Chapter 768: Shanghai is in turmoil again (1 additional chapter added after yesterday’s update deadl
As Gao Qiqiang's clothing business got on track, Sun Xiaomin in Peking also brought a group of friends to make their clothing business flourish.
The consumption level in Beijing is far superior to that in Jinghai. Gao Qiqiang's same clothes can only be sold for 160 yuan in Jinghai, but 300 yuan in Beijing!
Even at this price, people are still snapping it up like crazy! It’s true that people in the mainland have always worn relatively simple and conservative clothes.
The clothes Sun Xiaomin and her team had put out for sale were all the most popular styles in the world right now, so it was normal that they were selling well.
They sold out tens of thousands of pieces of clothing in less than a week and had to ask the Special Administrative Region to send another batch.
There are even people from Northeast China and other places who buy large quantities of clothing at prices slightly cheaper than the market price, and then sell them back to cities far from the coast, such as Northeast China, and still make a lot of money.
"Xiaomin, your clothing business is so profitable?" Tian Zao looked at the money his daughter brought back with shock in his eyes.
When Tiedan was sick and hospitalized, his family couldn’t even afford the medical expenses. It was only after his in-laws heard the news that they sent him 5,000 yuan, which allowed Tiedan to undergo surgery smoothly.
But looking at the money my daughter brought back, it must be at least 10,000, right? Did she really earn that much money in just a few days?
"Mom, this is just the share of income they gave me. Don't forget that I also participated in their business. Here is 8,000 yuan. Dongzi and Tuliuzi took the lion's share, and each of them got more than 20,000 yuan!" Sun Xiaomin said with a roll of her eyes.
"What? Selling clothes makes so much money?" Tian Zao couldn't believe it. Isn't it just selling clothes at the night market? How can you make so much money?
"This is all thanks to the reliable manufacturer my mother-in-law found. The clothes they make are beautiful in style and made of good materials, so they are so popular. If the clothes were made by other factories, the effect might not be so good!" said Sun Xiaomin.
"Now that you have earned money, you can return it to your mother-in-law, right? That's five thousand yuan, not a small amount!" Tian Zao said.
"Mom, my mother-in-law said that we don't have to pay back the money, and they are not short of money. And my mother-in-law also said that if you really want to pay it back, just give it to Wei Cheng." Xiaomin said.
"You kid, giving it to Wei Cheng is just giving it to you, right?" Tian Zao was so angry at her own daughter that she laughed.
"This is originally our money! Every child in the Zhao family has his or her own private money. Wei Cheng had already prepared the money for my father's hospitalization this time, but my mother-in-law sent the money before I came back." Sun Xiaomin said with a smile.
"Every child in the Zhao family has one? How many would that be?" Tian Zao said in shock.
"It's a lot anyway. Wei Cheng's share is hundreds of thousands in cash alone, not to mention other gold and antiques?" Sun Xiaomin said.
"Did Zhao Cheng embezzle money? But that doesn't make sense. He was just a policeman before and didn't have that much power!" Tian Zao's face was full of confusion.
"Please stop guessing. Those things are not from our country at all. I have hardly seen those golds. They look like things from India. The antiques are all small items, but my father-in-law doesn't allow me to sell them. As for money, do you think my mother-in-law will be short of money? She came from a wealthy family!" Sun Xiaomin said indifferently.
"They are all foreign things? It seems that Zhao Cheng has other ways!" Tian Zao said.
"No matter how they got it, it was their own ability. They didn't steal or rob. Besides, your father-in-law is such a high-ranking official. If he had any problems, he wouldn't have reached his current position. Do you know what the Zhao family's heirloom is?" Sun Xiaomin said as she sat next to Tian Zao.
"What kind of valuable thing is it? Or a valuable antique?" Tian Zao said unhappily.
"Haha, neither of them. It's the loving inscriptions of those two! Or it's a joint inscription by two people, and there are also books and words with various inscriptions! That thing is so treasured by my father-in-law that it is usually locked up!" said Sun Xiaomin.
"Really?" Tian Zao stood up excitedly, his face full of disbelief. This really is a family heirloom, much more meaningful than those gold jewelry and other things!
"Of course I'm right. I've even seen one of the inscriptions! Do you know what it says?"
"What did you write?"
"The fierce tiger of the country!" Sun Xiaomin said word by word.
"Oh, it seems that your father-in-law is not just an ordinary policeman!" Tian Zao calmed down his excitement and said with emotion.
"That's for sure! Wei Cheng said that when he was a child he saw that guy go to their house to discuss things with his father, and the people standing guard at the door were all royal guards." Sun Xiaomin said proudly.
Tian Zao finally understood. His father-in-law had made great contributions to the country, which was why he was able to rise from a small policeman before liberation to his current position. No wonder so many children joined the army! So this was the root of the problem.
At this time in Shanghai, Wei Qing and Wei Yu were celebrating their new home. The two brothers officially moved today and moved into a small building on Fuxing Road.
The two people's houses were next to each other, so they held a simple celebration ceremony in Wei Qing's house and invited a few friends.
A-Bao, Wang Mingzhu, Uncle, Wei Hong, and Yang Jianguo. Wei Yu invited a few actors and colleagues from the crew he got along well with. Of course, his nephew Yang Chao was also there.
"Wei Qing, you bought a good house. Fuxing Road is a prosperous area in Shanghai. In the future, every house sold will be one less. You have a good eye!" As the oldest person present, the uncle's words represented an affirmation to Wei Qing.
"Uncle, do you think we should buy one? I think the environment here is the best in Shanghai!" Abao asked with a smile.
"A house costs one hundred thousand yuan, what are you going to use to buy it? Don't forget, you are a businessman now. If your funds cannot flow, you will lose money! So it is too early for you to buy a house now?" The uncle poured a basin of cold water on Abao's head without any hesitation.
A Bao could only smile bitterly. He was still a long way from becoming Mr. Bao.
"Captain Yang, I want to know if it is true that you are going to set up a coast guard detachment?" The uncle suddenly turned around and looked at Yang Jianguo with a serious face and asked.
"Uncle, are you well-informed? In fact, the coast guard detachments have been established in southern Xinjiang and Guangzhou a long time ago. Their main task is to crack down on smuggling activities at sea. Now it is the turn of our Shanghai Armed Police Force!" Yang Jianguo said with a smile.
