Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

buzzing...

When the car arrived, the neighbors in my mother-in-law's courtyard were all shocked.

These days, cars are a rare commodity.

It's much rarer than a bicycle.

"Who is this..."

Everyone gathered around to watch, and even Li Chunlan curiously stepped out of the house.

When Liu Aiguo and Yu Li came down, Li Chunlan couldn't stop smiling.

"Patriotism... Lily, what brings you here!"

"grandmother……"

The children also got off the bus and rushed over.

"Good, good...good children!" Li Chunlan's eyes welled up with tears when she saw the children and her daughter.

"Get in the house quickly!"

The family happily went inside, and the neighbors outside also expressed their admiration and envy.

"Old Yu's son-in-law is amazing... I heard his son and daughter are both studying in Hong Kong!"

"Lily looks so young, and she's getting more and more beautiful..."

"Hey... Haitang looks much older than her now!"

"This car is really nice, isn't this a Hongqi?... What kind of car is this?"

"I don't know... This is the first time I've seen this brand!"

……

Both maintaining stability and development are done at home.

Li Chunlan said, "Fazhan, go and call your second sister back. Tell her to come over for lunch and that your eldest sister and brother-in-law's family are here... She'll definitely come!"

"Ok!"

Yu Fazhan went out on his bicycle.

Yu Li said, "Let the driver pick them up by car; riding a bike is too slow!"

The head butler then drove over and picked up Yu Haitang and her family.

Yu Haitang's expression was not good when she got out of the car.

She is a strong-willed person who wants to be better than others in everything, especially her older sister (cjbf).

So many years have passed, and I finally managed to run over my sister once. Not long ago, she was still laughing at her brother-in-law's old bicycle, but in the blink of an eye, he already has a car.

This is a car!

It's much better than a bicycle.

But she didn't.

While both involve visiting one's parents' home, and one might not be ridiculed by others, it's inevitable that neighbors will make comparisons.

Wang Yongjun got out of the car with an awkward smile, but his four daughters were very happy and rushed into the house one by one.

"grandmother!"

The children were all happy to see their grandmother.

However, Yu Haitang's expression darkened further upon seeing Yu Li.

Yu Li is young and beautiful...

Putting everything else aside, the clothes she's wearing alone are far superior to hers.

Mink fur coat!

Tut tut...

The contrast made Yu Li look like a goddess who had stepped out of the future.

But Yu Haitang was dry and lifeless, like a country woman.

Although she wasn't actually that destitute, and Haitang's family was actually quite well-off, compared to Yu Li, she felt this way.

"Sisters, you're back!" It's still necessary to greet them.

"You're back, hehehe..." Yu Li replied with a smile as she handed out snacks to the children.

The children went to play in the yard, while the adults sat down and talked with Li Chunlan and Yu Shoucheng.

As they talked, the conversation turned to Yu Fazhan, the brother-in-law.

"Development... How's your TV business going?" Yu Haitang deliberately stirred up trouble: "You, you're doing a perfectly good job as a university teacher, you're going to be promoted to associate professor next year, why are you joining in this commotion!"

"Now look what's happened! You've lost your job. Your parents spent so much money on you and raised you for so many years, and it's all for nothing!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Li felt embarrassed.

Clearly, this is an attempt to attack from afar.

While seemingly praising Yu Fazhan, they were actually criticizing Liu Aiguo, blaming Liu Aiguo for dragging Yu Fazhan down with him.

"This..." Yu Fazhan smiled awkwardly and said, "It's alright... Second sister, we're all just trying to make a living, it doesn't matter where we work. Alright, this was my own idea, don't blame your husband or anyone else!"

“Exactly!” Yu Fazhan’s wife chimed in, “What era are we living in now? Many people are going into business. Didn’t your Wang Yongjun quit his job and start his own business?”

"That's different!"

Yu Haitang said, "My Yongjun has a legitimate business. He does quite well in his own business, and his income is much better than working in the factory."

"Hey... Come to think of it, my brother-in-law actually tried to drag me into this... Luckily, I didn't go!"

"Otherwise, wouldn't our tailor shop business go out of business?"

Yu Haitang acted and directed everything by herself, not giving anyone else a chance to speak.

After waiting a while, seeing that she was tired, Liu Aiguo finally said, "How's the development... in East China? The woman I introduced you to... is she reliable?"

"good!"

Yu Fazhan said, "She's quite familiar with the relationships there, and she sorted things out in a week. Now we're partners, and I'll give her 30% of the profits while I take 70%!"

"There's probably a profit of ten yuan per TV set, and I make seven yuan!"

Liu Aiguo said, "You'd better be careful, this woman is a seasoned veteran... she's got a lot of tricks up her sleeve!"

Yu Fazhan said, "Don't worry, brother-in-law, it's cash on delivery, she can't fool me!"

Liu Aiguo nodded.

Yu Haitang asked with some curiosity, "Development? What did you just say? Selling a TV from Beijing to East China, the profit is only seven yuan per set?"

"Then you might as well come and become a tailor with us!"

"By the way... how many can you usually sell?"

A sense of relief flickered in Yu Haitang's eyes.

Yu Fazhan frowned, thought for about ten seconds, and said, "We've shipped three sets this month... That should add up to more than seven thousand television sets!"

"How many?"

Yu Haitang's mouth dropped open in shock: "How much... seven... more than seven thousand?"

There's a profit of seven yuan per unit.

These seven thousand-plus units, wouldn't that be... forty-nine?

fifty thousand?

sizzle...

"You earned 50,000 a month?" Yu Haitang was going crazy.

However, Yu Fazhan calmly replied, "Hmm... that's about right..."

puff……

Yu Haitang almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Oh shit……

Fifty thousand a month.
