Chen Miao lowered her head, "My family was hit by a disaster, and I really couldn't live with my two children, so I came here to join you. I forgot your home address. I just knew you worked in a newspaper, so I tried to find you. I didn't expect you to come here."
You can really find it.”
The guard was not far away and could hear their voices.
"Why are you so brave? Why didn't you write a letter home?"
"Did I write? You wrote it half a year ago, didn't you receive it?"
"No. Just wait for me here and I will take you home. My mother will be happy to know that you are here."
Bai Chunrong turned around and entered the newspaper office. Chen Miao was waiting outside. The guard came over, "Little girl, who are you, reporter Bai?"
"Reporter Bai's mother is my mother's cousin."
"This kind of relationship? It sounds to me like you're not a local?"
"I'm from Peiping. Something happened at home, and we, my mother-in-law, really couldn't survive, so we had no choice but to come over and join my cousin."
At this time, Bai Chunrong came out in a hurry, nodded to the guard and looked at Chen Miao, "Let's go home first."
The two of them also took a rickshaw. Chen Miao didn't expect to actually go to Bai Chunrong's house. Life at his house should be fine. But his mother is a deaf-mute.
Chen Miao bowed politely, and the old man smiled and poured water for them before returning to the house.
Chen Miao quickly and quietly talked about the process of getting along with the Tao family. He also talked about the shoe factory.
"I know about the Wang Family Shoe Factory, but it's not easy to get. Many people are staring at it, but it's actually because of the Tao Family's rubber shoe soles. Not only do we need it, but the other two forces also need it.
But Tao Juncheng really doesn’t sell this product to outsiders, and only cooperates with shoe factories from other places. Only the Wang family is local."
Bai Chunrong told the real situation. Although his family was just an ordinary family, he still knew the affairs of the Wang family very well.
Chen Miao nodded, "Tao Juncheng didn't say that. He just said that I could take over the shoe factory. I think the finished product is better."
"Indeed, but then the shoe factory will be under the attention of all parties. There are pros and cons."
Chen Miao also thought about this yesterday. If there is a shoe factory, it will really attract attention on the surface. However, the Japs will surrender this year, and the civil war will continue for several years, which is indeed dangerous.
"Comrade Bai, what I mean is that if there is a need here, I will take over, but I don't have time to manage this place. If it is too dangerous, there is no need. Tao Juncheng promised me 5,000 pairs, and I can take them back. From above,
arrange."
Bai Chunrong nodded, "Comrade Chen, I don't think it's necessary. After all, the risk factor is too high."
Chen Miao nodded, "I understand. Can you arrange transportation?"
Bai Chunrong was a little embarrassed. "I have been looking for connections since I got the news. My connections are not that big."
Chen Miao nodded, "Okay, I understand. Is there any way to cover it up? I mean what items are not restricted? Five thousand pairs is not too much. I need to cover up the items."
"Actually, there are no restrictions on anything, but if you do it in large quantities, nothing is allowed."
Chen Miao nodded and understood what it meant. "Then I'll go look around and collect everything."
She has already thought about it, and if it is too tight, she will find a way.
"I can think of a way for you, and I've also found two people at the train station. I'm just worried that something might happen on the road."
Chen Miao nodded. It is true that no one can guarantee safety on the road. It would be better if he could have a pass for the puppet army. Even if he meets a kid, he will not be the same as he meets someone from our party. He will still give face to the puppet army.
"In this case, I'd better go back to Tao's house. I'll find you after making arrangements here."
"You'd better come to me at home. In fact, it's best if you live in my house."
"We'll wait until the Tao family and I confirm it."
I am very anxious and want to go back as soon as possible.
"Okay, I'll see you off."
Chen Miao shook her head, "No need. I'll go around by myself and make sure what I want to take away. Is there a lot of brown sugar and white sugar?"
"We don't produce it here, but it does in other counties, not far away."
"Let me go and have a look. I want to find an agent who will be responsible for placing orders for me here."
"That's unrealistic. The main danger should be on the road, and several merchants here now have firepower. Even if the little devil wants to move, we have to be cautious. That's why we are more stable here, but it is not easy to liberate
.”
Chen Miao nodded. There was no use thinking about anything now. All he could do was solve whatever problems he encountered.
"You don't have to send me away."
After Chen Miao came out with her two children, she directly looked for a rickshaw.
When they arrived at a trading house, which was the largest in the city, Chen Miao came here just to buy some brown sugar and white sugar in large quantities.
By then it should be okay to mix the rubber soles in it.
Here we directly ordered two thousand kilograms of brown sugar, one thousand kilograms of white sugar, and one thousand kilograms of cotton, which is quite a lot.
"Mr. Huang, I will pay a deposit and I will inform you of the specific delivery time."
"Okay, don't worry, I can find a way for you at the train station. You don't have much reservation. You can only share a carriage with others."
Chen Miao nodded, "Mr. Huang, I understand. I haven't decided what else to take with me yet. Other items needed by the grocery store are provided. I mainly want rubber shoes this time."
This is a very scarce item in our north."
"I have a thousand pairs of rubber shoes here. Ms. Chen can take a look."
Chen Miao smiled. "Okay, I'm not afraid of too much. It's really not easy to come here. I cooperate well with Mr. Huang. I will come to you directly in the future, which will save me from running around like a headless fly."
Huang Youwei nodded happily, "It's absolutely fine. Don't worry, Ms. Chen, the price I'll give you will not be high. You can ask outside."
"This is the best. Cooperation requires mutual trust and mutual benefit."
Chen Miao was really satisfied with the rubber shoes. They were still high-tops and that's what you need.
"Mr. Huang, are these shoes still available?"
"How much does Ms. Chen want?"
"If Mr. Huang's price is lower, I can ask for 10,000 pairs. But it must be this high-cut one."
"Ms. Chen, the price I gave you is already the lowest, just to make you a friend. But since you asked, I can't give you the price of the shoes. But I can give you an extra two hundred pounds of brown sugar.
Another point is that the shoes are not here. They are in another county. You will pass there on your way back. I can be responsible for loading them on the train for you."
Chen Miao nodded, "Okay, you can only get one hand and one hand money."
Huang Youwei nodded, "Okay. I'll make an order for the supply in the afternoon. Ms. Chen will come again the day after tomorrow and we can finalize it."
Chen Miao nodded, "Okay. Mr. Huang, I will leave in a week at the earliest."
