, you only have a daughter?"
Ling Jiang was stunned for a moment by the question, and then nodded vaguely, "Ah."
Afraid of mentioning his eldest brother's sadness, Lingchuan quickly changed the subject: "Uncle, where are you from?"
"I'm from northern Shaanxi..."
I learned from chatting that the little old man’s surname is Rong, and his full name is Rong Zhengchang. He is 46 years old and runs a clothing stall in his hometown county.
"Brother Ling, are you going back like this this time?"
"Well, we'll go directly to the train station in a moment."
Rong Zhengchang moved closer to him and whispered: "If you believe me, stay one more day and I will take you to a place with good goods tomorrow."
Lingchuan brought a total payment of 5,000 yuan this time, but now he only received 2,000 yuan, and he still had 3,000 yuan left with him. He was somewhat unwilling to go back like this.
When I heard what the other party said, I couldn't help but think, "What kind of product is it?"
"Cotton coats, jackets, and, if you're lucky, down jackets and coats, all of which are original products exported to foreign trade. The quality is outstanding. It's much colder this year than last year. Taking these things back is as easy to sell as picking up money.
.”
Lingchuan was not dazzled by what the other party said, "Uncle Chang, to be honest, I brought a total of more than two thousand yuan with me when I went out this time. After paying for this batch of goods, I only had a little traveling expenses left.
"
Rong Zhengchang felt a little regretful, "Then there's nothing we can do. Okay, I'll make you rich next time."
With that said, Rong Zhengchang put his hand into the inner pocket of his coat and fumbled for a long time before he took out a piece of paper the size of a matchbox and handed it to Ling Chuan.
"This is my home phone number. Brother Ling, please keep it. If you need anything in the future, you can contact me."
Lingchuan took the piece of paper with body temperature and looked at a series of numbers crookedly written on it with a ballpoint pen, feeling slightly ashamed in his heart.
"Uncle Chang, can I go to the factory with you tomorrow to have a look? If the goods are good, I will think of a way to find an acquaintance to raise some money and take a batch of goods back to try."
"Okay, come with me tomorrow to have a look. If you think there's something wrong, you can go get the money."
After a while, small trucks came one after another, and Rong Zhengchang also stopped chatting and returned to his area to prepare for loading.
Seeing that there were only two people on Rong Zhengchang's side, Lingchuan asked Ling Jiang to look at the goods behind him while he ran over to help.
Rong Zhengchang didn't have a lot of goods, just about ten sacks. With Lingchuan's help, he packed them all in just a few strokes.
"Brother Ling, I'll be waiting for you at the intersection ahead at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning."
"good."
Rong Zhengchang left, and Shi Xiu and Deng Wenbin came back with a small truck.
After loading the goods and arriving at the factory gate, Lingchuan handed the bill of lading in his hand to the security guard responsible for opening the door.
After the security guard read the list, he stood up and walked out of the security room, walked around the small truck, and asked Lingchuan to unload all the goods in the truck.
The goods that had just been loaded were turned around and asked to be unloaded again. Lingchuan was naturally unwilling.
"We paid for these goods, the receipt is here, why do we need to unload them?"
The security guard raised his head and looked at him sideways, "Your bill of lading says 27 bags, but I see there are more than 27 bags in your truck. Unload them all. I want to count them!"
Now that things have come to this, what Lingchuan still doesn't understand is that the steward has a grudge against him, so he deliberately makes things difficult for him.
It was getting late, and it would get dark if we delayed any longer. Lingchuan had no choice but to swallow his nerve and call Ling Jiang and Deng Wenbin to start unloading the goods.
Three people, one delivered the goods in the car, one received it below, and one was responsible for moving to the open space next to it. They cooperated tacitly and unloaded all 27 bags of goods without much effort.
Seeing that they had finished unloading, the security guard began to count loudly, "1, 2, 3...27."
Huh? Why are there only 27 bags?
The security guard didn't believe in evil and started counting from the beginning, but after counting, there were still only 27 bags.
"Why are there only 27 bags!?"
Facing the security guard's angry questioning, Lingchuan pretended to be confused, "What's wrong with 27 bags?"
The security guard was left speechless by the rhetorical question, but soon he also discovered something was wrong with these sacks.
Regular large factories like theirs use professional sealing thread for sealing, but these sacks are tied casually with cotton rope.
"Have you dismantled all these goods?"
"Can't I dismantle the goods I paid for?"
"Of course not. Items that have not left the factory cannot be opened without permission. This is the factory's rule!"
"But we have already demolished it, what should we do now?"
The security guard sneered, "All goods that have been unsealed privately need to be detained and can only be released after strict inspection."
Lingchuan's heart sank.
He managed to avoid the deceit and schemes of the manager, but he still got caught by his pigtails.
"How long will the detention inspection take?"
"It could be as short as two or three days, or as long as ten days and half a month."
When they heard that their goods would be detained for so long, Shi Xiu on the side came forward to help him say something nice, "Brother, can you be accommodating? My three little brothers came from Jiang City and are waiting to
I really can’t wait that long to take the goods back for delivery.”
The security guard raised his nostrils in an arrogant tone, "I don't care about you, but I'm doing things according to the rules anyway!"
Seeing that the security guard was deliberately making things difficult, Ling Jiang also aroused some anger in his heart, "Your people didn't make it clear. We didn't know there was this regulation at all, and the seals of the cars that went out earlier had also been removed.
Why don’t they detain it?”
"Then I don't know. I only see that your goods have problems. If there are problems, they must be detained. It's useless to say anything!"
