Chapter 257: A new path is open
Shen Zhensheng stayed at home with his wife and children for two days before going to town. The night before, the two of them made a list and prepared the things that Shen Zhensheng would transport on his first long-distance trip.
"Hubby, let's not sell the food and fruits produced in the space this time. I bought a lot of them before and stored them in the space. You can sell those first."
"Okay, then in the same way, I'll sell you the pork and beef you have stored first."
After the two of them confirmed the quantity and types of materials, Xiao Baoer gave the list to Shen Zhensheng, and then he could just enter the space to pick up the goods and trade.
"Husband, if you go to the black market, you must hide your identity well. You will get into trouble if you eat something unscrupulous."
Shen Zhensheng knew that his wife was worried that he would meet someone who was not easy to deal with. "I know, my wife, I am very careful in doing things. I will not sell the supplies to them without finding out the identity of the trader."
Shen Zhensheng and Shen Zhenjiang rode their bicycles to the town's transport team early in the morning. They had already gone to the transport team yesterday to confirm several long-distance routes they would run later.
After Shen Zhensheng arrived, he unloaded the goods, then took Shen Zhenjiang to check into two rooms. He also told Shen Zhenjiang that he could stay here for two days, but he must pay attention to safety and return after two days.
Shen Zhenjiang was very curious about the big city, so he went out for a walk after resting. It was not that Shen Zhensheng did not want to take him to the black market, but it was his first time here and there were risks in the black market, so he did not want to take him into danger.
Shen Zhensheng found the black market himself after some investigation. The black market here is more strictly managed than those in the county or city.
Shen Zhensheng did not say that he was selling things on the black market, but that he was buying things and paid two cents to enter the black market.
The black market here is a big bazaar. Many people inside even have small stalls. It is obvious that they have been doing business here for a long time.
The fact that so many people dare to do business here means that this black market boss has connections. Shen Zhensheng decided to meet him first.
He returned to the entrance of the black market and handed a pack of cigarettes to one of the small leaders. "Brother, I have a big business to discuss with your boss. Please lead the way."
For the sake of the box of cigarettes, the man went in and informed Shen Zhensheng, and soon he ran out calling Shen Zhensheng.
He took Shen Zhensheng to meet the boss of the black market, and he agreed to meet him only after hearing that there was a big business deal.
"This is Brother Zhou. Brother Zhou is the boss here. Just tell me what you want to say," said the person who led Shen Zhensheng over.
Shen Zhensheng saw that the man in front of him was about 40 years old, of medium build. Unlike Zhou Bao who had a playful face, Brother Zhou had a very cold expression and didn't say much. He also looked at Shen Zhensheng with his eyes.
"Brother, have you ever been a soldier?" This was the first sentence Brother Zhou said.
Shen Zhensheng answered bluntly, "I served, but was injured and retired. How come Brother Zhou also retired from the army?"
Hearing that Shen Zhensheng was a retired soldier, Brother Zhou's face looked better. "Yes, it's been many years. My arm is injured and I can't carry a gun anymore."
Perhaps it was because of the mutual respect between comrades-in-arms that the two did not talk about business directly. Instead, they talked about the differences between their current unit and their previous unit.
"Brother, Brother Zhou sees that you are a real person, and we are comrades-in-arms. If you have any problems, come here to find Brother Zhou. As long as it is not a matter of getting shot, Brother Zhou can handle it."
Shen Zhensheng thought that he could try to do business with him, but the business should not be too big for the first time. He should wait until he completely trusts Brother Zhou before buying goods from him in large quantities.
"Brother Zhou, I have business to discuss with you. I have a large amount of food and fruit, as well as a lot of fresh meat. Can you eat it all, Brother Zhou?"
When Brother Zhou heard Shen Zhensheng say that he had so many things in his hands, his eyes lit up.
"Brother, how much stuff do you have? For Brother Zhou, the more the better. I can handle as much supplies as you have," Brother Zhou said confidently.
"I didn't know I would be able to meet Brother Zhou so smoothly this time, so I didn't bring a lot of things. I brought 10 kilograms of rice, millet, mung beans, and whole grains. There were kinds of fruit, each weighing kilograms. As for meat, this time I only brought pork, beef, and mutton, also weighing kilograms each."
Brother Zhou has met a lot of people over the years, and he knew as soon as he heard it that Shen Zhensheng had not told him the whole story, so he should have more supplies.
"Brother, you don't trust me. Brother Zhou, there is absolutely no one following me here. My rule here is that anyone who dares to do something like black-eating black behind my back will have their hands and feet cut off and thrown out, so brother, there is no need to hide it."
Shen Zhensheng thought that this man was worthy of being the one who could develop the black market to such a large scale. Not only was he courageous, but he was also extremely accurate in judging people.
"Since Brother Zhou said so, I'll be bold this time. All the things I just mentioned are 200 kilograms each. In addition, chicken and duck eggs are kilograms each, and the watch is yuan. How about it?"
Brother Zhou was so happy. He had collected so many supplies this time, so he knew he could make a lot of money.
After the two men discussed the price, they agreed on the time and place to pick up the goods. That was where Brother Zhou usually did big deals, it was relatively hidden and would not be discovered.
Shen Zhensheng moved the supplies in the space onto the truck, and then drove to the agreed transaction location.
Just now, when Shen Zhensheng came out of the black market, he had asked Xiao Putao to use her special powers to detect that indeed no one was following him. In addition, Xiao Putao had also observed the place of transaction in advance, and it was indeed very safe.
Shen Zhensheng drove the car into the yard. Brother Zhou was already waiting in the yard. He immediately asked the people he brought to start moving the goods. He took a look at the grain, fruits and meat in the car. They were really top-quality goods. The quality was impeccable.
The two went into the house to count the payment. After Shen Zhensheng closed the box containing the money, he remembered what his wife said, so he said to Brother Zhou, "Brother Zhou, next time if you have old things, you can use them to pay for the goods. My wife likes those things."
"Brother, when I receive any old items in the future, I will keep them for you so that you can go back and please your sister-in-law," Brother Zhou made a rare joke.
"Okay, Brother Zhou, I'll come here about once every ten days. If nothing goes wrong, I'll deliver the goods to you once every ten days. How about that?"
Brother Zhou never thought that such a good thing would happen to him. The things this brother brought were so good that he could sell them for a good price.
"Okay, I'll go back and give the order. No one will stop you from entering the black market. Just come find me in the yard."
After Brother Zhou's men unloaded the goods, Shen Zhensheng took the payment and drove away. He put the payment into the space. Xiao Pu Tao also reported that no one was following him.
It seems that Brother Zhou is a man of his word. So this path is open. If I come here again, I can just do business with Brother Zhou.
Shen Zhensheng returned to the hotel. Shen Zhenjiang had been out for a walk and had not returned yet. He went into his room, locked the door from the inside, and then entered the space.
Xiao Baoer was also teaching her son to play the piano in the space. As soon as Xiao Pu Tao reported that Shen Zhensheng had entered the space, she brought her son to the first floor.
"Wife, you are in the space. I just traded the supplies and this is the payment," Shen Zhensheng was sitting in the restaurant eating beef noodles. He was so busy that he didn't have time to eat in the afternoon.
"What do you think of this person? Can we have long-term cooperation in the future?" Xiao Baoer asked.
"He's a good guy, and he's also a retired soldier. I asked Little Grape to observe him, and he doesn't seem to have any gangsters robbing each other here. I think we can cooperate with him for a long time."
Xiao Baoer handed him a glass of water and sat down to talk to him. "That's fine. Then every time you run this route, just trade with him. It's safer this way."
"Okay, I've already ordered the payment. I don't have the old items this time, but I will have them next time."
Seeing him eat so fast, Xiao Baoer knew that he was very hungry. The bowl of noodles was almost finished, so he must not be full yet. Xiao Baoer got up and brought him another bowl of shrimp noodles.
"Wife, I will take Lao Wu back tomorrow. We will take two days off to run the Beijing route. After that, we will run these two long-distance routes."
Xiao Baoer accompanied him to finish the meal. He played with the three children for a while and then left the space. He had to go and see if Shen Zhenjiang had returned.
