Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1786 Moving to a New Home

I hummed and said: "You are the key to the matter. From his description, it is really possible that Xiao Du sneaked in here! It is not difficult to explain why so many things were targeted at me when I came back. Another reason is that Mr. Du wants his money, to be precise, his money for buying drugs!"

Lu Ping sighed and said, "Didn't you hand in all the money?"

Seeing that I didn't speak, I was surprised: "You don't want to keep some, do you?"

Lu Ping blamed me and said, "What did you do? Didn't I tell you that we are not short of money? Why didn't the money be handed over?"

I squeaked and replied: "Anyway, they don't have specific data, how much money do they have? It's not theirs, so why should I hand it over?"

Lu Ping asked puzzledly, "Then how did he know that you didn't fully hand it in?"

I explained: "Because they must have money inside, and asked me how much I handed over? The amount doesn't match, so he naturally knows that I have tampered with it!"

Lu Ping hummed and said, "So, now we're going after you fiercely?"

I nodded and said: "It should be! I asked you to come here, not to discuss it with you. I bought it here. There are stores and houses. I want you to find a way to legalize this place. Take a look. What procedures are still missing, they are all filled!"

Lu Ping said, "This is the place? You spent 20 yuan, and you spent it here?"

I proudly said, "Yeah, how's it going? It's a good deal, right?"

Lu Ping nodded and said, "It's a good deal, but you didn't use any violence, did you?"

I shook my head and said, "It's definitely gone, and it's not that I don't understand the law! The owner needed money urgently, so he sold it to me cheaply!"

Lu Ping was relieved now, walked inside, looked around and said, "The area here is about 150 square meters if you add up the downstairs and upstairs, right? There are front and rear gardens here, and the store is not small. Are you sure it's It cost 20 yuan? Although this is a suburb of the city, isn't your price too outrageous?"

I said impatiently: "Lily, take a look first, are these procedures complete? Do they belong to me?"

Lili nodded and looked at it for a long time, then said in surprise: "Quiet! I really don't believe you said you didn't use violence!"

I smiled and said: "It's really useless! Don't worry! Let me tell you about my plan. I have seen the flower market here. Generally, the prices are inflated. It is said that it is a wholesale market, but it is actually a retail market. There is no difference between the flower shops in the city, but there are more varieties here! Since it is a wholesale market, it should be wholesale! Lu Ping, do you have any construction companies under you? Those communities must have landscaping. Talk to these shopkeepers, buy at a unified price, you can contact the seller, let's unify the market, this business will start!"

Lily curled her lips and said: "I often hear about your legendary stories, but I always don't believe them. I just want to witness with my own eyes how you made money so easily. Now I understand that there are countless things in your eyes. Business opportunity, but we will never see it!"

I smiled and said, "It's not as amazing as you said, it's just a coincidence!"

Lu Ping also added: "Isn't it as easy as you said? How could it go so far? Now he just spent 20 yuan to buy a cheap one! What he said later is just a dream, a daydream Well, it’s still a long way to go! The group of them usually like to brag about the world, and the business comes out after bragging. Sometimes it’s reliable, and sometimes it’s just a story. You get used to it in the future Well, it’s over after listening, but you can do whatever they ask you to do, and generally you won’t suffer, but don’t expect too much, it’s not bad if you can do it once out of ten times!”

Lily smiled and said, "That's amazing. Some people spend their whole lives just dreaming, and they feel that they can't do it before they even take the first step!"

I sighed and said, "Let's stop discussing life here. I still have the biggest problem to solve. Is there any chamber of commerce, owners' committee or other organizations here? Such a big wholesale market, There must be someone who has the final say, right? Let him take the lead, so that we can unify our thinking and become bigger and stronger!"

Lily smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll find out after I go and find out, let's do what we say!" After Lily walked out, Lu Ping asked puzzledly: "What do you want to do? You don't really want to be a flower market. Wholesale? How much money can this make? What time are you wasting here?"

I explained: "Making money is one thing. Anyway, I have nothing to do now. In addition, I guess if Xiao Du really catches Nangong, he will come to me if I don't catch him. Since this is the case, I will Just wait for him here! If you want to start a war, you can’t take your place anymore, you have to change the place anyway, this place is very good! Also, don’t tell anyone about this matter, if someone asks, you Just say that I am interested in this industry here, and I am ready to flex my muscles here!"

Lu Ping frowned and said, "Can you do it alone? You don't even have a trusted person around you!"

I calmly said: "It's okay, I have to face him by myself, you can help me find out, who is the best person who has seen Xiao Du? Did he really see Xiao Du get on the plane? And Is Lao Du really serving his sentence in prison? Don't be bailed out!"

Lu Ping hummed and said, "I'll let Chen Qiao inquire about it!"

Lili came back and told me that there is indeed a market management committee here, which is responsible for the unified management of all the businesses here. The person in charge is an old man named Lao Yue, who lives in the market supervision department. Since there is such a market, this old man Yue is here now, from a young man in his 20s to an old man in his 50s now.

Here, Lu Ping called the cleaning company to clean up the room thoroughly, and also called the people from the security company to make a set of security measures, and found a group of people to replace all the household appliances and the door. So I changed the lock again, such a big movement, attracted the attention of the neighbors, I stood outside the door, but they also watched the excitement.

A middle-aged wretched man, wearing a hurdle white vest and black shorts, with the vest turned up on his belly, patted his eight-month pregnant belly, and gossiped with a gossip woman next to him: "See, two girls have moved in, Damei’s house has changed owners, it must be that man who doesn’t want her anymore and has a new wife!”

The gossip woman pursed her lips and said, "The man in his family doesn't look like a good person at first glance. He doesn't usually come back. When he comes back, he only sleeps and drinks!"

The man said obscenely: "You know it when you sleep? Did you see it? Are you always eavesdropping downstairs at his house?"

The gossip woman was not annoyed either, she curled her lips and said: "You still need to eavesdrop, they don't shy away from it, we can hear that voice in the whole market! Now it's over, that man must be tired of playing, don't want her anymore, There's a new one!"

The man shook his head and said, "No, this is Damei's house! It's not that man's house. If there is a change, it should be that man who is going to leave? But, don't say that these two girls are so beautiful. Zhenjun, it’s me, I’ll change too!”

The gossip woman snorted and said, "You men are all virtuous! You just fell in love with the one with less clothes? Maybe she is sick! This kind of woman doesn't look like a serious woman at first glance, and the skirt is so short , who did you say it was for? How transparent is the shirt? The bra is so clearly visible, who would wear it like that for a decent woman?"

I looked at her, a greasy flowered shirt and a pair of cropped pants, which looked quite conservative, but the neckline of her flowered shirt was wide enough, and when I bent down, I could see the scenery inside. And deliberately bent down in front of men to show off, is this serious?
I leaned over and asked, "Do you know them?"

The gossip woman then said, "Why don't you know me? I heard that it used to be the nightclub in Huadu, and then it was rented out by others. I guess the man who took advantage of it bought this house for them!"

I groaned and said, "Is that so? Then this big guy also spent a lot of money? It's such a big bet!"

The gossip woman hummed and said, "This little goblin must be willing to spend money, otherwise it would be so easy to get it?"

I hummed and said, "That's right, it's probably much easier for someone like you!"

The gossiping woman said casually, "That's right, I'm sure... what are you talking about?" Then she looked at me.

I stared at her and said, "This house is mine, but I'm not being taken advantage of. They bought it for me, and they paid for it. They raised me, not them! Don't you envy them? "

The gossip woman took a step back, looked at me in surprise and said, "I...why do I envy them? You are shameless enough to say it yourself!"

I cut it and said: "Is there anything I can't say? You love me! It's not breaking the law, right? If you have money, you can buy one! Or, you can go out and sell it, but, like you, Don't talk about cheating on a house, it's probably hard to cheat a meal. Dress up if you have nothing to do, and look like a resentful woman all day long. If you want to be a bitch but don't have the strength, if you want to set up an archway, you can't cover it My coquettish heart! Why are you doing this?"

The gossip woman didn't expect me to be so vicious, she blushed and then turned pale when she said that, she was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time, snorted, and left angrily.

The middle-aged wretched man came over again, and asked me shamelessly: "Brother, you are quite capable? How did you get it? Your conditions are not much better than mine? How did you do it? Teach me!"

I proudly said: "This can't be taught, you are born! I have taught you, I will not starve to death! See you later!"

After finishing speaking, he pushed open the courtyard door, walked up to Lu Ping, put his arms around Lu Ping's waist and said, "Why do you spend so much money?"

Lu Ping blushed all of a sudden, pushed me away and said, "This is all your own money, what is this little money?"

I looked at the middle-aged man outside the yard, shook my head, didn't know what was in my mouth, and left disappointed.

After a while, a young man came over and announced, "Which of you is the head of this house?"

I walked over and nodded, "I am! What's the matter?"

The young man said very politely: "It's nothing, Director Yue of our committee will let you go over!"

I said with a oh; "Okay, I'll go there right away!"

Following the young man to the Market Supervision Department, a bald old man wearing old fashion was sitting at a desk writing something, the young man knocked on the door and said, "Director Yue, the owner is here!"

Lao Yue raised his head, glanced at me and said, "Are you the new owner of 208?"

I nodded and said, "Yeah, I just moved in and haven't cleaned it up yet!"

Lao Yue put down the pen in his hand, took off his glasses and asked, "Then the store is also yours?"

I hummed and said: "It's also mine. I just moved here in the past two days, and I haven't had time to open it yet!"

Lao Yuetou nodded and said: "I am the director of this market committee, and I am also the chairman of the property committee here. Your shop and the place you live are under my control. If you come to live here, I have to tell you about the situation here. rule!"

I said with some dissatisfaction: "I bought this place with money. I am the owner, so I still have to obey the rules? What rules should I obey? You won't be required to pay protection fees, will you?"

The old Yuetou said unhappily: "What protection fee? Who do you think I am? There is also a property management company here, so naturally you have to pay the property management fee! Your shop is under our unified management, and the price is subject to our supervision. High, disrupting prices, not too low, disrupting the market! This is the consensus reached between me and all merchants here! You can’t break the rules here!”

I asked curiously, "What if I destroy it?"

Lao Yue frowned and said: "If you destroy it, you will be kicked out by us! The market here has been managed like this for decades, everyone can coexist peacefully and live in peace, don't break the rules, everyone will have a care , if you don't abide by the rules, we will make you unable to do business and live in peace!"

I groaned and said, "Are you threatening me?"

Lao Yuetou shook his head calmly and said: "Don't say it so harshly, what am I threatening you for? Young people, every walk of life has its own rules, and there is no rule without rules, you should know this too! It's not an overlord clause, nor is it a bully. Don't have any resistance. After a long time, you will know the benefits! This is to protect yourselves! Think about it, if everyone is driving up prices, who will come to our market Huh? If everyone competes on price, no one will make money, isn’t that the truth?”

I nodded and said, "If you say that, I can accept it in my heart! I listen to you, but are there any rules for living here?"

Lao Yuetou explained: "Half of the residents here are bought by themselves, that is, they have lived here all their lives, and the other half are tenants, but most of them are also merchants here, or work here. We have been here for many years, we all trust them, we don’t cause trouble, we don’t make trouble, but we are very united, and the relationship between neighbors is very good! I hope you can do the same!”
