That same evening.

Lao Chen was so angry that he found Qian Chong in the wholesale store.

"What about Qian Chong?" said Lao Chen loudly as soon as he ran in.

It was Qian Ming who received him, frowning and saying, "My brother went to Loujiang Pan Rice Factory, what's the matter?"

Lao Chen exclaimed angrily: "Didn't you cut off Lao Zhang's goods? Where did their family's 20,000 catties of rice come from today?"

Qian Ming was stunned for a moment, and then resolutely denied it: "Impossible, they didn't take a grain of rice from us when they came over last night!"

"How is it impossible?" Lao Chen said excitedly: "At noon today, I watched their family move into the store for 20,000 catties of rice, and now it's okay, their family is doing promotions and lottery again!"

"Didn't his family promise to end?" Qian Ming wondered.

Lao Chen sighed and said: "The first two days were over, and today I started doing this again, you don't know, their business is booming today, I took a look, at least 3,000 catties of rice were sold in one afternoon, and I robbed a lot of business, alas!"

"Ah, is there such a thing?" Qian Ming was surprised at first, and then seemed to think of something, patted his thigh and said: "I know what's going on, it must be the rice that Lao Wei and they helped his family enter, and I wonder why Lao Wei and his brother-in-law suddenly came over in the morning and bought 20,000 catties of rice!"

Lao Chen looked resentful, and yelled: "Out of stock!

Qian Ming's face was not very good-looking, and he frowned and said: "Not very good, seven or eight families, not a small profit, it is already too much to promise the rice to break the old Zhang family's rice." ”

"I don't care, I have to cut off their goods!" Lao Chen lost his mind a little, and said sharply: "If you don't do it, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Qian Ming was angry, but when he thought of Lao Chen grabbing the evidence of their crimes, he was silent for a while, and then laughed and said: "Lao Chen, Lao Chen, don't be angry, I'll call my brother and see what he says." ”

"That's pretty much it. Lao Chen said with satisfaction.

Qian Ming's eyes inadvertently flashed a hint of fierceness.

……

The next day, in the rice shop.

Zhang Wei yawned and lay on the recliner, he didn't sleep well last night, all he was thinking about was how to deal with the existing predicament, although the purchase of goods does not have to worry for the time being, but it will definitely be discovered after a long time, it is better to make plans early.

Father and Wu Bin carried oil drums, and mother carried egg baskets, and just put them in front of the door, Wei Shuilin and his younger brother Wei Hailin hurried over.

"Water forest sea forest. ”

"Uncle Shuilin, Uncle Hailin. ”

"Uncle Shui Lin, Uncle Hai Lin. ”

Zhang Wei's family and Wu Bin all said hello.

After Wei Shuilin and the brothers sat down, Zhang Wei became puzzled, why did he come here early in the morning without doing business? It is worth mentioning that although Wei Hailin looks very similar to Wei Shuilin, his personality is completely different, the elder brother is righteous and heroic, and the younger brother is narrow-minded.

Wei Shuilin's face was a little solemn, and he said carefully: "This morning, Shanghai Lin went to Qian Chong to buy the goods, but he didn't get rice, and I heard Qian Ming say that he would not supply our Haitong people in the future, the reason is that I and Jianguo secretly helped your family buy goods, I'm afraid this time it's really troublesome!"

Although it was a particularly hot day in July, after Wei Shuilin finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene was suddenly cold and terrifying!

Cut off all the goods of the Haitong people? Doesn't that mean that Zhang Wei's family will have no rice to sell after buying 20,000 catties? This time, the family of three, including the small worker Wu Bin, all showed sad faces.

It's too much! Forget it if I cut off my goods, but it will also hurt the fish in the pond and cut off other people's goods? Qian Chong is going to break the net with the fish? Zhang Wei was indignant.

Wei Hailin was a little dissatisfied: "If it weren't for your family offending Boss Qian, we wouldn't have cut off our goods!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Wei Shuilin scolded, turned his head to Zhang Wei's family and apologized: "Hailin doesn't mean anything else, it's just that Zhang is unhappy if the business can't be opened today, don't take it to heart." ”

Zhang Wei frowned, why is there such a big gap between the brothers of the same father and mother?

Thinking that the Haitong people were collectively cut off from the goods, Zhang Wei began to wonder in his heart again, Lao Chen has such a great influence on Qian Chong's side? Seven or eight Haitong people say more or less, and Zhang Wei's family can sell 145 catties of rice every day on average, and according to the wholesale price of Qian Chong, he can earn 14,500 yuan a day from Haitong people, which is a profit of 500,000 or 600,000 yuan a year!

Wei Shuilin said again: "I ran away from several families just now, except for your family, everyone else is running out of rice, and they don't know what to do." ”

Zhang Wei raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "Why don't you go far away to buy goods? If the outside wholesalers don't come in, it doesn't mean that we can't find out." That's all he can think of for the time being.

Zhang Aiguo and his wife's eyes lit up with hope.

Wei Hailin said angrily: "If you can, I won't come to discuss with you like this." ”

"Hailin!" Wei Shuilin snorted, and when he saw that his brother had no voice, he smiled bitterly: "Hailin's words are not very good, but he is not wrong, your family has not been in the Bay Area for a long time, and you may not know too much about Qian Chong." ”

"Oh, what's going on?" Zhang Wei asked, doesn't this way work?

"Qian Chong is the overlord of the rice market in the Bay Area, and you all know it. Wei Shuilin confessed: "He is ruthless, as long as the competitors are all miserable by him, I remember that two years ago a wholesaler was killed by him, the police have no evidence, which is why Qian Chong can stand in the Bay Area." ”

So fierce?

Qian Chong actually has the guts to kill someone?

Zhang Wei was a little surprised, this is indeed a bit ruthless, no matter how ruthless ordinary people are, how can they kill people? If he really goes to someone else to get the goods, will Qian Chong be so ruthless?

Zhang Aiguo and his wife are both honest people, and they couldn't help but tremble when they heard this.

"However, Qian Chong generally only engages in competitors, that is, those wholesalers, and they will not sell rice to us, maybe they can't get into his eyes!" Wei Shuilin gave everyone a reassurance, and then said: "In the past, there were people who went out to get rice by themselves like Xiaowei said, but Qian Chong led people to beat the wholesalers who supplied them half to death in the middle of the night, and those wholesalers outside heard that we in the Bay Area would never supply us." ”

Zhang Wei asked, "What happened to the person who went out to get rice by himself?"

"What else? Wei Hailin said, he said bitterly: "Did your family offend Boss Qian or something? Go and ask Boss Qian, he is still quite broad-minded." ”

Huh, it's okay if it's nothing, Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, as for what Wei Hailin said later, it was directly ignored, if it was useful to ask Qian Chong, it wouldn't be like this, it was clearly Lao Chen who was stumbling behind his back, Qian Chong would definitely not be able to supply, what we have to consider now is how to find a supply channel.

"Nonsense, how can he be broad-minded?" Wei Shuilin said angrily, raising his hand to hit his brother: "You are trying to pit the second child's family, how can I have a brother like you?"

"Uncle Shuilin, don't fight. ”

"Don't fight in the water forest, don't fight. ”

Zhang Wei's family stopped them, and Wei Hailin was really silent this time.

When the scene calmed down, Zhang Wei said: "You also said just now, if we go out to get rice by ourselves, Qian Chong shouldn't do anything to us, right?"

Everyone's eyes converged on Zhang Wei, and Wei Shuilin nodded in response: "Yes." ”

"That's a lot simpler. Zhang Wei said calmly: "Since the wholesalers are not willing to wholesale rice to sell rice to us in the Bay Area, then we will go directly to the rice factory to enter the rice!"

Since you are going to run out of stock, then we will not play with you! Zhang Wei made up his mind that from now on, he will never take goods from Qian Chong again.

"Rice mills, but we don't know where there are rice mills!" Wei Shui Lin said.

Everyone agreed, Zhang Wei also fell silent, indeed, there are almost no rice factories near the magic capital, all the rice is transported from other places, just now did not consider this link, failure!

"Hey, if you really know where there is a rice factory, you don't have to be so annoyed!" Wei Shuilin sighed.

Everyone present fell into silence, and the stock was out of stock, which was too worrying.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Zhang Wei suddenly thought of something, and the corners of his mouth crossed an arc, there is a way!

When Uncle first came to the magic capital to sell rice, there was no rice supplier in the Bay Area, but he pushed his bicycle to Gusu Loujiang every night to transport rice, Zhang Wei remembered so clearly because he once talked to his mother about the business of the uncle's family, and at that time he heard an incredible answer.

A bicycle loaded with five or six hundred pounds of rice, pushed to walk forty or fifty kilometers of night road, such a thing in later generations sounded almost impossible, let alone with a bicycle loaded with five or six hundred pounds of rice to push away, even if only to hold on to it is difficult to maintain balance, but this kind of thing that we think is impossible did happen in the early 90s.

The advantage of memory!

"Mom and Dad, Uncle Shuilin. Zhang Wei shouted, probably because of Wei Hailin's tone and attitude just now, he selectively ignored it when he shouted.

Everyone looked at Zhang Wei suspiciously, and Zhang Aiguo couldn't help but say, "Xiaowei, do you have any way?"

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Zhang Wei did not hesitate and said: "I overheard my uncle say that he didn't take rice in the Loujiang Rice Factory before?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, Loujiang is forty or fifty kilometers away from the Bay Area, even if you ride a tricycle, you can get there, this news is really timely rain!

Wei Hailin stood up violently and exclaimed: "I also heard my brother-in-law say this, Xiaowei didn't say that I forgot about it, my memory is really good!"

Fortunately, Cheng Lin got excited and hugged Zhang Wei, kissed him and said, "My Xiaowei is really a lucky star!"

Wei Shuilin couldn't help but boast: "It's really a lucky star, you can still be in danger at this time, thinking of what your brother-in-law said inadvertently, Xiaowei, how do you really have a brain?"

Zhang Aiguo said proudly: "Of course my son is different!"

Seeing everyone's reaction, Zhang Wei couldn't cry or laugh, didn't he just remember one thing? Besides, even if he didn't go to Loujiang, it was a big deal to go far to Yanshi, there were more rice factories there, and he almost mentioned this just now, but fortunately, he temporarily thought that the uncle had gone to Loujiang to get rice.

Zhang Wei continued to make suggestions and said, "Isn't Qian Chong cutting off all of our goods now?

"Yes, without further ado, I'll go talk to my brother-in-law. Wei Shuilin stood up and wanted to leave.

Zhang Wei hurriedly said: "My dad and I will also go together, Mom, you and Wu Bin will look at the store." ”

The out-of-stock thing is definitely difficult for Zhang Wei!
