Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

My uncle started talking to the family, explaining all the benefits of the trade fair.

The government will even specially invite foreigners to attend.

Lu Zhaocai's eyes lit up as he listened, and he slapped his thigh excitedly as he asked.

"If Lu Yuan goes, wouldn't this be bringing glory to the country? It would be wonderful if foreigners could see our products."

"That's not all!"

At this point, Wang Peng lowered his voice slightly.

"I heard from Lao Han that the government plans to support a number of companies this time. If anyone performs well at the trade fair, they might even receive a reward."

"What reward?"

Lu Yuan knew about this trade fair in his previous life; it was also intended to promote the economic development of Shanghai, but he couldn't go back then.

So I only heard my uncle mention it once.

"Of course, it's the support of special policies and the emphasis of government planning. For example, if you want to open a new store, you can get a better location."

Although it's only the 1990s, the unique charm of Shanghai is already beginning to emerge. After hearing this, Lu Yuan smiled and really wanted to give it a try.

Seeing that her son was determined to give it a try, Wang Xiuying nodded and said...

"Since you want to do it, let's do our best. If you're missing anything, just tell Mom. Mom has saved up some money over the years."

"You two can rest assured and relax. The mahjong parlor at home will keep you busy for a while. Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

As summer gradually arrives, the sun rises early, and the air is filled with a sweltering heat that makes walking on the street feel uncomfortable.

Early in the morning, Guan Jinhua, dressed in a cheongsam, came over with her entourage.

"Xiao Lu, is the goods we ordered ready?"

"Sister Guan was ready long ago."

Lu Yuan pointed to the several large cardboard boxes beside him and said.

"You can take stock of these Dove chocolates and the tissues you need; it's worth two thousand yuan."

Two thousand yuan worth of goods isn't a lot, but it's not a small amount either; it would take almost half a van to fit them all.

Upon seeing what was there, Guan Jinhua's expression changed slightly, a hint of gloom appearing in her eyes.

She wanted a wholesale price, but Lu Yuan wouldn't budge, so she opted to get some things this way.

She opened one of the boxes and examined it carefully.

"Xiao Lu, we've been neighbors for so many years, you wouldn't be trying to fool me with some cheap, low-quality product, would you?"

"Look at what you're saying, I would never do such a thing."

As Lu Yuan helped her put the suitcase in the car, he said calmly.

"If you find anything broken, I'll give you a full refund."

"That's enough."

After looking around, Guan Jinhua said with some disappointment.

They were all shops selling the same things, and she knew very well that even the best goods would have flaws. She wanted to find those flawed goods so she could show them off to Lu Yuan.

However, the result clearly disappointed him.

Guan Jinhua felt something was strange. Logically speaking, no matter where the goods came from, it was impossible for them to be completely without any problems.

Lu Yuan looked at those things and was also a little curious about where they were going.

"Sister Guan, I heard from Brother Chu that you're planning to go back to your hometown. Are you really only planning to take this much stuff back with you?"

"That guy who can't control his mouth, your brother Chu has a lot of relatives, I'm just bringing some for them. Besides, everyone here knows that it's best to bring your own gifts when you go out to give gifts."

Even though Guan Jinhua was jealous of Lu Yuan, she had to admit that the things Lu Yuan had were indeed good.

It's not even in the same league as other brands.

If it weren't for her conflict with Lu Yuan, she really wouldn't mind cooperating with him.

After Guan Jinhua left, Sui Tingting, who had been standing on the glass, complained.

"Boss, I feel like she's not being very sincere. Maybe she's planning to use our goods for something bad. Are you still going to sell to her?"

"Of course, a fool wouldn't make money if it's available!"

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, smiled at the person in front of him, and began to speak.

Even if Guan Jinhua wanted to use any tricks, all I had to do was control the supply. No matter how capable she was, she couldn't possibly do anything behind my back. This matter simply couldn't be kept secret.

Sui Tingting didn't understand.

"If your suppliers partner with them, then we won't be able to make any money, will we?"

"If they can find it, then they're really something."

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

Back at the store, Lu Yuan inspected the store with satisfaction and said to Sui Tingting.

"I have to go out today. You'll have to keep an eye on the shop yourself."

"no problem!"

Upon hearing this, Sui Tingting nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would definitely not let Lu Yuan down.

The summer sun shines through the sycamore trees along the roadside, creating dappled patterns of light on the ground. As you walk on it, the light shimmers and attracts attention.

"What exactly are Guan Jinhua and Chu You trying to do? Do they intend to monopolize my current business?"

On the way to Aunt Pan's house, Lu Yuan couldn't help but think about the two people's behavior.

He could understand the two people's plans, but what he didn't quite understand was why the two people would rather earn less money than cooperate with him.

Do they really intend to take away my supply channels?

Lu Yuan was soon amused by his own thoughts. He was no ordinary person, and his supply channels were completely different from what others thought, so he was naturally not afraid of others getting their hands on them.

Instead of worrying about that, he should think about how to handle the trade fair next.

When he arrived at Aunt Pan's house, he saw her busy in the yard as soon as he entered.

"Aunt Pan, are you busy?"

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming? If Old Han finds out, he'll scold you again."

Aunt Pan wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with some complaint.

She wasn't saying Lu Yuan spent money, but she was worried that Lu Yuan had spent too much money and she herself would have no savings.

She watched Lu Yuan grow up, so he was practically family to her.

Upon entering, a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit was looking down at a newspaper, occasionally adjusting his glasses.

Aunt Pan looked at his serious expression and muttered something.

"Still reading the newspaper here? Xiao Lu is here, why aren't you going to pour him some tea?"

"Just come, why bring anything? I don't buy that."

Han Guodong glanced at the two boxes of small bread and shook his head slightly, seemingly a little unhappy.

I even felt like saying a few more words to him.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan scratched his head awkwardly and said with a smile.

"Uncle Han, you're putting too much pressure on me. I didn't bring any gifts; these are just some small loaves of bread. If you don't like them, I'll take them to my uncle later."
