Chapter 5: Robbery is about to occur

  The idea has been given, and this matter certainly doesn't require New to personally go run errands. Besides, even if Jiang Haiyang and Fu Zhenbang are at ease with him going to run errands, other factory leaders won't be at ease.

  People's hearts are separated by a thin layer of skin, not to mention they're afraid that if they pay new prices, they'll lose out on some benefits. As for how to exchange fertilizer indicators for coal indicators, this requires more professional people to handle it. If you let an underage person do it during the New Year, what if they get cheated and suffer losses? These are all naked self-interests!

  It didn't take three days. One day later, good news arrived, and two days later, the first truckload of coal was transported in, and the factory started production.

  The factory got the coal as they wished, and Jiang Haiyang would not go back on his word. Perhaps there might be some idle chatter in the factory, but these didn't matter anymore.

  Although it is not clear how much coal the factory got, looking at those leaders with a spring breeze on their faces, Jiang Haiyang gave him another 10 tons of fertilizer indicators, allowing him to take them away part by part. Pei Xin also had an idea in his mind and didn't bother to calculate carefully. The 10-ton fertilizer indicator made him feel contented.

  Now that we have a quota of 10 tons of fertilizer, the store also has a future. For now, let's sell fertilizers first, and when the benefits are good, with more money, go to Dongguang Province for a trip, bring some light industrial products to sell, this is what Pei Xing and others have planned long ago.

  They didn't use up all the funds, and paid 322 yuan to Wang and others. Not a cent less, they took away two tons of ammonium bicarbonate from the factory, and the store should be open for business now.

  When choosing a date, Fu Xin and others did not go to look at the Bai Zhong Jing, because Fu Xin thought it was unnecessary. So they chose January 1st, 1980, which happened to be the first day of all the post-80s generation, how great!

  Fu Xin thought so. Fu Xin mentioned this, and others had no objection. January 1st, New Year's Day, this day would not be bad after all, so it was decided.

  ……

  The clock's wheel turned to the first day of the 1980s, the weather was good, in this cold winter, the sun came out early and shone on people, warm and cozy.

  Fu Xin had Chen Guanyu and others prepare a string of firecrackers for the store early in the morning, ready to be used when they opened at 9 o'clock.

  At a little past seven in the morning, all five of them arrived at the entrance of the store. The big gate had a red cloth covering this sign, which was prepared yesterday. Actually, Fu Xin thought it wasn't necessary, but Chen Guanyu suggested it and others insisted on doing so, so Fu Xin just went along with it.

  This store, after all, is not his alone, other people's opinions are also worth listening to.

  Although this LeFu store in front of us is the first private-owned store after the founding of New China, Fu and others did not plan to make a big deal out of this opening ceremony.

  Although we have obtained the government's approval, don't make too much noise about it. Chen Guanyu's father, Jiang Haiyang, Fu Zhenbang, Fu Xin's master, and Fu Wen's master have all given instructions to keep a low profile on this matter.

  So, Fu Xin and others also brought their family members, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony was left to Chen Guanyu's father Chen Hong, Jiang Cheng's father Jiang Haiyang, and Fu Xin to handle.

  The first two were a county official and a current manager, so they could only go up with them.

  It was almost eight o'clock when all the family members arrived, and this house suddenly seemed a bit too small. It was really because they had brought their new families with five people each.

  ……

  The opening ceremony, although Fu Xin and others wanted to keep a low profile, but this is really not low-key, the fact that Fu Xin and others are going to open a store has already been known by some people, plus yesterday afternoon a plaque covered with red cloth was hung at the door, which made many people who didn't know the truth curious, this momentum, it seems like it's only seen before liberation!

  Unclear people ask those who know about the situation, and the result is that it spreads further. The national habit of loving to watch excitement has been experienced at this moment.

  At nine o'clock sharp, all the people who were supposed to arrive had arrived, and the area around the entrance of the store was packed with adults, elderly people, and children. Chen Hong came out of the house first, which was also inexperienced, as there is no leader who comes out in front, but Chen Hong did it this way, and Fu Xin didn't remind him, which isn't the point.

  This scene made onlookers somewhat astonished - isn't this store supposed to be private?

  As more people came out, everyone felt even stranger. Jiang Haiyang, Fu Zhenbang, these are no ordinary people!

  Under Chen Guanyu's command, a string of firecrackers was lit, and several people led by Fu Xin cut off the red cloth, revealing the three words "Jialefu" in front of everyone.

  Seeing many onlookers, Chen Hong still didn't make any speeches. After cutting the red ribbon, he left as he had official business to attend to. Others who also left included Jiang Haiyang and Fu Zhenbang, all of whom said they wanted to keep a low profile. As a result, so many people gathered around them that despite it being a non-working day at the factory, they chose to slip away in order to avoid drawing attention.

  Fu Xian saw this and didn't say anything. He just said that the Jia Le Fu supermarket was opening today, and then he went in with Chen Guanyu and others.

  This matter, it's better to downplay it. Jia Le Fu stores are just test products, being cautious is always good. If you want to take this opportunity to gain more influence, only a fool would do that.

  You know, many places are still under the commune system! If you don't want to be a revolutionary martyr, you have to be honest and low-key in your work.

  Carrefour store opened in a low-key manner, despite being heavily promoted, and was deliberately suppressed by the bosses.

  ……

  Although Fu Xin and others need to keep a low profile, they have to open the door for business, and even if they want to be low-key, they can't. Almost everyone in Hongxing Village knows that this store called Jialefu sells fertilizers.

  Chemical fertilizer is in short supply, and within less than a month, the two tons of chemical fertilizer that Jialefu supermarket took from the factory when it opened were sold out, making Fu Xin and others earn a fortune.

  Paper can't wrap fire after all, Pei Xing and others made a lot of money from this, many people knew about it, most people think that Pei Xing has made contributions to the factory, got fertilizer indicators, and opening a store is reasonable.

  But there are still many people who have ulterior motives.

  Seeing Fu Xin and others making money, some people's minds became active, wanting to learn from Fu Xin, getting fertilizer indicators from the factory and selling them out, taking the opportunity to make a fortune.

  Recently, the fertilizer indicator thing has made Jiang Haiyang very anxious. At first, one or two leaders in the factory wanted to get some fertilizer indicators for their relatives to sell, but Jiang Haiyang did not agree. Later, it was not just one or two people, but many of them came to ask him, and Jiang Haiyang still did not agree, but this matter had already made him very passive.

  Jia Le Fu store was out of stock. That afternoon, after getting off work, Fu Xin didn't go back to study with the old Taoist priest, but instead came to Jiang Cheng's house.

  "Pay New, I temporarily cannot give you chemical fertilizers." Jiang Haiyang lowered his status and poured a glass of water for Pay New, saying.

  Feng Xinyi entered Jiang Cheng's house, and Jiang Haiyang knew what he was going to do. He understood some of the situation at Jialefu Shopping Mall.

  "What's going on?!" During this period, Fu Xin was working hard while studying and also paying attention to the situation of some shops. After all, it had just started, even if Chen Guanyu had a good business mind, Liu Yi had a good reputation, and Yang Guo was capable, it wouldn't work out. The attention that should be given, Fu Xin still had to give.

  So, Fu Xin didn't know about the factory leaders making a fuss over getting fertilizer indicators for their families.

  "Alas! This is all my fault, I didn't think it through carefully. Why did I impulsively give you the fertilizer indicator in the first place?" Jiang Haiyang sighed and said self-reproachfully.

  "Jiang Shu, you can't go back on your word now. You promised me that I could have it, and now you're not willing to give it to me? How is this going to work out? The store is still waiting for me to get the goods from the warehouse so we can sell them. And besides, the store also has Xiangzi's share." Fu Xin said with a dissatisfied expression.

  Jiang Cheng might have gone to the store and wasn't at home. Jiang Haiyang poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and said: "Alas... it's all because you pulled your sister Jiang Cheng into this partnership. With her involved, things got complicated. If not for him, I wouldn't need to say so much to you now. I would have already fired you! Am I the kind of person who doesn't follow through on what he says?

  After finishing speaking, Jiang Haiyang put down the water cup in his hand, rubbed his temples, and lay down on his own sofa.

  As the director of Hongxing Fertilizer Factory, having this kind of thing at home is nothing.

  "Jiang Shu, are you saying you've run into some trouble?" Fu Xin asked tentatively.

  I have some new awareness, but it's still a bit unclear.

  "Yes, it's a big trouble. You take fertilizers from the factory and sell them to make money. Some people become jealous and come to me, also wanting to get fertilizer quotas."

  Jiang Haiyang picked up the water cup on the table, took a sip, and continued: "At first, it was one or two, I thought you had made contributions to the factory, getting this fertilizer quota was deserved, and they refused. They also seemed to understand and didn't bother me about it."

  But later on, as more and more people found out about your lucrative business, more and more people came to me, and I still used the same excuse to turn them away. However, this time it didn't work; they all grabbed onto the fact that you, Orange Sister, have a stake in the store, and came to coerce me, attacking me, demanding that I give them the fertilizer quota, or else...

  "These people are really too much!" Fu Xin hadn't finished listening, but he couldn't help taking out the demeanor of a former academician and heavily slapped the table, saying indignantly.

  "But what's the big deal, you've already invested in stocks, that's a fact... sigh..." After saying this, Jiang Haiyang irritably supported his head with his hand and lowered it.

  "For the time being, there are two solutions. One, you hand over the money you've earned and I believe we can persuade those people to back off; Two, open up this mouth and let them also get a quota. But these are all treating the symptoms not the root of the problem! Alas...” Jiang Haiyang sighed again, he really couldn't think of any good solution.

  "Feng Xinxiaozi, aren't you clever? Hurry up and think of another way for me. If not, if we continue to make a fuss like this, something will go wrong sooner or later."

  After twice successfully resolving crises, Chiang Haiyang couldn't help but have some reliance on Fu Xin, and even pinned his hopes on him.
