Jiang Shangyu shook his head regretfully and said: "I don't have the goods you mentioned here. I don't know if those things are easy to sell or not, so I don't dare to buy them randomly.
The goods I bought now are the best-selling ones, and they will all be sold out within a few days after I go back.
It’s a small business, and the quantity of goods I can bring back each time is limited, so there’s no way to try new goods.”
Only then did Sun Dahai remember that in his previous life, he had heard someone say that in the 1980s and 1990s, these gangsters who traveled to Eastern Europe and Russia had to carry their goods on their own shoulders and carry their goods with them.
As soon as they go in and out, if they buy the right goods, after taking into account the cost, they can earn thousands of dollars in one trip. If they don't choose the right goods, or if they encounter gangsters or robbers, they can only think of themselves.
Bad luck.
In this industry, they are especially afraid of encountering the local police or anti-trafficking agents. In most cases, they slip money in private and treat it as a wasted trip.
If you encounter someone who is more ruthless and even fines you for confiscating takeaways, I'm afraid it won't take a few years for you to recover.
…
The few people chatted enthusiastically, and Sun Dahai gained a lot of knowledge. In his previous life, he only heard about it through hearsay, but now he started to talk directly with the real treacherous man, and he also understood a lot of the secrets involved.
Sun Dahai suddenly thought that Daqingshan's huge development plan would require a lot of preliminary infrastructure projects, requiring a large amount of construction steel, cement, logs and other materials.
The domestic economy has developed rapidly in recent years, and there is a huge gap in various building materials. Especially at present, the country still implements a dual-track price system. Many second- and third-generation people have made a fortune by reselling internal price approval documents for various building materials.
Sun Dahai is not willing to dig food in the country, so naturally he will not get involved and waste a small amount of money. But if the Daqingshan development project is successful, the problem of building materials will also cause a headache.
Sun Dahai asked Li Honggen and the others that near Kaoshantun, only the county town had cement factories and brick and tile factories, which were both very small and difficult to meet the needs of project development.
Now that everyone is talking about doing business with Russia, Sun Dahai thought to himself that he might as well engage in border trade. Instead of transporting building materials all the way from the country, it is better to import them directly from Russia. It only takes two seconds from the Heihe Port to Kaoshantun.
There are more than 100 kilometers of roads and railways, and the transportation is very convenient.
Especially for construction steel and high-grade cement, the domestic production capacity is seriously insufficient and the price is high. If you want to get it, you have to ask for favors. These building materials with a certain technical content are not rare goods in Russia, and the prices there are still very low.
Very cheap.
The same is true for logs. Even though there is a state-owned forest farm near Kaoshantun, it is not cost-effective to buy logs and boards from the forest farm. Unless Sun Dahai can get approval for internal price allocation, he might as well import from Russia.
.
Sun Dahai looked at Hu Cheng and thought to himself, let him handle this matter. But he had to find someone to lead the way, but he didn't know if Jiang Shangyu was reliable.
When dinner time came, Sun Dahai invited Jiang Shangyu to dine in the dining car, but Jiang Shangyu politely refused and brought dry food to eat in the carriage. All his possessions were exchanged for goods and placed in the carriage, and he did not dare to leave easily.
In the dining car, Sun Dahai told Hu Chengyi his idea, and Hu Cheng was indeed willing to complete the work.
After dinner, Hu Cheng ordered two more dishes and took them back to add more dishes to Jiang Shangyu. He also discussed with him that he was going to pay him to accompany him to the cloth market.
This matter was not urgent, and it had to be the first month of the year before leaving. Jiang Shangyu also wanted to go home and rest for a while. The two hit it off and made an appointment. When the time came, Jiang Shangyu went directly to the capital to find Hu Cheng.
A night of silence.
The next morning, the train arrived at the terminal, the Capital Railway Station. Jiang Shangyu continued to change trains and prepared to go home. Sun Dahai and his entourage said goodbye to him, then got on the big fat car that came to pick him up, and returned to No. 18, Xihuangchenggen
.
Sun Dahai's trip took a total of more than ten days. After returning home, Jiang Xiuping and the others greeted Erxiao, but poor Sun Dahai was ignored and had no choice but to make out with Ergou.
There is no one in Gao Yi's family. Gao Hongqi and his wife are in Dongshan Province. Gao Zhihui went there just after the winter vacation and has not come back yet. Otherwise, this lively little girl will definitely be indispensable on this trip to the North.
Gao Yi has a few days to go back to Xiangjiang, so she will stay at Sun Dahai's house in the next few days.
In the evening, Sun Dahai took Gao Yi, Hu Cheng, and Erxiaoergou with prepared gifts and marched to Huang's home in a mighty manner. Mr. Huang prepared a reception banquet for them at home.
Most of the gifts Sun Dahai brought back were prepared for him by Li Yue. They mainly included pine nuts, black fungus and hazel mushrooms, as well as two pieces of wild ginseng.
Sun Dahai kept one at his home, and naturally he wanted to use the other to honor Mr. Huang.
When they arrived at Huang's home, they paid New Year's greetings to Mr. Huang. Although they had already wished Mr. Huang good luck before leaving, it was not the fifteenth day of the first lunar month yet, so since everyone was here, they still had to make up for it.
Sun Dahai and Er Xiao have red envelopes to receive, but Gao Yi and Hu Cheng don't. Who knows that both of them have already started to receive wages.
The red envelope given by Mr. Huang was not big, only five yuan, just for good luck. Sun Dahai and his three brothers were all extremely wealthy owners, and no one would take the money in the red envelope seriously.
Just a thought.
The people in charge of cooking in Huang's house are Lao Wu and his wife. They have been working as Huang's housekeepers for several years. Sun Dahai and the others go here all day long, so they naturally know what Sun Dahai and the others like to eat.
The couple is from Zhejiang Province, so their cooking is naturally in the style of Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, focusing on freshness.
Today is to welcome Sun Dahai and his friends. Mr. and Mrs. Wu have prepared their most famous beggar's chicken early, as well as everyone's favorite braised frog and steamed lion's head.
Due to the cooking requirements of beggar's chicken, it is not suitable for the relatively thin black-bone chicken. The old Wu couple chose the most authentic Luyuan three-yellow chicken. Everyone who ate it was mouth-watering and praised their craftsmanship.
Sun Dahai and the others had just returned from the Northeast. These days, they had basically been eating crispy, rich Northeastern cuisine. They suddenly changed to fine, special, fresh and tender Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, which really has a unique flavor.
While everyone was eating, they told Mr. Huang about all kinds of interesting things they encountered during their trip. People in the room chatted enthusiastically, making Mr. Huang's usually quiet courtyard burst into laughter.
After the reception banquet, the second child took Huang Feihong and Hegel to play in the backyard. Sun Dahai took Mr. Huang to the study and introduced his Daqingshan investment plan to him.
As Sun Dahai expected, Mr. Huang was very interested in this comprehensive development plan. As soon as Sun Dahai said a few words, Mr. Huang kept asking for details.
After a while, Sun Dahai simply called Hu Cheng and Gao Yi into the study. When he discussed the development plan with the people in Guashantun, they were present, responsible for recording and participating in the discussion, and now they asked Mr. Huang together.
