Chapter 11 A blessing in disguise
At around three o'clock, younger sister Wang Li had to go to the Children's Palace to attend an interest class. Wang Yuanchao went to the bookstore and post office to see where he could submit his manuscripts.

As a result, there were only a few publications I could submit to.

Wang Yuanchao wrote down several magazines and newspapers and first sent them to the most famous one, People's Literature, with a 4-cent stamp and a 1-cent envelope.

Even with a huge sum of 1 cent in hand, he couldn't buy anything. After thinking for a while, Wang Yuanchao decided to visit the school's music teacher Cao Yuanxiang and take advantage of Cao's resources for free.

After all, he had been a member of the school marching band.

There is no suitable gift in the space. 1 cent can only buy a pack of economical cigarettes. Forget it. What gift should he give to a kid who just graduated from junior high school? When he achieves something, can he still treat Teacher Cao badly?

I went straight to Teacher Cao's house, but his wife said that Teacher Cao had gone to the Children's Palace to teach.

He was not familiar with the master's wife, so it was obvious that he could not wait here.

I didn't do anything this afternoon. What should I do about the art troupe exam on Friday?

Wang Yuanchao could only go to the Children's Palace to see if he could meet Teacher Cao by chance. Time was tight, and without good preparation, he was not very confident.

Without music books, although he could sing a few songs of that era, he had never practiced them specifically and was afraid that he might not be able to get some tunes right. He mainly played the trumpet in the military band, but he had no other instrument to practice on, and the instruments all belonged to the school.

As a result, he ran into Chen Xueru outside the Children's Palace. This time, she came to pick up her son Hou Kui personally after school.

Chen Xueru, fanning herself with a folding fan, greeted us enthusiastically:

"Third brother of the Wang family, are you here to pick up your little sister from school? How are you feeling?"

Wang Yuanchao tried his best to be calm and composed, but as a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, he couldn't control his energy in front of Chen Xueru.

She wasn't dressed to impress, but the others were wearing coarse cloth, but she was wearing a cheongsam. Her pretty face, white calves, black shoes and white socks, close-fitting curves, and the scent of a woman made Wang Yuanchao's voice tremble a little:
"I'm fine."

He cursed inwardly, what had he not seen in his previous life? It was just that this body was too useless!
Chen Xueru was very satisfied with her charm. No one could be at ease in front of her.

Look at the third brother of the Wang family. Sweat is dripping from the tip of his nose! Young man, do you have the guts to criticize others behind their backs?

So he smiled and said:
"That's fine, that's fine."

Although the young man seemed okay, she didn't have any intention of communicating further, so she just stayed silent by being polite.

As a result, Wang Yuanchao suddenly said:

"Boss Chen, do you want some stockings?"

Chen Xueru didn't react for a moment, and when she finally reacted, she suddenly felt her feet were a little hot. Unfortunately, the cheongsam only reached below her knees and couldn't cover her calves.

She was not angry, but she restrained her smile and said softly:
"Do you have any connections with the Friendship Store?"

Wang Yuanchao just felt a little regretful for his recklessness, but after hearing what the other party said, he immediately nodded without thinking twice and said:
"It's definitely a good thing that most people can't get."

Chen Xueru didn't care. She was in the silk and cloth business, and all businessmen use the same rhetoric.

However, she also likes stockings.

But Friendship Stores require foreign exchange.

Since the fallout with the North, her contact with the North has been greatly affected. Even when she went on a business trip to Dashenghai, there was nowhere to buy it.

She couldn't help but move closer, and a faint fragrance drifted to Wang Yuanchao's nose.

"Then I want to take a look at the goods first."

Wang Yuanchao could almost hear his own heartbeat.

It is likely that a channel has been found for the vast inventory, which is exciting.

But there were ten in a pack and he hadn't opened the box, so it wouldn't be appropriate to just take them out like that.

"How much do you want?"

Chen Xueru's eyes lit up.

In the past, women in Dashenghai were not allowed to wear cheongsam with bare legs, as it was immoral! Once you put on stockings, your thighs are no longer exposed! 30 a pair, very tight.

She has been in the silk business for many years, and most of her customers are high-end. Nowadays, everyone has money, but the key is that there is no stock!

She couldn't help but press on, looking expectant:

"how much do you have?"

Wang Yuanchao had no choice but to take two steps back, but there was a wall behind him, so he could not retreat. He could only say awkwardly:

"What price can you offer?"

Chen Xueru looked around and said:
"I don't have any foreign exchange, but I'll give you enough."

Wang Yuanchao didn't know how much this thing cost. The other party didn't tell him, and he couldn't elaborate, lest he be exposed. He only knew that it was definitely not cheap.

A pair of nylon socks costs 2 yuan, and 5 industrial coupons are needed! How much material is that?

Industrial coupons are only issued to workers, one for every 20 yuan of wages.

In the Pigeon Market, it is a hard currency equivalent to the national food coupons. If you insist on buying and selling it, it will cost about one dollar and sixty-seven dollars per piece!
These are pantyhose. The material used must be five or six times that of nylon stockings, right? Without mentioning other things, the material alone would cost 10 to 15 yuan per pair, right? With the industrial coupons, the price would at least quadruple! That would be 40 to 60 yuan!

Luxury goods, what is luxury goods? This is it!

The Friendship Store has purchase restrictions, you can’t buy it even if you have money!

But no one cared about the price anymore, so he became nonchalant:

"The price at the Friendship Store has doubled, and they also require industrial vouchers. Are you sure you want it?"

The corner of Chen Xueru's eyes twitched slightly, and Wang Yuanchao didn't know how he could observe so carefully. It seemed that the price was higher than the other party's expectations.

But it doesn’t matter, even if you ask for a high price, you can pay it back when it’s low.

Chen Xueru said:

"They want to earn foreign exchange to pay off their debts, so the price is already high. Not only do you want to double it, you also need industrial vouchers..."

Chen Xueru didn't think this person's appetite would only require a few coupons.

Wang Yuanchao tried hard to force a smile and said:
"It's okay. Even if the deal doesn't work out, we still have a bond. Do you want more? How much do you want?"

Women's love of beauty is something that men cannot guess. During World War II, a pair of stockings in the United States sold for thousands of dollars! And in US dollars! Whose money is the easiest to make? Women!

Chen Xueru took a few deep breaths. No matter what, let’s take a look at the goods first!
Wang Yuanchao could clearly see the ups and downs in front of the other party.

"I need to check the goods first. There is no problem with the goods. There is no problem."

Wang Yuanchao liked this tone very much.

"What color do you prefer, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Xueru was a little confused. What other colors are there? Besides flesh color... oh, there is also black! This guy is really wild, how can he get black?

He immediately said with a little excitement:

"Bring them all here for a look, I'll take them all if they're good!"

I have to say that there is still a market for high-end silk fabrics.

Wang Yuanchao also became excited. If the deal could be made, it wouldn't matter whether he worked or not. With this money, it would be enough for him to survive the catastrophe safely.

"Then you have to be prepared. We have to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."

Chen Xueru said generously:

"Don't worry, I can eat not only ten pairs, but also twenty pairs!"

In order to do business, Chen Xueru had to lower her generation to the same level as Wang Yuanchao.

Besides, her mother was a very reasonable aunt, and she believed that she should call the mother of the Wang brothers aunt. Calling her "big sister" yesterday made her seem frivolous!

Wang Yuanchao was stunned. He only wanted ten or twenty pairs? He had a thousand pairs. How long would it take to sell them all?
Chen Xueru was very satisfied when she saw Wang Yuanchao's slightly open mouth in surprise, and said with a smile:

"As long as your goods are good, we will keep doing business with you! Sister Chen, when you do business, you must be honest and trustworthy, and never cheat anyone."

Wang Yuanchao smiled politely. It seems that he needs to find more sales channels. By next year, there will only be one tone left in the streets and alleys: black, green and blue!

He immediately struck while the iron was hot:

"How about we go over to your place tonight? My brother is also running around outside, and I'm afraid that if I'm too slow, he'll have already gotten all the goods."

Chen Xueru immediately remembered what her eldest son said yesterday. No wonder the two brothers were chatting about women outside the Children's Palace. They were looking for customers. But men selling stockings... Hey, this matter still depends on women.

"Yes, I'll wait for you in the store tonight. It's my store, you know it?"

Wang Yuanchao nodded repeatedly. His second brother described it in such detail. It was right on Qianmen Street. He had never been there, but he could find it if he looked for it.

So without waiting for his beloved teacher Cao, he turned around and went home to prepare.

You can't just take out a plastic bag of stockings and give it to Boss Chen, right?
　On January 72, 1, in accordance with the No. 22 directive, the State Planning Commission submitted the "Report on Importing Complete Sets of Chemical Fiber and Fertilizer Equipment". Before that, chemical fibers were all imported products. In the 40s, the old Shenghai sold for about 30 yuan. The protagonist's price was okay, but he wanted a coupon, which was a bit too much. But Chen must have thought that the power behind the protagonist wanted this price, and the protagonist was just a small errand broker who got commissions, so he didn't lower the price. Because she compared herself, she could accept it. Don't underestimate women's love of beauty. And the old chemical fiber stockings were very strong and durable... Of course, they were not elastic and breathable.

　　In addition to the golden fingers, Rourou is a party that tries to be as reasonable as possible.

　　Please collect and read, so that Rourou can have a chance to drive for everyone
