My courtyard shelter

At 6:30 the next morning, Xu Dong drove his father and the two sisters Keke back to the courtyard to have breakfast.

They didn't go into the yard. They had breakfast in the garage. Xu's mother had prepared simple tables and chairs yesterday, which was much easier than coming to pick up the food early.

After breakfast, Xiao Zhang came to pick up Xu's father to work and sent the two sisters Keke to school.

Xu Dong spent a whole morning and finally transported the last six tons of sugar to Panjiayuan.

At noon, he had a snack for lunch.

At 1 p.m., Boss Duan finally arrived, and this time there were quite a few people.

"Brother Xu, let me introduce you. This is our important partner in Yanjing. If you can't contact me, you can contact Mr. Li."

"Mr. Li, nice to meet you." Xu Dong said politely, and took the initiative to add the other party's WeChat.

"Boss Xu, nice to meet you. Please take care of me in the future." Mr. Li seemed particularly enthusiastic.

After the greetings, Boss Duan pulled Xu Dong aside and explained in a low voice:

"Brother Xu, I went back to ask someone about what you said yesterday. It is indeed as you said. I guess I won't be able to come here for a while.

Mr. Li is my brother-in-law. He is absolutely trustworthy. If you have other business needs, you can come to him."

"I understand." Xu Dong nodded and said, "Old Duan, who is your brother-in-law?"

"He used to do foreign trade. Now he does whatever makes money. He has his own company and a wide network of contacts. At present, he mainly helps me maintain the sales channels here."

"No illegal business, right?" Xu Dong hesitated.

Boss Duan shook his head quickly: "Don't worry about this. I can assure you that Lao Li will never touch those dirty things.

In the current environment, we come out to eat a full meal, not to give ourselves away."

"That's good. It's not worth it to live in fear every day just to make that little dirty money."

"Brother Xu, you are right."

Boss Duan's face was a little unnatural. Speaking of it, he was also worried every day, but there was no way. The whole family depended on him for support, so he had to work hard.

Boss Li left after staying for a while. This time, he came here mainly to make a familiar face and did not participate in this transaction.

The group worked for more than three hours and finally completed all the transactions. The shop of more than 80 square meters was fully filled with two-thirds of the space.

Before leaving, Boss Duan held Xu Dong again: "Brother Xu, I'm going back to Yangcheng tomorrow. I'll host you tonight. How about we get together?"

"Well... I have something to do in the evening..."

Xu Dong hurriedly evaded the request, mainly because he was afraid that the other party would set up a trap and attack him. This is not impossible. After all, one should be on guard against others.

Boss Duan seemed to have expected it and said directly:

"Brother Xu, I know you have concerns.

I have chosen the place. It is in the hotel where we negotiated last time. We will prepare the food ourselves. It is so close to Panjiayuan. You can rest assured now!"

"What time in the evening are you talking about?" Xu Dong said awkwardly.

"Six o'clock, let's eat until eight o'clock and then leave. Two hours is enough."

"Okay, I'll be there on time at six o'clock."

...

There was still more than an hour before six o'clock. Xu Dong first called his father and said that he had an appointment in the evening, so the matter of picking up the food could only be left to Xu's father.

Next, he went home, took a shower, changed his clothes, and drove out at nearly half past five.

When he arrived at the hotel, Xu Dong called Boss Duan, who soon came out to greet him in person.

"Brother Xu, the food is ready, waiting for you."

"You're so polite."

Boss Duan led Xu Dong into a large suite. There was a large table in the middle of the room. There were seven or eight dishes on the table, both meat and vegetables. It was obvious that the other party had put a lot of thought into it.

But this was not the point. The point was that there were four young women in the room who were dressed coolly, and they were all of middle-class appearance, which made Xu Dong's heart flutter.

"Hello, Mr. Xu!" The four said in unison.

"Old Duan, this is unnecessary!"

"Brother Xu, she just came here to accompany the wine, don't think wrongly." Boss Duan joked.

Xu Dong shook his head quickly: "I drove here, I can't drink tonight."

"It's okay, let them drink for you."

After chatting, the dinner officially began. In the room, besides Xu Dong and Boss Duan, there were only the four young girls.

Boss Duan drank white wine, and Xu Dong could only toast with tea.

"Old Duan, thank you for your hospitality."

"It's nothing, brother Xu, you are my benefactor, no matter how much you treat me, it's not too much."

"You're too polite."

"Come on, let's go!"

"Cheers!"

After taking a sip of tea, the girl next to him immediately picked up a piece of meat for Xu Dong.

Xu Dong tasted it and it should be beef. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Old Duan, where did you get this beef?"

"You might as well guess."

"It's definitely not from China." Xu Dong insisted.

Under the national system in China, it is impossible to waste precious resources in exchange for these luxurious enjoyments. Even if there are individual ranches, they are of scientific research nature.

"Brother Xu, keep guessing!"

"The United States, Australia and New Zealand, these should be the three countries, and Australia is the most likely, am I right?"

Boss Duan gave a thumbs up: "Brother Xu, you guessed it right. These beefs are indeed from Australia."

"What's the price?"

"You can't buy them with money. They don't even accept US dollars. You have to pay with gold. Converted into domestic currency, it's about two to three thousand yuan per pound!"

"Old Duan, are you still in the beef business?" Xu Dong said in surprise.

If he had known this, he should have stocked up a batch.

Boss Duan shook his head: "No, the beef we bought is used for internal consumption, and the rest is used for relationships. The quantity is too small to support the market."

"Can you help me get a batch?" Xu Dong asked.

"It's really impossible. These beefs are still last year's inventory. Since this year, the risks at sea have become increasingly greater. We dare not go there now."

"That's a pity." Xu Dong said with disappointment.

"Brother Xu, we can't do anything about beef, but we can still get some seafood products. Do you need them?"

"Old Duan, thank you for your kindness, but I don't need them for now."

There are still several hundred kilograms of tuna and two thousand kilograms of dried seafood at home. They really don't lack seafood products.

Boss Duan felt a little regretful that he had wasted an opportunity to win over.

The little sister next to him saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she quickly pulled Xu Dong to talk about hot topics on the Internet.

Which celebrity went abroad, which country was in war again, and what fun places are there in Yanjing now.

As they chatted, the dinner came to an end.

Boss Duan waved his hand to let the four women leave, and then personally took out a small box from the room, which looked heavy.

"Brother Xu, I prepared a small gift for you. Your order made me earn a lot of money, so I can't not express my gratitude."
