Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"Boss Cao, are you interested?" Ye San looked at Cao Wei with sharp eyes. Although he asked a question, his tone was very affirmative.

"Ha." Cao Wei was happy: "Don't tell me, if you talk about this, I'm interested. As long as you can get it, the price is negotiable."

"I can't get it." Ye San shook his head and paused, as if waiting for Cao Wei's reaction.

Cao Wei did not react violently, but was waiting for his next words.

"My channel requires a large amount of goods to be purchased." Ye San sighed: "To be honest, I have made a lot of money these days, and my neighbors have also made a lot. Logically speaking, the money I make is enough for me to live a carefree life. But I don't accept it. Tell me, why are those white people better than us?"

"So, I thought, I have to do something for our country. And so, I came to you. You are a man of courage, and I want to cooperate with you on this matter."

After hearing this, Cao Wei sneered in his heart.

Good man, you are doing something for the country. If you have any shame, you can't say this.

"How can we cooperate? And when can you let me get this pig through your channels?"

"It's not just breeding pigs, we can also get grandparent chickens and other things that need to be bred. The key is that we have to buy enough goods from them. I don't have that much money on hand now. I roughly calculated that according to my current way of making money, it will take at least two years to earn enough money. By then, no one knows what this channel will become."

"You mean, we need to buy more goods to gain the other party's trust, right?"

"Yes, that's what I mean."

"How much does it cost?"

"There's no definite number, but according to what they said, at least we have to buy a shipload of goods. I estimate it will cost tens of millions. But don't worry, those are all good goods, big color TVs, electronic watches, and all kinds of clothes. They will sell well in this city."

"Goods worth tens of millions? Easy to sell? Does Boss Ye think I'm a fool?" Cao Wei looked at Ye San with a half-smile.

"Oh, that's not what I meant. I meant ..."

"Needless to say, I can't possibly agree to such a thing." Cao Wei shook his head and stood up.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be anxious, don't be anxious. How about this, how about this, you can cooperate with me on a small scale first, and then you can see the profit. There is no need to be in a hurry. Just buy this batch of goods first. Then, after you buy them, I will help you sell them and show you my level. I don't want much, just give me 30% of the profit." Ye San hurriedly stopped Cao Wei.

"Come to Samadhi Tower tomorrow to sign the contract. I will give you one hundred thousand. I want to see results in half a month." Cao Wei glanced at him.

These words made Ye San pause.

"Is it okay?" Cao Wei asked again.

"Okay...Okay."

"That's good. I have something else to do. You go ahead." Cao Wei looked at his watch and walked out of the teahouse.

Ye San sat in the room in a daze.

After a while, Ye Da walked in, still looking like the hunchbacked old man.

"What happened?" Ye Da asked.

"It worked, and it didn't work." Ye San sighed irritably, "He gave 100,000."

One hundred thousand, this amount was calculated very cleverly. They cheated an old man of thirty thousand yuan, and used this thirty thousand yuan to open a route from south to north. This route was the route that the goods were transported in that day. After this route was opened, they made another fortune. You say they have no money, they don’t, but all their assets are added up, at least 70,000 or 80,000 yuan.

The key is that this path can make money continuously.

I'm not willing to just take this hundred thousand and leave.

But Ye Da became alert: "Why would he give 100,000? This number is just at the level where we want to run away but don't want to run away!"

"There's nothing strange about this." Ye San explained, "I've been to Samadhi Building several times these days. The first time, I was just in the Samadhi dining hall. The second time, I went to the lobby. The third time, I went to the second floor, and he saw me there. The fourth time, I went to the third floor, so he probably knows my wealth. A meal on the third floor is not cheap. If he wants to test us, it's not surprising that he gave me this amount of money."

After hearing what Ye San said, Ye Da calmed down.

There was silence for a moment.

"That Cao guy is no ordinary person. He dared to open his first restaurant and expanded it to such a large scale. He must have his strengths. Let's continue. We must gain his trust before we have a chance. He is very capable, but I guess he doesn't have much patience. The first time is 100,000, the second time is estimated to be 500,000, and 1 million. Three times, three times will be enough."

"Three times, it's time to close the net after three times." Cao Wei stretched out three fingers and said to Wu Changshun.

"How do you know it."

"Because next time I plan to give him 50, and the next time, it will be 500 million. He won't run away with 50, but he will definitely run away with 500 million."

"One hundred thousand. With all those watches and clothes he has, he can't spend that much."

"Then how much he spends has nothing to do with me. If he can't even spend money, he can't cheat me." Cao Wei shrugged.

How much does the watch cost? One hundred thousand yuan, not much, but it is not something that Ye San and his people can handle.

So, Ye San can only find Ye Liu.

Ye Liu has been doing very well these days. He followed Ye San's path and got some clothes from the south, which he gave to Fei Quan to sell. It doesn't matter if he doesn't sell them, but once he does, he can't stop, as if he has eaten wheat. He just lies down and counts the money.

When Ye San found him, he hesitated.

"Third brother." Ye Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't we just stop doing this? Look, we can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month by just taking care of the work. How much can we get if we try to cheat people?"

"Ten million."

"what?"

"You can swindle 10 million." Ye San said indifferently, "Ye Liu, I am not discussing with you, but informing you that a batch of goods will arrive tomorrow. You ask your people to move them. They are color TVs, just like before. You operate and sell them. Bring me a batch of watches."

"Color TV?!" Ye Liu was shocked. "Is it true? That thing is not easy to make!"

No one cares about small gadgets, electronic watches, clothes, etc. But it's different with color TVs, which involve smuggling.

Ordinary people can’t handle it.

"Really, well done this time, there will be more next time. Don't let me leak it."

"Don't worry, Third Brother, it won't leak."
