“Sister-in-law, just say the word. As long as it’s something that the two of us can do, we will definitely complete the task!” Li Xin said immediately. When the two of them were still selling popcorn in the capital, they had heard about Qiao Mei and her way of doing things. They knew very well that Qiao Mei would not harm them or ask them to do anything illegal, which was why they dared to make such a promise to her.
Qiao Mei nodded in satisfaction. This person was indeed eloquent. For the next three hours, Qiao Mei told Liu Guang and Li Xin about her plan. As she spoke, the two of them went from being filled with admiration for her to feeling excited about their upcoming task. Even Chi Ze was starting to admire Qiao Mei’s courage and insight.
“Here’s 150,000 dollars and it’s meant to be the capital for the business. The other 20,000 dollars is for both of you to buy new clothes. Clothes make the man. When you need to meet people, you must maintain a certain image,” Qiao Mei said as she patted the bag on the table.
“20,000 dollars is really way too much! What kind of clothes are so expensive? I think 200 dollars each is more than enough for us!” Liu Guang said.
“You must buy the most expensive and the nicest clothes so that other people won’t view you with suspicion. If there’s any money left after that, you can spend it however you want. You can use it to pay for your travel expenses or as tips to people on the way. Let me know if the money runs out. After this task is done, I’ll also give you a big reward,” Qiao Mei said.
“Alright! We definitely won’t let Sister-in-law down!” Li Xin said happily. Liu Guang patted Li Xin’s shoulder and said, “Let’s get to work. Time is of the essence.”
“True, true, true! Then Sister-in-law, we’ll get going first!” After Li Xin finished speaking, the two of them left the factory with the bag full of money from Qiao Mei and set off for Lian City.
The two of them were very excited. They were holding on to 150,000 dollars!
They had never even seen so much money in their dreams. Furthermore, Qiao
Mei was not at all worried about handing them so much money. She did not even ask them to sign anything. Even blood relatives would not give one another so much money in one go.
They definitely could not disappoint Qiao Mei. They must complete this task well.
The first thing they did was to get in touch with some personal connections and grease some palms so that they could rent a car. The car looked very battered though and Liu Guang even wondered if it could last them until they reached Lian City. However, they had to rent a car no matter what. This was supposed to highlight the fact that the two of them had deep pockets.
“Sigh, can’t you rent a better car? This car doesn’t look so good. What if it falls apart on the way?” Liu Guang said disdainfully.
“The other cars are all very expensive! Moreover, it’s already very impressive to be able to get a car at this time. Many big bosses don’t even have cars!” Li Xin said.
During this time, there were only four or five people in the car rental business. In order to satisfy their vanity, some people wanted to show off that they have a “personal car”. Other people needed a car for important occasions. Most of the cars available for rental were cars salvaged from the scrapyard and then sent to the repair shop for repairs and modifications. These cars were barely just roadworthy enough.
“You’re right. How much is the rental for this car?” Liu Guang asked.
“It’s 50 dollars a day. We need to pay for the petrol ourselves. The deposit is
10,000 dollars.” Li Xin briefly repeated the information he received to Liu
Guang~
“Alright, let’s rent it for a month first,” Liu Guang said.
The two of them put on their suits and leather shoes and drove to Lian City.
On the way, Liu Guang asked around about the food factories located nearby. They went to visit many factories along the way and finally arrived at Tan Shi’s factory.
Liu Guang got out of the car with his briefcase under his arm. When Tan Shi heard the noise outside, he immediately went to the entrance of the factory to greet his visitors.
“Gentlemen, what do you need?” Tan Shi asked with a wide grin.
“The two of us are here to do business and we want to order a batch of goods. We’ve been looking for a business partner in Lian City. May I know what kind of business you are in?” Liu Guang asked.
“We produce ham sausages and all kinds of canned food. I wonder what kind of goods you are looking for?” Tan Shi asked.
Li Xin took a big stride to stand in front of Tan Shi, gripped Tan Shi’s arm tightly and said, “Oh my! We’ve been searching high and low for this! And then we find it when we least expect it! What we’re looking for is a factory that can produce ham sausages!’
“What a coincidence! Bosses, come in and have a chat!” Tan Shi opened the main door and invited Liu Guang and Li Xin to his office in the factory..
