Reborn in 1987: The Story of an Abandoned Girl

Chapter 102 goes south again to Yangcheng

Xia Lin took the three of them to the second phase of the project not far away. It was still under construction, but the prototype was already visible. There were three buildings in total. Xia Lin introduced them to him."

"Hehe, Brother yao and sister-in-law mei fang are planning to do tea wholesale. This time, they are lucky." Li Haitang had come here in his previous life, and it was indeed a famous wholesale market in the central and southern regions in later life. Later on, it became bigger and bigger, occupying a large area of the city center, and there were many logistics companies around it, which once became the most congested area in the provincial city.

Li Haitang had told her on the phone before that he wanted her to help him get another shop. Xia Lin gave them a prepared answer today. Also, the rent is 20 % higher than the first phase of the project."

This rent increase was normal. They could understand. Wang Yao and Duan Meifang looked at each other and decided on the spot, "Mr. Xia Lin, can you book a shop for us now? The average position is about 60 square meters." They had already discussed privately that the tea wholesale shop did not need a large store, just enough samples.

Xia Lin nodded and agreed, "Yes, I'll take you there in the afternoon, and I'll rent one myself."

"Xia Lin, do you want another room? What are you selling this time?" Li Haitang had never heard her talk about it before.

Xia Lin's lips curled up slightly and said, "Well, it's also a temporary idea. It was only agreed with my brother last night. Our brother and sister are planning to open a luggage wholesale store. Ling Miaoer has an acquaintance who can provide the goods."

Li Haitang raised an eyebrow, "Anyway, it's managed by someone. You don't have to worry too much. You can open another store."

"Li Haitang, the two of us used our own money to open the store. We didn't ask our parents for a penny. The money might not be enough. You, a rich woman, will have to help us." Xia Lin was now familiar with her, and not only did she speak more, she was no longer so distant and polite.

Li Haitang agreed immediately, "No problem. Take it anytime within ten thousand. If it's more than ten thousand, you have to give me some buffer time." No way, the money in her hand had already promised to go to Ji Dongming's side and would not move easily. The money in her hand that could flow was only the nearly 20,000 that Wang Yao gave her last year.

Xia Lin rolled his eyes. It was different to talk to a rich woman. Ten thousand was as easy as a dollar. She smiled and suggested, "Li Haitang, do you want another one? I can rent a shop."

Li Haitang pondered for a moment about her proposal, then thought about it, turned to Wang Yao and asked, "Brother yao, do you think we should open a subsidiary food factory in the provincial city and get a store in the wholesale market to sell our sweets to the province?"

"Haitang, actually, I've thought about this before. It's just that we bought a house in the county last year and borrowed some money to expand our business for our brother-in-law. Now we're opening a tea wholesale department. We don't have that much money in our hands." Wang Yao spoke of his difficulties.

Li Haitang's face was a little ugly, "Brother yao, you don't have enough money. You can look for me. Why didn't you tell me?"

"Hehe, haitang, your money has been invested in your friend's factory, so we didn't say anything." Duan Meifang had thought about telling her before, but then he stopped thinking and decided to push the wholesale of sugar.

Li Haitang's smile froze slightly and sighed, "Brother yao, sister-in-law mei fang, you are all working at the side food factory. I have nothing to do but provide some recipes. You have to tell me that it is difficult to expand the business. You know, I'm not good at other things, but it's not a problem to get some money in a short time."

"Li Haitang, are you showing off?" Xia Lin was amused by her.

Wang Yao and Duan Meifang couldn't help but laugh.

Li Haitang was just teasing them on purpose. He smiled and said, "I'm telling the truth. We don't need much money to open a subsidiary food factory in the provincial capital. Brother yao, put it all together and see how much is missing. Tell me the number. I'll figure it out. As for the Sugar wholesale division, I'll do it myself."

Wang Yao smiled brightly and said, "Okay. Your sister-in-law mei fang and I have limited energy. A factory and a wholesale department are just fine. We may not be able to handle the extra stores for the time being. You are much more capable than us. Sugar wholesale division is better run by yourself."

Duan Meifang thought the same way. Now that sugar is wholesale to the whole province, she has a lot to do. She thought she was a capable person, but she still had old people and children at home, and she had to find the energy to take care of them. It was not easy to manage a factory.

Li Haitang, who had known them for so long, naturally understood their personalities and smiled. "Well, then we can think of something else."

Wang Yao and Duan Meifang nodded. They didn't treat her like a child. They thought they were far inferior to her in many ways. They believed that the future would not be bad if they followed her.

Li Haitang thought about it and patted Xia Lin on the shoulder next to him. "Xia Lin, tell me the number of shops you still need. My friend's factory won't start until the end of april to the beginning of may. The money can be put on hold. We'll take care of the wholesale market here. I'll think of a way to make it up during this time."

"Okay."

After the matter was settled, Xia Lin drove them to a restaurant in the provincial capital with a good business for a big meal. In the middle, her brother Xia Jin also came over and thanked Li Haitang specially.

After dinner, Xia Lin took everyone to go through the formalities and sent Wang Li and the others to a large park nearby. He asked them to play in the park for a while, then they came to pick them up after they finished their work.

Seeing the car disappear in front of her eyes, wang li pouted and said weakly, "Hey, we are obviously about the same age as haitang. Why do I think she is an adult and we are all children who haven't grown up?"

Li Yongchun and Li Rong had the same feeling and smiled helplessly. The gap between them was really too big. The two of them had lived in the provincial capital for more than two years and knew the park well. They had visited it once or twice and were familiar with it. They took the three of Li Tao in.

With xia jin and Xia Lin brothers and sisters around, the rental of the store was quickly completed. The shops of the Xia family brothers and sisters were in the first building of the second phase of the project, while the sugar and tea were in the third building. Zi qiange and the wang family discussed renting the two shops together, so it would be convenient to manage them.

After the shop was confirmed, Xia Lin took the time to send Li Haitang to the train station to buy a ticket to Yangcheng.

On the eleventh day of the first month of nineteen eighty-nine, a group of people, led by Li Haitang, got on the train and headed south for Yangcheng.

The children who took the train for the first time were so excited that they felt as if they had been beaten up with chicken blood. They looked at everything in a new way, without blinking, at the roaring mountains, trees and railway tracks outside, afraid of missing out on something new that they had never seen before.

After watching for an hour, Li Haitang couldn't help but tease the most excited Wang Tiao and Li Tao. He took out four sets of poker cards from his schoolbag. Eight people, who were divided into two tables, began the most easy to pass the time upgrade card entertainment.

After sitting on the train for more than ten hours, even the most energetic children were displeased. Around 10 pm, the announcer finally arrived at the terminus station, Yangcheng railway station.

Li Haitang woke up Wang Li, who was about to fall asleep on her body, and then called out the others. Each of them took their own bags and backpacks and got out of the car with the army. When she got out of the car, she specially told a few young people to be close to everyone.

Wang Yao held Wang Tiao's hand, duan meifang held Wang Li, Li Haitang held Li Tao, and the other two men who were about to grow up naturally followed closely behind them. After leaving the train station, although there were dim street lights outside, there were still some signs on the road that could not be seen clearly.

Li Haitang had been there before, so naturally he had some impressions. He took them through the big square in front of him, found the bus stop, and caught the last bus that passed by the hotel where he stayed last time.

"It's really a good thing that haitang came with us this time. If we were alone, we wouldn't know what to do in the middle of the night. Those who don't know each other well wouldn't know where to find a place to live." Sitting on the bus seat, Duan Meifang rubbed her aching temples. This trip was not easy. She couldn't remember how many times she had taken.

Wang Yao smiled gently and said, "It's hard not to be sure the first time. Let's go back and buy a map and take a good look. Pay more attention to the names of the places these days. Next time you come, you won't be so nervous."

"Yes."

After arriving at the hotel, Li Haitang opened a double room, two single rooms, and let Li Tao and Wang Tiao two small rooms and Li Rong Li Yongchun stay in one room. Outside the house, everyone was not so particular. After washing up casually, they laid down and rested.

During their two days in Yangcheng, they had been on their way from dawn until it was dark before they returned to the hotel to rest. Although everyone was tired, they were very excited, especially the Wang Yao couple and Li Rong and Li Yongchun who came with a purpose.

Although Yangcheng's prosperity had been heard many times in the tv and newspaper, it was better to see it than to hear it. It was only when you saw it on the scene that you knew what the news was saying was true. After two busy days, at noon, they found a shop to eat lunch. During lunch, Wang Yao and Duan Meifang made a decision. "Haitang, we discussed that the provincial wholesale market will do tea wholesale, and we will buy from Fangcun, Yangcheng."

"Is it from your friend's shop?" Li Haitang asked. They went to see his friend yesterday. The shop was very big, and there were all kinds of tea, and the price was fair.

Wang yao smiled and said, "Yes, just buy from his store. I just called him to ask him some details, and your sister-in-law mei fang and I were satisfied in every aspect. The owner of the other side knew that we had just opened a new tea shop and promised to send someone to the provincial capital to help us."

Li Haitang's eyes lit up when he heard this. He smiled and said, "This boss is a real person."

"Yes, my friend said that their boss has a good character and is especially honest, so his business is getting bigger and bigger, but he has millions of assets in two or three years." Ten thousand yuan household was an amazing existence in this era, and the other party was already a million yuan household. This was no better than not knowing.

The other minors had seen too many new things in the past few days and heard a lot of "Legends." They were much calmer now, but when they heard the word "Millions of assets," they were still stunned.

When their business was settled, Li Haitang looked at Li Rong and Li Yongchun. "Where are you two?"

The two people she named looked at each other and Li Yongchun answered, "Li Haitang, we're going to get some belts to sell first. We don't have as much capital as brother yao's family. We can only make a small fuss first and then grow bigger when we have money."

"Belt?"

Li Yongchun took out a piece of leather from his backpack and introduced it to them, "I bought it in the market today. The wholesale price here is only one yuan each. In the province and city, the ones that are slightly worse than this belt are sold for two yuan each. If we wholesale it at one time for more than two thousand yuan, we can give a 10 % discount, which is only ninety cents each."

"What's the wholesale price in the provincial capital?" Wang Yao touched the quality of the belt and asked.

Li Rong had asked around at school before and removed the belt from his belt. "The wholesale price of this one and two I'm wearing is one and two, but the quality and style are not as good as the one in your hand."

Wang Yao took the comparison and nodded, "It's really a lot worse. You probably have a wholesale price of up to seventy or eighty cents here."

Li Rong smiled and said, "Yes, I saw it at the belt store today, and I specifically asked for the price. The wholesale price is 751 yuan, and there are more discounts for one time."

"How much do you two plan to buy this time?" Li Haitang was concerned about this.

Speaking of this, Li Yongchun rubbed his head awkwardly. "We both gave half of our family's money during the new year, and now they only add up to 600 yuan."

"Do you want me to lend you some? You can get a 10 % discount for two thousand yuan, but you have to earn two hundred more." Li Haitang knew that the two of them must be embarrassed to speak, so he took the initiative to bring it up.

"Hehe, we want to borrow some from you too, just..." Li Rong giggled.

Li Haitang smiled. What he didn't say after that was what she thought. She didn't say anything. She took out a stack of reunion from her schoolbag, counted it, and handed it to them, "Two thousand yuan, is that enough?"

"Enough, enough." The two of them nodded repeatedly. They had originally thought that it would be enough to borrow 1,500 yuan, but they did not expect that she would sell for 2,000 yuan. With her money, they would have a lot more money in their hands.

Li Haitang took out a pen and paper, wrote down the address of the Clothing wholesale division, gave it to the two of them, and said, "Then you two go to stock now, let the store owner deliver the goods to my wholesale department, and when the time comes, you two go directly to the store to pick up the goods after you return to the provincial city."

"Okay, thank you." Li Yongchun picked it up and was about to leave when he said, "Li Haitang, give me the pen and paper. We'll make a note."

Li Haitang paused and smiled, "Well, there's a business model."

After they left, Wang Yao and Duan Meifang also took a taxi to talk about tea. Li Haitang, four minors, sat in the shop for a while, then went to the leather goods wholesale market nearby. She and wang li bought two suitcases, and also bought a schoolbag for Li Tao and Wang Tiao, and picked out a few pairs of shoes for the elders at home that were of the right price and style. There were also some seven or eight small things.

After everything was settled, they boarded the train back to tan city on the evening of the thirteenth day of the first month. After swaying in the green car for more than ten hours, they arrived at tan city at dawn the next day, while Li Rong and Li Yongchun got off early at the provincial station.

Li Haitang took them back to the wholesale department to wash up and rest. Around ten o' clock, Wang Yao and Duan Meifang returned to Shaoxian with Wang Li, Wang Tiao and Li Tao, ready to catch the afternoon bus back to Ping shan town.

As soon as they left, Li Haitang threw herself into bed again. The golden nest was not as good as her own doghouse. No matter how comfortable and clean the bed outside the hotel was, she always felt that it was not as good as sleeping at home. In about two minutes, she fell asleep in a daze.
