Returning wealthy individuals develop their hometowns and become rich in the 1980s

"Wow! That's huge!"

After passing through the gate, Chen Zaixing, imitating Chen Dong, inserted coins and pushed a shopping cart into the supermarket. As soon as he entered, Chen Zaixing couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at the scene before him. Even Chen Zaixing, a frequent visitor to the Huaxia Supply and Marketing Cooperative, was speechless.

Rows of blue shelves, three or four meters high, are neatly filled with all kinds of goods. There are no sales assistants here. You can fill your shopping cart with whatever you like.

Although Chen Zaisheng was also somewhat surprised, unlike Chen Zaixing, he had at least some prior knowledge of America's situation from newspapers and magazines. However, what he had seen in books or newspapers was quite different from what he was seeing in person.

The candies, meats, and drinks that required ration coupons to purchase at the Huaxia Supply and Marketing Cooperative were all neatly categorized and stacked together on pallets. Chen Zaixing picked up a bag of candies with English writing on the packaging and asked Chen Dong, "Dongzi, aren't you afraid someone will steal them if we just leave them here like this?"

"Hehe, what's there to be afraid of?" Chen Dong said nonchalantly. "A bag of chocolates costs less than three dollars. No one will steal it. Everyone who can come into the supermarket is a member."

"If you're not a member, the security guards at the entrance won't let you in."

If you want to do a "zero-dollar purchase" at Huadongsheng Supermarket, you first have to get in. Unauthorized entry is no small matter at America. Just as Chen Dong and his group entered, there was a New York PD police car parked in the corner of the parking lot.

Large local taxpayers like Huadongsheng Company have close cooperation with the local police department. Every quarter, Huadongsheng Supermarket donates ten membership slots to the New York Police Department under the guise of a donation, with $2,000 pre-deposited in the slots.

Those COPs who obtained memberships at Huadongsheng Supermarket would park their cars at the supermarket entrance during breaks in their patrols, taking a 'brief' rest there.

The fast food restaurant at the entrance of Huadongsheng Supermarket also accepts membership cards, and the prices are much lower than for passersby. Even the New York PD officers who have tried the donuts there give them a thumbs up and say that the donuts are really delicious!

Little Chen Hui shouted to Little Rongguo, "Little brother, come here quickly, I'll show you something fun!"

"Here I am, brother, wait for me!" Xiao Rongguo, whose legs were too short to keep up with his brother's pace, called out from behind.

Fearing that something might happen to the two little kids, Chen Lianxiang quickly followed. By the time she caught up with them, they had already climbed onto a lawnmower.

Little Chen Hui sat on the lawnmower, turning the steering wheel with both hands and making beeping noises. Little Rong Guo imitated his brother, shouting "Ah ah ah!"

Those who passed by smiled knowingly when they saw the two children innocently playing with the lawnmower, and then pushed their carts away.

Most of the people who come to Huadongsheng Supermarket to shop are married adults, and most of them have one or two children. They are quite tolerant of children and don't find it annoying when the children are noisy.

"Hey! Jimmy, you're back from China?"

Chen Lianxiang looked in the direction of the person who spoke and saw a Chinese man wearing a red and yellow T-shirt from Huadongsheng Supermarket and silver glasses walking towards Xiao Chenhui, who was still shouting on the lawnmower.

Fearing for Chen Hui's safety, Chen Lianxiang followed him. Hearing the voice, Chen Hui called out, "Uncle Sheng, you look younger!"

"Hahaha!"

Lin Qingsheng chuckled and squatted down. "Jimmy, Uncle has noticed that your words have become much sweeter since your trip to China. You've even learned to compliment people politely."

"But I didn't eat any candy," Xiao Chenhui said, tilting his head to the side.

Seeing Chen Lianxiang standing nervously to one side, looking at him warily, Lin Qingsheng stood up and said, "I'm Lin Qingsheng, the manager of Huadong Sheng. And you are?"

"My name is Chen Lianxiang. I am Jimi's aunt." Chen Lianxiang hesitated as she looked at Lin Qingsheng's outstretched hand, not intending to shake hands with him.

"You're from China?"

"Yes, Dongzi brought us here," Chen Lianxiang pointed to where Chen Dong and the others were standing. Chen Dong and the others noticed this place and walked over with smiles.

"Qingsheng," Chen Dong came over and introduced Chen Zaisheng and the other man to him, "I've invested in a factory in China, and I plan to produce some dried fruit and other products. They will be sold through the company's procurement channels and sold at Huadong Sheng."

The two walked on like that. Chen Lianxiang stopped where she was and did not follow, but Chen Zaixing and Chen Zaisheng followed behind and listened to their conversation.

Is the planned production volume large?

"I'm currently planning to set up two production lines first to see how the products are received and put on the shelves. Then we'll see how the production capacity is increased."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Qingsheng said, "Tony, it would be best to send a batch of samples over here first for a series of tests and to get some certificates. We need to smooth things over with the food bureau, otherwise, once the production line is up and running, I'm afraid your goods in China will be blocked by customs."

"I understand. I brought it with me this time," Chen Dong said, then looked behind him and saw that Chen Lianxiang hadn't come with him. He called out to her, "Sister, come here for a second, I have something to tell you."

After Chen Lianxiang arrived, Chen Dong said to Lin Qingsheng, "My brother was originally one of the people in charge this time, but he needs to be hospitalized for treatment due to health reasons. So this time, I'll have my sister go with you to the Food Bureau. If there's anything you don't understand, please help us solve it."

Chen Lianxiang smiled politely at Lin Qingsheng, then extended her hand, mimicking the polite manners of America's people, "Mr. Lin, please forgive me if I don't understand anything or do anything wrong."

"Okay, Sister Xiang," Lin Qingsheng said with a smile, shaking Chen Lianxiang's outstretched hand. Although the two only shook hands lightly, Chen Zaixing frowned.

He felt that the bespectacled young man in front of him was looking at his sister with such ill intent. Could this kid be up to something?

No, I have to be careful around this kid!

His sister had already been hurt once by that bastard Liu Guomin, so he couldn't let her be tricked by this kid again. With this thought in mind, Chen Zaixing immediately said to Chen Dong, "Dongzi, I'll stay with my sister these days. She hasn't fully recovered yet, so I'll take care of her."

Chen Dong was unaware of Chen Zaixing's inner thoughts. He nodded. In any case, Chen Dong would have bodyguards accompany Chen Lianxiang when she went out, and he would never let Chen Lianxiang wander alone in America, a foreign land.

Lin Qingsheng smiled politely at Chen Zaixing without saying a word, which made Chen Zaixing even more convinced that there was something wrong with the kid.
