Chapter 105 Business is business, and favors are favors
Li Dayong, Hu Man, Jiang Xiaoyan and others "waited until the clouds opened to see the moonlight in Qingshui County, waiting for the notice",
However, Emperor Li Ye, the core figure of the eight-person small group, took his business team and went through all kinds of hardships to reach the southeastern coast of China and formed a long queue outside a small street.
“Brother Peng, why are there so many people? There are more people than when we watch the lanterns in Qingshui County.”
“Brother Sanshui, after we enter the customs later, will we Can we see Hong Kong Island? This is considered a trip abroad, right?”
"."
The two young men looked eagerly at the five to six hundred meter long team in front of them, feeling impatient and excited.
"Shut your mouths, haven't you seen the way others look at you? How can I talk to you when I come out?
When you see something you don't understand, pretend to understand, and ask again later, In front of so many people, you are still chirping, do you think others don’t know that you are country bumpkins?”
Jin Peng’s number one Ma Zai Sanshui squirted at a few raw melon eggs who had just joined the team. , with a face full of disgust and impatience.
These three people were brought here by Jin Peng from his hometown in Qingshui. Two of them were named Mu Weimin and Ma Qianshan. They were all homeless people in the county. "Brother is short" is extremely affectionate,
but Sanshui, who has been living in Yangcheng for more than half a year, feels that these two guys are stupid and have no value in training and training,
It wasn't because everyone was from Qingshui and cared about their loyalty to the world that Sanshui didn't bother to pay attention to them.
As for the other man named Zou Zhiguo, he was dumbfounded for a long time and couldn't say a word. He couldn't even call out "Brother Sanshui". If it weren't for having something to do with Li Ye, Sanshui wouldn't even want to look at it. He glanced.
"Brother Sanshui, let's not talk about them. When I first came here, I was a foreigner who didn't know anything. I got to know them for a few days and it was enough."
A middle-aged man who was following Li Ye and others came out in time to smooth things over, and received grateful looks from two people who were spat at.
Sanshui also saw Jin Peng's displeased look, and walked down the slope and said: "We have gone through so much trouble to get the certificates, what should we do if they are so cunning and make people suspicious? I don't want to It will hurt everyone."
The middle-aged man said carelessly: "It's okay, don't worry, our relationship is strong. I’m very knowledgeable and I’ll ensure that you pass the test without incident.”
Sanshui nodded and said with a smile, “It’s really my fault this time, Boss Zhang. If it weren’t for Boss Zhang, no one would have been able to do it.” Come with a special pass"
"What the hell, Boss Zhang, I am just a small businessman, you are the big boss"
While boss Zhang was bragging and spanking with Sanshui, he kept glancing at Li Ye.
He is quite familiar with this Sanshui, and he often sells him rare goods. In the past, I only knew that he was a shopkeeper who looked after the shop, and there were two "bosses" who had the final say.< br>
The two bosses are not based in Yangcheng, but they have a strong control over Sanshui. A few days ago, they themselves talked about swaying Sanshui to cooperate in the parallel import motorcycle business, but the boss above them sent a telegram. , Sanshui wilted.
Boss Zhang finally met Hao Jian a few days ago. He is indeed a very shrewd person with a great style and great potential for cooperation. He decided to make a good friend,
but After he met a few more people from the north yesterday, Boss Zhang vaguely discovered that the young man named "Xiaoye" looked very extraordinary.
Hao Jian, and the one named Jin Peng, settled business matters with their words, but when facing Xiao Ye, they were vaguely in awe.
Respect and fear are the most intuitive feelings of Boss Zhang.
Boss Zhang is sizing up Li Ye, and Li Ye naturally knows it.
This time he followed Jin Peng and brought three newcomers to Yangcheng. He originally didn't want to deal with this boss Zhang.
A person who dared to drive parallel-imported motorcycles to the north was very bold and dangerous in this season of 1982.
Whether it's his own business or connecting with the big boss behind him, Li Ye doesn't want to get involved in this kind of business.
The inside of your butt is not clean. Even if you put on eight pairs of pants from now on, there will still be a smell. Once someone is watching, it will not be wiped off no matter how hard you wipe it off.
But Li Ye stayed in Yangcheng for several days, and when he wanted to take Jin Peng and others to see the "Sino-British Street" in front of him, he encountered difficulties.
Zhongying Street started in 1898 and flourished from 1980 to 1997. During the 17-year glorious period, tens of thousands of "tourists" entered the gate every day.
If Li Ye and Jin Peng want to enter this small street, they need to arrive in Pengcheng with a border defense permit.
"Border Defense Permit" is a screening method used by China for people going to border areas. If you have a bad record or are suspected of being bad, you are not allowed to go near the border.
The card is very strict these days. Those in need need to apply for a border defense permit at the corresponding local agency with a letter of introduction.
Li Ye will definitely not be able to apply for it. It will be great for you to travel to the motherland. There are many beautiful scenic spots in China, such as rivers and mountains, and there is no valid reason to go to border areas.
And even if you have a border defense permit, you can only go to Pengcheng. If you want to go to Zhongying Street, you have to apply for a special pass.
Ordinary people really can’t go through these procedures.
So Li Ye asked Hao Jian to find Guo Donglun for help.
Unexpectedly, Hao Jian hit a wall. Guo Donglun, who was "omnipotent" in Yangcheng, expressed his inability to do anything.
Li Ye was about to think of another way, but Sanshui brought the boss Zhang over and said, "This certificate and that certificate are all trivial matters."
Don't hit the smiling man. , otherwise they will become enemies.
So in the end, Hao Jian paid enough money to complete all the procedures for the eight people who were traveling with him.
"Hey, darling, no wonder Guo Donglun doesn't want us to come here. I dare you to compare his products with those here!"
Jin Peng and others, who had been waiting in line for a long time, entered the Zhongying The street was dazzled.
When mainlanders arrived at Zhongying Street in 1982, it was as if they had left the country.
Looking to the west, you will see Hong Kong Island.
In the street-facing shops on both sides of the small street, there are all kinds of clothing, accessories, small department stores, and electronic goods from the new dynasty.
< br>
The clothes in the store, in terms of style, texture, fashion, etc., all beat the ones Hao Jian got from Guo Donglun.
So Jin Peng and Hao Jian both thought that Guo Donglun did something unethical this time.
But Li Ye said: "Guo Donglun may not be unjust. Although the goods here are good, they are not suitable for us now."
"The shops here are mainly retail. You It’s just a small matter of buying a few or a dozen pieces. Is it possible to order thousands or tens of thousands of pieces?”
Do you know what customs declaration is? Is there any approval document?
In fact, in the first few years after the reform, the prosperity of Yangcheng exceeded Pengcheng. It was not until the situation turned warm again a few years later that Pengcheng rose at an alarming rate.
The place that can provide a large number of cheap clothing and department stores is still Yangcheng.
After listening to Li Ye's words, Sanshui said with some grudge: "Then why doesn't Guo Donglun help us with the procedures? What is he afraid of?"
Li Ye pursed his lips towards the south and said : "He is afraid that you will run over there! He has issued a certificate for you. If you run over there, wouldn't you be causing trouble for him?"
The Sha Tau Kok area where Zhongying Street is located, in a certain During the craziest period of time, it has been one of the most rampant places for theft.
The colorful world over there still has a magical appeal to mainlanders today.
Li Ye went south to Yangcheng this time and brought Wang Jianqiang and three new faces with him.
How dare Guo Donglun guarantee that these new faces will not get confused and become gangsters?
"We are so familiar, how can he look at us like this? I think he is just unjust"
Sanshui is still a little unconvinced. Guo Donglun is very mysterious.< br>
Sanshui has been stationed in Yangcheng for more than half a year and has not seen Guo Donglun a few times. He usually communicates by phone.
Although the delivery and receipt of goods went extremely smoothly, Guo Donglun's faint sense of superiority made him Sanshui always feels awkward.
Li Ye glanced at Sanshui, his eyes gradually becoming sharper.
I was right to go south to Yangcheng this time. The start-up team that developed wildly was like a green tree that grew disorderly, with tangled branches. It needed me, the gardener, to prune it in time.
When there were no outsiders around, he said coldly: "You have been in the south for so long, haven't you figured out the temperament of the southerners? Business is business, and relationships are relationships. Certain risks, people I have no obligation to help you share the burden.”
For many years after the reform, southerners did business in a different way from northerners.
They regard business very purely, it is a matter of you making money, me making money, and we both benefit from cooperation.
No matter how familiar the customer is, when negotiating the price, you still have to compare every penny.
After the business is concluded, no matter whether it is successful or not, you can It doesn't matter if it costs tens of thousands to serve the dragon for a while, I don't care.
When people from the north talk about business, we have to have a good drink first, then we have to finalize the contract at the wine table in a daze.
I couldn't believe it and thought I had met a liar.
Well, when I get into trouble, you have to give me a hand!
Sanshui is the idea of a businessman from the north, and Guo Donglun is the standard style of the south.
I will handle business matters for you clearly, and I can also help with anything you need. Help, but I don't think it's appropriate, sorry, no mercy.
"Hey, Xiaoye, you see everyone else is busy, we can't just watch, right?"
Jin Peng saw Sanshui's head drooped by Li Yexun, and quickly changed the subject to attract Li Ye's attention.
Because Sanshui had thought about selling motorcycles, Li Ye was already unhappy with Sanshui's lack of caution. If he choked on something, he, the elder brother, would be caught in the middle.
Li Ye waved his hand and said: "Go! Everyone, please be careful and don't treat the soldiers as cadres, let alone treat them as blind people."
Zhongying Street Chief is no better than Five hundred meters, the width is only seven or eight meters, but even such a small street is divided into two parts in the middle.
Before 1985, "tourists" who entered Chung Ying Street were not allowed to buy things privately in the shops on the west side of Hong Kong Island. They could only browse the shops on the east side controlled by the mainland.
There is a clear sign at the entrance of Zhongying Street - "Any cadres and employees who enter the town with a special permit are not allowed to cross the boundary. Anyone who violates this will be severely punished."
But the small street is only seven meters wide and is divided into two areas in the middle. No matter how strict and responsible the patrols are, they cannot stop countless mainlanders from craving for imported goods.
Are the products in shops on the mainland better than those on Hong Kong Island?
Tens of thousands of people entered the 500-meter small street at once, and they were not real "tourists". How could you see the crowds of people ready to move?
So someone took advantage of the management staff's view being blocked, ran a few steps quickly, and entered the store on the west side of Hong Kong Island to shop.
There were even friends who cooperated and bought things on the east side. Just throw the bag over, carry it and leave, it's as exciting as filming a movie.
Jin Peng, Hao Jian and others followed suit. The six of them were divided into groups. They watched the patrol officers vigilantly and ran to the shop opposite when they got the chance.
Only the naive Wang Jianqiang was left, huddled next to Li Ye, greedy but afraid.
"Don't worry, Qiangzi. Whatever you want to buy later, I promise to buy it for you."
"Yeah, yeah, I listen to my brother."
Wang Jianqiang stayed close to Li Ye, walking, but his eyes were staring at a shop opposite and he couldn't pull it out.
Li Ye took a look, what a good guy!
As thin as cicada wings, silky and smooth, this is the favorite of countless boys, girls, old men and women - stockings.
The stockings from 1982, even if they are not worn on a pair of straight long legs, can still cause a critical hit with seventy layers of superimposed BUFF on an honest kid like Wang Jianqiang.
You ask why? Because at the door of that store, there were several posters of models as tall as one person, black, white, transparent, and flesh-colored, which attracted the attention of many men.
Of course, for Wang Jianqiang’s rank, what he is looking for is not the socks, but the legs.
When you reach the level of Li Ye, you can see much more profoundly, what is true and what is false, inside and outside, there are many changes.
“Hadron, do you have a partner?”
“Brother, I don’t have a partner yet!”
"Then why are you looking at those things? Want to buy a pair for your mother?"
"I'm sorry, brother, I shouldn't look at them."
Wang Jianqiang lowered his head in shame, careful He pulled up his shirt to cover his pants.
"Cough, Qiangzi, look after someone for me!"
"."
Wang Jianqiang looked up strangely, only to find that Li Ye had already run over at lightning speed.
Wang Jianqiang kept his eyes open and it took him a few seconds to understand.
"Brother Xiao Ye is a man who has a partner. If he can buy it, I have to help him stand guard."
The naive Wang Jianqiang transformed into a loyal sentry, watching all the risks around him.
After a while, Li Ye came back quickly.
Of course he didn't buy those stockings, but he bought a large pack of sports socks and socks of various colors and styles.
Wen Leyu will definitely not wear long stockings, but sports socks! It fits Xiao Nizi’s innocent image very well.
"Hey, there is a sports shoe store, Qiangzi, do you want to buy you a pair?"
"Okay, okay, brother, I have money"
" No, I’ll give it to you.”
Li Ye saw a shoe store. There were several familiar sports shoes in it, and one of them had the design elements of couple's shoes.
You must buy it.
Wang Jianqiang stood on this side of the street and watched Li Ye duck over, chattering to him in bird language, and finally chose five pairs of shoes of different sizes.
Then, Wang Jianqiang saw Li Ye counting a lot of money to others, and the amount turned out to be hundreds or even thousands.
When Li Ye came back, Wang Jianqiang hurriedly wanted to give Li Ye money, but was stopped by Li Ye who had a brain breakdown.
"Brother, why are they so expensive?"
Wang Jianqiang held a pair of soft shoes and looked at the "check mark" mark on them, feeling distressed and happy at the same time.
The feel is different, absolutely different. I have never touched such good shoes in my whole life.
"It's a world famous brand. If you want to wear it, don't worry about money."
"Brother, I'm a little worried about money."
"Don't worry, Qiangzi. If you follow me, you won't be short of money for anything."
Li Ye said it coolly, but he was also cursing secretly in his heart.
[Black, really dark, you all just wait for me. If I don’t force you to pay a bargain price in the future, it won’t be counted as the money you cheated on me today. 】
