Chapter 53 I Like Ambitious People
The third floor of Chen Xueru's silk shop

Chen Xueru placed the small yellow croakers in their proper positions and checked the records to make sure she knew where each one came from.

The night before yesterday, Wang Yuanchao just played with each small yellow croaker for a while and then took one out. She weighed it for a long time and found nothing unusual, unless it was cut or melted. But then there would be no surface signs of use and seals, and it would become broken gold, and its value would be discounted.

So she wanted to see tonight whether the other party really had the skills or was just pretending.

There was one thing among them that she was very clear about, which was filled with tungsten. If she hadn't known it in advance, she would never have been able to judge it. Could it be that the small yellow croaker that Wang Yuanchao threw out the night before was also mixed with tungsten?

We will soon know the result.

Fan Jinyou's eyes were red. These past two days, he was greatly stimulated by watching his wife collecting gold bars.

He thought, how can you sell 50 pairs of stockings? Wouldn't you lose everything?
As a result, on Monday morning, her daughter-in-law went out to make phone calls for a long time. In the afternoon, people started coming to the third floor one after another, and the sales of silk in the store also increased.

Chen Xueru made it very clear to the big customers that they would only accept her small yellow croaker. If they brought cash, she would have to go to the market to exchange it, so the cash price would increase.

Why would the ladies care about the price difference of twenty or thirty yuan for small yellow croaker?
What they care about is that the skin on their legs is silky and shiny, and they feel like they are reborn at the age of eighteen!
Not to mention, the men in the family were in great spirits.

Without stockings, they couldn't even bear to look at their dry and ugly legs.

So, is this a stocking? It's like a second life!
Not only does it beautify your skin, it also modifies your curves!

Some people only dare to wear it at home, to show off to themselves and their masters;
Some have the courage to wear it out to attend banquets, and her flawless beautiful legs, set off by the cheongsam, are the focus of all men and women in the audience.

Even if someone is cursing, their eyes will turn away on their own. Whether it is intentional or not, women are the most sensitive to this and cannot pretend.

So Chen Xueru repeatedly made appointments with everyone to go to the store, but many people couldn't hold back their excitement and came early.

Because they were collecting small yellow croakers, the movement was much slower, and Fan Jinyou was not suitable to go up and help, as he had to go to work!

But no matter whether it was noon or evening, he would always come to the store after get off work to check on Chen Xueru's business.

The women were discussing the sale of stockings, using some vulgar language which was not suitable for a grown man like him to listen to.

He could only walk around downstairs.

50 pairs of stockings, plus the two pairs that I had been holding in my hands, 45 pairs were sold in just one afternoon, one evening, and one day. Three or five pairs was not a big deal at all.

Because some people complained that these stockings were not durable and were damaged after only two weeks of wear.

Chen Xueru said directly:

"Can this kind of fine silk be compared to the nylon socks you can wear on the ground?

You can't walk on your own if you wear this!

Don't touch hard things!

Wear only silk clothes! Cloth will be rough and might damage it..."

If Wang Yuanchao heard this, he would definitely praise Chen Xueru for having mastered the essence of luxury goods, and add:
This thing cannot be washed, just throw it away after use.

When Wang Yuanchao rode his bicycle over, Chen Xueru lifted the blue velvet cloth on the table, and 14 small yellow croakers were neatly arranged underneath, along with 45 yuan in change.

Fan Jinyou didn't follow us this time. He was guarding the door downstairs.

"Brother, please!"

Wang Yuanchao suddenly felt that Sister Xueru had become even more beautiful.

He shook off all distracting thoughts in his mind and began to play with the small yellow croakers one by one.

Chen Xueru stared at his movements, eyes and expressions.

When Wang Yuanchao picked up the problematic small yellow croaker, there was a barely perceptible twitch in the corner of his eye.

It’s not a guess!

How could he tell there was a problem right away?
14 small yellow croakers, no surprise, that one was returned to its original place. Chen Xueru didn't say much, just said:
"I still have some here, I'll change it for you!"

She turned around and went to the room to get other small yellow croakers. In these two days, she collected 23 of them!

As for the rest, it’s all in cash, of course.

She discharged a small yellow croaker.

As usual, Wang Yuanchao reached out and picked it up, played with it for a while, and said:
"Sister Chen, it's OK!"

In front of him, Wang Yuanchao weighed the 14 small yellow croakers one by one, weighing a total of 432 grams, and then put them and 45 yuan in change into his bag.

Chen Xueru said:

"The little yellow croaker is really suffering here with you. It just stays in the canvas bag."

Wang Yuanchao returned the IOU with a smile, saying:
"You can't think of it, so others won't think of it either. The less you think of it, the safer it is. My job is just to send them to where they should go. They won't stay here forever, right?"

Chen Xueru gave a charming smile and said:

"Go back and ask if you can get another batch of goods! Summer is almost over, and the capital's autumn is short. Even if there are still goods, it will be difficult to digest them!"

In fact, the money earned is enough to make people feel soft.

Chen Xueru couldn't bear to leave.

I want to earn a little more at the end of summer.

Coincidentally, Wang Yuanchao also had the same idea!
He immediately said:

“I’ll go back and ask.

But I am worried that they have the goods, but you, Sister Chen, want me to wait.

I'm stuck in the middle, and I've been having trouble sleeping and eating these past two days!"

Chen Xueru smiled and patted Wang Yuanchao and said:
"You don't trust me, Sister Xueru? When Hou Kui slapped you, I took Hou Kui to your house without saying anything! At that time, I didn't even know how badly you were injured!"

Wang Yuanchao was silent and shot him to death, otherwise he would not be able to come over. But it is true that, at least for now, Chen Xueru is still trustworthy.

"Then how much goods can you buy with the funds you have on hand, Sister Chen?"

Chen Xueru blinked and said:
"I have 8 small yellow croakers here! In addition,"

Chen Xueru looked down the stairs and saw her husband waiting downstairs, then she whispered:

“I have some connections in the northern embassy. My friend once wore stockings to deal with the staff of the Gallic embassy. The hostess of the Gallic embassy wanted it very much.

You can pay in pounds there, will you accept it?"

The pound sterling is still the world currency these days, but Wang Yuanchao doesn’t know the exchange rate of the pound sterling!
Where did he exchange the pounds?

As for the small yellow croakers, he lets them sleep in the space, waiting to show their skills after the reform and opening up!

So he shook his head and said, "Don't touch anything you are not familiar with."

Seeing this, Chen Xueru sighed that she was indeed cautious. Otherwise, she would have received the pounds and would have to exchange them in public. This kind of business is not suitable for exposure and is not in line with the current environment.

She also knows how to keep a low profile, and it is enough to maintain good relationships with her friends in the Northern Embassy.

This won’t be a problem to sell.

Wang Yuanchao took out three more silk handkerchiefs from his bag, pushed them in front of Chen Xueru, and said:
"Sister Chen, I brought some goods today, so I can take half of your deposit first. When can you give me the rest? This is not the first time we've dealt with each other, and I'm too lazy to make another trip."

Chen Xueru was overjoyed. She liked such an ambitious and unconventional business partner!
Wang Yuanchao also left Chen Xueru his dormitory address and work phone number, so that if anything happened in the future, she would not have to go to the courtyard and avoid facing questioning from her mother, Comrade Miao Cui.
