Chapter 625: On the Black Market
The neighboring city is close to the Bohai Bay, and an old wharf brings together ships from the north to the south. It is not as good as the port throughput of first-tier cities, but it also has a benefit to being small. The black market is big and numerous!
Zhang Guoqing followed his memories of coming to the past and galloped all the way in the direction of one of the big black markets. This is still a good place recommended by Liu Laosan before. They basically have some insider tips for scalping.
This black market is different from other places in petty fighting, similar to a wholesale point for reselling hawkers. The location is in an underground cave in the suburbs, and there are trains running by not far away, and there are snakeheads and vendors who come to trade from 12 o'clock to 3 o'clock in the morning every day.
Before he came, he was worried that it would be closed. After all, it's too ostentatious, no matter how strong the identity of the person behind the scenes is, can he still resist the whole situation?
But as he got closer and closer, he looked at one or two sneaky pedestrians on bicycles that happened to appear on the dirt road leading there, and half a stone fell in his heart.
As for the remaining half, he still has to wait for him to find his target.
Zhang Guoqing drove to a nearby stop and woke up Zhou Jiao.
"It's here!"
The couple took advantage of the darkness to fill the rear compartment with supplies and then made sure that nothing was missing. Zhang Guoqing nodded at her, got out of the car, and watched Zhou Jiao sit in the driver's seat.
"Whenever something is wrong, use drugs. It's okay to die in this place. If you can't do it, you can drive back and wait for me at the intersection of our county. ”
Zhou Jiao nodded calmly. She's already been on a mission once, okay? I don't know who the rookie is. Now she can't wait to come to a few people who are not long-eyed, and come to a three-light policy. Of course, it's better to kill them all!
"Then I'll pass. When I come back, I shake the flashlight five times. Three up and two down. ”
"Go ahead, be careful!" Zhou Jiao couldn't help but smile and waved goodbye. She wanted to laugh just by remembering the hint of five shakes. Because I often see people in the black market answering and shaking three times!
What is three up, two down? It's Zhang Guoqing who wants to go to the sky three times and her side twice. made it mysterious, which made Zhou Jiao laugh.
Here, Zhang Guoqing was carrying a black bag in his hand and hurriedly walked inside. After looking around, his eyes were fixed on a middle-aged man who had been traded.
The sideburns on the other party's face are too attractive and outstanding. Even after many years, Zhang Guoqing's memory is still fresh. When they met for the first time, he still thought in his heart that if the other party was exposed, as long as he scraped it clean, it was estimated that no one in his family would be able to recognize the true face of Lushan.
Zhang Guoqing stepped forward and gestured to him, stretched open the mouth of the bag, and let the other party look at the vodka and several other samples inside, and he immediately put away the bag.
"Brother."
Zhang Guoqing looked at the surprise that flashed in his eyes, and followed him to turn around and gesture behind his back, explaining various quantities and prices.
Since it is a foreign product, Zhang Guoqing has no intention of lowering the price. Nowadays, it is not easy to buy liquor on the market, but it is not easy to smell it.
In addition to money, this time he mainly wanted to exchange for national food stamps. As for the other bills, he didn't ask for them. If you have it, you can do it, and if you have a ticket, you are not afraid that you can't spend it.
A trace of hesitation flashed in the other party's eyes, and finally handed the stall to a young man beside him, carrying a big black bag, and led two people out of the door with Zhang Guoqing.
Zhang Guoqing's eyes flashed as he watched him pull out a cart with rubber-bottomed wheels from the turn of the door. Xindao This person may be able to count all of these statuses.
The black market has the rules of the black market, and even the big black market is more disciplined. Both sides know that they can't ask where the goods come from, and they can't take the opportunity to inquire, otherwise the deal will be in vain.
Zhou Jiao was actually not very far away from the car, less than 500 meters away. When she found Zhang Guoqing approaching with a flashlight, looking at the three men next to him and a king-size cart in front of her, her eyes lit up.
Before anyone could get closer, she drove forward a little further. If the price is right, she doesn't mind another car. She regretted that she hadn't touched the truck in the car in the first place? Of course, she also understands that if the truck is loaded into the space, there is really no room for supplies.
But who is she? She's a woman. Zhou Jiao made a perfect excuse for her boring thoughts on the way to wait. I was looking forward to someone to rob him, but unfortunately the occasional few shadows saw the car run faster.
Zhang Guoqing nodded at her, and he smiled as he watched her sit quietly in the car and didn't get out. Their daughter-in-law is smart, this one is not right, they want to grab the goods, but they can't run away after grabbing things!
The couple looked at each other tacitly and smiled with the mind of "hello, hello, everyone, you play, we won't take it lightly".
Zhang Guoqing opened the back door, and after letting them see it, he randomly checked a few boxes of things underneath. He leaned on the door of the car and took the middle-aged man's black cloth bag, opened it and handed it to Zhou Jiao.
The middle-aged man then took out two dozen new coins with a face value of ten yuan from his trouser pockets on both sides, took a stack of food stamps handed over by his subordinates, and handed them to Zhang Guoqing.
Zhou Jiao quickly checked whether there were any counterfeit banknotes, roughly estimated the number, and compared it to Zhang Guoqing.
Seeing this, Zhang Guoqing moved away and asked them to move the goods, while he walked outside the driver's seat and handed the remaining money ticket to his daughter-in-law in the car.
To do this kind of trading, it is important to pay attention to speed. Soon the car was emptied, and one of the young men grinned and pointed to the goods and nodded at the middle-aged man.
Zhang Guoqing estimated that he should have said that this batch of goods was good.
Sure enough, he was right. The middle-aged man waved his hand and asked the two of them to push the car back first, looked at the car himself, paced to him, and whispered, "How much stock do you have, how much I eat." ”
Zhang Guoqing looked at him, "There is still a car, half an hour back and forth." Lack of time? ”
Of course, he had more than one car, but he didn't plan to get rid of too much at once. It's not that I'm worried that the other party doesn't have enough money, but it's too eye-catching. There are so many black markets in neighboring provinces and cities that he doesn't need to be entangled here, he can't take risks.
The middle-aged man smiled, nodded slightly, and gestured for half an hour while still trading here. It will not arrive at one o'clock in the morning, half an hour is just right, and if it is too late, it will delay today's shipment.
Zhang Guoqing got into the car and waved at him. Watching Zhou Jiao start the car quickly, he realized that he had overlooked a detail before - forgetting to reverse. Luckily, everything went well, otherwise it would have been a slow run.
Zhou Jiao hummed a little song happily, she had just estimated that she had made a lot of money this time, especially the 1,000 catties of food stamps that made her heart flutter.
"Well done! Two thousand catties of food stamps are enough to top for a period of time. ”
"I don't plan to use these food stamps. It's ready to be kept just in case. ”
Zhou Jiao nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, listen to your arrangement." So, are you going to sell coal next? ”
"No, I don't. Or according to your original plan. ”
Zhang Guoqing is very aware of his daughter-in-law's ability. She has repeatedly scrutinized it before, and she has to add it herself. The preparations have been done for so long, there is no need to change.
As for why food stamps? That's also the fear that if there is a mission to go away, I won't be able to take food out of the space. Or it's inconvenient to be outside.
