"Owner, this is where we farm fruit and vegetables. Old Hans took Jia Lei to a vegetable market in East Berlin and said.

"Old Hans, you're here again, what did you bring this time?" Along the way, there were many stall owners who greeted Old Hans.

"I brought strawberries from the farm! they're so sweet!" said Hans Sr.

"Strawberries? The strawberries that come to market so early will definitely sell for a good price. Someone complimented old Hans with joy when he heard this laugh.

"Boss, we're here, this is our stall!" said Old Hans, beckoning the shopkeeper to help bring a dozen boxes of strawberries to the store.

Jia Lei took people to the store to take a look around, and found that the business of this store is very poor, the price of apples in the store is 30% higher than that of many stores, and many apples have turned yellow, and they have been put away for a long time.

"What's the matter with these apples, why are they so expensive?" Jia Lei asked with a frown.

"This is already the lowest price, and if the price is lower, we will lose money. Said the fruit shopkeeper.

"But you can't sell it at this price, you see the apples are going to rot. What should I do?" asked Jia Lei, pointing to a few yellowed apples.

"Hey! a few more!" the shopkeeper sighed, and took the bad apples aside and threw them away, while the yellowed ones were placed in a pile of apples on sale.

"You know about price reductions, I thought you didn't understand. Jia Lei looked at the special price area and said, here are a few women who came in and picked out some special apples.

"We have a new strawberry here, it's very sweet! would you like to buy some?" asked old Hans hurriedly.

"Strawberries? A woman said with interest.

"Here!" said old Hans, leading the man to the window shelf, where the newly marketed strawberries were being placed.

"Looks good, I don't know if it's sweet or not?" someone said.

"You can taste one and you'll know. Jia Lei walked over and handed over a small strawberry, and the woman took it and tasted it.

"It's delicious, how much is a kilogram?" the woman asked.

"Six marks a pound!" said old Hans.

"6 marks 1 kg? It's too expensive, the store in West Berlin only sells 4 marks 1 kg. The woman said with a frown.

"It's not strawberry season yet, so it's a bit expensive. Old Hans said a little weakly.

"Do strawberries in the city of West Berlin now sell for 4 marks and 1kg?" asked Jia Lei.

"Yes!" said the woman, who, although she was from East Berlin, often drove to West Berlin to buy groceries.

"We didn't know the price just now, but the strawberries we have here are actually 4 marks 1kg. Do you want to buy some?" Jia Lei said as he snatched the price tag that the shopkeeper was about to post, and erased the 6 on it and changed it to 4.

"Hey, your store has actually lowered the price? This has never happened, since there is such a good thing today, I will buy 1 kilogram of strawberries!" the woman quickly said as she watched the price reduction, after all, this strawberry is better than the average.

"Boss, we will lose money if the strawberries are sold for 4 marks a catty, and this price cannot be reduced! Let's change the price back, right?" said the old Hans anxiously, and several other guests also hurried to buy strawberries when they heard what the old Hans said, for fear that the price would rise again after a while.

Do you think strawberries are apples? Strawberries will rot if they can't be sold in three days! In the future, we will sell everything that comes out of our farm, and we will sell it at whatever price the vegetable market in West Berlin is!" Jia Lei said.

"But if you sell everything at the price of a farm in West Berlin, you will lose money?" asked old Hans.

"If everything can't be sold, wouldn't it be more of a loss? On the basis of all rotten, every pound sold is equivalent to making an extra pound of money! Now for me, if I can lose a little less money, I will make it!" Jia Lei said.

"After two days, we will bring in all the fruits and vegetables in stock for price reduction. Strive to sell them all within half a month!" Jia Lei said.

"But boss, it's illegal to give discounts without the approval of the government! The state does not allow merchants to engage in malicious price wars!" said Old Hans hurriedly.

"I didn't let you get a discount, you just put the price a little lower! It's about the same as the price of fruits and vegetables from East Germany! It's a big deal, let's get some plastic baskets and pots for fruits and vegetables as gifts, and the government doesn't regulate fruit packaging, right?" Jia Lei said, in this terrible world, is it illegal to even discount it?

"But you're going to lose money? Those plastic baskets cost money to buy. Hans asked.

"I'm willing to lose! You bring the not very good quality to the ZC bearing factory, and the canteen there will collect it." The money for the canteen will go directly to me, and I will keep it for your salary. Jia Lei said.

Will ZC Bearing Factory give money? Of course not!

It has no money, Jia Lei just doesn't want to spend money on other people's dishes while his own family vegetables are thrown away and rotten and no one buys them.

The most important thing is that he doesn't have to spend cash to buy his own food!

＊＊＊＊

Jia Lei found a market for the farm inventory, but the inventory of the bearing factory is not easy to do, those things are spare parts, Jia Lei may not be able to digest internally, and Jia Lei can only move the rescue.

"Grandpa, how are you doing lately? Jia Lei called Grandpa Wang and asked.

"I'm in good health, but my heart is a little bad! But the doctor said that this is the early stage, as long as I take medicine and treatment, I can control the disease. Grandpa Wang said that if Jia Lei hadn't specially dragged him to the hospital for examination, he wouldn't have known that he had heart disease.

"That's good, is my mother well, is there nothing at home?" Jia Lei asked again.

"Okay, all right! Don't you call back every month? Why do you still ask questions? If there is anything, just tell me directly!" said Grandpa Wang impatiently. He knew that Jia Lei was suddenly grinding and chattering on the phone, and there must be something wrong.

"I ...... What's wrong with me!" Jia Lei said subconsciously, he was suddenly exposed and a little embarrassed to admit it.

"It's okay, if it's okay, then I'll hang up...... Ah!" Grandpa Wang said, Xiao Yan still dared to pretend to him!

"Don't ...... I have something!" Jia Lei hurriedly said.

"Are you in trouble again?" asked Grandpa Wang.

"I didn't get into trouble!" Jia Lei immediately shook his head and said, but unfortunately the people on the other side of the ocean couldn't see it.

"Is there really no trouble? What is the matter with me?" asked Grandpa Wang.

"Grandpa, you teach physics, so do you know bearings?" Jia Lei asked cautiously.

"Yes, I went to study in the Soviet Union to study mechanical engineering. Grandpa Wang said.

"That's good, since you studied in the Soviet Union, it's even better!" Jia Lei patted his chest happily and said.

"What, do you still take this test in your school? Aren't you a primary school student, why do you ask Bearing?" Grandpa Wang asked suspiciously.

"I bought a bearing factory, but after I bought it, I was numb, I don't know anything about this thing! I don't know what to do now......" Jia Lei cried and pretended to be pitiful, he hoped that he would be able to scold him later.

"Smack!" came the sound of something falling on the ground across the phone.

"Medicine! Bring me the medicine!" Grandpa Wang shouted on the other side of the phone, and the uncle hurriedly stuffed the medicine into his mouth.

"Goo-dong!" Grandpa Wang put the medicine into his mouth, and the others put their hearts down.

"Boss, you answer the phone first and ask Jia Lei what's going on?" I have to ...... slowly," said Grandpa Wang, leaning on the sofa and touching his chest.

"Jia Lei, what did you say, scared Dad's heart attack?" asked Wang Chidao.

"Grandpa is alright?" Jia Lei asked anxiously.

"It's okay! My dad asked me to ask you about the situation, and he wanted to calm down. What the hell are you going to do, the smuggling affair has just passed, and the family is preparing to let you come back for the summer vacation. What trouble have you caused again?" asked Wang Chidao.

"I didn't get into trouble, I just bought a factory. Jia Lei whispered.

"I knew that your study abroad was just a pretense, and you must have gone to do business! But are there factories in the Soviet Union that will sell them? Aren't all factories in the Soviet Union state-owned enterprises?" Uncle Wang asked.

"I ...... I'm not in the Soviet Union!" Jia Lei said, looking up at the sky.

"Then where are you?" Uncle Wang's heart immediately lifted.

"I'm in East Germany!" Mr. Jia said.

"Whew...... Whew!" Uncle Wang took a few deep breaths to calm down.

"Hello Germany, the Soviet Union is going on a coup d'état, and I'm worried about your safety! Since you are hiding out, don't go back to the Soviet Union for the time being. Uncle Wang said.

"Don't grind with him, get down to business! Ask him what's going on in the bearing factory?" said Grandpa Wang loudly on the other side of the phone.

"What bearing factory?" Uncle Wang said in surprise, he asked Grandpa Wang.

"East Germany was going to be privatized, and many companies were being sold and auctioned, so I bought a bearing factory. Jia Lei said that he strives to simplify the process and the consequences together.

"Join in the fun and buy a bearing factory? Why can't you go to heaven? Can you join in the fun when buying a factory is such a big thing?" Grandpa Wang couldn't listen to it anymore, grabbed the phone and roared.

"Squeak-" Jia Lei's ears were shocked unprepared, and he hurriedly took the microphone to select a point.

"Isn't that cheap!" Jia Lei said.

"How cheap can it be, and how cheap can it be?" Grandpa Wang scolded.

"It's really cheap, a bearing factory plus an agricultural research institute with two farms for 2.5 million marks. Jia Lei argued.

"Smack!" The microphone on the other side fell, and Grandpa Wang went offline again, but fortunately, the effect of the medicine was still in the body.

"Grandpa is alright?" As soon as the person opposite picked up the microphone, Jia Lei hurriedly asked.

"It's okay, I'm just in a daze!" Uncle Wang said.

"I also heard what you just said, is it true?" Uncle Wang asked with a dry throat.

"It's true!" Jia Lei said affirmatively.

"But...... I'm afraid that a bearing factory is more than this price, right? There is also a research institute, this is too cheap, you should not have been deceived, right? There is no factory at all, you have been cheated out of money by a scammer? That's why you called back?" Uncle Wang immediately used logic to reason for the most reasonable reason.

"There are no liars! I bought two companies from the East German Trusteeship. Produced by the state, Tong Su is not bullied!" Jia Lei said.

"Then why is it so cheap, isn't this giving you money?" asked Uncle Wang.

"I sent 200,000 marks in cash to the director of the trusteeship bureau, that's why the price is so cheap!" Jia Lei fortunately told his uncle the truth.

"It's pretty much the same, but aren't you afraid of being caught for bribing?" the uncle asked worriedly.

"Don't be afraid! The Director of the Trusteeship has already died. Jia Lei said.

"Wait! I think I've heard this from somewhere?" the uncle asked.

After all, the political scope of their Beijing University is very strong, and there are even special faculties, and everyone is more concerned about international issues than ordinary people, and he heard about it when he was eating in the faculty cafeteria.

"He was shot dead and appeared in the overseas editions of all the newspapers in the world! I guess it should have been published in China, but the pages were very small. Jia Lei whispered.

"Is that the director who was shot, and who do you know?" said Uncle Wang.

"A lot! I know all kinds of messy people. Jia Lei replied.

"Ask him, what is the matter calling back?" Grandpa Wang came to his senses and shouted.

"What the hell are you calling back for?" asked Uncle Wang.

"The bearing factory I bought stopped production due to exchange rate problems, and now there are a lot of bearings in the warehouse that can't be sold, and I want my grandfather to think of a way. Jia Lei said.

"What bearings are there? I'll hear about them first. Uncle Wang asked.

"Oh, wait, I'll look for the information!" Jia Lei hurriedly rummaged through the information that Novan had sorted out.

"ZC Bearing Factory is an old German bearing factory, because of Germany's de-industrialization and pastoralization, the bearings now produced are mainly used in the Soviet machine tool parts and automobile industry, and only a small part is supplied to the Soviet military. Because the industrial development of East Germany was among the best in the Soviet Union, their products were also exported to Europe, but because of the recent unified exchange rate of the mark, the ex-factory price has increased by more than three times! Many bearings are rotten in the warehouse and cannot be sold, and if no one buys them, I am afraid that they will be sold in tatters. Jia Lei sighed and looked at a whole page of product introductions that he didn't understand at all.

"What kind of rags are you selling? That's all treasures, you dare to sell one and try it! You wait, I'll go to Berlin tomorrow." Grandpa Wang said.

"What are you doing here? Do you have a passport? It's not worth it when you come all the way here, I just want to ask if these things can still be used?" Jia Lei hurriedly said.

"Don't you know that our country can't make its own bearings? Our country can only make some low-end bearings, and high-end bearings can't be made at all! ZC Bearing Factory I have heard that it is one of the top bearing manufacturers in the world, specializing in the production of high-end bearings! Why do you dare to buy things without knowing anything?" Grandpa Wang said angrily.

"Anyway, I won't lose money by buying it, I just went to the land of their factory and the Agricultural Research Institute, how can this factory be so powerful? If I don't buy them, they will go bankrupt!" Jia Lei said in disbelief.

"What kind of shit luck have you taken? Are you not satisfied that you can pick up such a big pie for no reason?" said Grandpa Wang angrily.

＊＊＊＊

About the bearing is the pain of the Chinese people, even in the 12th Five-Year Plan period, the country is still emphasizing the development of basic industry, and strive to enter the high-end industrial level!

To put it simply, it is the high-end bearing that cannot be produced in China in 2017 - of course, the low-end products of the cottage can already be produced and sold by Huaxia.

This thing in Jia Lei's hands is not rare in the Germans, because the bearing factories in West Germany are more advanced than those in East Germany, but Huaxia is very rare!

High-end bearings have always been the heart disease of the country, or the kind that has not been cured for a long time!
