Chapter 73 First Collaboration
Chapter 73 First Collaboration
Back at Beichuan Department Store, Zhang Beichuan looked at Lan Baojun, who stood like a gatekeeper, and couldn't help but laugh and cry.
"Baojun, you can go sleep next door without worry. I'll wake you up when I go out later."
Lan Baojun, who had been up until the wee hours of the morning, yawned widely, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't hold on any longer.
"Okay then, but you absolutely have to call me later."
Don't worry.
Zhang Beichuan watched him go to sleep in the next room, and within minutes, a deafening snoring sound filled the air, which made Zhang Beichuan chuckle.
This sleep quality is truly exceptional.
But instead of sleeping, he had a sudden thought and traveled back to 2026.
Looking at myself in the mirror, I felt perfectly fine, except for a slight hangover in my head, but nothing else.
Zhang Beichuan smiled; it was exactly as he had guessed.
If you can go back to 2026, even if you were injured in 1986, you will recover naturally without leaving a scar.
So he traveled between the two worlds and brought all the more than 1,000 jin of eels to Beichuan Aquatic Products.
Only then did I have time to sit down and reply to my mother's message that evening asking about the progress of today's blind date.
"When I saw her, the girl didn't fancy me."
After replying to the message, Zhang Beichuan looked at the order message sent by Wang Ping, as well as the goods that Ma Ben wanted.
We need to reserve at least 380 jin of eels, 40 jin of loaches, and 60 free-range chickens. Based on this calculation, we can only sell a little over 600 jin of eels and about 70 jin of loaches in the market today.
As for the free-range chickens, he didn't plan to continue selling them at the Baijia Market until he had enough stock.
He turned off his phone, lay down on a deck chair at Beichuan Fisheries, and drifted off to sleep until 2 a.m.
After selling local yellow eels at Baijia Market for a few days, Beichuan aquatic products gradually began to gain a small reputation.
The 640 jin of eels and 70 jin of loaches sold out quickly.
"Brother Tao, there are 102 jin of eels in total, just give me 4280."
After Zhang Beichuan finished speaking, he glanced at the remaining eels in the jar, which weighed about a pound. He decided not to sell any more, since very few people would buy a pound of eels at this hour, so he simply gave it to him for free.
"There might be about a pound of eel left, consider it a small bonus from me."
Li Tao, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, nodded and readily picked up his phone to transfer the money. "The money's gone."
"4300 yuan received via WeChat".
Hearing the voice broadcast, Zhang Beichuan turned his head, smiled at Li Tao who had already left.
After tidying up his stall, he rested for a while and then went to deliver goods to Wang Ping's place at dawn.
"You've worked hard." Wang Ping handed him a cigarette.
Zhang Beichuan took the cigarette, smiled, and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing."
While the two were smoking, someone from the kitchen came over to check the quantities with Wang Ping.
"Boss, this young man brought 162.6 jin of eels, 40 jin of loaches, and 62 jin of free-range chickens."
Zhang Beichuan quickly added, "Brother Wang, just calculate the price according to the weight we agreed on, and consider the rest as a free gift from your brother."
"No way, business is business." Wang Ping immediately pulled out a calculator to calculate the money.
Zhang Beichuan stepped forward and pressed his hand down.
"Brother Wang, you introduced me to such a big business deal, and I don't really have much to help you with. Here's a few pounds of worthless stuff, why don't you take it?"
Seeing his sincere expression, Wang Ping flicked off his cigarette ash and grinned.
"Okay, thanks!"
"It's nothing." Zhang Beichuan tossed away the cigarette butt in his hand. "Then I'll go get busy. I still have to deliver goods to Brother Ma."
"Okay, you're busy. I'll transfer the money to your card."
"Okay, you can go back now."
After leaving Wang Ping's place, Zhang Beichuan got into the car, turned on the navigation, and headed straight for Taoyuan Mountain Villa.
Taoyuan Villa is located in the suburbs of Nanmen City, backed by an artificial lake, surrounded by lush greenery and a tranquil environment.
The main gate is an antique-style archway, quite imposing.
I asked the security guard and drove along the internal road to the kitchen area.
Zhang Beichuan parked his car and got out. Hu, the purchasing manager who had been notified in advance, quickly walked up to him.
"Hello, I'm Zhang Beichuan. I've already arranged with your boss, Mr. Ma, to deliver eels and free-range chickens."
"Hello, Mr. Zhang." Manager Hu greeted him politely, stepping forward to shake hands. "My surname is Hu, and I'm the logistics supervisor here. General Manager Ma specifically instructed us last night to wait for you. He was in a good mood last night and can't come in person today."
"Hello Manager Hu, Mr. Ma, you're too kind. It's nothing. The goods are all in the truck, please take a look." Zhang Beichuan said, opening the trunk.
Inside the carriage, several special aquatic product boxes and chicken coops woven from bamboo strips were neatly stacked.
Manager Hu leaned closer to examine it carefully, then had someone next to him scoop up a few eels for inspection. He picked up a free-range chicken and looked at it, a satisfied expression on his face.
"Yes, that's right!"
"I'm glad you're satisfied," Zhang Beichuan said with a smile, offering to help move the goods downstairs.
But Manager Hu wouldn't allow it. "Boss Zhang, you don't need to worry about unloading. General Manager Ma specifically instructed that you are a distinguished guest, so please go inside and have some tea. Once we've unloaded and weighed the goods, the finance department will settle the accounts immediately."
"Okay, thanks then."
"You're welcome." Manager Hu led the way, taking Zhang Beichuan to the reception room, where tea and snacks were served.
After waiting for about half an hour, Manager Hu pushed the door open and entered again.
"Boss Zhang, 208 jin of eels and 310 jin of free-range chickens. Mr. Ma said the eels are 42 and the chickens are 46, right? If there are no problems, I'll have the finance department settle the accounts right away."
Zhang Beichuan thought for a moment. They were all in long-term business, and since it was the first time he was delivering goods, he should show some goodwill.
"How about we calculate it based on 200 or 300 jin? That would be more convenient."
"No, no, no, Boss Zhang, Mr. Ma instructed that the amount should be the amount we're charging." Manager Hu looked troubled. "If I really do that, Mr. Ma will be unhappy."
"Well... okay then."
Thanks to Ma Ben's specific instructions and Manager Hu's personal oversight, the usually slow finance department completed the remittance very quickly.
Zhang Beichuan, who was in the reception room, heard his phone ring in his pocket and took it out.

Looking at the numbers on his phone screen, Zhang Beichuan smiled.
At the current rate, the daily income is approaching 6 yuan, and with the addition of more and more villagers joining in catching eels since 1986.
In just a few days, this number will continue to climb.
Just as he was reveling in his dream of getting rich, he suddenly realized that eels are also seasonal.
Once October 1986 was over, eels became harder to catch.
Coming to his senses, he realized that he not only needed to speed up the purchase of eels and free-range chickens in 1986, but also needed to start considering the establishment of a chicken farm.
Having determined his next goal, Zhang Beichuan did not linger at Taoyuan Villa. After thanking Manager Hu, he went straight back to his rented room.
He carefully unpacked the TV, pencil case, and other items he had bought online last time, and meticulously compared them with the TV he had found in the second-hand appliance section.
After confirming that the items had not been modified, he picked up his phone and ordered 50 TVs, with a cost of only 3000 yuan.
After packing the four televisions he had bought into cardboard boxes, Zhang Beichuan went to find some nylon bags to pack nylon stockings, pencil cases, and other small items.
After filling ten bags, I had a sudden thought and returned to 1986.
