Rebirth 1983: Starting from taking back the family property.

Chapter 537: Hard to Earn Money

Although Lu Jiajie suffered a lot, he was lucky to have Luo Guangyuan and Sun Qi looking after him, so his body was not seriously injured. After more than three months of recuperation, he has almost recovered.

Thinking about his dwindling savings, Lu Jiajie could no longer sit still. After saying hello to Lu Jiaguang, he called Sun Qi to go to Pengcheng.

When he arrived in Paopengcheng, he went to find Su Heming and expressed his desire to buy a batch of electrical appliances to sell.

Now that the economy has been liberalized, many people have money on hand and are willing to buy electrical appliances for their homes. Televisions are the first choice, and electric fans and refrigerators are also popular. Therefore, home appliance factories are now working 24 hours a day, but even so, supply still cannot meet demand.

Su Heming looked at him and asked, "I don't know how many people ask me to give them goods every day. Lu Jiajie, tell me, why should I supply you with goods?"

Getting the goods means making money, so he is very popular now. Sometimes when he is really bored, he goes to the port city to have some free time.

Lu Jiajie was stunned for a moment: "Brother Ming, we have been friends for so many years..."

Su Heming gestured for him to stop: "Lu Jiajie, you and I have never been friends. I took care of you before because you are Jiaxin's cousin."

"Lu Jiajie, you and your Lu family have gained so much from Jiaxin over the years, but what have you done for Jiaxin?"

Among the people of the Lu family, only Lu Jiaguang is good, he doesn't like any of the others. Only Jiaxin is generous, if it were him, he would ignore everyone. Their hometown and relatives and friends, except for those who helped their family in the past, others want to take advantage of them, they are dreaming!
Lu Jiajie was stunned by the question, and after a while he said, "Brother Ming, Jiaxin has made her own way, and she doesn't need our help."

When Su Heming found out that Lu Jiajie had gone to MSK to do business and disappeared, he thought that this man was out of his mind: "Jiaxin is my adopted sister, I can't stand you taking advantage of me in the name of relatives. Lu Jiajie, you are also a nine-foot-tall man, how can you have the nerve to rely on your sister all the time? Don't forget, Jiaxin is only twenty years old this year."

Lu Jiajie's face turned red.

Su Heming said, "You just know that she is rich, but you never thought about how difficult it was for a little girl like her in Hong Kong? She was always trembling with fear to guard against the He family's schemes, and she didn't dare let anyone know when she made some money from business. Where were you at that time?"

"Lu Jiajie, don't even think about asking me to supply you with goods. If you are a man, you should build up your business on your own and pay back the money you owe Jiaxin. Otherwise, I will look down on you."

After being scolded, Lu Jiajie returned empty-handed.

Sun Qi asked doubtfully, "You said before that Mr. Su has a good relationship with your sister, and he himself said that Miss Lu is his adopted sister. Now that I don't supply you with goods, aren't you afraid that your sister will be angry?"

Lu Jiajie was silent for a moment and said, "It should be my sister's intention. She doesn't want to help me anymore and wants me to make money to pay off the debt myself."

His original plan was to buy a batch of goods on credit from Su Heming, and then settle the payment after the goods were sold. Electrical appliances are selling very well now, and he will definitely make a profit if he buys more goods on credit. Unfortunately, the plan was good, but the reality was very bleak.

Sun Qi's heart skipped a beat. If Lu Jiaxin stopped helping them, they would have to start from scratch. He had also done business and knew the importance of connections. With Lu Jiaxin, they could avoid many detours.

"Then what do we do now?"

What can I do? I can only give up this way of making money. Electrical appliances are in great demand now, and it is impossible to get them without connections. Lu Jiajie said, "Let's buy some clothes!"

He had been in the clothing business for three years and had accumulated a network of contacts. He went to Gaudi Street and found several friends who had become large wholesalers, and got the goods at a preferential price. He originally wanted to ship them back by train, but Lu Jiaguang said that the control was very strict now, and if he tried to find a backdoor for him, he would be reported, so he asked him to find a way out himself.

Lu Jiajie had no choice but to find a large truck to transport the goods back. On the way, he encountered robbers again, but they were prepared and drove them away after a fight. After returning to Sijiu City with a worried look, Lu Jiajie put the goods in the warehouse and then looked for buyers.

I haven't done clothing business for a year, and my former partners have all found other sources of goods, including Xiaoqiu. Of course, when doing business, you must buy the goods from the one that is cheaper.

Lu Jiajie still had good vision. The goods he bought were of high quality and the latest styles. However, after selling all the goods, he found that he only made 5,000 yuan from this order.

When he first started the clothing business, he could earn two or three times as much. Later, as more people joined, the profit dropped, but it was still 40 to percent. But this time, his profit was only percent. And he had to give Sun Qi yuan for the yuan. At this rate, it would take him a long time to pay off the yuan foreign debt.

After struggling for a while, Lu Jiajie went to Luo Guangyuan and asked if he could work with him: "Guangyuan, I can find the source of goods for them and then deliver the goods to the border."

Although the border is not very peaceful, it is still in China. As long as we keep a low profile and be cautious, there will be no problem. If the foreign debt of 800,000 is not paid off in one day, we will lose the confidence to speak.

Luo Guangyuan asked doubtfully, "Jiajie, you still have money in your hands, and you can support your family by going back to your old business, so why do you want to take risks?"

Lu Jiajie told me that he owed 800,000 yuan in debt: "My sister said that we can meet again when the debt is paid off. I know she is angry with me."

Luo Guangyuan was even more afraid to let him join after hearing this, and said: "Even if the goods are delivered to the border, there will be danger. If anything happens to you, I won't be able to explain to your sister. Jiajie, please don't embarrass me."

Miss Lu asked him to pay back the money, but she didn't specify when he should pay it back. It could be three years or ten years. If he were to take him to do border trade at this time, if something went wrong, he would definitely be angry with him. He couldn't afford to offend such a big shot.

Lu Jiajie, who hit a wall again, returned home dejectedly. After much thought, he decided to do clothing trade, which was what he was good at and had connections with.

At the same time, Luo Guangyuan also found Lao Geng and told him about Lu Jiajie's intention to join the group, and said that he had rejected it: "Miss Lu must be angry now. When she calms down, she can make money by doing anything. Why should she take risks with us?"

Lao Geng thought that he was loyal and quick-witted, and just as Luo Guangyuan was short of money, he recruited him into the team. First, he really needed manpower, and second, he wanted to check and balance his friend. After so many years in the outside world, he knew that the most untestable thing was the human heart.

After thinking for a while, Lao Geng said, "Go find him tomorrow and tell him that I agreed to let him join. From now on, he will be responsible for delivering the goods to the border."

Luo Guangyuan was startled, then shook his head and said, "Brother, if something happens to him, what if Miss Lu takes her anger out on us?"

A smile appeared on Lao Geng's face, and he said, "Don't worry, Miss Lu is very clear about gratitude and resentment. He wanted to join in on his own initiative, and even if something goes wrong, he won't blame us."

He naturally had his considerations when letting Lu Jiajie join the team.
