Chapter 242 Going to Haishi to make money

After the border riots ended, the higher-ups decided to withdraw the large border troops. However, just in case, they still left a small number of troops behind to assist with daily patrols.

Don't underestimate these small teams, they are equipped with portable phones.

Unlike before, when they discovered something unusual, they had to rush back to the contact point to contact the troops, and the time wasted in the process was naturally not a small amount.

It is different now. As long as the team on the border finds something wrong, they can immediately notify the troops, and the troops can also keep track of the latest situation on the border through calls.

So the large army here retreated without any psychological burden.

Lu Beiyuan finally has time to go home and see his wife!

However, Lu Beiyuan did not take the train back, and it was even more impossible for him to take a plane back.

He had already discussed with Yu Jiang that he would leave the army a day in advance, go to Hai City to do a big business, and then come back eventually.

Anyway, he has a flying vehicle, and the round trip only takes a few hours, so the remaining time is enough for him to make a big deal.

In fact, Lu Beiyuan was not a person who cared too much about money, but he had a wife who was obsessed with making money.

After being led by Yu Jiang to do several "bad things", Lu Beiyuan would not do anything else that might damage the national interests, but if it could hit the Red Committee, Lu Beiyuan would unconsciously think about it.

As for why it was Hai City instead of Beijing City, firstly, Beijing City is the national center after all, and the security level is definitely the highest. Although Lu Beiyuan has superpowers and a lot of interstellar high-tech, what if there is an accident?

It wasn't just him that was affected.

Secondly, compared to Beijing City, Hai City is now in chaos due to those people!

It’s just that such a chaotic place, if handled well, would be Lu Beiyuan’s first choice for making trouble and making money!

Not to mention that it is almost the Chinese New Year, and every household is counting on this time to buy some things for their home so that they can celebrate the New Year in a decent manner.

This time, Yu Jiang even sponsored Lu Beiyuan with nearly a thousand kilograms of various fruits, and let Lu Beiyuan exchange the rest by himself in the time and space exchange machine.

For example, pork is a must-have for the Chinese New Year. Lu Beiyuan directly exchanged for more than a hundred pigs and put them in his space bracelet.

Also, the high-priced items these days include military coats, four-piece sets of bed sheets, radios, sewing machines, bicycles, watches, and even vanishing cream, which is not expensive but is often sold out. Don't leave any of these out.

Thinking that there were many rich people in Hai City, Lu Beiyuan also got some rare goods that could only be found in Friendship Stores, such as lipsticks or watches of foreign brands. Although these things were not big, they were also a way to make money.

Lu Beiyuan had a comrade-in-arms who was from Haishi. He had just returned from visiting his relatives in January this year. He had been to the black market at that time, so after returning to the army, he told everyone about the situation of the Haishi black market during a lively conversation as if it were a curiosity.

Others just thought it was a joke. Even if they knew about the black market in Haishi, they would not go to Haishi just to go to the black market.

Not to mention that even if they wanted to do something in this regard, they would not be qualified to enter like Yu Jiang or Lu Beiyuan.

Thanks to the unconscious assistance of his comrade, Lu Beiyuan successfully found the Haishi black market and contacted the boss of the black market.

When the black market boss heard about the huge quantity of goods mentioned by Lu Beiyuan, his first reaction was that he was playing a trick on him. But when he saw Lu Beiyuan's clothes, which were covered tightly so that no one could see his face, and the pistol hanging on his waist, which was covered by his clothes, but still visible at a glance...

This!

This is definitely not an easy role.

The black market boss was not a fool either. His attitude towards Lu Beiyuan immediately became extremely serious and he even began to probe into Lu Beiyuan's background with his words.

Lu Beiyuan was very annoyed by this kind of questioning to find out his details, and finally said to the black market boss: "I know whose territory this Haishi is, otherwise I would not have found you.

Don't worry, I just want to take the opportunity to do some small business and make some quick money. It won't have any impact on you and that person."

As soon as these words came out, the black market boss's words were blocked in his mouth.

This guy actually knows who his boss is!

It’s really not easy!

However, if he really just came here to do a business, it would not be impossible as long as it does not interfere with the plans of the person above.

After thinking it over for a while, he finally agreed to do this business with Lu Beiyuan.

Lu Beiyuan took the opportunity to ask him to move in the goods that he had placed in a nearby alley so that the black market boss could inspect them first.

After the two men agreed on the specific price, Lu Beiyuan used the excuse that the quantity of goods was too large and asked the black market boss to take people to a barren mountain in the nearby suburbs tomorrow. He would put all the goods there, and they would go there directly to exchange the money and the goods.

After finishing, Lu Beiyuan went to the barren mountain they had agreed on, and placed all the goods in an inconspicuous valley. He also artificially created some traces of wheels that had been wiped out after a large truck had passed by.

Finally, I returned to my aircraft, turned on stealth mode and spent the night inside.

The next morning, the black market boss brought his brothers to the barren mountain as promised.

Seeing that this place was piled up like a small mountain with all kinds of things, both the black market bosses and their subordinates wanted to dig out their eyeballs and take a closer look.

The most shocked was the black market boss. Perhaps he could have comforted himself yesterday that it was just a coincidence that the man in front of him chose the desolate mountain as the trading location.

But now that he has seen the goods, how could he not understand? The man in front of him clearly knows that his lair is not far away!

Lu Beiyuan confidently let the twenty or so younger brothers inspect the goods. He seemed to be sitting under a tree with his eyes closed to rest, but in fact he was paying attention to the actions of his subordinates from time to time.

In the end, the transaction was successful. Lu Beiyuan successfully sold nearly 1,000 kilograms of fruit. With the blessing of the Chinese New Year, he earned more than 500 yuan.

Lu Beiyuan looked at this very unprofitable business and made up his mind that next time he would let his wife take the things directly to the time and space exchange machine to exchange them!

The same thing can be exchanged in the time-space exchange machine, at least a box of jewelry or a warehouse of hot weapons.

Five hundred yuan is indeed a huge sum of money in this era, but for Yu Jiang and Lu Beiyuan, it is really a bit of a loss!

In fact, Yu Jiang gave Lu Beiyuan the fruit so that he could exchange it for points in the time-space exchange machine. However, Yu Jiang came in the middle of the night in a flying vehicle, dropped off the things and ran away without explaining clearly to Lu Beiyuan.

Lu Beiyuan also mistakenly thought that he was asked to take the items along to sell, and did not ask any more questions.

So, this beautiful misunderstanding came into being.

Having said that, compared to fruits, the income from other things is obviously more impressive.

The first ones were a hundred pigs, each weighing more than two hundred and fifty kilograms. Lu Beiyuan simply sold them at a price of one hundred and fifty yuan each and was too lazy to weigh them one by one.

Just one hundred pigs earned Lu Beiyuan fifteen thousand yuan.

The black market price for a four-piece set of bed sheets was fifty yuan per set. Lu Beiyuan took out fifty sets, which cost him two thousand five hundred yuan.

A radio costs thirty yuan, and Lu Beiyuan prepared fifty of them; a bicycle costs one hundred yuan, and Lu Beiyuan also prepared fifty of them; a sewing machine costs eighty yuan, and Lu Beiyuan also prepared fifty of them.

As for the expensive and small watches, Lu Beiyuan directly prepared two hundred of them and sold each for one hundred yuan.

Finally, there are novelties like electric fans. Although they are not needed in this weather, they are definitely good things that money can't buy in the summer! Lu Beiyuan charged 80 yuan for each fan and sold 50 of them.

Adding a bunch of other relatively cheap items, the final calculation showed that Lu Beiyuan's transaction cost was zero and he made a net profit of 52,329 yuan.

The largest denomination of banknotes now is 10 yuan. With more than banknotes, Lu Beiyuan had to use two large bags to barely fit them all.
