Those who deal in the black market can't possibly be inactive on the weekends.
Weekends are actually the busiest times for all black markets.
Bu Xiang Dong patted his brand-new bicycle, “Meet at the usual spot.”
“Wait, Dong Ge, you bought a bike? Wow, a Phoenix.”
“Just got it today. It's long and sturdy, want to feel it?”
The Fatty, in a daze, exclaimed, “It is really nice. It's definitely better than a young widow’s legs.”
“Have you felt them?”
“No, I haven't.”
“Damn, Fatty, you're so perverted, I thought you'd touched them.”
“Hey, I heard they charge three Mao for a touch. It’s worth it for a good meal, isn’t it?”
Fatty pulled out his money, “It was from the last deal with Old Jin. He wants to meet and talk about a partnership.”
Bu Xiang Dong took the money and pulled out five Yuan for him, “Tomorrow, let’s go to Da Shi Lan, and we’ll buy some things along the way.”
“Wow, the money you make. Fatty sheep at Dong Lai Shun, I’m coming for you.”
Hu Ba Yi’s face twitched, “Fatty, be a bit more low-key with your spending.”
“Why make money if you don’t spend it?”
“Damn it, we’re dealing in the black market.”
“Relax, did the old man give you another blessing? I’ll buy some snacks and visit him sometime.”
“Let me tell you, don't underestimate our current size, the future prospects are fantastic. Work hard, and strive to have a Phoenix bike someday. And a courtyard near the Forbidden City, a shop in Da Shi Lan near Zhengyang Gate.”
Hu Ba Yi, always straightforward, said, "I suspect you're just drawing us a pie in the sky.”
“Hehe, gotta have dreams, what if they come true?”
“I’ll ride ahead. You young guys should get some exercise.”
Hu Ba Yi and Wang Kai Xuan looked at each other in confusion.
It’s like Dong Ge is so old.
...................
“Dong Ge seems to have become a bit mysterious lately.”
“Indeed... My grandpa said that some people are destined for wealth, and their fortunes only turn around after setbacks.”
Hu Ba Yi’s explanation perfectly covered up the inconsistencies in Bu Xiang Dong’s situation.
“Your grandpa is amazing. What did he say about me?”
“Fatty, you can't spread what the old man says, we keep it to ourselves.”
“Hehe, Dong Ge sold his watch last time, and now he bought a new bike, what’s next…”
“He said he wants to buy a courtyard near the Forbidden City, I’m not even surprised anymore.”
On the other side, Bu Xiang Dong arrived on his bike first.
Same place as before.
Same formula.
Of course!
Bu Xiang Dong only brought 400 eggs, 5 boxes of canned fruit, and 100 jin of rice.
He waited for a while, then saw Hu Ba Yi and Wang Kai Xuan jogging towards him.
“Huff… Huff… Dong Ge, I want a bike too.”
Hu Ba Yi joked, “You should be thinking about losing weight.”
It’s strange, Fatty hasn’t been living that well, but he always gains weight.
“Damn, fat is the core competitive advantage.”
Hu Ba Yi rolled his eyes.
He always loses in their arguments.
“When I stand there, people think my family is rich. The truth!”
Bu Xiang Dong chuckled.
“Fatty, you're something, you've finally grasped such profound truths of life.”
“Hehe, is that all for tonight?”
“Fatty, what’s that attitude.”
Bu Xiang Dong twitched his lips, “Be careful. You guys sell tonight, if it doesn’t work, I’ll be the shill.”
“What?”
“If everything is alright, you guys go by yourselves next time.”
.......................
Retail prices are definitely higher than wholesale prices.
Selling to Big Gold Tooth’s dad is wholesale.
Selling in the black market is retail.
If Hu Ba Yi and Fatty can handle it, their retail income will be even more significant.
Hu Ba Yi nodded, “What about the prices?”
“Canned fruit no less than 5 Mao. Rice is 1 Mao 8 on the market, 3 Mao on the black market. Eggs are the same as last time.”
“What about you, Dong Ge?”
“You guys go do your thing. I want to go out and do my thing. Ah, the loneliness of being invincible.”
Hu Ba Yi and Fatty were dumbfounded.
Dong Ge is not the same Dong Ge anymore.
His style is getting more and more annoying.
“Just kidding. I need to look around, what goods are in high demand, what has high profits, right?”
Fatty winked, “I think you’re telling the truth about the previous sentence.”
“Get lost!”
“Alright!”
“I’ll give you the bike. If you get separated, meet at Dongzhimen later!”
Old Hu didn’t have his second-hand bike tonight.
But Bu Xiang Dong has a bike.
So, taking these goods to the black market isn’t difficult.
Hu Ba Yi looked back, “We still need to find a place, it will be difficult if it rains or gets windy.”
“I’ve asked around, you need a unit recommendation letter, otherwise, it’s hard to rent, unless you buy a small courtyard.”
It’s really hard to find a place. These days, whether it’s a warehouse or a courtyard, it’s not something you can just rent.
Because they’re worried about enemy agents.
Who would dare to rent out a place rashly?
If it’s an enemy agent, it’s a matter of life and death.
Even buying needs an opportunity, and Bu Xiang Dong’s trio has no reasonable explanation.
“Alright, I’ll figure it out.”
