Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Zhang Xiuhua told Ergou that she would ask Zhou Panditi for a loan, but she did not intend to do so.

Li Jianguo had asked her to mortgage her property, but she refused. What's more, it was a garment factory. Her solution was to go to Da Mao to do something big.

She usually resells mainly grain, just one or two bags, which is not conspicuous. But this time the money needed is too much, one million is not a small amount. Grain takes up too much space and it is easy to be exposed.

According to the five-fold profit, she needed 200,000 yuan as the starting capital. This was also a considerable sum of money. Converted into grain, it would take dozens of tons, a carriage to transport it. It was hard not to be suspicious.

After much thought, she decided to compromise. She directly converted the money in the passbook into cash, and if it was not enough, she would resell it.

After all her spending over the years, she only had RMB 100,000 left in her savings. She planned to make some money out of it first to see how much it would be worth if converted into the currency of this era.

There weren't many things in the space. Vegetables and fruits? They could be sold, but not at a high price. Foreign fruits were valuable, but she turned them into cherries, and domestic customs didn't have this business. If she turned them into cherries, wouldn't it be a problem for people to find out?

Selling the books? No way! First of all, the content of the books is not compliant.

Tricycles? One or two is fine, but how will she explain too many?

Computers and televisions are even worse. They are too advanced and we didn't even have them at that time.

Clothes? No! All the sizes are out of stock. No one wants them.

The same goes for shoes!

Appliances? Refrigerator?

Zhang Xiuhua clapped her hands together! Yes, electrical appliances, electrical appliances at this time are very valuable.

Refrigerator? Her refrigerator has double doors. Is it available now?

Zhang Xiuhua was unsure, so she went to a nearby electrical appliance store to look around. Most refrigerators at that time were three-door refrigerators, but there were still some with double doors.

What's even better is that her refrigerator is a Siemens, a foreign product. It was recommended to her by Jidong, who said it was of better quality.

People in China don't know if this type of refrigerator is available abroad. Great!

Although the refrigerator becomes second-hand after reselling, second-hand appliances are still valuable at this time.

Zhang Xiuhua looked for a factory nearby, the more hidden the better. Then she approached the owners of electrical appliance stores and asked them if they would accept second-hand electrical appliances.

At that time, all domestic electrical appliances were produced by state-owned factories, while electrical appliance stores were privately owned, and all products were resold from abroad.

The electrical appliance store doesn't accept second-hand items, but he introduced me to a dealer who does.

Zhang Xiuhua installed five refrigerators, five washing machines and five microwave ovens in the space.

She wanted to fix the air conditioner, but she didn't know how to dismantle the air conditioner unit or install it, so she gave up.

The second-hand dealer was very curious when he saw the configuration of the refrigerator, "How did you get this information?"

How could Zhang Xiuhua tell him? She said coldly, "Name your price!"

The second-hand dealer offered 20,000 yuan. She had 13,000 yuan missing from her bankbook. They actually had a trade deficit. This was not easy.

Zhang Xiuhua looked everywhere for dealers who would buy second-hand electrical appliances.

In four days, she traded in Pengcheng and Yangcheng, and earned 835,000 yuan just from selling electrical appliances. 800,000 yuan could be given directly to Ergou. She had to go back to work, and she really didn't have that much time to sell electrical appliances. With the remaining 35,000 yuan, she planned to ship canned food to Moscow to exchange for money. The reason she chose canned food was because it was sweet, and Europeans liked sweets. Second, it was also considered a daily necessities.

With the implementation of the "household contract responsibility system", local governments began to cultivate their own fields. Many forests in the south were planted with fruit trees, and the price of fruit began to fall slowly. The excess fruit was made into beverages or canned food.

At this time, the bride-to-be had to bring four things: cigarettes, coffee, foreign ham, and canned food. This shows how popular canned food was.

Zhang Xiuhua looked for a cheap canning factory in Yangcheng and placed an order for 20,000 bottles at a time. At that time, the wholesale price of canned food was one yuan per bottle, so 20,000 yuan meant 20,000 bottles, which was definitely a large order.

In addition to canned food, she also went to Yangcheng and spent 15,000 yuan to buy a bunch of warm cotton clothes. It was cold in Damao, and the light industry was underdeveloped, so they were in great need of clothes.

She got the goods at a very cheap price, put them into her space, boarded the train, and went to Damao early for her vacation.

She shipped the goods to Moscow, and the agent she had worked with for several years was shocked to see so many canned fruits and clothes.

Zhang Xiuhua said that she was short of money and asked him to get everything together quickly.

The agent asked her to wait for a moment and went back to buy a bunch of pots, pans, and utensils.

Zhang Xiuhua waited for a whole day and saw what he sent. Most of them were the kitchen utensils, telescopes, watches and other items she had asked for before, but there was also a gun. She was dumbfounded, "These things? I..."

This is a gun! She bought it, who should she sell it to?

"You have too much goods this time. I really can't get so much goods, so I can only use guns to compensate. Fortunately, there are only 20 pistols." The agent asked her not to refuse, "Next time you want to make such a large order, at least notify me in advance so that I can prepare. I only had one day, and I borrowed from all my relatives and friends to get so much."

Zhang Xiuhua also knew that she was in too much of a hurry, but she had no way to inform him in advance, so she could only say, "Forget it this time, but don't give me a gun next time, I can't sell it."

Although guns are not banned in the country yet, she has a psychological burden and she dare not sell them even if she can.

Seeing how timid she was, the agent sighed and said, "I was originally thinking of doing a big business with you, but now forget it."

Zhang Xiuhua knew without asking that he was talking about the arms business, which was something she couldn't possibly get involved in. She smiled, "You might as well melt it down and make a pot so I can take it back and sell it!"

The agent was speechless. "The main material of the gun is birch wood, followed by steel."

Zhang Xiuhua shrugged her shoulders. She could do nothing about it. After he left, she started packing the things and carried them to the train station. She went back and forth more than a dozen times before she finished transporting them.

She returned to the capital, moved all the goods to her rental house, and started looking for Brother Lin.

Brother Lin was a little surprised to see so many goods, but he still helped estimate the price. It could be worth 16 yuan. He took out all the cash flow of several small shops and found a partner to raise the 16 yuan.

Zhang Xiuhua was out of money and was short of 40,000 yuan, so she asked Youcai to borrow money.

Youcai could only come up with 2,000 yuan. Zhenzhen had no money, not because she didn't want to lend money on purpose, but because she had recently set her eyes on a storefront, had already chosen it, paid the rent, and was renovating it, so she had no money on hand.

Zhang Xiuhua asked Jidong again.

Jidong has 10,000 yuan of spare money, which he keeps for emergency use. He can give it to his aunt and she doesn't have to pay it back.

Zhang Xiuhua sighed. Ten thousand was not enough. "We still need thirty thousand."

Jidong was a little embarrassed and asked her how long he would borrow the money for. His construction team had some money in its account, but as a business, money had to circulate, so he could only do so in the short term. Fearing that his aunt would be suspicious, he had to explain, "I opened the construction team, but I don't own the shares alone."

Zhang Xiuhua understood that he had found a partner and was working behind the scenes. She smiled and said, "I will borrow it for a month at most."

Jidong nodded, "That's no problem."

He then remembered, "Aunt, why did you borrow so much money?"

Zhang Xiuhua told the story of how Ergou was cheated.

Jidong was a little puzzled. "He was cheated by his brother. I can only say that he was too loyal. But he runs three factories, how come there is no cash in his account?!"

He kept at least two months' wages for his workers in his account, plus 200,000 yuan in working capital, just in case of emergency.

"You should let him learn some financial knowledge. If he messes around like this, if one link goes wrong, the whole thing will be a failure. Sooner or later, there will be problems." Jidong is very optimistic about Ergou's business sense, but he has a gambler's mentality. He always likes to take a small risk for a big gain. He thinks this is not good. It is right to do business "fast, ruthless, and accurate", but at least the back end must be stable. He took it for granted.

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "I'll talk to him later."

The next day, Zhang Xiuhua transferred the 1 million to Ergou. He paid 90% to suppliers and the rest to employees. As for the 10% to the lender, he would settle it next month.

After that, Zhang Xiuhua went to Russia again, bringing only a small amount of food. The agent did not think it was too little, because he had too much goods before and had little money on hand, so he could only sell all the goods and then buy more.

But I don’t know if it was Zhang Xiuhua’s illusion. The next day, when she was carrying her luggage bag from the rental house to the train, she always felt that someone was following her.

The agent must have no time to pay attention to her, as he was busy selling goods and making money. But she didn't know anyone in Moscow, so why would someone be watching her?

She looked back again and again, but still didn't see anyone suspicious. She thought to herself: I can't transport goods in such large quantities next time. If it happens too often, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

Until the New Year, Zhang Xiuhua only carried one bag of food and one bag of clothes. She didn't dare to carry more. The feeling of being on edge gradually disappeared.

On this day, she took the train back home and saw a family in the village slaughtering pigs. Every family went to buy meat with a basin. Li Jianguo had also been waiting with a basin. When he saw her coming back, he immediately asked her to go home first, "I'll go back after I buy the pork."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't leave in a hurry. She asked him, "Have all the children returned?"

"They are back. Ergou, Jidong, and Yaoyao are back. Youcai and Zhenzhen are not back because the children are too young."

It was Li Jianguo's turn to speak. He asked for two ribs and ten pounds of pork, with more lean meat.

People at this time like to buy meat with more fat, but he is the opposite.

Aunt Wang laughed and said, "Are you stupid?"

Zhang Xiuhua smiled. She likes to eat lean meat and doesn’t like fatty meat.

Li Jianguo laughed and said, "Fat meat makes you fat, while lean meat can make you lose weight."

After taking some more pig's blood, the two went home.
