Chapter 337: Trading
The person who traded with Zhou Changli this morning has absolutely nothing to do with the small traders and peddlers.
After all, the small merchants and vendors are just trying to eat and beg for food and clothing.
But the people who traded with Zhou Changli this morning, their details have long been inquired about by Zhou Changli.
That group of people is in charge of the entire black market at Zhengyangmen, so let's not talk about what they do in it.
Let's just say that they are in charge of the entire black market to collect capitation fees, then it can be concluded that these people are not good at it.
After all, if they were really good people, they wouldn't be where they are now.
If you think about it, you know how can someone who has no means be in charge of the entire black market.
Just compare Lei Ye and Zhou Changli.
And this nature of theirs is not as simple as finding a way out and getting enough food and clothing.
But then again.
Why are so many small traders and hawkers taking risks in the black market in this era?
Although it is said that the public turns a blind eye to the existence of the black market, the existence of the black market itself is illegal.
If this is the case, how can there be so many phenomena?
In fact, the root cause of this problem is, in the final analysis, because of today's society.
In today's day and age, with a large population and few job places, it is naturally impossible for everyone to have their own job.
After all, the current job is called an iron rice bowl, and it is not just lip service that can be passed on to the next generation.
That's the way it is.
However, as the saying goes, there are policies at the top, and countermeasures at the bottom.
In addition to the jobs arranged by the government, the remaining people who do not have jobs naturally begin to find other ways to make money on their own.
After all, everyone has to eat, and they always have to feed their own families.
So all kinds of small traders and vendors in the pigeon market and black market were born.
Of course, there are so many people who are not assigned jobs, so naturally everyone can't run away to be a small trader and do something shady.
After all, the pigeon market and the black market don't have that big market, right?
Therefore, these people, in addition to the speculative industry, have also poured into all walks of life.
Whatever makes money, everyone will do.
Therefore, now in all walks of life and in the three religions and nine streams in Sijiu City, it can be said that there are many talents and a hundred flowers are blooming.
Straight to the point.
Let's go back to Zhou Changli and those people in Zhengyangmen.
When trading in the morning, Zhou Changli didn't know, they almost caused a conflict.
Speaking of which, Zhou Changli did something inauthentic first.
After all, the materials that were said to be good were reduced by one-third for no reason, and it was strange that people had no fire in their hearts.
If those people in Zhengyangmen take it back for retail, it's fine, if someone has booked it in advance, then the supplies are not enough now.
Doesn't this make people lose credibility and smash other people's jobs?
You need to know what people in the black market value the most?
It's reputation!
After all, without credibility, who will trust you and cooperate with you.
And it's all mixed in the black market, and there's no way to get a good temper.
But fortunately, the people on the Zhengyangmen side still need Zhou Changli's side to provide them with supplies.
That's why they swallowed this breath into their stomachs, and they didn't take advantage of the circumference.
After all, as long as the money is in place, there will be people who will eat the.
Compared to being able to make money, what's wrong with being a little angry?
It is precisely because the people on the other side of Zhengyangmen think this way that Zhou Changli was able to escape.
Otherwise, a conflict is inevitable.
Besides, even if there was a conflict and Zhou Changli suffered a loss in the end, then he had no place to reason, after all, he was the first to deal with this matter.
If he still wants to mix in this business, even if he has broken teeth, he will have to swallow it in his stomach.
It's a pity that Zhou Changli doesn't know it.
……………
"Big brother, see if it's them."
When Zhou Changli and the others were waiting boredly and their patience was about to run out, one of the younger brothers had sharp eyes, and after finding a few figures not far away, he immediately pointed in that direction and said to Zhou Changli.
"Oh."
Hearing this, Zhou Changli was also interested, only to see him deal with the little brother, and then also looked in the direction of the comer.
After a while, I saw that Zhou Changli did not respond for a long time.
Another little brother said loudly: "Big brother, let's say something!" Are those people we have to wait for? ”
was asked by his little brother one after another, and Zhou Changli's face was a little unbearable.
Although Zhou Changli also knows that it is indeed very sinful to wait for someone in this weather environment.
However, Zhou Changli's heart was also depressed, so he explained angrily:
"Urge, urge, urge, fart, hype, so far away, how can I see clearly!"
"Wait a little longer, and I'll know if they're the ones we're looking for."
Although Zhou Changli's tone was not very good, there was also an explanation in his words.
And what Zhou Changli said is also true, after all, not everyone can be the same as Li Yan, his body has been strengthened by the system, and he can see everything clearly from afar.
Besides, the weather is so bad now, the cold wind is blowing so cold that people can't open their eyes, and the distance is so far away, how can Zhou Changli see clearly.
It wasn't until a while, waiting for the person to come slowly closer, that Zhou Changli saw the person clearly, and then said to the two henchmen:
"That's right, it's them."
Hearing Zhou Changli's sure words, the two younger brothers replied with a smile: "Damn, I finally waited for them, it's really grinding, it's only here now." ”
However, although the two of them were still complaining, the joy on their faces was on the surface.
In fact, Zhou Changli can also empathize with the feelings of these two people, after all, the people who are waiting also have his share, so he naturally understands the thoughts of his subordinates.
But it seemed that the person was about to come to the front, so Zhou Changli said: "Okay, let's say a few words, anyway, I've been waiting for so long, and I'm not in a hurry for a while." ”
"Okay big brother, we got it." The two replied in unison.
After answering Zhou Changli, the two of them didn't say anything.
In fact, the minds of the two of them are not here at all now.
At this moment, both of them thought in their hearts that after the waiting meeting was over, they would have to go to the widow who had closed the door to sit down.
After all, it's so cold, they've been here for so long, their bodies are frozen, how can they not find someone to warm up.
Not long after Zhou Changli's voice fell, the person on the other side also walked to Zhou Changli's side.
Seeing that there were as many as five or six people on the opposite side, Zhou Changli's brows couldn't help frowning, and a trace of bad thoughts flashed in his heart.
However, Zhou Changli didn't think much about it, and quickly dispelled this thought.
Because Zhou Changli only came from the opposite side, so many people came in order to better transport the materials back.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm delayed on the road, I'm sorry, Changli."
I saw that after the person who led the other side came to Zhou Changli's side, he explained to Zhou Changli in his mouth, and at the same time stretched out his hand to shake hands with Zhou Changli.
Such a polite scene on the other side also made Zhou Changli dispel his doubts and completely let go of the worries in his heart.
So Zhou Changli also stretched out his hand and held someone's hand tightly, and then the two shook it vigorously a few times.
At the same time, Zhou Changli also replied to the man: "It's okay, we just arrived not long ago." ”
After all, it was the customer, even if Zhou Changli was unhappy, he still said it against his will.
Otherwise, you can't let Zhou Changli complain to others, right?
That's why everyone is still trading happily.
After all, the other party is now a buyer, and before the transaction, Zhou Changli doesn't want everyone to make trouble unpleasantly.
So Zhou Changli changed the topic and said, "Dude, nothing happened on the road, right?" There's no tail to follow you, right? ”
This is the first transaction between them, so it is not possible to be careless by the circumference.
After all, if something happens, it will be a small matter if something is seized, but it will be a big deal if a person is caught.
If he is arrested at this time, he will definitely spend the New Year in prison this year.
Zhou Changli didn't want to do this, after all, his life was just getting better, and he was just preparing for a good year, and he didn't want to go in.
Besides, Zhou Changli has no friendship with these people in front of him at all.
If it weren't for the introduction of a familiar intermediary between the two parties, this transaction would not have been facilitated.
It was also this person who talked to Zhou Changli yesterday, although the two were not familiar with each other, but they had always dealt with each other, so Zhou Changli was not so strange when he spoke.
"Huh? Hahaha"
After hearing Zhou Changli's words, the man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again.
After laughing for a while, the man stopped laughing and replied to Zhou Changli: "Dude, you can rest assured, although we are trading for the first time, there will definitely be no problems." ”
After the man finished speaking, he smiled meaningfully at Zhou Changli.
However, he quickly hid this smile, so Zhou Changli didn't notice it.
Seeing this, Zhou Changli nodded and didn't say anything more.
As for the subordinates brought by the two, they all stood behind the two of them and did not make a sound.
Then the two of them politely exchanged words for a while and smoked a cigarette together.
After smoking a cigarette, the man didn't talk nonsense, but went straight to the point:
"Have you brought all the supplies?"
"Hmm."
Zhou Changli replied to the man, signaling that his side was ready, and then Zhou Changli asked rhetorically, "Brought the money?" ”
Hearing Zhou Changli's words, the man didn't answer, but took out a few big yellow croakers to show Zhou Changli.
Needless to say, the big yellow croaker is more convincing than any words.
In fact, this is also the reason why Zhou Changli chose to trade with this person.
According to the intermediary, this person's ancestors have a lot of family background, and they have passed down a lot of yellow and white things to him.
Thinking that Li Yan had instructed him to collect gold, after learning about these circumstances, Zhou Changli decisively chose to trade with him.
After seeing Huang Shouyun take out the big yellow croaker, a smile also leaked from Zhou Changli's face.
(The name of the leader is called Huang Shouyun, which is also what Zhou Changli learned from the middleman yesterday, as for whether this name is a real name or a fake name, then Zhou Changli does not know,
However, Zhou Changli guessed that this name should be his real name, after all, this was said from the mouth of the middleman, and the middleman couldn't lie to Zhou Changli.
If so, then what happened to the accident, Zhou Changli can let go of the middleman to blame,
You must know that Zhou Changli also knows the middleman, otherwise, Zhou Changli would not have agreed to this cooperation. )
"Dude, you go to inspect the goods first, and after the inspection, we will trade again, no problem, right?"
Since Zhou Changli listened to Li Yan's words, now every time he trades, Zhou Changli will put the materials in advance.
This is done for the sake of separating people and goods, so that the risk is not so great.
Even if something happens, the loss is only materiel.
After all, in Li Yan's heart, as long as people are fine, as for the rest, it is not so important.
As the old saying goes, as long as there are people, there will be hope, but when people are gone, everything is gone.
"Okay, listen to you, let's go to inspect the goods first, as long as the goods are okay, we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."
After Huang Shouyun heard Zhou Changli's words, he also agreed with a smile.
After all, he hadn't seen the goods yet, and it was impossible to say that he wasn't worried about it.
After all, the purpose of his trip was for this batch of supplies.
Hearing this, Zhou Changli didn't go around in circles anymore, but confidently instructed the two subordinates beside him: "You two take them to see the goods." ”
The reason for Zhou Changli's self-confidence is, in the final analysis, because the materials given by Li Yan are all first-class goods, so Zhou Changli is not worried that Huang Shouyun will be dissatisfied.
After all, what is produced by the system mall, can it be bad?
Seeing that Zhou Changli had been ordered, Huang Shouyun was not to be outdone and said to several of his subordinates:
"You three should go and have a look."
As he spoke, Huang Shouyun glanced at one of them.
The person Huang Shouyun ordered looked like a more shrewd person, so when he received Huang Shouyun's hint, the man replied, "I know the boss." ”
Then he also hinted at Huang Shouyun with his eyes, which obviously meant to tell Huang Shouyun that he knew what to do.
Seeing this, Huang Shouyun also nodded at the man.
The small movements between the two were not discovered by Zhou Changli and them.
So Zhou Changli's two younger brothers took Huang Shouyun's men and walked towards the abandoned yard where they were hiding supplies.
After those subordinates left, Huang Shouyun handed Zhou Changli a cigarette.
In this regard, Zhou Changli was not polite, and ordered it after taking it.
Then the two chatted with each other.
"Brother Changli, this time it's really thanks to you, otherwise it's approaching the end of the year, where are we going to get these supplies." Huang Shouyun said to Zhou Changli.
Hearing this, Zhou Changli slowly spit out a puff of cigarette, and then replied: "Don't, you don't have to thank you, we are doing business, and we pay attention to your affection and my willingness, so there is no need to be so polite." ”
Hearing Zhou Changli's words of not giving face, a trace of gloom flashed in Huang Shouyun's eyes.
