According to the rules, Xu Damao returned home on the first day of the year.
When Father Xu and Mother Xu saw the big and small gifts that Xu Damao brought back, they couldn't stop smiling. Xu Damao didn't hide anything and told Father Xu about what he was about to do. Father Xu said happily,"Our family needs a leader!"
"Then, if you become a cadre, will you be able to enter a special supply store in the future?" Mrs. Xu asked excitedly.”
"It's still early!" Xu Damao smiled and shook his head.
In this era, the special supply store was modeled after the big brother's small white birch tree store. It was not open to ordinary people and was only specially supplied to the officials. It provided rare goods that were hard to buy outside, such as Moutai, Chinese wine, perfume, whiskey, caviar, foie gras, and other common items. The prices were also very low.
Xu Damao had heard people say that the fat yellow croaker there was only 0.46 yuan per catty. The big watermelon with black tendons was eight cents per catty! Each of them was as big as a basketball, sweet and delicious.
Unfortunately, even Deputy Factory Manager Li might not be able to get in.
On the same level as the special supply store was Donghua Gate's Friendship Store. It had just opened last year, but its reputation had spread far and wide."We want the best products on the market. We must have the goods that are lacking in the market. We have to have something that is popular overseas!”
The signboards of this era were not fake.
In comparison, Wangfujing's department store was only considered average. Even so, it was still a high-end place that ordinary people could not afford.
Xu Damao only stayed for lunch, then he slowly rode back to the courtyard house. On the way, he stopped at the repair shop at the corner of the street.
"Boss, how much do you charge for an 80% new permanent bicycle?”
The shop owner checked the car carefully and found that the car was well maintained. He made a three gesture without batting an eyelid."130 yuan!"
Xu Damao shook his head. I bought this car for more than 600 yuan last year. Your price is a little too much!”
"This is a small business," the shop owner smiled apologetically. Besides, I also bear the risk of speculating, right?”
"It's still too low. I'll go to other shops to take a look.”
"Cough cough, how about this? I'll give you the highest price, 150 yuan! If you don't believe me, you can go to another alley. There's no higher price than mine.”
"180 yuan! Why don't I go around again?"
" Ah... this..." The shop owner looked conflicted and hesitant.
"I still have something to do today. I hope you have prepared the money when I come again.”
Xu Damao didn't waste any time and rode his bike out of the alley.
In fact, the 130 yuan offered by the boss had already tempted him. In January this year, the Ministry of Commerce would put bicycles on the list of high-end goods. The high price of 300-600 yuan would no longer exist, but would stabilize at around 120 yuan. It was almost a cliff-like plunge.
In other words, if he sold this old model 28 Perpetual a month ago, he would be able to buy a new model Phoenix Type 18 in a month's time. Moreover, it would come with a large chain case, plated single frame, plated rear frame, and a bell. This was the so-called original " high configuration."
However, in business, one had to sell it at the highest price. In another half a month, if they still could not find a buyer, they would definitely make a profit by selling it for 150 yuan.
Just as Xu Damao left, the woman who had been hiding at the entrance of the alley and observing in secret came out. Her face was filled with excitement and excitement. She ran all the way to the supply and marketing cooperative and asked the clerk,"Excuse me, what is the current price of the model 28 permanent bicycle?”
" It's 650 yuan," the cashier said enthusiastically." You can buy it with the ticket. We happen to have another one. May I ask…"
"I'm just asking. I'm not buying!"
"Hey, who is this!"
650 yuan!
Yu Li jogged out of the supply and marketing cooperative with excitement on her face. She felt that she had grasped a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity!
When she returned home, she saw Yan Jiecheng half-collapsed on the chair and basking in the sun. She was furious. She was so annoyed by his cowardly appearance that she kicked him down.
"Wife, wife, when did you come back?”Yan Jiecheng scratched his head awkwardly.
"Look at how useless you are. You can't even take a pie from the sky!”
"Look at what you're saying. With our dad's scheming skills, even if he catches the pie, there won't be a few sesame seeds left in his hands.”Yan Jiecheng sighed helplessly.
As the son of the third uncle, he only had a little living expenses every month. Even the living expenses had to be calculated. Not to mention the extra money, he had to pay rent to live at home. After listening to the radio for a while, he even had to pay for the electricity!
"There's a huge opportunity to make money now!”Yu Li said excitedly," When I passed by the repair shop just now, guess who I bumped into?”
"Who is it?"
"Xu Damao!" Yu Li looked around mysteriously and even closed the door, afraid that someone would eavesdrop." He plans to sell the permanent bicycle for only 180 yuan! I even specially went to the supply and marketing cooperative to ask. A new Perpetual 28 costs 650 yuan! Xu Damao's car was 80% new!”
"180 yuan! 650 yuan…"
Yan Jiecheng muttered as his eyes gradually lit up.
Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes. The son of a mouse can dig holes. Yan Jiecheng wasn't the only one who had learned Third Master's scheming skills. Even Yu Li, who had been influenced by him, had become more meticulous.
"Wife, I think this will work! If we buy Xu Damao's bicycle, even if it's 80% new, we'll still make a profit!”
Yan Jiecheng was excited. He roughly calculated that they could earn 400 yuan from this!
They had never seen so much money in their lives!!
"But, where did we get 180 yuan? I don't even have 10 yuan in my pocket.”Yan Jiecheng looked bitter.
Yu Li gritted her teeth and said," I still have some savings on hand. If it really doesn't work, I'll borrow some from my family. It just so happens that Haitang's salary is about to be paid. Call her over in two days."”
Yan Jiecheng also said," Then I'll borrow it from Mom. At most, I'll just follow the rules and pay 10% interest."”
"But then again, we have to find Xu Damao and convince him to sell the car to us. Otherwise, won't we be working for nothing?”
Yu Li was still thinking about how to talk to Xu Damao quietly when Third Aunt knocked on the door.
"Yu Li, come and stew two chickens. There are guests at home.”
"Sure, Mom, no problem!" Yan Jiecheng's eyes lit up. He took the two chickens in a fawning manner and drooled." We can have chicken tonight!"”
"Mom, who's coming to our house for dinner?" Yu Li asked casually.
"Hi, Xu Damao! He came over to discuss with your dad how to deal with Silly Zhu!”Third Aunt carried a pile of mountain products and said happily," This Da Mao is indeed the best in our courtyard. They gave us so many good things."”
Xu Damao?
Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng looked at each other. This was really a pillow for sleeping!!
(The contract has been sent out, and the editor has advised me not to go too fast. It will affect my results. Cough, cough…I guarantee that I'll release a lot of updates!)）
