Liu Da and Li Xiangyang got up early the next day. They carried the goods to the guest room where Lin Lan lived, tied the bags tightly, and then went downstairs to eat.
Liu Da ordered peanut and pork bone porridge, siomai, and big buns. Lin Lan took out the mushroom sauce and fermented bean curd that he brought, and the three of them had a comfortable breakfast.
Liu Da said to Li Xiangyang: "Let's go to the warehouse. Lin Lan will stay here. When the Red Army arrives, let him drive to the warehouse."
Lin Lan nodded cheerfully: "Okay, you go, I'll wait for the Red Army and the others here."
Liu Da and Li Xiangyang stood up and walked towards the door. Li Xiangyang thought about it and turned back to worry about it and told Lin Lan: "Xiaolan, we won't come back until the afternoon. If you are hungry, go downstairs and eat by yourself."
Seeing Liu Da's joking smile, Lin Lan glared at him angrily: "I know."
Li Xiangyang and Liu Da left the guest house and walked towards the train station.
Liu Da told Li Xiangyang that the man he contacted was named Zhang Zemin, who was also from Sichuan Province. He seemed to be honest, but he was actually very shrewd. He tried to trick Zhang Zemin several times, but he could not find out who got the goods for him.
.
But the price of his goods was cheaper than those selling parallel imports. Liu Da felt that someone from Zhang Zemin's family was at the customs, so he had a way to get the goods confiscated by the customs.
Li Xiangyang whispered: "The clothes in Yangcheng are so cheap. Department stores and clothing factories purchase more, and the price should be cheaper than ours. Why do they need to pay for it when they sell it so expensive?"
"The styles I saw in the department store are not as good as those of you and Xiao Linjin."
Liu Da said, lit a cigarette and handed it to Li Xiangyang: "Think about it, they raise so many people, the buyer who purchases the goods scrapes a layer of skin, and the person above scrapes another layer, cuts the skin layer by layer, and finally displays it.
The price, even a piece of homespun cloth costs three yuan."
Li Xiangyang thought for a while and it was really like this. He raised pigs and slaughtered them himself, and had to tap heads for the slaughterhouse. However, the profit for each pig sold was higher than that of the slaughterhouse.
When the two of them arrived at the train station, a short, plain-looking, honest-looking middle-aged man waved to Liu Da.
Liu Da stepped forward with a smile, looked at him and said, "Brother Zeming, have you been waiting for a long time?"
Zhang Zemin smiled honestly: "I just arrived a while ago." He looked at Li Xiangyang and asked, "Who is this?"
Liu Da said: "Li Xiangyang is my nephew."
Li Xiangyang smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Uncle Zhang."
Zhang Zemin smiled and shook hands with Li Xiangyang, and took the two of them onto a sidecar motorcycle. They rode the bicycle through several streets and arrived at a small courtyard. They got off the car and opened the door.
The two of them entered the courtyard.
Zhang Zemin closed the courtyard door and said to Liu Da: "Old Liu, the goods this time are particularly good. I guarantee you will be satisfied after seeing them."
Liu Da smiled and nodded: "Good goods are easy to sell."
Zhang Zemin took out the key and opened a side room. When he opened the door, Li Xiangyang saw that it was filled with cardboard boxes and wooden boxes.
"Lao Liu, last time you said you wanted big items, I got you a refrigerator and a few color TVs... There were so many people asking for motorcycles, I only got five."
"Thank you, thank you!" Liu Da thanked him happily. The five motorcycles exceeded his expectations.
Zhang Zemin said, taking out the bill of goods: "Look at the price, I'll show the goods to Brother Li."
"Okay." Liu Da took the order and said to Li Xiangyang, "Take a look, I asked Lao Zhang to help you get some quartz watches, mechanical watches, tape recorders, radios..."
Zhang Zemin was also willing to deal with them and said with a smile: "In fact, small things are easy to get. Next time, you have to tell me in advance and I will help you get it."
"Uncle Zhang, please."
Zhang Zemin opened three small cartons, which contained mechanical watches, electronic watches and quartz watches. Then he opened a large box which contained a Sanyo single-card recorder. He told Li Xiangyang that there were five boxes of four tape recorders in each box, followed by radios.
, hair dryers, quartz clocks, and some computer and watch batteries.
Li Xiangyang was dazzled by what he saw. He never dreamed that the things that require tickets to buy in the East Market were piled up in boxes here.
Zhang Zemin pointed to the boxes and said to Li Xiangyang: "If you eat all these goods, I will give you all sixteen thousand."
Zhang Zemin thought that his brother-in-law asked him to sell it for 15,200 yuan. He would add 800 yuan to earn some traveling expenses. With Liu Dana, he could also earn 2,000 yuan today.
Li Xiangyang thought to himself: The department store costs 500 or 600 units of Sanyo cassette recorders. Not to mention the foreign exchange coupons, you can't buy them. If you sell the cassette players, the cost will not be much different. Everything else will be earned.
He turned to look at Liu Da, saw him nodding slightly and said, "Okay, I want them all."
Zhang Zemin happily patted Li Xiangyang on the shoulder: "Okay, the young man is a cheerful person. Next time I want to order goods, say hello in advance."
Li Xiangyang smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Uncle Zhang."
Next, Zhang Zemin and Liu Da went to see motorcycles and other goods, and Li Xiangyang asked for two more bicycles, two sewing machines and two 12-inch black and white TV sets.

Lin Lan sorted out all the goods orders at the guest house and wrote down the accounts. She swept several large packages of goods last night and spent more than two thousand. She planned to wait for Li Xiangyang and the others to come back, then go to West Lake Road to have a look and prepare more goods.
Try to make another trip during the twelfth lunar month to celebrate the new year.
At this time, someone knocked on the door, and Lin Lan quickly put her things into her backpack: "Who is it?"
A male voice like a bell sounded: "Are you Xiangyang's girlfriend? I am Duan Hongjun, I'm looking for Uncle Da."
Lin Lan hurriedly opened the door and saw a tall and strong man standing at the door. He was over 1.95 meters tall and said with a smile: "Uncle Da said he went to find Uncle Zhang and asked you to drive to the warehouse to find them.
"
"Okay!" Duan Hongjun responded and turned to leave.
At noon, Li Xiangyang, Uncle Da and Duan Hongjun all returned to the guest house. Liu Da and Duan Hongjun were ordering food in the restaurant downstairs for lunch.
Li Xiangyang went upstairs and told Lin Lan about the purchase: "Xiao Lan, all the goods have been loaded into the truck. The Red Army will have a night's rest and set off tomorrow morning. Uncle Da asked me to help escort the truck with them."
Lin Lan looked at him worriedly: "The road is not peaceful, let's check in and go!"
"Uncle Da got a motorcycle and a refrigerator... There were so many people who overturned their motorcycles on the train that they were not careful about checking them in." Li Xiangyang pulled Lin Lan and sat on the edge of the bed, "Don't worry, there are weapons on the train, there won't be any
Something happened."
Lin Lan could only nod, looked at him and warned softly: "You must be careful. If it is not possible, people still matter."
Li Xiangyang felt warm in his heart and held Lin Lan's hand: "While I'm with Uncle Da this time, he has a truck. In the afternoon, we will go shopping in other markets and use all the money we brought to sell goods, so as not to go back and forth."
run."
Lin Lan smiled and said: "I did the math and found out that we bought several large packages of goods last night and spent more than two thousand. It would be better to bring all the money into the city to save us from running on the road so often."
