good old days

It was around 22:00 on the day of the bus ride, and by the time we arrived in Yangcheng, it was already after 7:00 on the morning of the third day. The whole journey took 33 hours, and Jiang Xinyu had a sore back and waist.

Living in the capital of this era, although she had never seen skyscrapers, the appearance of Yangcheng at this time did not disappoint her. Anyway, it was much better than those in their county and city.

The streets at this time are lively. Unlike the capital, where street stalls are set up in fixed streets, a small market has been formed around the Yangcheng train station. There are everything for food and use. You can take a bus to see the city. There are no designated areas on the streets. It seems that wherever pedestrians pass by, there are people doing business.

What a surprise to see someone selling sashimi porridge.

Although the taste is a little different from what I have had before, and the ingredients are also very different, it is still delicious and the sense of surprise is unparalleled.

Drinking this steaming bowl of fish fillet porridge makes the sky turn blue.

Qiao Jianfeng doesn't talk much. He has a tall and strong body and an expressionless face. Anyone who looks at him when he walks on the street thinks he is someone who is not easy to mess with.

When I arrived at Chen Zhengyu's school, after communicating with the guard, Chen Zhengyu came over sweating profusely after waiting for about twenty minutes.

Chen Zhengyu was excited and didn't expect Jiang Xinyu to come so quickly.

In order to wait for her, he stayed at school honestly these days.

"Sister Xinyu, who is this?"

Jiang Xinyu spoke concisely and to the point, "He's an employee of my store. I specially called him to help. His name is Qiao Jianfeng. You can just call him Brother Qiao."

After introducing the two of them to each other and saying hello, Chen Zhengyu said: "Have you eaten? I will take you to eat first, then open a guest house to put things away, and then go with me to the factory to find Director Ma. Let's look at the goods first. "

Jiang Xinyu traveled lightly, except for toiletries and cakes and tea cups, she didn't even bring a change of clothes. Qiao Jianfeng, like her, brought very few things.

"Don't eat, let's do business first."

Chen Zhengyu was even more impatient than she was, and he took the two of them to the suburbs by bus.

"This line is still open because there have been many more factories here in the past two years."

Chen Zhengyu didn't say anything, Jiang Xinyu could also see the situation here.

There are few cars on the street, but there are a few parked in the open space in front of the factory. People are busy moving goods, and there are many pedal tricycles pulling goods.

It's a remote place, but it looks lively.

Chen Zhengyu turned a corner and arrived at a factory gate.

The guard recognized him because Chen Zhengyu had been here several times in the past two months and was very familiar with the factory director's son. He smoked a cigarette and looked at Jiang Xinyu and Qiao Jianfeng, "Here we go again, Deng Kang is not here today."

Chen Zhengyu waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm not looking for him today. Please tell Director Ma that I want to purchase this amount of goods."

He made a sign of two.

The guard took it for granted that it was two hundred. Two hundred is a lot, but the goods are really not much, but since this guy is a friend and classmate of the factory director's son, and he always talks sweetly when he comes back, it doesn't matter if he runs an errand.

Jiang Xinyu didn't speak, and kept looking at the factory environment here. There were people loading goods into the truck at the side door. The not-so-large compartment was packed full of goods. In the workshop, Director Ma waved his hand after listening to the guard's words, "Two hundred dollars? Let him get it from the Huinan Road Market. I'm very busy, so just let him go."

Not even Deng Kang, but Director Ma didn't know who Chen Zhengyu was, so he felt that this guy was quite capable of climbing on poles.

When the guard entered the factory, Jiang Xinyu saw that the carriage door was closed, and the goods must have been moved. She looked for an opportunity to go to the truck to inquire about the situation.

She didn't smoke herself, but she took out a cigarette from her bag and gave one to each of the people moving the goods.

"Brothers, are these goods going to the department store or somewhere?"

The two of them looked at each other and saw that her delicate skin and tender face looked innocent and harmless, as if she was working in an office. They asked, "Why do you ask?"

Jiang Xinyu said with a smile: "I want to get some goods to rush around."

One person said: "Who did you hear that there is goods here? If there are goods here, they will not be easily handed over to outsiders. Our goods have to be transported to the market on Huinan Road, which is very close to the train station. It doesn't matter if you can't get in." The goods are available at the first-hand price, but the purchase quantity is small. Just go to Huinan Road to purchase the goods. I can ask my uncle to give you a cheaper price. These are easy to sell. Those who go to purchase the goods will be able to come back soon to get the second batch. Market It costs more than three yuan to wholesale, but it still sells quickly when sold for eight or nine yuan. Sister, my uncle is a cousin of the deputy factory director's family, otherwise this good thing wouldn't be my uncle's turn."

She nodded, "If I can't find any connections here, I'll go to your place."

She asked for the specific address on Huinan Road, and then asked: "Chenliang is still a rare fabric over there. A piece of Chuiliang clothes in the supply and marketing cooperative is not cheap. Most people can't afford it. Why do we have it in the factory here?" Are there so many?”

Neither of them could answer this question, and it was a bit complicated when I thought about it.

"We don't know about that. Jeans are still exported. Some people are still selling them secretly in our market."

Jiang Xinyu chatted with the two of them for a while, and when she was done inquiring, she said to them, "Okay, I won't delay your delivery."

After they left, Chen Zhengyu looked at her sideways, "Sister Xinyu, you still don't believe me? You just heard and saw that this factory is selling wholesale, and this business must be legitimate."

Jiang Xinyu smiled and asked: "Then tell me, why can't these goods be transported to other inland supply and marketing cooperatives for sale? Why are they sold to private individuals?"

Chen Zhengyu frowned, "I don't know the purchasing channels of supply and marketing cooperatives in each region. It is inconvenient to transport back and forth. Who knows how the supply and marketing cooperatives purchase goods? Do you know what the raw materials of Deliang are? It is a polymer extracted from petroleum. Ethyl butyl terephthalate, this raw material used to be 100% imported, but it is different now. The volume of our country's oil fields has increased significantly, and chemical fiber equipment has been introduced from abroad, and the output has increased. In the past, it was more expensive because of pure Imports are different now, do you believe that high-quality fabrics will become cheaper and cheaper in the future?"

Jiang Xinyu felt that this boy had done a good job in his homework. She nodded, "I believe this, but is it legal to sell so much to private individuals?" When you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy clothes and cloth, you still need cloth tickets!

Thinking of the cloth ticket, Jiang Xinyu was shocked.

Got it, got it, she reacted completely.

It is precisely because of the need for cloth tickets that there will be a backlog of textiles.

The raw materials and production lines are complete, and the factory's production capacity has been increased, but the system has not been fully liberalized. Without tickets, ordinary people still cannot afford it through formal channels. There is a backlog of goods that cannot be discharged, and the factory is also asking for a way out.

The factory dares to sell food to private individuals. It seems that the atmosphere here is quite open. If it were in another place, the news might get out and something might happen.

There are still risks in this business, but after all, she doesn't want to go back empty-handed.
