Reborn in 1991, I opened supermarkets all over the world.

The man in the red T-shirt might be in cahoots with the burly man. He checked in early and befriended Scarface and another young man, all to gather information.

Lu Zifeng was already a little puzzled. Logically speaking, a burly man like him doing something like this couldn't possibly be without accomplices.

The man in the red shirt never expected that the burly man would be knocked out by Gu Quan with a single punch.

If he simply abandoned his accomplices and ran away, that would be fine.

What if he went out to get reinforcements?

"Gu Quan, we can't stay here anymore, let's leave."

"what?"

Although Gu Quan had doubts, he still listened to Lu Zifeng's words without question.

Another young man besides the one with the scar asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Zifeng didn't know anything about these people and didn't bother to pay them any attention.

As Gu Quan finished putting on his pants and followed Lu Zifeng out the door, the young man and Scarface also got up and followed them out.

Several people didn't even want their deposits back.

"Don't follow us." Lu Zifeng glared warily at the two people who had followed them.

Gu Quan was even more eager to fight: "Believe it or not, I'll beat you to death!"

"Brother, I'm really not with them," Scarface explained.

Lu Zifeng glanced at the snakeskin bag on Scarface's back and questioned, "Weren't you here to ship goods? Is this all you have?"

Scarface put down the snakeskin bag, unzipped it, and said, "These are all samples from the factory. I want to see if anyone is interested. If so, we'll definitely rent a warehouse here next time."

Lu Zifeng saw that the pockets contained newly manufactured cotton-padded coats and trousers, but the styles were outdated, and it would probably be difficult to find downstream channels.

Scarface even showed Lu Zifeng his ID card: "Jiangping County, Qin Deshou."

"Let's get out of here first."

"good!"

Lu Zifeng and Qin Deshou walked ahead, and another young man was about to follow when Gu Quan grabbed him: "ID card!"

The young man gave a bitter laugh.

He came from Xicheng County, and along the way, neither the police nor the hotel owners had ever seen his ID card. This kid actually wants to see his ID card.

Gu Quan pointed a finger at the young man's chest: "No ID, no following us, or we'll break your legs!"

The young man was helpless; he was wandering alone outside in the middle of the night, and he was very scared.

He handed over his ID card: "Xicheng County, Wei Jun."

Gu Quan glanced at it: "Okay, you can come with us now."

Wei Jun: "..."

Suddenly, Lu Zifeng raised his hand, and the four of them retreated into the alleyway by the roadside.

A few swill sticks in the alleyway emitted a disgusting stench.

A moment later, the man in the red shirt, now wearing a cotton coat, led four or five men, carrying sticks, and walked menacingly past the alley.

Qin Deshou exclaimed in surprise, "This isn't theft anymore, so they've resorted to outright robbery?"

Lu Zifeng recalled some of his experiences from his previous life and did not believe that these people would openly rob him.

They might use the excuse that the burly man was injured to falsely accuse Gu Quan of being the thief and the perpetrator, demanding money from Gu Quan to settle the matter privately, or they would call the police.

Gu Quan was so disgusted by the smell of swill that he covered his nose and said, "I'd rather go out and fight them. There are four of us here, we might not necessarily lose."

Qin Deshou: "..."

Wei Jun: "..."

Lu Zifeng said in a low voice, "We're here to do business, so let's not cause trouble."

Once the group had gone far away, they emerged from the alley, greedily breathing in the fresh air outside.

Lu Zifeng glanced at his watch; it was 2:30 a.m., an hour and a half before the market opened.

Qin Deshou opened his snakeskin bag again and said, "Since you are the ones who buy in and I am the ones who sell out, why don't you take a look at the clothes from our factory? The quality is absolutely top-notch."

Lu Zifeng chuckled awkwardly, "Brother, it's already spring, and you're selling cotton-padded clothes?"

To put it bluntly, he wouldn't wear this old-fashioned cotton-padded coat even if I gave it to him.

Qin Deshou sighed: "Do you think I don't know how hard it is to sell cotton-padded coats? The factory has the most of these cotton-padded coats in stock. If we don't get rid of this stock, we won't be able to pay wages, and we won't even have the money to buy raw materials for spring and autumn clothes. So, the factory manager gave me a strict order this time: I must get these orders back."

Lu Zifeng smiled and shook his head: "Then I'll give you a death order: go and wipe out the island nation."

Qin Deshou was stunned for a moment, then sat down helplessly on the curb.

This is the fifth day he's been out. He's visited many clothing businesses, but no one wants his goods.

He heard that at four in the morning, many business owners from various districts and counties would come to the dock to pick up goods, and he just wanted to try his luck again.

Lu Zifeng's words extinguished Qin Deshou's last remaining hope.

He lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

Lu Zifeng felt that staying here was pointless, so he decided to go to the dock earlier to experience the atmosphere of the market opening.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Qin Deshou stubbed out his cigarette and handed them a business card: "Brothers, it's fate that we met in this vast sea of ​​people. We're all out here doing business. Let's keep in touch if we have the chance."

Lu Zifeng smiled and said, "We street vendors don't have anything this fancy. Why don't you just write down my pager number?"

Qin Deshou was speechless.

Pagers were truly high-end devices in that era, second only to the "big brother" mobile phone in terms of communication convenience. His business card, however, only listed a landline number for the factory's business department.

Wei Jun accepted Qin Deshou's business card and wrote Lu Zifeng's pager number on the back of the card, but he himself had no way to contact him.

Lu Zifeng's trip to the city this time was mainly an experimental purchase of goods.

Just like when selling fruit baskets, test the waters first before expanding, to avoid being overconfident and making mistakes.

However, he can still remember some phenomenal fashion trends.

For example, leggings (slip-on pants), large-blocked knitted coats, padded-shoulder suits, and some oversized coats.

These clothes are suitable for the upcoming temperatures, and unlike miniskirts, they are not unacceptable to people in the county town.

As for colors, in addition to versatile black and white, he mainly chose bright colors such as bright red, bright yellow, and royal blue.

"Boss, how much are these bodybuilding pants for you?" Lu Zifeng asked as he walked up to a stall.

"Six yuan and fifty cents."

Before Lu Zifeng could even haggle, Gu Quan shouted from the side, "Will you sell it for two yuan?"

The boss threw away the cigarette butt he was using to wake himself up and stood up: "What? A robbery?"

Lu Zifeng quickly glared at Gu Quan and explained, "My brother likes to joke. Look, I need 80, what's the lowest price you can offer?"

The shopkeeper sat back down: "Six yuan and twenty cents."

Lu Zifeng picked up a pair of leggings, felt their texture, checked the brand, and then asked, "Is five yuan okay?"

The boss chuckled awkwardly, "I think you're really here to rob me."

Lu Zifeng told Gu Quan to go look around elsewhere.

I hadn't walked more than a few steps when I heard the boss calling from behind, "Come back, come back! I'm opening for business today."

Lu Zifeng glanced at Gu Quan and felt that the price was too high.

"How about you give me 20 more hair clips as a free gift?"

Boss: "..."
