Chapter 537 It's hard to make money
Although Lu Jiajie suffered a lot, he was lucky enough to have Luo Guangyuan and Sun Qi taking care of him. His body was not seriously injured, and he was almost recovered after more than three months of treatment.
Thinking about the dwindling savings, Lu Jiajie couldn't sit still. After saying hello to Lu Jiaguang, he called Sun Qi to Pengcheng.
When he arrived in Pipeng City, he went to find Su Heming and expressed that he wanted to buy a batch of electrical appliances and sell them back.
Now that the economy is liberalizing, many people who have money on hand are willing to buy electrical appliances for their homes. TVs are the first choice, and electric fans and refrigerators are also popular. Therefore, home appliance factories are now working 24 hours a day, and the supply is still in short supply.
Su Heming looked at him and asked: "I don't know how many people want to ask me to provide them with goods every day. Lu Jiajie, tell me, why should I provide you with goods?"
Getting the goods means making money, so he is now a hot commodity. Sometimes when he is really bored, he runs to the port city to hide for a while.
Lu Jiajie was stunned for a moment: "Brother Ming, we have been friends for so many years..."
Su Heming made a gesture to stop him: "Lu Jiajie, you and I have never been friends. I took care of you before because you are Jiaxin's cousin."
“Lu Jiajie, you and your Lu family have benefited so much from Jiaxin over the years, but what have you done for Jiaxin?”
Of the Lu family, only Lu Jiaguang is pretty good, and he doesn't like any of the others. Only Jia Xin was generous. If it were him, he wouldn't pay attention to any of them. Their hometown, relatives and friends, except for those who helped their family back then, everyone else wants to take advantage of it, it's a dream!
Lu Jiajie was stunned by the question and said after a while: "Brother Ming, Jiaxin can make her own way and doesn't need our help."
When Su Heming found out that Lu Jiajie went to MSK to do trading business and disappeared, he felt that this person was out of his mind: "Jiaxin is my god-sister. I can't see how you guys are taking advantage in the name of relatives. Lu Jiajie, you are also a nine-foot man." "Why are you so embarrassed to rely on your sister? Don't forget, Jiaxin is only twenty years old."
Lu Jiajie's face turned red.
Su Heming said: "You all know that she is rich, but have you never thought about how difficult it is for her to be a little girl in Hong Kong City? She has been guarding against the He family's schemes all day long, and she has made some money in business without letting anyone know. Where were you at that time?"
“Lu Jiajie, if you want me to supply goods, don't even think about it. If you are a man, just run the business by yourself and pay back all the money you owe Jiaxin. Otherwise, I will look down on you.”
Lu Jiajie, who was scolded, returned without success.
Sun Qi asked doubtfully: "You said before that Mr. Su has a very good relationship with your sister, and he himself said that Miss Lu is his god-sister. If I don't supply you with goods now, aren't you afraid that your sister will be angry?"
Lu Jiajie was silent and said, "It should be my sister's intention. She doesn't want to help me anymore and wants me to make money to pay off the debt."
His original plan was to lend a batch of goods to Su Heming on credit and settle the payment after the goods were sold. Electrical appliances are very easy to sell now, and you can definitely make a profit by buying more goods on credit. It's a pity that the plan was very good, but the reality was very skinny.
Sun Qi's heart skipped a beat. If Lu Jiaxin no longer provided help, then they would have to start from scratch. He has also done business and knows the importance of connections. With Lu Jiaxin, he can avoid many detours.
“Then what should we do now?”
What can be done? I have to give up this way of making money. Electrical appliances are a hot commodity these days, and it's impossible to get them without connections. Lu Jiajie said: "Let's get a batch of clothes and go back!"
He has been engaged in clothing business for three years and has accumulated a lot of connections. I went to Gaudi Street and found some friends who had become large wholesalers, and got the goods at a discounted price. Originally, he wanted to transport it back by train, but Lu Jiaguang said that the control is very strict now. If you open the back door for him, you will be reported, and he will be asked to find a way.
Lu Jiajie had no choice but to find a large truck to transport the goods back. They met another robber on the way, but they were well prepared and drove them away after a fight. Returning to Sijiucheng with heart in mind, Lu Jiajie put the goods in the warehouse and looked for buyers.
I haven't been in the clothing business for a year. All my previous partners, including Xiaoqiu, have found other sources of goods. Of course, when doing business, one must buy the goods from whichever company has the cheapest price.
Lu Jiajie still has a good sense. The goods he purchased are of high quality and the latest styles. But after selling all the goods, he found that he only made 5,000 yuan from this order.
For example, when you first started a clothing business, you would earn two or three times as much. Later, as more people started doing it, the profit dropped, but the profit increased from 70% to 80%, but this time his profit was only 40%. And just these five thousand yuan will cost Sun Qi two thousand yuan. At this rate, it will take years of the monkey and months to pay off the foreign debt of 800,000 yuan.
After struggling for a while, Lu Jiajie went to Luo Guangyuan and asked if he could work with him: "Guangyuan, I can find the source of goods for them and then deliver the goods to the border."
Although the border is not very peaceful, it is still within the country after all. As long as you keep a low profile and be more cautious, there will be no problem. The foreign debt of 800,000 yuan is not repaid in one day, and I have no confidence to speak.
Luo Guangyuan asked with some confusion: "Jiajie, you still have money in your hands and can support your family by returning to your old profession. Why do you want to take risks?"
Lu Jiajie told her about the debt of 800,000 yuan: "My sister told me when to repay the debt and when to meet again. I know she annoyed me."
Upon hearing this, Luo Guangyuan was even more afraid to let him join, and said: "Even if the goods are sent to the border, there is danger. If something happens to you, I can't explain it to your sister. Jiajie, please don't embarrass me."
Ms. Lu said she wanted him to pay back the money, but she didn't specify when to pay it back. It could be three years or ten years. At this time, if he takes him to do border trade business, he will definitely be angry if something goes wrong. He can't afford to offend such a big boss.
Lu Jiajie, who hit a wall again, returned home sadly. After much deliberation, he decided to just engage in clothing trade, which he was good at and had connections with.
At the same time, Luo Guangyuan also told Lao Geng that Lu Jiajie wanted to join the gang, and said that he had rejected it: "Miss Lu should be angry now. When the anger subsides, he can make money by doing whatever he wants. Why take the risk with us!"
Lao Geng thought that he was loyal and quick-witted, so Luo Guangyuan was short of money so he recruited him into the team. One is because there is a real shortage of manpower, and the other is to check and balance his friend. After spending so many years in the outside world, he knows that the last thing that can't be tested is the human heart.
After thinking for a while, Lao Geng said: "Go to him tomorrow and tell him that I have agreed to let him join. From now on, he will be responsible for delivering the goods to the border."
Luo Guangyuan was startled, then shook his head and said, "Brother, if something happens to him, what will happen if Miss Lu gets angry with us?"
A smile appeared on Lao Geng's face and he said: "Don't worry, Miss Lu has clear grudges. He wants to join in. Even if something happens, he won't blame us."
He naturally had his own reasons for asking Lu Jiajie to join the team.
