In the early 1980s, only a handful of households had black-and-white TV sets, and most of them were nine-inch TVs. There are only two or three brands of domestically produced TV sets, and all picture tubes are imported. In fact, the domestic TV factory is just an assembly factory. It is such a simple assembly, but the quality is not stable. In addition, the planned economy also relies on ticket supply, so ordinary people cannot buy it even if they have money.
In such a situation where there was huge demand in the market, smuggling became the most common source of goods in short supply at that time. At that time, the country had just started reforming and opening up, and its grip on smuggling was not particularly tight. Some bold, well-connected and capable people joined the ranks of smuggling, and a one-stop sales chain was soon formed.
Xu Lina helped him lie back on the bed and said, "Don't be happy yet. Although I got the goods, I have to go to a town on the outskirts of the provincial capital to pick up the goods, and I have to bring so much cash. I'm worried that something will happen. I don't want to do this. Let my colleagues in the county supply and marketing cooperative know, but I don¡¯t want to interact with those people in society, so I have to discuss it with you.¡±
He had already put on his clothes and got out of bed, and said kindly to Ailian: "Go and pour the guests a cup of tea. I want one too." Ailian smiled and left the room.
He stared into Xu Lina's eyes and asked: "How many units are there in total? How much is the purchase price? How big are they? The most critical question is the person you contacted. Is the channel of the goods reliable? Although it is smuggling, are there any formalities when arriving in the mainland? Is it all legal?¡±
Xu Lina was stunned by his series of questions. She thought that he would not know about the TV when he was still in school and would just fuck with her without asking. She didn't expect that he actually knew more than she did.
She asked in confusion: "How can there be legal procedures for smuggling? It must be illegal. You can't make money without taking some risks."
His eyelashes kept blinking, and he rolled his eyes twice and said: "It seems that you, a professional buyer, have not studied well. You don't even know about the legalization of smuggling. Let me tell you! People who have the ability can smuggle As soon as the goods landed, the normal import procedures were completed through the relationship. Of course, the procedures must be fake. Then when this batch of goods is sold to the mainland, it becomes a normal commodity circulation. Such goods are in the mainland industry and commerce. The department will not investigate and deal with it.
Of course, since there is no risk in selling such goods in the mainland, every link is covered with legality. They are generally sold through your supply and marketing cooperative department, so the price is relatively high. The goods are also particularly difficult to obtain.
The other is purely individual or private group behavior. This kind of goods has been hidden from view since it was illegal. You have to be careful in everything. If you are caught, the goods may be confiscated, or even detained! This kind of goods is relatively cheap because of its high risk. But is there a way to ¡®find wealth and wealth in danger¡¯?
Tell me, what kind of goods do you have? I have to understand the situation and see if it's worth the risk. "
Xu Lina held the tea cup handed over by Ailian, her hands were shaking a little, and she almost spilled the tea on her own hands. She was extremely surprised and said: "How do you know this? Listening to you, it seems like you have done smuggling many times. ."
After Ai Lian listened to a long section of what he said, the hand holding the tea cup trembled even more, and she spilled the tea cup on his hand, which made him scream. Ailian's voice also became trembling as she said, "Brother Hei Dan, I don't want you to do anything illegal. If you are really caught, your father will definitely be mad at you."
He suddenly realized that he should not discuss this business with Xu Lina in front of Ailian. The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the safer it is.
He pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Just because I know the details of the smuggling business and know that it is illegal, I have never been involved in such a business. Sister Xu, please don't say more. I don't care about your business." Do."
As he spoke, he gave Xu Lina a hint of color. After Ailian said those words, Xu Lina also felt that she shouldn't talk about the smuggling business in front of a girl.
She said regretfully: "Since you said so, I won't do this business. I finally came here once, and you must entertain me well for dinner. If you have any delicious food in your factory, you can treat me tonight ."
He looked at his watch and saw that he would be leaving get off work in more than twenty minutes. He called his eldest brother loudly: "Hanwu, come here and buy five kilograms of xiaolongbaozi. Let's drink porridge and eat xiaolongbaozi tonight."
Both Hanwu and his younger brother rushed into the room and said excitedly: "Brother, please buy another two kilograms of pig's trotters! My mistress and I are both greedy."
"Okay, two kilograms of braised pig's trotters, two kilograms of five-spice beef, five kilograms of steamed buns, eat as much as you want."
The two younger brothers took the twenty yuan he gave them and left. He then said to Ailian: "Don't go back and have dinner with us. No, you should go back and say hello to your parents!"
Ailian hesitated and said, "I'd better go back."?I still have to cook dinner for them! Leave some delicious food for me. I'll come after dinner. I'm going back. Ailian gave him a friendly look, nodded to Xu Lina, opened the door and left.
The room fell silent, and neither of them said a word. Xu Lina sat on the bed next to him, hugged his shoulders tightly, kissed him deeply on the cheek, and when she wanted to kiss his lips, he leaned back and avoided it.
"While there's no one around, let's discuss the business! Is your batch of goods without legal procedures? How many units are there? It's your first time dealing with smugglers. Don't buy too much. You need to find out first. The bottom line is, you need to fix the channels before you can do something big." He said slyly.
"I listen to you, what do you think of 100 units? The price is not very expensive, 300 yuan each, and they are all 14 inches. Nowadays, the profit of 9 inches is too little." She touched his face and said .
"The cost of one hundred units is 30,000 yuan. I think it's okay. It's best to get two military vehicles to load the goods. No one will check them on the road. After the goods arrive, it's safer to put them in the army's warehouse. What do you think?"
"Of course that's fine, but where can we get military vehicles? The military's warehouses are very strictly controlled."
"Don't worry about it. I will be responsible for transportation, storage, and sales. You only need to contact the source of goods and ensure the quality of the products. Don't get fake or used goods. Before the transaction, you'd better bring someone who understands electrical appliances. Come over and inspect the goods.¡±
"Don't worry about the supply of goods! The supplier, he and my brother are college classmates, and his dad is also a bureau-level leader in the province. He is trying to see if he can get the legal procedures!"
When he heard this, he patted her hand excitedly and said: "If we can really get the legal procedures, we will make a fortune. We can sell TVs blatantly. In that case, we can sell as many TVs as we have. At least one Earn three hundred dollars.¡±
She also jumped on him excitedly, pinched his nose and said: "Hanwen, why do you think you know everything! I love you so much. I'll wait for you! Wait until you are twenty. , let¡¯s get married.¡±
He was so pressed by her that he could hardly breathe. He pushed her away desperately and gasped: "Sister Xu, do you think that is possible? When I am twenty, you will be twenty-five. Can your family allow you to get married at the age of twenty-five? Besides, if your parents find out, they will definitely not agree. Besides, if I get into college, I won't be allowed to get married at all."
She lay on the bed with her eyes closed, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes to the sheets. She said sadly: "I know you don't love me. If you really love me, age and family obstruction are not a problem. I am just testing. I'm just testing you. Don't worry, I won't hinder your future. My mother has introduced me to a son, the regional commercial director's son, who is three years older than me and graduated from college this year. I'm going to the province these days. When I'm doing business, I'll go and see him, and we'll get married as long as we're close."
He wanted to comfort her, but didn't know what to say. He and she can be business partners, siblings, and lovers, but they cannot be lovers or husband and wife. He knew that what he really loved was Yuhe.
He didn¡¯t want to talk about feelings with her, so he changed the topic and asked, ¡°When are you going to make the transaction? I can arrange the car and warehouse.¡±
"How about next Saturday night? You just caught a bad cold, so you should take a good rest. Besides, I also know that starting next Tuesday, you will have your final exam. When you are better and the final exam is over, it will be better to pick up the goods. Concentrate."
He held her hand gratefully and said, "Thank you! You have thought of everything so thoughtfully for me. If you need my help in the future, I will never hesitate to do so."
She smiled slightly: "Don't worry! I won't let you die for me. I want to keep you well for my torture and entertainment. I want to see what kind of woman you, a playboy, can find. Wife."
He didn¡¯t answer her words, stood up and added some hot water to her teacup. Stretching, he walked to the window and looked out. The two younger brothers walked excitedly towards the building door carrying two big cloth bags. He looked at his watch and it was six o'clock in one minute. Soon the streets will be flooded with people leaving get off work.
He turned around and said seriously: "Sister Xu, for this business, you must control the supply of goods. Don't let too many people know about it. If people talk too much, trouble may occur in any link. And don¡¯t mention the business we want to do in front of my family. They are all honest people who have never seen the world. They will be scared to death when they hear about the smuggling business."
She nodded and assured: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone except you and me. After you finish the exam, you must come to my house and we will make a specific action plan. What day of the week can you come?" "
He thought for a while and said: "I will finish the exam on Thursday and go to implement the military vehicles and equipment on Friday."Warehouse matters. What do you think of coming to your house on Friday night? Are your parents at home? "
She said mysteriously: "When we don't get to my house, the supply and marketing cooperative allocated a small room for me. Although it is only 12 square meters, I have already packed it up and it is a very warm little nest. When the time comes, we can do whatever we want. How about it. Friday night, I¡¯ll have a meal waiting for you.¡±
As soon as she finished speaking, her two brothers entered the door. He nodded to her: "That's it, see you on Friday night. Please let me know if there are any changes."
She nodded knowingly and helped her two brothers prepare dinner.
