Chapter 139: Money Rolls In!
Jia Lei's 600 containers were only half dismantled on the first day, because the light was poor at night, so Jia Lei asked the workers to go back and come back tomorrow to continue unpacking.
"Ding Dong! Ding Dong!" At six o'clock in the morning, the doorbell rang vigorously, and several bodyguards glanced at each other, and finally Xiang Xi walked over and looked through the door mirror.
"It's Jia Lei's third aunt and the father and son of the Zhou family, and there are seven or eight people I don't know. Open the door?" said Xiang Xi back to the crowd.
"Let's go, don't say anything else, Sanni and Master Zhou must let them in. Tong Yang thought for a while and said, he nodded to Xiang Xi and asked him to let people in.

"Oh, this is the legendary presidential suite, isn't it? It's so foreign! it's beautiful!" said a couple of men and women who had come with Sanni as they walked in, one of them with a dirty shoe that left black footprints on the carpet.
"Is Jia Lei still sleeping? Sanni, you go and wake him up, we have something to talk to him." Master Zhou sat on the sofa and asked, and Sanni immediately answered and walked into the bedroom inside.
"My shoes are so dirty, I'm sorry. Hang Yu, who had helped Jia Lei build the kang at the beginning, looked at the black footprints on the carpet and said embarrassedly.
"It's not that I said you, you don't change into good clothes and shoes even though you know that you are going to come to such a high-end place. One woman complained about him.
"Didn't you bring me in just after the night shift?" Hang Yu retorted.
"I don't have time to change my clothes, so you can at least change your shoes! I don't know how to wash such a good carpet when it gets dirty?" his wife continued to complain.
"I didn't expect this, I won't get the sofa dirty, right?" Hang Yu asked restlessly, he was even afraid that the sofa would be dirty, so he quickly stood up and took a look.
"I'll take a look for you......" his wife, Li Ke, looked behind him.
"Uncle Hang, it's okay, you can sit down, don't be afraid if you get dirty! Someone will come here every day to clean it, and someone will change the carpet if it is dirty. Jia Lei said while yawning in his pajamas.
"Really? Then I'm relieved. After Hang Yu finished speaking, he carefully sat on the edge of the sofa.
In the early 90s, people had limited knowledge! There was always an inexplicable sense of awe for the high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade decorations, especially the luxurious presidential suites of high-end five-star hotels run by foreigners, which made many first-time visitors uncomfortable.
"Is there something wrong with you coming to me so early?" Jia Lei asked as he rubbed his eyes and forced his spirits.
It's not even six o'clock!
Jia Lei wakes up at 7:30 and gets up at 8 o'clock every day, and he hasn't slept enough now.
"We're looking for you for something, and that's about last night's trucks. Master Zhou looked at the people around him and was embarrassed to speak, so he had to speak for everyone.
"What's wrong with the car?" asked Jia Lei confusedly.
"Most of the people who helped you work yesterday were factory people, and everyone went home and told you about selling your car for 40,000 yuan a piece. It's not ...... When the relatives and friends of the family heard about this, they all wanted to buy a car at a cheap price. Master Zhou said.
"Do you mean that they are all here to buy cars?" Jia Lei asked when he looked up and saw a dozen people sitting in the living room.
"Yes, we're all here to buy cars. Hang Yu's wife Li Ke immediately replied.
"But that car is quite expensive? It costs 40,000 yuan a car, can the people in the factory afford it?" Jia Lei asked with a little suspicion.
40,000 yuan is indeed the cheapest price in the car sales industry, but this figure is an astronomical amount for the average working family in the early 90s!
"Your car doesn't sell expensive! It's not expensive at all! We've never seen a car that cheap. Hang Yu hurriedly said.
As soon as his daughter-in-law heard about it, she found the unit and pulled him out who was at work, and insisted that he also follow the others to ask, Hang Yu's wife wanted to let Jia Lei sell them a car cheaper with the past relationship between the two families.
"Uncle Hang, I have to remind you that my cars are all old and refurbished, and most of the parts are made of plastic. It looked pretty decent, but the materials it used were completely different from the kind of cars that run on the street. Jia Lei hurriedly said.
He carefully explained to the people in the house the true situation of these Soviet-made "Sputnik" cars, for fear that some people would regret buying the car without knowing it.
"Of course we all know that, and when you were talking to that guy yesterday, someone was listening, so all of us who work know what this car is like. Master Zhou said.
When I was working, I didn't delay talking, and of course this novelty was the topic of all the workers present.
"Okay, everyone knows. If you really want to buy it, I'll sell it to you, and I'll have someone call the accountant of the resort, and you can just give him the money and go to the dock to pick a car yourself. Jia Lei said.
"Ahem!" Sanni hurriedly coughed, and Jia Lei looked over when he heard the sound.
"Jia Lei, you shouldn't have forgotten that the clubkeeper of the resort colluded with someone to commit perjury to frame you, and he has been fired by Sister Jin. Sanni hurriedly said.
"Of course I know, I'm talking about the new accounting for the resort. Jia Lei said.
Many private enterprises and small and medium-sized bosses want to hire an accountant with an accounting certificate. Sanni hurriedly said.
"I'm a stinky brain! I didn't ask you beforehand, I forgot that there are very few literate people now, and professional talents such as accountants are even more sought-after. Jia Lei patted his head and said.
After 30 years in the talent market, Jia Lei, who competed for the job fair for the same position by 10,000 people, really forgot that now, these professionals can not only wait to be picked by the company's father, but have many rights to pick and choose their work units.
Of course, this situation only appears in private enterprises, and the fathers of state-owned enterprises still have the right to pick and choose candidates.

"Since the resort has no accounting now, who will calculate the accounts of the resort?" Jia Lei asked curiously.
"Ms. Jin calculates herself, although she can't make a ledger, but the number is okay. Anyway, now that we have a calculator, it's a big deal that we press it twice. Sanni said.
"Then let's do it first! When I'm done here, I'll go and recruit an accountant for the resort." Jia Lei said.
"How can you do a business as big as you without an accountant?" Master Zhou asked with a frown when he heard this.
"Aren't we trying to find a way to recruit people, anyway, the accounts of the resort are simple, just sell tickets and eat and drink, and everyone can deal with it for a day or two for the time being. Jia Lei said.
"Hey, you hairy children are not reliable in business! In this way, the accountant Zhou in our factory is a relative of me, although he has been retired for half a year, but his brain is not confused. I'll call in a moment and ask him to come over and help you temporarily!" said Master Zhou.
"Accountant Zhou of our factory?" Jia Lei thought about it, and always felt that this person was familiar.
"Could it be that you're talking about Chow Tai Fook's grandfather?" Mr. Zhou, right?" Jia Lei asked, the appearance of a thin black old man holding a cigarette pouch in his mind.
"Yes! That's him. Master Zhou nodded and said.
"Then I'll rest assured, I've seen the ability of the old shopkeeper Zhou! The speed of counting money is brushed, and he is a good hand at both bookkeeping and account books. In particular, his old man's character is very good! He will definitely not manipulate his accounts and embezzle public funds. Jia Lei said.
The things that will be remembered are decided, and the rest of the car is just a money transaction!
Jia Lei said to the people in the house that as long as they brought the money in the next few days, he would sell them a car. Unexpectedly, as soon as the words were finished, someone really took out a large stack of money wrapped in newspaper from his bag and pushed it over.
"You're too anxious, aren't you? The bank hasn't opened yet, where did you get so much money?" asked Jia Lei with a smile.
This man he knew, a small clerk in the purchasing department of their textile factory.
"The old lady at home likes to hide money in the closet, so I borrowed some from other relatives and friends, just enough to scrape together 40,000 yuan. Wei Danlu said.
No one in the room believed what he said!
Everyone is a person in the factory, who doesn't know the greasy thing in the purchasing department, which of these people in the procurement department of the factory is not rich.
Just 40,000 yuan is really not a big deal for these people!
However, this is the unique national condition of China, almost every place in the country is like this, everyone turns a blind eye, and no one speaks out to expose Wei Danlu's lies.
"Okay, then you can follow us to the dock to pick up the car later. Jia Lei nodded and said.
"Since you're here so early, you must not have eaten yet, right? I'd like to invite you down to the buffet. It's not a good thing, but there's a lot of variety of dishes here. Jia Lei said that the others were immediately overjoyed.
In the early 90s, I was able to eat a Western buffet and I could go back and show off to my relatives and friends around me for a year.

"Boss, let's accompany you to the dock today, so many cars have to be sold, someone has to help." Pete asked.
"No need for you! Father Farr and Mei Qing are still busy helping me with the innocence lawsuit, so don't bother them with anything now. As for you, you'd better take the others and go to the city hall to help me get my money back! Jia Lei thought about it and said.
"Boss, what did you say about the last account?" asked Pete curiously.
"This is a bit troublesome......" Jia Lei said worriedly as he pressed his temples.
"What's the trouble? We are foreign businessmen, and they dare not default on our payment. Pete said.
His emotional intelligence is particularly high, and he only spent a few days in China to understand the attitude of foreign businessmen in China.
"It's not about money, it's mainly because I didn't want money for the last batch of goods...... Jia Lei said a little embarrassed.
"If the payment is not money, what else can it be?" asked Pete curiously.
"It's a thousand public toilets. Jia Lei turned his head and said embarrassedly.
"Boss, I know you rich people have a lot of quirks, but I didn't expect your hobby to be collecting public toilets!
"! Who has quirks? Who loves to collect public toilets! Is this a business? These public toilets are charged, and they have been delaying me for almost a month, and they have not given me the drawings of the place where the toilets were built and the urban planning bureau. I'm afraid that if I don't let people urge me again, they will forget about it!" Jia Lei said.
"Do public toilets make money? I don't believe it!" Pete said, shaking his head.
"We don't have much else in China, but there are a lot of people! When I take you to the major scenic spots during the National Day holiday, you will see the hundreds of meters long queue in front of the public toilet to know how profitable this thing is. Jia Lei said confidently.
I want to talk about "Rebirth 1990: The Invisible Rich" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
