Zheng Weiguo sent the two of them home. Before leaving, he said to Lu Yao, "Yao Yao, on the 19th of this month, I am going to a friend's place to attend a banquet. Please ask for leave in advance and I will take you there."
Lu Yao was slightly stunned, "Dad, I have something to do that day."
Zheng Weiguo could not refuse and said, "I have something to push back. I have never been able to find a chance for you to meet my Chinese medicine friends. I will take this opportunity to meet them. Even if I can't become his apprentice, it is still good to get to know them."
Lu Yao: "The old Chinese doctor you mentioned before?"
Zheng Weiguo: "Yes."
Lu Yao was a little embarrassed, "Dad, I have met him. Duan Mingjie and I went to his clinic for treatment some time ago. Otherwise, I'd better not go."
Seeing that she really didn't want to go, Zheng Weiguo didn't force it anymore, "Okay, if you don't want to go, then I won't go. We'll talk about it later when we have a chance."
After Zheng Weiguo left, Duan Mingjie asked, "Daughter-in-law, where are you going on the 19th?"
Lu Yao told her about Zhao Fuling's invitation, "I have to buy gifts for the children during this week's break."
Duan Mingjie: "Okay, I'll go with you."
On Lu Yao's day off, Duan Mingjie accompanied Lu Yao to the shopping mall and picked out a small gold lock for the child.
At this time, nearly 4,000 of the 5,000 dresses were sold, and another store was opened.
After returning home, Duan Mingjie told Lu Yao that he planned to purchase goods tomorrow.
"Daughter-in-law, after I leave, you will stay at my father's house until I come back to pick you up."
Lu Yao: "Okay, do you plan to come back in the car with the driver this time? Why don't you let your second brother go with you?"
She feels more at ease with multiple people.
"Try to get in as much as possible this time. The No. 16 Middle School will be completed soon. You won't be able to leave the capital for more than a month."
The progress of No. 16 Middle School is faster than they expected. It will be completed in another half month. After completion, various parts will be inspected, and Duan Mingjie must be present.
Duan Mingjie: "Daughter-in-law, I may have to stay for a few more days this time. If I don't come back before nineteen, I will ask Jiajia to attend the banquet with you."
Lu Yao blinked, "Do you have other plans?"
Duan Mingjie hugged her, "I bought 5,000 pieces, and they were almost sold out in less than ten days. According to this trend, I will go to the south twice every month. Your belly is getting bigger and bigger. Before you give birth, I I don’t want to leave you at home alone.”
Lu Yao: "So?"
"So I was thinking about finding a partner. My dad introduced me to a friend named Lin Biao. I wanted to purchase goods through him. I then visited the clothing factory over there to see if there were any clothes with good quality and good-looking styles. I left Contact information, let them handle consignment for us in the future, so I don’t need to purchase goods anymore.”
Lu Yao blinked: "What if they give us defective products?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely negotiate with them. I have written all the precautions on the paper. I will show it to you." With that, Duan Mingjie took out a notebook from the drawer under the desk, opened it and handed it to her. .
Lu Yao took it and took a look at it. All aspects had been considered and there was no need for her to bother.
Lu Yao returned it to him, "Were you writing this while I was copying the book?"
There are still traces of modifications on it.
Duan Mingjie hummed, "I've also prepared my personal seal. I'll bring it with me this time. It would be better if I can sign a contract."
"Do you want my second brother to go with you?"
Duan Mingjie: "I can go alone."
He didn't really want to owe his second brother a favor.
Both of them are married and are not suitable for doing things together.
Lu Yao wanted to ask her eldest brother to follow her, but after thinking about it, she forgot about it. The eldest brother was also very busy.
"If you negotiate with Lin Biao and let him buy goods for us, you can come back by yourself in the car and don't come back with the driver. I'm really scared."
It is said that people will die for money and birds will die for food. If you meet someone who wants money rather than your life, it will be too late to regret.
Duan Mingjie: "Okay."
Early the next morning, Duan Mingjie got on the train and went to Shenzhen City.
After arriving, Duan Mingjie went to Lin Biao's home.
Lin Biao warmly entertained him.
After chatting for a while, Duan Mingjie said his plan, "Brother Lin, do you want to cooperate with me?"
Lin Biao looked at him calmly, "Tell me what you think."
"Last time I was at the dock, I met a foreigner. I was quite satisfied with the goods in his hands, but he couldn't consign it to me, so I just wanted to trouble you and help me transport the goods, whether it's consignment in batches. It's okay, you can just use a big truck to transport it directly to me. As long as it can be transported to the capital, I will give you a dollar commission for one piece."
Lin Biao's eyes flashed.
As far as he knew, Duan Mingjie bought 10,000 pieces of goods last time. If he came to transport the goods, he would directly make a net profit of 10,000 yuan.
Lin Biao smiled and said, "Brother, can you trust me?"
"Don't trust those who employ, and those who doubt. You are my father's friend, and I trust you. Of course, if you agree, we still have to sign an agreement. It is not unilaterally restricting you, but also restricting me."
Lin Biao smiled and said, "Is the agreement ready?"
Duan Mingjie took out an agreement from the cloth bag next to him and said with a smile, "Brother Lin knows me very well."
Lin Biao raised his finger and pointed at him, "You are a born businessman. I suspect that you are thinking about how to make money when you sleep and dream."
Duan Mingjie laughed. In his dreams, it was his wife.
"Brother Lin, take a look first. If you have any ideas or dissatisfaction, you can mention it. This is just a first draft. We will finalize it after discussion."
Lin Biao took it and read it carefully.
At the end, Lin Biao raised his lips and said, "Xiao Duan, you are a capable person!"
All the rules are fair to them, beneficial to each of them, and do not harm the interests of the other party. There is no need to modify them at all.
Duan Mingjie thought of many things he hadn't thought of.
Duan Mingjie looked serious, "If you want your business to last, you have to take a long-term view. If I lie to you now, you will definitely not be willing to cooperate with me again in the future, and then we won't be able to go far."
"Brother Lin, I hope to reach a long-term cooperation with you. I also believe that we can be mutually beneficial."
Lin Biao looked at Duan Mingjie's expression full of admiration, stood up and stretched out his hand towards Duan Mingjie, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation."
Duan Mingjie stood up and held it, "Happy cooperation!"
Duan Mingjie and Lin Biao met two large truck drivers, both of whom were relatively trustworthy by Lin Biao. Duan Mingjie and Lin Biao split all the expenses incurred during the trip 50-50.
That night, Duan Mingjie and Lin Biao went to the dock and met Smith, a foreigner. Duan Mingjie introduced Lin Biao to Smith and explained his purpose.
Smith naturally hoped that Duan Mingjie would ask for more goods. He didn't care who would get the goods, as long as the money was available, he agreed immediately.
In the next few days, Duan Mingjie took Lin Biao to several clothing factories and shoe stores, and finally decided to sign an agreement with two companies.
After a lot of work, on June 16th, Duan Mingjie watched the goods being loaded onto the cart, bought a train ticket and set off home.
