Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

Since the time had been agreed upon beforehand, Lu Yuan wasn't in a hurry when he arrived the next day.

He had just opened the warehouse when Wei Jianjun pulled in a small cart. After seeing the contents, he looked excitedly at Lu Yuan.

"Brother Lu, have you been waiting a little too long? I went to look for a car first thing this morning."

"Brother Wei, what are you saying? I just got here too."

Lu Yuan was indeed a little surprised and quickly led him inside.

Ten tons of goods is neither a lot nor a small amount.

In one corner of the warehouse, dozens of bags of spiced peanuts were neatly arranged.

Seeing these goods again, Lu Yuan couldn't help but admire them; the quantity was truly substantial.

Even he felt that his shop might not be able to sell that many items in a short time. However, the purchasing power of people in Shanghai is not low, but they would not buy just one item.

Wei Jianjun came prepared; he had already prepared a small cart and had two hired workers start lifting it onto the cart.

Lu Yuan also lent a hand, asking questions out of curiosity.

"Brother Wei, what do you need so many spiced peanuts for? Why don't you buy something else?"

"That's a trade secret. Unless you promise to give me a 50% discount next time I order!"

Wei Jianjun looked at the person in front of him with a mysterious air, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

I want to keep you in suspense.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan turned around and tried to leave without saying a word.

As soon as he saw that Lu Yuan was about to leave, Wei Jianjun quickly stopped him and said with a smile.

"Actually, it's not some kind of get-rich-quick scheme that needs to be hidden. I've eaten quite a few peanuts and edamame before, and this is the first one I've ever seen that tastes so good and flavorful."

Wei Jianjun was genuinely curious about this. He had eaten peanuts, edamame, and plenty of sunflower seeds, but he always felt that these things weren't flavorful enough or good with alcohol.

On the contrary, these spiced peanuts are really delicious. Once you grab a handful, you don't want to stop eating them. In no time, they're all gone.

It was with this thought in mind that he looked at Lu Yuan with admiration, greeted him with a smile, and continued speaking.

"Could you tell me how these spiced peanuts are made?"

"That's a trade secret, but Brother Wei hasn't told me what he promised me yet."

Lu Yuan, of course, couldn't say that, and looked at him with a smile as he spoke.

The reason he became so close to Wei Jianjun was because he had a pleasant conversation with him on the phone yesterday.

The two people share many similar ideas, which is why this statement came about today.

Wei Jianjun laughed and scolded him for being disloyal before speaking.

"This stuff is really delicious. After tasting it, I knew it must be good stuff, and it'll definitely sell well."

"Think about it, if I have something that sells so well, my competitors will be interested in it within three days, and then I can resell it to them."

"I estimate it will be done in less than two weeks."

As he spoke, he pointed to himself, not to praise himself, but simply to say that these were things he was capable of doing.

After saying all that, he continued speaking.

"How is it?"

"Anything else?"

Lu Yuan smiled.

Wei Jianjun was someone who couldn't keep a secret. Seeing that Lu Yuan had directly revealed his thoughts, he didn't feel it was inappropriate and nodded before continuing to speak.

"What you said is true."

"You want to wait until this product gains traction, and then who will your competitors turn to after they sell out? In the end, they'll all come to me. I'll use their deposits to buy more stock, and that'll be it..."

At this point, Wei Jianjun looked at Lu Yuan and smiled.

"I just think you've got a knack for business, but you're a little slow on the uptake. If I were you, I'd be just like you..."

He originally intended to lecture Lu Yuan and share some of his senior's experience, but when the words came to his lips, he froze.

Looking at Lu Yuan's innocent face, I almost cursed at him.

"So you already knew that, didn't you?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Lu Yuan quickly shook his head in denial, saying that this matter had nothing to do with him.

Wei Jianjun also lost interest in chatting.

I mainly didn't know what else to talk about.

What he thought was a way to make money turned out to be someone else's method, which they were already using. He was speechless.

All I could do was nod.

After seeing Wei Jianjun off, Lu Yuan laughed as he thought of his words.

There is never a shortage of smart people. When I thought of something, Wei Jianjun thought of it too. It's just that he didn't have the ability and resources. Otherwise, he would have been rich long ago.

These words convinced Lu Yuan that Wei Jianjun was a potential business partner with whom he could get to know better.

A short while later, Li Cheng from Taiwan also arrived. He didn't have a big car, but only a small van.

Lu Yuan helped him carry the goods upstairs.

When it came time to pay the final installment, Li Cheng looked at him and smiled.

"I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You're much more honest than the others, and I admire you for that."

"People with such courage and determination are rare."

Lu Yuan looked at him with a smile and said.

Taiwan is quite a distance from here, so the fact that he came all the way here to buy goods shows that this young man is also quite ambitious.

Like him, she enjoys adventure.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan's lips unconsciously curled up, and he looked at the person in front of him and said with a smile.

"If this product sells well, you can continue to order from me. The more you buy, the better the discount."

"That's for sure."

Li Cheng didn't mind these words and nodded in agreement before speaking.

"If I come back then, I definitely won't just want this one thing. You'll have to get me a lot of other things then."

"You won't be able to do this simple thing by then; I'll open a supermarket."

Lu Yuan smiled and said to him.

After saying all that, the two finally parted ways.

It took another half day to finally get everything sorted out, and Lu Yuan received an additional tens of thousands of yuan in final payment compared to before.

With the money he had accumulated in the previous period, Lu Yuan now had nearly 400,000 yuan in his hands, but in Lu Yuan's eyes, this amount of money was far from enough.

After Lu Yuan finished eating at home, he went to the Friendship Store. However, unlike before, the store didn't have much business today.

When he arrived, Sui Tingting quickly asked.

"Now is the time to make money, why are you making me close the shop? Don't you plan to make money this afternoon? Several groups of customers have asked why we came."
