Chapter 531 Rumors stop at wise men

Xu Erlong could only sigh helplessly.

He was thinking of various ways, but Xiong Yawei still wasn't interested.

That's right, or maybe he had never doubted that his wife would betray him, so when he encountered this with his own eyes, he collapsed so much that he couldn't stand it, and when he lost control, he accidentally hurt someone.

"Since my sister-in-law values ​​​​the family so much, Brother Xiong, you should also pay more attention to the family and go home often to see your sister-in-law and children." Xu Erlong said.

"I got it." Xiong Yawei said: "Look at your tone, it's just like my mother-in-law's tone, just to persuade me to stop running long distances outside because I won't be able to make enough money."

Xu Erlong secretly cried out in his heart.

It seems that Xiong Yawei's wife has cheated on her.

It is estimated that Xiong Yawei's parents also saw some clues, but unfortunately there is no clear evidence, so they can only make insinuations.

Alas, no matter whether Xiong Yawei knows it now or in the future, this will be a big blow to him.

What to do about this matter?

Xu Erlong secretly thought, how about he take action himself and give Xiong Yawei's wife a lesson to stop her cheating?

"Erlong? What are you thinking about? Why don't you speak?" Xiong Yawei asked him.

Xu Erlong raised his head and smiled ambiguously: "I'm thinking about opening a department store. If you have a suitable source of goods, you can introduce it to me."

"This is no problem." Xiong Yawei said nothing, patting his chest and promising: "If you ask me to do other things, it may not work, but I am good at contacting the supply of goods. I am responsible for pulling goods every day, not finding the supply.

It’s quite simple.”

Wen Ye made tea and came over with two cups of tea.

"Wen Ye, bring me a pen and paper." Xu Erlong ordered Wen Ye.

"Okay." Wen Ye responded obediently, put down the tea cup, turned around, and went to get paper and pen.

Xu Erlong took a pen and paper and first wrote his mailing address to Xiong Yawei.

"Take this address. If something happens or emergencies happen outside, sending a telegram will help me understand the situation in time." Xu Erlong handed the address to Xiong Yawei.

The next step is to discuss what supplies are needed to open a department store.

These days, the most popular items are various electrical appliances.

But now, whether it’s TV sets or bicycles, they are still in short supply. Regular state-owned stores are still out of stock, and you need to buy them with a ticket.

All Xu Erlong could think of was to intervene in the daily necessities department.

He discussed with Xiong Yawei and determined the rough scope of the supply. Later, he could start supplying goods here one after another.

****

With the supply of goods from other places secured, Xu Erlong began to search for local supply in the past few days.

At that time, almost every county had its own soy sauce factory, douban factory, candy factory, beverage factory, winery, cotton mill, etc.

And people are used to this local taste, and there is even a special feeling among the locals.

Of course Xu Erlong had to arrange local supply.

It was just started in this early stage, so he had to take the initiative to come to the door.

Only when they gain fame and scale in the future will manufacturers come forward and actively ask for entry.

First we went to a soy sauce factory, then a winery, and negotiated all these supply sources with the factory.

These manufacturers also like this kind of business that comes to them proactively.

This can increase sales and revenue for the factory, and they will refuse it unless they are out of their minds.

On this day, Xu Erlong came to the candy factory.

The efficiency of the candy factory is quite good.

Unfortunately, the varieties are relatively single, one is traditional fruit-flavored hard candy, and the other is sorghum candy.

Moreover, it is still the old-fashioned hand-made packaging method.

A group of temporary female workers, ranging from girls in their teens to aunts and uncles in their forties and fifties, all sat in front of the chopping board, their heads lowered, their eyes unblinking, and they quickly wrapped the candies in their hands.

The candies come out of the machine one by one and are sprinkled on the chopping board to cool down.

These female workers stuffed the candies that had been left to dry into the candy wrapper, twisted both ends, and wrapped a candy into the wrapper, then threw it into the backpack next to it.

Even where no one was paying attention, Xu Erlong even saw a female worker quickly stuffing a candy into her mouth.

The movement was so fast that it was dazzling, and one thought it was an illusion.

These are all actions learned from long-term training in packaging candies.

After all, packaging candy now relies entirely on counting. You can pack dozens or hundreds of kilograms of candy a day to earn a few cents in manual labor.

Xu Erlong looked at their lowered heads and worried that cervical spondylosis would become serious in the future.

But these days, the industry is backward, and the county candy factory is only at this level, relying on manual packaging.

No matter how low the calculated wages are, they can still attract these older girls and younger wives to come over and earn some pocket money to support their families.

Xu Erlong walked around the candy factory and finally reached an order agreement with the factory director.

Alas, I can only say that there are too few choices.

Nowadays, they are all state-owned enterprises. They have no innovative and enterprising ideas at all, nor do they think about changing their tricks and producing more delicious candies.

Xu Erlong came out of the candy factory and found his bicycle parked at the doorman's place.

The janitors at the candy factory here are very strict about checking, and are afraid that the temporary female workers who come to wrap candy wrappers will take the candy home with them.

After all, if you secretly eat two while wrapping candies and everyone turns a blind eye, forget it.

But if you have to put a handful of candies in your pocket and take them home, this is serious.

At this moment, Xu Erlong was about to walk back when a young man in his twenties trotted forward to catch up.

Xu Erlong was half pedaling his bicycle and looked at this young man with some vigilance.

"Hey, do you want to buy candy?" the other party asked him in a low voice, looking back warily.

This sneaky movement also made Xu Erlong nervous.

Could it be that you stole candies from the candy factory and wanted to sell them to him?

He doesn't want to accept stolen goods, so as not to cause trouble.

"I don't want things of unknown origin." Xu Erlong refused directly.

"No, it wasn't stolen." The other party stammered in explanation: "It definitely couldn't be stolen."

"Oh, tell me then." Xu Erlong stopped his bicycle and even offered the other party a cigarette.

The other party didn't answer, but still looked back at the factory warily: "I... I have a relative who learned to make some candies at home and sell them. I saw that you were placing an order, so I just wanted to help ask if you would like any goods.

?”

He is an employee of a candy factory. Since his job is convenient and he knows some craftsmanship, he makes some candies at home for his children to eat.

Of course, the main thing is to get some raw materials from the factory. Otherwise, if ordinary people can buy candies for a few cents for their children, even if it is good, they will not bother with some food.

When Xu Erlong heard what he said, he probably understood what was going on.

Don't think that the first batch of people who went into business had any forward-looking vision and courage.

But just because they are engaged in a certain industry, they happen to see some loopholes and problems in this industry, and then they seize the opportunity.
